AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO 

POST-RETIREMENT MEDICAL BENEFITS COVERAGE AGREEMENT 

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Post-Retirement Medical Benefits Coverage Agreement effective as
of December 27, 2007 is entered into effective as of January 31, 2017, by VCA Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Tomas W. Fuller, an individual (“Executive”). 

RECITALS 
 WHEREAS,
the Company and Executive are parties to that certain Post-Retirement Medical Benefits Coverage Agreement, effective as of December 27, 2007 (the “Agreement”); and 

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to amend the Agreement as provided for herein. 

AMENDMENT 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein, the parties hereto amend the Agreement as follows: 

1.    Section 1.1 of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated to read in full as follows: 

1.1.    “Following termination of Executive’s position as an employee of the
Company, at Executive’s option, the Company shall continue to provide medical benefits coverage for Executive and his family (for all purposes of this agreement, references to family or spouse shall include a registered domestic partner)
commencing on or after the date Executive attains (or in the case of surviving family, would have attained) age 53, until the last to occur of (a) Executive’s death, (b) the death of Executive’s spouse, or (c) the end of the
month in which occurs the attainment of age 30 by each of Executive’s children; provided, however, that medical benefit coverage for each of Executive’s children shall cease at the end of the month in which such child’s 30th birthday
occurs (unless such child is disabled, in which case coverage shall continue), if earlier. Such medical benefits coverage shall be at least as favorable as the most favorable level, type and basis of medical coverage provided to Executive and his
family at any time within five years before termination of Executive’s employment with the Company. Upon Executive’s or any eligible family member’s eligibility for Medicare (or a similar program), Executive or any such eligible
family member shall have the option, but not the obligation, to enroll in Medicare (or such similar program). If Executive or any eligible family member elects to enroll in such program, then the Company’s obligation hereunder to such enrolled
person shall be limited thereafter to providing Medicare supplemental coverage and executive medical excess claims insurance coverage (to the extent such coverage continues 

 
to be in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination of employment) or substantially similar policies. Any reference in this Agreement to the term “Executive Edge Medical
Reimbursement Insurance” means executive medical excess claims insurance coverage.” 
 2.    A new
Section 1.4 hereby is added to read in full as follows: 
 “1.4    In addition
to the medical benefits coverage provided in Section 1.1, for a period of seven years following the date of termination of Executive’s position as an employee of the Company, Executive will continue to be eligible for pet care benefits
(currently, in the form of an employee discount) on the same terms as provided from time to time by the Company to its executive officers; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement will, in any manner
whatsoever, directly or indirectly, require the Company to maintain pet care benefits for its executive officers or otherwise prohibit the Company from amending, modifying, curtailing, discontinuing, or otherwise terminating the pet care benefits
provided at any time to its executive officers (whether before or after the date of Executive’s termination).” 

3.    The introductory paragraph of Section 3 of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated to read in full as
follows: 
 “3.    Conditions to Coverage. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 1.1 hereof, the obligation to provide medical benefits coverage and pet care benefits under this Agreement shall be subject to the following additional limitations and conditions, as applicable.” 

4.    The introductory paragraph of Section 3.2 of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated to read in full as
follows: 
 “3.2.    The coverage under this Agreement shall cease and Company
shall have no further obligation to provide medical benefits coverage or pet care benefits to Executive or to any eligible family member in the event that Executive directly or indirectly causes any person or entity controlled by Executive:”

 5.    Effect of Amendment. Except as specifically set forth above, the Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect, and is hereby ratified and confirmed, as expressly amended hereby, in all respects. 

6.    Miscellaneous. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be considered
to be an original, and all such executed counterparts will together constitute one document. The provisions of this Amendment are severable, and if any one or more provisions are determined to be judicially unenforceable, in whole or in part, the
remaining provisions will nevertheless be binding and enforceable. No amendment or modification of this Amendment or waiver of the terms and conditions hereof shall be binding unless approved in writing by each of the parties hereto. Except to the
extent governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, this Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

cause to be filed an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement relating to the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Registrable

Any subsequently filed Registration Statement shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, provided that at the
time such Registration Statement is filed, the Company is a WKSI. No Registrable Securityholder shall be named as an “underwriter”
in any Registration Statement without such Registrable Securityholder’s prior written consent.

 

    	 	4	 

     

    

  

Section
2.2           Event; Liquidated Damages. If: (i) after the
Effective Time, (A) a Registration Statement ceases for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a stop order,
or the Company’s failure to update the Registration Statement), to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities
for which it is required to be effective or (B) the Holders are not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell
such Registrable Securities (in the case of (A) and (B), other than during an Allowable Blackout Period), (ii) a Blackout
Period exceeds the length or number, in each case individually or in the aggregate, of an Allowable Blackout Period, or (iii) during
the period beginning on the six-month anniversary of the Effective Time and ending as of the expiration of the Effectiveness Period,
and only in the event a Registration Statement is not available to sell all Registrable Securities, the Company fails to file
with the Commission any required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act such that the Company is not in compliance
with Rule 144(c)(1) or Rule 144(i)(2) as a result of which the Registrable Securityholders who are not affiliates are unable to
sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (or any successor thereto) (any such failure or breach in clauses
(i) through (iii) above being referred to as an “Event,” and, for purposes of clauses (i) or (iii), the date
on which such Event occurs and for purposes of clause (ii) the date on which such Allowable Blackout Period is exceeded, being
referred to as an “Event Date”), then in addition to any other rights the Registrable Securityholders may have
hereunder or under applicable law, on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date ending with the monthly anniversary immediately
following the cure of the applicable Event (or if any such monthly anniversary is not a Business Day, then on the next Business
Day) (each such monthly anniversary (or following Business Day), a “Payment Date”), the Company shall pay to
each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty:

 

(x)          In
the event that during the entirety of the applicable Default Trading Period, the 100 trading day period specified in Section 4.8
of the Merger Agreement remains in effect (such 100 trading day period, the “Section 4.8 Period”), an
amount equal to: (A) 1.0% of the Average Price multiplied by (B) the number of Registrable Securities that both
(I) were held by such Registrable Securityholder on the applicable Event Date and (II) would have been permitted to
be sold during the applicable Default Trading Period in accordance with the trading limitation in Section 4.8 of the Merger
Agreement (disregarding any right of a Registrable Securityholder to reallocate its pro rata portion of the aggregate trading
limit to another Registrable Securityholder on any given trading day);

 

(y)          In
the event that the Section 4.8 Period has expired prior to commencement of the applicable Default Trading Period, an amount equal
to: (A) 1.0% of the Average Price multiplied by (B) the number of Registrable Securities that were held by such
Registrable Securityholder on the applicable Event Date; provided, however, that if the applicable Event is cured
prior to the latest possible end date of such Default Trading Period, the liquidated damages calculated under this clause (y)
shall be prorated based upon the actual number of trading days in the Default Trading Period relative to the maximum number of
trading days that could have occurred in such Default Trading Period if the Event had not been cured; and

 

(z)          In
the event that the Section 4.8 Period expires during the applicable Default Trading Period, an amount equal to the sum of:

 

    	 	5	 

     

    

  

(1)         (A) 1.0%
of the Average Price multiplied by (B) the number of Registrable Securities that both (I) were held by such Registrable
Securityholder on the applicable Event Date and (II) would have been permitted to be sold during the portion of the Default
Trading Period during which the Section 4.8 Period is continuing in accordance with the trading limitation in Section 4.8
of the Merger Agreement (disregarding any right of a Registrable Securityholder to reallocate its pro rata portion of the aggregate
trading limit to another Registrable Securityholder on any given trading day); and

 

(2)         (A) 1.0%
of the Average Price, multiplied by (B) the number of Registrable Securities that were held by such Registrable Securityholder
on the applicable Event Date, multiplied by (C) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of trading days
in the Default Trading Period following the expiration of the Section 4.8 Period and the denominator of which is the maximum number
of total trading days that could have occurred in the Default Trading Period disregarding any earlier cure of the applicable Event.

 

The
parties agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no liquidated damages shall be payable (i) with respect to
any period during which the Registrable Securities may be sold by non-affiliates without volume or manner of sale restrictions
under Rule 144 and the Company was in compliance with the current public information requirements under Rule 144 (including
under Rule 144(c)(1) and Rule 144(i)(2)), as determined by counsel to the Company (which may be in-house counsel) pursuant to
a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and reasonably acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and (ii) with
respect to any period after the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, and in no event shall the aggregate amount of liquidated
damages payable to a Registrable Securityholder exceed, in the aggregate, twelve percent (12%) of the Average Price multiplied
by the number of Registrable Securities held by such Registrable Securityholder as of the Event Date. If the Company fails
to pay any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 2.2 in full within five (5) Business Days after the date payable, the Company
will pay interest thereon at a rate of 1.0% per month (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable
law) to the Registrable Securityholder, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus
all such interest thereon, are paid in full.

III.

by any Registrable Securityholder, such holders’ legal counsel, copies of each such amendment and supplement to the Registration

shall have the opportunity to review and comment on any such amendment or supplement. The Company shall make available to the
Registrable Securityholders each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the Commission or the staff of the Commission

    	 	6	 

     

    

  

Section
3.2           Effectiveness Period. After the Registration Statement
has become effective, and subject to any Blackout Periods, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration
Statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may
be sold without volume or manner of sale restrictions under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance
with the current public information requirements under Rule 144 (including under Rule 144(c)(1) and Rule 144(i)(2)), as determined
by counsel to the Company (which may be in-house counsel), or (ii) such time as all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement have been publicly sold either pursuant to the Registration Statement in accordance with the plan of distribution set
forth therein or pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall prepare and file with
the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions
of the Securities Act for the Effectiveness Period.

 

Section
3.3            Notification. After the filing of the Registration
Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto, the Company shall promptly notify the Registrable Securityholders of such filing,
and shall further notify the Registrable Securityholders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within one
(1) Business Day of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement
becomes effective; (ii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Company shall take
all commercially reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iii) any
request by the Commission for (x) any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto
or (y) a Suspension Notice.

 

Section
3.4           Blackout Periods. Upon the happening of any event
as a result of which (i) the prospectus included in the Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact
or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) the Company files a post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement that is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly notify
the Registrable Securityholders (such notice, a “Suspension Notice”) and each Registrable Securityholder will
forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement until such Registrable Securityholder
is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed (or the post-effective amendment has been declared
effective, as applicable) and is furnished with a supplemented or amended prospectus (a “Blackout Period”);
provided, however, that such postponement of sales of Registrable Securities by the Registrable Securityholders
shall not exceed fifteen (15) days in the aggregate in any three-month period. A Blackout Period that does not violate any of
the restrictions on Blackout Periods set forth herein is referred to in this Agreement as an “Allowable Blackout Period.”
In no event shall any such notice under this Section 3.4 contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information
regarding the Company, any of its subsidiaries or the Common Stock.

Section

under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Registrable Securityholders
included in the Registration Statement may reasonably request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Authorities as may be necessary
by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable
to enable the Registrable Securityholders to consummate, and the Company shall not knowingly take any action that would otherwise
restrict, the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify
but for this paragraph or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction. The Company represents and warrants that no Registration
Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and Prospectuses contained therein) shall 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
not misleading (except that the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to information furnished to the Company
by or on behalf of a Registrable Securityholder, any other security holder or any underwriters specifically for use therein).

 

Section
3.6           Earnings Statement. The Company shall comply with

Statement, without the prior written consent of the Company.

 

    	 	8

any Suspension Notice from the Company, each Registrable Securityholder shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement for a reasonable period of time as set forth in Section 3.4 until such Registrable
Securityholder receives notice that the supplemented or amended prospectus has been filed and, if so directed by the Company,
each Registrable Securityholder will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s

of any Registration Statement filed after the Effective Time, including amendments and supplements thereto. At least five (5)
Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement filed after the Effective Time, the Company
shall notify each Registrable Securityholder of the information the Company requires from such holder if such holder elects to
have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. The Company’s obligations under Article II
hereof to file the Registration Statement and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared
effective and to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the Effectiveness Period, with respect to each Registrable
Securityholder, are conditioned on the receipt of such information, and to the extent any Registrable Securityholder has failed
to provide the Company with such information, the Company's obligations with respect to such Registrable Securityholder (but not
with respect to any other Registrable Securityholder) will be suspended (but not otherwise diminished) until such requested information
has been provided to the Company.

Section
3.12         Required Underwriter. If any Registrable Securityholder is required
under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter, at the reasonable request of
such Registrable Securityholder, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to (i) make available for inspection by the
Registrable Securityholders and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any Registrable Securityholder, all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company as shall be reasonably necessary to enable
them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply
all information reasonably requested by any of them in connection with the Registration Statement, subject to prior receipt by
the Company of any confidentiality agreements as the Company may reasonably request from the Registrable Securityholders and any
attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any of the Registrable Securityholders, as applicable, and (ii) furnish
to such Registrable Securityholder, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to
time on such dates as such Registrable Securityholder may reasonably request (A) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s
independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants
to underwriters in an underwritten public offering of securities such as the Common Shares, addressed to such Registrable Securityholder,
and (B) an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company, including in-house counsel to the Company (as to
matters typically opined on by in-house counsel), for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as
is customarily given in an underwritten public offering of securities such as the Common Shares, addressed to such Registrable
Securityholder.

 

Article

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

 

Section
4.1           Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law each Registrable Securityholder, each of such Registrable
Securityholder’s respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each
person, if any, who controls a Registrable Securityholder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act) (each, a “Registrable Securityholder Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses,
losses, judgments, claims, damages, liabilities or actions, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue
statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus,
final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration
Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable federal, state, “blue sky” or common law or any rule or regulation promulgated
thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with the Registration
Statement. The Company shall promptly reimburse the Registrable Securityholder Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses
reasonably incurred by such Registrable Securityholder Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such
expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable
to any Registrable Securityholder Indemnified Party in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, judgment, claim,
damage, liability or action arises out of or is based upon (i) any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or
any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by
such Registrable Securityholder Indemnified Party expressly for use therein or (ii) the use by such Person of any prospectus in
violation of any stop order or other suspension of the Registration Statement of which the Company made such Person aware.

Section
4.2           Indemnification by the Registrable Securityholders.
Each selling Registrable Securityholder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers,
and each other selling holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling holder within the meaning of the Securities
Act, against any losses, judgments, claims, damages, liabilities or actions, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses,
judgments, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement
of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus
contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are
based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished
in writing to the Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and
officers, and each other selling holder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, each selling holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint
and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder upon the sale of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

Section
4.3           Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after
receipt by any Person of any notice of any loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action in respect of which indemnity may
be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any other Person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other Person (the “Indemnifying
Party”) in writing of the loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that
the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability
which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party
is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action
brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and,
to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election
to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and
the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no
more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling Persons who may be subject to liability
arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party,
with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel
of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent
to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified
Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment
or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.
No Indemnified Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect
any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding for which it is seeking indemnity hereunder.

Section
4.4           Contribution.

 

(a)          If
the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect
of any loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the Company and each Registrable Securityholder
whose Registrable Securities are included in the Registration Statement (including, for this purpose, any contribution made by
or on behalf of such Registrable Securityholder), shall contribute to the loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and the Registrable Securityholders in connection
with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or such Registrable Securityholder and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

(b)          The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined on a
pro rata basis or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
Section 4.4(a).

 

(c)          The
amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action referred
to in Section 4.4(a) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred
by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions
of this Section 4.4(c), no Registrable Securityholder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess
of the dollar amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities that gave
rise to such contribution obligation exceeds the amount of any damages that such Registrable Securityholder has otherwise been
required to pay under Section 4.2 by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. This Section 4.4 is intended to supersede any right to
contribution under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise.

Article

RULE 144 REPORTING

 

Section
5.1           Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall file
any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and shall take such further action as the
Registrable Securityholders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holders to sell
Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule
144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted
by the Commission. The foregoing shall in no way reduce the rights of Registrable Securityholders hereunder. The Company agrees
at its cost and expense to use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) make and keep available current public information about the
Company in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and Rule 144(i)(2) under the Securities Act; (ii) file with the Commission in a timely
manner all reports and other documents the Company may be required to file under the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish to each Registrable
Securityholder, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act.

 

Article

TERMINATION; MERGERS AND RECAPITALIZATIONS

 

Section
6.1           Termination. This Agreement shall terminate with respect
to any Registrable Securityholder (but not with respect to any other Registrable Securityholder) on the date on which such Registrable
Securityholder no longer owns any Registrable Securities. This Agreement will terminate on the date on which there are no Registrable
Securities outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the provisions of Section 2.2 (with respect to any accrued obligation
to pay liquidated damages thereunder, as well as any interest thereon) and Article IV shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and (ii) to the extent any shares of Common Stock that have ceased to be Registrable Securities once again become Registrable
Securities in accordance with the proviso at the end of the definition of “Registrable Securities,” then this Agreement
shall be revived and once again effective.

 

Section
6.2           Mergers and Recapitalizations.

 

(a)          The
Company shall not, directly or indirectly, effect a change of control or reorganization event of the Company in which the Company
shall not be the surviving entity unless the proposed surviving entity shall, prior to effecting a change of control or reorganization
event of the Company, agree in writing to assume the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, and for that purpose references
hereunder to “Registrable Securities” shall be deemed to be references to the securities that the Registrable Securityholders
would be entitled to receive in exchange for Registrable Securities under the terms of any such agreement to effect a change of
control or reorganization event of the Company; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 6.2 shall
not apply in the event of any merger, consolidation, or reorganization in which the Company is not the surviving corporation if
all the Registrable Securityholders are entitled to receive in exchange for their Registrable Securities consideration consisting
solely of (A) cash, (B) securities of the acquiring corporation that may be immediately sold to the public without registration
under the Securities Act, or (C) a combination of the consideration described in both clauses (A) and (B).

 

    	 	13	 

     

    

  

(b)          If,
and as often as, there is any change in the Common Stock by way of a stock split, combination, stock dividend, reclassification,
or the like, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment
shall be made in the provisions hereof so that the rights and privileges granted hereby to the Registrable Securityholders with
respect to the Registrable Securities shall not be diminished or adversely affected.

 

Article
VII.
