Article
II.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS


 


Section
2.01          Shelf
Registration.


 


(a)          Shelf Registration. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prepare and file an initial
registration statement under the Securities Act prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date hereof to permit the resale
of Registrable Securities from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 (or any similar provision adopted by the Commission then in
effect) of the Securities Act (a “Registration Statement”) and (ii) cause such initial Registration Statement
to become effective as soon as practicable after filing thereof and in no event later than the date that is six (6) months after
the date hereof (the “Target Effective Date”). The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) to be continuously effective under the Securities Act,
with respect to any Holder, until the date on which there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding (the “Effectiveness
Period”). A Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) shall be on such appropriate registration
form of the Commission as shall be selected by the Company; provided that, if the Company is then eligible, it shall file
such Registration Statement on Form S-3. A Registration Statement when declared effective (including the documents incorporated
therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (and, in the case of any prospectus contained in such Registration
Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which a statement is made). As soon as practicable following the date that a
Registration Statement becomes effective, but in any event within three Business Days of such date, the Company shall provide the
Holders with written notice of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. The Company shall not be obligated to maintain
more than one effective Registration Statement at any given time pursuant to this Section 2.01.


 


(b)          Delay Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may, upon written notice to
any Selling Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement, suspend such Selling Holder’s use
of any prospectus which is a part of such Registration Statement (in which event the Selling Holder shall suspend sales of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement) if (i) the Company is pursuing an acquisition, merger, reorganization,
disposition or other similar transaction and the Company determines in good faith that the Company’s ability to pursue or
consummate such a transaction would be materially and adversely affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in such
Registration Statement, or (ii) the Company or any of its Affiliates has experienced some other material non-public event, the
disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Company, would materially and adversely affect the Company;
provided, however, that in no event shall the Selling Holders be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Registration Statement for a period that exceeds an aggregate of 60 days in any 180-day period or 90 days in any 365-day
period. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition described above, the Company shall promptly provide
notice to the Selling Holders whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement, and shall promptly terminate
any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other actions necessary or appropriate to permit registered
sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section
2.01(b) shall apply to any Underwritten Offering undertaken pursuant to Section 2.03.


 






     


     


    

 


Section 2.02       
Piggyback Registration.


 


(a)          Participation. If at any time the Company proposes to file (i) a Registration Statement (other than a Registration
Statement contemplated by Section 2.01(a)) on behalf of any other Person who has registration rights related to an Underwritten
Offering (the “Other Holder”) or (ii) a prospectus supplement relating to the sale of shares of Company Common
Stock by any Other Holders pursuant to an effective registration statement, so long as the Company is a WKSI at such time or, whether
or not the Company is a WKSI, so long as the Registrable Securities were previously included in the underlying shelf Registration
Statement or are included on an effective Registration Statement, or in any case in which Holders may participate in such offering
without the filing of a post-effective amendment, in each case, for the sale of shares of Company Common Stock by the Company and/or
Other Holders in an Underwritten Offering, then the Company shall give not less than four Business Days’ notice (including,
but not limited to, notification by electronic mail) (the “Piggyback Notice”) of such proposed Underwritten
Offering to each Holder that, together with its Affiliates, owns at least $15 million of Registrable Securities and such Piggyback
Notice shall offer such Holder the opportunity to include in such Underwritten Offering for Other Holders such number of Registrable
Securities (the “Included Registrable Securities”) as such Holder may request in writing (a “Piggyback
Registration”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to offer such opportunity (A)
to such Holders if the Holders, together with their Affiliates, do not offer a minimum of $15 million of Registrable Securities,
in the aggregate (determined by multiplying the number of Registrable Securities owned by the average of the closing price on the
National Securities Exchange for shares of Company Common Stock for the 10 trading days preceding the date of such Piggyback Notice),
or such lesser amount if it constitutes the remaining holdings of the Holder and its Affiliates, or (B) to such Holders if and
to the extent that the Company has been advised by the Managing Underwriter in writing that the inclusion of Registrable Securities
for sale for the benefit of such Holders will have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the shares of Company
Common Stock in such Underwritten Offering, then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders
shall be determined based on the provisions of Section 2.02(b). Each Piggyback Notice shall be provided to Holders on a
Business Day pursuant to Section 3.01 and receipt of such Piggyback Notice shall be confirmed and kept confidential by the
Holders until either (x) such proposed Underwritten Offering has been publicly announced by the Company or (y) the Holders have
received notice from the Company that such proposed Underwritten Offering has been abandoned, which the Company shall provide to
the Holders reasonably promptly after the final decision to abandon such proposed Underwritten Offering has been made. Each such
Holder will have four Business Days (or two Business Days in connection with any overnight or bought Underwritten Offering) after
such Piggyback Notice has been delivered to request in writing to the Company the inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Underwritten
Offering for Other Holders. If no request for inclusion from a Holder is received by the Company within the specified time or if
a Holder states in its response to the Piggyback Notice that it declines the opportunity to include Registrable Securities in the
Underwritten Offering, such Holder shall have no further right to participate in such Underwritten Offering. If, at any time after
giving written notice of the Company’s intention to undertake an Underwritten Offering for Other Holders and prior to the
pricing of such Underwritten Offering, such Underwritten Offering is terminated or delayed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to the Selling Holders and, (1) in the case of a termination
of such Underwritten Offering, shall be relieved of its obligation to sell any Included Registrable Securities in connection with
such terminated Underwritten Offering, and (2) in the case of a determination to delay such Underwritten Offering, shall be permitted
to delay offering any Included Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in the Underwritten Offering. Any Selling
Holder shall have the right to withdraw such Selling Holder’s request for inclusion of such Selling Holder’s Registrable
Securities in such Underwritten Offering by giving written notice to the Company of such withdrawal at least one Business Day prior
to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. Any Holder may deliver written notice (a “Piggyback Opt-Out Notice”)
to the Company requesting that such Holder not receive notice from the Company of any proposed Underwritten Offering for Other
Holders; provided, however, that such Holder may later revoke any such Piggyback Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following
receipt of a Piggyback Opt-Out Notice from a Holder (unless subsequently revoked), the Company shall not be required to deliver
any notice to such Holder pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) and such Holder shall no longer be entitled to participate in
any Underwritten Offering for Other Holders pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), unless such Piggyback Opt-Out Notice is revoked
by such Holder.


 






     


     


    

 


(b)          Priority of Piggyback Registration. If the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering
for Other Holders advise the Company in writing that the total amount of Registrable Securities that Holders intend to include
in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price,
timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities offered or the market for the shares of Company Common Stock, then the Company
shall include the number of shares of Company Common Stock that such Managing Underwriter or Underwriters advise the Company can
be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated (i) in the event that the Person that initiated such
Underwritten Offering is the Company, (A) first, to the Company, (B) second, pro rata among (1) any Holders who are exercising
piggyback registration rights pursuant to this Section 2.02 related to such offering and (2) any Persons owning shares of
Company Common Stock, having piggyback registration rights pari passu to those of the Holders described in this Section
2.02(b)(i)(B) and exercising such piggyback registration rights and (C) third, pro rata among any Persons owning shares of
Company Common Stock having piggyback registration rights subordinate to those of the Holders and exercising such piggyback registration
rights and (ii) in the event that any Person other than the Company initiated such Underwritten Offering, (A) first, to the Person
that initiated such Underwritten Offering, (B) second, pro rata among (1) all other Holders who are exercising piggyback registration
rights pursuant to this Section 2.02 related to such offering and (2) any Persons owning shares of Company Common Stock,
having piggyback registration rights pari passu to those of the Holders described in this Section 2.02(b)(ii) and
exercising such piggyback registration rights and (C) third, pro rata among the Company (to the extent that such Person was not
the Person initiating the Underwritten Offering on its own behalf) and Persons owning shares of Company Common Stock having piggyback
registration rights subordinate to those of the Holders and exercising such piggyback registration rights (it being understood
that “pro rata,” as used in this Section 2.02, is based, for each such Person or Holder, as applicable, on the
percentage derived by dividing (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Person or Holder, as
applicable, in such offering by (y) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be sold by the Persons sharing
in the same tier of pro rata allocation).


 






     


     


    

 


Section 2.03       
Underwritten Offering.


 


(a)          S-3 Registration. In the event that any Holder elects to dispose of Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement
pursuant to an Underwritten Offering and either (i) reasonably expects gross proceeds of at least $50 million from such Underwritten
Offering (together with any Registrable Securities to be disposed of by a Selling Holder who has elected to participate in such
Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.02) or (ii) reasonably expects gross proceeds of at least $25 million from such
Underwritten Offering (together with any Registrable Securities to be disposed of by a Selling Holder who has elected to participate
in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.02) and such Registrable Securities represent 100% of the then outstanding
Registrable Securities held by the applicable Selling Holder and Affiliates, the Company shall, at the written request of such
Selling Holder(s), enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the
Company with the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the Company after consultation with the Holders of a majority
of the Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Offering, which shall include, among other provisions, indemnities
to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 2.08, and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested
by the Managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
provided, however, that no Selling Holder may demand an Underwritten Offering within 90 days of another Underwritten
Offering; provided, further, that if the Company or its Affiliates are conducting or actively pursuing a securities
offering of shares of Company Common Stock with anticipated gross offering proceeds of at least $50 million (other than in connection
with any at-the-market offering or similar continuous offering program), then the Company may suspend such Selling Holder’s
right to require the Company to conduct an Underwritten Offering on such Selling Holder’s behalf pursuant to this Section
2.03; provided, however, that the Company shall have no obligation to facilitate or participate in, including entering
into any underwriting agreement for, more than three Underwritten Offerings at the request of the Holders in any 365-day period;
provided, further, that the Company may only suspend such Selling Holder’s right to require the Company to
conduct an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.03 once in any six-month period and in no event for a period
that exceeds an aggregate of 45 days in any 180-day period or 75 days in any 365-day period; provided, further, that to
the extent the Company suspends a Selling Holder’s right to require the Company to conduct an Underwritten Offering pursuant
to this Section 2.03, and either (x) (A) such Selling Holder subsequently elects to participate in such Company Underwritten
Offering pursuant to Section 2.02(a) and (B) the amount of Registrable Securities such Selling Holder elects to sell by
participating in such Company Underwritten Offering is reduced (pursuant to Section 2.02(b)) by more than 50% or (y) such
Selling Holder does not, or is unable to, participate in such Company Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.02(a),
such Selling Holder shall not be subject to the 90 day prohibition described in this paragraph on subsequent Underwritten Offerings
until such Selling Holder’s next demand for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.03.


 






     


     


    

 


(b)          General Procedures. In connection with any Underwritten Offering contemplated by Section 2.03(a), the underwriting
agreement into which each Selling Holder and the Company shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities
(subject to Section 2.08) and other rights and obligations as are customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the
Company. No Selling Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or the
Underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Selling Holder’s authority to enter into
such underwriting agreement and to sell, and its ownership of, the securities being registered on its behalf, its intended method
of distribution and any other representation required by law. If any Selling Holder disapproves of the terms of an Underwritten
Offering contemplated by this Section 2.03, such Selling Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by notice to the Company
and the Managing Underwriter; provided, however, that such withdrawal must be made at least one Business Day prior
to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering to be effective; provided, further, that in the event the Managing
Underwriter or Underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering advise the Company that the total amount of Registrable Securities
that Holders intend to include in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have
an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Common Unit Registrable Securities offered or the market for shares
of Company Common Stock, and the amount of Common Unit Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering
by the Holder that initiated such Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.03(a) (the “Initiating Holder”)
is reduced by 50% or more, the Initiating Holder will have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Offering by delivering
notice to the Company at least one Business Day prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering, in which case the Company
will have no obligation to proceed with such Underwritten Offering and such Underwritten Offering, whether or not completed, will
not decrease the number of Underwritten Offerings the Initiating Holder shall have the right and option to request under this Section
2.03. No such withdrawal or abandonment shall affect the Company’s obligation to pay Registration Expenses.


 


Section 2.04       
Further Obligations. In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Company will:


 


(a)          promptly prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus

covered by such Registration Statement;


 






     


     


    

 


(b)          if a prospectus supplement will be used in connection with the marketing of an Underwritten Offering under a Registration
Statement and the Managing Underwriter at any time shall notify the Company in writing that, in the sole judgment of such Managing
Underwriter, inclusion of detailed information to be used in such prospectus supplement is of material importance to the success
of such Underwritten Offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to include such information in such prospectus supplement;


 


(c)          furnish to each Selling Holder (i) as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing a Registration Statement or
any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement or any supplement or amendment thereto, upon request, copies of
reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and each document incorporated by reference
therein to the extent then required by the rules and regulations of the Commission), and provide each such Selling Holder the opportunity
to object to any information pertaining to such Selling Holder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein and, to the
extent timely received, make the corrections reasonably requested by such Selling Holder with respect to such information prior
to filing such Registration Statement or such other registration statement and the prospectus included therein or any supplement
or amendment thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of such Registration Statement or such other registration statement and the
prospectus included therein and any supplements and amendments thereto as such Persons may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the resale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or other registration statement;


 


(d)          if applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered
by any Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement under the securities or blue sky
laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the Managing Underwriter, shall
reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to transact business
in any jurisdiction where it is not then required to so qualify or to take any action that would subject it to general service
of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;


 


(e)          promptly notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered by any of
them under the Securities Act, of (i) the filing of a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by
this Agreement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any other registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when
the same has become effective; and (ii) the receipt of any written comments from the Commission with respect to any filing referred
to in clause (i) and any written request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or
any other registration statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto;


 






     


     


    

 


(f)           promptly notify each Selling Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered by any of
them under the Securities Act, of (i) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus or prospectus supplement contained
in a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, as then in effect, includes an
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
a statement is made); (ii) the issuance or express threat of issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, or the initiation of any proceedings
for that purpose; or (iii) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of
any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Following the provision
of such notice, the Company agrees to, as promptly as practicable, amend or supplement the prospectus or prospectus supplement
or take other appropriate action so that the prospectus or prospectus supplement does not include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in the light of the circumstances then existing and to take such other action as is reasonably necessary to remove a stop order,
suspension, threat thereof or proceedings related thereto;


 


(g)          upon request and subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, furnish to each Selling Holder copies of any and all
transmittal letters or other correspondence with the Commission or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other
body having jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to such offering of Registrable Securities;

applicable underwriting agreement and (ii) a “comfort letter” addressed to the Underwriters, dated as of the pricing
date of such Underwritten Offering and a letter of like kind dated as of the date of the closing under the applicable underwriting
agreement, in each case, signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements
included or incorporated by reference into the applicable registration statement, and each of the opinion and the “comfort
letter” shall be in customary form and covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement
(and the prospectus and any prospectus supplement) as have been customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in
accountants’ letters delivered to the Underwriters in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company and such other
matters as such Underwriters may reasonably request;


 


(i)           otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission;

information and Company personnel as is reasonable and customary to enable such parties to establish a due diligence defense under
the Securities Act; provided, however, that the Company need not disclose any non-public information to any such
representative unless and until such representative has entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Company;

(l)           use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other
governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company to enable the
Selling Holders to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;


 


(m)         provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement not later than
the Effective Date of such Registration Statement;


 


(n)          enter into customary agreements and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Selling Holders or the Underwriters,
if any, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities (including making appropriate officers of
the Company available to participate in customary marketing activities); provided, however, that the officers of
the Company shall not be required to dedicate an unreasonably burdensome amount of time in connection with any roadshow and related
marketing activities for any Underwritten Offering;


 


(o)          if reasonably requested by a Selling Holder, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such
information as such Selling Holder reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable
Securities, including information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price
being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; and (ii) make
all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated
in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;


 


(p)          if reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent, promptly deliver any authorizations, certificates and directions
required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to transfer such Registrable Securities without legend
upon sale by the Holder of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement; and


 


(q)          if any Holder could reasonably be deemed to be an “underwriter,” as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities
Act, in connection with the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereof (a “Holder Underwriter Registration
Statement”), then reasonably cooperate with such Holder in allowing such Holder to conduct customary “underwriter’s
due diligence” with respect to the Company and satisfy its obligations in respect thereof. In addition, at any Holder’s
request, the Company will furnish to such Holder, on the date of the effectiveness of the Holder Underwriter Registration Statement
and thereafter from time to time on such dates as such Holder may reasonably request (provided that such request shall not be more
frequently than on an annual basis unless such Holder is offering Registrable Securities pursuant to a Holder Underwriter Registration
Statement), (i) a “comfort letter”, dated as of such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants
in form and substance as has been customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in Underwritten
Offerings of securities by the Company, addressed to such Holder, (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing
the Company for purposes of the Holder Underwriter Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as has been customarily
given in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company, including standard “10b-5” negative assurance for such
offerings, addressed to such Holder and (iii) a standard officer’s certificate from the chief executive officer or chief
financial officer, or other officers serving such functions, of the Company addressed to the Holder, as has been customarily given
by such officers in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company. The Company will also use its commercially reasonable
efforts to provide legal counsel to such Holder with an opportunity to review and comment upon any such Holder Underwriter Registration
Statement, and any amendments and supplements thereto, prior to its filing with the Commission.


 






     


     


    

 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 2.04, the Company will not name a Holder as an underwriter (as defined in Section 2(a)(11)
of the Securities Act) in any Registration Statement or Holder Underwriter Registration Statement, as applicable, without such
Holder’s consent. If the staff of the Commission requires the Company to name any Holder as an underwriter (as defined in
Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act), and such Holder does not consent thereto, then such Holder’s Registrable Securities
shall not be included on the applicable Registration Statement, and the Company shall have no further obligations hereunder with
respect to Registrable Securities held by such Holder, unless such Holder has not had an opportunity to conduct customary underwriter’s
due diligence as set forth in Section 2.04(q) with respect to the Company at the time such Holder’s consent is sought.


 


Each Selling Holder,
upon receipt of notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.04(f), shall forthwith
discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus or prospectus supplement until such Selling
Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.04(f) or until
it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any additional
or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, such Selling Holder will,
or will request the Managing Underwriter or Managing Underwriters, if any, to deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense)
all copies in their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder’s possession, of
the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.


 


Section 2.05       
Cooperation by Holders. The Company shall have no obligation to include Registrable Securities of a Holder in a
Registration Statement or in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.03(a) if such Holder
has failed to timely furnish such information that the Company determines, after consultation with its counsel, is reasonably
required in order for any registration statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act.


 






     


     


    

 


Section 2.06       
Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each Holder of Registrable Securities who is participating
in an Underwritten Offering agrees to enter into a customary letter agreement with Underwriters providing that such Holder will
not effect any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities during the 45 calendar day period beginning on the date of
a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the Commission with respect to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering; provided,
however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the
duration of the shortest restriction imposed by the Underwriters on the Company or the officers, directors or any other Affiliate
of the Company on whom a restriction is imposed and (ii) the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.06 shall not apply
to any Registrable Securities that are included in such Underwritten Offering by such Holder.


 


Section 2.07       
Expenses.


 


(a)          Certain Definitions. “Registration Expenses” shall not include Selling Expenses but otherwise
means all expenses incident to the Company’s performance under or compliance with this Agreement to effect the registration
of Registrable Securities on a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.01, a Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section
2.02, or an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.03, and the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including
all registration, filing, securities exchange listing and National Securities Exchange fees, all registration, filing, qualification
and other fees and expenses of complying with securities or blue sky laws, fees of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
fees of transfer agents and registrars, all word processing, duplicating and printing expenses, and the fees and disbursements
of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, including the expenses of any special audits or “cold comfort”
letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance. “Selling Expenses” means all underwriting
fees, discounts and selling commissions and transfer taxes allocable to the sale of the Registrable Securities, plus any costs
or expenses related to any roadshows conducted in connection with the marketing of any Underwritten Offering.


 


(b)          Expenses. The Company will pay all reasonable Registration Expenses, as determined in good faith, in connection with
a shelf Registration, a Piggyback Registration or an Underwritten Offering, whether or not any sale is made pursuant to such shelf
Registration, Piggyback Registration or Underwritten Offering. Each Selling Holder shall pay its pro rata share of all Selling
Expenses in connection with any sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder. In addition, except as otherwise provided in Section
2.08, the Company shall not be responsible for professional fees (including legal fees) incurred by Holders in connection with
the exercise of such Holders’ rights hereunder.


 


Section 2.08       
Indemnification.


 


(a)          By the Company. In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to
this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder thereunder, its directors, officers, managers,
partners, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, managers, partners, employees or agents (collectively, the “Selling
Holder Indemnified Persons”), against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder Indemnified Person
may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings,
whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact (in the case of any prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which such statement is made) contained
in (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes documents incorporated by reference in) the applicable Registration Statement or
other registration statement contemplated by this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement or final prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or any free writing prospectus relating thereto, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading,
and will reimburse each such Selling Holder Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating, defending or resolving any such Loss or actions or proceedings; provided, however, that the Company
will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Selling Holder
Indemnified Person in writing specifically for use in the applicable Registration Statement or other registration statement, preliminary
prospectus, prospectus supplement or final prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus relating
thereto, as applicable. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf
of such Selling Holder Indemnified Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder.


 






     


     


    

 


(b)          By Each Selling Holder. Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
the Company’s directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, who, directly or indirectly, controls the Company
within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company
to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf
of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in a Registration Statement or any other registration statement contemplated by
this Agreement, any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement
thereto or any free writing prospectus relating thereto; provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Holder shall
not be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of any Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from
the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification.


 


(c)          Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying
party in writing thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it
may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 2.08(c), except to the extent that the indemnifying party
is materially prejudiced by such failure. In any action brought against any indemnified party, it shall notify the indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish,
to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying
party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 2.08 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with
counsel so selected; provided, however, that, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense or employ
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses
available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if the
interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, then the
indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate
in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related
to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
no indemnifying party shall settle any action brought against any indemnified party with respect to which such indemnified party
may be entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the indemnified party, unless the settlement thereof imposes
no liability or obligation on, includes a complete and unconditional release from liability of, and does not contain any admission
of wrongdoing by, the indemnified party.


 






     


     


    

 


(d)          Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.08 is held by a court or government agency
of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to any indemnified party or is insufficient to hold them harmless in respect of any
Losses, then each such indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however,
that in no event shall any Selling Holder be required to contribute an aggregate amount in excess of the dollar amount of proceeds
(net of Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification.
The relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount
paid by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include
any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, defending or resolving
any Loss that is the subject of this paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.


 


(e)          Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.08 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification
or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise.


 






     


     


    

 


Section 2.09       
Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission
that may permit the resale of the Registrable Securities without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable
efforts to:


 


(a)          make and keep public information regarding the Company available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in effect), at all times from and after the date hereof;


 


(b)          file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof; and


 


(c)          so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish (i) to the extent accurate, forthwith upon request, a written
statement of the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar
provision then in effect) and (ii) unless otherwise available via the Commission’s EDGAR filing system, to such Holder forthwith
upon request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed
as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell
any Registrable Securities without registration.


 


Section 2.10       
Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities
under this Article II may be transferred or assigned by each Holder to one or more transferees or assignees of Registrable
Securities; provided, however, that (a) unless any such transferee or assignee is an Affiliate of, and after such
transfer or assignment continues to be an Affiliate of, such Holder, the amount of Registrable Securities transferred or assigned
to such transferee or assignee shall represent at least $15 million of Registrable Securities, calculated on the basis of the
Issue Price or such lesser amount if it constitutes the remaining holdings of the Holder and its Affiliates, (b) the Company is
given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each such transferee or assignee
and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned and (c) each such
transferee or assignee assumes in writing responsibility for its portion of the obligations of such transferring Holder under
this Agreement.


 


Section 2.11       
Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date hereof, the Company shall not, without the
prior written consent of the Holders of at least the Registrable Securities Required Voting Percentage, enter into any agreement
with any current or future holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such current or future holder to require the
Company to include securities in any registration statement filed by the Company for Other Holders on a basis other than pari
passu with or expressly subordinate to the piggyback rights of the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder; provided,
that in no event shall the Company enter into any agreement that would permit another holder of securities of the Company to participate
on a superior or pari passu basis (in terms of priority of cut-back based on advice of Underwriters) with a Holder requesting
registration or takedown in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.03(a).


 






     


     


    

 


Section 2.12       
Sale Restrictions. Each Holder agrees not to publicly or privately sell, dispose of or distribute any shares of
Company Common Stock (including any shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of any derivative securities)
that are beneficially owned by such Holder, or issue (publicly or privately) any derivative securities whose value is based on
shares of Company Common Stock, until after the date that is six (6) months after the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, no Holder shall have the right
to publicly or privately sell, dispose of or distribute any shares of Company Common Stock (including any shares of Company Common
Stock issuable upon the conversion of any derivative securities), or issue (publicly or privately) any derivative securities whose
value is based on shares of Company Common Stock, prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date hereof.

such Persons or their respective permitted assignees under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection
herewith or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligation or its creation, except, in each case, for any

by JDH, such action shall be in such Holder’s sole discretion, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. If any provision
in this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, not binding or unenforceable, (a) such provision shall be fully severable and
this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, not binding or unenforceable provision had never comprised
a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and (b) the parties hereto shall
negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in
an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest
extent possible. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step
taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded. If the last
day of such period is not a Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day. Any words imparting
the singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa. The words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,”
“hereof” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such
words appear unless the context otherwise requires. The provision of a Table of Contents, the division of this Agreement into
Articles, Sections and other subdivisions and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect
or be utilized in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
