**Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On September 30, 2025, Twin Hospitality Group Inc. (the "**Company**") entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "**Purchase Agreement**") and related Registration Rights Agreement (the "**RRA**") with White Lion Capital, LLC ("**White Lion**). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to require White Lion to purchase, from time to time, up to $50.0 million in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued Class A common stock of the Company (the "**Common Stock**"), subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

The Company is obligated under the Purchase Agreement and the RRA to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("**SEC**") to register the Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**"), for the resale by White Lion of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue to White Lion under the Purchase Agreement.

Subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions including, without limitation, the effectiveness of a resale registration statement (the "**Registration Statement**") registering the resale of the shares issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company's right to sell shares to White Lion commenced upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement, and extends until 36 months from the execution of the Purchase Agreement, or until the Company has exercised in full its right to sell shares to White Lion under the Purchase Agreement (the "**Commitment Period**"). During the Commitment Period, subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company may notify (such notice, a "**Purchase Notice**") White Lion when the Company exercises its right to sell shares.

The Purchase Notice may be a (i) Fixed Purchase Notice, (ii) Rapid Purchase Notice, or (iii) VWAP Purchase Notice, each as described below.

● Under a "Fixed Purchase Notice", the purchase price to be paid by White Lion will equal 85% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement, "**VWAP**") of the Common Stock during five consecutive business days prior to, ending on and including the applicable notice date. The maximum number of shares under each Fixed Purchase Notice will be the lesser of: (a) 30% of the "Median Daily Trading Volume" (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (ii) $250,000 divided by the highest closing price of the Common Stock over the most recent five business days.

● Under a "VWAP Purchase Notice", the purchase price to be paid by White Lion will equal 97.5% of the VWAP of the Common Stock during the "VWAP Purchase Valuation Period" (as determined under the Purchase Agreement) less five cents ($0.05) per share. The maximum number of shares under each VWAP Purchase Notice will be the lesser of: (a) 20% of the "Average Daily Trading Volume" (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (ii) $200,000 divided by the highest closing price of the Common Stock over the most recent five business days.

● Under a "Rapid Purchase Notice", the purchase price to be paid by White Lion will equal, at the Company's option: (i) the lowest traded price of the Common Stock during the "Rapid Purchase Notice Date", or (ii) 99% multiplied by the lowest traded price two (2) hours following the confirmation by the Investor of the Rapid Purchase Notice. The "Rapid Purchase Notice Date" will be the same business day that a Rapid Purchase Notice is received and confirmed, if before 2:00 p.m. New York time, or else the next business day, unless waived by White Lion. The maximum number of shares under each Rapid Purchase Notice will be the lesser of: (a) 20% of the "Average Daily Trading Volume" (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (ii) $200,000 divided by the highest closing price of the Common Stock over the most recent five business days.

The Company may terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, provided that the Company shall have delivered the Commitment Shares to White Lion prior to such termination. In addition, the Purchase Agreement shall automatically terminate on the earlier of (i) the end of the Commitment Period or (ii) the date that, pursuant to or within the meaning of any bankruptcy law, the Company commences a voluntary case or any person commences a proceeding against the Company, a custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors. No termination of the Purchase Agreement will affect the registration rights provisions contained in the RRA.

In consideration for the commitments of White Lion, as described above, the Company has agreed to issue to White Lion shares of Common Stock in three tranches in the following amounts: (i) $125,000 divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the day of effectiveness of the Registration Statement; (ii) $125,000 divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the 180th day following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement; plus (iii) $125,000 divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the day the Company receives $7,500,000 in aggregate total gross amount received from Purchase Notices, less clearing costs (collectively, the "**Commitment Shares**").

Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into the RRA with White Lion under which the Company agreed to file, within 30 days following the execution of the Purchase Agreement, a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the Commitment Shares and the shares of Common Stock to be purchased by White Lion under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement and RRA contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the RRA are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

The offer and sale of the Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. The Common Stock may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor the exhibits attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Common Stock described herein or therein.

In the Purchase Agreement, White Lion represented to the Company that it is an "accredited investor", as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act, and the Company's offer and sale of the Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement are being made (or, with respect to the Commitment Shares, have been made) in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c) <u>PRINCIPAL MARKET REGULATION</u>.** Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and in addition to the limitations set forth herein, the Company shall not issue more than 10,885,725 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "**<u>Exchange Cap</u>**") under this Agreement, which equals 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of the Execution Date, unless stockholder approval is obtained to issue in excess of the Exchange Cap; *provided*, *however*, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply if at any time the Exchange Cap is reached and at all times thereafter the average price paid for all shares of Class A Common Stock issued under this Agreement is equal to or greater than $4.08086 (the "**<u>Minimum Price</u>**"), a price equal to the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price immediately preceding the execution of this Agreement or (ii) the arithmetic average of the five (5) Nasdaq Official Closing Prices for the Class A Common Stock immediately preceding the execution of this Agreement, as calculated in accordance with the rules of the Principal Market (in such circumstance, for purposes of the Principal Market, the transaction contemplated hereby would not be "below market" and the Exchange Cap would not apply). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required or permitted to sell and issue, and the Investor shall not be required to purchase, any shares of Class A Common Stock under this Agreement if such issuance would violate the rules or regulations of the Principal Market. The Company may, in its sole discretion, determine whether to obtain stockholder approval to issue more than 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock hereunder if such issuance would require stockholder approval under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market. The Exchange Cap shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued or issuable that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under applicable rules of the Principal Market.

**Section 7.2 <u>CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE OBLIGATION OF INVESTOR TO PURCHASE THE PURCHASE NOTICE SHARES</u>.** The obligation of the Investor hereunder to purchase the Purchase Notice Shares is subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a) <u>EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT</u>.** The Registration Statement, and any amendment or supplement thereto, shall remain effective for the offering of the Securities, and (i) the Company shall not have received notice that the SEC has issued or intends to issue a stop order with respect to such Registration Statement or that the SEC otherwise has suspended or withdrawn the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, either temporarily or permanently, or intends or has threatened to do so, and (ii) no other suspension of the use of, or withdrawal of the effectiveness of, such Registration Statement or related prospectus shall exist. The Investor shall not have received any notice from the Company that the prospectus and/or any prospectus supplement fails to meet the requirements of Section 5(b) or Section 10 of the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b) <u>ACCURACY OF THE COMPANY'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES</u>.** The representations and warranties of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of each Closing (except for representations and warranties specifically made as of a particular date).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c) <u>PERFORMANCE BY THE COMPANY</u>.** The Company shall have performed, satisfied, and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to such Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d) <u>NO INJUNCTION</u>.** No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or adopted by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits or directly and materially adversely affects any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and no proceeding shall have been commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting or directly and materially adversely affecting any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(e) <u>ADVERSE CHANGES</u>.** Since the date of filing of the Company's most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q, no event that had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(f) <u>NO SUSPENSION OF TRADING IN OR DELISTING OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK</u>.** The trading of the Class A Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market, or otherwise halted for any reason, and the Class A Common Stock shall have been approved for listing or quotation on, and shall not have been delisted from or no longer quoted on, the Principal Market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(g) <u>BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP LIMITATION</u>.** The number of Purchase Notice Shares to be purchased by the Investor at such time shall not exceed the number of such shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of Class A Common Stock then owned or deemed to be beneficially owned by the Investor would result in the Investor owning more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below), as determined in accordance with Section 13 of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this <u>Section 7.2(g)</u>, in the event that the amount of Class A Common Stock outstanding is greater or lesser on a Closing Date than on the date upon which the Purchase Notice associated with such Closing Date is given, the amount of Class A Common Stock outstanding on such issuance of a Purchase Notice shall govern for purposes of determining whether the Investor, when aggregating all purchases of Class A Common Stock made pursuant to this Agreement, would own more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation following a purchase on any such Closing Date. In the event the Investor claims that compliance with a Purchase Notice would result in the Investor owning more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, upon the request of the Company, the Investor will provide the Company with evidence of the Investor's then existing shares beneficially or deemed beneficially owned. The "**<u>Beneficial Ownership Limitation</u>**" shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to a Purchase Notice; *provided* that, the Investor may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation up to 9.99% at its sole discretion upon 61 days prior written notice to the Company. To the extent that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation is exceeded, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to the Investor shall be reduced void ab initio so it does not exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(h) <u>STOCK PROMOTION</u>.** The Company shall be free from any "stock promotion" flag.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i) <u>NO KNOWLEDGE</u>.** The Company shall have no knowledge of any event more likely than not to have the effect of causing the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be suspended or any prospectus or prospectus supplement failing to meet the requirement of Sections 5(b) or 10 of the Securities Act (which event is more likely than not to occur within the 15 Business Days following the Business Day on which such Purchase Notice is deemed delivered).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(j) <u>NO VIOLATION OF SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL REQUIREMENT</u>.** The issuance of such Purchase Notice Shares with respect to such Purchase Notice shall not violate the shareholder approval requirements of the Principal Market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(k) <u>DWAC ELIGIBLE</u>.** The Class A Common Stock must be DWAC Eligible and not subject to a "DTC chill".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(l) <u>SEC DOCUMENTS</u>.** All reports, schedules, registrations, forms, statements, information, and other documents required to have been filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act shall have been filed with the SEC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(m) <u>EXCHANGE CAP</u>.** The Exchange Cap has not been reached (to the extent the Exchange Cap is applicable pursuant to <u>Section 7.1(c)</u>).

**ARTICLE VIII<br> LEGENDS**

**Section 8.1 <u>NO RESTRICTIVE STOCK LEGEND</u>.** No restrictive stock legend shall be placed on the share certificates representing the Purchase Notice Shares.

**Section 8.2 <u>INVESTOR'S COMPLIANCE</u>.** Nothing in this <u>Article VIII</u> shall affect in any way the Investor's obligations hereunder to comply with all applicable securities laws in connection with resales of shares of Class A Common Stock.

**ARTICLE IX**

**INDEMNIFICATION**

**Section 9.1 <u>INDEMNIFICATION</u>.** Each Party (an "**<u>Indemnifying Party</u>**") agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Party along with its directors, officers, employees, and authorized agents, and each Person or entity, if any, who controls such Party within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an "**<u>Indemnified Party</u>**") from and against any Damages, and any action in respect thereof to which such Indemnified Party becomes subject to, resulting from, or arising out of, this Agreement, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of such Indemnifying Party contained in this Agreement, (b) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or prospectus or prospectus supplement, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (c) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading, or (d) any violation or alleged violation by such Indemnifying Party of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, as such Damages are incurred, except to the extent such Damages result primarily from such Indemnified Party's failure to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or such Indemnified Party's, recklessness or willful misconduct in performing its obligations under this Agreement; *provided, however*, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any Damages of an Indemnified Party to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made by such Indemnifying Party in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to such Indemnifying Party by such Indemnified Party expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment thereof, prospectus, prospectus supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus (as amended or supplemented).

**Section 9.2 <u>INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE.</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** An Indemnified Party that seeks indemnification under <u>Section 9.1</u> must promptly give the Indemnifying Party notice of any legal action. But a delay in notice does not relieve an Indemnifying Party of any liability to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shows that the delay prejudiced the defense of the action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** The Indemnifying Party may participate in the defense at any time or it may assume the defense by giving notice to the Indemnified Parties. After assuming the defense, the Indemnifying Party:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)** must select counsel (including local counsel if appropriate) that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(ii)** is not liable to the Indemnified Parties for any later attorney's fees or for any other later expenses that the Indemnified Parties incur, except for reasonable investigation costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(iii)** must not compromise or settle the action without the consent of the Indemnified Parties (which may not be unreasonably withheld); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(iv)** is not liable for any compromise or settlement made without its consent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** Subject to the Dispute Period, if the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within 10 Business Days after receiving notice of the action, the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any determination made in the action or by any compromise or settlement made by the Indemnified Parties, and also remains liable to pay the Indemnified Parties' legal fees and expenses.

**Section 9.3 <u>METHOD OF ASSERTING INDEMNIFICATION CLAIMS</u>.** All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under <u>Section 9.1</u> shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)** In the event any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under <u>Section 9.1</u> is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than a Party hereto or an affiliate thereof (a "**<u>Third Party Claim</u>**"), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification, enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any, and specifying the nature of and basis for such Third Party Claim and for the Indemnified Party's claim for indemnification that is being asserted under any provision of <u>Section 9.1</u> against an Indemnifying Party, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such Third Party Claim (a "**<u>Claim Notice</u>**") with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend has been prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable within the period ending thirty (30) calendar days following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of either a Claim Notice or an Indemnity Notice (as defined below) (the "**<u>Dispute Period</u>**") whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party under <u>Section 9.1</u> and whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(i)** If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this <u>Section 9.3</u>, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be vigorously and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the Indemnified Party in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages or that provides for the payment of monetary damages as to which the Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified in full pursuant to <u>Section 9.1</u>). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; *provided*, *however*, that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party's delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this clause (i), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests; and *provided*, *further*, that, if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this clause (i), and except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may take over the control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under <u>Section 9.1</u> with respect to such Third Party Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(ii)** If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third Party Claim pursuant to this <u>Section 9.3(a)</u>, or if the Indemnifying Party fails to give any notice whatsoever within the Dispute Period, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in a reasonable manner and in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party (with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; *provided*, *however*, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (ii), if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability or the amount of its liability hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the manner provided in clause (iii) below, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party's defense pursuant to this clause (ii) or of the Indemnifying Party's participation therein at the Indemnified Party's request, and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this clause (ii), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(iii)** If the Indemnifying Party timely notifies the Indemnified Party that it disputes its liability or the amount of its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under this <u>Section 9.3(a)</u>, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute; *provided*, *however*, that, if the dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)** In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under <u>Section 9.1</u> against the Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notification of a claim for indemnity under <u>Section 9.1</u> specifying the nature of and basis for such claim, together with the amount or, if not then reasonably ascertainable, the estimated amount, determined in good faith, of such claim (an "**<u>Indemnity Notice</u>**") with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such Indemnified Party's rights hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been irreparably prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability or the amount of its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute; *provided*, *however*, that if the dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the Indemnity Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to institute such legal action as it deems appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)** The Indemnifying Party agrees to reimburse the Indemnified Party, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Third Party Claim.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(d)** The indemnity provisions contained in this <u>Article IX</u> shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the Indemnifying Party may be subject to.

**Section 10.11 <u>NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION</u>.** The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against either Party.

**Section 10.12 <u>EQUITABLE RELIEF</u>.** Each Party recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the other Party. Each Party therefore agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, both Parties will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The Parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

**Section 10.13 <u>TITLE AND SUBTITLES</u>.** The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for the convenience of reference and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. Any references to "Section" or "Article" in this Agreement shall, unless otherwise expressly stated herein, refer to the applicable Section or Article of this Agreement.

**Section 10.14 <u>AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS</u>.** No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived by the Parties from and after the date that is one (1) Business Day immediately preceding the initial filing of the prospectus to the Registration Statement with the SEC. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) no provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by a written instrument signed by both Parties, and (ii) no provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the Party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

**Section 10.15 <u>PUBLICITY</u>.** The Company and the Investor shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that no prior consent shall be required if such disclosure is required by law, in which such case the disclosing Party shall provide the other Party with prior notice of such public statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Investor without the prior written consent of the Investor, except to the extent required by law. The Investor acknowledges that the Transaction Documents may be deemed to be "material contracts", as that term is defined by Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, and that the Company may therefore be required to file such documents as exhibits to reports or registration statements filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. The Investor further agrees that the status of such documents and materials as material contracts shall be determined solely by the Company, in consultation with its counsel.

**Section 10.16 <u>DISPUTE RESOLUTION</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a) <u>SUBMISSION TO DISPUTE RESOLUTION</u>.**

If the Investor and the Company are unable to promptly resolve such dispute relating to such Average Daily Trading Volume, Purchase Notice Limit or VWAP (as the case may be), at any time after the second (2nd) Business Day following such initial notice by the Company or the Investor (as the case may be) of such dispute to the Company or the Investor (as the case may be), then the Company and the Investor may select an independent, reputable investment bank as mutually agreed upon to resolve such dispute.

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Company and the Investor or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Company nor the Investor shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute, other than the Required Dispute Documentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(iii)** The Company and the Investor shall cause such investment bank to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Company and the Investor of such resolution no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline.

The Initial Registration Statement shall contain a Prospectus describing the material terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, and disclosing all material information relating to the transactions contemplated thereby required to be disclosed in the Prospectus, including, without limitation, the "Selling Stockholder" and "Plan of Distribution" sections in substantially the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit A</u>, in order to conform, in all material respects when filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof with the Commission; *provided, however*, that the Company's obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Initial Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to the Company such information, and executing such documents, in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request in accordance with <u>Section 4(a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) **<u>Legal Counsel</u>.** Subject to <u>Section 5</u>, the Investor shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review and oversee, solely on its behalf, any registration pursuant to this <u>Section 2</u> (the "***Investor's <u>Legal Counsel</u>***").

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof with the Commission.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) **<u>No Inclusion of Other Securities; Statutory Underwriter Status</u>.** In no event shall the Company include any securities other than the Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement pursuant to <u>Section 2(a)</u> or <u>Section 2(c)</u> without consulting the Investor and the Investor's Legal Counsel and receiving the written consent of the Investor, prior to filing such Registration Statement with the Commission. The Investor acknowledges that it will be disclosed as an "underwriter" and a "selling stockholder" in each Registration Statement and in any Prospectus contained therein to the extent required by applicable law and to the extent the Prospectus is related to the resale of Registrable Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) **<u>Offering</u>.** If the Staff or the Commission seeks to prevent the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be registered under a Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415, or if after the filing of any Registration Statement, or any Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, pursuant to <u>Section 2(a)</u> or <u>Section 2(c)</u>, the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the Commission to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement (after consultation with the Investor and the Investor's Legal Counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) to no more than the maximum number of securities as is permitted by the Commission to be registered until such time as the Staff and the Commission shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if after giving effect to the actions referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, the Staff or the Commission does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor of Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), the Company shall not request acceleration of the Effective Date of such Registration Statement, and the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours) request the withdrawal of such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this <u>Section 2(e)</u>, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file one or more New Registration Statements with the Commission in accordance with <u>Section 2(c)</u> until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the Prospectuses contained therein are available for use by the Investor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) **Registrable Securities.** Any Registrable Security shall cease to be a "Registrable Security" at the earliest of the following: (i) when a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Security becomes or has been declared effective by the Commission and such Registrable Security has been sold or disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement by the Investor; (ii) when such Registrable Security is held by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries; and (iii) the date that is the later of (A) the first (1<sup>st</sup>) anniversary of the date of termination of the Purchase Agreement in accordance with Section [ ] of the Purchase Agreement, and (B) the first (1<sup>st</sup>) anniversary of the date of the last sale of any Registrable Securities to the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

**3. <u>Related Obligations</u>.**

For the duration of the Registration Period, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and, pursuant thereto, during the term of this Agreement, the Company shall have the following obligations:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Following the Execution Date, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission the Initial Registration Statement pursuant to <u>Section 2(a)</u>, and, if applicable, one or more New Registration Statements pursuant to <u>Section 2(c)</u>, with respect to the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing. Subject to Allowable Grace Periods, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep each Registration Statement effective (and the Prospectus contained therein available for use) pursuant to Rule 415 for resales by the Investor of Registrable Securities on a continuous basis at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) at all times until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Investor shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, and (ii) the date of termination of the Purchase Agreement if as of such termination date the Investor holds no Registrable Securities (or, if applicable, the date on which such securities cease to be Registrable Securities after the date of termination of the Purchase Agreement) (the "***<u>Registration Period</u>***"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to the provisions of <u>Section 3(n)</u>), the Company shall ensure that, when filed and at all times while effective, each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) and the Prospectus (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such Registration Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of Prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. The Company shall submit to the Commission, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the Staff or that the Staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement (as the case may be), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with Rule 461 under the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Subject to <u>Section 3(n)</u>, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection with each such Registration Statement, which Prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep each such Registration Statement effective (and the Prospectus contained therein current and available for use) at all times during the Registration Period for such Registration Statement, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Investor as set forth in such Registration Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that (i) on the second (2<sup>nd</sup>) Business Day immediately following the Effective Date of the Initial Registration Statement and any New Registration Statement (or any post-effective amendment thereto), the Company shall file with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act the final Prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement (or post-effective amendment thereto), and (ii) if the transactions contemplated by any Purchase Notice are material to the Company (individually or collectively with all other prior Purchase Notices, the consummation of which have not previously been reported in any Prospectus Supplement filed with the Commission under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or in any report, statement or other document filed by the Company with the Commission under the Exchange Act), or if otherwise required under the Securities Act (or the interpretations of the Commission thereof), in each case as reasonably determined by the Company and the Investor, then, on the first (1<sup>st</sup>) Business Day immediately following the Closing Date, if a Purchase Notice was properly delivered to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement in connection with such purchase, the Company shall file with the Commission a Prospectus Supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act with respect to the purchase(s), the total purchase amount for the Purchase Notice Shares subject to such purchase(s) (as applicable), the applicable Purchase Amount(s) for such Purchase Notice Shares, and the net proceeds that are to be (and, if applicable, have been) received by the Company from the sale of such Purchase Notice Shares. To the extent not previously disclosed in the Prospectus or a Prospectus Supplement, the Company shall disclose in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K the information described in the immediately preceding sentence relating to all purchase(s) consummated during the relevant fiscal quarter and shall file such Quarterly Reports and Annual Reports with the Commission within the applicable time period prescribed for such report under the Exchange Act. In the case of amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement on Form S-1 or Prospectus related thereto that are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to this <u>Section 3(b)</u>) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 8-K, Form 10-Q, Form 10-K, or any analogous report under the Exchange Act, the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement and Prospectus, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus with the Commission on the same day on which the Exchange Act report is filed that created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus, for the purpose of including or incorporating such report into such Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) included in each Registration Statement in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the jurisdictions in which the Registrable Securities may be sold by the Investor, in connection with the resale of the Registrable Securities and for such period of time thereafter as such Prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto) (or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with resales of Registrable Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Company shall (i) permit the Investor's Legal Counsel an opportunity to review and comment on (A) each Registration Statement at least two (2) Business Days prior to its filing with the Commission, and (B) all amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, the Prospectus contained therein) (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports to the extent incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplements, the contents of which are limited to that set forth in such reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the Commission, and (ii) shall reasonably consider any comments of the Investor and the Investor's Legal Counsel on any such Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto or to any Prospectus contained therein. The Company shall promptly furnish to the Investor's Legal Counsel, without charge, (A) electronic copies of any correspondence from the Commission or the Staff to the Company or its representatives relating to each Registration Statement (which correspondence shall be redacted to exclude any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), (B) after the same is prepared and filed with the Commission, one (1) electronic copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by the Investor, and (C) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, one (1) electronic copy of the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto; *provided*, *however*, that the Company shall not be required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus, which may be provided in .PDF format) to the Investor's Legal Counsel to the extent such document is available on the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System ("***<u>EDGAR</u>***").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Without limiting any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Investor, without charge, (i) after the same is prepared and filed with the Commission, at least one (1) electronic copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by the Investor, (ii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, one (1) electronic copy of the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, and (iii) such other documents, including, without limitation, copies of any final Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement thereto, as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor; *provided*, *however*, that the Company shall not be required to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus, which may be provided in .PDF format) to the Investor to the extent such document is available on EDGAR).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Company shall take such action as is reasonably necessary to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by the Investor of the Registrable Securities, under such other securities or "Blue Sky" laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; *provided*, *however*, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this <u>Section 3(e)</u>, (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor's Legal Counsel and the Investor of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The Company shall notify the Investor's Legal Counsel and the Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a 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 (*provided*, that in no event shall such notice contain any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and, subject to <u>Section 3(n)</u>, promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and such Prospectus contained therein to correct such untrue statement or omission. The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor's Legal Counsel and the Investor in writing (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor's Legal Counsel and the Investor by facsimile or e-mail (with read receipt) on the same day of such effectiveness), and when the Company receives written notice from the Commission that a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment will be reviewed by the Commission, (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or related information, (iii) of the Company's reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate, and (iv) of the receipt of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for any additional information relating to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related Prospectus. The Company shall respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the Commission with respect to any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto. Nothing in this <u>Section 3(f)</u> shall limit any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The Company shall (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the use of any Prospectus contained therein, or the suspension of the qualification, or the loss of an exemption from qualification, of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible time, and (ii) notify the Investor's Legal Counsel and the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required to be disclosed in such Registration Statement pursuant to the Securities Act, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning the Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to the Investor and allow the Investor, at the Investor's expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Without limiting any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on the Principal Market, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement on another Principal Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this <u>Section 3(i)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The Company shall cooperate with the Investor and, to the extent applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of Registrable Securities, as DWAC Shares, to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such DWAC Shares to be in such denominations or amounts (as the case may be) as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time. Investor hereby agrees that it shall cooperate with the Company, its counsel and Transfer Agent in connection with any issuances of DWAC Shares, and hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that that it will resell such DWAC Shares only pursuant to the Registration Statement in which such DWAC Shares are included, in a manner described under the caption "Plan of Distribution" in such Prospectus, and in a manner in compliance with all applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, any applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. At the time such DWAC Shares are offered and sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, such DWAC Shares shall be free from all restrictive legends (except as otherwise required by applicable federal laws) and may be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Investor by crediting an account at DTC as directed in writing by the Investor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) Upon the written request of the Investor, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice from the Investor, and subject to <u>Section 3(n)</u>, (i) incorporate in a Prospectus Supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor, and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus Supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus Supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement or Prospectus contained therein if reasonably requested by the Investor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) The Company shall make generally available to its security holders (which may be satisfied by making such information available on EDGAR) as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than 90 days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company's fiscal quarter next following the applicable Effective Date of each Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) The Company shall otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission in connection with any registration hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (but subject to the last sentence of this <u>Section 3(n)</u>), at any time, the Company may, upon written notice to Investor, delay the filing or effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or suspend Investor's use of any Prospectus that is a part of any Registration Statement (in which event the Investor shall discontinue sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, but shall settle any previously made sales of Registrable Securities) if (i) the Company determines that in order for such Registration Statement or Prospectus not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment or supplement thereto would be needed to include information at that time, (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Company's board of directors reasonably believes would require additional disclosure by the Company in such Registration Statement or Prospectus of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential, and the non-disclosure of which in such Registration Statement or Prospectus would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company's board of directors, to cause such Registration Statement or Prospectus to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements of the Commission and/or the Securities Act, or (iii) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the members of the Company's board of directors, such filing or effectiveness or use of such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as applicable, would be seriously detrimental to the Company and, as a result, that it is essential to defer such filing, effectiveness or use (each, an "***<u>Allowable Grace Period</u>***<u>");</u> *provided, however*, that in no event shall the Company delay or suspend the filing, effectiveness or use of any Registration Statement or Prospectus for a period that exceeds 45 consecutive Business Days or an aggregate of 90 total Business Days in any 365-day period; and *provided, further*, *however*, that the Company shall not effect any such suspension during the applicable valuation period following the applicable purchase notice date for each purchase of Purchase Notice Shares. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of such condition described above, the Company shall provide prompt notice, but in any event within one Business Day of such disclosure or termination, to the Investor, shall promptly terminate any suspension or delay it has put into effect, and shall take such other reasonable actions to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement (including as set forth in the first sentence of <u>Section 3(f)</u> with respect to the information giving rise thereto, unless such material nonpublic information is no longer applicable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this <u>Section 3(n)</u>, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver DWAC Shares to a transferee of the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which (A) the Company has made a sale to Investor, and (B) the Investor has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the Prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, in each case prior to the Investor's receipt of the notice of an Allowable Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) The Company shall at all times maintain the services of the Transfer Agent with respect to the administration of its Class A Common Stock.

**4. <u>Obligations of the Investor</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of each Registration Statement (or such shorter period to which the Parties agree), the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from the Investor with respect to such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Investor that the Investor shall (i) furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities, and (ii) execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Investor, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of each Registration Statement hereunder, unless the Investor has notified the Company in writing of the Investor's election to exclude all of the Investor's Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in <u>Section</u> 3(n) or the first sentence of <u>Section 3(f)</u>, the Investor shall (i) immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by <u>Section 3(n)</u> or the first sentence of <u>Section 3(f)</u> or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required, and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 4(c)</u>, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver DWAC Shares to a transferee of the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor's receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in <u>Section 3(n)</u> or the first sentence of <u>Section 3(f)</u> and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Investor covenants and agrees that it shall comply with the prospectus delivery and other requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

**5. <u>Expenses of Registration</u>.**

All reasonable expenses of the Company (other than sales or brokerage commissions of, fees and disbursements of counsel for, and other expenses of, the Investor), incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to <u>Sections 2</u> and <u>3</u>, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees incurred by the Company, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.

**6. <u>Indemnification</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title), and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each of the directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an "***<u>Investor Party</u>***", and collectively, the "***<u>Investor Partie</u>***<u>s</u>"), against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, "***<u>Claims</u>***") reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the Commission, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an Investor Party is or may be a party thereto ("***<u>Indemnified Damages</u>***"), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other "Blue Sky" laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered ("***<u>Blue Sky Filing</u>***"), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or in any Prospectus Supplement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being, collectively, "***<u>Violations</u>***"). Subject to <u>Section 6(c)</u>, upon the written request of the Investor Parties, the Company shall reimburse such Investor Parties, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable and documented expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this <u>Section 6(a)</u>: (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Investor Party arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by any Investor Party expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the written information set forth on <u>Exhibit B</u> attached hereto is the only written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement); (ii) shall not be available to any Investor Party to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) made available by the Company (to the extent applicable), including, without limitation, a corrected Prospectus, if such Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or corrected Prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to <u>Section 3(d)</u> and then only if, and to the extent that, following the receipt of the corrected Prospectus, no grounds for such Claim would have existed; and (iii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Investor Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by the Investor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor shall severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in <u>Section 6(a)</u>, the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a "***<u>Company Party</u>***", and collectively, the "***Company Parties***"), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Investor furnished to the Company by any Investor Party expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement, the Prospectus included therein or any Prospectus Supplement thereto (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that the written information set forth on <u>Exhibit B</u> attached hereto is the only written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement); and, subject to <u>Section 6(c)</u> and the below provisos in this <u>Section 6(b)</u>, the Investor shall reimburse a Company Party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Company Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; *provided*, *however*, that the indemnity agreement contained in this <u>Section 6(b)</u> and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in <u>Section 7</u> shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and *provided*<u>,</u> *further*, that the Investor shall be liable under this <u>Section 6(b)</u> for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the proceeds to the Investor as a result of the applicable sale of Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by the Investor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Promptly after receipt by an Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this <u>Section 6</u> of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this <u>Section 6</u>, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be); *provided*, *however*, that such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) in any such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying party, and such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Investor Party or Company Party and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof on behalf of such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be), and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party), *provided further*, that in the case of clause (iii) above, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for all Investor Parties or Company Parties (as the case may be). Such Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to such Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep such Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, Claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; *provided*, *however*, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of such Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or action, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of such Company Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to <u>Sections 6(a)</u> and <u>6(b)</u>. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of such Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such Claim or action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to such Investor Party or Company Party (as the case may be) under this <u>Section 6</u>, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such Claim or action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) No Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities who is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to indemnification from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The indemnification required by this <u>Section 6</u> shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred; *provided*, that any Person receiving any payment pursuant to this <u>Section 6</u> shall promptly reimburse the indemnifying party making such payment for the amount(s) of such payment(s) to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Person receiving such payment(s) was not entitled to such payment(s).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of any Company Party or Investor Party (as the case may be) against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to law.

**7. <u>Contribution</u>.**

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under <u>Section 6</u> to the fullest extent permitted by law; *provided*, *however*, that: (a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in <u>Section 6</u>, (b) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (c) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this <u>Section 7</u>, the Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by the Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that the Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under <u>Section 6(b)</u>.

**8. <u>Reports Under the Exchange Act</u>.**

With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) use its commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit any of the Company's obligations under the Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) furnish to the Investor, so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144 and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company with the Commission if such reports are not publicly available via EDGAR, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) take such additional action as is reasonably requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company's Transfer Agent as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with the Investor and the Investor's broker to effect such sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

**9. <u>Assignment of Registration Rights</u>.**

Neither the Company nor the Investor shall assign this Agreement or any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder.

**10. <u>Amendment or Waiver</u>.**

No provision of this Agreement may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by both Parties, or (ii) waived other than in a written instrument signed by the Party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of either Party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a Party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

**11. <u>Miscellaneous</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Solely for purposes of this Agreement, a Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 10.[17] of the Purchase Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Failure of either Party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a Party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. Each of the Company and the Investor acknowledges and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that either Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by the other Party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which either Party may be entitled by law or equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of California. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts sitting in the City of Los Angeles, California, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such Party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Transaction Documents set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties solely with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations and understandings between the Parties, both oral and written, solely with respect to such matters. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by either Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit, modify or affect in any manner whatsoever (i) the conditions precedent to a purchase contained in Article VII of the Purchase Agreement or (ii) any of the Company's obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors. This Agreement is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any Person, other than the Parties, their respective successors, and the Persons referred to in <u>Sections 6</u> and 7 (and in such case, solely for the purposes set forth therein).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms "including," "includes," "include" and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words "without limitation." The terms "herein," "hereunder," "hereof" and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found. Any references to "Section" or "Article" in this Agreement shall, unless otherwise expressly stated herein, refer to the applicable Section or Article of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered to the other Party; *provided*, that a facsimile signature or signature delivered by e-mail in a ".pdf" format data file, including any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com, www.echosign.adobe.com, etc., shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original signature.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Each Party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other Party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of strict construction will be applied against either Party.

**12. <u>Termination</u>.**

This Agreement shall terminate in its entirety upon the date on which the Investor shall no longer hold any Registrable Securities; *provided*, that the provisions of <u>Sections 6</u>, <u>7</u>, <u>9</u>, <u>10</u> and <u>11</u> shall remain in full force and effect for the longest period under applicable laws.

**<u>EXHIBIT A</u>**

**SELLING STOCKHOLDER**

White Lion (which we refer to as the "Selling Stockholder") may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the shares of our Class A Common Stock that may be issued by us to White Lion under the Purchase Agreement. We are registering the resale of the shares of our Class A Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of the White Lion RRA in order to permit the Selling Stockholder to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the White Lion RRA, White Lion has not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below presents information regarding the Selling Stockholder and the shares of our Class A Common Stock that it may offer from time to time under this prospectus. This table is prepared based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholder, and reflects holdings as of September {-}, 2025. The number of shares in the column "Maximum Number of Shares of Class A Common Stock to be Offered Pursuant to this Prospectus" represents all of the shares of our Class A Common Stock that the Selling Stockholder may offer under this prospectus.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and includes shares of our Class A Common Stock with respect to which the Selling Stockholder has voting and investment power. The percentage of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder prior to the offering shown in the table below is based on an aggregate of {-} shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding as of September {-}, 2025. Because the purchase price of the shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable under the Purchase Agreement is determined on the date of each purchase, the number of shares that may actually be sold by us under the Purchase Agreement may be fewer than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus.

\* Represents beneficial ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock.

<sup>(1)</sup> In accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) under the Exchange Act, we have excluded from the number of shares beneficially owned prior to the offering all of the shares that White Lion may be required to purchase under the Purchase Agreement, because the issuance of such shares is solely at our discretion and is subject to conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, the satisfaction of which are entirely outside of White Lion's control, including the registration statement that includes this prospectus becoming and remaining effective. Additionally, the purchase of shares of our Class A Common Stock is subject to certain agreed upon maximum amount limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Furthermore, the Purchase Agreement prohibits us from selling and issuing any shares of our Class A Common Stock to White Lion to the extent such shares, when aggregated with all other shares of our Class A Common Stock then beneficially owned by White Lion, would cause White Lion's beneficial ownership of our Class A Common Stock to exceed 9.99% (which we refer to as the "Beneficial Ownership Cap"). The Purchase Agreement also prohibits us from selling or issuing shares of our Class A Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement in excess of {-} (which we refer to as the "Exchange Cap"), unless we obtain stockholder approval to do so, or unless sales of shares of our Class A Common Stock are made at a price equal to or greater than ${-} as required under applicable Nasdaq rules. Neither the Beneficial Ownership Cap nor the Exchange Cap (to the extent applicable under Nasdaq rules) may be amended or waived under the Purchase Agreement.

<sup>(2)</sup> Applicable percentage ownership is based on {-}shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding as of September {-}, 2025.

<sup>(3)</sup> Assumes the sale of all shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus.

<sup>(4)</sup> The business address of White Lion Capital, LLC is 17631 Ventura Blvd., Suite 1008, Encino, CA 91316. White Lion's principal business is that of a private investor. Dmitriy Slobodskiy Jr., Yash Thukral, Sam Yaffa, and Nathan Yee are the managing principals of White Lion. Therefore, each of Messrs. Slobodskiy Jr., Thukral, Yaffa, and Yee may be deemed to have sole voting control and investment discretion over securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly by the Selling Stockholder. We have been advised that White Lion is not a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or an independent broker-dealer. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by Messrs. Slobodskiy Jr., Thukral, Yaffa, and Yee as to beneficial ownership of the securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly by the Selling Stockholder.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

The resale of the {-} shares of our Class A Common Stock being registered by this prospectus are being effected by White Lion (as the Selling Stockholder). The shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by White Lion directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The sale of the shares of our Class A Common Stock offered by this prospectus could be effected in one or more of the following methods:

● ordinary brokers' transactions;

● transactions involving cross or block trades;

● through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents;

● "at the market" into an existing market for our Class A Common Stock;

● in other ways not involving market makers or established business markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents;

● in privately negotiated transactions; or

● any combination of the foregoing.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares of our Class A Common Stock may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state, or an exemption from such state's registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.

White Lion is an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.

White Lion has informed us that it intends to use one or more registered broker-dealers to effectuate all sales, if any, of shares of our Class A Common Stock that it has acquired and may in the future acquire from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Such sales will be made at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price. Each such registered broker-dealer will be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. White Lion has informed us that each such broker-dealer will receive commissions from White Lion that will not exceed customary brokerage commissions.

Brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the shares of our Class A Common Stock offered by this prospectus may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the purchasers, for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent, of the shares sold by White Lion through this prospectus. The compensation paid to any such particular broker-dealer by any such purchasers of shares of our Class A Common Stock sold by White Lion may be less than or in excess of customary commissions. Neither we nor White Lion can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive from any purchasers of shares of our Class A Common Stock sold by White Lion.

We know of no existing arrangements between White Lion or any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares of our Class A Common Stock offered by this prospectus.

We may from time to time file with the SEC one or more supplements to this prospectus or amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to amend, supplement or update information contained in this prospectus, including, if and when required under the Securities Act, to disclose certain information relating to a particular sale of shares offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholder, including the names of any brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of such shares by White Lion, any compensation paid by White Lion to any such brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents, and any other required information.

We will pay the expenses incident to the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of the shares of our Class A Common Stock covered by this prospectus by White Lion.

We also have agreed to indemnify White Lion against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of shares of our Class A Common Stock offered hereby, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. White Lion has agreed to indemnify us against liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from certain written information furnished to us by White Lion specifically for use in this prospectus, or, if such indemnity is unavailable, to contribute amounts required to be paid in respect of such liabilities. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable.

We estimate that the total expenses for the offering will be approximately $65,000.

White Lion has represented to us that at no time prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement has White Lion or its agents, representatives or affiliates engaged in or effected, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, any short sale (as such term is defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act) of our Class A Common Stock, which establishes a net short position with respect to our Class A Common Stock. White Lion has agreed that during the term of the Purchase Agreement, none of White Lion or any of its agents, representatives or affiliates will enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any of the foregoing transactions.

We have advised White Lion that it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes White Lion, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares offered by this prospectus.

This offering will terminate on the date that all shares of our Class A Common Stock offered by this prospectus have been sold by White Lion.

Our Class A Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "TWNP".
