and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of Stockholder under this Agreement. Stockholder shall take

and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) the parties hereto seeking such remedy has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an
award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

This Agreement constitutes
the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof
