REGISTRATIONS

 

2.1 Demand Registration.

 

2.1.1 Shelf Registration Statement. (a) As soon as practicable
but no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date hereof (the “Filing Date”), the Company shall prepare
and file with (or confidentially submit to) the Commission a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities Act (such registration
statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined
as of two Business Days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have
such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable after the filing thereof and no later than
the earlier of (x) the 60th calendar day (or 80th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will
“review” the Registration Statement) following the Filing Date and (y) the 5th 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 Registration Statement 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 use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Shelf Registration Statement 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 Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit all 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. If, at any time the Company shall have qualified for the use of a Form S-3 or any other form which permits incorporation of
substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the Commission and at such time the Company has an outstanding
Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1, then the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practical, convert such outstanding Shelf Registration
Statement on Form S-1 into a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3.

 

(b) Subject to Section
2.3 and Section 2.4, each of (i) the Holders of a majority-in-interest of the then outstanding number of Registrable Securities
held by the Initial Stockholders or the Permitted Transferees of the Initial Stockholders, (ii) the Holders of a majority-in-interest
of the then outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by the Pico Equityholders or the Permitted Transferees of the Pico Equityholders,
(iii) Cantor or its designees or (iv) GGC or its designees (collectively, the “Demanding Holders”), may make
a written demand from time to time to elect to sell all or any part of their Registrable Securities, with a total offering price reasonably
expected to exceed, in the aggregate, the Minimum Demand Threshold, pursuant to an Underwritten Offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended
method(s) of distribution thereof. The Demanding Holders shall make such election by delivering to the Company a written request (a “Shelf
Underwriting Request”) for such Underwritten Offering specifying the number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding
Holders desire to sell pursuant to such Underwritten Offering (the “Shelf Underwriting”). As promptly as practicable,
but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request, the Company shall give written notice (the “Shelf
Underwriting Notice”) of such Shelf Underwriting Request to the Holders of record of other Registrable Securities registered
on such Shelf Registration Statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”). The Company, subject to Section 2.1.3,
shall include in such Shelf Underwriting (x) the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and (y) the Shelf Registrable Securities
of any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities that shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such Shelf
Underwriting (which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder)
within five (5) days after the receipt of the Shelf Underwriting Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible (and in any event
within fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request), but subject to Section 2.3, use its reasonable
best efforts to effect such Shelf Underwriting. The Company shall, at the request of any Demanding Holders, file any prospectus supplement
or, if the applicable Shelf Registration Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement, any post-effective amendments and otherwise
take any action necessary to include therein all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the Demanding Holders or any
other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities to effect such Shelf Underwriting. Once a Shelf Registration Statement has been declared
effective by the Commission, the Demanding Holders may request, and the Company shall be required to facilitate, (i) an aggregate of three
(3) Shelf Underwritings pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1(b) with respect to any or all Registrable Securities by the Demanding
Holders (other than Cantor and GGC), (ii) one (1) Shelf Underwriting on behalf of Cantor and (iii) one (1) Shelf Underwriting on behalf
of GGC; provided, however, that, in each case, a Shelf Underwriting shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Registration
Statement has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders to be registered on behalf of
the Demanding Holders in such Shelf Underwriting have been sold; and provided, further, that the number of Shelf Underwritings
the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to request shall be reduced by each Demand Registration effected for such Demanding Holder pursuant
to Section 2.1.2.

(c) Block Trades and Other
Coordinated Offerings.

 

 (i) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, at any time and from time to time when an effective Registration Statement is on file with the
Commission, if one or more Demanding Holder(s) wishes to engage in (a) an Underwritten Offering not involving a “roadshow,”
commonly known as a “block trade” (each, a “Block Trade”) or (b) a registered offering through an
Underwriter, broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as Underwriter, agent or principal (each, an “Other Coordinated
Offering”), in each case, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $10 million, then
if such Demanding Holder(s) requires any assistance from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.1.1(c), such Holder shall 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, as promptly as reasonably practicable, the Company shall facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; provided
that the Demanding Holder(s) representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in such Block Trade or Other Coordinated
Offering shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters or brokers, sales agents or placement
agents (each, a “Financial Counterparty”) prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of
the Registration Statement, prospectus and other offering documentation relating to such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.

 

(ii) 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 written notice of withdrawal to the Company, the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) and Financial Counterparty
or Financial Counterparties (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection
with any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.1(c)(ii).

 

(iii) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Section 2.2 shall not apply to any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering
initiated by any Demanding Holder(s) pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1(c).

 

(iv) The
Demanding Holder(s) in any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to select the Underwriters and Financial Counterparties
(if any) for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering (in each case, which shall consist of one or more reputable and nationally
recognized investment banks).

2.1.2 Other Demand
Registration. At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2.1.1(a) is not available for use by
the Holders following such Shelf Registration Statement being declared effective by the Commission (a “Demand Registration
Period”), subject to this Section 2.1.2 and Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, at any time and from time
to time during such Demand Registration Period, the Demanding Holders shall have the right to make a written demand from time to time
to effect one or more registration statements under the Securities Act covering all or any part of their Registrable Securities, with
a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, the Minimum Demand Threshold, by delivering a written demand therefor
to the Company, which written demand shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such Registration and the intended
method(s) of distribution thereof. Any such request by any Demanding Holder pursuant to this Section 2.1.2 is referred to herein
as a “Demand Registration Request,” and the registration so requested is referred to herein as a “Demand
Registration” (with respect to any Demand Registration, the Demanding Holders making such demand for registration being
referred to as the “Initiating Holders”). Subject to Section 2.3, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled
to request (and the Company shall be required to effect) (i) an aggregate of three (3) Demand Registrations pursuant to this subsection
2.1.2 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holders (other than Cantor and GGC), (ii) one (1) Demand
Registration on behalf of Cantor and (iii) one (1) Demand Registration on behalf of GGC; provided, however, that a Demand
Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Registration Statement has become effective and all of the Registrable Securities
requested by the Demanding Holders to be registered on behalf of the Demanding Holders in such Demand Registration have been sold; and
provided, further, that the number of Demand Registrations the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to request shall be reduced
by each Shelf Underwriting effected for such Demanding Holder pursuant to Section 2.1.1(b). The Company shall give written notice
(the “Demand Exercise Notice”) of such Demand Registration Request to each of the Holders of record of Registrable
Securities as promptly as practicable but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of the Demand Registration Request. The Company,
subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.4, shall include in a Demand Registration (x) the Registrable Securities of the Initiating
Holders and (y) the Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Registrable Securities which shall have made a written request to the
Company for inclusion in such registration pursuant to Section 2.1.2 (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable
Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within five (5) days following the receipt of any such Demand Exercise Notice. The
Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, but subject to Section 2.3, use its reasonable best efforts to (x) file or confidentially
submit with the Commission (no later than (A) sixty (60) days from the Company’s receipt of the applicable Demand Registration Request
if the Demand Registration is on Form S-1 or similar long-form registration or (B) thirty (30) days from the Company’s receipt of
the applicable Demand Registration Request if the Demand Registration is on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration), (y) cause
to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable such registration statement under the Securities Act that includes the Registrable
Securities which the Company has been so requested to register, for distribution in accordance with the intended method of distribution
and (z) if requested by the Initiating Holders, obtain acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement relating to such
registration.

 

2.1.3 Reduction
of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting
or Demand Registration, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and any other Holders participating in the Underwritten
Registration (if any) (the “Requesting Holders”) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable
Securities that such Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the
Company desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which a Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written
contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum
number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the
timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such
securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten
Offering, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based
on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included
in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders
have collectively requested be included in such Underwritten Registration (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”))
that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; provided, that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder
that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining Holders in like manner; (ii) second, to the extent that
the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities
that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that
the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other equity
securities of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual
arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.1.4 Demand Registration
Withdrawal. A majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating a Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration, pursuant to a
Registration under subsection 2.1.1 or 2.1.2 shall have the right in their sole discretion to withdraw from a Registration
pursuant to such Demand Registration upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention
to withdraw from such Registration prior to (i) in the case of a Shelf Underwriting, the filing of a preliminary prospectus supplement
setting forth the terms of the Underwritten Offering with the Commission and (ii) in the case of a Demand Registration, the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Registration of their Registrable Securities pursuant to such
Demand Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration
Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration prior to its withdrawal under
this subsection 2.1.4.

 

2.2 Piggy-back
Registration.

 

2.2.1 Piggy-back
Rights. If, at any time on or after the Filing Date, the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act
with respect to an offering 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 stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of
the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection
with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer, as part of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction
or for an offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible
into equity securities of the Company, or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed
filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing
date of such Registration Statement, 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 Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities
as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggy-back
Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggy-back Registration
and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable
Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggy-back Registration on the same terms
and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such
Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute their
Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement
in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company. The Company may postpone or withdraw
the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggy-back Registration at any time in its sole discretion.

 

    10

     

    

 

2.2.2 Reduction
of Piggy-back Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Registration that is to be a Piggy-back
Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggy-back Registration
in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares
of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons
or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been
requested pursuant to Section 2.2.1 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested
pursuant to separate written contractual piggy- back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number
of Securities, then:

 

(a) If the Registration is
undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or
other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second,
to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of
Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, Pro Rata, which can
be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; provided, that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that exceed
such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining Holders in like manner; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum
Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration
has been requested pursuant to written contractual registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, Pro Rata, which can be sold
without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

 

(b) If the Registration is
pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such
Registration (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, which can
be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been
reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities
pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; provided,
that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining Holders
in like manner; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and
(B), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses
(A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company
is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, Pro Rata, which can be sold
without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

 

2.2.3 Piggy-back
Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggy-back 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 Piggy-back Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with
respect to such Piggy-back Registration. The Company (in its sole discretion or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant
to separate written contractual obligations) may postpone or withdraw the filing or effectiveness of a Piggy-back Registration. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with
the Piggy-back Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

 

2.2.4 Unlimited
Piggy-back Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not
be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.

 

    11

     

    

 

2.3 Restrictions
on Registration Rights. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration within 90 days
after the effective date of a previous Shelf Underwriting or Demand Registration or a previous Piggy-back Registration in which holders
of Registrable Securities were permitted to register 75% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein. If in the good
faith judgment of the Board, Registration would be detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential
to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or the undertaking of such Underwritten Offering at such time, then in each case the
Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the
Board it would be detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed or to undertake such Underwritten Offering in
the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or undertaking of such Underwritten
Offering, then in such event, the Company shall have the right to defer its obligation for up to 120 days; provided, however,
that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than twice in any period of twelve consecutive months. This Section
2.3 shall not apply to the Shelf Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.1.1(a).

 

2.4 Lock-Up.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Shelf Underwriting, Demand
Registration or Piggy-back Registration of (i) any Founder Shares subject to the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period prior to the expiration
of the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period applicable to such Founder Shares, (ii) any Placement Units, Placement Shares or Placement Warrants
during the Placement Unit Lock-Up Period or (iii) any Pico Shares during the Pico Lock-Up Period. Nothing in this Section 2.4
or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit in any respect the Company’s obligation to register all of the Registrable Securities,
including such Founder Shares, Placement Units, Placement Shares, Placement Warrants and the Pico Shares, on the Shelf Registration Statement
required pursuant to Section 2.1.1(a).

as the Underwriters and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders

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 use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on

if such stop order should be issued;

(5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement
or Prospectus or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, furnish a copy thereof

any comment letters received with respect to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus. The Company shall not include the name of
any Holder or any information regarding any Holder in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement to such Registration
Statement or Prospectus, any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any response
to any comment letter, without the prior written consent of such Holder and providing each such Holder or its counsel a reasonable amount
of time to review and comment on such applicable document, which comments the Company shall include unless contrary to applicable law;

 

3.1.9 in the event
of an Underwritten Offering, permit the participating Holders to rely on any “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s
independent registered public accountants provided to the managing Underwriter of such offering;

 

3.1.10 in the event
of an Underwritten Offering, permit the participating Holders to rely on any opinion(s) of counsel representing the Company for the purposes
of such Registration issued to the managing Underwriter of such offering covering legal matters with respect to the Registration;

 

3.1.11 (a) in addition
to Section 3.1.9 and Section 3.1.10, upon the request of any Holder, at the Company’s sole expense, furnish to each
Underwriter, if any, in such substance and scope as they may reasonably request and as are customarily made by issuers to Underwriters
in primary Underwritten Offerings, upon the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement:

 

    13

     

    

 

(i) an opinion and 10b-5 letter
in customary form of counsel for the Company, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions and 10b-5 letters requested in similar
Underwritten Offerings and such other matters as such parties may reasonably request; and;

 

(ii) obtain a customary
comfort letter, dated the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, from the Company’s independent accountants, in the
customary form and covering matters of the type customarily requested to be covered in comfort letters by Underwriters in connection with
primary Underwritten Offerings; and

 

(b) deliver such other documents
and certificates as may be reasonably requested by such parties to evidence compliance with clause (a) above and with any customary conditions
contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company;

 

3.1.12 in the event

the managing Underwriter of such offering;

 

3.1.13 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 promulgated by the Commission), and
which requirement will be deemed to be satisfied if the Company timely files complete and accurate information on Forms 10-Q, 10-K and
8-K under the Exchange Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act;

 

3.1.14 if the Registration
involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $30,000,000, use its 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 any Underwritten Offering; and

 

3.1.15 otherwise, in
good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with
such Registration.

 

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 fees and expenses of legal counsel representing the Holders in excess or
in addition to the legal fees and expenses included as Registration Expenses.

 

3.3 Requirements
for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company
pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on
the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires,
powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, that no BHCA Holder shall be required to enter into any lock-up or
other agreement that restricts any brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, principaling, merger advisory,
financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, investment activity and other similar activities conducted in the ordinary
course of business of such BHCA Holder or any of such BHCA Holder’s affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, “BHCA
Holder” shall mean any holder of any Registrable Security that is a bank, bank holding company, financial holding company
or any entity that is controlled by a bank, bank holding company or financial holding company, as such terms are defined under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “BHCA”),
or any affiliate of any such entity or (ii) a foreign bank subject to the BHCA under Section 8(a) of the International Banking Act of
1978, together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any affiliate of any such entity.

 

    14

     

    

 

3.4 Suspension
of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. 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 is advised in
writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed and 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 reasonably practicable after the time of such notice) and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the
Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus
covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. If the continued use of a Registration Statement in respect
of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, or would require the inclusion in such Registration
Statement of (i) financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, (ii) audited
financial statements as of a date other than the Company’s fiscal year end (unless the Holders requesting Registration agree to
pay the reasonable expenses of this audit), or (iii) pro forma financial statements that are required to be included in a registration
statement, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness
of, or suspend the use of, such Registration Statement for no more than 90 days per delay or suspension or more than 150 total calendar
days, in each case during any twelve-month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, 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. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration
of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

 

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 its reasonable best 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 Filing Date pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act and to promptly upon request by a Holder furnish such Holder with true and complete copies of such filings. 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 shares of Common Stock 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 promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including
providing any legal opinions. 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.

 

3.6 Limitations
on Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) Cantor may not exercise its rights under Sections
2.1 and 2.2 hereunder after five (5) and seven (7) years, respectively, after February 22, 2021, the effective date of the
registration statement relating to the Company’s IPO, and (ii) each of Cantor and GGC may not exercise their respective rights under
Section 2.1 more than one time.

 

 

    15

     

    

 

3.7 BHCA
Holders as Deemed Underwriters. The parties hereto agree that, if any BHCA Holder or any affiliate of any such BHCA Holder would reasonably
be deemed to be an “underwriter,” as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, in connection with any registration
of any Registrable Security held or owned, beneficially or otherwise, by such BHCA Holder or such BHCA Holder’s affiliates pursuant
to this Agreement, and any amendment or supplement thereof (any such Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or amendment
or supplement a “BHCA Holder Deemed Underwriter Registration Statement”), then parties hereto will (i) cooperate
with such BHCA Holder (or its relevant affiliates, as applicable) in allowing such BHCA Holder or its relevant affiliates, as applicable,
to conduct customary “underwriter’s due diligence” with respect to the registration of such Registrable Securities and
satisfy its obligations in respect thereof and (ii) enter into an underwriting agreement with such BHCA Holder (or its relevant affiliates,
as applicable) containing customary terms and conditions. In addition, at the request of such BHCA Holder, if such BHCA Holder or
any of its affiliates could reasonably be deemed to be an “underwriter” pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Company will
cause to be furnished to such BHCA Holder (or its relevant affiliates, as applicable), on the date of the effectiveness of any BHCA Holder
Deemed Underwriter Registration Statement (x) a letter, dated as of such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants
in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering,
addressed to such BHCA Holder (or its relevant affiliates, as applicable) and (y) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing
the Company for purposes of such BHCA Holder Deemed Underwriter Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily
given in an underwritten public offering, including, without limitation, a standard “10b-5” opinion for such offering, addressed
to such BHCA Holder (or its relevant affiliates, as applicable). Legal counsel to such BHCA Holder (or its relevant affiliates, as applicable),
which may be in house or outside counsel, shall be permitted to review and comment upon any such BHCA Holder Deemed Underwriter Registration
Statement at least five (5) Business Days prior to its filing with the Commission and all amendments and supplements to any such BHCA
Holder Deemed Underwriter Registration Statement within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the Commission and not
file any BHCA Holder Deemed Underwriter Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which such legal counsel
reasonably objects.

 

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 and directors and each person who controls
such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained 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 furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify
the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person 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 each Holder.

 

4.1.2 In connection
with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish 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 and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person
who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained
in the 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 or alleged untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing
by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that (i) the obligation to indemnify shall
be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, (ii) 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 and (iii) the indemnity obligations set forth in this Section 4.1.2 shall not apply to the extent
that such Holder has furnished in writing to the Company an explicit notice particularly identifying the incorrect or misleading information
at least two (2) Business Days prior to the filing of any such Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment
thereof or supplement thereto information which corrected or made not misleading information previously furnished to the Company, and
the Company failed to include such information therein. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their
officers, directors and each person 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.

 

    16

     

    

 

4.1.3 Any person 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 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 prior written 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 (plus local 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 prior written 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 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.

 

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 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 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party
in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and 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 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 relates to information supplied by, 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 subsection
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 subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or 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 subsection 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 subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant
to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.2 Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

 

5.2.1 This Agreement
and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part. Prior
to the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, Placement Unit Lock-up Period or Pico Lock-Up Period, as the case may be, no Holder

as it applies to the Registrable Securities, the Holder may transfer such securities during the respective lock-up period to any Permitted
Transferee but only if such Permitted Transferee agrees to become bound by the transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement, the
Letter Agreement, the applicable Lock-Up Agreement and, if applicable, the Placement Unit Subscription Agreements, as the case may be.

 

    18

     

    

 

5.2.2 Except as set
forth in subsection 5.2.1 hereof, this Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Holders of Registrable Securities
hereunder may be assigned or delegated by such Holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer
of Registrable Securities by any such Holder.

 

5.2.3 This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall
be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the Holders, the permitted assigns and its successors and the permitted assigns
of the Holders.

 

5.2.4 This Agreement
shall not confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not parties hereto, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement
and Section 5.2 hereof.

 

5.2.5 No assignment
by any party hereto of such party’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate the Company unless
and until the Company shall have received (i) written notice of such assignment as provided in Section 5.1 hereof and (ii) the
written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement
(which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement). Any transfer or assignment made other than as
provided in this Section 5.2 shall be null and void.

 

5.3 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including facsimile or PDF counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original,
and all of which together shall constitute the same instrument, but only one of which need be produced.

 

5.4 Governing Law;
Venue. THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE,
WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the
State of Delaware, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.

 

5.5 Amendments
and Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities
at the time in question (which majority interest must include Cantor or GGC if such amendment or modification adversely affects in any
way the respective rights of Cantor or GGC, as applicable, hereunder), compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions
set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in
its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders
(in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so 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.

 

5.6 Other Registration
Rights. The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, holders of PIPE Shares
and holders of the Company’s public warrants pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, 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 filed by the Company for the sale
of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person.

 

5.7 Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate upon the date as of which (A) all of the Registrable Securities have either been sold pursuant to a Registration
Statement or cease to be Registrable Securities (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(a)(3) of the
Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission)) or (B) the Holders of all Registrable
Securities are permitted to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144 (or any similar provision) under the Securities Act without
limitation on the amount of securities sold or the manner of sale. The provisions of Section 3.5 and Article IV shall survive
any termination.
