other disposition of the Registrable Securities (a “Shelf Registration”).


 


2.1.2 Effective
Registration. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective by
the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after the initial filing of the Registration Statement. Subject to the limitations
contained in this Agreement, the Company shall effect any Shelf Registration on such appropriate registration form of the Commission
(a) as shall be selected by the Company and (b) as shall permit the resale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities
by the Holders. If at any time a Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 2.1.1 is effective
and a Holder provides written notice to the Company that it intends to effect an offering of all or part of the Registrable Securities
included on such Registration Statement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to amend or supplement such Registration
Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such offering to take place in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


2.1.3 Underwritten
Offering. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.1.4 and Section 2.3 hereof, any Demanding Holder
may make a written demand for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in accordance
with Section 2.1.1 (an “Underwritten Demand”). The Company shall, within five (5) business days
of the Company’s receipt of the Underwritten Demand, notify, in writing, all other Holders of such demand, and each Holder
who thereafter requests to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering
pursuant to such Underwritten Demand (each such Holder that requests to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities in such Underwritten Offering, a “Requesting Holder”) shall so notify the Company, in writing,
within two (2) days (one (1) day if such offering is an overnight or bought Underwritten Offering) 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),
such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Offering pursuant
to such Underwritten Demand. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such 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 Demanding Holders initiating such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company is not obligated to effect more than an aggregate of three (3) Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this subsection 2.1.3
and is not obligated to effect an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this subsection 2.1.3 within ninety (90) days after
the closing of an Underwritten Offering.


 






    5


     


    

 


2.1.4 Reduction
of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten
Demand, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders, the Requesting Holders and other persons or entities holding
Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of the Company that the Company is obligated to include pursuant to separate written
contractual arrangements with such persons or entities (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities
or other equity securities of the Company requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the maximum dollar amount
or maximum number of equity securities of the Company 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: (a) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding
Holders (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included
in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders have requested be included
in such Underwritten Offering (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold
without exceeding the Maximum Number of 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 the Requesting Holders, Pro Rata, which
can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities
has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of
the Company that the Company desires to sell and that 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)

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


 


2.2 Piggyback
Registration.


 


2.2.1 Piggyback
Rights. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2.2 and Section 2.3 hereof, if, at any time on or
after the date the Company consummates a Business Combination, the Company proposes to consummate an Underwritten Offering for
its own account or for the account of shareholders of the Company, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed
action to all of the Holders as soon as practicable, which notice shall (a) describe the amount and type of securities to
be included, the intended method(s) of distribution and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any,
and (b) offer to all of the Holders the opportunity to include of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may
request in writing within two (2) days (unless such offering is an overnight or bought Underwritten Offering, then one (1) day),
in each case after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”). The
Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its
reasonable 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 Piggyback Registration and to permit the
resale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All
such Holders proposing to include Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall
enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company.

in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares or equity securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell, taken
together with (a) the shares or equity securities of the Company, if any, as to which the Underwritten Offering has been demanded
pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities
hereunder, (b) the Registrable Securities as to which a Piggyback Registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2
hereof and (c) the shares or equity securities of the Company, if any, as to which inclusion in the Underwritten Offering
has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration rights of other shareholders of the Company,
exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:


 


(i) If
the Underwritten Offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Underwritten Offering
(A) first, the Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of the Company that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold
without exceeding the Maximum Number of 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 requesting a Piggyback Registration
pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, Pro Rata, which 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), Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of the Company, if any, as to which inclusion in the Underwritten
Offering has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of other shareholders of the Company,
which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; or


 


(ii) If
the Underwritten Offering is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then
the Company shall include in any such Underwritten Offering (A) first, Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of the Company,
if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number
of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A),

to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B)
and (C), Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of the Company 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.


 


2.2.3 Piggyback
Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder 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 commencement of the Underwritten Offering. 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.


 






    7


     


    

 


2.2.4 Unlimited
Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration or Underwritten Offering effected pursuant to Section 2.2
hereof shall not be counted as an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand effected under Section 2.1
hereof.


 


2.3 Restrictions
on Registration Rights. If (a) the Holders have requested an Underwritten
Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters
to firmly underwrite the offer; or (b) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand
and in the good faith judgment of the Board such Underwritten Offering would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board
concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the undertaking of such Underwritten Offering 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 to undertake such Underwritten Offering in the near future and that
it is therefore essential to defer the undertaking of such Underwritten Offering. In such event, the Company shall have the right
to defer such offering 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 twelve (12)-month period.

3.2 Registration
Expenses. The
Registration Expenses in respect 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’

the Holders.


 


3.3 Requirements
for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person or
entity may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated

supplemented or amended Registration Statement or 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
he, she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Registration Statement or Prospectus may be resumed. If
the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration or Underwritten
Offering 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
sentences in this Section 3.4, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notices referred
to in this Section 3.4, their use of the Registration Statement or Prospectus in connection with any resale or other
disposition of 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.


 


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 Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
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 resell or otherwise dispose of Registrable Securities 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.

Article 4

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, directors, employees,
advisors, agents, representatives, members and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act)
(collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Persons”) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and inclusive of all reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement
of each such persons’ rights under this Section 4.1) resulting from any Misstatement, except insofar as the same
are caused by or contained or included in any information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified
Person specifically for use therein.


 


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, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company,
its officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents, representatives and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning
of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and inclusive of all reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement of each such persons’ rights under this
Section 4.1) resulting from any Misstatement, but only to the extent that the same are made in reliance on and in conformity
with information relating to the Holder so furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for
use therein. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the net proceeds received
by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification
obligation.


 


4.1.3 Any
person entitled to indemnification herein shall (a) 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 (b) 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 or there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different
from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, 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 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.


 






    12


     


    

 


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, employee, advisor, agent, representative, member or controlling
person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.


 


4.1.5 If
the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to 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 to the extent permitted by law 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 a court of law by reference to, among
other things, whether the Misstatement relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or such 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.

Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and its successors.

in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any
of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing,
any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects any Holder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a holder of the
shares of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent
of each such 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.


 


5.6 Other
Registration Rights. The
Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder, has any right to require the Company to register any securities
of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration by the Company for the sale of securities
for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes
any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between
any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.


 


5.7 Term.
