Limited, “BioLexis”) and the Shareholder are party to that certain Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of September 11, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the “Existing Investor Rights Agreement”) with respect to BioLexis’s and the Shareholder’s ownership of the Capital Stock (as defined below);

WHEREAS, the Shareholder and BioLexis are effecting a restructuring pursuant to which all of the shares of Capital Stock that are owned by BioLexis for the benefit of Affiliates of the Shareholder are being transferred to the Shareholder, and the Shareholder and its Affiliates will cease to own any interest in BioLexis;

(a) The Shareholder may freely Transfer any Common Shares to any Person, subject to compliance with applicable Law.

Article II
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.1 Demand Registration.

(a) The Shareholder may, by providing written notice (a “Demand Registration Request”) to the Company, request to sell all or a portion of the Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by the Shareholder and the Affiliate Shareholders, as applicable, pursuant to a Registration Statement in the manner specified in such notice (a “Demand Registration”). Each Demand Registration Request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be offered and sold pursuant to the Demand Registration and the intended method of disposition thereof, including whether the registration requested is for an underwritten offering. A Demand Registration shall be effected by way of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration to the extent the Company is permitted to use such form at such time (or to the extent the Company is not permitted to use such form, on Form S-1 or a similar long-form registration). A Demand Registration may be, at the option of the Shareholder, (i) a request to file a Registration Statement (including a Shelf Registration Statement) which will be used to offer the Registrable Securities, or (ii) a request to provide a prospectus supplement for an already effective Registration Statement. If the Company is then ASR Eligible, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be an ASRS containing a Prospectus naming the Shareholder as the selling shareholder and registering the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Shareholder on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Registration Statement (or prospectus supplement, as applicable) relating to a Demand Registration (A) to be filed with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt of the Demand Registration Request, and in no event more than ten (10) days after receipt of a Demand Registration Request and all necessary information regarding the Shareholder that is required to be included in such Registration Statement (or prospectus supplement, as applicable) provided pursuant to Section 2.10, (B) to be declared effective by the SEC or otherwise become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof and (C) to remain continuously effective during the Effectiveness Period.

(b) The Shareholder shall have the right to request up to a total of two (2) Demand Registrations in any twelve (12)-month period pursuant to this Section 2.1; provided, that such obligation shall be deemed satisfied (and such request shall count as one Demand Registration Request for the Shareholder) only when a Registration Statement covering all the Registrable Securities specified in the Demand Registration Request shall have become effective and (i) if the method of disposition thereof is a firm commitment Public Offering, all of such Registrable Securities requested to be sold, after giving effect to any Underwriter Cutback (described in Section 2.1(e)), shall have been sold pursuant thereto, and (ii) in any other case, such Registration Statement shall have remained effective for the Effectiveness Period. The Shareholder may revoke a request for a Demand Registration by notifying the Company prior to the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement or the filing of any prospectus supplement with respect to any particular underwritten offering; provided that such request shall count as one of the Shareholder’s requests for a Demand Registration unless the Shareholder (A) provides such notice of revocation (x) within five (5) Business Days after requesting such Demand Registration, or (y) pursuant to Section 2.4(c) as a result of a Notice of Suspension, or (B) reimburses the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Registration Expenses) actually incurred by the Company relating to such Demand Registration.

(c) If a Demand Registration is a Public Offering, the Shareholder shall have the right to select the investment banking firm(s) to act as the managing underwriter(s) and counsel for the Shareholder in connection with such offering (including in any underwritten offering under a Shelf Registration Statement or any Underwritten Block Trade).

(d) In no event shall any Person, including the Company or any other holder of Capital Stock (other than the Shareholder), be entitled to include any securities of the Company in any Registration Statement or offering requested pursuant to this Section 2.1 without the prior written consent of the Shareholder. In the event the managing underwriter shall be of the opinion that the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in a Public Offering pursuant to a Demand Registration Request would adversely affect the marketing of such offering (including the price at which the securities of the Company may be sold), then the number of securities of the Company to be included in such underwritten offering will be reduced (an “Underwriter Cutback”), with the securities of the Company to be included in such offering based on the following priority: (i) first, the number of Shares of Common Stock requested to be included on behalf of the Shareholder up to the number that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, would not adversely affect the marketing of the offering (including the price at which the Shares of Common Stock may be sold); and (ii) second, in addition to the Shares of Common Stock included pursuant to the preceding clause (i), the number of the securities of the Company requested to be included, with the prior written permission of the Shareholder, on behalf of each participating Person up to the number that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, would not adversely affect the marketing of the offering (including the price at which the securities of the Company (including the Shares of Common Stock) may be sold). The Company may not file a Registration Statement or commence an offering of securities on behalf of any of the other holders of Capital Stock until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period of a Demand Registration.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, but subject to Section 2.4, if the Shareholder wishes to engage in an underwritten block trade or similar transaction or other transaction with a one-day or less marketing period, including overnight bought deals (collectively, an “Underwritten Block Trade”), pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement (either through filing an ASRS or through a take-down from an already effective Shelf Registration Statement), then notwithstanding any other time periods in this Article II, the Shareholder shall notify the Company of the Underwritten Block Trade three (3) Business Days prior to the date such Underwritten Block Trade is to commence. As expeditiously as possible, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Underwritten Block Trade (which may close as early as three (3) Business Days after the date it commences). The Shareholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and the underwriters (including by disclosing the maximum number of Shares of Common Stock proposed to be the subject of such Underwritten Block Trade) in order to facilitate preparation of the Registration Statement (including filing of an ASRS), Prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Underwritten Block Trade.

Section 2.2 Piggyback Registration.

(a) If the Company at any time following the date hereof proposes to file a registration statement or conduct a securities offering other than pursuant to this Agreement, including an Underwritten Block Trade, off an already filed Shelf Registration Statement using a prospectus supplement (such registration statement or prospectus supplement, a “Primary Registration Statement”) for the primary sale of any securities of the Company (except with respect to registration statements on Form X-0, Xxxx X-0 or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public), it will give prompt written notice thereof to the Shareholder of its intention to do so (such notice to be given not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Primary Registration Statement). The Shareholder, to the extent it still holds any Registrable Securities, shall within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice indicate to the Company if it wishes to participate in the offering contemplated by the Primary Registration Statement and, if so, the number of Registrable Securities it wishes to offer and sell. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities as to which inclusion shall have been so requested to be included in the Primary Registration Statement. The Shareholder shall be entitled to sell the Registrable Securities included in a Primary Registration Statement in accordance with the method of distribution requested by it; provided that, if the Primary Registration Statement relates to an underwritten offering, then (i) the Company shall be entitled to select the underwriters in its sole discretion and (ii) the Shareholder must sell all Registrable Securities included on the Primary Registration Statement in such underwritten offering pursuant to an underwriting agreement containing terms and conditions that are customary for secondary offerings. In the event that an Underwriter Cutback is required in the view of the managing underwriter, then the securities of the Company to be included in such underwritten offering will be based on the following priority: (A) first, the number of securities that the Company seeks to include in the offering, up to the number that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, would not adversely affect the marketing of the offering (including the price at which such securities of the Company may be sold); (B) second, in addition to the securities of the Company included pursuant to the preceding clause (A), the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by or on behalf of the Shareholder, up to the number that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, would not adversely affect the marketing of the offering (including the price at which the securities (including the Registrable Securities) may be sold), and (C) third, in addition to securities of the Company included pursuant to the preceding clause (A) and the Registrable Securities of the Shareholder included pursuant to the preceding clause (B), the number of securities of the Company requested to be included by any other Person(s) in the offering with the permission of the Company, up to the number that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, would not adversely affect the marketing of the offering (including the price at which the securities of the Company may be sold). The Company may withdraw a Primary Registration Statement prior to its being declared effective without incurring any liability to the Shareholder and shall not be required to keep a Primary Registration Statement effective for longer than the period contemplated by the intended manner of distribution for the securities of the Company to be sold by the Company as described in the Prospectus included in the Primary Registration Statement. The Shareholder may, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of a Primary Registration Statement or the filing of any prospectus supplement with respect to any particular underwritten offering, as applicable, withdraw any Registrable Securities that it had sought to have included therein, without any liability to the Company or requirement to reimburse for any out-of-pocket expenses of the Company. No registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect registrations pursuant to Section 2.1.

(b) If the Company at any time following the date hereof proposes to file a registration statement or conduct an offering of any of its securities off an already filed Shelf Registration Statement using a prospectus supplement (such registration statement or prospectus supplement, a “Secondary Registration Statement”) for the secondary sale of such securities under the Securities Act on behalf of one or more holders of the securities of the Company other than the Shareholder (the “Requesting Third Party Shareholders”), the Company will give prompt written notice to the Shareholder of its intention to do so (such notice to be given not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Secondary Registration Statement). The Shareholder, to the extent it still holds Registrable Securities, shall within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice indicate to the Company if it wants to participate in the offering contemplated by the Secondary Registration Statement and, if so, the number of Registrable Securities it wishes to offer and sell. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities as to which inclusion shall have been so requested to be included in the Secondary Registration Statement. The Shareholder shall be entitled to sell the Registrable Securities included in a Secondary Registration Statement in accordance with the method of distribution requested by it; provided that, if the Secondary Registration Statement relates to a Public Offering, then (i) the Requesting Third Party Shareholders (or the Company) shall be entitled to select the underwriters and (ii) the Shareholder must sell all Registrable Securities included on the Secondary Registration Statement in such Public Offering pursuant to an underwriting agreement on the same terms and conditions as those applicable to the Requesting Third Party Shareholders. In the event that an Underwriter Cutback is required in the view of the managing underwriter, then the securities to be included in such Public Offering will be based on the following priority: (A) first, the number of the securities of the Company that the Requesting Third Party Shareholders seek to include, up to the number that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, would not adversely affect the marketing of the offering (including the price at which such securities may be sold); (B) second, in addition to the securities included pursuant to the preceding clause (A), the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by or on behalf of the Shareholder, up to the number that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, would not adversely affect the marketing of the offering (including the price at which the securities (including the Registrable Securities) may be sold); (C) third, in addition to the securities included pursuant to the preceding clauses (A) and (B), the number of securities sought to be included by the Company, up to the number that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, would not adversely affect the marketing of the offering (including the price at which the securities may be sold); and (D) fourth, in addition to the securities included pursuant to the preceding clauses (A), (B) and (C), the number of securities sought to be included by any other Persons permitted to participate in such underwritten offering, up to the number that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, would not adversely affect the marketing of the offering (including the price at which the securities may be sold). Requesting Third Party Shareholders or the Company may withdraw a Secondary Registration Statement prior to its being declared effective without incurring any liability to the Shareholder, and the Company shall not be required to keep a Secondary Registration Statement effective for longer than the period contemplated by the intended manner of distribution for the sale of the securities by the Requesting Third Party Shareholders as described in the Prospectus included in the Secondary Registration Statement. The Shareholder may, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of a Secondary Registration Statement or the filing of any prospectus supplement with respect to any particular underwritten offering, as applicable, withdraw any Registrable Securities that it had sought to have included therein, without any liability to the Company or any other Person or requirement to reimburse for any out-of-pocket expenses of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.2(b) shall not be applicable to the conversion of existing resale shelf registration statements on Form S-1 to Form S-3 or to the registration of additional securities for resale to the extent the Company is required to effect such registration under agreements that exist as of the date hereof.

Section 2.3 Expenses. Except as specifically provided herein, all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the registration or offering and sale of the Registrable Securities shall be borne by the Company and all Selling Expenses shall be borne by the Shareholder; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Shareholder bear or be responsible for any fees or expenses of the Company’s legal counsel in connection with the registration or offering and sale of Registrable Securities.

Section 2.4 Suspensions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, by providing written notice (a “Notice of Suspension”) to the Shareholder, to delay the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement or require the Shareholder to suspend the use of the Prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under an effective Registration Statement for a reasonable period of time not to exceed sixty (60) consecutive days or ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any twelve (12)-month period (a “Suspension Period”) if the Company Board (or the executive committee thereof) determines in good faith that such filing, effectiveness or use would (i) require the public disclosure of material non-public information concerning any material transaction or negotiations involving the Company that would interfere with such material transaction or negotiations or (ii) otherwise materially interfere with material financing plans, acquisition activities or business activities of the Company; provided, that if at the time of receipt of such notice by the Shareholder, the Shareholder shall have sold all or a portion of the Registrable Securities (or have signed a firm commitment underwriting agreement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Securities) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement and the reason for the Suspension Period is not of a nature that would require a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as to eliminate any restriction imposed by federal securities Laws by the time such Registrable Securities are scheduled to be delivered. Immediately upon receipt of a Notice of Suspension, the Shareholder shall discontinue the disposition of Registrable Securities under an effective Registration Statement and Prospectus relating thereto until the Suspension Period is terminated.

(b) The Company agrees that it will terminate any Suspension Period as promptly as reasonably practicable and will promptly notify in writing the Shareholder, to the extent it still holds Registrable Securities, of such termination. After the expiration of any Suspension Period in the case of an effective Registration Statement, and without the need for any further request from the Shareholder, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, the relevant Prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as applicable, will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) If a Suspension Period occurs during the Effectiveness Period for a Registration Statement, such Effectiveness Period shall be extended for a number of days equal to the total number of days during which the distribution of Registrable Securities is suspended under this Section 2.4. If the Company notifies the Shareholder of a Suspension Period with respect to a Registration Statement requested pursuant to Section 2.1 (including a Demand Registration Request) that has not yet been filed or declared effective, (i) the Shareholder may by notice to the Company withdraw such request without such request counting as a Demand Registration Request and (ii) the Shareholder will not be obligated to reimburse the Company for any of its out-of-pocket expenses, including Registration Expenses.

Section 2.5 Lock-Up Obligations. To the extent reasonably requested by a managing underwriter, if any, of any underwritten Public Offering (including any Underwritten Block Trade) of the securities of the Company pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, the Company hereby agrees, (i) not to (A) offer for sale, sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any Person at any time in the future of) any shares of common stock of the Company or any other form of Capital Stock (collectively, the “Restricted Stock”) (other than the grant of equity awards with respect to, or the issuance of shares of Capital Stock under, any of the Company’s bona fide equity incentive plans in existence at the start of the lock-up period specified in this Section 2.5), (B) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another Person, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of Restricted Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (A) above or this clause (B) is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (C) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, in each case, for a period specified by such managing underwriter or co-managing underwriter but no more than the ten (10) days prior to and the ninety (90) days (or one hundred and eighty (180) days if reasonably requested by the managing underwriters) following the pricing date of the Public Offering of such securities.

Section 2.6 Registration Procedures. Whenever the Shareholder requests that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, subject to the provisions of those Sections, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and the offer and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as soon as reasonably practicable, and shall, in connection with any such request:

(a) prepare and promptly file with the SEC a Registration Statement (or a prospectus supplement, as applicable) with respect to such securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby (but in no event longer than the Effectiveness Period) and at least three (3) Business Days (or, with regard to any Underwritten Block Trade, as soon as reasonably practicable) before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any documents incorporated by reference therein), or any related free writing prospectus, furnish to the Shareholder and the underwriter(s), if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, and provide the Shareholder with the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to it and the plan of distribution that is contained therein;

(b) (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith and such free writing prospectuses and Exchange Act reports as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period specified in paragraph (a) above and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and any prospectus so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act in accordance with the Shareholder’s intended method of disposition set forth in such Registration Statement for such period, and (ii) provide reasonable notice to the Shareholder and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to the extent that the Company determines that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate;

(c) furnish to the Shareholder and the underwriter(s), if any, without charge, such number of copies of the Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) and any other prospectuses filed under Rule 424 and each free writing prospectus as such Persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement;

(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” Laws of such jurisdictions as the Shareholder or, in the case of a Public Offering, the managing underwriter reasonably shall request and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the Shareholder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by it; provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(e) promptly notify the Shareholder and each managing underwriter, if any: (i) when the Registration Statement, any pre-effective amendment, the Prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto, any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or any free writing prospectus has been filed with the SEC and, with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC or state securities authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus related thereto or for additional information, including copies of any and all transmittal letters and other correspondence with the SEC and all correspondence (including comment letters and a copy of the Company’s draft responses thereto), from the SEC to the Company relating to such Registration Statement or any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any documents incorporated by reference therein); (iii) 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; or (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or state “blue sky” Laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose.

(f) if at any time (i) any event or development shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Disclosure Package, as then amended or supplemented, would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Disclosure Package is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to comply with Law, the Company will promptly notify the Shareholder and each managing underwriter, if any, and promptly prepare and file with the SEC (to the extent required) and furnish to the Shareholder and each underwriter, if any, such amendments or supplements to the Disclosure Package as may be necessary so that the statements in the Disclosure Package, as so amended or supplemented, will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Disclosure Package is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading, or so that the Disclosure Package will comply with Law;

(g) use its commercially reasonable efforts to make generally available to the Shareholder, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158;

(h) use its commercially reasonable efforts to list the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) or any other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed;

(i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its officers, employees and independent public accountants (in the case of the independent public accountants, subject to any applicable accounting guidance regarding their participation in the offering or the due diligence process) to participate in, make themselves reasonably available, supply such information as may reasonably be requested and to otherwise facilitate and cooperate with the preparation of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto (including participating in meetings, marketing activities, investor calls, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions and rating agency presentations) taking into account the Company’s reasonable business needs (it being acknowledged that the activities specified in this Section 2.6(i) may be required approximately once in every ninety (90) calendar day period depending on market conditions and other factors and subject to the proper exercise of a demand hereunder)

Section 2.8 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification Rights.

(i) In the event of any registration or other offer and sale of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to this Article II, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholder and each Person, if any, that controls the Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each a “controlling person”), their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, general and limited partners, members, Representatives and Affiliates, and each controlling person of each Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons (each, a “Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitee”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all Damages caused by, relating to, arising out of, or in connection with (A) any untrue statement of material fact (or alleged untrue statement of a material fact) contained in any Disclosure Package, any Registration Statement, any Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus), any Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or (B) any omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that the Company shall not be liable to a Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitee to the extent that any such Damages are directly caused by any untrue statement or omission (or alleged untrue statement or omission) made in such Disclosure Package, Registration Statement, Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus), Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about the Shareholder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Shareholder expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity and reimbursement of expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitee and shall survive the transfer of securities by the Shareholder.

(ii) The Shareholder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its officers who execute any of the Company’s filings with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, its directors, officers and employees (each, a “Company Registration Rights Indemnitee”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all Damages directly caused by, relating to, arising out of, or in connection with (A) any untrue statement of material fact (or alleged untrue statement of a material fact) contained in any Disclosure Package, any Registration Statement, any Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus), any Free Writing Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case, to the extent that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Shareholder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that in no event shall the obligations of the Shareholder hereunder exceed the net proceeds received by it from the sale of its Registrable Securities related to the matter in which Damages are sought. The Company and the Shareholder hereby acknowledge and agree that, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the Shareholder to the contrary, for all purposes of this Agreement, the only information furnished or to be furnished to the Company for use in any registration statement, preliminary, final or summary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus, are statements specifically relating to (w) the beneficial ownership of the Capital Stock by the Shareholder and its Affiliates as disclosed in the section of such document entitled “Selling Shareholders” or “Principal and Selling Shareholders” or other variations thereof, (x) the name and address of the Shareholder, (y) any information provided by or on behalf of the Shareholder for any plan of distribution prepared in accordance with Item 508 of Regulation S-K and (z) any free writing prospectus prepared by the Shareholder for purposes of a specific offering. Such indemnity and reimbursement of expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of a Company Registration Rights Indemnitee and shall survive the Transfer of such securities by the Shareholder. Such indemnity and reimbursement of expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of a Company Registration Rights Indemnitee and shall survive the Transfer of such securities by the Shareholder.

(iii) If the indemnification provided for in Section 2.8(a)(i) or Section 2.8(a)(ii) is unavailable to a Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitee or a Company Registration Rights Indemnitee, as applicable, with respect to any Damages referred to therein or is unenforceable or insufficient to hold a Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitee or Company Registration Rights Indemnitee, as applicable, harmless as contemplated therein, then the Company or the Shareholder, as applicable, in lieu of indemnifying such Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitee or Company Registration Rights Indemnitee, as applicable, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitee or Company Registration Rights Indemnitee, as applicable, as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitee or Company Registration Rights Indemnitee, as applicable, on the one hand, and the Company or the Shareholder, as applicable, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company or the Shareholder, as applicable, on the one hand, and of a Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitee or Company Registration Rights Indemnitee, as applicable, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by or on behalf of the Company or the Shareholder, as applicable, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; the Company and the Shareholder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8(a)(iii) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 2.8(a)(iii). No Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitee or Company Registration Rights Indemnitee guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from the Company or the Shareholder, as applicable, if the Company or the Shareholder, as applicable, was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the liability of the Shareholder pursuant to this Section 2.8(a)(iii) be greater in amount than the amount of net proceeds received by it from the sale of such Registrable Securities related to the matter in which indemnification or contribution for Damages are sought.

(b) Notice of Reg Rights Claim.

(i) As used in this Agreement, the term “Reg Rights Claim” means a claim for indemnification or contribution by or on behalf of any Company Registration Rights Indemnitee or Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitee, as the case may be, for Damages under Section 2.8(a) (such Person making a Reg Rights Claim, a “Reg Rights Indemnified Person”). The Company (for its own Damages or for the Damages incurred by any other Company Registration Rights Indemnitee) or the Shareholder (for its own Damages or for the Damages incurred by any other Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitee), as applicable, shall give notice of a Reg Rights Claim under this Agreement pursuant to a written notice of such Reg Rights Claim executed by the Company or the Shareholder, as applicable (a “Notice of Reg Rights Claim”), and delivered to the Company or the Shareholder, as applicable (such receiving party, the “Reg Rights Indemnifying Person”), promptly after such Reg Rights Indemnified Person becomes aware of the existence of any potential claim by such Reg Rights Indemnified Person for indemnification arising out of or resulting from any item indemnified pursuant to the terms of Section 2.8(a)(i) or Section 2.8(a)(ii); provided that the failure to timely give such notice shall not limit or reduce the Reg Rights Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification hereunder unless (and then only to the extent that) the Reg Rights Indemnifying Person’s defense of such Reg Rights Claim is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby.

(ii) Each Notice of Reg Rights Claim shall: (A) state the aggregate amount (where practicable) that the Reg Rights Indemnified Person has incurred or paid in Damages arising from such Reg Rights Claim (which amount may include the amount of Damages claimed by a third party in an action (a “Third-Party Reg Rights Claim”) brought against such Reg Rights Indemnified Person based on alleged facts, which if true, would give rise to liability for Damages to such Reg Rights Indemnified Person); and (B) contain a brief description, in reasonable detail (to the extent reasonably available to the Reg Rights Indemnified Person) of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to the alleged Damages based on the Reg Rights Indemnified Person’s good faith belief and knowledge thereof, including the identity and address of any third party claimant (to the extent reasonably available to the Reg Rights Indemnified Person).

(i) Subject to the provisions hereof, the applicable Reg Rights Indemnifying Person shall have the right (at its own expense) to elect to defend and assume control of the defense of any Third-Party Reg Rights Claim on behalf of a Reg Rights Indemnified Person, utilizing legal counsel reasonably acceptable to such Reg Rights Indemnified Person. In the event such election is made, the Reg Rights Indemnified Person (unless itself controlling the Third-Party Reg Rights Claim in accordance with this Section 2.8(c)) may participate, through counsel of its own choice and, except as provided herein, at its own expense, in the defense of any Third-Party Reg Rights Claim. The reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Reg Rights Indemnifying Person in connection with such defense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be paid by the Reg Rights Indemnifying Person.

(ii) A Reg Rights Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense, and the applicable Reg Rights Indemnified Person may assume the control and defense thereof, at the sole expense of the applicable Reg Rights Indemnifying Person, if (A) the Reg Rights Claim relates to, or arises in connection with, any criminal or governmental proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (B) the Reg Rights Claim seeks an injunction against the Reg Rights Indemnified Person, to the extent that such defense relates to the claim for such injunction, (C) a conflict of interest between the Reg Rights Indemnifying Person and the Reg Rights Indemnified Person exists with respect to the Reg Rights Claim or the Reg Rights Indemnifying Person and the Reg Rights Indemnified Person have one or more conflicting defenses, in the reasonable view of their respective counsel, or (D) the Reg Rights Indemnifying Person has elected to have the Reg Rights Indemnified Person defend, or assume the control and defense of, a Third-Party Reg Rights Claim in accordance with this Section 2.8(c); provided that in no event shall the Reg Rights Indemnifying Person be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel for all Reg Rights Indemnified Persons, which counsel shall be selected by the Shareholder (in the case of the Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitees) or by the Company (in the case of the Company Registration Rights Indemnitees).

(iii) Any party controlling the defense of any Third-Party Reg Rights Claim pursuant hereto shall: (A) conduct the defense of such Third-Party Reg Rights Claim with reasonable diligence and keep the other parties reasonably informed of material developments in the Third-Party Reg Rights Claim at all stages thereof, (B) as promptly as reasonably practicable, submit to the other parties copies of all pleadings, responsive pleadings, motions and other similar legal documents and papers received or filed in connection therewith, (C) permit the other parties and their counsel to confer on the conduct of the defense thereof, and (D) permit the other parties and their counsel an opportunity to review all legal papers to be submitted prior to their submission. The parties not controlling the defense will render to the party controlling the defense such assistance as may be reasonably required in order to insure the proper and adequate defense thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the party controlling the defense in connection therewith. The Reg Rights Indemnifying Person shall reimburse the parties not controlling the defense for any reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with providing such assistance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party shall be required to disclose any information to the other Party or its Representatives, if doing so would be reasonably expected to violate any Law to which such Party is subject or could jeopardize (in the reasonable discretion of the disclosing Party) any attorney-client privilege available with respect to such information.

(iv) If the Reg Rights Indemnifying Person controls the defense of and defends any Third-Party Reg Rights Claim under this Section 2.8(c), the Reg Rights Indemnifying Person shall have the right to effect a settlement of such Third-Party Reg Rights Claim on the Reg Rights Indemnified Person’s behalf and without the consent of the Reg Rights Indemnified Person; provided that (A) such settlement shall not involve any injunctive relief binding upon the Reg Rights Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates, and (B) such settlement expressly and unconditionally releases the Reg Rights Indemnified Person and the other applicable Reg Rights Indemnified Persons (that is, each of the Company Registration Rights Indemnitees, if the Reg Rights Indemnified Person is a Company Registration Rights Indemnitee, and each of the Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitees, if the Reg Rights Indemnified Person is a Shareholder Registration Rights Indemnitee) from any and all liabilities with respect to such Third-Party Reg Rights Claim, with prejudice. If the Reg Rights Indemnified Person controls the defense of and defends any Third-Party Reg Rights Claim under this Section 2.8(c), the Reg Rights Indemnified Person shall have the right to effect a settlement of such Third-Party Reg Rights Claim only with the consent of the Reg Rights Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No settlement by the Reg Rights Indemnified Person of such Third-Party Reg Rights Claim effected in accordance with this Section 2.8(c) shall limit or reduce the right of any Reg Rights Indemnified Person to indemnity hereunder for all Damages they may incur arising out of or resulting from the Third-Party Reg Rights Claim, to the extent such Damages are indemnifiable hereunder. As used in this Section 2.8(c)(iv), the term “settlement” refers to any consensual resolution of the claim in question, including by consent decree or by permitting any judgment or other resolution of a claim to occur without disputing the same, and the term “settle” has a corresponding meaning.

Section 2.9 Free Writing Prospectuses. Except for a Prospectus relating to Registrable Securities included in a Registration Statement, an “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) prepared by the Company or other materials prepared by Company, the Shareholder represents and agrees that it (a) will not make any offer relating to the Registrable Securities that would constitute an issuer free writing prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus, and (b) will not distribute any written materials in connection with the offer or sale pursuant to a Registration Statement of Registrable Securities, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company and, in connection with any Public Offering, the underwriters.

Section 2.10 Information from and Obligations of the Shareholder. The Company’s obligation to include the Shareholder’s Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement or Prospectus is contingent upon the Shareholder:

(a) furnishing to the Company in writing information with respect to its ownership of Registrable Securities and the intended method of disposition of its Registrable Securities as the Company may reasonably request or as may be required by Law for use in connection with a Registration Statement or Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) and all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information the Shareholder previously furnished to the Company not contain a material misstatement of fact or necessary to cause such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or amendment or supplement thereto) not to omit a material fact with respect to the Shareholder necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading;

(b) complying with (i) the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) all applicable state securities Laws, (iii) the rules of any securities exchange or trading market on which the shares of Common Stock are listed or traded, and (iv) all other applicable regulations, in each case, in connection with the registration and the disposition of Registrable Securities;

(c) following its actual knowledge thereof, notifying the Company of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in a Registration Statement, Prospectus, issuer free writing prospectus or other Free Writing Prospectus regarding the Shareholder untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in a Registration Statement, Prospectus, issuer free writing prospectus or other Free Writing Prospectus so that, in such regard, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements not misleading;

(d) providing the Company with such information as may be required to enable the Company to prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to any such Registration Statement or a supplement to such Prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus;

(e) using commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company in preparing the applicable Registration Statement and any related Prospectus; and

(f) furnishing the Company with all information required to be included in such Registration Statement or Prospectus by applicable securities Laws in connection with the disposition of such Registrable Securities as the Company reasonably requests.

Section 2.11 Rule 144 Reporting.

(a) With a view to making available to the Shareholder the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep available adequate current public information, as defined in Rule 144(c), including all periodic and annual reports and other documents (other than Form 8-K reports) required of the Company under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and so long as the Shareholder Beneficially Owns any Registrable Securities or securities convertible into or exercisable for Registrable Securities, furnish to the Shareholder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, and of the Exchange Act; a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as the Shareholder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any Registrable Securities without registration.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholder may sell any Common Shares in compliance with Rule 144, regardless of whether a Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC or is effective. The Company agrees to (i) make and keep public information available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to 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 (iii) so long as the Shareholder owns any Common Shares, furnish to the Shareholder upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Section 2.12 Termination of Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the registration rights granted under this Article II terminate and are of no further force and effect (other than Section 2.3 and Section 2.8), on the date on which there cease to be any Registrable Securities.

Section 2.13 Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company shall not (a) grant any registration rights to third parties which are more favorable than, or inconsistent with, the rights granted hereunder, or (b) enter into any agreement, take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities, that violates or subordinates the rights expressly granted to the Shareholder in this Article II.

Section 2.14 Transfer of Registration Rights. The Shareholder shall have the right to Transfer to any Person (such Person, a “Transferee Shareholder”), directly or indirectly, by written agreement, any or all of its rights and obligations granted under this Article II in connection with a Transfer of all or a portion of its Registrable Securities to such Person. Such Transferee Shareholder shall, following such Transfer, become responsible for all obligations applicable to the Shareholder under this Article II with respect to the Registrable Securities Transferred to such Transferee Shareholder. If the Shareholder Transfers only a portion of its Registrable Securities, the Shareholder shall retain all rights under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Registrable Securities that it continues to hold following such Transfer.

Article III
Right of first offer

Section 3.1 General. From the date hereof until December 31, 2022, if the Company proposes to offer or sell any New Securities, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to the Shareholder in accordance with this Article III.

If the Shareholder does not send a Purchase Commitment in accordance with the foregoing sentence, or duly sends a Purchase Commitment but does not elect to purchase all of the Offered Securities in such Purchase Commitment, the Shareholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived its right under this Article III with respect to those Offered Securities that are not Subscribed New Securities (the “Unsubscribed New Securities”) and the Company shall, subject to the terms and conditions of Article IV, thereafter be free to offer and sell the Unsubscribed New Securities to any Person or Persons within one hundred and twenty (120) days following the date of the Offer Notice (the “Sale Deadline”) on terms no more favorable to such Person or Persons than those set forth in the Offer Notice. If the Company has not completed the sale of the Unsubscribed New Securities in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the Company shall provide a new Offer Notice to the Shareholder on the terms and provisions set forth in Section 3.2.

(b) an offer by the Company to issue to the Shareholder such portion (not in any event to exceed the Participation Percentage) of the New Securities to be included in the issuance as may be requested by the Shareholder (the “Preemptive Rights Securities”), at the same price and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the issuance to each of the Prospective Subscribers; provided that, if consideration to be paid by the Prospective Subscriber for the New Securities contains non-cash consideration, then such offer shall give the Shareholder the option to pay, in lieu of delivery of such non-cash consideration, cash in the amount of the fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Company Board) of such non-cash consideration; and provided, further, that, if the issuance of the Preemptive Rights Securities to the Shareholder would require approval of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the rules of Nasdaq (or the rules of the principal market on which the Common Stock is then listed), such offer and any issuance of the Preemptive Rights Securities shall be conditioned on such stockholder approval being obtained (it being agreed that the Company shall not issue New Securities to any Person if such stockholder approval is not obtained).

If so approved, such Replacement shall serve as the Shareholder Nominee for election in the same class of Directors on the Company Board as the Shareholder Director or Shareholder Nominee for which such Person serves as a Replacement.

Section 8.5 Interpretation; Headings. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Exhibit, a Schedule or a Section, such reference shall be to an Exhibit, a Schedule or a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, index of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “or” is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. Any agreement, instrument or Law defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, unless otherwise specifically indicated. References to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded, and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the immediately following Business Day. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “dollars” and “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. Each of the parties hereto has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. References to “days” shall mean “calendar days” unless expressly stated otherwise. No specific provision, representation or warranty shall limit the applicability of a more general provision, representation or warranty. It is the intent of the parties hereto that each representation, warranty, covenant, condition and agreement contained in this Agreement shall be given full, separate, and independent effect and that such provisions are cumulative. Any reference in this Agreement to a date or time shall be deemed to be such date or time in the City of New York, New York, U.S.A., unless otherwise specified.

Section 8.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that such transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 8.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

Section 8.8 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party hereto, in whole or in part (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other party hereto. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.9 Further Assurances. Each Party shall cooperate, take such actions, enter into such agreements (including customary indemnification and contribution agreements) and execute such documents as may be reasonably requested by any other Party in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that no Party shall be obligated to take any actions or omit to take any actions that would be inconsistent with applicable Law.

Section 8.10 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States of America, in each case located in the County of New York, for any Action 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 (whether brought by any party or any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates). Consistent with the preceding sentence, each of the parties hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by either party hereto, (b) agrees that service of process will be validly effected by sending notice in accordance with Section 8.3, (c) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above named courts, and (d) agrees not to move to transfer any such Action to a court other than any of the above-named courts. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.10.

Section 8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form) in counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 8.12 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in law or equity, including monetary damages) to (a) an Order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each party further agrees that neither the other party nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.12, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

Section 8.13 Waiver. Any party hereto entitled to the benefits thereof may, to the extent permitted by Law (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein, and (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise of any other right hereunder.
