Article II

REGISTRATIONS and Offerings

 

2.1           Shelf
Registration.

 

2.1.1        Filing.
Within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, the Company shall submit to or file with the Commission a Registration Statement
for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”) or a Registration Statement for a Shelf
Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”), if the Company is then eligible to use a Form S-3
Shelf, in each case, covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such
submission or filing) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf declared
effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (a) the ninetieth (90th) calendar day
following the filing date thereof if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement
and (b) the tenth (10th) business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the
Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Such Shelf shall
provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available
to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf
continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and
in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event
the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf
(and any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use
Form S-3. The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1.1, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to
Section 3.4.

 

    6

     

    

 

2.1.2        Subsequent
Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities
are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly
as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any
order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business
days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named
therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause
such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after
the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement
(as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405
promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable
Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable
Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to
use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form. The Company’s obligation
under this Section 2.1.2, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.

 

2.1.3        Additional
Registrable Securities. Subject to Section 3.4, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not
registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon written request of a Sponsor Holder or an Embark Holder, shall
promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s
option, any then available Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or by filing a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement
and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement
shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable
Securities to be so covered (i) twice per calendar year for the Sponsor Holders, collectively, and (ii) twice per calendar
year for the Embark Holders, collectively.

 

    7

     

    

 

2.1.4        Requests
for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. Subject to Section 3.4, following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, at any time
and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, any one or more Holders (each, a “Demanding
Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered
pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only
be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the
Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of
underwriting discounts and commissions, of at least $100 million (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests
for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of
Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Subject to Section 2.4.4, the Company shall
have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment
banks), subject to the initial Demanding Holder’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
The Sponsor Holders, collectively, may demand not more than two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns and the Embark Holders, collectively,
may demand not more than three (3) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns, in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any
twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effect any Underwritten Offering
pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.

 

2.1.5        Reduction
of Underwritten Offering. If the underwriter in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown advises the Demanding Holders in writing that marketing
factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Demanding Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable
Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included
in the underwriting (such maximum number of such securities, the “Maximum Number of Securities”) shall be allocated
among all participating Holders thereof, including the Demanding Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable
Securities of the Company owned by each participating Holder; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable
Securities to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the
underwriting.

 

2.1.6        Withdrawal.
Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten
Shelf Takedown, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to withdraw
from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”)
to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided
that one or more remaining participating Holders may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum
Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by such
participating Holders, as applicable. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten
Shelf Takedown by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of Section 2.1.4, unless either (i) such Demanding Holder
has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Shelf Takedown or (ii) such Demanding Holder reimburses the Company for all Registration
Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder, a pro rata portion of such
Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in
such Underwritten Shelf Takedown); provided that, if one or more participating Holders elect to continue an Underwritten Shelf
Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten
Shelf Takedown demanded by such participating Holders for purposes of Section 2.1.4. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal
Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Shelf
Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses
incurred in connection with a Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.6, other than if a Demanding
Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this Section 2.1.6.

 

    8

     

    

 

2.2           Piggyback
Registration.

 

2.2.1        Piggyback
Rights. Subject to Section 2.4.3 and the terms of any lock-up contained in the Sponsor Support Agreement and/or the Bylaws,
if the Company or any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement
under the Securities Act with respect to the Registration of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable
for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of security holders of the Company (or by the Company
and by any security holders of the Company including, without limitation, an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1),
other than a Registration Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee
stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing
security holders, (iii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject
to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iv) for an offering of debt (other than warrants)
that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (v) for a dividend reinvestment plan or (vi) filed to register equity
securities issued in connection with the Subscription Agreements, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering
to all of the Applicable Holders as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such
Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the applicable “red herring”
prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities
to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters,
if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Applicable Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in
such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Applicable Holders may request in writing within five (5) days
after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”). As used herein,
 “Applicable Holder” means any Holder of Registrable Securities that are not subject to an applicable Lock-up
Period as of the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf
Registration, the final prospectus or prospectus supplement for such offering. Subject to Section 2.2.2, the Company shall
cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable Securities requested
by the Applicable Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar
securities of the Company included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities
in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in
a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company.

 

    9

     

    

 

2.2.2        Reduction
of Piggyback Registration. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by holders of Registrable
Securities to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine
in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering
only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will
not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling security holders
according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling security holder or in such other proportions
as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling security holders). For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment,
for any selling security holder which is a holder of Registrable Securities and which is a partnership or corporation, the partners,
retired partners and holders of capital stock of such holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners
and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling security holder,”
and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling security holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares
carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling security holder,” as defined
in this sentence.

 

2.2.3        Piggyback
Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdraw from an Underwritten
Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by Section 2.1.6) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback
Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of
his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed
with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration,
the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration
used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal
by persons or entities pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission
in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include a Shelf) at any time prior to the effectiveness
of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than Section 2.1.6), the
Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal
under this Section 2.2.3.

 

2.2.4        Unlimited
Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, subject to Section 2.1.6, any Piggyback Registration effected
pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under Section 2.1.4
hereof.

 

    10

     

    

 

2.3           Market
Stand-off. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company (other than a Block Trade or Other Coordinated
Offering), if requested by the managing Underwriters, each Holder that is an executive officer, director or Holder in excess of five
percent (5%) of the outstanding Common Stock (and for which it is customary for such a Holder to agree to a lock-up) agrees that it shall
not Transfer any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such offering pursuant
to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the ninety (90)-day period (or such shorter time agreed
to by the managing Underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering, except to a Related Holder (as defined in Section 7.12
of the Bylaws) or as expressly otherwise permitted by such lock-up agreement or in the event the managing Underwriters otherwise agree
by written consent. Each such Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in
each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders).

 

2.4           Block
Trades; Other Coordinated Offerings.

 

2.4.1        Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Article II, but subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an
effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in (a) an underwritten block trade or similar
transaction or other transaction with a two (2)-day or less marketing period (a “Block Trade”) or (b) an
 “at the market” or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal,
(an “Other Coordinated Offering”), in each case, with an anticipated aggregate offering price of, either (x) at
least $50 million or (y) all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder, then such Demanding Holder only needs
to notify the Company of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering at least five (5) business days prior to the day such offering
is to commence and the Company shall as expeditiously as possible use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade
or Other Coordinated Offering; provided that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing
to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any
Underwriters, brokers, sales agents or placement agents prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration
statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.

 

2.4.2        Prior
to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or
Other Coordinated Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering
shall have the right to submit a Withdrawal Notice to the Company, the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) and any brokers, sale agents
or placement agents (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Block
Trade or Other Coordinated Offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.4.2.

 

2.4.3        Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 2.2 shall not apply to a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering initiated
by a Demanding Holder pursuant to this Agreement.

 

2.4.4        The Demanding Holder in a Block Trade or
Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to select the Underwriters and any brokers, sale agents or placement agents (if any)
for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering (in each case, which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized
investment banks).

 

    11

     

    

 

2.4.5 A Holder in the aggregate may demand no
more than two (2) Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.4 in any twelve (12) month
period. For the avoidance of doubt, any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering effected pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall
not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1.4 hereof.

 

Article III

COMPANY PROCEDURES

 

3.1           General
Procedures. In connection with any Shelf and/or Shelf Takedown, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect
such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof (and
including all manners of distribution in such Registration Statement as Holders may reasonably request in connection with the filing
of such Registration Statement and as permitted by law, including distribution of Registrable Securities to a Holder’s members,
securityholders or partners), and pursuant thereto the Company shall:

 

3.1.1        prepare
and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such
Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities;

 

3.1.2        prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the
Prospectus, as may be reasonably requested by any Holder that holds at least five percent (5%) of the Registrable Securities registered
on such Registration Statement (including warrants on an as-exercised basis) or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be
required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or
rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration
Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the
Prospectus;

 

3.1.3        prior
to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters,
if any, and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies of such
Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including
all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including
each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such
Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such Holders;

 

    12

     

    

 

3.1.4        prior
to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable
Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United
States as any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution)
may reasonably request (or provide evidence that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or qualification) and (ii) take
such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by
such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other
acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration
Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then
otherwise so subject;

 

3.1.5        take
all actions necessary to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each national securities exchange on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed;

 

3.1.6        provide
a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date
of such Registration Statement;

 

3.1.7        advise
each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any
stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal
if such stop order should be issued;

 

3.1.8        at
least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration
Statement or Prospectus (or such shorter period of time as may be (a) necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable or (b) advisable
in order to reduce the number of days that sales are suspended pursuant to Section 3.4), furnish a copy thereof to each seller of
such Registrable Securities or its counsel (excluding any exhibits thereto and any filing made under the Exchange Act that is to be incorporated
by reference therein);

 

3.1.9        notify
the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act,
of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4;

 

3.1.10      in
the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent
pursuant to such Registration, permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters or other financial institutions facilitating
such Underwritten Offering, Block Trade, Other Coordinated Offering or other sale pursuant to such Registration, if any, and any attorney,
consultant or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s or entity’s own expense,
in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information
reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, financial institution, attorney, consultant or accountant in connection
with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives, Underwriters or financial institutions agree to confidentiality
arrangements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

 

    13

     

    

 

3.1.11      obtain
a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten
Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration
(subject to such broker, placement agent or sales agent providing such certification or representation reasonably requested by the Company’s
independent registered public accountants and the Company’s counsel) in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily
covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest
of the participating Holders;

 

3.1.12      in
the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent
pursuant to such Registration, on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an
opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders,
the broker, placement agents or sales agent, if any and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration
in respect of which such opinion is being given as the participating Holders, broker, placement agent, sales agent or Underwriter may
reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters;

 

3.1.13      in
the event of any Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent
pursuant to such Registration, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting or other purchase or sales agreement, in
usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter or the broker, placement agent or sales agent of such offering or sale;

 

3.1.14      make
available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12)
months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement
which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule then
in effect), and which requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if the Company timely files the information required by Forms 10-Q,
10-K and 8-K under the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act;

 

3.1.15      with
respect to an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available
senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by
the Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering; and

 

3.1.16      otherwise,
in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the participating Holders,
consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with such Registration.

 

    14

     

    

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent if such Underwriter
or broker, sales agent or placement agent has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other offering
involving a registration as an Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent, as applicable.

 

3.2           Registration
Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the
Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions
and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,”
all fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

 

3.3           Requirements
for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not timely
provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the
applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary
to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person or entity party to this Agreement
may participate in any Underwritten Offering or other offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated
by the Company hereunder unless such person or entity (i) agrees to sell such person’s or entity’s securities on the
basis provided in any underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) timely completes
and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting or other agreements and
other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements.
The exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration
of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

 

3.4           Suspension
of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.

 

3.4.1        Upon
receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall
forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus
correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as
soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until he, she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus
may be resumed.

 

3.4.2        If
the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (a) require
the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that
are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company shall have the right, upon giving prompt written
notice of such action to the Holders (which notice shall not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such delay or suspension),
delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined
in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose; provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend
the Registration Statement on more than three occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90)
total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.4.2,
the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to
any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities until such Holder receives written notice from the
Company that such sales or offers of Registrable Securities may be resumed, and in each case maintain the confidentiality of such notice
and its contents.

 

    15

     

    

 

3.4.3        During
the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and
ending on a date ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues
to actively employ, in good faith, all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration
Statement, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company
and Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt
written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4 or 2.4
for not more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days or more than one hundred twenty (120) total calendar days in each case during
any twelve (12)-month period.

 

3.5           Reporting
Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company
under the Exchange Act, covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and
file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or
15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided
that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval
System shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.5. The Company further
covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to
enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect). Upon the
request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it
has complied with such requirements.

 

Article IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

 

4.1           Indemnification.

 

4.1.1        The
Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents
and each person or entity who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) caused by, resulting
from, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference
in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or
alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except
insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder
expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person or entity who controls
such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification
of the Holder, subject to customary exclusions.

 

    16

     

    

 

  

4.1.2        In
connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish (or
cause to be furnished) to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection
with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by
law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each person or entity who controls the Company (within the meaning
of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated
by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any
omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
but only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or
affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the
obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each
such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale
of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters,
their officers, directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same
extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

 

4.1.3        Any
person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with
respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s
right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless
in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist
with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled
to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all
parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party
a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.
No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms
of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party
or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party
of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

    17

     

    

 

4.1.4        The
indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the
transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions
as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s
indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

 

4.1.5        If
the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including
any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not
made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by in the case of an omission), such indemnifying
party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 4.1.5
shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount
paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth in Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket
expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would
not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any
other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.1.5.
No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall
be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof shall also require the written consent of each
Embark Holder, so long as such Embark Holder and its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by such Holder and its affiliates as of the Closing; and provided, further,
that any amendment or supplement hereto or waiver hereof that affects any Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of securities of
the Company, in a manner that is adverse as compared to and materially different from other Holders (in such capacity) shall require
the consent of the Holder(s) so adversely affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto
or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate
as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this
Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such
party.

5.7           Other
Registration Rights. Other than (i) the Third Party Investor Stockholders who have registration rights with respect to their
Investor Securities (and shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants constituting Investor Securities) pursuant to
their respective Subscription Agreements and (ii) as provided in the Warrant Agreement, dated as of January 12, 2021, between
the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company represents and warrants that no person or entity, other
than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to
include such securities of the Company in any Registration Statement filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account
or for the account of any other person or entity. For so long as any Holder, together with its affiliates, holds, in the aggregate, at
least five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Company hereby agrees and covenants that it will
not grant rights to register any Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) pursuant to the Securities
Act that are more favorable, pari passu or senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder, without the prior written consent of such
Holder (such rights “Competing Registration Rights”). Further, the Company represents and warrants that, except
as provided in the first sentence of this Section 5.7, this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement
or agreement with similar terms and conditions, and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement,
the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

  

5.8           Term.
This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (b) with respect
to any Holder, on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The provisions of Section 3.5 and
Article IV shall survive any termination.

 

5.9           Holder
Information. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to the Company the total number of Registrable Securities
held by such Holder in order for the Company to make determinations hereunder.

 

5.10         Additional
Holders; Joinder. In addition to persons or entities who may become Holders pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof, subject to
the prior written consent of each Holder that, together with its affiliates, then holds, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%)
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, the Company may make any person or entity who acquires Common Stock or rights
to acquire Common Stock after the date hereof a party to this Agreement (each such person or entity, an “Additional Holder”)
by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Additional Holder in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (a
 “Joinder”). Such Joinder shall specify the rights and obligations of the applicable Additional Holder under
this Agreement; provided that any rights granted to any such Additional Holder to demand Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be
separate from and in addition to the rights of the Sponsor Holders and Embark Holders under Section 2.1.4. Upon the execution
and delivery and subject to the terms of a Joinder by such Additional Holder, the Common Stock of the Company then owned, or underlying
any rights then owned, by such Additional Holder (the “Additional Holder Common Stock”) shall be Registrable
Securities to the extent provided herein and therein and such Additional Holder shall be a Holder under this Agreement with respect to
such Additional Holder Common Stock.

 

5.11         Severability.
It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under
the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of
this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such
provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting
the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in
such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement
or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

    21

     

    

 

5.12         Removal
of NG Capital. NG Capital hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) NG Capital was a party to the Original RRA solely as a representative
of certain Persons who had the right to subsequently elect to purchase certain shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares
of Common Stock, pursuant to (and by execution of a joinder to) that certain Amended and Restated Forward Purchase Agreement between
the Company and NG Capital, dated as of April 21, 2021; (b) each of the Persons that made such an election has on the date
hereof, as a Third Party Investor Stockholder, directly purchased such shares of Common Stock and warrants, as Investor Securities, pursuant
to such Forward Purchase Agreement and has been directly granted registration rights pursuant hereto with respect to its Investor Securities
(and shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants constituting Investor Securities); (c) NG Capital hereby consents
to the amendment and restatement of the Original RRA effectuated by this Agreement; and (d) NG Capital and the Company hereby agree
agrees that, except for this Section 5.12 (which, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, is for the express
benefit of the Company and NG Capital and cannot be amended without the prior written consent of each), NG Capital shall not be deemed
to be a party to this Agreement and shall have no rights or obligations under the Original RRA or this Agreement.

 

5.13         Entire
Agreement; Restatement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter, including the Original
RRA, which hereafter shall no longer be of any force or effect.

Execution Version

 

PROXY VOTING AGREEMENT

 

This PROXY VOTING AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 10, 2021 by and among Brandon Moak (collectively with his Permitted
Transferee (as defined in the Charter (as defined below) listed on the signature page attached hereto), the “Stockholder”),
Alex Rodrigues (the “Proxyholder”) and, solely for purposes of Sections 1.4, 2.3, 2.7, 4.1
and 4.2 and Article V of this Agreement, Embark Trucks Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
The Permitted Transferees listed on the signature page attached hereto have also executed this Agreement and acknowledge and agree to
the terms set forth herein.

 

IN CONSIDERATION OF $100.00
in cash from the Proxyholder to the Stockholder and the mutual promises, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained
herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE
I

VOTING

 

Section 1.1           
Voting Arrangements. Stockholder hereby agrees that Proxyholder shall vote all shares of Class B Common Stock (as defined
in the Charter) of the Company, which Stockholder now holds, directly or indirectly, or hereafter acquires or as to which Stockholder
otherwise exercises voting or dispositive authority (together, all such shares referred to in this sentence, the “Shares”),
in Proxyholder’s sole discretion, on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company at an annual or special meeting
of stockholders or through the solicitation of a written consent of stockholders (whether of any individual class of stock or of multiple
classes of stock voting together) other than with respect to the following matters (together, the “Excepted Matters”):
(a) any amendment, restatement, alteration, repeal or waiver of any provision of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, as such may be amended from time to time (the “Charter”) or the Bylaws of the Company, as such may
be amended from time to time (the “Bylaws”), if such action would disproportionately and adversely impact Stockholder,
as compared to other holders of the same class(es) of capital stock of the Company and (b) any other matter the outcome of the vote on
which would disproportionately and adversely impact Stockholder, as compared to other holders of the same class(es) of capital stock of
the Company. With respect to the Excepted Matters, Stockholder shall have the right to (x) instruct Proxyholder in writing as to the manner
in which the Shares shall be voted or (y) vote the Shares in person or by action by written consent, as applicable, in which case Stockholder
shall notify Proxyholder in writing that Stockholder intends to so vote. In addition, Proxyholder shall not have any right to waive notice
by the Company to Stockholder. Such instruction or notice shall be provided to Proxyholder at least five (5) days prior to the date of
any meeting of stockholders at which such matter is to be voted upon or as promptly as reasonably practicable upon Stockholder becoming
aware that such matter is to be acted upon by written consent. In the event that Stockholder does not so instruct Proxyholder or notify
Proxyholder of Stockholder’s intention to so vote or act by written consent, Proxyholder shall abstain from voting the Shares in
respect of such Excepted Matters. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Stockholder shall retain all rights as a stockholder
of the Company under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, including, without
limitation, with respect to any appraisal rights (to the extent applicable and not otherwise waived or subsumed by a matter over which
Proxyholder is otherwise entitled to exercise pursuant to this Agreement).

 

     

     

    

 

Section 1.2           
Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. To secure the Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement and to secure Proxyholder’s
right to vote the Stockholder’s Shares in accordance with this Agreement, the Stockholder hereby appoints Proxyholder as its proxy,
with full power of substitution and re-substitution, until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof,
as the Stockholder’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, for and in the Stockholder’s name, place and stead, solely to vote
Stockholder’s Shares at any annual, special or other meeting of the stockholders of the Company called to vote, and at any adjournment
or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action of the stockholders of the Company taken by written consent. Proxyholder shall,
promptly upon any exercise of the proxy granted hereby, provide Stockholder with copies of all documents related to or executed in connection
with such exercise by Proxyholder. The proxy and power granted by the Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1.2 are coupled with
an interest and are given to secure the performance of such party’s duties under this Agreement. The proxy and power will be irrevocable
for the term hereof.

 

Section 1.3           
Illustrative Examples. Except to the extent constituting an Excepted Matter, the matters on which Proxyholder shall be entitled
to vote or act pursuant to Section 1.1 include, but are not limited to, the following, which are presented here solely by
way of example:

 

(a)        
Election, replacement or removal of members of the Board of Directors of the Company;

 

(b)        
Amendments to the Charter or Bylaws;

 

(c)        
Mergers involving the Company or any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; provided,
that any distribution to the Company stockholders of the proceeds of such sale or disposition are made in accordance with the Charter;

 

(d)        
Acquisitions by the Company or its subsidiaries; and

 

(e)        
Adoption by the Company of a rights plan or similar takeover defensive arrangements, or amendments thereof

 

Section 1.4           
Reciprocal Voting Rights.

 

(a)               Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that Stockholder holds a number of Shares representing a greater
percentage of voting power in the Company than Proxyholder (including, for the purposes of this Section 1.4, any of
Proxyholder’s Permitted Transferees) at any time while this Agreement is in effect, then, until such time that Stockholder no
longer holds a number Shares representing a greater percentage of voting power in the Company than Proxyholder (such period, the
 “Reciprocal Voting Rights Period”), Proxyholder acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Proxyholder shall cease having
any voting rights with respect to Stockholder’s Shares, including, without limitation, any proxy power pursuant to Section
1.2, (b) Stockholder shall have all the same voting rights and privileges with respect to Proxyholder’s Shares that
Proxyholder holds in connection with Stockholder’s Shares pursuant to this Agreement (such rights of Stockholder, the
 “Reciprocal Voting Rights”) and (c) Proxyholder shall be deemed to have made any acknowledgement or agreement
required to be made Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement, which shall be deemed made on the triggering of the Reciprocal Voting
Rights. Furthermore, during any Reciprocal Voting Rights Period, this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a way to give effect to
the Reciprocal Voting Rights, including, without limitation, that all references to “Stockholder” shall refer to Alex
Rodrigues (and any Permitted Transferee of Alex Rodrigues) and all references to “Proxyholder” shall refer to Brandon
Moak.

 

     

     

    

 

(b)              
The Company may be notified (by delivery to the secretary of the Company) by either the Proxyholder or the Stockholder of Reciprocal
Voting Rights becoming effective, provided that the notifying party deliver simultaneously to the non-notifying party the notice delivered
to the Company in accordance with Section 5.3. The Company shall be entitled to rely upon such notice if the non-notifying party
does not provide a written objection to both the Company and the notifying party within seven (7) days of receipt by the Company and non-notifying
party stating that it does not believe the Reciprocal Voting Rights are then in effect. During such seven (7) day period, the Reciprocal
Voting Rights shall not apply. If such an objection is provided, then the Reciprocal Voting Rights shall only be recognized by the Company
upon (x) written notice executed by both the Stockholder and Proxyholder (or their estates or duly appointed representative in the event
of such parties death) and delivered to the secretary of the Company or (y) a final judicial determination that such provision is then
in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be entitled to rely on this Agreement as currently contemplated until such time
as it is notified pursuant to this Section 1.4(b) that the Reciprocal Voting Rights are then in effect.

 

(c)              
Upon the effectiveness of the Reciprocal Voting Rights, Proxyholder specifically acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of
Section 1.2 shall apply to the Proxyholder at such time.

 

ARTICLE
II

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

 

Section 2.1           
Stock Splits, Dividends, Etc. In the event of any issuance of shares of the Company’s voting securities hereafter
to Stockholder (including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or
the like), in relation to its Shares, such additional shares shall automatically become subject to this Agreement.

 

Section 2.2           
Specific Enforcement. It is agreed and understood that monetary damages would not adequately compensate an injured party
for the breach of this Agreement by any party, that this Agreement shall be specifically enforceable, and that any breach or threatened
breach of this Agreement shall be the proper subject of a temporary or permanent injunction or restraining order. Further, each party
hereto waives any claim or defense that there is an adequate remedy at law for such breach or threatened breach.

 

Section 2.3            Securities
Rules & Regulations. The Stockholder and Proxyholder agree and understand that the Stockholder and/or Proxyholder may become
subject to the registration and/or reporting requirements, rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or any state and federal securities laws or
regulations with respect to the Shares (collectively, the “Securities Laws”). The Stockholder and Proxyholder
agree to use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to comply with the Securities Laws and to reasonably assist each
other in complying with the Securities Laws in a timely and prompt manner. Such compliance may include, by way of example and
without limiting the foregoing, Section 16 filings and the filing, updating and maintaining of Schedule 13G and/or Schedule 13D
filings, in each case, under the Exchange Act. The Company acknowledges and agrees to (a) assist in making Section 16 filings for
the Stockholder and the Proxyholder in the same manner as it provides for the Company’s other Section 16 filers and (b)
reasonably provide any additional information requested by the Stockholder and the Proxyholder to otherwise comply with the
Securities Laws.

 

     

     

    

 

Section 2.4           
Proxyholder Liability. The Proxyholder shall not be liable for any error of judgment nor for any act done or omitted, nor
for any mistake of fact or law nor for anything which the Proxyholder may do or refrain from doing in good faith, nor shall the Proxyholder
have any accountability hereunder, except for his own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Furthermore, upon any judicial
or other inquiry or investigation of or concerning the Proxyholder’s acts pursuant to his rights and powers as Proxyholder, such
acts shall be deemed reasonable and in the best interests of the Stockholders unless proved to the contrary by clear and convincing evidence.

 

Section 2.5           
Consideration. In connection with this Agreement and as partial consideration for the obligations of Stockholder hereunder,
Proxyholder shall pay (by check, cash or other valid consideration) to Stockholder the sum of $100.00.

 

Section 2.6           
Not In Connection With Employment. Stockholder and the Proxyholder agree, acknowledge and reiterate that: (a) this Agreement
is not being entered into as a condition of or in connection with Stockholder’s employment or consulting relationship with the Company;
(b) this Agreement is being entered into at the request of the Proxyholder in his individual capacity as a stockholder of the Company,
and is not being entered into at the request of the Company or the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or any member of its Board
of Directors; and (c) Stockholder is entering into this Agreement with the express understanding that Stockholder is not being required
to enter into this Agreement and that, if Stockholder had declined to enter into this Agreement, Stockholder would not suffer any negative
employment or consulting relationship consequences.

 

Section 2.7           
Legends. The Company shall cause each certificate or book entry representing the Shares held by the Stockholder and the
Proxyholder, and their respective Permitted Transferees listed on the signature page attached hereto, or any permitted assignee of the
Stockholder or Proxyholder to bear the following legend or notation:

 

“THE SHARES
EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A VOTING AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY (A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED
FROM THE COMPANY) WHICH INCLUDES PROVISIONS POTENTIALLY RESTRICTING THE STOCKHOLDER’S RIGHT TO VOTE OR TRANSFER HIS OR ITS ENTIRE
INTEREST IN THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY, AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED
TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SAID VOTING AGREEMENT.”

 

     

     

    

 

ARTICLE
III

TRANSFER OF SHARES

 

Section 3.1           
Transfer. “Transfer” shall have the meaning set forth in the Charter, but shall apply to all Shares and
not only Class B Common Stock (as defined in the Charter).

 

Section 3.2           
Transfer Requirements. In the event of any Transfer by the Stockholder, (a) the Stockholder shall inform the Company and
the Proxyholder of such Transfer and (b) in the case of a Permitted Transfer (as defined in the Charter) of Class B Common Stock in accordance
with the terms of the Charter, the transferee shall furnish the Proxyholder and the Company with a written agreement to be bound by the
provisions of this Agreement. Such Permitted Transfer shall not be valid unless and until the Company and the Proxyholder receive such
written agreement. In the event of any Transfer by the Stockholder, the Stockholder shall inform the Company and the Proxyholder of such
Transfer no less than two (2) business days prior to such Transfer. In the case of a Permitted Transfer, the transferee shall be treated
as a “Stockholder” for purposes of this Agreement. In no event shall a transferee be required to sign a joinder or other written
agreement other than in connection with a Permitted Transfer. For avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not permit the transfer of any
of the Shares to a Permitted Transferred on its books or issue new certificates representing any such Shares unless and until the transferee
to whom such Shares are to be transferred shall have executed the written agreement referred to in this Article III.

 

Section 3.3           
Transfer of Voting Rights. Stockholder shall not deposit (or permit the deposit of) any of its Shares in a voting trust
or grant any proxy or enter into any voting agreement or similar agreement in contravention of the obligations of Stockholder under this
Agreement.

 

ARTICLE
IV

TERMINATION

 

Section 4.1           
Termination.

 

(a)               This
Agreement shall terminate in its entirety, and neither the Proxyholder nor the Stockholder shall have any further rights or
obligations hereunder, upon the earliest to occur of (i) the consummation of a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in the
Charter), (ii) the express written consent of the Proxyholder, (iii) the Sunset Date (as defined in the Charter) with regard to
the Proxyholder (but excluding as a result of Proxyholder’s death or Disability (as defined below) or termination of
Proxyholder’s employment with the Company for any reason, including as a result of death or Disability), (iv) the death or
Disability of Proxyholder, (v) Proxyholder’s breach of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any attempt by
Proxyholder to vote on an Excepted Matter, (vi) the date that is nine months following the last
date on which the Proxyholder provided services to the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) following the termination of
Proxyholder’s employment with the Company for any reason, other than as a result of Proxyholder’s death or Disability,
and (vii) the date that is nine months following the last date on which Stockholder provided services to the Company (or any of its
subsidiaries) following the termination of Stockholder’s employment by the Company without “cause” or the
resignation by Stockholder for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in Stockholder’s employment agreement with
the Company). For clarity, Article I shall continue to be applicable to any Shares that have been the subject of a Permitted
Transfer until this Agreement terminates in accordance with this Section 4.1. For purposes of this Agreement,
 “Disability” shall mean the permanent and total disability of Proxyholder such that Proxyholder is unable to
engage in any substantial gainful activity (including, without limitation, performing Proxyholder’s duties to the Company or
obligations under this Agreement) by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which would reasonably be
expected to result in death within twelve (12) months or which has lasted or would reasonably be expected to last for a continuous
period of not less than three (3) months as determined by a licensed medical practitioner; provided, however, that
Proxyholder shall be deemed Disabled immediately upon Proxyholder been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
incompetent to manage Proxyholder’s own affairs.

 

     

     

    

 

(b)              
The Company may be notified (by delivery to the secretary of the Company) of the termination of this Agreement by either the Proxyholder
or the Stockholder, provided that the notifying party deliver simultaneously to the non-notifying party the notice delivered to the Company
in accordance with Section 5.3. The Company shall be entitled to rely upon such notice if the non-notifying party does not provide
a written objection to both the Company and the notifying party within seven (7) days of receipt by the Company and non-notifying party
stating that it does not believe this Agreement has been terminated. During such seven (7) day period, the Company shall not deem the
Agreement to be terminated. If such an objection is provided, then the termination of this Agreement shall only be recognized by the Company
upon (x) written notice executed by both the Stockholder and Proxyholder (or their estates or duly appointed representative in the event
of such parties death) and delivered to the secretary of the Company or (y) a final judicial determination that such provision is then
in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be entitled to rely on this Agreement as currently contemplated until such time
as it is notified pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) that the Agreement has been terminated.

 

Section 4.2           
Removal of Legend. Upon the earlier of (a) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.1 and (b)
a Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer) or other sale or disposition of any of the Shares in accordance with this Agreement, the
legend or notation set forth in Section 2.7 shall be removed and the Company shall or shall cause its transfer agent to issue
a stock certificate (either in physical certificated form or by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository
Trust Company) free from the legend or notation required by Section 2.7, to the holder of the Shares subject to such legend (or
notation), promptly, but in any event no later than three (3) business days following the delivery by such holder to the Company and its
transfer agent of reasonable assurances and evidence that such Transfer or other sale or disposition of such Shares is in accordance with
this Agreement. Upon the delivery of such reasonable assurances and evidence to the Company, the Company shall provide its transfer agent
with such documentation as required by the transfer agent for it to effect the removal of such legend or notation and the issuance of
such Shares. The Company agrees to cooperate with the parties hereto, and with its transfer agent, in order to facilitate the orderly
and efficient removal of the legend or notation upon a Transfer of Shares in compliance with this Agreement.

 

     

     

    

 

Section 4.3           Termination
upon Transfer of Shares Other than a Permitted Transfer.  This Agreement shall cease to apply to any Shares that are Transferred
(other than a Permitted Transfer) by Stockholder.

 

ARTICLE
V

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 5.1           
No Ownership Interest. Except as provided for in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to
vest in any party other than Stockholder any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any of the Shares
held by Stockholder and all rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to such Shares shall remain vested in and belong to
Stockholder.

 

Section 5.2           
Expenses. Following the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for all costs, fees and other
expenses in connection with the Stockholder’s and the Proxyholder’s Section 13 and Section 16 filings contemplated in Section
2.3, but the Proxyholder and the Stockholder shall otherwise bear their own expenses for any matters related to this Agreement; provided,
however, that each of Stockholder’s and Proxyholder’s right to reimbursement from the Company for costs, fees and other
expenses associated with their respective Section 13 filings shall not exceed $25,000 in any calendar year.

 

Section 5.3           
Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively
given upon the earlier to occur of actual receipt or: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed
electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; or if not, then on the next business day, (c) five
(5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit

specified by notice given in accordance with this Section 5.3).

 

Section 5.4           
Interpretation. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import
when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section
references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including”
are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” No provision of this Agreement
shall be construed to require Stockholder or Proxyholder or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates to take any action that
would violate any applicable law.

 

Section 5.5           
Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any
applicable law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect
so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to
any party.

 

     

     

    

 

Section 5.6           
Amendments and Waivers. Any term hereof may be amended and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either generally or
in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the prior written consent of (a) the Stockholder and
(b) the Proxyholder. Any amendment or waiver so effected shall be binding upon all the parties hereto; provided, further,
that any amendment to Sections 2.3, 2.7 and 4.2 and Article V shall require the consent of the Company.

 

Section 5.7           
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other documents and instruments referred to herein or attached thereto,
constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the
parties, or any of them, with respect to the voting of the Shares.

 

Section 5.8           
Parties in Interest; Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto
and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any
other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be assignable
by any party hereto without the express written consent of the other parties hereto, and any attempt to make any such assignment without
such consent shall be null and void ab initio.

 

Section 5.9           
Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and all disputes between the
parties under or related to the Agreement or the facts and circumstances leading to its execution, whether in contract, tort or otherwise,
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the application of Delaware
principles of conflicts of laws. In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the Court of Chancery or other courts of the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for
leave from such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery or other courts of the State of Delaware, and (d) waives, and agrees not
to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject to the
jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding
is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject
matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court.

 

Section 5.10       
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronic signature and in two (2) or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts
may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of
2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and
validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
