REGISTRATIONS


 


2.1 Demand

2.1.1 Request
for Registration. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, at any time and from time to time
on or after the date the Company consummates the Business Combination, the Holders of at least fifteen percent (15%) of the
then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities (the “Demanding Holders”) may make a written demand for
Registration of all or part of their Registrable Securities, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities
to be included in such Registration and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof (such written demand a “Demand
Registration”). The Company shall, within ten (10) days of the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration,
notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who
thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand
Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration, a
“Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) days after the receipt by
the Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s)
to the Company, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant
to a Demand Registration and the Company shall effect, as soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than forty five (45) days
immediately after the Company’s receipt of the Demand Registration, the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested
by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration. Under no circumstances shall the Company be
obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three (3) Registrations pursuant to a Demand Registration under this subsection
2.1.1 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities; provided, however, that a Registration shall not be
counted for such purposes unless a Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration statement that may be available at such time
(“Form S-1”) has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Requesting
Holders to be registered on behalf of the Requesting Holders in such Form S-1 Registration have been sold, in accordance with Section
3.1 of this Agreement.


 


2.1.2 Effective
Registration. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 2.1.1 above or any other part of this Agreement, a
Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement
filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the
Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, further,
that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration
pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or
state court or any other governmental agency the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to
have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and
(ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue
with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days, of such election;
and provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement
until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration
becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.


 


2.1.3 Underwritten
Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.4 hereof, if a majority-in-interest of the
Demanding Holders so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities
pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or
Requesting Holder (if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s
participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten
Offering to the extent provided herein. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an
Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.1.3 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand
Registration.

2.1.4
Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a
Demand Registration, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the
dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken
together with all other Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and the Common Stock, if any, as to
which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders
who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering
without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering
(such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”),
then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders
and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and
Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities
that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Registration (such proportion is referred
to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second,
to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Registrable Securities of
Holders (Pro Rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has so requested) exercising their rights
to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of
Securities.

Registration pursuant to such Demand Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter
or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement
filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with
a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.5.

exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the
Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof),
other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange
offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible
into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed
filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated
filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such
offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such
offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable
Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback

and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable
Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms
and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of
such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute
their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement

has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has
been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds
the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has
not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant
to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum

Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the
Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection

can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities
has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of
other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such
persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration
for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or
its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission
with respect to such Piggyback Registration. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for
withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission
in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback
Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

the Company, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), register
the resale of any or all of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short form registration statement that may be available
at such time (“Form S-3”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect
such request through an Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt of a written request from a Holder
or Holders of Registrable Securities for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration
on Form S-3 to all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include
all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration on Form S-3 shall so notify the Company, in writing,
within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. As soon as practicable thereafter, but not more
than twelve (12) days after the Company’s initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall
register all or such portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such written request, together with all
or such portion of Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in the written notification
given by such Holder or Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration
pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof if (i) a Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) the Holders of Registrable Securities,
together with the Holders of any other equity securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the
Registrable Securities and such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $10,000,000.

good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of,
a Company initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand
Registration pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to cause
the applicable Registration Statement to become effective; (B) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and the Company
and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (C) in the good faith judgment
of the Board such Registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential
to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate
signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company
for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration
Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided,
however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12-month period.

to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it
is not then otherwise so subject;


 


3.1.5
cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed;


 


3.1.6
provide a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective
date of such Registration Statement;


 






    11


     


    

 


3.1.7
advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance
of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal
if such stop order should be issued;


 


3.1.8
at least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration
Statement, furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities and its counsel, including, without limitation, providing
copies promptly upon receipt of any comment letters received with respect to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus;


 


3.1.9
notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;


 


3.1.10
permit a representative of the Holders (such representative to be selected by a majority of the participating Holders), the
Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such
person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and
employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in
connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a
confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any
such information; and provided further, the Company may not include the name of any Holder or Underwriter or any information
regarding any Holder or Underwriter in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement to such Registration
Statement or Prospectus, any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any
response to any comment letter, without the prior written consent of such Holder or Underwriter and providing each such Holder or
Underwriter a reasonable amount of time to review and comment on such applicable document, which comments the Company shall include
unless contrary to applicable law;


 


3.1.11
obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten
Registration which the participating Holders may rely on, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered
by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest
of the participating Holders;


 


3.1.12
on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel
representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any,
and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being
given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions
and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders;


 






    12


     


    

 


3.1.13
in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary
form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;


 


3.1.14
make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve
(12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration
Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule
promulgated thereafter by the Commission);


 


3.1.15
if the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $25,000,000, use its reasonable
efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may
be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and


 


3.1.16
otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in
connection with such Registration.


 


3.2
Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the
Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’
commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration
Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.


 


3.3
Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities
of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s
securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.


 


3.4
Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus
contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until such Holder has
received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants
to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until such Holder is advised
in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration
Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion
in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control,
the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend
use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith
by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders
agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration
in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration
of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.


 






    13


     


    

 


3.5
Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting
company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace
period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that
it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder
to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including
providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly
authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION


 


4.1
Indemnification.


 


4.1.1
The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and
each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration
Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same
are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company
shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of
the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.


 



    14


     


    

 





4.1.2
In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish
to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration
Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each
person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue
statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein;
provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable
Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds
received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities
shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.


 


4.1.3
Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification
hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s
reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit
such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense
is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its
consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume
the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties
indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict
of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying
party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot
be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such
settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified
party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.


 


4.1.4
The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or
on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer
of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions
as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s
indemnification is unavailable for any reason.


 






    15


     


    

 


4.1.5
If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party,
in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of
such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party
and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information
supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the
liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder
in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities
referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3
above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to
in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

Prior to the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-up Period or the Private Placement Lock-up Period, as the case may be, no Holder may
assign or delegate such Holder’s rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, except in connection

and the permitted assigns of the Holders, which shall include Permitted Transferees.

the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in such Holder’s capacity as a holder
of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall
require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any
failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement
by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision) under the Securities Act with no volume or other restrictions or limitations. The provisions
of Section 3.5 and Article IV shall survive any termination.
