No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Acquirer Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Target Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of shares of Acquirer Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Target Company Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Acquirer Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of Target Company Common Stock exchanged by such holder) shall in lieu thereof, upon surrender of such holder’s Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, receive in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the last reported sale price of Acquirer Common Stock on the NYSE American on the last complete trading day prior to the date of the Effective Time.

2.3 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Exchange Agent; Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Acquirer shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Exchange Shares for the Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares. At or promptly following the Effective Time, Acquirer shall deposit, or cause the Surviving Corporation to deposit, with the Exchange Agent: (i) certificates representing the shares of Acquirer Common Stock to be issued as Exchange Shares (or make appropriate alternative arrangements if uncertificated shares of Acquirer Common Stock represented by book-entry shares will be issued); and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.2(d). In addition, Acquirer shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, any dividends or other distributions, if any, to which the holders of Target Company Common Stock may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(b) for distributions or dividends, on the Acquirer Common Stock to which they are entitled to pursuant to Section 2.2(a), with both a record and payment date after the Effective Time and prior to the surrender of the Target Company Common Stock in exchange for such Acquirer Common Stock. Such cash and shares of Acquirer Common Stock, together with any dividends or other distributions deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3(a), are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) Procedures for Surrender; No Interest. Promptly after the Effective Time, Acquirer shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Target Company Common Stock at the Effective Time, whose Target Company Common Stock was converted pursuant to Section 2.2(a) into the right to receive the Exchange Shares, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as Acquirer and the Surviving Corporation may reasonably specify) for use in such exchange. Each holder of shares of Target Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Exchange Shares shall be entitled to receive the Exchange Shares into which such shares of Target Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 2.2(a) in respect of the Target Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share, any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(d), and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.3(b) upon: (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate; or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares; in each case, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Upon payment of the Exchange Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article 2, each Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Share or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, shall immediately be cancelled.

(c) Payments to Non-Registered Holders. If any portion of the Exchange Shares is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that: (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred; and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) Full Satisfaction. All Exchange Shares paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Target Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Target Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2.

(e) Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Shares. All shares of Acquirer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by the Acquirer in respect of the Acquirer Common Stock, the record date for which is after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares issuable pursuant to the Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Acquirer Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Target Company Common Stock until the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.5) or Book-Entry Share is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.3. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following such surrender, there shall be issued or paid to the holder of record of the whole shares of Acquirer Common Stock issued in exchange for Target Company Common Stock in accordance with this Section 2.3, without interest: (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Acquirer Common Stock and not paid; and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Acquirer Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

2.4 Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Target Company or the Acquirer Common Stock shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Target Company or Acquirer as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares, or similar transaction, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Exchange Ratio and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit Acquirer or the Target Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

2.5 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed and, if required by Acquirer, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Acquirer may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the Exchange Shares to be paid in respect of the shares of Target Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article 2.

2.6 Treatment of Stock Options, Other Stock-Based Compensation, and Warrants.

(a) Target Company Stock Options. As of the Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Target Company Common Stock (each, a “Target Company Stock Option”) that is outstanding under any Target Company equity incentive plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, or any other Person, be assumed by Acquirer and shall be converted into an option to acquire shares of Acquirer Common Stock (each, an “Acquirer Stock Option”) in accordance with this Section 2.6. Each such Acquirer Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Target Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, each such Acquirer Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall be an option to acquire that number of whole shares of Acquirer Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of: (i) the number of shares of Target Company Common Stock subject to such Target Company Stock Option; and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Acquirer Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per share of Target Company Common Stock of such Target Company Stock Option by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock subject to the Acquirer Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and, in the case of Target Company Stock Options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

(b) Target Company Restricted Stock. The Target Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each share of Target Company Common Stock subject to vesting, repurchase, or other lapse of restrictions (a “Target Company Restricted Stock”) that is outstanding under any Target Company equity incentive plan as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Acquirer and shall be converted into restricted common stock of Acquirer in accordance with this Section 2.6 (“Acquirer Restricted Stock”). Each share of Acquirer Restricted Stock shall continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Target Company Restricted Stock immediately before the Effective Time (including vesting, repurchase, or other lapse restrictions). As of the Effective Time, each such holder of Target Company Restricted Stock so assumed and converted will receive that number of whole Acquirer Restricted Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of: (i) the number of shares of Target Company Restricted Stock held by that holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) the Exchange Ratio.

(c) Target Company Warrants. As of the Effective Time, each warrant to acquire shares of Target Company Common Stock (each, a “Target Company Warrant”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, or any other Person, be assumed by Acquirer and shall be converted into a warrant to acquire shares of Acquirer Common Stock (each, an “Acquirer Warrant”) in accordance with this Section 2.6. Each such Acquirer Warrant as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Target Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, each such Acquirer Warrant as so assumed and converted shall be an option to acquire that number of whole shares of Acquirer Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of: (i) the number of shares of Target Company Common Stock subject to such Target Company Warrant; and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Acquirer Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per share of Target Company Common Stock of such Target Company Warrant by (B) the Exchange Ratio.

(d) Resolutions and Other Target Company Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Target Company, the Target Company’s Board of Directors, and the compensation committee of such board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions (including obtaining any employee consents) that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.6.

(e) Acquirer Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, Acquirer shall reserve for future issuance a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock that will be subject to Acquirer Equity Awards as a result of the actions contemplated by this Section 2.6. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, if and to the extent necessary to cause a sufficient number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock to be registered and issuable with respect to the Acquirer Equity Awards, Acquirer shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of Acquirer Common Stock subject to the Acquirer Equity Awards.

(f) Dissenting Shares.

The number of Escrow Shares held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement shall be allocated among the Owners pro rata (as the same may be released to the Owners’ Representative pursuant to Section 9.4(d)).

2.7 Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that each such party (A) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) is responsible for paying its own Tax, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Merger is determined not to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

2.8 Board of Directors of Acquirer. The Acquirer shall take all necessary corporate action to cause, as of the Effective Time, an increase in the size of the Acquirer’s Board of Directors to not less than five (5) directors, comprised of (i) three (3) directors designated by Acquirer (the “Acquirer Designees”), one whom shall be ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ who will serve as the chairperson and (ii) two (2) directors designated by the Target Company (the “Target Designees” and together with the Acquirer Designees, the “Designees”), one of whom will be ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and the remaining directors, if any, mutually agreed upon by ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

Each Designee shall serve until such individual’s successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Law and the Organizational Documents of the Acquirer. Designees not named herein shall be identified promptly following the date hereof. In the event any Designee becomes unable or unwilling to serve prior to the Effective Time on the Acquirer’s Board of Directors in the role identified, a replacement for such Designee shall be determined prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the principles set forth in this Section 2.8. Acquirer will enter into customary indemnification agreements with such Designees, including the Acquirer Designees and the Target Designees, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to them, prior to the Effective Time.

Each Significant Owner acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are a material and substantial part of the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement (supported by adequate consideration), and are fair, reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Acquirer’s and the Target Company’s legitimate business interests. Each Significant Owner further acknowledges that: (a) each Significant Owner is deriving substantial economic benefit from the receipt of Exchange Shares in connection with the Transaction; (b) each Significant Owner is entering into this Agreement solely in connection with the receipt of Exchange Shares and not in connection with any contemplated employment with Acquirer or any of its Affiliates; and (c) a breach of any of such covenants or any other provision of this Section 6.7 will result in irreparable harm and damage to the Acquirer, the Target Company, or their Affiliates that cannot be adequately compensated by a monetary award. Accordingly, it is expressly agreed that in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity (including, without limitation, money damages from any Significant Owner), Acquirer shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or such other form of injunctive or equitable relief as may be used by any court of competent jurisdiction to restrain or enjoin any Significant Owner from breaching any such covenant or provision or to specifically enforce the provisions hereof, without the need to post any bond or other security. The Acquirer and the Significant Owners agree that each Significant Owner shall be severally liable for any such Significant Owner’s breach of the provisions of this Section 6.7, and shall not be jointly liable for any other Significant Owner’s breach of this Section 6.7 except to the extent such non-breaching Significant Owner contributed in some way to or conspired with the breaching Significant Owner with respect to such other Significant Owner’s breach of this Section 6.7.

(ii) Independence of Obligations. Each Significant Owners’ obligations under this Section 6.7 are absolute and shall not be terminated or otherwise limited by virtue of any breach (on the part of Acquirer, the Target Company, any of their Affiliates or any other Person) of any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, or by virtue of any failure to perform or other breach of any obligation of Acquirer, the Target Company, any of their Affiliates or any other Person. In addition, the covenants and obligations of each Significant Owner set forth in this Section 6.7 shall be construed as independent of any other agreement or arrangement between each Significant Owner, on the one hand, and Acquirer, the Target Company, or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, and except as otherwise required by law, the existence of any claim or cause of action by any Significant Owner against Acquirer, the Target Company, or any of their Affiliates shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of the covenants or obligations in this Section 6.7 against such Significant Owner.

(iii) Advice of Counsel. Each Owner acknowledges that it has either been represented by independent legal counsel or that it has waived its right to obtain advice of legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iv) Specific Performance. The Owners agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Section 6.7 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Acquirer shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Section 6.7 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Section 6.7 in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Unless otherwise required by Law, any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice of the Target Company, and such Tax Return (other than payroll Tax Returns) shall be submitted by the Target Company to Acquirer (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Acquirer, supporting documentation) at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If Acquirer objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within ten (10) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify the Target Company in writing that it so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Acquirer and the Target Company shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such items. If Acquirer and the Target Company are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Target Company of the notice of objection, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant and any determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final.

The costs, fees, and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne one-half by Acquirer and one-half by the Target Company.

(c) Acquirer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed (taking into account all extensions properly obtained), all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Target Company after the Closing Date with respect to any Straddle Period and the Target Company shall pay and discharge all Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns, subject to the rights of an Indemnified Party under Article 9. Unless otherwise required by Law, any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice of the Target Company, and such Tax Return (other than payroll Tax Returns) shall be submitted by the Acquirer to the Target Company (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by the Target Company, supporting documentation) at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If the Target Company objects to any item on any such Tax Return, it shall, within ten (10) days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify Acquirer in writing that it objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Acquirer and the Target Company shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such items. If Acquirer and the Target Company are unable to reach such agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by Acquirer of the notice of objection, the disputed items shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant and any determination by the Independent Accountant shall be final. The Independent Accountant shall resolve any disputed items within ten (10) days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Independent Accountant is unable to resolve any disputed items at least three (3) days before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by Acquirer and then amended to reflect the Independent Accountant's resolution. The costs, fees, and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne one-half by Acquirer and one-half by the Target Company.

The Target Company agrees that Acquirer is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action of the Target Company, its Affiliates, or any of their respective Representatives and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Acquirer (and, after the Closing Date, the Target Company) against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset.

(g) The Target Company agrees (i) to retain all books and records of the Target Company in the possession of the Target Company with respect to Tax matters relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Acquirer, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (ii) to give the other applicable party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying, or discarding any such books and records and, if the other applicable party so requests, the Target Company shall allow the other applicable party to take possession of such books and records.

The Acquirer and its Affiliates shall cause the Target Company to file for and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Seller Tax Refund.

The Target Company shall (a) no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, solicit from each “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code) who would otherwise be entitled to receive any payment or benefits that would constitute a “parachute payment” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code) a waiver of such disqualified individual’s rights to some or all of such payments or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) so that all remaining payments and/or benefits, if any, shall not be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) and (b) no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, with respect to each individual who agrees to the waivers described in clause (a), submit to a vote in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B)(i) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (along with adequate disclosure satisfying the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B)(ii) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) the right of any such “disqualified individual” to receive the Waived 280G Benefits (the “280G Vote”).

(a) If the Closing occurs, the Acquirer agrees that all rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses and all limitations on liability existing in favor of any employee, officer or director of any of the Target Company prior to the Closing (collectively, the “D&O Persons”), as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Target Company or otherwise in effect as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any matters occurring on or prior to the Closing, shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue in full force and effect and be honored by the Acquirer after the Closing.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, the Target Company, at its sole cost and expense, shall purchase and maintain in effect for a period of six years following the Closing Date, without lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the Target Company as of the date hereof with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Closing Date. Such “tail” policy shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured than the coverage provided under the Target Company’s director’s and officer’s liability insurance policies as of the date hereof; provided, that the Target Company shall not pay a premium for such “tail” policy in excess of 300% of the most recent annual premium paid by the Target Company prior to the date of this Agreement without the prior written consent of Acquirer. In the event such tail coverage is unavailable with such terms or at such pricing, the Target Company shall purchase the maximum coverage available for such 300% of the most recent annual premium paid (the “D&O Tail Policy”).

Such extended reporting periods shall be for a commercially reasonable duration but no less than the following unless otherwise permitted by Acquirer: 2 years for fiduciary liability; 3 years for employment practices; 3 years for errors & omissions; and 5 years for pollution legal liability.

ARTICLE 9
INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification of Acquirer.

(i) From and after the Closing, the Significant Owners shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Acquirer, each of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Target Company) and each of its and their respective managers, directors, officers, employees, members, partners, stockholders, successors and permitted assignees (the “Acquirer Indemnitees”), from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, Taxes, fines, judgments, awards, settlements, costs, fees and expenses, including costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) (all of the foregoing collectively, “Losses”) incurred, suffered, paid or sustained by any Acquirer Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with (A) any breach or inaccuracy in of any of the representations or warranties of the Target Company or the Significant Owners contained in Article 3; (B) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Target Company contained herein to be performed prior to or at the Closing; (C) Indemnified Taxes; (D) any claims made by Owners (or any direct or indirect holders thereof) with respect to the determination of the number of the Exchange Shares allocated among Owners); (E) dissenters’, appraisal or similar rights asserted by any equity holder of the Target Company under any Law; and (F) any unpaid Change in Control Payments or Transaction Expenses.

(ii) From and after the Closing, each Owner shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Acquirer Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses incurred, suffered, paid or sustained by any Acquirer Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with (A) any breach or inaccuracy in of any of the representations or warranties of such Owner contained in Article 4; and (C) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by such Owner contained in this Agreement.

(b) Indemnification of Owners. From and after the Closing, Acquirer and the Target Company shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Owners, each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective managers, directors, officers, employees, members, partners, stockholders, successors and permitted assignees (the “Owner Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses incurred, suffered, paid or sustained by any Owner Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with (i) any breach or inaccuracy in of any of the representations or warranties of Acquirer or the Merger Sub contained herein; (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Acquirer or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement; and (iii) any unpaid Change in Control Payments or Transaction Expenses.

9.2 Procedure. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by any Acquirer Indemnitee or Owner Indemnitee, as applicable, (an “Indemnified Party”) for indemnification:

(a) Third Party Claims.

(i) If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Significant Owners or the Owners, on one hand, or Acquirer and the Target Company, on the other hand (as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”; provided, however, that if the Significant Owners are required to provide indemnification, Owners’ Representative shall be the Indemnifying Party for the purposes of actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 9.2) are obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Owners’ Representative (on behalf of such Indemnifying Party) or Acquirer, as applicable, prompt written notice thereof (a “Third-Party Claim Notice”). The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s defense of such claim is materially and adversely prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail (to the extent then known) and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in good faith in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim.

(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty days after receipt of a Third-Party Claim Notice (which written notice by the Indemnifying Party shall include an irrevocable acknowledgement of the Indemnifying Party that the Indemnified Party will be fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, including the engagement of the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense (and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over the defense) of a Third-Party Claim if: (A) such Third-Party Claim involves criminal allegations; (B) such Third-Party Claim demands injunctive or other equitable relief; (C) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that it would be inappropriate for a single counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third-Party Claim under applicable standards of legal ethics; (D) there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; (E) such Third-Party Claim is made by or otherwise involves any of the Target Company’s material business relations (including any of its customers or suppliers, including (for the avoidance of doubt) manufacturers and their respective Affiliates); or (F) in the event such claim were to be decided adversely, the aggregate amount of Losses associated therewith, together with all other outstanding claims for indemnification hereunder, would reasonably be expected to exceed the aggregate liability limitations set forth in this Article 9.

(iii) In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party apprised of the status of any matter the defense of which they are maintaining, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third-Party Claim and permit the Indemnified Party to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise, and defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim.

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 9.2(a)(iv). If (1) a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim that (A) only involves the payment of monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and does not include any liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party, (B) provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim, (C) does not involve any statement, finding or admission of any fault of, breach of contract by, or violation of Law by, the Indemnified Party; (D) includes a reasonable confidentiality obligation by the third party claimant of the terms of the settlement in any settlement agreement; and (E) provides that the Indemnified Party is an express third party beneficiary of the settlement agreement, entitled to enforce such settlement agreement, and (2) the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim.

(b) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof (a “Direct Claim Notice”). The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s defense of such claim is actually materially and adversely prejudiced by reason of such failure. Such notice shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim by giving reasonable access to the Target Company’s or Owner’s personnel, as applicable, and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request solely to the extent that they relate to the Direct Claim; provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of the Acquirer or the Target Company or applicable Owner, as applicable; provided, further, that such access shall not jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product doctrine or any other applicable privilege to which any such books and records, materials and other information is subject. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim.

9.3 Determination of Losses; Priority of Claims.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to an Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 9.1(a)(A) or Section 9.1(b)(i), as applicable, until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.1(a)(A) and Section 9.1(a)(ii)(A) or Section 9.1(b)(i), as applicable, exceeds an amount in United States Dollars equal to one percent (1%) of the value of the Exchange Shares (using a value per Exchange Share equal to the VWAP for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Closing) (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for all Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 9.3(a) shall not apply to Losses related to breaches of Fundamental Representations or Losses arising from claims for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party’s maximum aggregate liability to an Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 9.1(a)(A), Section 9.1(a)(ii)(A), or Section 9.1(b)(i), as applicable, shall not exceed an amount in United States Dollars equal to ten percent (10%) of the value of the Exchange Shares (using a value per Exchange Share equal to the VWAP for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Closing), with respect to the Significant Owners or Acquirer, as applicable, for which indemnification is sought (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the limitation set forth in this Section 9.3(b) shall not apply to Losses related to breaches of Fundamental Representations or the Losses arising from claims for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall the Significant Owners’, the Owners’, or Acquirer’s maximum aggregate liability under this Agreement for any and all Losses under any theory of recovery exceed the total value of the Exchange Shares (using a value per Exchange Share equal to the VWAP for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Closing).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for purposes of determining the amount of any Losses that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 9, and for purposes of determining whether the representations and warranties giving rise to such indemnification have been breached, each representation and warranty in this Agreement shall be read without regard and without giving effect to the term, or, as applicable, clause containing, “material”, “materiality” or similar phrases or clauses (including “Material Adverse Effect” or “material adverse effect”) contained in such representation or warranty.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party is an Owner, any claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Party shall (i) first be brought against the Escrow Fund (using a value per Escrow Share equal to the greater of (A) the VWAP for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to such payment and (B) the VWAP for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Closing), with the Escrow Fund being the sole remedy for any claims for indemnification subject to the Cap, or, in the sole discretion of Owners’ Representative, by wire transfer of all or part of the amount of any claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Party in cash in immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Acquirer, provided that if Owners’ Representative elects to pay all or part of any claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Party in cash but fails to timely pay such amount, then immediately upon Acquirer’s request Owners’ Representative shall execute any joint written authorization necessary to release the applicable number of Escrowed Shares from the Escrow Fund; and (ii) thereafter, if an insufficient number of Escrow Shares remain in the Escrow Fund, directly against the Indemnifying Parties. To the extent that Owners’ Representative satisfies the amount of any claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Party in cash as contemplated in clause (i) in the preceding sentence, then Acquirer and Owners’ Representative shall execute a joint written authorization necessary to release a pro rata number of Escrowed Shares from the Escrow Fund.

(e) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 9 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such claim. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution, or other similar agreements for any Losses. Further, each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Owner hereby waives and acknowledges that it shall not exercise or assert any right of contribution or right to indemnity or any other right or remedy against the Target Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other Liability to which such Owner may become subject under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with any of the transactions contemplated herein.

9.4 Escrow Fund.

(a) Payment of Dividends; Voting. Any dividends, interest payments, or other distributions of any kind made in respect of the Escrow Shares will be delivered promptly to Owners’ Representative for distribution to the Owners. The Owners shall be entitled to vote the Escrow Shares on any matters to come before the stockholders of the Acquirer.

(b) Distribution of Escrow Shares. If all or any portion of the Escrow Shares are to be released from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 9.4(d), then such Escrow Shares shall be released to the Owners’ Representative for distribution to the Owners. The Acquirer will take such action as may be necessary to cause such certificates to be issued in the names of the appropriate Persons. Certificates or book-entry positions representing Escrow Shares so issued that are subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws will bear a legend to that effect. No fractional shares shall be released and delivered from the Escrow Fund to the Owners’ Representative and all fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

(c) Assignability. No Escrow Shares or any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, sold, assigned or transferred, including by operation of law, by the Owners or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of any Owner, prior to the delivery to such Owner by the Owners’ Representative of the Escrow Shares by the Escrow Agent as provided herein.

(d) Release from Escrow Fund. Within five (5) business days following the twelve (12) month anniversary of Closing (the “Release Date”), the following number of Escrow Shares will be released from escrow to the Owners’ Representative: (A) the remaining number of Escrow Shares in the Escrow Fund, less (B) the number of Escrow Shares (using a value per Escrow Share equal to the greater of the (I) the VWAP for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to such payment and (II) the VWAP for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Closing) equal to the amount of any potential Losses set forth in any Direct Claim Notice or Third-Party Claim Notice delivered by the Acquirer prior to the Release Date with respect to any pending but unresolved claim for indemnification; provided that in lieu of the Escrowed Shares being retained in the Escrow Fund under clause (B) above, the Owners’ Representative may elect to deliver cash in immediately available funds equal to value of such Escrowed Shares to an escrow agent mutually agreed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Owners’ Representative and Acquirer and the Owners’ Representative shall enter into a mutually acceptable escrow agreement to hold such amount. If Owners’ Representative elects to provide cash in lieu of retaining Escrow Shares in the Escrow Fund, then upon confirmation from the escrow agent that the cash amount has been received Acquirer and Owners’ Representative shall execute a joint written authorization necessary to release the remaining Escrowed Shares from the Escrow Fund. Escrow Shares, or cash in lieu thereof, retained in escrow as a result of clause (B) in the immediately preceding sentence shall be released promptly upon resolution of the related claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article 9.

(e) Prior to the Initial Release Date and the Final Release Date, respectively and as applicable, the Acquirer and the Owners’ Representative shall issue joint instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release such number of Escrow Shares determined in accordance with this Section 9.4(d).

(f) Survival. Except for the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1 (Corporate Existence and Power), 3.2 (Authorization), 3.3 (Approvals and Consents), 3.4 (Non-Contravention), 3.5 (Capitalization), 3.20 (Intellectual Property; IT Systems), 3.26 (Employee Benefits and Compensation), 3.29 (Tax Matters), 3.30 (Environmental Laws), 3.31 (Nuclear Laws), and 3.32 (Healthcare), 3.33 (Finder’s Fees), 4.1 (Ownership of Interests; Authority), 4.2 (Approvals and Consents), 4.3 (Non-Contravention) and 4.6 (Finder’s Fees) (collectively, the “Owner Fundamental Representations”) and in Sections 5.1 (Corporate Existence and Power), 5.2 (Authorization), 5.3 (Approvals and Consents), 5.4 (Non-Contravention), 5.5 (Finder’s Fees), and 5.8 (Capitalization) (collectively, the “Acquirer Fundamental Representations” and, together with the Owner Fundamental Representations, the “Fundamental Representations”), which shall survive until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to the subject matter discussed therein (including any extensions and waivers thereof), the representations and warranties of the Owners, Acquirer, and the Merger Sub shall survive until twelve (12) months following the Closing. The indemnification to which any Indemnified Party is entitled from the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b) for Losses shall be effective so long as an Indemnified Party makes a claim for indemnification prior to the applicable Limitation Date (in which case, the applicable representations and warranties shall survive the applicable Limitation Date solely for purposes of resolving such claim, until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved). “Limitation Date” shall mean, with respect to any representation or warranty, the date on which such representation or warranty expires pursuant to this Section 9.3.

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

9.6 Exclusive Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the sole and exclusive remedy of any Acquirer Indemnitee or Owner Indemnitee, as applicable, with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Acquirer on behalf of all Acquirer Indemnitees and Owners’ Representative on behalf of all Owner Indemnitees hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9 and other than claims arising from fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct. Nothing in this Section 9.6 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 12.15 or to seek any remedy on account of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct.

(b) by either the Acquirer or the Target Company, upon written notice to the other Party, if:

(i) the Closing has not occurred by January 31, 2023 (the “Outside Closing Date”); provided, that the right to terminate under this Section 11.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of its obligations, covenants, representations or warranties has been the primary cause of the failure to consummate the transactions by the Outside Closing Date;

(ii) any Authority shall have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Order or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that neither Acquirer nor the Target Company shall have such right to terminate pursuant to this Section 11.1(b)(ii) unless, prior to such termination, such Party shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to oppose any such Order or other restraint or to have such Order or other restraint vacated or made inapplicable to the transaction contemplated hereby and otherwise has fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement;

(c) by the Acquirer, by giving written notice to the Target Company, if any of the representations or warranties of Target Company or Owners set forth in this Agreement shall not be true and correct or if Target Company or Owners have failed to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Closing) such that the condition to Closing set forth in either Section 8.2(a), Section 8.2(b), or Section 8.2(c) would not be satisfied and the breach or breaches causing such representations or warranties not to be true and correct, or the failures to perform any covenant or agreement, as applicable, is (or are) not cured or cannot be cured within the earlier of (i) thirty days after written notice thereof is delivered to the Target Company and (ii) the Outside Closing Date; provided, however, that the Acquirer’s right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(c) shall not be available if the Acquirer is also then in breach of this Agreement so as to prevent the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.4(a), Section 8.4(b), or Section 8(c) from being satisfied; or

12.2 Amendments; No Waivers; Remedies.

(a) This Agreement cannot be amended, except by a writing signed by each Party and cannot be terminated orally or by course of conduct. No provision hereof can be waived, except by a writing signed by the Party against whom such waiver is to be enforced, and any such waiver shall apply only in the particular instance in which such waiver shall have been given.

(b) Neither any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any Party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any condition. No notice to or demand on a Party shall waive or otherwise affect any obligation of that Party or impair any right of the party giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required by this Agreement. No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved Party whole with respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any other breach.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no statement herein of any right or remedy shall impair any other right or remedy stated herein or that otherwise may be available. No single or partial exercise by a Party hereto of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof.

12.3 Arm’s length bargaining; no presumption against drafter. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s-length by parties of equal bargaining strength, each represented by counsel or having had but declined the opportunity to be represented by counsel and having participated in the drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the Parties, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any Party in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Agreement or such provision.

12.4 Publicity. Except as required by Law, fiduciary duties, by court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange and except with respect to the Acquirer SEC Documents, Owners, on one hand, and Acquirer, on the other hand, agree that neither they nor their respective agents shall issue any press release or make any other public disclosure concerning the transactions contemplated hereunder without the prior approval of Acquirer and Owners’ Representative.

12.5 Expenses. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, unless otherwise specified herein.

12.6 No Assignment or Delegation. No Party may assign this Agreement or any right, interest or obligation hereunder, including by merger, consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise, without the written consent of Acquirer, on one hand, and Owners’ Representative, on the other hand. Any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be void, in addition to constituting a material breach of this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

12.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

12.8 Counterparts; facsimile signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon delivery to each Party of an executed counterpart or the earlier delivery to each Party of original, photocopied, or electronically transmitted signature pages that together (but need not individually) bear the signatures of all other Parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or by electronic transmission in .PDF format shall be effective to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

12.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the exhibits and schedules hereto and the Additional Agreements, sets forth the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements related thereto (whether written or oral), all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement may be explained or qualified by any agreement, negotiations, understanding, discussion, conduct or course of conduct or by any trade usage. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein or any Additional Agreement, there is no condition precedent to the effectiveness of any provision hereof or thereof. No Party has relied on any representation from, or warranty or agreement of, any Person in entering into this Agreement, prior hereto or contemporaneous herewith or any Additional Agreement, except those expressly stated herein or therein.

12.10 Severability. A determination by a court or other legal authority of competent jurisdiction that any provision that is not of the essence of this Agreement is legally invalid shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to substitute (or cause such court or other legal authority to substitute) for any provision so held to be invalid a valid provision, as alike in substance to such invalid provision as is lawful.

12.11 Construction of certain terms and references; captions. In this Agreement:

(a) References to particular sections and subsections, schedules, and exhibits not otherwise specified are cross-references to sections and subsections, schedules, and exhibits of this Agreement.

(b) The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and, unless the context requires otherwise, “Party” means a party signatory hereto.

If any action is required to be taken or notice is required to be given on or before a particular day which is not a Business Day, such action or notice shall be considered timely if it is taken or given on or before the next Business Day. With respect to any date or time period specified herein or in any Additional Agreement, time is of the essence.

12.13 Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof confers any benefit or right upon or may be enforced by any Person not a signatory hereto.

12.14 Owners’ Representative.

(a) By executing this Agreement or an Owner ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, each Owner hereby appoints ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ hereby consents to such appointment) as agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for each Owner for all purposes of this Agreement and the Additional Agreements, including the full power and authority on each such Owner’s behalf to (i) to give and receive notices and communications to or by the Acquirer for any purpose under this Agreement and the Additional Agreements, (ii) to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of and demand mediation and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators or other disputes arising under or related to this Agreement or the Additional Agreements, (iii) to enter into and deliver the Escrow Agreement on behalf of each of the Owners and to disburse any funds or Exchange Shares hereunder or pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, (iv) to authorize or object to delivery to the Acquirer of the Escrow Fund, or any portion thereof, in satisfaction of indemnification claims by the Acquirer in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, (v) to act on behalf of Owners in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and the Additional Agreements, the securities described herein and any other document or instrument executed in connection with the Agreement and the Transactions, (vi) to endorse and deliver any certificates or instruments of assignment as Acquirer shall reasonably request; (vii) to execute and deliver on behalf of each such Owner any amendment, waiver, ancillary agreement and documents on behalf of any Owner that the Owners’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate; and (viii) to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Owners’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which the Owners collectively are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement. The Acquirer is expressly authorized to rely on the genuineness of the signature of Owners’ Representative and, upon receipt of any writing which reasonably appears to have been signed by Owners’ Representative, Acquirer may act in good faith upon the same without any further duty of inquiry as to the genuineness of the writing.

(b) Such agency may be changed by the Owners from time to time upon no less than twenty (20) days prior written notice to the Acquirer, provided, however, that the Owners’ Representative may not be removed unless holders of at least 51% of all of the Target Company’s Equity Interests on an as-if converted basis outstanding immediately prior to the Transactions agrees to such removal. Any vacancy in the position of Owners’ Representative may be filled by approval of the holders of at least 51% of all of the Target Company’s Equity Interests on an as-if converted basis outstanding immediately prior to the Transactions. Any removal or change of the Owners’ Representative shall not be effective until written notice is delivered to Acquirer. No bond shall be required of the Owners’ Representative, and the Owners’ Representative shall not receive any compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Owners’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Owners.

(c) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Owners’ Representative shall, for all purposes hereunder, constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction of all of the Owners of the Target Company and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of the Owners. In connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and any instrument, agreement or document relating hereto or thereto, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Owners’ Representative hereunder (i) the Owners’ Representative shall incur no responsibility whatsoever to any Owners by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or in connection with the Escrow Agreement or any such other agreement, instrument or document, excepting only responsibility for any act or failure to act which represents willful misconduct, and (ii) the Owners’ Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Owners’ Representative pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Owners’ Representative to liability to any Owners. Each Owner shall severally (in accordance with their ownership percentages in the Target Company as set forth on Schedule 12.14(c)), and not jointly, indemnify the Owners’ Representative, against all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other experts’ fees and the amount of any judgment against them, of any nature whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all expense whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened or any claims whatsoever) (“Owners’ Representative Losses”), arising out of or in connection with any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Owners’ Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement (including any claim, investigation, challenge, action or proceeding or in connection with any appeal thereof, relating to the acts or omissions of the Owners’ Representative hereunder, or otherwise), in each case as such Owners’ Representative Loss is incurred or suffered. If not paid directly to the Owners’ Representative by the Owners, any such Owners’ Representative Loss may be recovered by the Owners’ Representative from the Escrow Fund otherwise distributable to the Owners pursuant to the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement at the time of distribution in accordance with written instructions delivered by the Owners’ Representative to the Escrow Agent; provided that while this section allows the Owners’ Representative to be paid from the Escrow Fund, this does not relieve the Owners from their obligation to promptly pay such Owners’ Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Owners’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise.

12.15 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

12.16 Significant Owners’ Releases. Effective as of the Closing and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Significant Owner, on his, her, or its own behalf and on behalf of its past, present or future officers, managers, partners, agents, attorneys, advisors, representatives, heirs, successors and assigns, including any receiver, any assignee for the benefit of creditors or any trustee under the United States Bankruptcy Code (each, a “Releasing Party” and, collectively, the “Releasing Parties”) hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases and forever discharges the Target Company and their respective Affiliates, successors and past, present and future assigns, trusts, trustees, owners, partners, managers, directors, officers, agents, attorneys and representatives (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from the following (collectively, the “Released Claims”): all claims, actions, causes of action, suits, debts, liabilities, obligations, sums of money, accounts, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, damages, judgments, executions, claims and demands arising out of, relating to or in any way connected with the Target Company or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (without limitation) all claims related to any Releasing Party’s ownership or purported ownership in the Target Company or any actual or promised grants of any of the foregoing, any Releasing Party’s relationship with any of the Target Company and all claims related to the payment amounts set forth herein, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, absolute or contingent, direct or indirect or nominally or beneficially possessed or claimed by a Releasing Party, whether the same be in administrative proceedings, in arbitration or admiralty, at law, in equity or mixed, which such Releasing Party ever had or now has against the Released Parties (or any of them), in respect of any and all agreements, liabilities or obligations entered into or incurred on or prior to the Closing Date, or in respect of any event occurring or circumstances existing on or prior to the Closing Date, whether or not relating to claims or circumstances existing on or prior to the Closing Date, whether or not relating to claims pending on, or asserted after, the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Released Claims shall not include any rights and claims arising under this Agreement or any Additional Agreement. Each of the Releasing Parties acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those that such Releasing Party now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of this release, but it is such Releasing Parties’ intention to fully and finally and forever settle and release any and all Released Claims, respectively, that do now exist, may exist or heretofore have existed with respect to the subject matter of this release. In furtherance of this intention, the releases contained in this Section 12.16 shall be and remain in effect as full and complete general releases notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different facts.

12.17 Spousal Consent. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement or an Owner Joinder, as applicable, each Owner shall deliver to Acquirer a spousal consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D executed by his spouse.

12.18 Supplement to Schedules. From time to time prior to the Closing, but in no event later than October 11, 2022 (the “Supplement Cutoff Date”), the Acquirer, the Target Company, and the Owners shall have the right (but not the obligation, except in the case of the delivery of the audited financial statements of the Target Company as of and for the fiscal years ended 2020 and 2021, consisting of the audited balance sheets as of such dates, the audited income statements for the periods then-ended, the audited cash flow statements for the periods then-ended and the corresponding notes to such financial statements, which the Target Company shall be obligated to deliver prior to the Supplement Cutoff Date) to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules with respect to any matter hereafter arising or of which it becomes aware after the date hereof (each, a “Schedule Supplement”). Any disclosure in any such Schedule Supplement shall not be deemed to have cured any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, including for purposes of indemnification or termination rights contained in this Agreement or of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Article 8 have been satisfied; provided, however, that if, hereunder, the Acquirer has the right to, but does not timely and properly elect to, terminate this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of such Schedule Supplement, then the Acquirer or the Target Company and Owners, as applicable, shall be deemed to have waived any right to terminate this Agreement with respect to such matter and, further, shall have waived its right to indemnification under Section 9.1 with respect to such matter.

Execution Version

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AND LOCK‑UP AGREEMENT

THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AND LOCK‑UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [●], 2022, is made and entered into by and among (i) Isoray, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), (ii) each of the Persons listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Schedule of Holders”) as of the date hereof, and (iii) each of the other Persons set forth from time to time on the Schedule of Holders who, at any time, own securities of the Company and enter into a joinder to this Agreement agreeing to be bound by the terms hereof (each Person identified in the foregoing (ii) and (iii), a “Holder” and, collectively, the “Holders”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company, Viewpoint Molecular Targeting, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Viewpoint”) and Isoray Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 27, 2022 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub shall merge with and into Viewpoint (the “Merger”), with Viewpoint surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company; and

WHEREAS, the equityholders of Viewpoint will receive unregistered shares of Common Stock of the Company which shares will be restricted and the Holders desire to register the restricted shares of Common Stock they will receive pursuant to the Merger and the Company desires to have the Holders enter into a lock-up agreement to restrict the trading of the Common Stock they receive from the Company for a prescribed period of time.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, covenants and agreements contained herein, and certain other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Resale Shelf Registration Rights.

(a) Registration Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities. The Company shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission, no later than thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement (the “Filing Deadline”), a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the holders of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Registration Rights Holders (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S‑3 (“Form S‑3”) or, if Form S‑3 is not then available to the Company, on Form S‑1 or such other appropriate form permitting Registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Registration Rights Holders. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, but in no event later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days following the Filing Deadline or (ii) ten (10) Business Days after the Commission notifies the Company that it will not review the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, if applicable (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by no more than ninety (90) days after the Filing Deadline if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and receives comments from, the Commission. Once effective, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and shall cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration Statement is available, under the Securities Act at all times until such date as all Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Registration Rights Holders (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Registration Rights Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement (subject to lock‑up restrictions provided in this Agreement), and shall provide that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Registration Rights Holders.

(b) Notification and Distribution of Materials. The Company shall notify the Registration Rights Holders in writing of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as soon as practicable, and in any event within one (1) Business Day after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other documents as the Registration Rights Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement.

(c) Amendments and Supplements. Subject to the provisions of Section 1(a) above, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period. If any Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 1(a) is filed on Form S‑3 and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S‑3 for secondary sales, the Company shall promptly notify the Registration Rights Holders of such ineligibility and shall file a shelf registration on Form S‑1 or other appropriate form as promptly as practicable to replace the shelf registration statement on Form S‑3 and use its reasonable best efforts to have such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and shall cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Registration Rights Holders during the Effectiveness Period; provided, however, that at any time the Company once again becomes eligible to use Form S‑3, the Company shall cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is once again on Form S‑3.

(d) Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 1, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof and shall file amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), on Form S‑3, or if Form S‑3 is not then available to the Company for such registration statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly‑available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”), including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Registration Rights Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Registration Rights Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Registration Rights Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Registration Rights Holders. In the event the Company amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company shall file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S‑3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.

(e) Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.

2. Demand Registrations.

(a) Requests for Registration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an Effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities, the holders of Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S‑3 (including a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) or any similar short‑form registration statement, including an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405) (an “Automatic Shelf Registration Statement”), if available to the Company (“Short‑Form Registrations”) in accordance with Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) below (such holders being referred to herein as the “Initiating Holders” and all registrations requested by the Initiating Holders being referred to herein as “Demand Registrations”). Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the intended method of distribution. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, shall include in such registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the notice of Demand Registration and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice of Demand Registration without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement. Each of the Registration Rights Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Short‑Form Registrations, in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses whether or not any such Short‑Form Registration has become effective; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Short‑Form Registration: (i) if the holders of Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Short‑Form Registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities with an aggregate market price at the time of request of less than $5,000,000, or (ii) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) Short‑Form Registrations for the holders of Registrable Securities requesting a Short‑Form Registration pursuant to this Section 2(c). Demand Registrations shall be Short‑Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form registration and if the managing underwriters (if any) agree to the use of a Short‑Form Registration. For so long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make Short‑Form Registrations available for the offer and sale of Registrable Securities. If the Company is qualified to and, pursuant to the request of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities or the Initiating Holder(s), as applicable, has filed with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S‑3 pursuant to Rule 415 (a “Shelf Registration”), then the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after filing, and, if the Company is a WKSI at the time of any such request, to cause such Shelf Registration to be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, and once effective, the Company shall cause such Shelf Registration to remain effective (including by filing a new Shelf Registration, if necessary) for a period ending on the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such registration have been sold or distributed pursuant to the Shelf Registration. If for any reason the Company ceases to be a WKSI or becomes ineligible to utilize Form S‑3, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement or registration statements on such form that is available for the sale of Registrable Securities.

(b) Long‑Form Registrations. If a Short-Form Registration is not available, then the Registration Rights Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities may request one registration on Form S-1 or any similar long form registration statement (a “Long-Form Registration”) in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses whether or not any such Long‑Form Registration has become effective; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any Long‑Form Registration unless the aggregate market price of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Long‑Form Registration exceeds $25,000,000 at the time of request. A registration shall not count as a permitted Long‑Form Registration until it has become effective and unless the holders of Registrable Securities are able to register and sell at least 90% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration; provided that in any event the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Long‑Form Registration whether or not it has become effective.

(c) Shelf Takedowns. At any time when the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration for the sale or distribution by holders of Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, including by way of an underwritten offering, block sale or other distribution plan (each, a “Resale Shelf Registration”) is effective and its use has not been otherwise suspended by the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 2(f) below, upon a written demand (a “Takedown Demand”) by any Registration Rights Holder that is, in either case, a Shelf Participant holding Registrable Securities at such time (the “Initiating Holder”), the Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement a “takedown” of Registrable Securities off of such Resale Shelf Registration (a “takedown offering”) and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith; provided that the Company will provide in connection with any marketed underwritten takedown offering, at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of such Takedown Demand to each holder of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder) that is a Shelf Participant. In connection with any marketed underwritten takedown offering, if any Shelf Participants entitled to receive a notice pursuant to the preceding sentence request inclusion of their Registrable Securities (by notice to the Company, which notice must be received by the Company no later than five (5) Business Days following the date notice is given to such participant), the Initiating Holder and the other Shelf Participants that request inclusion of their Registrable Securities shall be entitled to sell their Registrable Securities in such offering. Each holder of Registrable Securities that is a Shelf Participant agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the notice of a Takedown Demand and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Priority on Demand Registrations and Takedown Offerings. The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration that is an underwritten offering any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the managing underwriters and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding. If a Demand Registration or a takedown offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities held by Initiating Holders, the Company shall include in such offering prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable Securities the maximum number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (if necessary, allocated pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder).

(e) Restrictions on Demand Registrations and Takedown Offerings. Any demand for the filing of a registration statement or for a registered offering (including a takedown offering) hereunder will be subject to the constraints of any applicable lock‑up arrangements, and any such demand must be deferred until such lock‑up arrangements no longer apply.

(i) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within 30 days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of an underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities and for such a period of time after such a filing as the managing underwriters request, provided that such period shall not exceed 90 days from the effective date of any such underwritten public offering. The Company may postpone, for up to 60 days from the date of the request (the “Suspension Period”), the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration or suspend the use of a prospectus that is part of any Resale Shelf Registration (and therefore suspend sales of the Registrable Securities included therein) by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities if the board of directors of the Company reasonably determines in good faith that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any subsidiary thereof to engage in any material acquisition or disposition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction or would require the Company to disclose any material nonpublic information which would reasonably be likely to be detrimental to the Company and its subsidiaries; provided that in such event, the holders of Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration or Takedown Demand shall be entitled to withdraw such request. The Company may delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Demand Registration or takedown offering pursuant to this Section 2(f)(i) only twice in any consecutive twelve‑month period; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may in any event delay or suspend the effectiveness of any Demand Registration or takedown offering in the case of an event described under Section 5(g) to enable it to comply with its obligations set forth in Section 5(g). The Company may extend the Suspension Period for an additional consecutive 30 days with the consent of the Applicable Approving Party; provided further that under no circumstances shall the aggregate Suspension Periods during any consecutive twelve‑month period exceed 90 days.

(ii) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of any Resale Shelf Registration as set forth in Section 2(e)(i) or pursuant to Section 5(g) (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall give a notice to the holders of Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and such notice shall state generally the basis for the notice and that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. A holder of Registrable Securities shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Resale Shelf Registration (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees that such holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Suspension Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by such holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The holders of Registrable Securities may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the holders of Registrable Securities and to such holders’ counsel, if any, promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event (it being understood that, in the case of a Suspension Event pursuant to Section 2(e)(i), such Suspension Event shall automatically end, with or without delivery of an End of Suspension Notice, if the Suspension Period thereof pursuant to such Section 2(e)(i) shall have expired).

(iii) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall give a Suspension Notice with respect to any Resale Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 2(e), the Company agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which such Resale Shelf Registration shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the holders of the End of Suspension Notice and provide copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, with respect to each Suspension Event; provided that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that Common Stock covered by such Resale Shelf Registration are no longer Registrable Securities.

(f) Selection of Underwriters. In connection with any Demand Registration, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering; provided that such selection shall be subject to the written consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If any takedown offering is an underwritten offering, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer such takedown offering. In each case, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to approve the underwriting arrangements with such investment banker(s) and manager(s) on behalf of all holders of Registrable Securities participating in such offering. All Registration Rights Holders proposing to distribute their securities through underwriting shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.

(g) Participation in Registrations. No Holder may participate in any Registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (i) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements (which agreements do not take away or restrict rights of such Person hereunder in any material respects or increase such Person’s liabilities in any material respects) and provides such reasonable written information concerning itself as may be required for registration, including for inclusion in any registration statement.

(h) Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants to each holder of Registrable Securities that the registration rights granted in this Agreement do not conflict with any other registration rights granted by the Company. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any Persons the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company, or any securities, options or rights convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding.

(i) Revocation of Demand Notice or Takedown Notice. At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to a Demand Registration or the “pricing” of any offering relating to a Takedown Demand, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities or the Initiating Holder(s), as applicable, that requested such Demand Registration or takedown offering may revoke such request for a Demand Registration or takedown offering on behalf of all holders of Registrable Securities participating in such Demand Registration or takedown offering without liability to such holders of Registrable Securities, in each case by providing written notice to the Company.

3. Piggyback Registrations.

(a) Right to Piggyback. If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an Effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than (i) pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) pursuant to a Demand Registration, (iii) pursuant to a Takedown Demand, (iv) in connection with registrations on Form S‑4 or S‑8 promulgated by the Commission or any successor forms, (v) a registration relating solely to employment benefit plans, (vi) in connection with a registration the primary purpose of which is to register debt securities, or (vii) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a Piggyback Registration and, subject to the terms of Sections 3(c) and 3(d) hereof, shall include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 10 business days after the delivery of the Company’s notice; provided that any such other holder may withdraw its request for inclusion at any time prior to executing the underwriting agreement or, if none, prior to the applicable registration statement becoming effective.

(b) Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not any such registration became effective.

(c) Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Registration Rights Holders which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect (pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder), and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect.

(d) Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities other than holders of Registrable Securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number of securities which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders initially requesting such registration, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Registration Rights Holders which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect (pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder), and (iii) third, if all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in Section 3(c)(ii) above are included, then other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect.

(e) Other Registrations. If during the Effectiveness Period, the Company has previously filed a registration statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or pursuant to this Section 3, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, then the Company shall not be required to file or cause to be effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the Securities Act (except on Form S‑8 or any successor form) at the request of any holder or holders of such securities until a period of at least 90 days has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration.

(f) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 3 whether or not any holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 7.

4. Agreements of Holders.

(a) If required by the Applicable Approving Party or the managing underwriter, in connection with any underwritten Public Offering on or after the date hereof, each holder of 5% or more of the outstanding Registrable Securities shall enter into lock-up agreements with the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten Public Offering in such form as agreed to by the Applicable Approving Party; provided that the applicable lock-up period shall not exceed 90 days.

(b) The holders of Registrable Securities shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company, or the managing underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3 and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws.

5. Registration Procedures. In connection with the Registration to be effected pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, and whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement or have initiated a takedown offering, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) prepare in accordance with the Securities Act and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and file with the Commission a registration statement, and all amendments and supplements thereto and related prospectuses as may be necessary to comply with applicable securities laws, with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective (provided that at least three (3) Business Days before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to counsel selected by the Applicable Approving Party copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of such counsel);

(b) notify each holder of Registrable Securities of (A) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (B) the receipt by the Company or its counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (C) the effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder;

(c) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period ending when all of the securities covered by such registration statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement (but not in any event before the expiration of any longer period required under the Securities Act or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten Public Offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sale of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer) and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;

(d) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities thereunder such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus), each Free‑Writing Prospectus and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller;

(e) during any period in which a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, promptly file all documents required to be filed with the Commission, including pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Act;

(f) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the lead underwriter or the Applicable Approving Party reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 4(f), (ii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction);

(g) promptly notify in writing each seller of such Registrable Securities (i) after it receives notice thereof, of the date and time when such registration statement and each post‑effective amendment thereto has become effective or a prospectus or supplement to any prospectus relating to a registration statement has been filed and when any registration or qualification has become effective under a state securities or blue sky law or any exemption thereunder has been obtained, (ii) after receipt thereof, of any request by the Commission for the amendment or supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus or for additional information, and (iii) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company promptly shall prepare, file with the Commission and furnish to each such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(h) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on a securities exchange and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market makers to register as such with respect to such Registrable Securities with FINRA;

(i) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(j) enter into and perform such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the Applicable Approving Party or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares and preparing for and participating in such number of “road shows”, investor presentations and marketing events as the underwriters managing such offering may reasonably request);

(k) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate and business documents and properties of the Company as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, managers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;

(l) take all reasonable actions to ensure that any Free‑Writing Prospectus utilized in connection with any Demand Registration (including any Shelf Registration) or Piggyback Registration hereunder complies in all material respects with the Securities Act, is filed in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby, is retained in accordance with the Securities Act to the extent required thereby and, when taken together with the related prospectus, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(m) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission;

(n) permit any holder of Registrable Securities who, in its good faith judgment (based on the advice of counsel), could reasonably be expected to be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling Person of the Company to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included;

(o) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Common Stock included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;

(p) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(q) cooperate with the holders of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter, or agent, if any, or such holders may request;

(r) cooperate with each holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA;

(s) if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain a cold comfort letter from the Company’s independent public accountants and addressed to the underwriters, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the underwriters in such registration reasonably request;

(t) provide a legal opinion of the Company’s outside counsel, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten Public Offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), with respect to the registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature, which opinion shall be addressed to the underwriters;

(u) if the Company files an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering any Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to remain a WKSI (and not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405)) during the period during which such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is required to remain effective;

(v) if the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is filed, pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold; and

(w) subject to the terms of Section 2(c) and Section 2(d), if an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three (3) years, at the end of the third year, refile a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities, and, if at any time when the Company is required to re‑evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, use its reasonable best efforts to refile the registration statement on Form S‑3 and keep such registration statement effective (including by filing a new Resale Shelf Registration or Shelf Registration, if necessary) during the period throughout which such registration statement is required to be kept effective.

6. Registration Expenses.

(a) All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all registration, qualification and filing fees, listing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, stock exchange rules and filings, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions) and other Persons retained by the Company (all such expenses being herein called “Registration Expenses”), shall be borne by the Company as provided in this Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company also shall pay all of its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed. Each Person that sells securities pursuant to a Demand Registration, a Takedown Demand or Piggyback Registration hereunder shall bear and pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes applicable to the securities sold for such Person’s account.

(b) the Company shall reimburse the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel and one local counsel (if necessary) chosen by the Applicable Approving Party for the purpose of rendering a legal opinion on behalf of such holders in connection with any underwritten Demand Registration, takedown offering or Piggyback Registration, such fees not to exceed $25,000.

(c) To the extent Registration Expenses are not required to be paid by the Company, each holder of securities included in any registration hereunder shall pay those Registration Expenses allocable to the registration of such holder’s securities so included, and any Registration Expenses not so allocable shall be borne by all sellers of securities included in such registration in proportion to the aggregate selling price of the securities to be so registered.

7. Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to (i) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Registration Rights Holder and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, agents, affiliates and employees and each Person who controls such Registration Rights Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by (A) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (B) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and (ii) pay to each Registration Rights Holder and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, agents, affiliates and employees and each Person who controls such Registration Rights Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), as incurred, any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company or any managing underwriter by such Registration Rights Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action to the extent that it solely arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement or omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the registration statement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Registration Rights Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration statement. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify any underwriters or deemed underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.

(b) In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such holder; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (as well as one local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration, at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Sections 8(a) or 8(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each 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, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 7(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided in Section 7(c), defending any such action or claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The sellers’ obligations in this Section 7(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the amount of securities registered by them and not joint and shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration.

(e) The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

8. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to any over‑allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such holder has requested to include) and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, stock powers, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder, such holder’s title to the securities, such Person’s authority to sell such securities and such holder’s intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto that are materially more burdensome than those provided in Section 8. Each holder of Registrable Securities shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with such holder’s obligations under Section 4, Section 5 and this Section 8 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. To the extent that any such agreement is entered into pursuant to, and consistent with, Section 4 and this Section 8, the respective rights and obligations created under such agreement shall supersede the respective rights and obligations of the holders, the Company and the underwriters created pursuant to this Section 8.

9. Other Agreements; Certain Limitations on Registration Rights. The Company shall file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and shall take such further action as the Registration Rights Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable such Persons to sell securities pursuant to (a) Rule 144 adopted by the Commission under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission or (b) a registration statement on Form S‑3 or any similar registration form hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon request, the Company shall deliver to the Registration Rights Holders a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. The Company shall at all times use its reasonable best efforts to cause the securities so registered to continue to be listed on one or more of the New York Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange American and the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company shall use its best efforts to facilitate and expedite transfers of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, which efforts shall include timely notice to its transfer agent to expedite such transfers of Registrable Securities and delivery of any opinions requested by the transfer agent.

10. Lock‑Up Provisions.

(a) Each Lock‑Up Holder agrees that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Common Stock until the earlier of (i) six months or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property (the “Common Stock Lock‑Up Period”).

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 10(a), Transfers of shares of Common Stock (collectively, “Restricted Securities”) that are held by the Lock‑Up Holders or any of their Permitted Transferees (that have complied with this Section 10), are permitted (i) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliate of such Lock‑Up Holder or any member of such Lock‑Up Holder; (ii) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of such individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such individual or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; or (v) in the case of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other entity, transfers to its stockholders, members, partners or trust beneficiaries as part of a distribution, or to any corporation, partnership or other entity that is its affiliate, (vi) by virtue of the laws of the State of Delaware or a Lock‑Up Holder’s organizational documents upon dissolution of such Lock‑Up Holder (each such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, however, that, in each case, any such Permitted Transferees must enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions herein in this Section 10(b) and the other restrictions contained in this Agreement.

(c) If any Transfer not permitted under this Section 10 is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 10(c), the Company may impose stop‑transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities of a Holder (and Permitted Transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the applicable Lock‑Up Period.

(d) During the Lock‑Up Period, each certificate or book‑entry position evidencing any Restricted Securities held by a Lock‑Up Holder shall be marked with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A REGISTRATION RIGHTS AND LOCK‑UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [●], 2022, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES.

(b) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions among the parties hereto, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(c) Remedies. Any Person having rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, any party shall be entitled to specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration Statement filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person.

A Holder may assign or delegate such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to (a) a Permitted Transferee of such Holder, or (b) any Person with the prior written consent of the Company. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or benefits on any persons that are not parties hereto, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. No assignment by any party hereto of such party’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate the Company unless and until the Company shall have received (i) written notice of such assignment as provided in this Section 12(f) and (ii) the written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in this Section 12(f) shall be null and void.

(g) All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not.

(h) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition, invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.

(i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

(j) Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement. The use of the word “including” herein shall mean “including without limitation.”

(k) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any Delaware Chancery Court, or if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.

(l) Notices. All notices, demands or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by telecopy or email or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to each Holder at the address indicated on the Schedule of Holders attached hereto and to the Company at the address indicated below (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 12(l)):

I am aware that the legal, financial and related matters contained in the Joinder Agreement and Merger Agreement are complex and that I am free to seek independent professional guidance or counsel with respect to this Consent.
