Within 30 days following the closing of a merger or other business combination with an operating business (a “Merger”) or any other event pursuant to which the Company ceases to be a “shell company,” as defined by Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act and a “blank check company,” as defined by Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act (an “Event”), we agree to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 (or another available form) under the Securities Act (the “Registration Statement”), covering the resale of the Shares.

3.  
Piggyback Registration.

(a) If the Company at any time (other than pursuant to Sections 2 or 4 hereof) proposes to effect a registration of any of its securities pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both (except with respect to an initial public offering (“IPO”), registration statements on Forms S-4 and S-8 and any similar successor forms thereto, and/or registrations on Form S-3 relating solely to dividend or interest reinvestment plans) (a “Piggyback Registration”), each such time it shall give prompt written notice to such effect to all holders of outstanding Registrable Securities at least forty-five (45) days prior to such filing. Upon the written request of any such holder, received by the Company within twenty (20) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, the Company will, subject to Section 3(b) hereof, cause all Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included in the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent requisite to permit the sale or other disposition by the holder of such Registrable Securities on the same terms and conditions as the other shares of Common Stock included in such registration statement (the “Piggyback Registration Statement”).

2
(b) The Company shall automatically include in such Piggyback Registration Statement all Registrable Securities for resale and offer on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415; provided, however, that (i) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company determines for any reason not to proceed with such registration, the Company will be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, (ii) in case of a determination by the Company to delay registration of its securities, the Company will be permitted to delay the registration of Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities, (iii) each Investor is subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to any information gained in this process or any other material non-public information he, she or it obtains, (iv) each Investor is subject to all applicable laws relating to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or similar restrictions; and (v) if all of the Registrable Securities of the Investor cannot be so included due to Commission Comments, then the Company may reduce the number of the Investor’s Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to the maximum number which would enable the Company to conduct such offering in accordance with the provisions of Rule 415. The Investor shall be entitled to include all Registrable Securities for resale in the Piggyback Registration Statement filed by the Company in connection with a public offering of equity securities by the Company after the date of this Agreement, pursuant to Rule 415, so long as (1) such shares shall not be included as part of the underwritten offering of primary shares by the Company, unless the Company and underwriter agree to allow the inclusion of such Registrable Securities as part of the underwritten offering and, in such event, the Investor elects to include the Registrable Securities in the underwriting subject to an allocation among all holders of registration rights in the manner set forth in Section 3(d) hereof, (2) the underwriter approves the inclusion of such Registrable Securities in such Initial Registration Statement, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights, (3) the Investor shall enter into the underwriters’ form of lockup agreement as and to the extent requested by the underwriters, which may require that all of the Registrable Securities held by the Investor not be sold or otherwise transferred without the consent of the underwriters for a period not to exceed 180 days from the closing of the offering contemplated by the Initial Registration Statement, and (4) if all of the Registrable Securities of the Investor cannot be so included due to Commission Comments, then the Company may reduce the number of the Investor’s Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to the maximum number which would enable the Company to conduct such offering in accordance with the provisions of Rule 415. The Company shall cause any Registration Statement filed under this Section 3(b) to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof and shall keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act during the Effectiveness Period. By 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the business day immediately following the Effective Date of such Registration Statement, the Company shall file with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final Prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement (whether or not such filing is technically required under such Rule).
 
(c) In the event that any Piggyback Registration shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of Common Stock and the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and/or other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of shares which can be sold without materially adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, then the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration statement shall be reduced, pro rata among the requesting holders, based upon the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered by them; provided, that for all registrations other than an IPO, the shares of Registrable Securities shall not be reduced until all shares of Common Stock for the account of any person other than the Company and its assigns, or requesting holders of Registrable Securities are first reduced. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company will include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities and/or other securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata from among the holders of Registrable Securities, according to the number of Registrable Securities and/or other securities requested by them to be so included.

(d) In the event that all Registrable Securities cannot be included in a Registration Statement or a Piggyback Registration Statement under Sections 2 or 3 hereof due to Commission Comments, then the Company, unless otherwise prohibited by the SEC, shall cause the Registrable Securities of the Stockholder to be included in such Registration Statement to be reduced pro rata based on the number of registrable securities held by all holders of registration rights.

4. Registration; Holdback Agreement; Power of Attorney. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to file a registration statement pursuant to Sections 2 or 4 hereof (i) which would become effective within 120 days following the effective date of a registration statement (other than a registration statement filed on Form S-4 or S-8) filed by the Company with the SEC pertaining to any subsequent public offering for the account of the Company or another holder of securities of the Company if the holder(s) of Registrable Securities were afforded the opportunity, subject to the underwriter’s cut-back, to include all of its Registrable Securities in such subsequent registration pursuant to Section 3 hereof or (ii) during the period which would violate any restriction or prohibition reasonably requested by any managing underwriter(s) for a public offering.

(b)  Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints Antti William Uusiheimala (“Attorney”) to act as his or its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, in his sole discretion to effect any changes to, or elimination of, the rights of Stockholders herein.

(g) immediately notify each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter under such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing and promptly amend or supplement such registration statement to correct any such untrue statement or omission;

(h) notify each seller of Registrable Securities of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose and make every reasonable effort to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible time;

(i) permit a single firm of counsel designated as selling stockholders’ counsel by the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities and all other securities being registered to review the registration statement and all amendments and supplements thereto for a reasonable period of time prior to their filing, and the Company shall not file any document in a form to which such counsel reasonably objects;

(k) make available for inspection by each seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement, unless such requested information contains material nonpublic information, in which case no such material nonpublic information shall be supplied other than pursuant to a mutual confidentiality agreement;

5
(l) provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement;

All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, listing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., reasonable fees of transfer agents and registrars, costs of insurance, and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the sellers of Registrable Securities designated pursuant to Section 5(i) and all other securities being registered, but excluding any Selling Expenses, are called “Registration Expenses.” All underwriting discounts, selling commissions, fees and expenses of counsel (other than the one counsel selected to represent the selling stockholders as set forth in Section 5(i) hereof) and stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities are called “Selling Expenses.”

The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each Registration Statement filed hereunder. All Selling Expenses in connection with each Registration Statement shall be borne by the participating sellers in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sold by each or as they may otherwise agree.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each seller of Registrable Securities, each underwriter of Registrable Securities and each other person, if any, who controls such seller or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against, and pay or reimburse them for, any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such seller, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant hereto, any preliminary prospectus (unless superseded by a final prospectus) or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in any such registration statement a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or, with respect to any prospectus, necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation of the Securities Act or any state securities or blue sky laws applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required by the Company and will reimburse each such seller, each such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof); provided, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon the Company’s reliance on an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such seller, any such underwriter or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in such registration statement or prospectus, which untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is completely corrected in an amendment or supplement to the registration statement or prospectus and such seller or such controlling person thereafter fails to deliver or cause to be delivered such registration statement or prospectus as so amended or supplemented prior to or concurrently with the Registrable Securities to the person asserting such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) or expense after the Company has furnished such seller or such controlling person with the same.

6
(b) Each seller of such Registrable Securities thereunder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company and each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act from and against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant hereto, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that such seller will be liable hereunder in any such case only if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such seller furnished in writing to the Company by such seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus; and provided, further, that the liability of each seller hereunder shall be limited to the proportion that the public offering price of the Registrable Securities sold by such seller under such registration statement bears to the total public offering price of all securities sold thereunder, but in any event not to exceed the proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity provided in this Section 7(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense if such settlement is effected without the consent of such indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action or claim, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 7 and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 7 if and to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.

7
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any holder of Registrable Securities exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of any such holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 7 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling holder, any such controlling person or the Company in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 7, then, and in each such case, the Company and such holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that such holder is responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its Registrable Securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement, and the Company is responsible for the remaining portion; provided, that, in any such case (A) no such holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered by it pursuant to such registration statement, and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

8. Changes in Capital Stock. If, and as often as, there is any change in the capital stock of the Company by way of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through a merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions hereof so that the rights and privileges granted hereby shall continue with respect to the capital stock as so changed.

9. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, at all times after 90 days after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act ; and

(c) furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of such Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing such holder to sell any Registrable Securities without registration.

10. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Stockholders as follows:
