      GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

       

       2.01       Designation and Principal Amount.  The Notes may be issued from time to time upon written
        order of the Corporation for the authentication and delivery of Notes pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Base Indenture.  There is hereby authorized a series of Securities designated as the 5.75% Senior Notes due 2025 having an initial aggregate
        principal amount of $60,000,000.

       

      
        2

        
          

      

      2.02       Maturity.  The date upon which the Notes shall become due and
        payable at final maturity, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, is June 30, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”).

       

      2.03       Form, Payment and Appointment.  Except as provided in the last four
        paragraphs of Section 3.5 of the Base Indenture, the Notes will be issued only in book-entry form as Global Securities.  Principal of and interest on the Notes will be payable in global form registered in the name of or held by The Depository Trust
        Corporation (“DTC”) or its nominee in immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of such Global Note (as hereinafter defined).  The principal of any
        certificated Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for such purpose which shall initially be the principal office of the Trustee at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10286, Attn: Global Corporate Trust; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Corporation by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such address as shall appear in the Security Register or by wire
        transfer to an account appropriately designated by the Person entitled to payment; provided that the paying agent shall have received written notice of such account designation at least five Business Days
        prior to the date of such payment (subject to surrender of the relevant Note in the case of a payment of interest on the Maturity Date).

       

      The Corporation hereby appoints the Trustee to act as Security Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes.

       

      The Notes will be issuable and may be transferred only in minimum denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000.  The specified currency of the Notes shall be U.S.
        Dollars.

       

      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture, (i) all payments on Global Notes may be made pursuant to the Applicable Procedures and (ii) any notice required to be given to
        Holders under this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for a Global Note (or its designee), pursuant to the Applicable Procedures, not later than the latest date (if any), and not
        earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice.

       

       2.04      Global Note.  The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of
        one or more fully registered global notes (each such global note, a “Global Note”) deposited with DTC or its designated custodian or such other Depositary as any officer of the Corporation may from time to
        time designate.  Unless and until a Global Note is exchanged for Notes in certificated form, such Global Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Notes shall be made, only to DTC or a nominee of DTC, or to a
        successor Depositary selected or approved by the Corporation or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

       

      
        3

        
          

      

      2.05       Interest.

       

      (a)          Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date with respect to the Notes shall be the amount of interest accrued
        from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or from and including the original issue date of June 23, 2020, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for
        with respect to the Notes) to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, an “Interest Period”).

       

      (b)          The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 5.75% per annum from and including June 23, 2020 until the principal of the Notes has been
        paid in full or a sum sufficient to pay the principal of the Notes has been made available for payment.  Interest on the Notes shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing December 30, 2020, to the Persons in whose names the relevant Notes are registered at the close of business on the June 15 and December 15 immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment
        Date (each such date, a “Regular Record Date”), except as provided in Section 2.05(c).

       

      (c)          The amount of interest payable for any Interest Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
        months.  In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date for the Notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day which is a Business
        Day (and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after such scheduled Interest Payment Date).

       

      (d)          In the event that the Maturity Date for any Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the related payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest
        may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and no additional interest will accumulate on the amount payable for the period from and after the Maturity Date).  Interest due on the Maturity Date (whether or not an Interest Payment
        Date) of any Notes will be paid to the Person to whom principal of such Notes is payable.

       

      2.06       No Sinking Fund.  The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

       

      2.07       Payment of the Notes.  Not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date of the
        principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Notes, the Corporation shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal, redemption payments, premium, if any, and interest so becoming
        due.  All the payments must be in U.S. Dollars.

       

      ARTICLE 3

      REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES

       

      3.01       Optional Redemption.  The Notes are not subject to redemption at the option of the Corporation
        at any time except as described herein.

       

      
        4

        
          

      

      On or after three months prior to the Maturity Date of the Notes, the Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Corporation at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed
        plus in each case accrued interest to but excluding the date of redemption.

       

      If the Corporation elects to redeem the Notes, the Corporation will provide notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, or electronic transmission, addressed to the holders of record (which, in the case of registered
        global Notes, will be DTC or its nominee or a nominee of Euroclear and Clearstream) of the Notes to be redeemed.  Such mailing or transmission will be at least 10 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption.  Each notice of
        redemption will state:

       

      	

            	•	
              the redemption date;

            

       

      	

            	•	
              the redemption price;

            

       

      	

            	•	
              if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed;

            

       

      	

            	•	
              “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number of the Notes to be redeemed;

            

       

      	

            	•	
              that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after the date of redemption; and

            

       

      	

            	•	
              the place or places where the Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

            

       

      If any Notes are redeemed, the redemption price payable to the holder of any Notes called for redemption will be payable on the applicable redemption date against the surrender to the Corporation or its agent of any
        certificate(s) evidencing the Notes called for redemption.  If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and any accrued interest on, the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the paying agent on
        or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption and such Notes will cease to be outstanding.

       

      The Notes are not subject to repayment at the option of any Holder at any time prior to maturity and are not entitled to any sinking fund.

        into the Corporation or convey, transfer, or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to the Corporation if, as a result of any such consolidation or merger or such conveyance, transfer or lease, properties or assets of the
        Corporation would become subject to a mortgage, pledge, lien, security interest or other encumbrance which would not be permitted by the Indenture, unless the Corporation or such successor Person, as the case may be, shall take such steps as shall
        be necessary effectively to secure the Securities equally and ratably with (or prior to) all indebtedness secured thereby.

       

      4.02        Sale or Issuance of Capital Stock of Principal Subsidiary Bank or Intermediate Bank Holding Company.

        shares of Capital Stock (as defined herein) of a Principal Subsidiary Bank (as defined herein) or Intermediate Bank Holding Company (as defined herein) or any securities convertible into or rights to subscribe to such Capital Stock provided, however, the foregoing shall not prohibit any of the following: (1) any payment of a dividend of a class of Capital Stock of a Principal Subsidiary Bank or
        Intermediate Bank Holding Company that is solely paid pro-rata to all holders of such class of Capital Stock; (2) any dispositions or dividends made by the Corporation or any Principal Subsidiary Bank or Intermediate Bank Holding Company acting in
        a fiduciary capacity for any Person other than the Corporation or any Principal Subsidiary Bank or Intermediate Bank Holding Company or to the Corporation or any Wholly Owned Subsidiary; (3) the merger or consolidation of (x) a Principal Subsidiary

        required by law, to any Person for the purpose of the qualification of such Person to serve as a director; or (B) the sale, assignment, pledge, transfer or other disposition or issuance is made in compliance with an order of a court or regulatory
        authority of competent jurisdiction or as a condition imposed by any such court or regulatory authority to the acquisition by the Corporation or any Principal Subsidiary Bank or Intermediate Bank Holding Company, directly or indirectly, of any
        other Person; or (C) the sale, assignment, pledge, transfer or other disposition or issuance of Voting Stock or any other securities convertible into or rights to subscribe to Voting Stock of a Principal Subsidiary Bank or Intermediate Bank Holding
        Company, so long as: (i) any such transaction is made for fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors and the board of directors of the Principal Subsidiary Bank or Intermediate Bank Holding Company disposing of such Voting Stock or
        other securities or rights, and (ii) after giving effect to such transaction and to any potential dilution, and the shares to be issued upon conversion of such securities or exercise of such rights into that Capital Stock, the Corporation and its
        Wholly Owned Subsidiaries will own, directly or indirectly, at least 80% of the Voting Stock of such Principal Subsidiary Bank or Intermediate Bank Holding Company; (5) any Principal Subsidiary Bank or Intermediate Bank Holding Company from selling
        additional shares of Voting Stock to its shareholders at any price, so long as immediately after such sale, the Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, at least as great a percentage of the Voting Stock of such Principal Subsidiary Bank as the
        Corporation owned prior to such sale of additional shares; or (6) a pledge made or a lien created to secure loans or other extensions of credit by a Principal Subsidiary Bank subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act.

        preferred stock, but excluding any debt securities convertible into such equity, “Voting Stock” shall mean stock which ordinarily has voting power for the election of directors, whether at all times or only
        so long as no senior class of stock has such voting power by reason of any contingency, and “Principal Subsidiary Bank” shall mean any subsidiary of the Corporation that is a bank or trust company organized
        and doing business under any state or federal law, the consolidated assets of which constitute 50% or more of the consolidated assets of the Corporation.  “Intermediate Bank Holding Company” shall mean any

      5.01       Appointment of a Receiver.  In addition to the Events of Default set forth in Section 5.1 of
        the Base Indenture, an Event of Default shall occur with respect to the Notes, in the event (i) a receiver, conservator or similar official is appointed for the Corporation’s Principal Subsidiary Bank (which, for the avoidance of doubt, as of the
        date hereof, is Amerant Bank, N.A.) or (ii) a default under a bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Corporation, the Guarantor or any Principal Subsidiary Bank that has a principal amount outstanding that
        is more than $25 million (other than non-recourse indebtedness) under the terms of the instrument under which the indebtedness is issued or secured, which default has caused the indebtedness to become due and payable earlier than it would otherwise
        have become due and payable, and the acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled, or the indebtedness has not been discharged, or there has not been deposited in trust enough money to discharge the indebtedness, and continuance of such default
        or breach for a period of 30 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Corporation or the Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Corporation, the Guarantor and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal
        amount of the Notes a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” under this Indenture.  Such Event of Default shall
        be treated for all purposes under the Indenture as if it were an Event of Default under Section 5.1(1) of the Base Indenture.

        of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such further notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such further notes) in order that such further notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the

        is in all respects ratified and confirmed, and this Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed part of the Base Indenture in the manner and to the extent herein and therein provided.

       

      9.02       Conflict.  If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof
        which is required to be included in this Supplemental Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, such required provision shall control.

       

      9.03       Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals.  The recitals herein contained are made by the Corporation and the Guarantor and not
        by the Trustee, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof.  The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture.

       

      9.04       New York Law to Govern.  THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, THE GUARANTEE AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE
        DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SAID STATE.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
        BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

       

      9.05       Separability.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplemental
        Indenture or in the Notes or in the Guarantee shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then, to the extent permitted by law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
        provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or of the Notes or the Guarantee, but this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantee shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein
        or therein.

       

      9.06       Additional Trustee Provisions.

       

      (a)          Delivery to the Trustee of any reports, information and documents pursuant to the Base Indenture is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of
        such reports, information and documents shall not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the compliance of the Corporation and the
        Guarantor with any of their covenants in the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

       

      
        9

        
          

      

      (b)          The Trustee may request that the Corporation and the Guarantor deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
        authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as
        so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

       

      (c)          In no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive, or consequential loss or damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, lost profits),
        even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such damage and regardless of the form of action taken.

       

      (d)          The rights, privileges, protections, indemnities, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are
        extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

       

      (e)          The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other
        similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated
        persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing.  If the Corporation or the Guarantor elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions
        by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling.  The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses
        arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding that such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction.  The Corporation and the Guarantor
        agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including, without limitation, the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or
        interception and misuse by third parties.

       

      9.07       Counterparts.  This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
        of which shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

      AMERANT BANCORP, INC., a Florida corporation (herein called the “Corporation”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof),
        for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of          million United States dollars on June 30, 2025 and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on June 30, 2025, or if such day is
        not a Business Day, the following Business Day.  The Corporation further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from and including June 23, 2020, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been
        paid or duly provided for, semiannually in arrears on June 30 and December 30 in each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing December 30, 2020 at the rate of 5.75% per annum, computed for any full
        semiannual period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and computed for any partial semiannual period on the actual days elapsed during such period, until the principal hereof is due, and at the rate of 5.75% per annum on any
        overdue principal amounts, and, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue interest.

       

      The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities)
        is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date (defined below) for such interest, which shall be the June 15 or December 15, as the case may be, of each year (whether or not a Business Day) (each such date, a “Regular Record Date”).  Interest on the Outstanding Notes payable at maturity will be payable to the persons to whom principal is payable next preceding such Interest Payment Date.  In any case where such
        Interest Payment Date shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture) payment of such interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
        effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, and, if such payment is so made, no interest shall accrue on such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date.  Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, any such interest
        not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close
        of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Corporation, with notice thereof to be given by the Trustee to Holders of Notes not less than 10 days prior to the Special Record Date, or be paid at
        any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any automated quotation system or securities exchange on which the Notes may be quoted or listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such system or exchange, all
        as more fully provided in the Indenture.

       

      All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

      Payment of principal and interest shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at such other office or agency of the Corporation as may be designated by the Corporation for such purpose, in such coin
        or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, by Dollar check drawn on, or transfer to, a Dollar account.  Payments of interest on this Note may be made by Dollar
        check, drawn on a Dollar account, mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register, or, upon written application by the Holder to the Security Registrar setting forth wire instructions not
        later than the relevant Record Date, by transfer to a Dollar account.

       

      Except as specifically provided herein and in the Indenture, the Corporation shall not be required to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or any
        political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.

       

      Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

       

      Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof or an Authenticating Agent by the manual or electronic signature of one of their respective authorized
        signatories, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or the Supplemental Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

      [FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF THE NOTE]

       

      This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of senior debt securities of the Corporation designated as its “5.75% Senior Notes due 2025” (the “Notes”). 
        The Notes, taken together, are initially limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $60,000,000 issued and are to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 23, 2020 (herein called the “Base Indenture”),
        among the Corporation, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Base Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the First
        Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 23, 2020 among the Corporation, the Guarantor and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental
        Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities
        thereunder of the Corporation, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
        set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any authorized denominations as requested by the Holder surrendering the same upon surrender of the Note or Notes to be exchanged, at the Corporate Trust Office of
        the Trustee.  The Trustee upon such surrender by the Holder will issue the new Notes in the requested denominations.

       

      On or after March 30 (three months prior to the Maturity Date), the Notes will be redeemable at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus in each case accrued interest to
        but excluding the date of redemption.

       

      If the Corporation elects to redeem the Notes, the Corporation will provide notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, or electronic transmission, addressed to the holders of record (which, in the case of registered
        global Notes, will be DTC or its nominee or a nominee of Euroclear and Clearstream) of the Notes to be redeemed.  Such mailing or transmission will be at least 10 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption.  Each notice of
        redemption will state:

       

      	

            	•	
              the redemption date;

            

       

      	

            	•	
              the redemption price;

            

       

      	

            	•	
              if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed;

            

       

      	

            	•	
               “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number of the Notes to be redeemed;

            

       

      	

            	•	
              that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after the date of redemption; and

            

       

      
        A-5

        
          

      

      	

            	•	
              the place or places where the Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

            

       

      If any Notes are redeemed, the redemption price payable to the holder of any Notes called for redemption will be payable on the applicable redemption date against the surrender to the Corporation or its agent of any
        certificate(s) evidencing the Notes called for redemption.  If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and any accrued interest on, the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with our paying agent on
        or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, then on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption and such Notes will cease to be outstanding.

       

      The Notes are not be subject to repayment at the option of any Holder at any time prior to maturity and are not entitled to any sinking fund.

       

      The Notes are unsecured and rank equally with all of the Corporation’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

       

      The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

       

      The Corporation may, without consent of the holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the Notes by issuing additional securities in the future on the same terms and conditions as the Notes, except for any
        difference in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the date of issuance of the additional securities, and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes.  The Notes and any additional Notes issued by the Corporation would rank equally and ratably
        and would be treated as a single series for all purposes under the Indenture.

       

      In any case where the due date for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note at any Place of Payment, as the case may be, is not a Business Day, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on
        or by such date at such place but may be made on or by the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for such payment, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period after such date.

       

      The Notes of this series are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to the due and punctual payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect thereof by the Guarantor as evidenced by its guarantee
        (the “Guarantee”) set forth hereon. The Guarantee is the direct and unconditional obligations of such Guarantor and ranks and will rank equally in priority of payment and in all other respects with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations
        of the Guarantor now or hereafter outstanding.

       

      
        A-6

        
          

      

      If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes, together with accrued interest to the date of declaration, may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect
        provided in the Indenture.

       

      The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Corporation and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the
        Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Corporation, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding.  The Indenture also contains
        provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Corporation and the Guarantor with certain provisions of the
        Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued
        in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.

       

      As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee
        or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written
        request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
        Outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 20 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity.  The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by
        any Holder of this Note for the enforcement of any payment of principal of or interest on this Note or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

       

      No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest
        on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

       

      The Notes will be subject to defeasance and covenant defeasance pursuant to Sections 14.2 and 14.3 of the Base Indenture.

       

      As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable on the Security Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the
        Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency of the Corporation as may be designated by it for such purpose (which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee), or at such other offices or agencies as the
        Corporation may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
        thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees by the Security Registrar.  No service charge shall be made for any such
        registration of transfer or exchange, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to recover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

       

      
        A-7

        
          

      

      Prior to due presentation of this Note for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation, the Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
        Note is registered, as the owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Corporation, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

       

      No recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Note and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Corporation and the Guarantor in the Indenture or any indenture
        supplemental thereto or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of
        the Corporation or the Guarantor or of any successor corporation or guarantor, either directly or through the Corporation or the Guarantor or any successor corporation or guarantor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or
        by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

       

      
        A-8

        
          

      

      THE NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

       

      All capitalized terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture, and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed, and has the requisite power and authorization to own its properties
and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted. The Buyer is duly qualified as
a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature
of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or
be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 2.2            Authorization;
Validity; Enforcement. The Buyer has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under
this Agreement and the applicable Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents by the Buyer and the consummation by the Buyer of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby have been, or when executed will be, duly authorized by the Buyer. This Agreement and the Transaction
Documents have been (or will be, upon execution) duly executed and delivered by the Buyer and shall constitute the legal, valid
and binding obligations of the Buyer, enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with their respective terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights
and remedies.

 

Section 2.3            Governmental
Filings. Other than (a) the filing by the Company of the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware, (b) filings with the SEC under the Securities Act and Exchange Act, (c) compliance with the

Documents by the Buyer or the consummation of the Transactions, except those that the failure to make or obtain would not reasonably
be expected to have a Buyer Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 2.4            No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Buyer of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and
the consummation by the Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (a) result in a violation of the
organizational documents of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, (b) conflict with, or constitute a default under any agreement,
indenture or instrument to which the Buyer is a party or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets
of the Buyer or (c) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company in ARTICLE III, result
in a violation of any Law or Order applicable to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or Portfolio Companies or by which any property
or asset of the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or Portfolio Companies is bound or affected, in each case other than as would not

which Investindustrial VII L.P., a limited partnership registered in England and Wales with company number LP016943 (“Fund
VII”), has committed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, to provide funding (directly or
indirectly) to the Buyer in the amounts set forth therein. As of the date of this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter is in
full force and effect and constitutes the enforceable, legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the parties thereto. As

Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock indefinitely and (B) a total
loss in respect of such investment. The Buyer has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters so as to enable
it to understand and evaluate the risks of, and form an investment decision with respect to its investment in, the Series A
Preferred Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and to protect its own
interest in connection with such investment.

nor, to the knowledge of the Buyer, any of its Affiliates or Portfolio Companies owns any capital stock or other securities of
the Company.

liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to the Company or its
Subsidiaries or Representatives of any documentation, forecasts or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing,
and the Company acknowledges the foregoing. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for the
representations and warranties made by the Buyer in this ARTICLE II, neither the Buyer nor any other Person makes or has
made any express or implied representation or warranty to the Company or its Subsidiaries or Representatives with respect to (a) any

available to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, including in due diligence materials, or management presentations
(formal or informal), in anticipation or contemplation of any of the Transactions. The Buyer expressly waives any such claim relating
to the foregoing matters, except for any such claim alleging an inaccuracy or breach of the representations and warranties expressly

by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act that would result in none of Regulation D or any other applicable exemption
from registration under the Securities Act to be available, nor will the Company take any action or steps that would cause the
offering or issuance of Series A Preferred Stock under this Agreement to be integrated with other offerings by the Company.

 

Section 3.9            SEC
Documents; Financial Statements; Undisclosed Liabilities.

 

(a)           Since
January 1, 2018, the Company has timely filed or furnished all the SEC Documents required to be filed or furnished by it with
the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of Exchange Act. As of their respective dates (or if amended or supplemented,
as of the date of such amendment or supplement, or, in the case of an SEC Document that is a registration statement filed pursuant
to the Securities Act or a proxy statement filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, on the date of effectiveness of such SEC Document
or date of the applicable meeting, respectively), the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements
of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (and in each case, the rules and regulations
of the SEC promulgated thereunder), in each case as in effect at such time. None of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed
or furnished with the SEC (or, if amended or supplemented, the date of the filing of such amendment or supplement, with respect
to the disclosures that were so amended or supplemented or, in the case of an SEC Document that is a registration statement filed
pursuant to the Securities Act or a proxy statement filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, on the date of effectiveness of such SEC
Document or date of the applicable meeting, respectively), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(b)           The
Company has established and maintains, and at all times since January 1, 2018 has maintained, (i) systems of “internal
control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements
of the Exchange Act in all material respects and have been designed by, or under the supervision of, its principal executive and
principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (A) transactions
are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (B) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain
asset accountability; (C) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorization; and (D) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals
and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences; and (ii) a system of “disclosure controls and
procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files with the SEC pursuant to the SEC’s rules and forms is recorded
and reported on a timely basis in all material respects, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information
is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as reasonably appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the times indicated in the SEC
Documents, and the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the times indicated in the SEC
Documents and, at such times, the Company was not aware of any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.
Since January 1, 2018, there has not been any Fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

 

    8

     

    

 

(c)           As
of their respective filing dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents (the “Company
Financial Statements”) complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published
rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing (except as may be indicated in
the notes thereto or, in the case of the unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q promulgated by the SEC). Such financial
statements have been prepared in all material respects in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”), consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in
such financial statements or the notes thereto, (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude
footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements or (iii) as otherwise permitted by Regulation S-X and the other rules and
regulations of the SEC) and fairly present in all material respects in accordance with GAAP the consolidated financial position
of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for
the periods shown (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments).

 

(d)           Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liabilities of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise),
except liabilities (i) reflected or reserved against in the consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto) of the Company
and its Subsidiaries included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020
(the “Balance Sheet Date”), (ii) incurred after the Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of the Company’s
business, (iii) for the performance of obligations pursuant to the terms of the contracts to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries are party and compliance with permits, licenses, consents and authorizations of Governmental Authorities to which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are subject, in each case in the ordinary course of business, (iv) as expressly contemplated
by this Agreement or otherwise incurred in connection with the Transactions, (v) that are Permitted Liens or (vi) that

duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and,

the Company (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and with a copy thereof to be furnished to the Company)
to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and if the transferee and the transferor agree for the express benefit of the Company
that the transferee shall Transfer the Prohibited Stock so Transferred back to the transferor at or before such time as the transferee
ceases to be an Affiliate of the transferor.

 

    20

(c)           Except
as otherwise permitted in this Agreement, and except for Transfers pursuant to a merger, tender offer, exchange offer or other
business combination involving the acquisition of all or substantially all of the equity interests or assets of the Company, the
Buyer will not, directly or indirectly, knowingly Transfer any Prohibited Stock to a Prohibited Transferee; provided, that Transfers
effected through a national securities exchange or in brokers’ transactions (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act) shall not be deemed to be Transfers to Prohibited Transferees.

 

(d)           Any
attempted Transfer in violation of this Section 4.6 shall be null and void ab initio.

 

Section 4.7            Public
Disclosure. The Buyer and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing, and shall give each other the opportunity
to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents
or the Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation,
except as may be required by applicable Law, Order, court process or the rules and regulations of any national securities
exchange or national securities quotation system. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.7 shall not apply to any
press release or other public statement made by the Company or the Buyer (a) which does not contain any information relating
to the Transactions that has not been previously announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (b) is
made in the ordinary course of business and does not relate specifically to the signing of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents
or the Transactions.

 

Section 4.8            Legends.

 

(i)            All
certificates or other instruments representing the Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock will bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND
MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT
UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.

 

    21

     

    

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER, OWNERSHIP AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN AN INVESTMENT AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF
JUNE 22, 2020, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH AND AVAILABLE FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER, WITHOUT COST.

 

(ii)           Upon
request of the Buyer, upon receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect
that such legend is no longer required under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Company shall promptly
cause the first paragraph of the legend to be removed from any certificate for any Prohibited Stock to be Transferred in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the second paragraph of the legend shall be removed upon the expiration of such transfer and
other restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

 

Section 4.9            Tax
Matters.

 

(a)           The
Company and any applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts of cash otherwise payable
with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock (or other securities) issued upon conversion of the Series A
Preferred Stock to the extent required to meet the requirements of applicable Law regarding withholding with respect to the Series A
Preferred Stock or Common Stock (or other securities) issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (but, for the
avoidance of doubt, not from any other amounts payable or distributable to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates), and the Company
shall accordingly pay in cash at least such portion of any Initial Dividend (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designation)
as does not exceed the amount of any such withholding tax obligation with respect to such Initial Dividend; provided, however,
that, in the event that, as a result of the portion of this sentence preceding this proviso, the Company would pay a portion of
an Initial Dividend in cash, the Company shall provide the Buyer with (x) reasonable advance written notice and (y) the
opportunity instead for the Buyer or any of its Affiliates to pay to the Company an amount of cash up to the amount of the Company’s
relevant withholding tax obligation (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, pays
any such cash to the Company, then the Company shall pay over such cash to the applicable Governmental Authority in satisfaction
of all or a portion of the Company’s withholding tax obligation, such Initial Dividend shall not be reduced on account of
any withholding tax obligation up to the amount of such cash so paid by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates and such Initial Dividend
shall be payable in cash only to the extent of the excess of the Company’s relevant withholding tax obligation over the amount
of cash so paid by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates). Any amounts that are so withheld (or paid by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates
to the Company with respect to any withholding tax) shall be timely paid over to the appropriate tax authority. Any amounts that
are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate tax authority (for the absence of doubt, but not amounts paid by the Buyer
or any of its Affiliates to the Company with respect to any withholding tax) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement,
any Transaction Document and the Company Organizational Documents as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction
and withholding was made. The Company shall cooperate in good faith and provide the Buyer (on behalf of the Buyer or any of its
Affiliates or any direct or indirect investor in the Buyer or any of its Affiliates) with such assistance as is reasonably requested
by the Buyer to eliminate or otherwise minimize the imposition of any withholding Taxes, including the preparation or filing of
any Tax Return in connection with the claim of any refund of, or credit for, withholding Taxes. At any time, the Buyer (or any
transferee) may deliver to the Company or its paying agent a duly executed copy of Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”)
Form W-8IMY, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8EXP, Form W-8ECI, or Form W-9 (or, in each case,
an applicable successor form) together with all required attachments and other required supporting documentation (the “IRS
Forms”) in order to validly establish under U.S. law that all or a portion of any dividend paid to the Buyer or any of
its Affiliates is entitled to a reduced rate of (or exemption from) U.S. withholding tax under U.S. federal income tax law or pursuant
to the terms of a relevant income tax treaty between the United States and the jurisdiction of the ultimate beneficial owner of
all or a portion of the dividend. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to inform the Buyer (or any transferee) whenever
a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any such documentation expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any respect. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Company’s right set forth above to deduct and withhold a portion of any payment of cash made to the
Buyer extends to its obligations under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any current or future regulations or official interpretations
thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation,
rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation
of such Sections of the Code (collectively, “FATCA”) and its obligations under Section 3406 of the Code
(“Backup Withholding”), and the Company may require documentation from the Buyer as U.S. law requires in order
to pay amounts free and clear of FATCA withholding or Backup Withholding (it being agreed and understood by the Company that documentation
in the form of the relevant IRS Forms, duly executed and making the relevant representations requested by such forms, permits the
Company to pay amounts covered by the IRS Forms free and clear of FATCA withholding or Backup Withholding).

 

    22

     

    

 

(b)           The
Parties shall treat the Series A Preferred Stock as stock that is not “preferred stock” within the meaning of
Section 305 of the Code and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder (such treatment, the “Tax Treatment”)
and agree to take no positions inconsistent with the Tax Treatment on any Tax Return, including on any IRS Form 1099 or IRS
Form 1042-S, except to the extent (i) that a change in applicable Law causes the Tax Treatment not to be “more
likely than not” to be upheld under applicable Law, or (ii) with respect to any position the Company takes that is inconsistent
with the Tax Treatment, the Company pays the Buyer additional amounts such that the Buyer and its Affiliates (and their respective
direct and indirect investors) receive the same amount (after Taxes) as they would have received in the absence of such inconsistent
position.

 

(c)            If,
at any time during which any Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, the Company reasonably expects that it will become
a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code,
the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Buyer in writing of such expected change in tax status before
such change in tax status occurs. The Company acknowledges that the Buyer (on behalf of itself or any of its FIRPTA-Sensitive Affiliates)
may request, and the Company shall provide within a reasonable period of time but no later than three business days before the
date of any disposition of any Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock, a duly executed statement that is substantially similar
in form to the statement attached herein as Exhibit D, which shall confirm that an interest in the Company is not and has
not been a United States real property interest (within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code and Treasury regulations
promulgated in connection therewith) because the Company is not, and was not, a United States real property holding corporation
(within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated in connection therewith)
at any time during the applicable period specified by Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code ending on the date specified
in the Buyer’s request. Upon issuance of such statement to the Buyer or any of its FIRPTA-Sensitive Affiliates, the Company
acknowledges and agrees to submit a copy of the statement to the IRS, along with a duly executed notice pursuant to Treasury regulations
Section 1.897-2(h)(2), which shall be in substantially similar form as the notice attached herein as Exhibit E, and any
supplemental statement required pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(5), within 30 days after providing the
statement to the Buyer or its FIRPTA-Sensitive Affiliate. “FIRPTA-Sensitive Affiliate” shall mean any Affiliate
of the Buyer unless Section 897(c)(3) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated in connection therewith provide
that the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock, if any, held by such Affiliate, are not United States real property
interests within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated in connection therewith
with respect to such Affiliate and its direct or indirect owners.

 

    23

     

    

 

(d)           The
Company shall pay any and all stock transfer, documentary, sales and use, registration, recording, stamp and similar Tax (“Transfer
Tax”) due on (i) the issue or delivery of the Series A Preferred Stock (including any Series A Preferred
Stock paid as a distribution) and (ii) the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities upon conversion
of the Series A Preferred Stock. However, the Company shall not be required to pay any Transfer Tax that may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock to a beneficial owner other than the beneficial owner of such Series A Preferred Stock immediately prior to such conversion,
and the person otherwise entitled to such issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock shall provide the Company with reasonable evidence that such Transfer Tax has been paid or is not payable.

 

Section 4.10          Election
of Director.

 

(a)           Effective
immediately following the Closing, the Company shall increase the size of the Board in order to elect or appoint the Buyer Designee
to the Board to serve in the class of directors that are to be elected at the third annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders
following the Closing Date and to serve for a term expiring at such meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected and
qualified. The Buyer Designee shall not be entitled to serve on any committee of the Board.

 

(b)           Upon
the occurrence of the Buyer Board Seat Fall-Away, the Buyer shall cause the Buyer Director to, and the Buyer Director shall, immediately
resign from the Board effective as of the date of the Buyer Board Seat Fall-Away, and the Buyer shall no longer have any rights
under this Section 4.10.

 

(c)           Following
the Closing and until the occurrence of the Buyer Board Seat Fall-Away, at any annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders
at which the term of the Buyer Director shall expire, the Buyer shall have the right to designate a Buyer Designee for election
to the Board at such annual meeting. The Company shall include the Buyer Designee designated by the Buyer in the Company’s
slate of nominees for the applicable annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and shall recommend that the holders of
Common Stock vote in favor of such Buyer Designee’s election and shall support the Buyer Designee in a manner no less rigorous
and favorable than the manner in which the Company supports its other nominees in the aggregate (it being understood that the Buyer
shall not be required to submit its nomination of the Buyer Designee in accordance with the time periods set forth in Section 3(a)(2) of
the Bylaws). Without the prior written consent of the Buyer, so long as the Buyer is entitled to designate a Buyer Designee for
election to the Board in accordance with this Section 4.10, the Board shall not remove the Buyer Director from his or her
directorship (except as required by Law, the Certificate of Designations or the Company Organizational Documents).

 

    24

     

    

 

(d)           In
the event of the death, disability, resignation or removal of the Buyer Director as a member of the Board (other than resignation
pursuant to Section 4.10(b)), the Buyer, if so entitled to nominate a director pursuant to this Section 4.10, may designate
a Buyer Designee to replace such Buyer Director and the Company shall fill such resulting vacancy with such Buyer Designee.

 

(e)           The
Company’s obligations to nominate, appoint, elect, recommend to stockholders, support and fill any vacancy with the Buyer
Designee pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall be subject to such Buyer Designee’s satisfaction of all objectively determinable
and reasonable requirements regarding service as a director of the Company under the Governance Documents, applicable Law and stock
exchange rules regarding service as a director of the Company, in each case as applicable and applied to each director of
the Company and excluding any aggregate criteria regarding the composition of the Board as a whole (as an example only, requirements
for a minimum number of independent directors).

 

(f)            The
Buyer Designee shall not be eligible to serve on the Board if he or she has been involved in any of the events enumerated under
Item 2(d) of Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act or Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act or is subject
to any Order prohibiting service as a director of any public company or if serving on the Board is prohibited by applicable Antitrust
Law.

 

(g)           As
a condition to the Buyer Designee’s nomination, appointment or election to the Board, the Buyer Designee must provide to
the Company (provided that the following requirements shall apply to the Buyer Designee only to extent that they are required of
each director of the Company):

 

(i)            all
information requested by the Company that is required to be or is customarily disclosed for directors, candidates for directors,
stockholders nominating directors and their respective Affiliates and Representatives in a proxy statement or other filings in
accordance with applicable Law, any stock exchange rules or listing standards or the Governance Documents, in each case, relating
to the Buyer Designee’s election as a director of the Company;

 

(ii)           all
information requested by the Company in connection with assessing eligibility and other criteria described in Section 4.10(e),
in each case, relating to the Buyer Designee’s nomination or election, as applicable, as a director of the Company; and

 

    25

     

    

 

(iii)          an
undertaking in writing by the Buyer Designee:

 

(A)          to
be subject to, bound by and duly comply with the Code of Ethics of the Company;

 

(B)           to
be subject to, bound by and duly comply with the Insider Trading Policy and “Insider Trading Policy” section of the
Stock Ownership Policy of the Company (together with the Company Organizational Documents, Corporate Governance Guidelines, Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act Policy, Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee charter and the Code of Ethics of the Company,
each as in effect on the date of this Agreement and any amendments thereof adopted by the Board following the date of this Agreement
that are applicable to all directors of the Company, reasonable and not intended to disproportionately affect the Buyer Designee
relative to other directors of the Company, the “Governance Documents”) with respect to any shares of Common
Stock owned by such Buyer Designee in his or her individual capacity; and

 

(C)           to
waive notice of and recuse himself or herself from any meetings, deliberations or discussion of the Board or any committee thereof
regarding this Agreement, any Transaction Document, the Transactions or any other transactions involving the Buyer or any of its
Affiliates; and

 

(D)           to
immediately resign from the Board upon the occurrence of the Buyer Board Seat Fall-Away, effective as of the date of the Buyer
Board Seat Fall-Away.

 

(h)           The
Company shall indemnify the Buyer Director and provide the Buyer Director with director and officer insurance to the same extent
as it indemnifies and provides such insurance to other members of the Board, pursuant to the Company Organizational Documents,
the Delaware General Corporation Law (as amended, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “DGCL”) or
otherwise. The Company acknowledges and agrees that it (i) is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations
to the Buyer Director are primary and any obligation of the Buyer or its Affiliates to advance expenses or to provide indemnification
for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Buyer Director are secondary) and (ii) shall be required to advance the
amount of expenses incurred by the Buyer Director and shall be liable for the amount of all expenses and liabilities incurred by
the Buyer Director, in each case to the same extent as it indemnifies and provides such insurance to other members of the Board,
pursuant to the Company Organizational Documents, the DGCL or otherwise, without regard to any rights the Buyer Director may have
against the Buyer or its Affiliates.

 

(i)            Prior
to the Buyer Board Seat Fall-Away, the Company shall not decrease the size of the Board without the consent of Buyer if such decrease
would require the resignation of the Buyer Director.

 

(j)            The
parties hereto agree that the Buyer Director shall not be entitled to compensation (in cash, equity or otherwise), but shall be
entitled to reimbursement from the Company for the out-of-pocket fees or expenses incurred (other than in connection with international
flights), in a manner consistent with the Company’s practices with respect to expense reimbursement for other members of
the Board, in connection with his or her service as a director of the Board.

 

    26

     

    

 

 

Section 4.11     Information
Rights. Following the Closing and until the occurrence of the Buyer Board Seat Fall-Away, in order to facilitate the
Buyer’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the beneficial ownership by the Buyer and its Affiliates
of equity securities of the Company and oversight of the Buyer’s investment in the Company, the Company agrees to provide
the Buyer with reasonable access, to the extent reasonably requested by the Buyer, to the offices and the properties of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, including its and their books and records, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and accounts with
its and their officers, all upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times and as often as the Buyer may reasonably request,
provided that (a) the Buyer keeps confidential and only uses such Confidential Information in accordance with Section 4.12
and (b) any investigation pursuant to this Section 4.11 shall be conducted in a manner as not to interfere with the
conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Company shall not be required to provide such materials if the
Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so would (i) result in the disclosure of trade secrets or competitively
sensitive information to third parties, (ii) violate an applicable Law, an applicable Order, a contract or an obligation
of confidentiality owing to a third party, (iii) jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege, attorney work
product protection or other legal privilege (provided, however, that the Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide alternative,
redacted or substitute documents or information in a manner that would not result in the loss of the ability to assert attorney-client
privilege, attorney work product protection or other legal privileges), (iv) be adverse to the interests of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries in any pending Action or any Action that has been threatened in writing or (v) expose the Company
or its Subsidiaries to risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive or personal information; provided, that the Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to disclose such information in a manner and to an extent that would not violate the foregoing.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.11, the Company shall not be deemed to have breached this Section 4.11
if the Company cannot provide to the Buyer access to any offices or properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a
result of COVID-19 or the COVID-19 Measures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) neither the Company
nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to provide any information or material that relate to, contain or reflect any analyses,
studies, notes, memoranda and other information related to or prepared in connection with this Agreement, any Transaction Document,
the Transactions or any matters relating thereto or any transactions with or matters relating to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates
and (y) the Buyer Director shall be permitted to provide information and material about the Company and its Subsidiaries,
including with respect to its and their affairs, finances and accounts, to Buyer, provided that no such information or material
include any information that the Company, in its reasonable judgment, has determined to be and has identified to the Buyer Director
as competitively sensitive information.

 

    27 

     

    

 

Section 4.12     Confidentiality.

 

(a)            Following
the Closing and until twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Buyer Board Seat Fall-Away, the Buyer shall not, and shall cause its
Representatives not to, disclose any Confidential Information to any person other than the Buyer and its Representatives and to
use the Confidential Information solely for the purposes of monitoring, administering or managing the Buyer’s investment
in the Company made pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer and its Representatives may disclose Confidential
Information in order to comply with applicable Law to the extent the Buyer or its Representatives (as applicable) is advised by
its legal counsel that it is required to make such disclosure in order to comply with Law, provided that the requirement to make
the disclosure does not arise from the Buyer’s or any of its Representatives’ breach of this Section 4.12. To
the extent practical and legally permissible, the Buyer shall, and shall direct its Representatives to, notify the Company of its
intention to make such disclosure and provide a list of the Confidential Information that it or its Representatives (as applicable)
intends to disclose prior to making such disclosure. The Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate, and to direct its Representatives
to cooperate, with the Company so that the Company may seek, at its sole cost and expense, an appropriate protective order or other
remedy. In the event that such a protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Buyer or its Representatives (as applicable)
(i) will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that, on the advice of its legal counsel, is required by
applicable Law to be disclosed and (ii) will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain reasonable assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded to such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the third,
fourth and fifth sentences of this Section 4.12 shall not apply to disclosures made (A) in response to a formal request
by a regulatory or self-regulatory authority or (B) in connection with a routine audit or examination by an auditor or examiner,
provided that, in each case, such request, audit or examination does not specifically reference the Company or this Agreement or
the Transaction Documents.

 

(b)            The
Company acknowledges that the Buyer, as a private equity investor, considers, makes and has made investments in a variety of markets
and the participation in a potential transaction relating to the Company may enhance the Buyer’s understanding of the markets
in which the Buyer or its Affiliates may now, or in the future, invest and that such further understanding will not in and of itself,
be considered a violation of this Agreement. Further, nothing in this Agreement (nor the disclosure of the Confidential Information
to the Buyer) shall prevent the Buyer or its Affiliates from evaluating or consummating possible investments in companies or undertakings
whose businesses may be similar to or competitive with the business of the Company (and the Company shall not seek to restrict
or prevent the Buyer or its Affiliates from undertaking any such evaluation or consummation other than as set forth in this Agreement)
to the extent the Buyer does not use the Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement in such evaluation or consummation.

 

Section 4.13     Voting.

 

(a)            Following
the Closing and until the occurrence of the Buyer Board Seat Fall-Away, the Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take
such action as may be required so that all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock beneficially owned, directly
or indirectly, by the Buyer and its Affiliates and entitled to vote are voted or consented to in connection with any action by
written consent in lieu of a meeting (i) in favor of each director nominated and recommended by the Board (or a duly authorized
committee thereof) for election at any such meeting or through any such written consent and (ii) against any stockholder nominations
for directors that are not approved and recommended by the Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) for election at any such
meeting or through any such written consent.

 

    28 

     

    

 

(b)            Following
the Closing and until the occurrence of the Buyer Board Seat Fall-Away, the Buyer shall, and shall (to the extent necessary to
comply with this Section 4.13) cause its Affiliates to, be present, in person or by proxy, at all meetings of the stockholders
of the Company so that all shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Common Stock or other voting securities beneficially owned
by the Buyer or its Affiliates may be counted for the purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and voted in accordance
with Section 4.13(a) at such meetings (including at any adjournments or postponements thereof).

 

Section 4.14     NYSE
Listing of Shares. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause the aggregate number of Conversion Shares to be approved
for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance. From time to time following the Closing, the Company shall apply
to cause the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to be approved for listing on the NYSE.

 

Section 4.15     Participation
Rights.

 

(a)          For
the purposes of this Section 4.15, “Excluded Issuance” shall mean (i) shares of equity securities issued
by the Company as a stock dividend payable in shares of equity securities, or upon any subdivision or split-up of the outstanding
shares of capital stock, (ii) the issuance of shares of any equity securities (including upon exercise of options) to directors,
officers, employees, consultants or other agents of the Company as approved by the Board, (iii) the issuance of shares of
any equity securities pursuant to the Company Stock Plans, an employee stock option plan, management incentive plan, restricted
stock plan, stock purchase plan or stock, ownership plan or similar benefit plan, program or agreement, (iv) the issuance
of shares of equity securities as consideration in any “business combination” (as defined in the rules and regulations
promulgated by the SEC) or as consideration in bona fide acquisitions of securities or substantially all of the equity securities
or assets of another Person, business unit, division or business, (v) securities issued pursuant to the conversion, exercise
or exchange of Series A Preferred Stock, (vi) shares of a Subsidiary of the Company issued to the Company or a wholly
owned Subsidiary of the Company or (vii) securities of a joint venture (provided that no Affiliate (other than any Subsidiary
of the Company) of the Company acquires any interest in such securities in connection with such issuance).

 

(b)          From
the Closing and until the occurrence of the Buyer Board Seat Fall-Away, if the Company proposes to issue equity securities of any
kind (the term “equity securities” shall include for these purposes Common Stock, Preferred Stock and any warrants,
options or other rights to acquire, or any securities that are exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into, Common Stock,
Preferred Stock or any other class of capital stock of the Company), other than in an Excluded Issuance, then the Company shall:

 

(i)            give
written notice to the Buyer (no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the closing of such issuance (or, in the case of
a registered public offering, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of such registered public offering)
or, if the Company reasonably expects such issuance to be completed in less than five (5) Business Days, such shorter period,
which shall be as long as commercially practicable setting forth in reasonable detail (A) the designation and all of the terms
and provisions of the securities proposed to be issued (the “Proposed Securities”), including, to the extent
applicable, the voting powers, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and the qualification,
limitations or restrictions thereof and interest rate and maturity; (B) the price and other terms of the proposed sale of
such securities; and (C) the amount of such securities proposed to be issued; and

 

    29 

     

    

 

(ii)            offer
to issue and sell to the Buyer, on such terms as the Proposed Securities are issued and upon full payment by the Buyer, a portion
of the Proposed Securities equal to a percentage determined by dividing (A) the number of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock (on an as-converted basis) and/or shares of Common Stock that were issued upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock then beneficially owned by the Buyer by (B) the total number of shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock
then outstanding (on an as-converted basis); provided, however, that if (1) any such issuance or sale would require the Company
to obtain stockholder approval in respect of the issuance of any Proposed Securities under the listing rules of the NYSE or
any other securities exchange or any other applicable Law where the participation of the Buyer in the sale or issuance is the only
reason stockholder approval is required and (2) the Board reasonably determines that the delay resulting from obtaining such
stockholder approval would be adverse to the Company in a material respect or such delay would be likely to result in terms of
such issuance or sale that would be materially less favorable to the Company, then the Company may satisfy its obligations under
this Section 4.15 by means of a post-issuance offer in accordance with Section 4.15(e) that provides (x) that
such offer (but not the issuance or sale to third parties that gives rise to the offer) is conditioned upon the receipt of such
required stockholder approval and (y) that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such stockholder approval
as promptly as practicable.

 

(c)            The
Buyer (or the Buyer’s designee on behalf of the Buyer) will have the option, exercisable by written notice to the Company,
to accept the Company’s offer and commit to purchase any or all of the equity securities offered to be sold by the Company
to the Buyer, which notice must be given within five (5) days after receipt of such notice from the Company (or such shorter
period if the notice by the Company was sent in accordance with the preceding paragraph less than five (5) Business Days prior
to the proposed issuance date, and in no event less than one (1) Business Day); provided, that the failure of the Buyer to
respond within such time period shall be deemed a waiver of the Buyer’s rights under this Section 4.15 with respect
to the applicable issuance of equity securities. If the Company offers two (2) or more securities in units to the other participants
in the offering, the Buyer must purchase such units as a whole and will not be given the opportunity to purchase only one (1) of
the securities making up such unit. The closing of the exercise of such participation right shall take place simultaneously with
the closing of the sale of the Proposed Securities giving rise to such participation right; provided, however, that (i) if
such closing is prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date on which the Buyer has notified the Company that the
Buyer have elected to exercise their participation right, then the Buyer shall purchase the new equity securities within ten (10) Business
Days following delivery of notice of exercise by the Buyer and (ii) the closing of any purchase by the Buyer may be extended
beyond the closing of the sale of the Proposed Securities giving rise to such participation right to the extent necessary to obtain
required approvals from any Governmental Authority. Upon the expiration of the offering period described above, the Company will
be free to sell such Proposed Securities that the Buyer has not elected to purchase during the seventy-five (75) days following
such expiration on terms and conditions no more favorable in the aggregate to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the
Buyer in the notice delivered in accordance with this Section 4.15.

 

    30 

     

    

 

(d)            The
election by the Buyer not to exercise its participation rights under this Section 4.15 in any one instance shall not affect
its right as to any subsequent proposed issuance.

 

(e)             Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 4.15 to the contrary, the Company will not be deemed to have breached this Section 4.15 if not
later than thirty (30) Business Days following the issuance of any Proposed Securities in contravention of this Section 4.15,
the Company or the transferee of such Proposed Securities offers to sell a portion of such equity securities or additional equity
securities of the type(s) in question to the Buyer so that, taking into account such previously-issued Proposed Securities
and any such additional Proposed Securities, the Buyer will have had the right to purchase or subscribe for Proposed Securities
in a manner consistent with the terms provided for in Section 4.15(b) and Section 4.15(c).

 

(f)              In
the case of an issuance subject to this Section 4.15 for consideration in whole or in part other than cash, including securities
acquired in exchange therefor (other than securities by their terms so exchangeable), the consideration other than cash shall be
deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

Section 4.16     Non-Solicitation. (a) The
Buyer agrees that following the Closing and until twelve (12)-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Buyer and its
Affiliates will not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any director, officer or senior management
level employee who is now employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates who comes in contact with or first becomes known
to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Transactions, other than a person who (A) has not been an
employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates for at least ninety (90) days prior to such solicitation or hiring,
(B) responds to general solicitations of employment not specifically directed toward employees of the Company (including
by a recruiter or search firm) or (C) has contacted the Company seeking employment with the Buyer or its Affiliates on
his or her own initiative without any direct or indirect solicitation by or on behalf of the Buyer or its Affiliates.

(a)          by
written agreement of the Buyer and the Company;

 

(b)          by
either Buyer or the Company, by giving written notice of such termination to the other Party, if

Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to September 30, 2020 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that
the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party that has

Order entered after the date of this Agreement permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of
the Transactions shall become final and non-appealable.

 

(c)            by
the Company if the Buyer shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or other agreements
contained in this Agreement, or any of its representations and warranties shall have become untrue after the date of this Agreement,
which breach or failure to perform or be true (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.1
or Section 5.2 and (ii) is not curable or, if curable, is not cured within the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof is given by the Company to Buyer and (B) the Outside Date; provided, that the Company shall not have
the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) if the Company is then in material breach of any
of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder such that it would give rise to the failure of a condition
set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.3.

 

(d)            by
the Buyer if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or other agreements
contained in this Agreement, or any of its representations and warranties shall have become untrue after the date of this Agreement,
which breach or failure to perform or be true (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.1
or Section 5.3, respectively and (ii) is not curable or, if curable, is not cured within the earlier of (A) thirty
(30) days after written notice thereof is given by Buyer to the Company and (B) the Outside Date; provided, that Buyer shall
not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.1(d) if Buyer is then in material breach of
any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder such that it would give rise to the failure of
a condition set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 7.1     Governing
Law and Venue; Jury Trial; Specific Performance.

 

(a)            This
Agreement, and all Actions (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement
or the Transaction Documents, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, shall
be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations, without
giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of Law to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction
(whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) would be required thereby.

 

(b)            Each
Party agrees that it shall bring any Action in respect of any claim based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
any Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby exclusively in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware
(or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over any Action, any state or federal court
within the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Courts”) and solely in connection with claims arising under or relating
to this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen
Courts, (ii) waives any objection to the laying of venue in any such Action in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any objection
that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party and (iv) agrees that mailing of
process or other papers in connection with any such Action in the manner provided in Section 7.6 or in such other manner as
may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. Each Party irrevocably designates C.T. Corporation as its
agent and attorney-in-fact for the acceptance of service of process and making an appearance on its behalf in any such Action and
for the taking of all such acts as may be necessary or appropriate in order to confer jurisdiction over it in the Chosen Courts
and each Party stipulates that such consent and appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

 

    34 

     

    

 

(c)            EACH
PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY
WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND CERTIFIES (I) THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY
OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK
TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES
THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 7.1(c).

 

(d)            Irreparable
damage would occur in the event that any covenant herein were not to be performed in accordance with its terms. Accordingly, each
Party shall be entitled to seek one or more injunctions to prevent any breach of covenant and to enforce specifically this Agreement
in the Chosen Courts, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled at law or in equity.

 

Section 7.2     Counterparts.
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 or .pdf signature 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, not a facsimile or .pdf signature.

 

Section 7.3     Headings.
The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this
Agreement.

 

Section 7.4     Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by Law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the
broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without
material change, the original intentions of the Parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity
or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal
obligations of the Parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the Parties. The
Parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a
valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

Section 7.5     Entire
Agreement; Amendment and Waiver.

 

(a)            This
Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2020, by and between the Company
and Investindustrial Investment Holding SARL (the “June 9 Confidentiality Agreement”), and the Confidentiality
Agreement, dated as of February 18, 2019, by and between the Company and International Design Holding S.à r.l (the
 “February 18 Confidentiality Agreement”), supersede all other prior or contemporaneous negotiations, writings
and understandings, both written and oral, between or among the Buyer, the Company, their respected Affiliates and Persons acting
on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, June 9 Confidentiality
Agreement and the February 18 Confidentiality Agreement constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement of the
Parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein. Without limiting the foregoing, the June 9 Confidentiality
Agreement shall be terminated upon the Closing.

 

    35 

     

    

 

(b)            Any
provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the
case of an amendment, by both the Buyer and the Company, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party granting the waiver. No failure
or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single
or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.

 

Section 7.6     Notices.
Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement or

EXHIBIT A

 

DEFINITIONS

“50% Beneficial
Ownership Requirement” means, as of any date of determination, that the Buyer and its Affiliates continue to beneficially
own shares of Common Stock, shares of Series A Preferred Stock and/or shares of Common Stock that were issued upon conversion
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that represent, on an as-converted basis, at least 50% of the total number of shares
of Common Stock represented by the Series A Preferred Stock issued at the Closing, on an as-converted basis.

 

“Action”
means any civil, criminal or administrative action, suit, demand, claim, complaint, litigation, investigation, review, audit, formal

“Activist
Shareholder” means, as of any date of determination, any Person identified on the most recently available “SharkWatch

“Affiliate”
means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with, such Person. As used in this definition, the term “controls” (including the terms “controlled by”
and “under common control with”) means possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction
of the management or policies of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, “Affiliates” shall not include, and no provision of this Agreement shall be applicable to, the direct
or indirect portfolio companies of investment funds advised or managed by the Buyer or its Affiliates (“Portfolio Companies”).
The Company acknowledges that the Buyer’s employees, directors or partners of its Affiliates may also serve as directors
of its Portfolio Companies and that such Portfolio Companies will not be deemed to be Affiliates solely due to the dual role of
any such employee, director or partner.

 

“Antitrust Laws” means
the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, the HSR Act and all other
applicable Laws issued by a Governmental Authority that are designed or intended to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having
the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of competition through merger or acquisition.

 

“as-converted

Dividend”), if, as and when authorized by the Board, or any duly authorized committee thereof, and declared by the Company,
(ii) as a dividend in kind, additional duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series A
Preferred Stock (any Dividend or portion of a Dividend paid in the manner provided in this clause, a “PIK Dividend”)
having value (as determined in accordance with the immediately following sentence) equal to the amount of Accrued Dividends during
such Dividend Payment Period or (iii) through a combination of either of the foregoing; provided that (A) the
Company may elect the foregoing clause (ii) only with respect to Initial Dividends, (B) Cash Dividend payments shall
be aggregated per Holder and shall be made to the nearest cent (with $.005 being rounded upward), and (C) if the Company
pays a PIK Dividend, no fractional shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be issued to any Holder (after taking into account
all shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder) and in lieu of any such fractional share, the Company shall pay
to such Holder, at the Company’s option, either (1) an amount in cash equal to the applicable fraction of a share of
Series A Preferred Stock multiplied by the Base Amount that would have applied in accordance with the following sentence
or (2) one additional whole share of Series A Preferred Stock and (D) with respect to any Dividend Payment Date
where the Company pays a combination of a PIK Dividend and a Cash Dividend, the proportion of a Dividend paid to any Holder that
consists of a PIK Dividend (the “PIK Dividend Ratio”) shall be the same as the PIK Dividend Ratio with respect
to each Dividend paid to each other Holder that receives a Dividend on such Dividend Payment Date. In the event that the Company
pays a PIK Dividend, each share of Series A Preferred Stock paid in connection therewith shall have a deemed value for such
purpose equal to the Base Amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock, and the number of additional shares of Series A
Preferred Stock issuable to Holders in connection with the payment of a PIK Dividend will be, with respect to each share of Series A
Preferred Stock, and without limiting the proviso above concerning fractional shares, the number (or fraction) obtained from the
quotient of (1) the amount of the applicable PIK Dividend per share of Series A Preferred Stock divided by (2) the
Base Amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock (excluding the amount of Accrued Dividends during such Dividend Payment
Period that are being satisfied by issuance of the PIK Dividend). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued in connection
with the payment of a PIK Dividend will, upon issuance, be deemed to have an amount of Accrued Dividends and a Base Amount per
share equal to the amount of Accrued Dividends and Base Amount, respectively, per share of Series A Preferred Stock in respect
of which the PIK Dividend is paid. Accrued Dividends in respect of any prior Dividend Payment Periods may be paid on any date
(whether or not such date is a Dividend Payment Date) if, as and when authorized by the Board, or any duly authorized committee
thereof as declared by the Company.

Date. The record date for payment of Dividends that are declared and paid on any relevant Dividend Payment Date will be the

paid on any relevant Dividend Payment Date will be the close of business on the date that is established by the Board, or a duly
authorized committee thereof, as such, which will not be more than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which such Dividends
are paid (each, an “Accrued Dividend Record Date”), in each case whether or not such day is a Business Day.

 

(e)           Priority
of Dividends. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, unless full Dividends on all outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or accrued in lieu of payment in accordance with Section 4(c),
or have been or contemporaneously are declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of those Dividends has been or is set aside
for the benefit of the Holders or there are no Accrued Dividends at such time, the Company may not declare any dividend on, or
make any distributions relating to, Junior Stock or Parity Stock, or redeem, purchase, acquire (either directly or through any
Subsidiary) or make a liquidation payment relating to, any Junior Stock or Parity Stock, other than:

 

(i)            purchases,
redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of Junior Stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar
arrangement with or for the benefit of then current or former employees, officers, directors or consultants, including in connection
with tax withholding upon vesting or settlement of options;

 

(ii)           purchases
of Junior Stock for an amount no greater than the Fair Market Value thereof using the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous
sale of other shares of Junior Stock;

 

(iii)          as
a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of Parity Stock or Junior Stock that is exchangeable or convertible
by the terms of such Parity Stock or Junior Stock for any other class or series of Parity Stock (in the case of Parity Stock)
or Junior Stock (in the case of Parity Stock or Junior Stock) pursuant to the terms of the class or series being exchanged or
converted;

 

(iv)          purchases
of fractional interests in shares of Parity Stock or Junior Stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Parity
Stock or Junior Stock or the security being converted or exchanged;

 

(v)           payment
of any dividends in respect of Junior Stock where the dividend is in the form of the same stock or rights to purchase the same
stock as that on which the dividend is being paid;

 

(vi)          distributions
of Junior Stock or rights to purchase Junior Stock;

 

    	 	13	 

     

    

 

(vii)         any
dividend in connection with the implementation of a stockholders’ rights or similar plan, or the redemption or repurchase
of any rights under any such plan; or

 

(viii)        purchases
of Parity Stock or Junior Stock pursuant to an agreement existing prior to June 1, 2020, to buy Parity Stock or Junior Stock,
or purchases executed through brokers’ transactions on a national securities exchange under a stock repurchase plan approved
by the Board.

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, for so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, if dividends are not declared and paid
in full, or accrued in lieu of payment in accordance with Section 4(c), upon the shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
all dividends declared upon shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock will be declared on a proportional basis
so that the amount of dividends declared per share will bear to each other the same ratio that all accrued and unpaid dividends
as of the end of the most recent Dividend Payment Period per share of Series A Preferred Stock and accrued and unpaid dividends
as of the end of the most recent dividend period per share of any Parity Stock bear to each other.

 

(f)            Conversion
Prior to or Following a Record Date. If the Conversion Date for any shares of Series A Preferred Stock is prior to the
close of business on a Dividend Record Date or an Accrued Dividend Record Date, the Holder of such shares will not be entitled
to any dividend in respect of such Dividend Record Date or Accrued Dividend Record Date, as applicable, other than through the
inclusion of Accrued Dividends as of the Conversion Date in the calculation under Section 6(a) or Section 7(a),
as applicable. If the Conversion Date for any shares of Series A Preferred Stock is after the close of business on a Dividend
Record Date or an Accrued Dividend Record Date but prior to the corresponding payment date for such dividend, the Holder of such
shares as of such Dividend Record Date or Accrued Dividend Record Date, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive such dividend,
notwithstanding the conversion of such shares prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date; provided that the amount of
such Dividend shall not be included for the purpose of determining the amount of Accrued Dividends under Section 6(a) or
Section 7(a), as applicable, with respect to such Conversion Date.

 

(g)           Participating
Dividends. If and to the extent the Company intends to pay any Participating Dividend, then any such Participating Dividend
shall be payable to the holders of shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock on a pari passu, pro rata basis
(treating each Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock as being the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into
which such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock would be converted if such shares were converted pursuant to
the provisions of Section 6 hereof as of the Record Date for payment of such Participating Dividend); provided
that the amount of the Participating Dividend payable to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock per share of as-converted
Common Stock shall be equal to the Participating Dividend minus $0.15, as adjusted (i) for any stock split, stock
dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar transaction and (ii) consistent with the adjustment of the Conversion
Price under Section 11. The record date for payment of any Participating Dividend to Holders of Series A Preferred
Stock will be the same date as the Record Date for payment of the dividend or distribution to holders of Common Stock, whether
or not such date is a Business Day. The payment date of any dividend or distribution to Holders of Series A Preferred Stock
will be the same date on which payment of such dividend or distribution is made to holders of Common Stock.

Section 5.     Liquidation
Rights. (a) Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the affairs of the Company, the Holders shall be entitled, out of assets legally available therefor, before any distribution or
payment out of the assets of the Company may be made to or set aside for the holders of any Junior Stock, and subject to the rights
of the holders of any Senior Stock or Parity Stock and the rights of the Company’s existing and future creditors, to receive
in full a liquidating distribution in cash and in the amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the greater of
(i) the Base Amount with respect to such share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the date of such voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company and (ii) the amount such Holders would have received
had such Holders, immediately prior to such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the
Company, converted such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock (pursuant to Section 6 without regard
to any of the limitations on convertibility contained therein). Holders shall not be entitled to any further payments in the event
of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company other than what is expressly
provided for in this Section 5 and will have no right or claim to any of the Company’s remaining assets.

 

(b)           Partial
Payment. If in connection with any distribution described in Section 5(a) above, the assets of the Company
or proceeds therefrom are not sufficient to pay in full the aggregate liquidating distributions required to be paid pursuant to
Section 5(a) to all Holders and the liquidating distributions payable to all holders of any Parity Stock, the
amounts distributed to the Holders and to the holders of all such Parity Stock shall be paid pro rata in accordance with
the respective aggregate liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be entitled if all amounts payable thereon were
paid in full.

 

(c)           Merger,
Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 5, the sale, conveyance, exchange
or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property and assets
of the Company shall not be deemed a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company,
nor shall the merger, consolidation, statutory exchange or any other business combination transaction of the Company into or with
any other Person or the merger, consolidation, statutory exchange or any other business combination transaction of any other Person
into or with the Company be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the
Company.

 

Section 6.     Right
of the Holders to Convert.

 

(a)           Each
Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, subject to the conversion procedures set forth in Section 8,
to convert each share of such Holder’s Series A Preferred Stock at any time into the number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the quotient of (A) the Base Amount with respect to such share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the applicable
Conversion Date divided by (B) the Conversion Price as of the applicable Conversion Date plus (ii) cash
in lieu of fractional shares as set out in Section 11(h).

 

    	 	15	 

     

    

 

(b)           The
Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for issuance upon
the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable
upon the conversion of all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. Any shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

Section 7.     Mandatory
Conversion by the Company. (a) At any time after the two (2) year anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, if the
VWAP per share of Common Stock was greater than the Mandatory Conversion Price for at least twenty (20) Trading Days in any period
of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (such thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period, the “Trading Period”),
the Company may elect to convert (a “Mandatory Conversion”) all or any portion of the outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (the date selected by the Company for any Mandatory Conversion pursuant
to this Section 7(a), the “Mandatory Conversion Date”). In the case of a Mandatory Conversion, each
share of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be converted into (i) the number of shares of Common Stock equal
to the quotient of (A) the Base Amount with respect to such share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the Mandatory Conversion
Date divided by (B) the Conversion Price of such share in effect as of the Mandatory Conversion Date plus (ii) cash
in lieu of fractional shares as set out in Section 11(h).

 

(b)           Notice
of Mandatory Conversion. If the Company elects to effect a Mandatory Conversion, the Company shall, within five (5) Business
Days following the completion of the applicable thirty (30) day Trading Period referred to in Section 7(a) above,
provide irrevocable and binding notice of the Mandatory Conversion to each Holder (such notice, a “Notice of Mandatory
Conversion”). For the avoidance of doubt, a Notice of Mandatory Conversion does not limit a Holder’s right to
convert on a Conversion Date prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date. The Mandatory Conversion Date selected by the Company shall
be no less than five (5) Business Days and no more than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Company provides
the Notice of Mandatory Conversion to the Holders. The Notice of Mandatory Conversion shall state, as appropriate:

 

(i)            the
Mandatory Conversion Date selected by the Company; and

 

(ii)           the
Conversion Price as in effect on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the number of shares Series A Preferred Stock to be converted
from such Holder, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder upon conversion of each such share of Series A
Preferred Stock and, if applicable, the amount of Accrued Dividends as of the Mandatory Conversion Date.

 

    	 	16	 

     

    

 

(c)           Partial
Mandatory Conversion. In the event that the Mandatory Conversion is exercised with respect to shares of Series A Preferred
Stock representing less than all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at such time, the shares to be converted
shall be converted by the Company on a pro rata basis based on the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
If fewer than all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by any certificate are converted, new certificates shall
be issued representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that remain outstanding without charge to the Holder thereof,
to the extent applicable.

 

Section 8.     Conversion
Procedures and Effect of Conversion. (a) Conversion Procedure. A Holder must do each of the following in order
to convert shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8(a):

 

(i)            in
the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 6(a), complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided by the
Conversion Agent (the “Conversion Notice”), and deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent; provided
that a Conversion Notice may be conditional on the completion of a Change of Control or other corporate transaction;

 

(ii)           deliver
to the Conversion Agent the certificate or certificates (if any) representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be
converted;

 

(iii)          if
required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; and

 

(iv)          if
required, pay any stock transfer, documentary, stamp or similar taxes not payable by the Company pursuant to Section 20.

 

The foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) shall be
conditions to the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holders in the event of a Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Section 7
(but, for the avoidance of doubt, not to the Mandatory Conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock on the Mandatory
Conversion Date). The Holder may, in respect of a Mandatory Conversion, deliver a notice to the Conversion Agent specifying, in
respect of the deliverable shares of Common Stock, a delivery method of either book-entry basis, through the facilities of The
Depositary Trust Company or certificated form. If no such notice is delivered, the Holder shall be deemed to have chosen delivery
by book-entry.

 

The “Conversion
Date” means (A) with respect to conversion of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the option of any Holder
pursuant to Section 6(a), the date on which such Holder complies with the procedures in this Section 8(a) (including
the satisfaction of any conditions to conversion set forth in the Conversion Notice) and (B) with respect to Mandatory Conversion
pursuant to Section 7(a), the Mandatory Conversion Date.

 

(b)           Effect
of Conversion. Effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date applicable to any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, Dividends shall no longer accrue or be declared on any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and such
shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding.

 

    	 	17	 

     

    

 

(c)           Record
Holder of Underlying Securities as of Conversion Date. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock and, to
the extent applicable, cash, securities or other property issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock on a Conversion
Date shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock and/or cash, securities or
other property as of the close of business on such Conversion Date. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date
and, if applicable, compliance by the applicable Holder with the relevant procedures contained in Section 8(a) (and
in any event no later than three (3) Trading Days thereafter; provided however that, if a written notice from the Holder
in accordance with Section 8(a)(i) specifies a date of delivery for any shares of Common Stock, such shares shall
be delivered on the date so specified, which shall be no earlier than the second (2nd) Business Day immediately following the
date of such notice and no later than the seventh (7th) Business Day thereafter), the Company shall issue the number of whole
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion (and deliver payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares as set out in Section 11(h))
and, to the extent applicable, any cash, securities or other property issuable thereon. Such delivery of shares of Common Stock,
securities or other property shall be made by book-entry or, at the request of the Holder, by delivering a notice to the Conversion
Agent, through the facilities of The Depositary Trust Company or in certificated form. Any such certificate or certificates shall
be delivered by the Company to the appropriate Holder on a book-entry basis, through the facilities of The Depositary Trust Company,
or by mailing certificates evidencing the shares to the Holders, in each case at their respective addresses as set forth in the
Conversion Notice (in the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 6(a)) or in the records of the Company or as set
forth in a notice from the Holder to the Conversion Agent, as applicable (in the case of a Mandatory Conversion). In the event
that a Holder shall not by written notice designate the name in which shares of Common Stock (and payments of cash in lieu of
fractional shares) and, to the extent applicable, cash, securities or other property to be delivered upon conversion of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock should be registered or paid, or the manner in which such shares, cash, securities or other property
should be delivered, the Company shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares, securities or other property, and make
such payment, in the name of the Holder and in the manner shown on the records of the Company.

 

(d)           Status
of Converted or Reacquired Shares. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted in accordance with this Certificate of
Designations, or otherwise acquired by the Company in any manner whatsoever, shall be retired promptly after the conversion or
acquisition thereof. All such shares shall, upon their retirement and any filing required by the DGCL, become authorized but unissued
shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series until such shares are once more designated as part of a particular
series by the Board pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

 

(e)           Partial
Conversion. In case any certificate for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for partial conversion,
the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the certificate so surrendered
a new certificate for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock not converted.

Section 9.     Change
of Control. (a) Holder Rights Upon Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, at such Holder’s election, require the Company to purchase (a “Change
of Control Put”) all or a portion of such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have not been so
converted at a purchase price per share of Series A Preferred Stock, payable in cash, equal to the (i) if the Change
of Control Effective Date occurs at any time prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, the sum of (A) the
product of 110% multiplied by the Base Amount of such share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the applicable Change
of Control Purchase Date, plus (B) all Dividends that would have accrued on such share pursuant to Section 4(b) from
the Change of Control Purchase Date to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, (ii) if the Change of Control
Effective Date occurs on or after the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Original Issuance Date and prior to the seventh (7th) anniversary
of the Original Issuance Date, the sum of (x) the product of 105% multiplied by the Base Amount of such share of Series A
Preferred Stock as of the applicable Change of Control Purchase Date, plus (y) all Dividends that would have accrued
on such share pursuant to Section 4(b) from the Change of Control Purchase Date to the seventh (7th) anniversary
of the Original Issuance Date, and (iii) if the Change of Control Effective Date occurs on or after the seventh (7th) anniversary
of the Original Issuance Date, the Base Amount of such share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the applicable Change of Control
Purchase Date (in each case, the “Change of Control Price”); provided that the Company shall only be
required to pay the Change of Control Price to the extent such purchase can be made out of funds legally available therefor in
accordance with Section 9(h).

 

(b)           Company
Rights Upon Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company may elect to purchase (a “Change
of Control Call”), contingent upon and contemporaneously with the consummation of the Change of Control, but subject
to the right of the Holders to convert the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(a) prior to any
such redemption, all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Stock that have not been so converted at a purchase price per
share of Series A Preferred Stock, payable in cash, equal to the Change of Control Price.

 

(c)           Initial
Change of Control Notice. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day
prior to the date on which the Company anticipates consummating a Change of Control (or, if later, promptly after the Company discovers
that a Change of Control may occur), a written notice (the “Initial Change of Control Notice”) shall be sent
by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders as they appear in the records of the Company, which notice shall contain the date
on which the Change of Control is anticipated to be effected (or, if applicable, the date on which a Schedule TO or other schedule,
form or report disclosing a Change of Control was filed) and whether the Company intends to exercise its Change of Control Call.
To the extent the Change of Control Call has not been previously exercised by the Company, no later than five (5) Business
Days after the delivery of the Initial Change of Control Notice, any Holder that desires to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 9(a) shall
notify the Company in writing thereof and shall specify (x) that such Holder is electing to exercise its rights pursuant to
Section 9(a), and (y) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock subject thereto. Each Holder may also exercise
its right to convert any or all shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(a) until the later
of the effective date of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Effective Date”) or five (5) Business
Days after the delivery of the Initial Change of Control Notice.

 

    	 	19	 

     

    

 

(d)           Final
Change of Control Notice. To the extent the Change of Control Call has not been previously exercised by the Company, if a Holder
elects to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 9(a), within two (2) days following the Change of Control Effective
Date (or if the Company discovers later than such date that a Change of Control has occurred, promptly following the date of such
discovery), a final written notice shall be sent by or on behalf of the Company to the Holders as they appear in the records of
the Company on such Change of Control Effective Date, which notice shall contain:

 

(i)            a
statement setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the Change of Control Price with respect to such Holder; and

 

(ii)           the
Change of Control Purchase Date, which shall be no later than ten (10) Business Days after such notice is sent; provided,
that a reasonable amount of time shall be provided between delivery of such notice and the Change of Control Purchase Date to allow
such Holder to comply with the instructions delivered pursuant to Section 9(d)(iii) below.

 

(e)           Change
of Control Put Procedure. To receive the Change of Control Price, a Holder must surrender to the Transfer Agent the certificates
representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be repurchased by the Company or lost stock affidavits therefor, to
the extent applicable.

 

(f)            Delivery
upon Change of Control Put/Call. Upon a Change of Control Put or, in the case of a Change of Control Call, subject to Section 9(h) below,
the Company (or its successor) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder by wire transfer of immediately available funds,
the Change of Control Price for such Holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(g)           Treatment
of Shares. Until a share of Series A Preferred Stock is purchased by the payment or deposit in full of the applicable
Change of Control Price as provided in Section 9(j), such share of Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding
and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights provided herein; provided that no
such shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock following the Change of Control Effective
Date. For clarity, any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that a Holder does not subject to the Change of Control Put and
the Company does not subject to the Change of Control Call as set forth above shall remain outstanding.

 

    	 	20	 

     

    

 

(h)           Sufficient
Funds. If the Company (or its successor) shall not have sufficient funds legally available under the DGCL to purchase all shares
of Series A Preferred Stock that Holders have requested to be purchased under Section 9(a) (the “Required
Number of Shares”), the Company shall (i) purchase, pro rata among the Holders that have requested their
shares be purchased pursuant to Section 9(a), a number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock with an aggregate
Change of Control Price equal to the amount legally available for the purchase of shares of Series A Preferred Stock under
the DGCL and (ii) purchase any shares of Series A Preferred Stock not purchased because of the foregoing limitations
at the applicable Change of Control Price as soon as practicable after the Company is able to make such purchase out of assets
legally available for the purchase of such share of Series A Preferred Stock. The inability of the Company (or its successor)
to make a purchase payment for any reason shall not relieve the Company (or its successor) from its obligation to effect any required
purchase when, as and if permitted by applicable law. If the Company fails to pay the Change of Control Price in full when due
in accordance with this Section 9 in respect of some or all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be repurchased
pursuant to the Change of Control Put, the Company will pay Dividends on such shares not repurchased in accordance with Section 4
through but not including the day upon which the Company pays the Change of Control Price in full in accordance with this Section 9.
Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity,
including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to comply with
its obligations under this Section 9.

 

(i)            Change
of Control Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Change of Control unless
the acquiring or surviving Person in such Change of Control represents or covenants, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Board acting in good faith, that at the closing of such Change of Control that such Person shall have sufficient funds (which
may include cash and cash equivalents on the Company’s balance sheet, the proceeds of any debt or equity financing, available
lines of credit or uncalled capital commitments) to consummate such Change of Control and the payment of the Change of Control
Price in respect of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have not been converted into Common Stock prior to the Change
of Control Effective Date pursuant to Section 6 or Section 7, as applicable.

 

(j)            With
respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock to be purchased by the Company pursuant to the Change of Control Put or Change
of Control Call and which has been purchased in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9, or for which the
Company has irrevocably deposited an amount equal to the Change of Control Price in respect of such share with the Transfer Agent,
(i) Dividends shall cease to accrue on such share, (ii) such share shall no longer be deemed outstanding and (iii) all
rights with respect to such share shall cease and terminate other than the rights of the Holder thereof to receive the Change of
Control Price therefor.

 

    	 	21	 

     

    

 

Section 10.     Redemption.
(a) Redemption at the Option of the Company.

 

(i)            At
any time on or after the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, the Company shall have the right (the “Company
Redemption Right”) to redeem, in whole or, from time to time in part, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock of
any Holder outstanding at such time at a redemption price equal to (A) the Base Amount with respect to such shares of Series A
Preferred Stock as of the applicable Redemption Date (such price, the “Base Redemption Price”), multiplied
by (B) (1) if the Redemption Date occurs at any time on or after the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Original Issuance
Date and prior to the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, 110%, (2) if the Redemption Date occurs at
any time on or after the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Original Issuance Date and prior to the eighth (8th) anniversary of the
Original Issuance Date, 105%, or (3) if the Redemption Date occurs at any time on or after the eighth (8th) anniversary of
the Original Issuance Date, 100% (such price, the “Redemption Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
will not exercise the Company Redemption Right, or otherwise send a Notice of Company Redemption in respect of the redemption of,
any Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 10 unless the Company has sufficient funds legally available
to fully pay the Redemption Price in respect of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption. The Redemption
Price shall be payable at the Company’s election in (A) cash, (B) if the VWAP per share of Common Stock was greater
than the Conversion Price for at least twenty (20) Trading Days in any period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending no
more than five (5) Business Days prior to the delivery of the Notice of Company Redemption, Common Stock valued at the average
VWAP per share of Common Stock for the five (5) Business Days prior to the delivery of the Notice of Company Redemption or
(C) through a combination of either of the foregoing. If fewer than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 10(a), then such redemption shall occur on a pro rata
basis with respect to all Holders based on the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then held by such Holder
relative to the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.

 

(ii)           To
exercise the Company Redemption Right pursuant to this Section 10(a), the Company shall deliver written notice thereof
(a “Notice of Company Redemption”) to the Holders and the Transfer Agent at least ten (10) days prior to
the Redemption Date designated therein for such redemption. The Notice of Company Redemption shall contain instructions whereby
Holders will surrender to the Transfer Agent all shares of Series A Preferred Stock specified in the Notice of Company Redemption
to be redeemed by the Company. The Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Holder that has complied with the instructions
set forth in such Notice of Company Redemption, cash by wire transfer in an amount equal to the Redemption Price of the shares
of Series A Preferred Stock in respect of which such Holder has complied with such instructions in accordance herewith.

 

(b)           Effect
of Redemption. With respect to any share of Series A Preferred Stock specified to be redeemed by the Company pursuant
to the Company Redemption Right and which has been redeemed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10, or
for which the Company has irrevocably deposited an amount equal to the Redemption Price in respect of such share with the Transfer
Agent, then (i) Dividends shall cease to accrue on such share, (ii) such share shall no longer be deemed outstanding
and (iii) all rights with respect to such share shall cease and terminate.

 

(c)           Partial
Redemption. In the event that the Company Redemption Right is exercised with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock
representing less than all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by a Holder, upon such redemption, the Company shall
execute and the Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver to such Holder, at the expense of the Company, a certificate representing
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Holder as to which a Company Redemption Right was not exercised (or book-entry
interests representing such shares).

 

    	 	22	 

     

    

 

Section 11.     Anti-Dilution
Adjustments. (a) Adjustments. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment, without duplication, upon the
occurrence of the following events, except that the Company shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Price if Holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock and solely as
a result of holding Series A Preferred Stock, in any transaction described in this Section 11(a), without having
to convert their Series A Preferred Stock, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock issuable to such Holder at the
Conversion Price:

 

(i)            The
issuance of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, or a subdivision or
combination of Common Stock or a reclassification of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, in
which event the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

CP1 = CP0 x (CS0
/ CS1)

 

CP0 = the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on (A) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution,
or (B) if there is no Record Date, the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification

 

CP1 = the
new Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on (A) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution,
or (B) if there is no Record Date, the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification

 

CS0 = the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on (A) the Record Date for such dividend
or distribution or (B) if there is no Record Date, the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification

 

CS1 = the
number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, the completion of such
subdivision, combination or reclassification

 

Any adjustment made
pursuant to this clause (i) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend
or distribution, or if there is no Record Date, the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification. If any
such event is announced or authorized or declared but does not occur, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of
the date the Board announces that such event shall not occur, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such event
had not been authorized or declared.

 

    	 	23	 

     

    

 

(ii)           The
dividend, distribution or other issuance to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock of rights (other than rights, options
or warrants distributed in connection with a stockholder rights plan (in which event the provisions of Section 11(a)(v) shall
apply)), options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share that is less
than the Current Market Price as of immediately prior to the close of business on (A) the Record Date for such dividend, distribution
or issuance or (B) if there is no Record Date, on the effective date of such dividend, distribution or issuance, in which
event the Conversion Price will be decreased based on the following formula:

 

CP1 = CP0 x (CS0+Y)
/ (CS0+X)

 

CP0 = the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on (1) the Record Date for such dividend, distribution
or issuance, or (2) if there is no Record Date, the effective date of such dividend, distribution or issuance

 

CP1 = the
new Conversion Price in effect immediately following the close of business on (1) the Record Date for such dividend, distribution
or issuance, or (2) if there is no Record Date, the effective date of such dividend, distribution or issuance

 

CS0 = the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on (1) the Record Date for such dividend,
distribution or issuance, or (2) if there is no Record Date, the effective date of such dividend, distribution or issuance

 

X = the total number
of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants

 

Y = the number equal
to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the Current Market Price as of immediately
prior to the close of business on (1) the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance, or (2) if there is
no Record Date, the effective date of such dividend, distribution or issuance.

 

For purposes of this
clause (ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to purchase the Common Stock at a price
per share that is less than the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance, there shall
be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants, and any amount payable on exercise
thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be the Fair Market Value thereof.

 

Any adjustment made
pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately following the close of business on the Record Date for such
dividend, distribution or issuance, or if there is no Record Date, on the effective date of such dividend, distribution or issuance.
In the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of
the date the Board publicly announces its decision not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Price that
would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution or issuance had not been authorized or declared. To the extent that such
rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant
to such rights, options or warrants upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted
to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the dividend, distribution or issuance of such
rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.

(iii)          The
Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries purchases Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer (other than an exchange
offer that constitutes a Distribution Transaction subject to Section 11(a)(v)) by the Company or a Subsidiary of the
Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock, or otherwise acquires Common Stock (except (1) in an open market purchase
or redemption in compliance with Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Exchange Act, (2) through an “accelerated share
repurchase” on customary terms or (3) in connection with tax withholding upon vesting or settlement of options, restricted
stock units, performance share units or other similar equity awards or upon forfeiture or cashless exercise of options or other
equity awards) (a “Covered Repurchase”), if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment
per share of Common Stock validly tendered, exchanged or otherwise acquired through a Covered Repurchase exceeds the arithmetic
average of the VWAP per share of Common Stock for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing on, and including,
the Trading Day next succeeding the last day on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer
(as it may be amended) or shares of Common Stock are otherwise acquired through a Covered Repurchase (the “Expiration
Date”), in which event the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula, provided that in no event
will the Conversion Price be increased pursuant to this Section 11(a)(iii):

 

CP1 = CP0 x (SP1
x CS0) / [(FMV + (SP1 x CS1))]

 

CP0 = the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date

 

CP1 = the
new Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the Expiration Date

 

FMV = the Fair Market
Value, on the Expiration Date, of all cash and any other consideration paid or payable for all shares validly tendered or exchanged
and not withdrawn, or otherwise acquired through such Covered Repurchase, as of the Expiration Date

 

CS0 = the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the last time tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such
tender or exchange offer (including the shares to be purchased in such tender or exchange offer) or immediately prior to any shares
being otherwise acquired through such Covered Repurchase

 

CS1 = the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the last time tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such
tender or exchange offer (after giving effect to the purchase of shares in such tender or exchange offer) or shares are otherwise
acquired through a Covered Repurchase

 

SP1 = the
arithmetic average of the VWAP per Common Share for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing on, and
including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date

 

    	 	25	 

     

    

 

Such adjustment shall
become effective immediately after the close of business on the Expiration Date. If an adjustment to the Conversion Price is required
under this Section 11(a)(iii), delivery of any additional shares of Common Stock that may be deliverable upon conversion
as a result of an adjustment required under this Section 11(a)(iii) shall be delayed to the extent necessary in
order to complete the calculations provided for in this Section 11(a)(iii).

 

In the event that the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer, exchange offer or other
commitment to acquire shares of Common Stock through a Covered Repurchase but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting
any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Price
that would have been then in effect if such tender offer, exchange offer or Covered Repurchase had not been made.

 

(iv)          The
Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to holders of its Common Stock (other than for cash in lieu of fractional shares),
shares of any class of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, assets, other property or securities, but excluding (A) dividends
or distributions referred to in Section 11(a)(i) or Section 11(a)(ii) hereof, (B) Distribution
Transactions as to which Section 11(a)(v) shall apply and (C) rights, options or warrants distributed in
connection with a stockholder rights plan as to which Section 11(a)(vi) shall apply (any of such shares of its
Capital Stock, indebtedness, assets or property that are not so excluded are hereinafter called the “Distributed Property”),
then, in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

CP1 = CP0 x [(SP0
- FMV) / SP0]

 

CP0 = the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on (1) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution,
or (2) if there is no Record Date, the effective date of such dividend or distribution

 

CP1 = the
new Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on (1) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution,
or (2) if there is no Record Date, the effective date of such dividend or distribution

 

SP0 = the
Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such dividend or distribution

 

FMV = the Fair Market
Value of the portion of Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Record Date
for such dividend or distribution; provided that, if FMV is equal or greater than SP0, then in lieu of the foregoing
adjustment, the Company shall distribute to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock on the date the applicable Distributed
Property is distributed to holders of Common Stock, but without requiring such holder to convert its Series A Preferred Stock,
in respect of each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, the amount of Distributed Property such holder would
have received had such holder owned the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to such holder at the Conversion Price.

 

Any adjustment made
pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on (1) the Record Date for such
dividend or distribution, or (2) if there is no Record Date, the effective date of such dividend or distribution. If any such
dividend or distribution is authorized or declared but does not occur, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of
the date the Board announces that such dividend or distribution shall not occur, to the Conversion Price that would then be in
effect if such dividend or distribution had not been authorized or declared.

 

    	 	26	 

     

    

 

(v)           The
Company effects a Distribution Transaction, in which case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date
of the Distribution Transaction shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

CP1 = CP0 x [MP0
/ (FMV + MP0)]

 

CP0 = the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction

 

CP1 = the
new Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction

 

FMV = the arithmetic
average of the volume-weighted average prices for a share of the capital stock or other interest distributed to holders of Common
Stock on the principal United States securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such capital stock or other interest
trades, as reported by Bloomberg (or, if Bloomberg ceases to publish such price, any successor service chosen by the Company) in
respect of the period from the open of trading on the relevant Trading Day until the close of trading on such Trading Day (or if
such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market price of one share of such capital stock or other interest on such
Trading Day determined, using a volume-weighted average method, by an Independent Financial Advisor retained for such purpose by
the Company), for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing on, and including, the effective date of the
Distribution Transaction

 

MP0 = the
arithmetic average of the VWAP per share of Common Stock for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing
on, and including, the effective date of the Distribution Transaction

 

Such adjustment shall
become effective immediately following the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction. If an adjustment
to the Conversion Price is required under this Section 11(a)(v), delivery of any additional shares of Common Stock
that may be deliverable upon conversion as a result of an adjustment required under this Section 11(a)(v) shall
be delayed to the extent necessary in order to complete the calculations provided for in this Section 11(a)(v).

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 11(a)(v), if the Company effects a Distribution Transaction in which (A) the
product of FMV multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of the class of capital stock or other interest distributed to holders
of Common Stock, plus the Fair Market Value of any other capital stock or equity interest of the Subsidiary that is the subject
of the Distribution Transaction exceeds (B) the product of MP0 and the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
(on an as-converted basis), the Series A Preferred Stock shall be exchanged, to the extent registration of such exchange is
not required, on the eleventh (11th) Trading Day following effective date of the Distribution Transaction, and if registration
of such exchange is required, as soon as practicable following the effective date of the Distribution Transaction, for shares of
preferred stock of the Subsidiary that is the subject of the Distribution Transaction with terms substantially identical to the
terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, including, in the aggregate, an equal Liquidation Preference, amount of Accrued Dividends
and Base Amount as the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so exchanged; provided that the conversion price of such preferred
stock of such Subsidiary shall initially be determined according to the following formula:

 

    	 	27	 

     

    

 

CP1 = CP0 x (FMV /
MP0)

 

(vi)          If
the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect with respect to the Common Stock on any Conversion Date, upon conversion of
any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Holders of such shares will receive, in addition to the applicable number of shares
of Common Stock, the rights under such rights plan relating to such Common Stock, unless, prior to such Conversion Date, the rights
have (i) become exercisable or (ii) separated from the shares of Common Stock (the first of such events to occur, a “Trigger
Event”), in which case, the Conversion Price will be adjusted, effective automatically at the time of such Trigger Event,
as if the Company had made a distribution of such rights to all holders of the Common Stock as described in Section 11(a)(ii),
subject to appropriate readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights prior to the exercise,
deemed exercise or exchange thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such stockholder rights are exchanged by
the Company for shares of Common Stock or other property or securities, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately readjusted
as if such stockholder rights had not been issued, but the Company had instead issued such shares of Common Stock or other property
or securities as a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 11(a)(i) or Section 11(a)(iv),
as applicable.

 

To the extent that
such rights are not exercised prior to their expiration, termination or redemption, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to
the Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the occurrence of the Trigger Event been made on
the basis of the issuance of, and the receipt of the exercise price with respect to, only the number of shares of Common Stock
actually issued pursuant to such rights.

 

Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 11(a)(vi), no adjustment shall be required to be made to the Conversion Price with
respect to any Holder which is, or is an “affiliate” or “associate” of, an “acquiring person,”
as such terms are customarily used in stockholder rights plans, or with respect to any direct or indirect transferee of such Holder
who receives Series A Preferred Stock in such transfer after the time such Holder becomes, or its affiliate or associate becomes,
such an “acquiring person”.

 

(vii)         If
the Company issues or otherwise sells any shares of Common Stock, or any Equity-Linked Securities, in each case at an Effective
Price that is less than the Current Market Price as of the date of the issuance or sale of such shares or Equity-Linked Securities
(such an issuance or sale, a “Degressive Issuance”), then, effective as of the Close of Business on such date,
the Conversion Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

  

    	 	28	 

     

    

 

CP1 = [(CP0 x CS0)
+ (EP x X)] / [CS0 + X]

 

CP0 = the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the effective date of the Degressive Issuance

 

CP1 = the
new Conversion Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the effective date of the Degressive Issuance

 

CS0 = the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Degressive Issuance

 

EP = the Effective
Price in such Degressive Issuance

 

X = the sum, without
duplication, of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold in such Degressive Issuance; and (y) the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Equity-Linked Securities issued or sold in such Degressive Issuance (or
if not determinable, such other number of shares used in the calculation of the Effective Price in accordance with clause (d) of
the definition thereof)

 

Notwithstanding the
forgoing, (A) the Conversion Price will not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 11(a)(vii) solely as a result
of an Exempt Issuance; (B) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such Equity-Linked Securities will not constitute
an additional issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Section 11(a)(vii) (it being understood,
for the avoidance of doubt, that the issuance or sale of such Equity-Linked Securities, or any re-pricing or amendment thereof,
will be subject to this Section 11(a)(vii)); and (C) in no event will the Conversion Price be increased pursuant
to this Section 11(a)(vii). For purposes of this Section 11(a)(vii), any re-pricing or amendment of any
Equity-Linked Securities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Equity-Linked Securities existing as of the Original Issuance
Date) will be deemed to be the issuance of additional Equity-Linked Securities, without affecting any prior adjustments theretofore
made to the Conversion Price

 

(b)           Calculation
of Adjustments. All adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be calculated by the Company to the nearest 1/100th a cent and
all conversions based thereon shall be calculated by the Company to the nearest 1/10,000th of one share of Common Stock (or if
there is not a nearest 1/10,000th of a share, to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). No adjustment to the Conversion Price will
be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease to the Conversion Price of at least $0.0100; provided,
however, that any such adjustment that is not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment; provided, further that any such adjustment of less than $0.0100 that has not been made will
be made upon any Conversion Date or redemption or repurchase date.

 

(c)           When
No Adjustment Required. (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11, the Conversion Price will not
be adjusted for the issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or carrying the
right to purchase any of the foregoing, or for the repurchase of Common Stock.

 

(ii)           Except
as otherwise provided in this Section 11, the Conversion Price will not be adjusted as a result of the issuance of,
the distribution of separate certificates representing, the exercise or redemption of, or the termination or invalidation of, rights
pursuant to any stockholder rights plans.

 

    	 	29	 

     

    

 

(iii)          Except
as otherwise provided in this Section 11, no adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made:

 

(A)          upon
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends
or interest payable on securities of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Stock under any plan
in which purchases are made at market prices on the date or dates of purchase, without discount, and whether or not the Company
bears the ordinary costs of administration and operation of the plan, including brokerage commissions;

 

(B)           upon
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee,
director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any employee agreements
or arrangements or programs;

 

(C)           upon
the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible
security, including the Series A Preferred Stock; or

 

(D)          or
a change in the par value of the Common Stock.

 

(d)           Successive
Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Section 11, any subsequent event requiring
an adjustment under this Section 11 shall cause an adjustment to each such Conversion Price as so adjusted.

 

(e)           Multiple
Adjustments. For the avoidance of doubt, if an event occurs that would trigger an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant
to this Section 11 under more than one subsection hereof, such event, to the extent fully taken into account in a single
adjustment, shall not result in multiple adjustments hereunder; provided, however, that if more than one subsection
of this Section 11 is applicable to a single event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment.

 

(f)            Notice
of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as provided under this Section 11, the Company shall
as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment (or if the Company is not
aware of such occurrence, as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming so aware):

 

(i)            compute
the adjusted applicable Conversion Price in accordance with this Section 11 and prepare and transmit to the Conversion
Agent an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the applicable Conversion Price, the method of calculation thereof, and the
facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based; and

 

(ii)           provide
a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by
which the adjustment to the applicable Conversion Price was determined and setting forth the adjusted applicable Conversion Price.

 

    	 	30	 

     

    

 

(g)           Conversion
Agent. The Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any
facts exist that may require any adjustment of the Conversion Price or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any
such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. The Conversion Agent shall be fully authorized
and protected in relying on any Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 11(g) and any adjustment
contained therein and the Conversion Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment unless and until it has received
such certificate. The Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of
any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, that may at the time be issued or delivered with respect to any Series A
Preferred Stock and the Conversion Agent makes no representation with respect thereto. The Conversion Agent shall not be responsible
for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversion of Series A
Preferred Stock or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Section 11.

 

(h)           Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be delivered to the Holders upon conversion. In lieu of fractional shares
otherwise issuable, the Holders will be entitled to receive, at the Company’s sole discretion, either (i) an amount
in cash equal to the fraction of a share of Common Stock multiplied by the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date or (ii) one additional whole share of Common Stock. In order to determine
whether the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered to a Holder upon the conversion of such Holder’s shares of Series A
Preferred Stock will include a fractional share, such determination shall be based on the aggregate number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock of such Holder that are being converted and/or issued on any single Conversion Date or Change of Control Purchase
Date.

 

Section 12.     Adjustment
for Reorganization Events.

 

(a)           Reorganization
Events. In the event of:

 

(i)            any
reclassification, statutory exchange, merger, consolidation or other similar business combination of the Company with or into another
Person, in each case, pursuant to which at least a majority of the Common Stock is changed or converted into, or exchanged for,
cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person;

 

(ii)           any
sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or a majority of the property and assets of the Company, in each case
pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into cash, securities or other property; or

 

(iii)          any
statutory exchange of securities of the Company with another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition) or
reclassification, recapitalization or reorganization of the Common Stock into other securities;

 

    	 	31	 

     

    

 

other than, in each case, any such transaction
that constitutes a Change of Control, with respect to which, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 9
shall apply (each of which is referred to as a “Reorganization Event”), each share of Series A Preferred
Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event will, without the consent of the Holders and subject to Section 12(d) and
Section 13(b), remain outstanding but shall become convertible into, out of funds legally available therefor, the number,
kind and amount of securities, cash and other property (the “Exchange Property”) (without any interest on such
Exchange Property and without any right to dividends or distribution on such Exchange Property which have a record date that is
prior to the applicable Conversion Date) that the Holder of such share of Series A Preferred Stock would have received in
such Reorganization Event had such Holder converted its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into the applicable number of shares
of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event using the Conversion Price applicable immediately
prior to the effective date of the Reorganization Event and the Base Amount applicable at the time of such subsequent conversion;
provided that the foregoing shall not apply if such Holder is a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which
the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (any such Person,
a “Constituent Person”), to the extent such Reorganization Event provides for different treatment of Common
Stock held by such Constituent Persons. If the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization
Event is not the same for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to such Reorganization Event by a Person (other than
a Constituent Person), then for the purpose of this Section 12(a), the kind and amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon conversion following such Reorganization Event will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types
and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock.

 

(b)           Successive
Reorganization Events. The above provisions of this Section 12 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization
Events and the provisions of Section 11 shall apply to any shares of Capital Stock received by the holders of the Common
Stock in any such Reorganization Event.

 

(c)           Reorganization
Event Notice. The Company (or any successor) shall, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated effective date of
any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such occurrence of such event and of the kind and amount of
the cash, securities or other property that constitutes the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect
the operation of this Section 12.

 

(d)           Reorganization
Event Agreements. The Company shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Reorganization Event unless
(i) such agreement provides for or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable) conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock into the Exchange Property in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to this Section 12, and (ii) to
the extent that the Company is not the surviving corporation in such Reorganization Event or will be dissolved in connection with
such Reorganization Event, proper provision shall be made in the agreements governing such Reorganization Event for the conversion
of the Series A Preferred Stock into stock of the Person surviving such Reorganization Event or such other continuing entity
in such Reorganization Event.

 

    	 	32	 

     

    

 

Section 13.     Voting
Rights.

 

(a)           General.
Except as provided in Section 13(b), Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote as
a single class with the holders of the Common Stock and the holders of any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company
then entitled to vote with the Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock (and, if applicable,
holders of any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company). Each Holder shall be entitled to the number of votes equal
to the product of (i) the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock into which all shares of Series A Preferred
Stock could be converted pursuant to Section 6 multiplied by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number
of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of issued and
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, in each case at and calculated as of the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to vote or consent on such matters or, if no such record date is established, at and as of the date such
vote or consent is taken or any written consent of stockholders is first executed. The Holders shall be entitled to notice of any
meeting of holders of Common Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company.

 

(b)           Adverse
Changes. The vote or consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding
at such time, voting together as a separate class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote
at any meeting called for the purpose, will be necessary for effecting or validating any of the following actions, whether or not
such approval is required pursuant to the DGCL:

 

(i)            any
amendment, alteration or repeal (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation
(including this Certificate of Designations) or By-Laws that would have an adverse effect on the rights, preferences, privileges
or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Holders thereof in any material respect; provided, that for
the avoidance of doubt, any merger, consolidation, or similar transaction shall not be deemed to have such an adverse effect so
long as (A) the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged or the holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock receive equity securities with rights, preferences, privileges and voting power substantially
the same as those of the Series A Preferred Stock, and (B) the provisions of the certification of incorporation or bylaws
(or equivalent governing documents) of the surviving entity or successor entity in such transaction do not differ from the Certificate
of Incorporation or Bylaws in any manner that would have an adverse effect on the rights, preferences, privileges or voting power
of the Series A Preferred Stock or such replacement equity securities or the Holders thereof in any material respect; provided,
further, to the extent that a Holder elects to exercise its Change of Control Put, or the Company elects to exercise its
Change of Control Call, pursuant to Section 9(c), such Holder shall not have voting rights hereunder in respect of
any amendment, alteration or repeal relating to such transaction.

 

(ii)           any
amendment or alteration (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of, or any supplement (whether by a certificate of designations
or otherwise) to, the Certificate of Incorporation or any provision thereof, or any other action to authorize or create, or increase
the number of authorized or issued shares of, or any securities convertible into shares of, or reclassify any security into, or
issue, any Parity Stock or Senior Stock or any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Company ranking senior to, or on a
parity basis with, the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights or rights on the distribution of assets on any voluntary
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company; and

 

    	 	33	 

     

    

 

(iii)          any
increase or decrease in the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or issuance of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock after the Original Issuance Date other than in accordance with Section 4(c) upon the Company’s
election to pay PIK Dividends. provided, however, that the authorization or creation of, or the increase in the number
of authorized or issued shares of, or the reclassification of any security (other than the Series A Preferred Stock) into,
or the issuance of, Junior Stock will not require the vote the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

For purposes of this
Section 13, the filing in accordance with applicable law of a certificate of designations or any similar document setting
forth or changing the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of any class or series
of stock of the Company shall be deemed an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation.

 

(c)           Each
Holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have one vote per share on any matter on which Holders of Series A Preferred
Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class, whether at a meeting or by written consent.

 

(d)           The
vote or consent of the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding at such time, voting together
as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose,
will be sufficient to waive or amend the provisions of Section 9(h) of this Certificate of Designations, and any
amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 9(h) approved by such percentage of the Holders shall
be binding on all of the Holders.

 

(e)           For
the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company,
the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive consent and voting rights set forth in Section 13(b) and
may take action or consent to any action with respect to such rights without a meeting by delivering a consent in writing or by
electronic transmission of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock entitled to cast not less than the minimum number of
votes that would be necessary to authorize, take or consent to such action at a meeting of stockholders.

 

Section 14.     Preemptive
Rights. Except for the right to participate in any issuance of new equity securities by the Company as set forth in the Investment
Agreement, the Holders shall not have any preemptive rights.

 

Section 15.     Term.
Except as expressly provided in this Certificate of Designations, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable
or otherwise mature and the term of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be perpetual.

 

Section 16.     Creation
of Capital Stock. Subject to Section 13(b), the Board, or any duly authorized committee thereof, without the vote
of the Holders, may authorize and issue additional shares of Capital Stock of the Company.

 

    	 	34	 

     

    

 

Section 17.     No
Sinking Fund. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be subject to or entitled to the operation of a retirement
or sinking fund.

 

Section 18.     Transfer
Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar and Paying Agent. The duly appointed Transfer Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar and paying
agent for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be Computershare, N.A. The Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other
Person to serve as Transfer Agent, Conversion Agent, Registrar or paying agent for the Series A Preferred Stock and thereafter
may remove or replace such other Person at any time. Upon any such appointment or removal, the Company shall send notice thereof

required and permitted by applicable law, file with the Commission a supplement to the related prospectus or a post-effective amendment
to the Shelf Registration so that such Investor is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration and the related
prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Investor to deliver a prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance
with applicable law;

 

(b)            if,
pursuant to Section 2(e)(i), the Company shall have filed a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration that
is not automatically effective, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to become effective under
the 1933 Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable, but in any event by the date that is ninety (90) days after the date such
post-effective amendment is required by Section 2(e)(i) to be filed; and

such Investor as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the effectiveness under the 1933 Act of any post-effective amendment
filed pursuant to Section 2(e)(i).

Offering.

 

Section 10.1        If

Offering”), the Electing Investors shall, after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, so advise
the Company by delivering a written notice to the Company (the “Underwritten Offering Notice”) specifying some
or all of the Registrable Securities subject to the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, the Investors
may not, without the Company’s prior written consent, launch (by entering into a definitive underwriting agreement) more
than one (1) Underwritten Offerings within any one hundred and eighty (180)-day period. The Electing Investors shall have
the right to appoint the book-running, managing and other underwriter(s) in consultation with the Company.

 

Section 10.2       The
Company shall not include in any Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 3 any securities that are not Registrable
Securities without the prior written consent of the Investors. If the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Company and
the Investors in writing that, in its or their good faith opinion, the total number of Registrable Securities requested to be so
included (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering), exceeds the total number or
dollar amount of such securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the
Registrable Securities to be so included, then there shall be included in such Underwritten Offering the number or dollar amount
of Registrable Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering) that in the
good faith opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without so adversely affecting such offering, and such number
of Registrable Securities (and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering) shall be allocated
for inclusion as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Investors that have requested to participate
in such Underwritten Offering, allocated pro rata among such Investors on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such offering by such Investors; and (ii) second, and only if all the securities
referred to in clause (i) have been included, any other securities of the Company that have been requested (and permitted)
to be so included.

 

    

    

    

 

ARTICLE XI Suspension.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon notice to the Investors, the Company may delay, on two (2) occasions
in any twelve (12)-month period, the Filing Deadline and/or the Effectiveness Deadline with respect to, or suspend the effectiveness
or availability of any registration statement for up to ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any twelve (12)-month period (a “Suspension
Period”) if the Board determines in good faith that there is a valid business purpose for suspension of such registration
statement; provided that (a) any suspension of a registration statement pursuant to Section 9 shall be
treated as a Suspension Period for purposes of calculating the maximum number of days of any Suspension Period under this Section 4,
(b) the Company shall be actively employing in good faith all reasonable best efforts to launch such registered offering
through such Suspension Period and (c) the Investors are afforded the opportunity to include the Registrable Securities offering
in accordance with Section 6. The Company shall notify the Investors in writing that such Suspension Period is for
a valid business purpose determined by the Board in good faith and such certificate shall contain a statement of the reasons for
such Suspension Period and an approximation of the anticipated length of such Suspension Period (provided such notice shall not
contain material, non-public information about the Company). If the Company defers any registration of Registrable Securities
pursuant to Section 2 or in response to an Underwritten Offering Notice or requires the Investors to suspend any Underwritten
Offering, the Investors shall be entitled to withdraw such demand for registration or Underwritten Offering Notice, as applicable,
and if it does so, such request shall not be treated for any purpose as the delivery of an Underwritten Offering Notice pursuant
to Section 3.

 

ARTICLE XII Take-Down
Notice. Subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, at any time that any Shelf Registration Statement
is effective, if an Investor delivers a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends
to effect a sale or distribution of all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on any Shelf Registration Statement
that requires an amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Offering”) and stating
the number of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Offering, then the Company shall amend or supplement the
Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary, subject to the other applicable provisions of this Agreement, in order to enable
such Registrable Securities to be sold and distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering.

 

ARTICLE XIII Piggyback
Registration.

 

Section 13.1       Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if at any time the Company files a registration statement under the 1933 Act with
respect to an offering of Common Stock or any other equity securities of the Company (such Common Stock and other equity securities
collectively, “Other Securities”), whether or not for sale for its own account (other than a registration statement
(i) on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto or (ii) filed solely in connection with any employee
benefit or dividend reinvestment plan), then the Company shall promptly give written notice of such filing to the Investors, which
notice shall be given, to the extent reasonably practicable, no later than ten (10) Business Days before the filing or launch
date (the “Piggyback Notice”). The Piggyback Notice and the contents thereof shall be kept confidential by the
Investors and their respective Affiliates and representatives. The Piggyback Notice shall offer each Investor the opportunity to
include (or cause to be included) in such registration statement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the number
of Registrable Securities as such Investor may request (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect
to which the Company has received from an Electing Investor a written request for inclusion therein (a “Piggyback Request”)
within five (5) Business Days following receipt of any Piggyback Notice by such Electing Investor (but in any event not later
than one (1) Business Day prior to the filing date of a Piggyback Registration Statement), which Piggyback Request shall specify
the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Electing Investor and the intended method of distribution.
For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may not commence or permit
the commencement of any sale of Other Securities in a public offering to which this Section 6 applies unless the Electing
Investors shall have received the Piggyback Notice in respect to such public offering not less than ten (10) Business Days
prior to the commencement of such sale of Other Securities. The Electing Investors shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of
the Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration at any time at least one (1) Business Day prior to the effective
date of the registration statement relating to such Piggyback Registration.

 

 

     

    

    

 

Section 13.2        If
any Other Securities to be registered pursuant to the registration giving rise to the rights under this Section 6 are
to be sold in an underwritten offering, (i) the Company or other Persons designated by the Company shall have the right to
appoint the book-running, managing and other underwriter(s) for such offering in their discretion and (ii) to the extent
such Other Securities are of the same class as the Registrable Securities, the Electing Investors shall be permitted to include
in such offering any number of the Registrable Securities included in each such Electing Investor’s Piggyback Request on
the same terms and conditions as such Other Securities proposed by the Company or any third party to be included in such offering;
provided, however, that if the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering advise the Company in writing
that it is their good faith opinion that the total amount of Registrable Securities requested to be so included, together with
all Other Securities that the Company and any other Persons having rights to participate in such registration intend to include
in such offering (an “Underwriter Cutback”), exceeds the total number or dollar amount of such securities that
can be sold without having an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities to be so included
together with all Other Securities, then there shall be included in such firm commitment underwritten offering the number or dollar
amount of Registrable Securities and such Other Securities that in the good faith opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can
be sold without so adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities shall be allocated
for inclusion as follows: (A) first, all Other Securities being sold by the Company for its own account; (B) second,
and only if all the securities referred to in clause (A) have been included, all Registrable Securities requested to be included
in such registration by the Electing Investors, pro rata, based on the number of Registrable Securities beneficially owned
by such Electing Investors; and (C) third, and only if all the securities referred to in clauses (A) and (B) have
been included, all Other Securities of any holders thereof (other than the Company and the Electing Investors) requesting inclusion
in such underwritten offering, allocated pro rata on the basis of the number of Other Securities beneficially owned by each
such holder of Other Securities.

 

Section 13.3       Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Piggyback Registration rights described in Section 6 shall not apply to any Block Trades undertaken by
the Company on behalf of itself or any other holders of Common Stock.

 

    

    

    

 

ARTICLE XIV Expenses
of Registration. Except as specifically provided for in this Agreement, all Registration Expenses incurred in connection
with any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection
with any registration hereunder shall be borne by the Electing Investors in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities
for which registration was requested.

(including to permit the intended method of distribution thereof) and as may be necessary to keep the registration statement continuously
effective for the period set forth in this Agreement;

 

Section 15.3       Furnish
to the Electing Investors and to their legal counsel copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including
each preliminary prospectus) proposed to be filed and provide the Electing Investors and their legal counsel a reasonable opportunity

and timely made; provided that the Company shall include in such documents any such comments that are necessary to correct
any material misstatement or omission regarding an Electing Investor;

 

Section 15.4        if
requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or an Electing Investor, promptly include in any prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or any Electing Investor may
reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such
prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has received such request;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 8(d) that are not, in
the opinion of counsel for the Company, in compliance with applicable law

 

Section 15.5        Furnish
to the Electing Investors and to their legal counsel such number of copies of the applicable registration statement and each such

in accordance with applicable laws and regulations in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered
by such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto;

 

    

    

    

 

Section 15.6       Use
its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under blue sky or such
other securities laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Electing Investors and to keep such registration
or qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect; provided that the Company shall
not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service
of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

 

Section 15.7        In
connection with a customary due diligence review, make available for inspection by the Electing Investors any underwriter(s) participating

or information that it determines, in its reasonable judgment, are competitively sensitive or legally privileged;

 

Section 15.8       Enter
into customary agreements and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to facilitate the disposition of such
Registrable Securities, including, if the method of distribution of Registrable Securities is by means of an underwritten offering,
using reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the chief executive officer and chief financial officer to participate in “road
show” presentations and/or investor conference calls to market the Registrable Securities; provided that the aggregate
number of days of “road show” presentations in connection with an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities for
each registration pursuant to a demand made under Section 3 shall not exceed five (5) Business Days; (ii) negotiate
and execute an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering and such other documents
reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, including using reasonable best efforts to procure a customary
legal opinion and auditor “comfort” letters and (iii) take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the
Electing Investors (including any reasonable actions requested by the managing underwriters, if any) to facilitate the disposition
of such Registrable Securities. The Electing Investors shall also enter into and perform their obligations under such underwriting
agreement;

 

Section 15.9        If
such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered
to the underwriters, an opinion, dated as of such date, of the legal counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such
registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the
underwriters, if any, and a “negative assurance letter,” dated as of such date, of the legal counsel representing the
Company for purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters and (ii) furnish,
on the date of the underwriting agreement and on the date that the Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters, a
letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily
given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters;

 

    

    

    

 

Section 15.10     Use
reasonable best efforts to list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange
on which the Common Stock is then listed;

 

Section 15.11     Give
notice to the Electing Investors as promptly as reasonably practicable:

 

(a)            when
any registration statement filed pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 or in which Registrable Securities are included pursuant
to Section 6, or any amendment to such registration statement, has been filed with the Commission, and when such registration
statement or any post-effective amendment to such registration statement has become effective;

 

(b)            when
any prospectus or any prospectus supplement has been filed and, with respect to such registration statement, when the same has
become effective;

 

(c)            of
any request by the Commission or other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to any registration
statement (or any information incorporated by reference in, or exhibits to, such registration statement) filed pursuant to Sections 
2 or 3 or in which Registrable Securities are included pursuant to Section 6 or the prospectus (including
information incorporated by reference in such prospectus) included in such registration statement or for additional information;

 

(d)            of
the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed pursuant to Sections
2 or 3 or in which Registrable Securities are included pursuant to Section 6 or the initiation of any proceedings
for that purpose;

 

(e)            if
at any time the Company has reason to believe that the representations and warranties of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement contemplated by Section 8(h) above) cease to
be true and correct;

 

(f)            of
the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption
from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose; and

 

(g)           at
any time when a prospectus relating to any such registration statement is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, of the
occurence of any event as a result of which such prospectus (including any material incorporated by reference or deemed to be
incorporated by reference in such prospectus), 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 not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing, which event requires the Company to make changes in such effective registration statement and prospectus
in order to ensure that the statements therein or incorporated by reference therein will not contain an 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
in light of the circumstances then existing (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus
until the requisite changes have been made and shall not contain any material, non-public information about the Company);

 

    

    

    

 

Section 15.12     Use
its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration
statement referred to in Section 8(k)(iv) at the earliest practicable time;

 

Section 15.13     Cooperate
with the Electing Investors and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of Registrable Securities and their
respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA, including the use of reasonable best efforts
to obtain FINRA’s pre-clearance or pre-approval of the registration statement and applicable prospectus upon filing with
the Commission;

 

Section 15.14     Upon
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 8(k)(vii), reasonably promptly prepare a post-effective amendment
to such registration statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered to the Electing Investors, the prospectus will not contain (or incorporate by reference) an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Electing Investors in accordance with Section 8(k)(vii) to
suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Electing Investors shall
suspend use of such prospectus and, if requested by the Company, use their reasonable best efforts to return to the Company all
copies of such prospectus (at the Company’s expense) other than permanent file copies then in the Electing Investors’
possession, and the period of effectiveness of such registration statement provided for in Section 8(a) above
shall be extended by the number of days from and including the date of the giving of such notice to the date the Electing Investors
shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus pursuant to this Section 8(n); and

 

Section 15.15     Procure
the cooperation of the Company’s transfer agent in settling any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including with
respect to the transfer of physical stock certificates into book-entry form, no later than the effective date of such registration
statement. In connection therewith, if reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company shall, promptly after
the effectiveness of the registration statement, cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the registration statement
to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions
required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without legend
upon sale by the holder of such shares of Registrable Securities under the registration statement.

 

    

    

    

 

ARTICLE XVI Suspension
of Sales. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company pursuant to Section 8(k)(vii), the Electing
Investors shall immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until they (i) have received copies of a
supplemented or amended prospectus or prospectus supplement pursuant to Section 8(n) or (ii) are
advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement may be resumed,
and, if so directed by the Company, the Electing Investors shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all
copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Electing Investors’ possession, of the prospectus and, if
applicable, prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

 

ARTICLE XVII Limitation
on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date hereof, the Company shall not enter into any agreement
granting any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company registration rights with respect to such
securities that conflict with the rights granted to the Investors herein without the prior written consent of the Investors
holding a majority of the Registrable Securities. It is agreed that the granting of pro rata registration rights to
any other investor in the Company shall not be considered to conflict with the rights granted to the Investors herein.

 

ARTICLE XVIII Free
Writing Prospectuses. The Electing Investors shall not use any free writing prospectus (as defined in
Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of
the Company; provided that the Electing Investors may use any free writing prospectus prepared and distributed by the
Company.

 

ARTICLE XIX Indemnification.

 

Section 19.1       Notwithstanding
any termination of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each
of the Electing Investors and each of their respective current and former officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, members,
stockholders, representatives and Affiliates, and each Person or entity, if any, that controls the Electing Investors within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the officers, directors, employees, agents
partners, members, managers, stockholders, representatives and Affiliates of each such controlling Person, and each underwriter
thereof, if any, and each Person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (each,
an “Investor Indemnitee”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, penalties,
charges, amounts paid in settlement and costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys
and other professionals) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, arising out of, caused by, based upon,
resulting from or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference
in any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, offering circular or other
document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or contained in any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term
is defined in Rule 433 under the 1933 Act) prepared by the Company or authorized by it in writing for use by the Investors
or any amendment or supplement thereto; (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
or (iii) any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act, the Exchange Act or state
securities laws applicable to the Company in connection with any such registration, and, without limiting the foregoing, the Company
will reimburse each of the Investor Indemnitees for any reasonable legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection
with investigating, preparing or defending against any such Losses, as such expenses are incurred; provided that the Company
shall not be liable to such Investor Indemnitee with respect to any Losses (i) for which any Electing Investor must indemnify
any Company Indemnitee under Section 12(b), or (ii) based upon offers or sales effected by such Investor Indemnitee
 “by means of” (as defined in Rule 159A under the 1933 Act) a “free writing prospectus” (as defined
in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) that was not authorized in writing by the Company; provided that the Company shall
have delivered to each Electing Investor such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the applicable registration
statement and any amendments or supplements thereto pursuant to Section 8(d) no later than the time of contract
of sale in accordance with Rule 159 under the 1933 Act.

 

    

    

    

 

Section 19.2       Each
Electing Investor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company
and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s
securities covered by such a registration, each Person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15
of the 1933 Act (each, a “Company Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Losses arising out of, caused by,
based upon, resulting from or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration
statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
contained in any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the 1933 Act) or
(ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such
untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Electing Investor furnished in writing to the Company
by such Electing Investor stated to be specifically for use therein. In no event shall the liability of any Electing Investor hereunder
be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Electing Investor upon the sale of the Registrable
Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

Section 19.3        If
any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”)
with respect to a claim for which indemnity is required under this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the
Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall
assume the defense in such proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and
the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with such defense; provided that the failure of any Indemnified
Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Section 12,
except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is
not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying
Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense
of such proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless:
(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 proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party
in any such proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and, in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party, a conflict of interest
may exist as a result of the representation of both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel (in which
case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense
of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall
be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party); provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to, but only to the extent necessary, one local counsel) at any
time for all Indemnified Parties, unless in the reasonable judgment of any Indemnified Party a conflict of interest may exist between
such Indemnified Party and any other Indemnified Parties with respect to a claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for
any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified
Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims
that are the subject matter of such proceeding. All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses
to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with
this Section 12) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, promptly upon receipt of written notice thereof
by the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification
hereunder; provided that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees
and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under
this Section 12). The indemnification set forth in this Section 12 shall be in addition to any other indemnification
rights or agreements that an Indemnified Party may have.

 

    

    

    

 

Section 19.4        If
the indemnification provided for in Sections 12(a) or 12(b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses referred to in Sections 12(a) or 12(b),
as the case may be, or is insufficient to hold the Indemnified Party harmless as contemplated therein, then the Indemnifying Party,
in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result
of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and
the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements, omissions or violations which resulted in such Losses,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and of the
Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or
by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Investors agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 12(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation
that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 12(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in no event shall the liability of any Electing Investor hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds
received by such Electing Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation. No
Indemnified Party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall
be entitled to contribution from an Indemnifying Party not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

    

    

    

 

ARTICLE XX Agreement
to Furnish Information. If requested by the Company or the book-running managing underwriter(s) of Common
Stock (or other securities of the Company convertible into Common Stock), each Electing Investor shall provide such
information regarding itself and its Registrable Securities as may be reasonably required by the Company or such
representative of the book-running managing underwriter(s) in connection with the filing of a registration statement and
the completion of any public offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE XXI Rule 144
Reporting. With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of certain rules and regulations of
the Commission which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities that are Common Stock to the public without
registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to: (a) make and keep public information available,
as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or any similar or analogous
rule promulgated under the 1933 Act, at all times after the effective date of this Agreement
(“Rule 144”); (b) file with the Commission, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the Exchange Act; (c) so long as the Investors own any Registrable Securities, furnish to
such Investors forthwith upon request: (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting
requirements of Rule 144 and of the Exchange Act; (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the
Company; and (iii) such other reports and documents as such Investors may reasonably request in availing themselves of
any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing them to sell any such Common Stock without registration and
(d) so long as the Investors own any Registrable Securities, take such further necessary action as any Investor may
reasonably request in connection with the removal of any restrictive legend on the Registrable Securities being sold to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Investor to sell the Restricted Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144 as determined in consultation with Company
counsel.

 

ARTICLE XXII Miscellaneous.

 

Section 22.1       Termination
of Registration Rights. The registration rights of any particular Investor granted under this Agreement shall terminate with
respect to such Investor upon the date upon which neither the Investor nor any of its Affiliates holds any Registrable Securities.

 

Section 22.2       Holdback
Agreement. In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations under this Agreement, each Investor agrees in connection
with any underwritten offering (i) pursuant to Section 3 or (ii) with respect to which Investors exercise
their piggyback rights under Section 6, in each case where the Company has complied with its obligations under this
Agreement, upon the request of the underwriters managing any such underwritten offering, not to effect (other than pursuant to
such offering) any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, any sale pursuant to Rule 144,
or make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities, any other
equity securities of the Company or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity securities of
the Company, in each case without the prior written consent of such underwriters and subject to customary exceptions, during the
Holdback Period; provided that nothing herein will prevent any Investor from making a transfer to an Affiliate that is otherwise
in compliance with applicable securities laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any discretionary waiver or termination of this holdback
provision by such underwriters with respect to any of the Investors shall apply to the other Investors as well, pro rata
based upon the number of shares subject to such obligations.

 

    

    

    

 

Section 22.3       Governing
Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. Each of the
parties hereto agrees (i) to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the State or Federal courts in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, (ii) that exclusive jurisdiction and venue shall lie in the State or Federal courts in the
State of New York, and (iii) that notice may be served upon such party at the address and in the manner set forth for such
party in Section 15(h). To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto hereby unconditionally
waives trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.

 

Section 22.4       Specific
Performance. Each of the Investors, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, acknowledges and agrees that irreparable
injury to the other party hereto would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance
with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that such injury would not be adequately compensable by the remedies available
at law (including the payment of money damages). It is accordingly agreed that the Investors, on the one hand, and the Company,
on the other hand (the “Moving Party”), shall each be entitled to specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief
to prevent any violation of, the terms hereof, and the other party hereto will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition
to the Moving Party seeking such relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. This Section 15(d) is
not the exclusive remedy for any violation of this Agreement.

 

Section 22.5       Successors
and Assigns. The registration rights hereunder are not transferable and may not be assigned to any person without the prior
written consent of the other party hereto, other than Affiliates of the Buyer. Any transfer or assignment in violation of the forgoing
shall be null and void ab initio. In the event that any Affiliate of the Buyer acquires or becomes a transferee or assignee of
any Registrable Securities, such Affiliate shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof
for all purposes and such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding
such Registrable Securities such Affiliate shall be treated as an “Investor” for all purposes under this Agreement
and shall be entitled to receive the benefits of, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the applicable
terms and provisions of, this Agreement. No Person who acquires securities transferred in violation of this Agreement, or who acquires
securities that are not or upon acquisition cease to be Registrable Shares, shall have any rights under this Agreement with respect
to such securities, and such securities shall not have the benefits afforded hereunder to Registrable Securities. In the event
that the Company consolidates or merges with or into any Person and the Common Stock or any other Registrable Securities are, in
whole or in part, converted into or exchanged for securities of a different issuer, and any Investor would, upon completion of
such merger or consolidation, hold Registrable Securities of such issuer, then as a condition to such transaction the Company will
cause such issuer to assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in a written instrument delivered
to the Investors.

 

    

    

    

 

Section 22.6       No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement is intended
solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns, and is not for the benefit
of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person; provided, however, that each Indemnified Party
shall be entitled to the rights, remedies and obligations provided to an Indemnified Party under Section 12, and each
such Indemnified Party shall have standing as a third-party beneficiary under Section 12 to enforce such rights, remedies
and obligations.

 

Section 22.7       Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the Investment Agreement supersede all other prior or contemporaneous negotiations, writings
and understandings between the Investors, the Company, their Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the
matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the Investment Agreement, and the instruments referenced herein and therein constitute
the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties hereto with regard to the matters covered herein and therein,
and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor any Investor makes any representation, warranty,
covenant or undertaking with respect to any such matters.

Section 22.9       Delays
or Omissions. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative
and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

 

Section 22.10     Expenses.
The Company and the Investors shall bear their own expenses and legal fees incurred on their behalf with respect to this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.

 

Section 22.11     Amendments
and Waivers. Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a
particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only if such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the
case of an amendment, by the Company and the holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding or,
in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance
with this Section 15(k) shall be binding upon each holder of any Registrable Securities at the time outstanding
(including securities convertible into Registrable Securities), each future holder of all such Registrable Securities and the Company.
No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the Investors or holders of Registrable
Securities.

 

    

    

    

 

Section 22.12     Counterparts.
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
or .pdf format signature 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, not a facsimile or .pdf signature.

 

Section 22.13     Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid or unenforceable, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended
to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision
shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues
to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited
nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations
or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the
parties. The parties hereto will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with
a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

Section 22.14     Headings;
Interpretation. The headings used in this Agreement are used for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered
part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference
shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes”
or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
The words “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise
stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise
specified in this Agreement, the term “dollars” and the symbol “$” mean U.S. dollars for purposes of this
Agreement and all amounts in this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. dollars. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable
to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of
such term. Any agreement, instrument or statute, rule or regulation defined or referred to in this Agreement means such agreement,
instrument or statute, rule or regulation as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of
agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes. Any
reference to any section under the 1933 Act or Exchange Act, or any rule promulgated thereunder, shall include any publicly
available interpretive releases, policy statements, staff accounting bulletins, staff accounting manuals, staff legal bulletins,
staff “no-action,” interpretive and exemptive letters and staff compliance and disclosure interpretations (including
 “telephone interpretations”) of such section or rule by the Commission. Each of the parties has participated in
the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement
shall be construed as if it were drafted by each of the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or
disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
