1.          Shelf
Registration.


 


The Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement with the Commission on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not available
for use by the Company, on Form S-1 (or any successor form or other appropriate form promulgated under the Securities Act) for an
offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act (a “Shelf
Registration Statement”), as soon as practicable after the date hereof, but in no event later than September 30, 2022, which
Shelf Registration Statement shall include all or any part of the Investor’s Registrable Securities requested to be included
by such Investor. The Company shall give notice to the Investor of the intended filing date of the Shelf Registration Statement, and
the Investor shall have at least ten (10) Business Days to notify the Company in writing of the number of Registrable Securities the
Investor desires to include in the Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts (i) to promptly
obtain effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement (or any
successor or replacement registration statement) at all times following the effective date of such registration statement until the
earlier of (x) five years from the date on which the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective; and (y) the date on which all
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants are sold, and (iii) if the Company is a WKSI at the time any
replacement Shelf Registration Statement is filed, to file an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under
the Securities Act) (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”) and promptly file amendments or otherwise
supplement such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to include any additional Registrable Securities not included in the initial
registration, to the extent requested in writing by the Investor from time to time while such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement
is effective.


 




    	 	2	 



     


    

 


2.          Demand
Registration.


 


(a)          At
any time after the Shelf Registration Statement referred to in Section 1 is effective, the Investor may notify the Company that
it intends to offer or cause to be offered in an underwritten public offering all or any portion of its Registrable Securities, provided
that the aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of securities requested to be included in such registration must equal
or exceed $15,000,000. Upon receipt of such request, the Company shall promptly deliver notice of such request to all holders of Registrable
Securities (other than the Investor) who shall then have twenty (20) days to notify the Company in writing of their desire to be included
in such registration. The Company shall state such in the written notice and in such event the right of any Person to participate in such
registration shall be conditioned upon such Person’s participation in such underwritten public offering and the inclusion of such
Person’s Registrable Securities in the underwritten public offering to the extent provided herein. The Company will use its reasonable
best efforts to expeditiously effect the registration of all Registrable Securities whose holders request participation in such registration
under the Securities Act, but only to the extent provided for in this Agreement; provided however, that the Company shall not be
required to effect registration pursuant to a request under this Section 2 more than three times. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, no request may be made under this Section 2 within ninety (90) days after the effective date of a registration
statement filed by the Company covering a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the holders of Registrable Securities
shall have been entitled to join pursuant to Section 3 and in which there shall have been effectively registered all Registrable
Securities as to which registration shall have been requested. A registration will not count as a requested registration under this Section
2(a) unless and until the registration statement relating to such registration has been declared effective by the Commission; provided
however, that the Investor may request, in writing, that the Company withdraw a registration statement which has been filed under
this Section 2(a) but has not yet been declared effective, and the Investor may thereafter request the Company to reinstate such
registration statement, if permitted under the Securities Act, or the Investor may request that the Company file another registration
statement, in accordance with the procedures set forth herein and without reduction in the number of demand registrations permitted under
this Section 2(a).


 


(b)          If
the managing underwriter of such offering referred to in this Section 2 determines in good faith that the number of securities
sought to be offered should be limited due to market conditions, then the number of securities to be included in such underwritten public
offering shall be reduced to a number deemed satisfactory by such managing underwriter; provided, that the shares to be excluded
shall be determined in the following order of priority: (i) persons not having any contractual or other right to include such securities
in the registration statement, (ii) securities held by any other Persons (other than the holders of Registrable Securities or Lender Registrable
Securities) having a contractual, incidental “piggy back” right to include such securities in the registration statement,
(iii) securities to be registered by the Company pursuant to such registration statement, (iv) Registrable Securities of the Investor
and holders of Lender Registrable Securities who did not make the original request for registration and, if necessary, (v) Registrable
Securities of the Investor who requested such registration pursuant to Section 2(a). If there is a reduction of the number of Registrable
Securities and Lender Registrable Securities pursuant to clause (iv), such reduction shall be made on a pro rata basis (based upon the
aggregate number of Registrable Securities and Lender Registrable Securities held by such holders). If there is a reduction of the number
of Registrable Securities pursuant to clause (v), such reduction shall be made on a pro rata basis (based upon the aggregate number of
Registrable Securities held by such holders).


 




    	 	3	 



     


    

 


(c)          With
respect to a request for registration pursuant to Section 2(a), the managing underwriter shall be chosen by the holders of a majority
of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company may
not cause any other registration of securities for sale for its own account (other than a registration effected solely to implement an
employee benefit plan or a transaction to which Rule 145 of the Securities Act is applicable) to become effective within one hundred twenty
(120) days following the effective date of any registration required pursuant to this Section 2.


 


3.          Piggyback
Registration. If at any time the Company shall determine to (x) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
for the sale of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or any successor
form, or a registration statement on Form S-8 or any successor form), or (y) sell shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of
the Company in an underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Commission on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is
not available for use by the Company, on Form S-1 (or any successor form or other appropriate form promulgated under the Securities Act)
for an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, in each case, either
for its own account or for the account of other holders of equity securities in the Company (other than pursuant to Section 1 and
Section 2), the Company shall (i) promptly, but no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the
registration statement (in the case of clause (x) above) or such sale (in the case of clause (y) above), give to each Investor written
notice thereof and (ii) subject to the limits contained in this Section 3, include in such registration statement or sale, as applicable,
all Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made by such Investor; provided, however, that if
the Company is advised in writing in good faith by any managing underwriter of the Company’s securities being offered in a public
offering pursuant to such registration statement that the amount to be sold by persons other than the Company (collectively, “Selling
Stockholders”) is greater than the amount which can be offered without adversely affecting the offering, the Company may reduce
the amount offered for the accounts of Selling Stockholders (including such holders of shares of Registrable Securities) to a number deemed
satisfactory by such managing underwriter; and provided further, that any shares to be excluded shall be determined in the following
order of priority: (i) securities held by any Persons not having any such contractual, incidental registration rights, (ii) securities
held by any Persons having contractual, incidental registration rights pursuant to an agreement which is not this Agreement, other than
the Lender Registration Rights Agreement, and (iii) the Registrable Securities and Lender Registrable Securities sought to be included
by the holders thereof as determined on a pro rata basis (based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities and Lender Registrable
Securities held by such holders).

4.          Registration
Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of this Agreement to use its reasonable best efforts (or
such other standard applicable to such provision of this Agreement) to effect the registration of any of its securities under the Securities
Act, the Company will:


 


(a)          use
its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on the appropriate form under the Securities
Act with respect to such securities, which form shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable
form and include all financial statements required by the Commission to be filed therewith, and use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to become and remain effective until completion of the proposed offering;


 


(b)          use
its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and
the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until the distribution described
in such registration statement has been completed and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or
other disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement whenever the seller or sellers of such securities shall desire
to sell or otherwise dispose of the same, but only to the extent provided in this Agreement;


 


(c)          furnish
to each selling holder and the underwriters, if any, such number of copies of such registration statement, any amendments thereto, any
documents incorporated by reference therein, the prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of
the Securities Act, and such other documents as such selling holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other
disposition of the securities owned by such selling holder;


 


(d)          use
its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or
state blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each selling holder shall request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be
necessary under such securities or blue sky laws to enable such selling holder to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such
jurisdictions of the securities owned by such selling holder, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify
to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified;


 


(e)          within
a reasonable time before each filing of the registration statement or prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto with the Commission,
furnish to counsel selected by the holders of Registrable Securities copies of such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall
be subject to the approval of such counsel;


 


(f)          promptly
notify each selling holder of Registrable Securities, such selling holder’s counsel and any underwriter and (if requested by any
such Person) confirm such notice in writing, of the happening of any event which makes any statement made in the registration statement
or related prospectus untrue or which requires the making of any changes in such registration statement or prospectus so that they will
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading; and, as promptly as practicable thereafter,
prepare and file with the Commission and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter deliverable to the
purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;





 





(g)          use
its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, and if one
is issued use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement
at the earliest possible moment;


 




    	 	5	 



     


    

 





(h)          if
requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters (if any), any selling holder, or such selling holder’s counsel, promptly incorporate
in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such Person requests to be included therein, including, without
limitation, with respect to the securities being sold by such selling holder to such underwriter or underwriters, the purchase price being
paid therefor by such underwriter or underwriters and with respect to any other terms of an underwritten offering of the securities to
be sold in such offering, and promptly make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;


 


(i)          upon
execution of confidentiality agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, make available to each selling holder,
any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent or
representative retained by any such selling holder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and
other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall
be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors
and employees to supply all information requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement;


 


(j)          enter
into any reasonable underwriting agreement required by the proposed underwriter(s) for the selling holders, if any, and use its reasonable
best efforts to facilitate the public offering of the securities;


 


(k)          use
reasonable best efforts to furnish to each prospective selling holder a signed counterpart, addressed to the prospective selling holder,
of (A) an opinion of counsel for the Company, dated the effective date of the registration statement, and (B) a “comfort”
letter signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements included in the registration
statement, covering substantially the same matters with respect to the registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and
(in the case of the accountants’ letter) with respect to events subsequent to the date of the financial statements, as are customarily
covered (at the time of such registration) in opinions of the Company’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to the
underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities;


 


(l)          cause
the securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on the securities exchange or quoted on the quotation system on which
the Common Stock of the Company is then listed or quoted (or if the Common Stock is not yet listed or quoted, then on such exchange or
quotation system as the selling holders of Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine);


 


(m)         otherwise
use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission;


 


(n)          otherwise
cooperate with the underwriter(s), the Commission and other regulatory agencies and take all actions and execute and deliver or cause
to be executed and delivered all documents necessary to effect the registration of any securities under this Agreement;


 


(o)          use
its reasonable best efforts to make available its senior management, employees and personnel for participation in “road shows”
and other marketing efforts and otherwise provide reasonable assistance to the underwriters (taking into account the needs of the Company’s
businesses and the requirements of the marketing process) in marketing the Registrable Securities in any underwritten offering; and


 




    	 	6	 



     


    

 


(p)          during
the period when the prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, promptly file all documents required to be filed
with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.


 


5.            Deemed
Underwriter. The Company agrees that, the Investor or any of its affiliates (each an “Investor Entity”) could
reasonably be deemed to be an “underwriter,” as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, in connection with any
registration of the Company's securities pursuant to this Agreement, and any amendment or supplement thereof or if an Investor conducts
an underwritten offering (any such registration statement or amendment or supplement a “Investor Underwriter Registration Statement”),
then the Company will cooperate with such Investor Entity in allowing such Investor Entity to conduct customary “underwriter's due
diligence” with respect to the Company and satisfy its obligations in respect thereof. In addition, at the Investor’s request,
the Company will furnish to such Investor and any underwriter, on the date of the effectiveness of any Investor Underwriter Registration
Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as the Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the
Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public
accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to such Investor, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date,
of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Investor Underwriter Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as
is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, including, without limitation, a standard “10b-5” statement for such
offering, addressed to such Investor. The Company will also permit legal counsel to the Investor to review and comment upon any such Investor
Underwriter Registration Statement at least five business days prior to its filing with the Commission and all amendments and supplements
to any such Investor Underwriter Registration Statement within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the Commission and
not file any Investor Underwriter Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which such Investor’s legal
counsel reasonably objects.


 


6.            Expenses.
All expenses incurred by the Company or the Investor in effecting the registrations provided for in Sections 2, 3 and 4,
including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company,
fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Investor (up to a maximum of $125,000), underwriting expenses (other than fees, commissions
or discounts), expenses of any audits incident to or required by any such registration and expenses of complying with the securities or
blue sky laws of any jurisdictions (all of such expenses referred to as “Registration Expenses”), shall be paid by
the Company.


 


7.             Indemnification.


 


(a)          The
Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor (including its partners (including partners of partners and shareholders of
such partners)), each underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), and directors, officers, employees and agents of any of them,
and each other Person who participates in the offering of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the
meaning of the Securities Act) such seller, underwriter or participating Person (individually and collectively, the
“Indemnified Person”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the
“liability”), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or any
other statute or at common law, insofar as such liability (or action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration
statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus used in connection with any offering,
including but not limited to, any free writing prospectus used by the Company, the underwriters or the Investor, or (ii) any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, any state securities or “blue sky”
laws or any sale or regulation thereunder in connection with such registration, or (iv) any information provided by the Company or
at the instruction of the Company to any Person participating in the offer at the point of sale containing any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact or omitting or allegedly omitting any material fact required to be included in such
information or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(d), the
Company shall reimburse each such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such liability; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such liability
arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such
registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto, free writing prospectus, or other
information, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Person specifically for
use therein; and provided further, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify any Person against any liability arising from
any untrue or misleading statement or omission contained in any preliminary prospectus if such deficiency is corrected in the final
prospectus or for any liability which arises out of the failure of any Person to deliver a prospectus as required by the Securities
Act regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person and shall survive transfer of such securities by
such seller; and provided, further that, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent
of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).


 




    	 	7	 



     


    




 


(b)          The
Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities included in such registration being effected shall indemnify and hold harmless
each other selling holder of any securities, the Company, its directors and officers, employees and agents, each underwriter and each
other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company or such underwriter (individually and collectively
also the “Indemnified Person”), against any liability, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become
subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises
out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof,
in any registration statement under which securities were registered under the Securities Act at the request of such selling Person, any
preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus used
in connection with such offering, including but not limited to, any free writing prospectus used by the Company, the underwriters, or
by such selling Person, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission by such selling Person to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any information provided at the instruction of the
Company to any Person participating in the offer at the point of sale containing any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact or omitting or allegedly omitting any material fact required to be included in such information or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus,
amendment or supplement thereto, free writing prospectus, or other information, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished
in writing to the Company by such selling Person specifically for use therein. The Investor or holder of Registrable Securities shall
reimburse any Indemnified Person for any legal fees incurred in investigating or defending any such liability; provided, however, that
in no event shall the liability of any Investor for indemnification under this Section 7 in its capacity as a seller of Registrable
Securities exceed the lesser of (i) that proportion of the total of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities indemnified
against equal to the proportion of the total securities sold under such registration statement which is being held by such selling Person,
or (ii) the amount equal to the proceeds to such selling Person of the securities sold in any such registration; and provided further,
however, that no such selling Person shall be required to indemnify any other Person against any liability arising from any untrue or
misleading statement or omission contained in any preliminary prospectus if such deficiency is corrected in the final prospectus or for
any liability which arises out of the failure of any Person to deliver a prospectus as required by the Securities Act.


 




    	 	8	 



     


    




 


(c)          Indemnification
similar to that specified in Sections 7(a) and (b) shall be given by the Company and each selling holder (with such modifications
as may be appropriate) with respect to any required registration or other qualification of their securities under any federal or state
law or regulation of governmental authority other than the Securities Act.


 


(d)          In
the event the Company, any selling holder or other Person receives a complaint, claim or other notice of any liability or action, giving
rise to a claim for indemnification under Sections 7(a), (b) or (c) above, the Person claiming indemnification under
such paragraphs shall promptly notify the Person against whom indemnification is sought of such complaint, notice, claim or action, and
such indemnifying Person shall have the right to investigate and defend any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.


 


(e)          If
the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 for any reason is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable
to an Indemnified Person in respect of any losses, claims, damages expenses or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying
party under this Section 7, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the Investor or selling holders and the underwriters from the offering of Registrable
Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, the Investor, other
selling holders and the underwriters in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages expenses
or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, the Investor, the
other selling holders and the underwriters shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions that the net proceeds from the offering
(before deducting expenses) received by the Company, the Investor, the other selling holders and the underwriting discount received by
the underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the applicable prospectus, bear to the aggregate public
offering price of the Registrable Securities. The relative fault of the Company, the Investor, the other selling holders and the underwriters
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission
or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, the Investor, the other selling holders or
the underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement
or omission.


 


The Company, the Investor and
the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata or
per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. In no event, however, shall the Investor be required to contribute under this Section 7(e) in
excess of the lesser of (i) that proportion of the total of such losses, claims, damages expenses or liabilities indemnified against equal
to the proportion of the total Registrable Securities sold under such registration statement which are being sold by the Investor or (ii)
the net proceeds received by the Investor from its sale of Registrable Securities under such registration statement. No Person found guilty
of fraudulent representation (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.

(f)          The
amount paid by an indemnifying party or payable to an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities
referred to in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include, subject to limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, payable as the same are incurred.
The indemnification and contribution provided for in this Section 7 will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the indemnified parties or any other officer, director, employee, agent or controlling person of the indemnified
parties. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall enter into a consent or entry of any judgment or
enter into a settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.


 


8.           Compliance
with Rule 144. For so long as the Company (i) has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or (ii)
files reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission
such information as is required under the Exchange Act for so long as there are holders of Registrable Securities; and in such event,
the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all action as may be required as a condition to the availability of Rule 144
under the Securities Act (or any comparable successor rules). The Company shall furnish to any holder of Registrable Securities upon request
a written statement executed by the Company as to the steps it has taken to comply with the current public information requirement of
Rule 144 (or such comparable successor rules). Subject to the limitations on transfers imposed by this Agreement, the Company shall use
its reasonable best efforts to facilitate and expedite transfers of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.


 


9.            Rule
144A Information. The Company shall, upon written request of the Investor, provide to such Investor and to any prospective institutional
transferee of the Common Stock designated by such Investor, such financial and other information as is available to the Company or can
be obtained by the Company without material expense and as the Investor may reasonably determine is required to permit such transfer to
comply with the requirements of Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act.


 


10.          Amendments.
The provisions of this Agreement may be amended, and the Company may take any action herein prohibited or omit to perform any act herein
required to be performed by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities,
provided that any rights given to any party hereto may be waived by such party hereto on such party’s own behalf, without
the consent of any other party; provided further that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment or modification to this Agreement
that is disproportionate and adverse in any material respect to the Investor as compared to the other holders of Registrable Securities
shall require the written consent of the Investor. For the purposes of this Agreement and all agreements executed pursuant hereto, no
course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto and no delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any rights hereunder
or thereunder shall operate as a waiver of the rights hereof and thereof.


 


11.         Postponement.
The Company may postpone the filing of any registration statement required hereunder or suspend sales under a Shelf Registration
Statement for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period, if
the filing or use of a Shelf Registration statement would require a special audit or the disclosure of a material impending
transaction or other matter and the Company’s Board of Directors determines reasonably and in good faith that such disclosure
would have a material adverse effect on the Company (a “Black Out Period”). Upon notice of the existence of a
Black Out Period from the Company to the Investor and other holders of Registrable Securities with respect to any registration
statement already effective, such Investor or other holder shall refrain from selling its Registrable Securities under such
registration statement until such Black Out Period has ended; provided, however, that the Company shall not impose a
Black Out Period with respect to any registration statement that is already effective more than twice during any period of twelve
(12) consecutive months.

12.         Market
Stand-Off. The Investor and each other holder of Registrable Securities agrees, that if requested by the Company and an underwriter
of Registrable Securities of the Company in connection with any public offering of the Company, not to directly or indirectly offer, sell,
contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant
for the sale of or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares held by it for such period, not to exceed ninety (90) days following the
effective date of the relevant registration statement in connection with any public offering of Registrable Securities, as such underwriter
shall specify reasonably and in good faith, provided, however, that all officers and directors of the Company and all 1% or greater stockholders
of the Company enter into similar agreements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, (i) none of the provisions of this Agreement
shall in any way limit the Investor from engaging in any brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, principaling,
merger advisory, financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, investment activity and other similar activities conducted
in the ordinary course of their business, and (ii) the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall not apply to Registrable Securities
acquired by any Investor Entity following the effective date of the first registration statement of the Company covering Registrable Securities
to be sold on behalf of the Company in an underwritten public offering.


 


13.         Transferability
of Registration Rights. The registration rights set forth in this Agreement are transferable to each transferee of Registrable
Securities. Each subsequent holder of Registrable Securities must consent in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in order to acquire the rights granted pursuant to this Agreement.


 


14.         Rights
Which May Be Granted to Subsequent Investors. Other than permitted transferees of Registrable Securities under this Section, the
Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Investor, (a) allow purchasers of the Company’s securities to become
a party to this Agreement or (b) other than with respect to the Lender Registration Rights Agreement, grant any other registration rights
other than any incidental or so called piggyback registration rights to any third parties that are not inconsistent with the terms of
this Agreement.


 


15.         Damages.
The Company recognizes and agrees that each holder of Registrable Securities will not have an adequate remedy if the Company fails to
comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and that damages will not be readily ascertainable, and the Company expressly agrees
that, in the event of such failure, it shall not oppose an application by any holder of Registrable Securities or any other Person entitled
to the benefits of this Agreement requiring specific performance of any and all provisions hereof or enjoining the Company from continuing
to commit any such breach of this Agreement.
