  WHEREAS, each of the parties wishes to set forth in this Agreement certain terms and conditions regarding, among other things, Investor’s ownership of the Warrant and Warrant Shares (each as defined below), as applicable.

  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as set forth herein.

  Article I

WARRANT ISSUANCE; CLOSING

  1.1	Warrant Issuance.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall issue to Investor, and Investor shall acquire from the Company, at the Closing, a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 25,250,616 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), subject to adjustment in accordance with its terms, in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Warrant”).  The issuance of the Warrant by the Company and the acquisition of the Warrant by Investor are referred to herein as the “Warrant Issuance”.

  1.2	Closing.  The closing of the Warrant Issuance (the “Closing”) shall take place by the exchange and delivery of signatures and relevant documents by email and .pdf transmission immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement.  At the Closing, the Company shall (i) deliver to FedEx the Warrant, as evidenced by a duly and validly executed warrant certificate dated as of the date hereof and bearing appropriate legends as hereinafter provided for and (ii) provide an opinion of counsel, subject to any assumptions deemed 

  -1-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  necessary by such counsel, that the issuance of the Warrant Shares to Investor pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrant does not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that the Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 

  1.3	Interpretation.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to “Recitals,” “Articles,” “Sections,” “Annexes,” “Schedules” or “Exhibits” such reference shall be to a Recital, Article or Section of, or Annex, Schedule or Exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  The terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa.  References to “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and the like refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or provision, unless the context requires otherwise.  References to parties refer to the parties to this Agreement.  The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement.  Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed followed by the words “without limitation.”  No rule of construction against the draftsperson shall be applied in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, as this Agreement is the product of negotiation between sophisticated parties advised by counsel.  Any reference to a wholly owned subsidiary of a person shall mean such subsidiary is directly or indirectly wholly owned by such person.  All references to “$” or “dollars” mean the lawful currency of the United States of America.  Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, all references to any statute, rule or regulation are to the statute, rule or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time (and, in the case of statutes, include any rules and regulations promulgated under the statute) and to any section of any statute, rule or regulation include any successor to the section.  The term “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday, a Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in the State of New York are authorized or required by Applicable Law to be closed.  With respect to the Warrant and Warrant Shares, such term shall include any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company received by Investor as a result of any stock split, stock dividend or distribution, other subdivision, reorganization, reclassification or similar capital transaction.

  -2-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  combination, be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there has been, is or would be, a Material Adverse Effect to the extent resulting from: (A) any change in general economic, market or political conditions; (B) any change in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) or other accounting standards or interpretations thereof, or any change in Applicable Law to the extent such change is generally applicable and not specifically directed at the Company or its subsidiaries; (C) any actual or threatened act of war (whether or not declared), armed hostilities, sabotage or terrorism, or any actual or threatened material escalation or worsening of any such events, or any national disaster or any national or international calamity; (D) any failure, in and of itself, to meet internal or published projections, forecasts, targets or revenue or earnings predictions for any period, as well as any change, in and of itself, by the Company in any projections, forecasts, targets or revenue or earnings predictions for any period (provided that the underlying causes of such failures (to the extent not otherwise falling within one of the other exceptions in this proviso) may constitute or be taken into account in determining whether there has been, is, or would be, a Material Adverse Effect); (E) any change in the price or trading volume of the Common Stock (provided that the underlying causes of such change (to the extent not otherwise falling within one of the other exceptions in this proviso) may constitute or be taken into account in determining whether there has been, is, or would be, a Material Adverse Effect); (F) the announcement, pendency, disclosure or completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (G) any changes in financial, banking or securities markets in general, including any disruption thereof or any change in prevailing interest rates; or (H) any epidemics, pandemics, disease outbreaks, or other public health emergencies; provided, further, however, that any Effect referred to in clauses (A) through (C), (G) and (H) may be taken into account in determining whether or not there has been, is, or would be, a Material Adverse Effect to the extent such Effect has a disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared to other similarly situated participants in the industry in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate.

  (b)	“Previously Disclosed” means information set forth, or incorporated or deemed incorporated in (i) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and/or (ii) the Company’s other reports, statements and forms (including exhibits and other information incorporated therein) filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under Sections 13(a), 14(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in each case after December 31, 2021 ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “SEC Reports”), to the extent such SEC Reports are filed or furnished at least two (2) Business Days prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or Investor agrees in writing that information included in an SEC Report filed or furnished within two (2) Business Days prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement may be considered Previously Disclosed.

Investor acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to conduct such review and analysis of the business, assets, condition, operations and prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, including an opportunity to ask such questions of management and to review such information maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries, in each case as it considers sufficient for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

COVENANTS

  3.1	Efforts.

  (a)	Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including the remainder of this Section 3.1) and the other Transaction Documents, each party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or desirable under Applicable Law to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the parties shall (i) subject to the provisions of this Section 3.1, including Section 3.1(d), use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable (as determined in good faith by Investor after consultation with the Company in accordance with the first sentence of Section 3.1(d)) all exemptions, authorizations, consents or approvals from, and to make all filings with and to give all notices to, all third parties, including any Governmental Entities, required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include providing, as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable, such information to any Governmental Entity as such Governmental Entity may request in connection therewith, and (ii) cooperate fully with the other party in promptly seeking to obtain all such exemptions, authorizations, consents or approvals and to make all such filings and give such notices.

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  Warrant Shares (the “Initial Filing Transaction”) (the filings, requests and notices described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Initial Antitrust Filings”). Investor shall be responsible for payment of all filing fees associated with the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws. In addition, following the receipt of the Initial Antitrust Clearance, to the extent required by Applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Antitrust Law) in connection with any further issuance of Warrant Shares (in each case, whether in full or in part), the parties shall file, make or give, as applicable, as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable (as determined in good faith by Investor after consultation with the Company in accordance with the first sentence of Section 3.1(d)), any further required filings, requests or notices required under any Antitrust Laws, including the HSR Act.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party shall supply as promptly as reasonably practicable to the appropriate Governmental Entities any information and documentary material that may be required pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, the Warrant Shares shall not be issued unless (i) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act has expired or been terminated and (ii) no law has been promulgated and no order has been entered by any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction that remains in effect and restrains or prohibits the relevant exercise of the Warrant.

  (c)	Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including the remainder of this Section 3.1) and the other Transaction Documents, and only to the extent required under the Antitrust Laws, each of the parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Laws that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity, so as to enable the parties to give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, nothing in this Section 3.1 shall require, or be construed to require, any party or any of its Affiliates to agree to (and no party or any of its Affiliates shall agree to, without the prior written consent of the other parties):  (i) sell, hold separate, divest, discontinue or limit (or any conditions relating to, or changes or restrictions in, the operation of) any assets, businesses or interests of it or its Affiliates (irrespective of whether or not such assets, businesses or interests are related to, are the subject matter of or could be affected by the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents); (ii) without limiting clause (i) in any respect, any conditions relating to, or changes or restrictions in, the operations of any such assets, businesses or interests that would reasonably be expected to adversely impact (x) the business of, or the financial, business or strategic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents to it or its Affiliates, or (y) any other assets, businesses or interests of it or its Affiliates; or (iii) without limiting clause (i) in any respect, any modification or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents that 

  -12-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  would reasonably be expected to adversely impact (x) the business of, or financial, business or strategic benefits of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents to it or its Affiliates, or (y) any other assets, businesses or interests of it or its Affiliates.

  (d)	Investor shall have the principal responsibility for devising and implementing the strategy (including with respect to the timing of filings) for obtaining any exemptions, authorizations, consents or approvals required under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Transaction Documents; provided, however, that Investor shall consult in advance with the Company and in good faith take the Company’s views into account regarding the overall antitrust strategy.  Each of the parties shall promptly notify the other party of, and if in writing furnish the other with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the other of), any substantive communication that it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Entity, whether written or oral, relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and, to the extent reasonably practicable, permit the other party to review in advance any proposed substantive written communication by such party to any Governmental Entity and consider in good faith the other party’s reasonable comments on any such proposed substantive written communications prior to their submission.  No party shall, and each party shall cause its Affiliates not to, participate or agree to participate in any substantive meeting or communication with any Governmental Entity in respect of the subject matter of the Transaction Documents, including on a “no names” or hypothetical basis, unless (to the extent practicable) it or they consult with the other party in advance and, to the extent practicable and permitted by such Governmental Entity, give the other party the opportunity to jointly prepare for, attend and participate in such meeting or communication.  The parties shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the matters described in this Section 3.1, including (x) furnishing to each other all information reasonably requested to determine the jurisdictions in which a filing or submission under any Antitrust Law is required or advisable, (y) furnishing to each other all information required for any filing or submission under any Antitrust Law and (z) keeping each other reasonably informed with respect to the status of each exemption, authorization, consent, approval, filing and notice under any Antitrust Law, in each case, in connection with the matters that are the subject of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.  The parties shall provide each other with copies of all substantive correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their Affiliates or Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity or members of its staff, on the other hand, relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; provided that such material may be redacted as necessary to (1) comply with contractual arrangements, (2) address good faith legal privilege or confidentiality concerns and (3) comply with Applicable Law.

  (e)	Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including in this Section 3.1, in the event that any arbitral, administrative, judicial or analogous action, claim or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or any other party challenging the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents (“Transaction Litigation”), neither party shall be required to contest and resist any 

  -13-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  such Transaction Litigation or to seek to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation or implementation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents.  Each party shall keep the other party reasonably informed with respect to any Transaction Litigation unless doing so would reasonably be likely to jeopardize any privilege of such party regarding any such Transaction Litigation (subject to such party using commercially reasonable efforts to, and cooperating in good faith with the other party in, developing and implementing reasonable alternative arrangements to provide such other party with such information).  Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, each party shall promptly advise the other party orally and in writing in connection with, and shall consult with each other with respect to, any Transaction Litigation and shall in good faith give consideration to each other’s advice with respect to such Transaction Litigation.

  (f)	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after the earlier of (i) the exercise of the Warrant in full and (ii) the expiration, termination or cancellation of the Warrant without the Warrant having been exercised in full, no party shall have any further obligations under this Section 3.1; provided, that this Section 3.1(f) shall in no way relieve any party with respect to any breach by such party of this Section 3.1 prior to such time.

  3.2	Public Announcements.

  (a)	Without the other party’s prior written approval, neither party shall (a) refer to its relationship with the other party under this Agreement in commercials, other advertising or publications; (b) use the other Party’s name in promotional materials; or (c) release any press releases or other information releases pertaining to this Agreement.  Except as set forth in this Section 3.2, neither party shall be limited in making such filings and providing such disclosures as may be required by Applicable Law or regulation or any rules of any exchange on which the securities of such party are being traded. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company and Investor shall have the right to make disclosures provided for in the communications plan agreed by the Parties (the “Communications Plan”), including an initial press release and filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K, subject to the format, manner, coordination and timing requirements provided in the Communications Plan.

  (b)	If any announcement or filing is required by Applicable Law, regulation, rules of any securities exchange or valid court order to be made by either party (each, a “Required Disclosure”), prior to making such announcement or filing such party will give prompt written notice (to the extent possible, at least five (5) business days’ notice, unless any Applicable Law, regulation, or rules of any securities exchange requires an announcement or filing within a shorter period of time, in which case the Company will provide notice within that period of time, to the extent possible) to the other party and give such party a reasonable opportunity to take whatever action it deems necessary to protect its Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement), including all information about any terms of agreements between the parties hereto, including the Transaction Documents, the status or content of any services, economic milestones, ownership stakes, or other rights, obligations or 

  -14-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  activities pursuant to such agreements, including the existence of such agreements. In the event that no protective order or other remedy is obtained, or the applicable party waives compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the other party shall furnish only that portion of Confidential Information which such party is advised by counsel (in-house or external) is legally required to be disclosed.  If and as requested by the other party, the disclosing party shall take all requested actions to request confidential treatment by the Commission and further agrees to review and take into consideration the other party’s opinions on disclosure requirements related to services or the Transaction Documents in good faith. If confidential treatment is requested by a party, the other party will promptly deliver to the requesting party any written correspondence received by it or its representatives from such governmental authority with respect to such confidential treatment request and promptly advise such party of any other material communications between it or its representatives with such governmental authority with respect to such confidential treatment request. Further, if such governmental authority requests any changes to the redactions set forth in any redacted agreements, the applicable party will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with applicable laws to support the redactions originally filed and not agree to any changes to such redactions without, to the extent practical, first discussing such changes with the other party and taking the other party’s comments into consideration when deciding whether to agree to such changes.

  (c)	The Company represents that it has been advised by its counsel, based on facts and circumstances currently known to the Company and its counsel, that the agreed public disclosures included in the Communications Plan include all Required Disclosures resulting from the parties hereto entering into this Agreement and the other agreements described in the Communications Plan, and that the agreed public disclosures in the Communications Plan satisfy the public disclosure requirements applicable to the Company.

  (d)	Notwithstanding anything in Section 8.1 of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Sections 3.2(a) and (b) will survive for so long as the Master Professional Services Agreement and the Master Purchase Agreement have not been terminated.

  3.3	Expenses.  Unless otherwise provided in any Transaction Document, each of the parties shall bear and pay all costs and expenses incurred by it or on its behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents, including fees and expenses of its own financial or other consultants, investment bankers, accountants and counsel.

  3.4	Tax Treatment.  Investor and the Company agree to treat the Warrant Issuance (i) as a closed, taxable transaction occurring on the date of the Warrant Issuance, rather than as an open transaction, for U.S. tax purposes, and (ii) not as a transaction in connection with the performance of services within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code. Neither Investor nor the Company shall take any position for tax purposes that is inconsistent with the foregoing, unless required by Applicable Law.

  (iv)	by Investor or any of its Representatives to the extent that Investor or such Representative has been advised by its counsel that such disclosure is required to be made by it under Applicable Law or by a Governmental Entity; provided, that prior to making such disclosure, such Person uses commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, including, to the not prohibited by Applicable Law, consulting with the Company regarding such disclosure and, if reasonably requested by the Company, assisting the Company, at the Company’s expense, in seeking a protective order to prevent the 

  -20-

  requested disclosure; provided, further, that Investor or such Representative, as the case may be, only discloses that portion of the Confidential Information as is required by the applicable Governmental Entity or as is, based on the advice of its counsel, legally required or compelled; and provided, further, that the parties hereto expressly agree that notwithstanding anything in the Confidentiality Agreement or any other confidentiality agreement between or among the Company, Investor or its Affiliates or Representatives, to the contrary, any Confidential Information that is permitted to be disclosed or used in any manner pursuant to this Agreement can be so disclosed or used. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor or its Representatives, as the case may be, may only disclose Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 5.1(d)(iv) if the request or requirement for such disclosure does not arise from, is not in connection with, and/or is not related to, a breach of Section 5.3 hereof.

  ACTIVE/117762661.12

  (iii)	call, or seek to call, a meeting of the stockholders of the Company or initiate any stockholder proposal for action by stockholders of the Company;

  (iv)	nominate or seek to nominate any person to the Board;

  (D)	Equity Securities of the Company held by a Person acquired by Investor or its Affiliates; provided that such Equity Securities of the Company were acquired by such acquired Person prior to it entering into an agreement with Investor to be acquired and not in contemplation of, or in connection with, Investor’s  acquisition of such Person.

  (vii)	take any action that would reasonably be expected to require the Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the events described above;

  (viii)	enter into any agreements or arrangements with any other Persons in connection with the foregoing; or

  -22-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  solely of Investor and/or any of its Affiliates), with respect to any Voting Securities or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing.

  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.3 shall not prohibit Investor from exercising any rights or taking any action under Section 5.4, the Master Professional Services Agreement or the Master Purchase Agreement, or any other commercial agreement among Investor, Company and/or their respective Affiliates, and any act of any employees, officers,

  directors, or other agents and representatives of Investor or any of its Affiliates shall not violate this Section 5.3 if such act is not approved or directed by Investor or its Affiliates or otherwise intended to constitute an act on behalf of Investor or any of its Affiliates.      

   

  (b)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, including Section 5.3(a) hereof, Investor shall not be prohibited or restricted from making and submitting to the Company and/or the Board, any Acquisition Proposal that is not intended to require the Company to disclose such proposal, or any confidential request for the Company and/or the Board to waive, amend or provide a release of any provision of this Section 5.3 (whether or not in connection with such Acquisition Proposal); provided that any such Acquisition Proposal and/or confidential request shall by its terms terminate if it is publicly disclosed or announced by Investor (except in the event that such public disclosure is required by Applicable Law) without the prior approval of the Board.  If the Company (through the Board or otherwise) shall have commenced a process to solicit Acquisition Proposals from third parties, then the Company will promptly notify Investor of such determination and any information provided to Investor in connection with such notice, including, without limitation, the fact that the Company has provided such notice to Investor, shall be kept confidential by Investor, except to the extent information is permitted to be disclosed or used by Section 5.1(d).

  (c)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall become void and of no further force and effect upon (i) the public announcement by the Company that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a Person other than Investor or any of its Affiliates for a transaction involving a Business Combination or (ii) if any Person other than Investor or any of its Affiliates commences a tender or exchange offer which, if consummated, would constitute a Business Combination; provided, however, that with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence, Investor shall not have materially breached any of the provisions of this Section 5.3.

  (d)	An “Investor Standstill Termination Event” shall be deemed to occur on the earlier of (i) the five-year anniversary of this Agreement and (ii) the date that the Investor, or any permitted transferee thereof, exercises the Warrant in its entirety.

  5.4	Voting Obligation.  At all times during the Standstill Period, Investor shall be entitled to vote (including, if applicable, through the execution of one or more written consents if stockholders of the Company are requested to vote through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company) the shares of Common Stock owned by it or its Affiliates or over which it or its Affiliates have the ability to vote, up to 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Voting 

  -23-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  Threshold”), in its sole and absolute discretion; provided that if at any time Investor and its Affiliates collectively have the ability to vote more than 4.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, then in connection with each meeting of the Company’s stockholders Investor shall cause all of the shares of Common Stock in excess of the Voting Threshold owned by it or any of its Affiliates or over which it or any of its Affiliates have the ability to vote to be present for purposes of determining quorum at such meeting.  At all times during the Standstill Period, Investor shall cause the shares of Common Stock owned by it or any of its Affiliates or over which it or any of its Affiliates have the ability to vote in excess of the Voting Threshold to be voted (including, if applicable, through the execution of one or more written consents if stockholders of the Company are requested to vote through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company) in accordance with the recommendation of the Board, including without limitation, in favor of all those persons nominated to serve as directors of the Company by the Board or its Nominating and Governance Committee. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.4 shall in any way limit or restrict or require Investor to vote or appear to vote up to 4.9% of the Common Stock and notwithstanding the requirements of this Section 5.4, Investor’s voting rights for amounts in excess of the Voting Threshold shall not be restricted or limited in any way with respect to matters with any bearing on its commercial interests or the interests of any of its Affiliates, as determined in the sole discretion of Investor.

  5.5	Survival.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, this Article V (other than Section 5.3) shall survive termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, and will continue until the date that the Beneficial Ownership of Investor and its Affiliates, in the aggregate, of the Common Stock is less than two percent (2%), on a “fully diluted basis”; provided, that Section 5.2 shall survive with respect to the taxable year in which such date occurs, and further provided that this Article V shall again become applicable and continue to survive if the Beneficial Ownership of Investor and its Affiliates, in the aggregate, of the Common Stock is equal to or more than two percent (2%), on a “fully diluted basis,” as a result of the issuance of additional Warrant Shares.

   

  Article VI

  REGISTRATION 

  6.1	Demand Registrations.

  (a)	Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, solely during any period that begins on or after January 28, 2023 and during which the Company is then ineligible under Applicable Law to register Registrable Securities on a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto (“Form S-3”), or during which the Company is so eligible but has failed to comply with its obligations under Section 6.2, any Demand Shareholders (“Requesting Shareholders”) shall be entitled to make no more than three (3) written requests of the Company (each, a “Demand”) for registration under the Securities Act of an amount of Registrable Securities then held by such Requesting Shareholders that equals or is greater than the Registrable Amount (a “Demand Registration” and such registration statement, a “Demand Registration Statement”). Thereupon, the Company shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, 

  -24-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  use commercially reasonable efforts to file the registration statement no later than 30 days after receipt of a Demand and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration as promptly as practicable under the Securities Act of:

  (i)	the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting Shareholders for disposition in accordance with the intended method of disposition stated in such Demand;

  (ii)	all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register pursuant to Section 6.1(b), but subject to Section 6.1(g); and

  (iii)	all shares of Common Stock which the Company may elect to register in connection with any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6.1, but subject to Section 6.1(g);

  all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities and the additional shares of Common Stock, if any, to be so registered.

  (b)	A Demand shall specify:  (i) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Demand Registration, (ii) the intended method of disposition in connection with such Demand Registration, to the extent then known, and (iii) the identity of the Requesting Shareholder(s).  Within five (5) days after receipt of a Demand, the Company shall give written notice of such Demand to all other holders of Registrable Securities.  The Company shall include in the Demand Registration covered by such Demand all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein within five (5) days after the Company’s notice required by this paragraph has been given, provided that if such five (5) day period ends on a day that is not a Business Day, such period shall be deemed to end on the next succeeding Business Day.  Each such written request shall comply with the requirements of a Demand as set forth in this Section 6.1(b).

  (c)	A Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have been effected (i) unless the Demand Registration Statement with respect thereto has become effective and has remained effective for a period of at least one hundred five (105) days or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration have actually been sold or otherwise disposed of thereunder (provided, that such period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the holders of Registrable Securities refrain from selling any securities included in such registration statement at the request of the Company or the lead managing underwriter(s) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (ii) if, after it has become effective, such Demand Registration becomes subject, prior to one hundred five (105) days after effectiveness, to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other Governmental Entity, other than by reason of any act or omission by the applicable Selling Shareholders.

  (d)	Demand Registrations shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Requesting Shareholders.

  -25-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  (e)	The Company shall not be obligated to (i) subject to Section 6.1(c), maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act filed pursuant to a Demand Registration for a period longer than one hundred five (105) days or (ii) effect any Demand Registration (A) within ninety (90) days of the completion of any other Demand Registration, (B) while the Company is in the process of undertaking any Underwritten Offering by the Company, (C) within ninety (90) days of the completion of any other Underwritten Offering by the Company or any shorter period during which the Company has agreed not to effect a registration or public offering of securities (in each case only to the extent that the Company has undertaken contractually to the underwriters of such Underwritten Offering not to effect any registration or public offering of securities), (D) if, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, it is not feasible for the Company to proceed with the Demand Registration because of the unavailability of audited or other required financial statements of the Company or any other Person; provided, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such financial statements as promptly as practicable.

  (f)	The Company shall be entitled to (i) postpone (upon written notice to the Demand Shareholders) the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for any Demand Registration, (ii) cause any Demand Registration Statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated and (iii) suspend the use of the prospectus forming the part of any registration statement, in each case in the event of a Blackout Period until the expiration of the applicable Blackout Period.  In the event of a Blackout Period under clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the Company shall deliver to the Demand Shareholders requesting registration a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company certifying that, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the conditions described in clause (ii) of the definition of Blackout Period are met.  Such certificate shall contain an approximation of the anticipated delay.  Upon notice by the Company to the Demand Shareholders of any such determination, each Demand Shareholder covenants that, subject to Applicable Law, it shall keep the fact of any such notice strictly confidential, and, in the case of a Blackout Period pursuant to clause (ii)(y) of the definition of Blackout Period, promptly halt any offer, sale, trading or other Transfer by it or any of its Affiliates of any Registrable Securities for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company) and promptly halt any use, publication, dissemination or distribution of the Demand Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein, and any amendment or supplement thereto by it and any of its Affiliates for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company) and, if so directed in writing by the Company, will deliver to the Company any copies then in the Demand Shareholder’s possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that was in effect at the time of receipt of such notice.

  (g)	If, in connection with a Demand Registration that involves an Underwritten Offering, the lead managing underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company that, in its (their) good faith opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities sought to be registered in connection with such Demand Registration would adversely affect the success thereof, then the Company shall include in such registration statement only such securities as the Company is advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such adverse effect as follows and in the following order of priority:  (i) first, up to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in 

  -26-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  such Demand Registration by the Demand Shareholders, which, in the opinion of the lead managing underwriter(s), can be sold without adversely affecting the success thereof, pro rata among such Demand Shareholders on the basis of the number of such Registrable Securities requested to be included by such Demand Shareholders; and (ii) second, all other securities of the Company duly requested to be included in such registration statement, pro rata on the basis of the amount of such other securities requested to be included or such other allocation method determined by the Company.  

  (h)	Any time that a Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering by the Requesting Shareholders, the Requesting Shareholder(s) shall select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) that will serve as managing underwriters (including which such managing underwriters will serve as lead or co-lead) and underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities; provided, that such investment banker(s) and manager(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

  6.2	Shelf Registration Statement.

  (a)	Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and further subject to the availability of Form S-3 to the Company, the  Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any case, within 30 days of the later of the date of this Agreement and the date that the Company is eligible to register Registrable Securities on a registration statement on Form S-3, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing date, a Form S-3, providing for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an amount of Registrable Securities equal to the Warrant Shares (the “Shelf Registration Statement”).  With respect to such Shelf Registration Statement, the Investor shall be deemed to be the Demand Shareholder.  To the extent the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), the Company shall file the Shelf Registration Statement in the form of an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) or any successor form thereto.  If registering a number of Registrable Securities, the Company shall pay the registration fee for all Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to an automatic shelf registration statement at the time of filing of the automatic shelf registration statement and shall not elect to pay any portion of the registration fee on a deferred basis.  The Company may also amend an existing registration statement on Form S-3, including by post-effective amendment, in order to fulfill its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not file a Shelf Registration Statement if it receives a request from Investor in writing prior to filing the same requesting that the Company not file the Shelf Registration Statement. The Company will thereafter not be required to file the Shelf Registration Statement until the Company receives a written request from Investor, in which case the Company will proceed to file the Shelf Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable and subject to the terms of this Agreement. 

  (b)	Subject to Section 6.2(d), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold 

  -27-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  thereunder in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, or otherwise cease to be Registrable Securities.  

  (c)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities who elected to participate in the Shelf Registration Statement, to require such holders of Registrable Securities to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement during any Blackout Period.  In the event of a Blackout Period under clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the Company shall deliver to the Demand Shareholders requesting registration a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company certifying that, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the conditions described in clause (ii) of the definition of Blackout Period are met.  Such certificate shall contain an approximation of the anticipated delay.  Upon notice by the Company to the Demand Shareholders of any such determination, each Demand Shareholder covenants that it shall, subject to Applicable Law, keep the fact of any such notice strictly confidential, and, in the case of a Blackout Period pursuant to clause (ii)(y) of the definition of Blackout Period, promptly halt any offer, sale, trading or other Transfer by it or any of its Affiliates of any Registrable Securities for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company) and promptly halt any use, publication, dissemination or distribution of the Shelf Registration Statement, each prospectus included therein, and any amendment or supplement thereto by it and any of its Affiliates for the duration of the Blackout Period set forth in such notice (or until such Blackout Period shall be earlier terminated in writing by the Company) and, if so directed in writing by the Company, will deliver to the Company any copies then in the Demand Shareholder’s possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that was in effect at the time of receipt of such notice.

  (d)	After the expiration of any Blackout Period and without any further request from a holder of Registrable Securities, the Company, to the extent necessary, shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

  (e)	At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if any Demand Shareholder delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to sell all of part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Offering”), then the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering.  

  Such proposing Demand Shareholder(s) shall also deliver the Take-Down Notice to all other Demand Shareholders included on the Shelf Registration Statement and permit each such holder to include its Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration Statement in 

  -28-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  the Shelf Offering if such holder notifies the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) and the Company within two (2) Business Days after delivery of the Take-Down Notice to such holder.

  If the lead managing underwriter(s) advises the Company and the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) that, in its opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities sought to be sold in connection with such Shelf Offering would materially and adversely affect the success thereof, then there shall be included in such Shelf Offering only such securities as the proposing Demand Shareholder(s) is advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such adverse effect, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated in the same manner as described in Section 6.1(g).  Except as otherwise expressly specified in this Section 6.2, any Shelf Offering shall be subject to the same requirements, limitations and other provisions of this Article VI as would be applicable to a Demand Registration (i.e., as if such Shelf Offering were a Demand Registration), including Section 6.1(e)(ii) and Section 6.1(g).

  (f)	Any time that a Shelf Offering involves an Underwritten Offering, the Requesting Shareholder(s) shall select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) that will serve as managing underwriters (including which such managing underwriters will serve as lead or co-lead) and underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities; provided, that such investment banker(s) and manager(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

  6.3	Withdrawal Rights.  Any holder of Registrable Securities having notified or directed the Company to include any or all of its Registrable Securities in a registration statement under the Securities Act shall have the right to withdraw any such notice or direction with respect to any or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration by giving written notice to such effect to the Company prior to the effective date of such registration statement.  In the event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable registration and such Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities for all purposes of this Agreement (subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement).  No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn; provided, however, that in the case of a Demand Registration, if such withdrawal shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included in such registration below the Registrable Amount, then the Company shall as promptly as practicable give each Demand Shareholder seeking to register Registrable Securities notice to such effect and, within five (5) days following the mailing of such notice, such Demand Shareholder still seeking registration shall, by written notice to the Company, elect to register additional Registrable Securities to satisfy the Registrable Amount or elect that such registration statement not be filed or, if theretofore filed, be withdrawn.  During such five (5) day period, the Company shall not file such registration statement if not theretofore filed or, if such registration statement has been theretofore filed, the Company shall not seek, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent, the effectiveness thereof.

  6.4	Holdback Agreements.

  (a)	Investor shall enter into customary agreements restricting the sale or distribution of Equity Securities of the Company (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to the extent required by the lead managing underwriter(s) with 

  -29-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  respect to an applicable Underwritten Offering in which Investor participates during the period commencing on the date of the request (which shall be no earlier than fourteen (14) days prior to the expected “pricing” of such Underwritten Offering) and continuing for not more than ninety (90) days after the date of the “final” prospectus (or “final” prospectus supplement if the Underwritten Offering is made pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement), pursuant to which such Underwritten Offering shall be made.  The Company shall not include Registrable Securities of any other Demand Shareholder in such an Underwritten Offering unless such other Demand Shareholder enters into a customary agreement restricting the sale or distribution of Equity Securities of the Company (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) if requested by the lead managing underwriter(s).

  (b)	If any Demand Registration or Shelf Offering involves an Underwritten Offering, the Company will not affect any sale or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock) (other than a registration statement on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto) for its own account, within sixty (60) days (plus an extension period as may be proposed by the lead managing underwriter(s) for such Underwritten Offering to address FINRA regulations regarding the publication of research, or such shorter periods as the lead managing underwriter(s) may agree with the Company), after the effective date of such registration except as may otherwise be agreed between the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s) of such Underwritten Offering.

  6.5	Registration Procedures.

  (a)	If and whenever the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, the Company shall as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:

  (i)	prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement to effect such registration in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution of such securities and thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective pursuant to the terms of this Article VI; provided, however, that the Company may discontinue any registration of its securities which are not Registrable Securities at any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto; provided, further, that before filing such registration statement or any amendments thereto, the Company will furnish to the Demand Shareholders which are including Registrable Securities in such registration (“Selling Shareholders”), their counsel and the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review and reasonable comment of such counsel, and other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment letter from the Commission, and, if requested by such counsel, provide such counsel reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such registration statement and each prospectus included therein and such other opportunities to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, including reasonable access to the Company’s books and records, officers, 

  -30-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  accountants and other advisors.  The Company shall not file any such registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto with respect to a Demand Registration to which the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities held by the Requesting Shareholder(s), their counsel or the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object, in writing, on a timely basis, unless, in the opinion of the Company, such filing is necessary to comply with Applicable Law;

  (ii)	except in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective pursuant to the terms of this Article VI, and comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

If the Company has not received, on or before the second Business Day before the expected filing date, the Requested Information from such holder, the Company may file the registration statement without including Registrable Securities of such holder.

  (a)	The Company agrees, without limitation as to time, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Selling Shareholder and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, stockholders, employees, managers and partners and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such Selling Shareholder or such other indemnified Person and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, employees, managers and partners of each such controlling Person, each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such underwriter, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, the “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, offering circular, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or  Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 6.8(a)) will reimburse each such Selling Shareholder, each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, stockholders, employees, managers and partners and each such Person who controls each such Selling Shareholder and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants, attorneys and agents of each such controlling Person, each such underwriter and each such Person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by any information furnished in writing to the Company by any Selling Shareholder expressly for use therein.

  (b)	In connection with any registration statement in which a Selling Shareholder is participating, without limitation as to time, each such Selling Shareholder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and employees, and each Person who 

  -37-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 6.8(b)) will reimburse the Company, its directors, officers and employees and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, Loss, damage, liability or action, in each case solely to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Selling Shareholder for inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Shareholder shall be liable under this Section 6.8(b) for amounts in excess of the gross proceeds (after deducting any underwriting discount or commission) received by such holder in the offering giving rise to such liability.

  (c)	Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely basis.

  (d)	In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume 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 the defense thereof and acknowledging the obligations of the indemnifying party with respect to such proceeding, the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds that (A) there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party or (B) such action involves, or is reasonably likely to have an effect beyond, the scope of matters that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.8, or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in connection with retaining one separate legal counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, for 

  -38-

   

  ACTIVE/117762661.12 

   

  

   

  all indemnified parties in connection therewith)).  For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any such assumption by an indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such matter and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party except as provided in the previous sentence.  An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its consent.  No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement (x) includes 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, (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (z) is settled solely for cash for which the indemnified party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

  (e)	The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall survive the Transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this Agreement and all cessation of rights set forth in Section 6.10.

  (f)	If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, the Persons’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances.  It is hereby agreed that it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.  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 was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Shareholder shall be required to make a contribution in excess of the amount received by such Selling Shareholder from its sale of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation.

  6.9	Free Writing Prospectuses.  Investor shall not use any “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article VI without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor may use any free writing prospectus prepared and distributed by the Company.
