If such Supporting Party is not a natural person, (A) such Supporting Party has all requisite power and authority to execute

or performance by such Supporting Party of this Agreement or the consummation by such Supporting Party of the transactions contemplated
hereby. None of the

 

    2 

     

    

execution,
delivery or performance by such Supporting Party of this Agreement nor the consummation by such Supporting Party of the transactions
contemplated hereby will (with the lapse of time, the giving of notice or both) (a) conflict with, violate or result in any
breach of or default under any provision of such Supporting Party’s Organizational Documents (if applicable), (b) except
as set forth on Schedule 3.5 to the Merger Agreement, require any filing with, notice to or the obtaining of any permit, authorization,

Notices. Each Supporting Party agrees that all notices to the Supporting Parties shall be sent to the Stockholders’
Representative in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Merger Agreement.

 

(e)           
Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any rights, benefits or
obligations set forth herein may be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred by any of the parties hereto without the prior
written consent of the other parties hereof, except that Buyer or Merger Sub may delegate, transfer or assign its rights and obligations
under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its Affiliates at any time and, after the Closing
Date, to any Person, it being understood that any such assignment shall not relieve Buyer or Merger Sub (as applicable) of its
obligations hereunder.

 

(f)           
Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective
and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision

 

    8 

     

    

of
this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

(g)           
No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties
hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person. The use of the word
“including” in this Agreement or in any of the agreements contemplated hereby shall be by way of example rather than
by limitation. All words used in this Agreement should be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require.
The terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and other similar terms refer
to this Agreement as a whole and not only to the particular Article, Section or other subdivision in which any such terms may
be employed.

 

(h)           
No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon
or give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights or remedies
under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(i)           
Complete Agreement. This Agreement contains the complete agreement between the parties and supersede any prior understandings,
agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof
in any way.

 

(j)           
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, any one of which may be by facsimile,
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by
means of Electronic Delivery shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered
to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto shall
raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted
or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever
waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

 

(k)           
Governing Law This Agreement and any Legal Dispute of any kind or any nature (whether at law or in equity, based
upon contract, tort or otherwise) that is any way related to this Agreement or any of the transactions related hereto (including
the interpretation, construction, validity, effect, performance, remedies and enforcement of this Agreement, or the negotiation,
execution or performance of any of the transactions related hereto (including any Legal Dispute based upon, arising out of, or
related to any representation or warranty made in this Agreement)) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Delaware (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws
thereof) as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.

 

(l)           
Jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that any Legal Dispute shall be brought only to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware

 

    9 

     

    

or
the federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and each party hereto hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts
(and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or
proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in
an inconvenient forum. During the period that a Legal Dispute that is filed in accordance with this Section ‎6(l) is
pending before a court, all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute, including
any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court. Each party hereto
hereby waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any Legal Dispute, that (a) such Person is not subject to the personal
jurisdiction thereof, (b) such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such court, (c) such
action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (d) the venue of such action, suit or proceeding is improper.
A final judgment in any action, suit or proceeding described in this Section ‎6(l) following the expiration of any
period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions
by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Laws.

 

(m)           
Specific Performance, Injunctive Relief. In addition to and not in derogation of any other remedy available at law
(or in equity) for such breach, the parties hereto will be entitled to seek specific performance, injunctive or other equitable
relief in order to enforce their rights under or prevent any violations (whether anticipatory, continuing or future) of the terms
hereof with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby in the event of breach by any other party. The foregoing sentence
will not be construed as a waiver by any party hereto of any right such Person may now have or hereafter acquire to monetary damages
from the other parties. Each party hereby waives any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such equitable
remedy and the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the
equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement on the basis
that monetary damages would be sufficient.

 

(n)           
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY
CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND FOR
ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS
PROHIBITED, NO PARTY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, unless failure to bring such counterclaim would result in a waiver
or estoppel thereof, or otherwise prejudice such Party’s rights in any respect. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY SHALL SEEK
TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL DISPUTE IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

 

    10 

     

    

(o)           
Expenses. Each of the parties hereto shall be solely responsible for and shall bear all of its own costs and expenses
incident to its obligations under and in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
