(b) Authorization
and Binding Obligation. The Company has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this
Agreement, the Exchange Shares and each of the other agreements and certificates entered into by the parties hereto in connection

principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to,
or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.


 


(c) No
Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.


 


(i) The

terms hereof or thereof. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations (which the Company is required to obtain
pursuant to the preceding sentence) have been obtained or effected, or will have been obtained or effected, on or prior to the
date hereof, and the Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances that might prevent the Company from

and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided,
that facsimile or PDF signature pages shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto

    5


     


    

 


8. Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the
broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without
material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or
unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations
of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s),
the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).


 


9. No
Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted
successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request
in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.


 


11. No
Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express
their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.


 


12. Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors
and assigns in accordance with the terms of the hereof.

The Shareholder and each Shareholder of the Exchange Shares shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Exchange Documents
and all rights and remedies which such Shareholders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all
of the rights which such Shareholders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall
be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any
breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes
that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy
at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Shareholder. The Company therefore agrees that the Shareholder shall be entitled
to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without
posting a bond or other security.


 


15. Survival.
The representations and warranties of the Company and the Shareholder contained herein and the agreements and covenants set forth

protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholder and all of its shareholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees
and direct or indirect Shareholders and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without
limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”),
as incurred, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities
and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which
indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements
(the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to
(a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Exchange Documents or any other
certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of
the Company contained in the Exchange Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby
or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes
a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance
or enforcement of the Exchange Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii)
the status of the Shareholder as a Shareholder of the Exchange Shares pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Exchange
Documents (unless such action, suit or claim is based upon a breach of such Shareholder’s representations, warranties or
covenants under this Agreement and the other Exchange Documents or any violations by Shareholder of state or federal securities
laws or any conduct by Shareholder that constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). To the extent
that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution
to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable under law.


 


17. Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Shareholder, the
Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf solely with respect to the Existing Shares, and this Agreement and
the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and
therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Shareholder makes any representation,
warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an
instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Shareholder. No provision hereof may be waived other than by an instrument
in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.
