RE: Securities Subscription
Agreement 

 

 Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This agreement (the “Agreement”)
is entered into on September 2, 2020 by and between Healthcare Capital Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Subscriber”
or “you”), and Healthcare Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “we”
or “us”). Pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company hereby accepts the offer the Subscriber has made to purchase
5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Shares”), up to 750,000 of which
are subject to forfeiture by you if the underwriters of the initial public offering (“IPO”) of units (“Units”)
of the Company, do not fully exercise their over-allotment option (the “Over-allotment Option”). The Company
and the Subscriber’s agreements regarding such Shares are as follows:

 

1. Purchase of Securities.

 

1.1. Purchase of
Shares. For the sum of $25,000 (the “Purchase Price”), which the Company acknowledges receiving in cash,
the Company hereby issues the Shares to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber hereby purchases the Shares from the Company, subject
to forfeiture, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Concurrently
with the Subscriber’s execution of this Agreement, the Company shall, at its option, deliver to the Subscriber a certificate
registered in the Subscriber’s name representing the shares (the “Original Certificate”), or effect such
delivery in book-entry form.

 

2. Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

 

2.1. Subscriber’s
Representations, Warranties and Agreements. To induce the Company to issue the Shares to the Subscriber, the Subscriber hereby
represents and warrants to the Company and agrees with the Company as follows:

 

2.1.1. No Government
Recommendation or Approval. The Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation
or endorsement of the offering of the Shares.

 

2.1.2. No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Subscriber of the transactions contemplated
hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the formation and governing documents of the Subscriber,
(ii) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Subscriber is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to
which the Subscriber is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Subscriber is subject.

 

2.1.3. Organization
and Authority. The Subscriber is a Delaware limited liability company, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of Delaware and possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Upon execution and delivery by you, this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of Subscriber, enforceable against Subscriber
in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance
or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless
of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

 

     

     

    

 

2.1.4. Experience,
Financial Capability and Suitability. Subscriber is: (i) sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks
and benefits of the investment in the Shares and (ii) able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares for an indefinite
period of time because the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act (as defined below) and therefore cannot be
sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Subscriber is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests.
Subscriber must bear the economic risk of this investment until the Shares are sold pursuant to: (i) an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from registration available with respect to such sale. Subscriber is able
to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Shares and to afford a complete loss of Subscriber’s investment in the
Shares.

 

2.1.5. Access to
Information; Independent Investigation. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Subscriber has had the opportunity to
ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning an investment in the Company, as well as the
finances, operations, business and prospects of the Company, and the opportunity to obtain additional information to verify the
accuracy of all information so obtained. In determining whether to make this investment, Subscriber has relied solely on Subscriber’s
own knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business based upon Subscriber’s own due diligence investigation and
the information furnished pursuant to this paragraph. Subscriber understands that no person has been authorized to give any information
or to make any representations which were not furnished pursuant to this Section 2 and Subscriber has not relied on any other representations
or information in making its investment decision, whether written or oral, relating to the Company, its operations and/or its prospects.

 

2.1.6. Regulation
D Offering. Subscriber represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and acknowledges the sale contemplated
hereby is being made in reliance on a private placement exemption to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Section
501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act or similar exemptions under state law.

 

2.1.7. Investment
Purposes. The Subscriber is purchasing the Shares solely for investment purposes, for the Subscriber’s own account and
not for the account or benefit of any other person, and not with a view towards the distribution or dissemination thereof. The
Subscriber did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the
meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act.

 

2.1.8. Restrictions
on Transfer; Shell Company. Subscriber understands the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering
within the meaning of the Securities Act. Subscriber understands the Shares will be “restricted securities” within
the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and Subscriber understands that the certificates or book-entries representing
the Shares will contain a legend in respect of such restrictions. If in the future the Subscriber decides to offer, resell, pledge
or otherwise transfer the Shares, such Shares may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only pursuant to: (i) registration
under the Securities Act, or (ii) an available exemption from registration. Subscriber agrees that if any transfer of its Shares
or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, Subscriber may be required to deliver
to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company. Absent registration or an exemption, the Subscriber agrees not
to resell the Shares. Subscriber further acknowledges that because the Company is a shell company, Rule 144 may not be available
to the Subscriber for the resale of the Shares until one year following consummation of the initial business combination of the
Company, despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 and the release or waiver of any contractual transfer restrictions.

 

2.1.9. No Governmental
Consents. No governmental, administrative or other third party consents or approvals are required, necessary or appropriate
on the part of Subscriber in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

    2

     

    

 

2.2. Company’s
Representations, Warranties and Agreements. To induce the Subscriber to purchase the Shares, the Company hereby represents
and warrants to the Subscriber and agrees with the Subscriber as follows:

 

2.2.1. Organization
and Corporate Power. The Company is a Delaware corporation and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the
failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results
or assets of the Company. The Company possesses all requisite corporate power and authority necessary to carry out the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

 

2.2.2. No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company,
(ii) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which
the Company is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Company is subject.

 

2.2.3. Title to
Securities. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof, the Shares will be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Upon issuance in accordance with, and payment pursuant to, the terms hereof, the Subscriber
will have or receive good title to the Shares, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind, other than (a)
transfer restrictions hereunder and other agreements to which the Shares may be subject which have been notified to the Subscriber
in writing, (b) transfer restrictions under federal and state securities laws, and (c) liens, claims or encumbrances imposed due
to the actions of the Subscriber.

 

2.2.4. No Adverse
Actions. There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending, threatened against or affecting the Company that:
(i) seek to restrain, enjoin, prevent the consummation of or otherwise affect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
(ii) question the validity or legality of any transactions or seeks to recover damages or to obtain other relief in connection
with any transactions.

 

3. Forfeiture of Shares.

 

3.1. Partial or
No Exercise of the Over-allotment Option. In the event the Over-allotment Option granted to the underwriters of the IPO is
not exercised in full, the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it (or, if applicable, it and any transferees of Shares) shall
forfeit any and all rights to such number of Shares (up to an aggregate of 750,000 Shares and pro rata based upon the percentage
of the Over-allotment Option exercised) such that immediately following such forfeiture, the Subscriber (and all other initial
stockholders prior to the IPO, if any) will own an aggregate number of Shares (not including any Shares issuable upon exercise
of any warrants or any Common Stock purchased by Subscriber in the IPO or in the aftermarket) equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding
Shares immediately following the IPO.

 

3.2. Termination
of Rights as Stockholder. If any of the Shares are forfeited in accordance with this Section 3, then after such time the Subscriber
(or successor in interest), shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such forfeited Shares, and the Company shall take such
action as is appropriate to cancel such forfeited Shares.

 

3.3. Share Certificates.
In the event an adjustment to the Original Certificates, if any, is required pursuant
to this Section 3, then the Subscriber shall return such Original Certificates to the Company or its designated agent as soon
as practicable upon its receipt of notice from the Company advising Subscriber of such adjustment, following which a new certificate
(the “New Certificate”), if any, shall be issued in such amount representing the adjusted number of Shares held
by the Subscriber. The New Certificate, if any, shall be returned to the Subscriber as soon as practicable. Any such adjustment
for any uncertificated securities held by the Subscriber shall be made in book-entry form.

 

4. Waiver of Liquidation Distributions;
Redemption Rights. In connection with the Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement, the Subscriber hereby waives any and
all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distributions by the Company from the trust account which will be
established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders and into which substantially all of the proceeds of the
IPO will be deposited (the “Trust Account”), in the event of a liquidation of the Company upon the Company’s
failure to timely complete an initial business combination. For purposes of clarity, in the event the Subscriber purchases Shares
in the IPO or in the aftermarket, any additional Shares so purchased shall be eligible to receive any liquidating distributions
by the Company. However, in no event will the Subscriber have the right to redeem any Shares into funds held in the Trust Account
upon the successful completion of an initial business combination.

 

    3

     

    

 

5. Restrictions on Transfer.

 

5.1. Securities
Law Restrictions. In addition to any restrictions to be contained in that certain letter agreement (commonly known as an “Insider
Letter”) to be dated as of the closing of the IPO by and between Subscriber and the Company, Subscriber agrees not to
sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Shares unless, prior thereto (a) a registration
statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws with respect to the Shares proposed
to be transferred shall then be effective or (b) the Company has received an opinion from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, that such registration is not required because such transaction is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and
the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder and with all applicable state securities laws. 

 

5.2. Lock-up.
Subscriber acknowledges that the Securities will be subject to lock-up provisions (the “Lock-up”) contained
in the Insider Letter.

 

5.3. Restrictive
Legends. Any certificates representing the Shares shall have endorsed thereon legends substantially as follows:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES
NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL,
IS AVAILABLE.”

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCKUP AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED DURING THE TERM OF
THE LOCKUP.”

 

5.4. Additional
Shares or Substituted Securities. In the event of the declaration of a share dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary
dividend payable in a form other than Shares, a spin-off, a share split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization
or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding Shares without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted
or additional securities or other property which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject
to this Section 5 or into which such Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to this Section 5 and Section
3. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class
of Shares subject to this Section 5 and Section 3.

 

5.5. Registration
Rights. Subscriber acknowledges that the Shares are being purchased pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act and will become freely tradable only after certain conditions are met or they are registered pursuant to
a registration rights agreement to be entered into with the Company prior to the closing of the IPO.

 

6. Other Agreements.

 

6.1. Further Assurances.
Subscriber agrees to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out
the intent of this Agreement.

 

6.2. Notices.
All notices, statements or other documents which are required or contemplated by this Agreement shall be: (i) in writing and delivered
personally or sent by first class registered or certified mail, overnight courier service or facsimile or electronic transmission
to the address designated in writing, (ii) by facsimile to the number most recently provided to such party or such other address
or fax number as may be designated in writing by such party and (iii) by electronic mail, to the electronic mail address most recently
provided to such party or such other electronic mail address as may be designated in writing by such party. Any notice or other
communication so transmitted shall be deemed to have been given on the day of delivery, if delivered personally, on the business
day following receipt of written confirmation, if sent by facsimile or electronic transmission, one (1) business day after delivery
to an overnight courier service or five (5) days after mailing if sent by mail.

 

    4

     

    

 

6.3. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, together with the Insider Letter and the Registration Rights Agreement, each substantially in the form to be filed
as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 associated with the Company’s IPO, embodies the entire agreement
and understanding between the Subscriber and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral
or written agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. No statement, representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement of any kind not expressly set forth in this Agreement shall affect, or be used to interpret, change or restrict, the
express terms and provisions of this Agreement. 

 

6.4. Modifications
and Amendments. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be modified or amended only by written agreement executed by
all parties hereto.

 

6.5. Waivers and
Consents. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by
a written document executed by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions. No such waiver or consent shall
be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver or consent with respect to any other terms or provisions of this Agreement, whether
or not similar. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which it was
given, and shall not constitute a continuing waiver or consent.

 

6.6. Assignment.
The rights and obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of
the other party.

 

6.7. Benefit.
All statements, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto
and shall inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each party hereto. Nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed to create any rights or obligations except among the parties hereto, and no person or entity shall be regarded
as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

 

6.8. Governing
Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed
by the laws of New York applicable to contracts wholly performed within the borders of such state, without giving effect to the
conflict of law principles thereof.

 

6.9. Severability.
In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any provision, or any portion thereof, contained in
this Agreement shall be unreasonable or unenforceable in any respect, then such provision shall be deemed limited to the extent
that such court deems it reasonable and enforceable, and as so limited shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that
such court shall deem any such provision, or portion thereof, wholly unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

 

6.10. No Waiver
of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement,
and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party.
No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance
of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver
of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this
Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in
any circumstances without such notice or demand.

 

6.11. Survival
of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Agreement or in any
other agreement, certificate or instrument provided for or contemplated hereby, shall survive the execution and delivery hereof
and any investigations made by or on behalf of the parties.

 

6.12. No Broker
or Finder. Each of the parties hereto represents and warrants to the other that no broker, finder or other financial consultant
has acted on its behalf in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such a way as to create any
liability on the other. Each of the parties hereto agrees to indemnify and save the other harmless from any claim or demand for
commission or other compensation by any broker, finder, financial consultant or similar agent claiming to have been employed by
or on behalf of such party and to bear the cost of legal expenses incurred in defending against any such claim.

 

    5

     

    

 

6.13. Headings
and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only
and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

 

6.14. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being
understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or any other form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or
on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

6.15. Construction.
The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of
intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption
or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be
followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include
any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise
requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,”
“hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision
unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have
independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect,
the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the
relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party
hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

 

6.16. Mutual Drafting.
This Agreement is the joint product of the Subscriber and the Company and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual
consultation, negotiation and agreement of such parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.

 

7. Voting and Tender of Shares.
Subscriber agrees to vote the Shares in favor of an initial business combination that the Company negotiates and submits for approval
to the Company’s stockholders and shall not seek redemption with respect to such Shares. Additionally, the Subscriber agrees
not to tender any Shares in connection with a tender offer presented to the Company’s stockholders in connection with an
initial business combination negotiated by the Company.

 

8.        Indemnification.
Each party shall indemnify the other against any loss, cost or damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses)
incurred as a result of such party’s breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT
AND PLAN OF MERGER

all material respects, in compliance with applicable Law and in accordance with its terms, and all reports, descriptions and filings
required by the Code, ERISA or any government agency with respect to each Alpine Benefit Plan have, in all material respects,
been timely and completely filed or distributed. Each Alpine Benefit Plan that is represented to be qualified under Section 401(a)
of the Code has a current favorable determination letter or is the adopter of a volume submitter or prototype document that has
received a favorable advisory or opinion letter from the IRS, all subsequent interim amendments have been made in a timely manner,
and no such Alpine Benefit Plan has been amended or operated in a way that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect its
qualified status or the tax-exempt status of its related trust. No Alpine Benefit Plan that is represented to be qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code has been terminated or partially terminated during the preceding six years, nor has Alpine discontinued
contributions to any such plan, without notice to and approval by the IRS, to the extent such notice to and approval by the IRS
is required by applicable Law. There are no pending Claims relating to any Alpine Benefit Plan (other than ordinary claims for
benefits) and none are threatened. No Alpine Benefit Plan provides retiree medical or retiree life insurance benefits, except
as required under Section 4980B of the Code and subsequent guidance. Each Alpine Benefit Plan that is a group health plan within
the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code or similar state Law, is currently in compliance with an has always complied with
the applicable continuation requirements of Section 4980B of the Code (as well as its predecessor provision, Section 162(k) of
the Code) and Section 601 through 608, inclusive, of ERISA or similar state applicable Law. Alpine has not established or maintained,
nor has any liability with respect to, any deferred compensation plan, program, or arrangement (including any “nonqualified
deferred compensation plan”) that is not in compliance with the applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code. Each
Alpine Benefit Plan is amendable and terminable unilaterally by Alpine at any time without liability or expense (other than for
benefits accrued through the date of termination or amendment and reasonable administrative expenses related thereto). The investment
vehicles used to fund any Alpine Benefit Plan may be changed at any time without incurring a sales charge, surrender fee or similar
expense.

in all material respects as of the respective dates of such filings.

 

Section

Adverse Effect on Alpine, (a) Alpine owns or has the right to use pursuant to a license, sublicense, agreement or otherwise all
material items of Intellectual Property required in the operation of its business as presently conducted or planned to be conducted;
(b) no third party has asserted in writing delivered to Alpine an unresolved claim that Alpine is infringing on the Intellectual
Property of such third party; and (c) to the Knowledge of Alpine, no third party is infringing on the Intellectual Property owned
by Alpine.

 

Section
4.21 Investment Representations. Espinosa will acquire the Cerberus Stock in the Merger for his own account for investment
purposes only and not with a view to the distribution thereof. Espinosa is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Regulation
D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. Espinosa acknowledges that he (a) understands and agrees that the Cerberus
Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities Laws, and that accordingly, they will not be fully
transferable except as permitted under various exemptions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws,
or upon satisfaction of the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities
Laws, (b) must bear the economic risk of its investment in its Cerberus Stock for an indefinite period of time because they have
not been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws and therefore cannot be sold unless they are
subsequently registered or an exemption from registration is available, (c) understands that absent an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities Laws covering the disposition of the Cerberus Stock, such stockholder
will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Cerberus Stock absent a valid exemption
from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the registration or qualification requirements
of any applicable state securities Laws and (d) understands that the Cerberus Stock will bear a customary legend reflecting the
fact that such shares are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and subject to the
Lock-up Agreement attached hereto as Annex 2.

Section
4.23 No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement
(as qualified by the Alpine Disclosure Schedule), neither Alpine nor any other Person makes (and Cerberus agrees that it is not
relying upon) any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Alpine (including the value, condition or
use of any asset) or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Alpine disclaims any other representations or warranties
not contained in this Agreement, whether made by Alpine, any Affiliate of Alpine or any of their respective officers, directors,
managers, employees or agents. Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (as qualified by the
Alpine Disclosure Schedule), Alpine disclaims all liability and responsibility for any representation, warranty, projection, forecast,
statement or information made, communicated or furnished (orally or in writing) to Cerberus or any of its Affiliates or any of
its officers, directors, managers, employees or agents (including any opinion, information, projection or advice that may have
been or may be provided to Cerberus by any director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of Alpine or any of
its Affiliates). The disclosure of any matter or item in the Alpine Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment
that any such matter is required to be disclosed or is material or that such matter would or would reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect on Alpine.

to and known by the public through no fault of Espinosa, any of his Affiliates or their respective Representatives; or (b) is
lawfully acquired by Espinosa, any of his Affiliates or their respective Representatives from and after the Closing from sources
which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If Espinosa or any
of his Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative
process or by other requirements of Law, Espinosa shall promptly notify Cerberus in writing and shall disclose only that portion
of such information which Espinosa is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that
Espinosa shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded such information.

 

Section
5.2 Non-competition; Non-solicitation.

 

(a)
For a period of (2) years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Espinosa shall not, and
shall not permit any of his Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the Restricted
Business in the Territory; (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Restricted Business
in the Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant;
or (iii) intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the
date of this Agreement) between Cerberus and its Affiliates and customers or suppliers of Cerberus and its Affiliates. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Espinosa may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national
securities exchange if Espinosa is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not,
directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(b)
During the Restricted Period, Espinosa shall not, and shall not permit any of his Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, hire
or solicit any employee of Cerberus or its Affiliates, encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee
who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees;
provided, that nothing in this Section 5.2(b) shall prevent Espinosa or any of his Affiliates from hiring any employee
whose employment has been terminated by a Cerberus or its Affiliates.

 

(c)
During the Restricted Period, Espinosa shall not, and shall not permit any of his Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit
or entice, or attempt to solicit or entice, any clients or customers of Cerberus or its Affiliates or potential clients or customers
of Cerberus or its Affiliates, for purposes of diverting their business or services from Cerberus or its Affiliates.

 

(d)
Espinosa acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.2 would give rise to irreparable harm to Cerberus,
for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach
by Espinosa of any such obligations, Cerberus shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available
to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific
performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post
bond).

 

Espinosa
acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.2 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate
interests of Cerberus and its Affiliates and constitute a material inducement to Cerberus to enter into this Agreement and consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.2 should ever
be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction,
then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction
to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained
in this Section 5.2 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability
of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions
hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant
or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section
6.5 Indemnification Procedures. The Party making a claim under this ARTICLE VI is referred to as the “Indemnified
Party”, and the Party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VI is referred to as the “Indemnifying
Party”.

 

(a)
Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought
by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing
(a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated
to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written
notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure
to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except
and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified
Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof
and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified
Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to
assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own
counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party
is Alpine, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that
(x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of Cerberus or its Affiliates, or (y) seeks
an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense
of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 6.5(a), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary
to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of
the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with
counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements
of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel
to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional
to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying
Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of
its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim,
the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 6.5(a), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification
for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Espinosa and Cerberus shall cooperate with
each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject
to the provisions of Section 5.1) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than
reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may
be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

(b)
Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not
enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided
in this Section 6.5(a). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation
of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional
release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying
Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified
Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified
Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party
as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to
such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party
Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense
pursuant to Section 6.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(c)
Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a
“Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt
written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim.
The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations,
except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by
the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence
thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the
Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct
Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance
alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim
and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance
(including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records)
as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond
within such 30 day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party
shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions
of this Agreement.

 

(d)
Cooperation. Upon a reasonable request by the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder
in respect of any Direct Claim, hereby agrees to consult with the Indemnifying Party and act reasonably to take actions reasonably
requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim. Any costs
or expenses associated with taking such actions shall be included as Losses hereunder.

 

Section
6.6 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this
ARTICLE VI, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable
adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make
full payment of any such obligations within such 15 Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including
the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has
been made at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%). Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365 day year
and the actual number of days elapsed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Espinosa is the Indemnifying Party, Espinosa,
in his sole discretion, may elect for Cerberus to redeem that number of Espinosa’s shares of common stock of Cerberus, at
the closing price on the date hereof, equal to the liability owed under a final, non-appealable indemnification obligation under
Section 6.2 above.

 

    	15

    	 

    

 

Section
6.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated
by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

Section
6.8 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified
Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified
Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

 

Section
6.9 Exclusive Remedies. Except as set forth below, the Parties acknowledge
and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal
activity or willful misconduct on the part of a Party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein, shall be pursuant to the indemnification
provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VI. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted
under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement
or obligation set forth herein it may have against the other Parties hereto and their Affiliates, except pursuant to the indemnification
provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VI. Notwithstanding the foregoing or elsewhere in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement
shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled to enforce
the covenants set forth herein, or to seek any remedy on account of any Party’s fraudulent, criminal or willful misconduct.

 

ARTICLE

Miscellaneous

 

Section
7.1 Waiver, Etc. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth
in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the
specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the Party granting such waiver in any other
respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right hereunder.

 

Section
7.2 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be
assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the

by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section
7.2 shall be null and void.

 

Section
7.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all
of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement) and shall become effective when one or more counterparts
have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile,
e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed
copy of this Agreement.

Section
7.4 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, including the Annexes hereto and the Alpine Disclosure

understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and thereof and
(b) shall not confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights (including third-party beneficiary rights or otherwise)
or remedies hereunder, except for, in the case of clause (b), the provisions of Section 7.10.

(a)
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, applicable to contracts

arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations
arising hereunder brought by the other Parties or their successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in
the United States District Court for the District of Arizona or, if such court lacks jurisdiction, the state district court of
Maricopa County, Arizona. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or Proceeding for itself
and in respect of its or property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and 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 aforesaid courts. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim
or otherwise, in any action or Proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 7.5,
(ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced
in such court (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution
of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (x) the suit, action
or Proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such suit, action or Proceeding is improper

PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS

to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the
granting of an injunction, and each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable

furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this
Section 7.6, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such

and together as “Parties.”

 

ARTICLE
I

 

WHEREAS
Stockholder is the owner of 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”),
and as an inducement to third parties to invest in the Company’s common stock, Stockholder is willing to execute this Agreement.

 

NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the terms and conditions contained herein and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.
LOCK UP OF SHARES; PERMITTED LEAK OUTS.

 

(a)
The Stockholder hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Company and except as set forth below, he will not
during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the 12 month anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Lock
Up Period”) (i) offer, pledge, gift, donate, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase
any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly
or indirectly, any Shares, or (ii) enter into any swap, option (including, without limitation, put or call options), short sale,
future, forward or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership
of the Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares of the Company’s Common Stock or such
other securities, in cash or otherwise ((i) and (ii) being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Lock Up”);

 

(b)
The Stockholder hereby authorizes the Company during the relevant Lock Up Period to cause any transfer agent for the Shares to
decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to the Shares subject
to the Lock Up for which the Stockholder is the record holder and, in the case of Shares subject to this Agreement for which the
Stockholder is the beneficial but not the record holder, agrees during the Lock Up Period to cause the record holder to cause
the relevant transfer agent to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records
relating to the Shares subject to the Lock Up, if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement; and

 

(c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing the Stockholder may transfer the Shares as set forth below (collectively, the “Permitted
Transfer”), provided that each transferee, donee or distributee of the Shares shall sign and deliver to the Company
a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter contemporaneously with such transaction (such letter reflecting the
time remaining for the obligations hereunder, and does not serve to increase the length of any of the obligations hereunder or
thereunder):

 

(i)
as a bona fide gift, by will or intestacy or to a family member or trust for the benefit of a family member.

 

    	 	ANNEX 2
Page 1
	 

     

    

 

(ii)
the pledge, hypothecation or granting of a collateral security interest in the Shares; and

 

(iii)
the sale or transfer of all or any portion of the Shares via private sale (a “Private Sale”).

 

(iv)
Upon request by Stockholder, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate a Private Sale of the Shares
at the then current bid price of the Company’s Common Stock. Following the release of any Shares from the Lock Up, the Stockholder
agrees to limit the resales of such Shares in the public market as follows the “Additional Restrictions”) if
the daily average trading volume on the primary trading markets on which the Common Stock is then quoted or listed (i) is less
than 30,000 shares of Common Stock, the Stockholder shall not sell more than 1,000 Shares per trading day; (ii) is greater than
30,000 shares of Common Stock, but less than 100,000 shares, the Stockholder shall not sell more than 5,000 Shares per trading
day; and (iii) is greater than 100,000 shares, the Stockholder shall not sell more than 50,000 Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if not earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, the Additional Restrictions shall automatically terminate and cease
to be of further force and effect, on the 36 month anniversary of the Effective Date.

 

2.
RELEASES.

 

(a)
The Lock Up and the Additional Restrictions shall automatically terminate if a Change of Control should occur during the Lock
Up Period. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” shall mean any one of the following: (i)
the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another any individual, corporation, partnership, limited
liability company, firm, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity (collectively,
a “Person”) (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of the Company immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation collectively continue to hold at least 60% of the earning power, voting power or capital
stock of the surviving Person); (ii) the issuance, transfer, sale or disposition to another Person of the voting power or capital
stock of the Company, if after such issuance, sale, transfer or disposition such Person would hold more than 40% of the voting
power or capital stock of the Company; (iii) if the Persons who, on the date of this Agreement, constitute a majority of the board
of directors of the Company, or Persons nominated and/or appointed as directors by vote of a majority of such Persons, shall for
any reason cease to constitute a majority of the Company’s board of directors; (iv) a sale, transfer or disposition of all
or substantially all of the assets or earning power of Company; or (iv) dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs
of the Company.

 

(b)
All of the Company’s Common Stock (or options or other instruments convertible into such Common Stock) now owned or hereafter
acquired, and held, directly or indirectly, by officers or directors of the Company are subject to a lock up agreement which is
at least as restrictive as this Agreement, and which contain a Lock Up Period and Additional Restrictions, each expiring no earlier
than the periods provided for herein. At any time during the Lock Up Period or prior to the expiration of the Additional Restrictions,
in the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors, the Company may elect to release some or all of the Common Stock
of any holder from the terms of a lock up in such amounts as it may determine; provided that any such release shall also provide
for the release of the Shares under this Agreement, in an equal percentage to the total number of Shares subject to this Agreement
as to the release of the lock up of shares of the Company’s Common Stock for any such other holder benefiting from such
release.

3.
TRANSFER; SUCCESSOR AND ASSIGNS. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the Parties. As provided above, any Permitted Transfer shall require the
transferee to execute a lock up agreement in accordance with the same terms set forth herein. Nothing in this Agreement, express
or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the Parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any
rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

4.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. In the event of a Permitted Transfer, as a condition to the Company agreeing to
such Permitted Transfer, the Stockholder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Company, to the effect that the transfer is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and that the transfer otherwise complies with the terms of this Agreement.

sale, transfer or other disposition of the Shares under the Securities Act or to take any other action necessary in order to make
compliance with an exemption from such registration available.

 

7.

fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, and accordingly agrees that the Company, in addition to any other remedy to
which it may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Stockholder
under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any remedy under this Section 7 is
