Pledge of Securities Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by an Investor in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities.

Authorization of Securities The Securities to be sold by the Company under this Agreement have been duly authorized for issuance and sale to the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement against payment of the consideration set forth herein, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; no holder of the Securities is or will be subject to personal liability by reason of being such a holder; and the issuance and sale of the Securities to be sold by the Company under this Agreement are not subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights of any securityholder of the Company or any other person.

Unless otherwise directed by Instructions, the Custodian is authorized to exchange Securities held by it in temporary form for Securities in definitive form, to surrender Securities for transfer into a name or nominee name as permitted in Section 4(b)(2), to effect an exchange of shares in a stock split or when the par value of the stock is changed, to sell any fractional shares, and, upon receiving payment therefor, to surrender bonds or other Securities held by it at maturity or call.
Custody of Securities Trade Republic holds the Customer's Securities and uncertificated Securities in custody, with the exception of Crypto Assets acquired by the Customer. Trade Republic observes the legal and regulatory requirements for the regularity of the custody business. As a rule, German domestic securities are held in custody by Clearstream Banking AG, in Frankfurt, Germany, as a central securities depository, provided that the Securities are eligible for collective safe custody. As long as Trade Republic itself does not maintain a custody account with Clearstream Banking AG, the German Customers’ domestic Securities are booked in a custody account of a sub-custodian (at the moment HSBC Trinkaus & Xxxxxxxxx XX) with Clearstream Banking AG. Trade Republic has concluded a corresponding agreement with the respective sub- custodian. Following this agreement, the sub-custodian has to hold the Securities of the Trade Republic Customers separately from the securities held by itself. The sub-custodian is liable to Trade Republic for any breaches of duty arising from the custody of Customers' Securities. Trade Republic is in turn liable to the Customers themselves for the fulfillment of the contractual obligations under the Framework Agreement and the Special Terms and Conditions. In the event of insolvency of Trade Republic or the sub-custodian, Trade Republic and the sub-custodian will keep Customers' Securities separate from any own holdings. This avoids a commingling of own holdings with Customer securities and ensures a right of segregation of the Customers regarding their securities. Only for fractional securities held by the Customer, Trade Republic may, if necessary, hold a cover holding as a proprietary holding. Foreign securities are generally held in custody in the home market of the security in question or in the country in which the purchase was made. The respective securities statement provided by Trade Republic to the Customer shows in which country Trade Republic holds the Securities in custody. Trade Republic fulfills its custody obligations by providing and maintaining the Custody Account. This includes the following services in particular: - Issuance of an annual Custody Account statement; - Redemption of Securities and renewal of coupon sheets; - Processing of subscription rights, warrants and convertible bonds; - Passing on news from "Wertpapier-Mitteilungen" - an information provider regarding securities; - Exchanging, deregistering and destroying certificates In case of redemption of interest coupons, dividend coupons and income coupons as well as securities in foreign currencies or accounting units, Trade Republic will issue a credit note to Customers in euros, unless otherwise agreed. The details of the fulfillment of the custody duties are set out in Clauses 13 to 18 of the Special Terms and Conditions for Securities Transactions and Execution Policies (Appendix 2.2.). To the extent that Trade Republic books fractions into the Customer's Custody Account, Trade Republic may hold a cover holding of securities in this respect in the Custody Account held by the sub-custodian together with the Customer's securities or in a separate Custody Account in Trade Republic's name. Trade Republic will ensure through appropriate safekeeping that the cover holding in a class of securities is at least equal to the sum of the fractions held by Customers in that class of securities. The Customer is not entitled to delivery of fractions from the cover holding for the fractions; rather, the Customer may dispose of fractions by sale (cf. Clause 2.5 of the Special Terms and Conditions for Savings Plan (Appendix 2.4.). Crypto Assets, on the other hand, are held in custody by a Crypto Custodian in accordance with Clause 11 of the Special Conditions for Trading in Crypto Assets (Appendix 2.5.). Crypto Assets are held in centralized wallets by the Crypto Custodian commissioned by the Customer in accordance with its terms of use. For this purpose, the Customer concludes its own custody agreement with the Crypto Custodian for this purpose via the Application. Trade Republic itself does not assume custody of Crypto Assets for the Customer. The Securities acquired by the Customer within the framework of the partial executions, will be booked into the Customer’s Custody Account maintained with Trade Republic.
Restriction on Sale of Securities by Company For the period specified below (the “Lock-Up Period”), the Company will not, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions with respect to its Securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of its Securities (“Lock-Up Securities”): (i) offer, sell, issue, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, Lock-Up Securities, (ii) offer, sell, issue, contract to sell, contract to purchase or grant any option, right or warrant to purchase Lock-Up Securities, (iii) enter into any swap, hedge or any other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Lock-Up Securities, (iv) establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position in Lock-Up Securities within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or (v) file with the Commission a registration statement under the Act relating to Lock-Up Securities, or publicly disclose the intention to take any such action, without the prior written consent of the Representative (whether any transaction mentioned in (i) through (iii) is to be settled by delivery of the Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise), except (A) the issuance of Lock-Up Securities pursuant to the terms of an employee benefit plan, qualified stock option plan or other director or employee compensation plan, or an agreement existing pursuant to such plan, in effect on the date hereof, (B) the performance by the Company of its obligations under the registration rights agreements between the Company and the Selling Stockholder or the certificate of designations for the Company’s Class A Convertible Preferred Stock, each as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, or (C) the issuance of Lock-Up Securities in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate 15% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on the date hereof as consideration in, or in a capital raising transaction the proceeds of which are used for, any merger, acquisition or other business combination, subject to the recipients of such issuance being bound by the terms of a similar lock-up agreement and no public disclosure being made in connection with such issuance during the Lock-Up Period unless required under the Exchange Act. The initial Lock-Up Period will commence on the date hereof and continue for 90 days after the date hereof or such earlier date that the Representative agrees to in writing; provided, however, that if (1) during the last 17 days of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Company releases earnings results or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the initial Lock-Up Period, then in each case the Lock-Up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the occurrence of the materials news or material event, as applicable, unless the Representative waives, in writing, such extension. The Company will provide the Representative with notice of any announcement described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence that gives rise to an extension of the Lock-Up Period.
Treatment of Securities as Debt It is intended that the Securities will be treated as indebtedness and not as equity for federal income tax purposes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be interpreted to further this intention.
