upon written notification to the Company and the underwriter or underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten
Shelf Takedown. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown will not constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown

for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section
2(g).

of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in
connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s
existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend

of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such registration,

in such Piggyback 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 Holder pursuant to this Section 2(h) to be included in a Piggyback
Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Piggyback Registration and to
permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof.
The Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this Section 2(h) shall

Related Obligations.

 

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

 

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

 

    7

     

    

 

(b) Subject to Section
3(o) of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments

connection with each such Registration Statement, which Prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities
Act, as may be necessary to keep each such Registration Statement effective (and the Prospectus contained therein current and available
for use) at all times during the Registration Period for such Registration Statement, and, during such period, comply with the provisions
of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company required to be covered by such Registration
Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company covenants and agrees that at or before 8:30
a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately following the Effective Date of the Initial Registration Statement and
any New Registration Statement (or any post-effective amendment thereto), the Company shall file with the Commission in accordance with
Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act the final Prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement
(or post-effective amendment thereto). The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement
thereto) included in each Registration Statement in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act and with the securities or “Blue
Sky” laws of the jurisdictions in which the Registrable Securities may be sold by the Holders, in connection with the resale of
the Registrable Securities and for such period of time thereafter as such Prospectus (including, without limitation, any supplement thereto)
(or in lieu thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required by the Securities Act to be delivered
in connection with resales of Registrable Securities.

 

(c)
The Company shall (A) permit legal counsel for the Holders an opportunity to review and comment upon (i) each Registration Statement
at least five (5) Business Days prior to its filing with the Commission and (ii) all amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement
(including, without limitation, the Prospectus contained therein) (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q,
Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports or Prospectus Supplements the contents of which is limited to that set
forth in such reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the Commission, and (B) shall reasonably consider
any comments of the Holders and their legal counsel on any such Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto or to any Prospectus
contained therein. The Company shall promptly furnish to the Holders and their counsel, without charge, (i) electronic copies of any correspondence
from the Commission or the Staff to the Company or its representatives relating to each Registration Statement (which correspondence shall
be redacted to exclude any material, non- public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), (ii) after the same is
prepared and filed with the Commission, one (1) electronic copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s)
thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested
by the Holders, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, one (1) electronic copy of the Prospectus
included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto; provided, however, the Company shall not be required
to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus, which may be provided in .PDF format) to the Holders and their legal counsel to the
extent such document is available on EDGAR).

 

(d)
Without limiting any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Holders,
without charge, (i) after the same is prepared and filed with the Commission, at least one (1) electronic copy of each Registration Statement

therein by reference, if requested by the Holders, all exhibits thereto, (ii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, one
(1) electronic copy of the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other
number of copies as the Holders may reasonably request from time to time) and (iii) such other documents, including, without limitation,
copies of any final Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement thereto, as the Holders may reasonably request from time to time in order
to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Holders; provided, however, the Company shall not be required
to furnish any document (other than the Prospectus, which may be provided in .PDF format) to the Holders to the extent such document is
available on EDGAR).

(e) The Company shall take
such action as is reasonably necessary to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies,
the resale by the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “Blue
Sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including,
without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain
the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to maintain such
registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary
or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, the Company shall not be required
in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required
to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent

for sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice
of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

(f) The Company shall notify
the Holders and their legal counsel in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware
of such event, as a result of which the Prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (of such supplement or amendment to the Holders and their legal
counsel (or such other number of copies as such legal counsel or the Holders may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly
notify Holders and their legal counsel in writing (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement or post-effective amendment has
been filed, when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall
be delivered to Holders and their legal counsel by facsimile or e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness), and when the Company receives
written notice from the Commission that a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment will be reviewed by the Commission,
(ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or related information,
(iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate
and (iv) of the receipt of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for any additional information
relating to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related Prospectus. The Company shall respond as
promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment
thereto. Nothing in this Section 3(f) shall limit any obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement.

 

    9

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

(i) Without limiting any
obligation of the Company under the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the
Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or such other national stock
exchange as applicable. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section
3(i).

 

(j) The Company shall
cooperate with the Holders and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of Registrable Securities,
as DWAC Shares if requested by a Holder, to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such DWAC Shares to be in

regulations, including, without limitation, any applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. At the time such
DWAC shares are offered and sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, such DWAC Shares shall be free from all restrictive legends

    10

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(n)

Commission, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable
Securities (with copies to the Holders) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission.

 

(o) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(o)), at any time after the Effective Date
of a particular Registration Statement, the Company may, upon written notice to Holders, suspend Holders’ use of any prospectus
that is a part of any Registration Statement (in which event the Holders shall discontinue sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant
to such Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, but shall settle any previously made sales of Registrable Securities)
if the Company (x) is pursuing an acquisition, merger, tender offer, reorganization, disposition or other similar transaction and the
Company determines in good faith that (A) the Company’s ability to pursue or consummate such a transaction would be materially
adversely affected by any required disclosure of such transaction in such Registration Statement or other registration statement or (B)
such transaction renders the Company unable to comply with Commission requirements, in each case under circumstances that would make
it impractical or inadvisable to cause any Registration Statement (or such filings) to be used by Holders or to promptly amend or supplement
any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement on a post effective basis, as applicable, or (y) has experienced some other
material non-public event the disclosure of which at such time, in the good faith judgment of the Company, would materially adversely
affect the Company (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”); provided, however, that in no event shall
the Holders be suspended from selling Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement for a period that exceeds 45 consecutive
Trading Days or an aggregate of 90 days in any 365-day period. Upon disclosure of such information or the termination of the condition
described above, the Company shall provide prompt notice, but in any event within one (1) Business Day of such disclosure or termination,
to the Holders and shall promptly terminate any suspension of sales it has put into effect and shall take such other reasonable actions
to permit registered sales of Registrable Securities as contemplated in this Agreement (including as set forth in the first sentence
of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer
applicable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(o), the Company shall cause its transfer agent
to deliver DWAC Shares to a transferee of the Holders in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale
of Registrable Securities with respect to which (i) the Company has made a sale to Holders and (ii) the Holders have entered into a contract
for sale, and delivered a copy of the Prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable,
in each case prior to the Holders’ receipt of the notice of an Allowable Grace Period and for which the Holders have not yet settled.

with respect to such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration
pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Holders that the Holders shall furnish to the Company such
information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities
held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities

Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Holders’ receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
contemplated by Section 3(o) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment
is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(c), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver
DWAC Shares to a transferee of the Holders in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable
Securities with respect to which the Holders have entered into a contract for sale prior to the Holders’ receipt of a notice from
the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(o) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) and
for which the Holders have not yet settled.

 

(d)
The Holders covenant and agree that they shall comply with the prospectus delivery and other requirements of the Securities Act

be paid by the Company (“Registration Expenses”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in an Underwritten Offering,
reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) legal counsel selected by the Participating Holders shall be paid by the Company.

 

6.
Indemnification.

 

(a) In the event any Registrable
Securities are included in any Registration Statement under this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will,
and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Holders, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees,
agents, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the
lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who controls the Holders within the meaning of the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act and each of the directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, representatives (and any other
Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title)
of such controlling Persons (each, a “Holder Party” and collectively, the “Holders Parties”),
against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including,
without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or
expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending
any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental,
administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the Commission, whether pending or threatened, whether or not a Holder Party is or
may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims
(or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made
in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction in
which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or in any Prospectus Supplement
or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being,
collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Holders Parties,
promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by
them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification
agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by a Holder Party arising out of or based upon a Violation
which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder Party for such Holder
Party expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement or any
such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) shall not be available to the Holders to the extent such Claim is based on a failure
of the Holders to deliver or to cause to be delivered the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) made available by the Company (to the
extent applicable), including, without limitation, a corrected Prospectus, if such Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) or corrected
Prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d) and then only if, and to the extent that, following
the receipt of the corrected Prospectus no grounds for such Claim would have existed; and (iii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Holder Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by the Holders pursuant to Section 9.

 

    13

     

    

 

(b)
In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder is participating, such Holder agrees to severally and not jointly,
indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each
of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Company Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to
which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages
arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information relating to the Holders furnished to the Company by the Holders expressly for use in connection
with such Registration Statement, the Prospectus included therein or any Prospectus Supplement thereto; and, subject to Section 6(c)
and the below provisos in this Section 6(b), the Holders shall reimburse a Company Party any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such Company Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, the indemnity
agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not
apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Holders, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further that the Holders shall be liable under this Section 6(b)
for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Holders as a result of the applicable
sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement. Such indemnity shall remain
in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Party and shall survive the transfer of
any of the Registrable Securities by the Holders pursuant to Section 9.

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

7. Contribution.

 

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

 

8.  Reports
Under the Exchange Act.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

    15

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

9. Assignment of
Registration Rights.

 

The Company shall not assign
this Agreement or any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder. The Holders may assign this Agreement and their respective
rights and obligations hereunder without the prior consent of the Company; provided, if the Holders assign such rights, then it will promptly
notify the Company of such assignment.

 

10. Amendment
or Waiver.

 

No provision of this Agreement
may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one Trading Day immediately preceding the date of filing of the
Initial Registration Statement with the Commission. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement may
be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto or (ii) waived other than in a written instrument signed
by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement
or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

 

11. Miscellaneous.

 

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

 

(b)
Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement shall
be given in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Purchase Agreement.

 

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

 

    16

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

(f) This Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors. This Agreement is not for the benefit
of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any Person, other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and the Persons
referred to in Sections 6 and 7 hereof.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(j) The language used in
this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party.
