(b) Transfers of Ownership. If any cash amounts are to be disbursed pursuant to Section 1.6 in accordance with the Closing Payment Certificate to any Person other than the Person or entity whose name is registered in the Company Operating Agreement surrendered in exchange therefore, it will be a condition of the issuance or delivery thereof that (i) the Company Member requesting such disbursal shall provide Parent with such documentation requested by Parent to properly evidence such transfer, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment will have paid to Parent, or any agent designated by it, any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of payment in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Company Interests surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

1.10 No Further Ownership Rights. The consideration paid in respect of the surrender of Company Interests in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Interests. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Company Interests shall cease to have any rights with respect to Company Interests represented thereby, except as otherwise set forth herein or by Applicable Laws. At the Effective Time, the transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of any Company Interests thereafter on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, any Company Interest is presented to the Surviving Corporation, it shall be cancelled and exchanged as set forth in Section 1.7 and this Section 1.10.

1.11 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Determination of Closing Working Capital Adjustment. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a reasonably detailed statement setting forth the calculation of the estimated Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Closing, without taking into account any of the Transactions occurring as part of the Closing (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”), which shall be prepared in accordance with the methodology set forth on Exhibit C. To assist Parent in its review of the above calculations, the Company shall make available to Parent and its Representatives such information and in such detail used in connection therewith as is reasonably requested by Parent and subject to the Company’s customary protocols and Applicable Law. The “Closing Working Capital Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Working Capital minus the Target Working Capital.

(b) Determination of Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustments.

(i) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event within ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date, subject to Parent extending such date for up to an additional thirty (30) calendar days with the consent of the Company Members, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Company Members a reasonably detailed statement setting forth the calculation of the Working Capital of immediately prior to the Closing, without taking into account any of the Transactions occurring as part of the Closing (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.11, the “Final Working Capital”), which shall be prepared in accordance with the methodology set forth on Exhibit C. If the Company Members dispute the Final Working Capital as determined by Parent, then the Company Members shall deliver to Parent a written statement (the “Dispute Notice”) describing with reasonable detail the basis for any such dispute within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the statement calculating the Final Working Capital. If the Company Members do not deliver the Dispute Notice to Parent within such thirty (30) calendar day period, then the determination of the Final Working Capital shall be deemed final and accepted by the Company Members. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Company Members will use reasonable efforts and act in good faith to resolve any such dispute themselves. If such dispute is not finally resolved within thirty (30) calendar days after Parent’s receipt of the Dispute Notice, either Parent or the Company Members may thereafter cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants with nationwide audit, accounting and valuation practices as to which the Company Members and Parent agree in writing (the “Independent Accountant”) to review this Agreement promptly and the disputed items or amounts in determining the Final Working Capital. The Company Members, Surviving Corporation and the Parent, as applicable, will provide the accounting firm access to the Books and Records of Parent and/or Surviving Corporation and their Affiliates related to the calculation of the Final Working Capital. The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert not as an arbitrator. Within ten (10) calendar days after submission to the Independent Accountant for resolution, Parent and the Company Members shall each submit a written brief that indicates their position on each disputed matter and each such party’s determination of the amount of the Final Working Capital. The Independent Accountant shall make a written determination on each disputed matter no later than thirty (30) calendar days after submission to the Independent Accountant for resolution and such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Parent and the Company Members with respect to that disputed matter, absent fraud or manifest error. Such determination for each disputed matter shall be bounded by the amount proposed by Parent and the amount proposed by the Company Members. The proposed Final Working Capital will be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any such claims pursuant to this Section 1.11. The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Parent, on the one hand, and the Company Members, on the other hand, on an inversely proportional basis, based upon the relative difference between the amounts in dispute that have been submitted to the Independent Accountant and the Independent Accountant’s final calculations. Solely by way of example, if Parent claimed that Final Working Capital is One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), the Company Members claimed in the Dispute Notice that Final Working Capital is One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000), and the Independent Accountant determines that Final Working Capital is One Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,100,000), then Parent shall pay twenty percent (20%) of the Independent Accountant’s fees and disbursements and the Company Members shall pay eighty percent (80%) of the Independent Accountant’s fees and disbursements. Parent and the Company Members shall each pay their own fees and expenses related to such determination.

(ii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation will provide the Company Members and their legal, accounting and/or financial advisors with reasonable access during normal business hours to all materials related to the preparation of and proper calculation of the Final Working Capital, and shall make their financial staff and advisors available to the Company Members and their legal, accounting and/or financial advisors and to the Independent Accountant at any reasonable time during the review by the Company Members of the Final Working Capital and the resolution by Parent and the Company Members and/or the Independent Accountant of any objections thereto. Access to any work papers or analyses provided by Parent’s advisors shall be subject to their customary protocols for such access.

(i) If the amount of the Final Working Capital, as finally determined, is less than the Lower Target Working Capital, then within five (5) calendar days after the Final Working Capital is determined pursuant to this Section 1.11, the Company Members and Company shall pay to Parent an amount equal to the difference between the Closing Working Capital Adjustment and the Lower Target Working Capital (such amount, the “Company Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment”) by executing and delivering to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction as required by the Escrow Agreement directing the Escrow Agent to disburse such amount from the Escrow Funds in Escrow Cash.

(ii) If the amount of the Final Working Capital, as finally determined, is greater than the Higher Target Working Capital, then within five (5) calendar days after the Final Working Capital is determined pursuant to this Section 1.11, Parent shall pay to each Company Member such Company Member’s Allocated Portion of an amount equal to the difference between the Closing Working Capital Adjustment and the Higher Target Working Capital (such amount, the “Parent Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment,” and together with the Company Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment, the “Post-Closing Working Capital Adjustment”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(d) Prorations. Except as provided in the Final Working Capital, all payments made by the Company for services, rent and other charges or expenses paid or payable with respect to the Company shall be prorated as of the Effective Time so that all such payments, prepayments or expenses attributable to the period ending as of the Effective Time shall be for the account of the Company, and all such payments, prepayments and expenses attributable to the period commencing with and following the Effective Time shall be for the account of Parent. Any prepayments existing as of the Effective Time shall accrue as part of the Final Working Capital.

(e) No Further Claim. After the determination of the Final Working Capital and the payment of any adjustments contemplated by this Section 1.11, no party shall have the right to make any claim based on the Working Capital as of the Effective Time (even if subsequent events or subsequently discovered facts would have affected the calculation of the Working Capital had such subsequent events or subsequently discovered facts been known at the time of the Closing), other than as a result of fraud or manifest error.

(f) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant hereto shall be treated as an adjustment to the Aggregate Consideration by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

1.12 Withholding Taxes. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration any amount otherwise payable in connection with the Transactions such amounts as Parent, Merger Sub, or the Escrow Agent is required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Applicable Law with respect to any Person entitled to receive Aggregate Consideration or payments pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided Parent provides Company at least two (2) days prior notice of intent to withhold such amounts to allow Company to provide proof of exemption and such amounts are actually paid over to the applicable Tax Authority. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by Parent, Merger Sub, or the Escrow Agent, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person entitled to receive the applicable payment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Merger Sub, or the Escrow Agent.

1.13 Taking of Necessary Actions; Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the officers and directors of Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name of their respective entities or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

1.14 Earnout Payments.

(a) Each Company Member shall be entitled to receive such Company Member’s Allocated Portion of the Earnout Payment as Additional Consideration in respect of all Company Interests such Company Member holds upon the Earnout Payment Date, as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.14(h)(iii).

(b) Subject to such Company Member having provided Parent with an executed Accredited Investor Certification dated no earlier than ten (10) days prior to the date on which Parent distributes a Certificate (as defined below) to such Company Member, if any Earnout Payment is payable pursuant to Section 1.14(a), Parent shall promptly, and in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the final determination of the Earnout Payment, distribute to the Company Members certificates, or if Parent Common Stock is not then evidenced by certificates, such other documentation as Parent provides to other holders of Parent Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”), representing shares of Parent’s Common Stock equal to such holder’s aggregate Allocated Portion thereof, with each Company Member entitled to receive such Company Member’s Allocated Portion of such amount.

(c) If Certificates are to be issued in a name other than as set forth in the Closing Payment Certificate, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the registered owner set forth in the Closing Payment Certificate shall execute such forms for transfer requested by Parent, including, but not limited to an Accredited Investor Certification, and that the Persons requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of Certificates in any name other than that of the registered holder set forth in the Closing Payment Certificate, or established to the satisfaction of Parent by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by Parent by virtue of this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall instead have the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued to such Person rounded up in the aggregate to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock.

(e) No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Earnout Payment Date with respect to Parent Common Stock will be paid to the Company Members that have not yet surrendered their unit certificate(s) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued upon surrender thereof until the Company Members shall surrender the applicable certificate(s). Subject to all Applicable Laws, following surrender of any such certificate(s), Parent shall promptly deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, the Certificates issued in exchange therefor and the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Earnout Payment Date theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock.

(f) The Company Members hereby acknowledge and agree that:

(i) subject to Section 1.14(h)(iii) below, Parent will have the right to operate and conduct the Surviving Corporation post-Closing as it chooses in its sole discretion;

(ii) there are no assurances that the Earnout Payment will be payable; and

(iii) the right to receive the Earnout Payment will not be represented by a certificate, does not represent an ownership interest in Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation), and does not entitle any Company Member to any rights common to holders of Equity Interest in Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation).

(g) Notwithstanding Section 1.14(f) or anything herein to the contrary, during the period following the Closing until the Earnout Payment is finally determined pursuant to Section 1.14(h)(iii) and paid, if applicable, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company Members:

(i) maintain separate accounting Books and Records for the Surviving Corporation and each Company Subsidiary that will be used to make all calculations related to the Earnout Payment and make such Books and Records and the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing such calculations available to the Company Members and their accountants and other Representatives at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice;

(ii) act in good faith with respect to the oversight and control of the business and affairs of the Surviving Corporation and each Company Subsidiary (together with any successor to the operations thereof), and shall not act in a manner that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of the Company Members to earn the maximum amount of the Earnout Payments;

(iii) subject to the terms and conditions of his Employment Agreement and his compliance therewith, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx shall serve as a Regional President of the Surviving Corporation after Closing, and, subject to reasonable and customary corporate governance, oversight, process and procedures and reporting obligations to the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation, the Parent and otherwise, Parent shall permit him (i) to manage the operations of the Surviving Corporation’s business and (ii) to hire, fire and determine the compensation and benefits of non-executive employees and employees earning less than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in the aggregate inclusive of salary, bonuses and other compensation. All other hiring, firing and compensation decisions shall be subject to the Approval of the Board of Directors of Parent;

(iv) not sell or transfer substantially all or any material potion of the assets (whether by sale of stock, merger, consolidation or otherwise) of the Surviving Corporation or any Company Subsidiary or otherwise adopt any plan of merger, consolidation, reorganization (or similar plan or change of control transaction), liquidation or dissolution or filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to the Surviving Corporation or any Company Subsidiary under any provisions of federal or state bankruptcy Applicable Law or consent to the filing of any bankruptcy petition against the Surviving Corporation under any similar Applicable Law;

(v) continue the business of the Surviving Corporation and each Company Subsidiary and provide adequate capital for such continued operations and growth;

(vi) not allocate any overhead of Parent and/or its respective Affiliates to the Surviving Corporation and/or any Company Subsidiary;

(vii) not divert or defer any income, revenue or expense of the Surviving Corporation and/or any Company Subsidiary from one accounting period to another for the purpose of reducing the Earnout Payment;

(viii) not divert any sales or income away from the Surviving Corporation and/or any Company Subsidiary to any other Person that competes, directly or indirectly, with the business of the Company and/or any Company Subsidiary; and

(ix) use best efforts to promote the Surviving Corporation and each Company Subsidiary and preserve the goodwill of, and maintain satisfactory relationships with, those Persons having material business relationships with the Surviving Corporation and each Company Subsidiary.

In the event of any breach by Parent of this Section 1.14(h)(iii), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which decision, judgment, decree or other Order has become final and not subject to further appeal, the Earnout Payments shall become immediately due and payable in full.

(h) Earnout Payment Targets.

(i) If the EBITDA for Ironton is no less than the Ironton Target EBITDA for the Earnout Period, then, so long as the Earnout Threshold has been achieved, on the Earnout Payment Date, subject to such Company Member having provided Parent with an executed Accredited Investor Certificate as further set forth herein, the Company Members shall be issued the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (based on the applicable Parent Common Stock Price) equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).

(ii) If the EBITDA for Ironton is less than the Ironton Target EBITDA for the Earnout Period, then, so long as the Earnout Threshold has been achieved, on the Earnout Payment Date, subject to such Company Member having provided Parent with an executed Accredited Investor Certificate as further set forth herein, the Company Members shall be issued the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (based on the applicable Parent Common Stock Price) equal to: (y) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), multiplied by (z) a quotient, the numerator of which is (i) the actual EBITDA for Ironton for the Earnout Period, and the denominator of which is (ii) the Ironton Target EBITDA.

(iii) In the event that Parent determines that the Company Members are not eligible for the full Earnout Payment, Parent shall, within thirty (30) Business Days following the Earnout Payment Date, notify the Company Members thereof. Parent shall include in such notice a statement setting forth Parent’s calculations in reasonable detail of the Earnout Payment (including all components thereof), payable and during the thirty (30) Business Day period after the delivery of such notice, the Company Members, upon providing advance notice to Parent in writing, shall have reasonable access to the Books and Records of Parent and its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Surviving Company) to the extent reasonably related to its review of such calculations. If the Company Members dispute the Earnout Payment, and/or any component thereof, then the Company Members shall deliver to Parent a written statement (the “Earnout Dispute Notice”) describing with reasonable detail the basis for any such dispute within thirty (30) calendar days after receiving the statement calculating the Earnout Payment. If the Company Members do not deliver the Earnout Dispute Notice with respect to the Earnout Payment, as applicable, to Parent within such thirty (30) calendar day period, then the determination of the Earnout Payment shall be deemed final and accepted by the Company Members. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Company Members will use reasonable efforts and act in good faith to resolve any such dispute themselves. If such dispute is not finally resolved within thirty (30) calendar days after Parent’s receipt of the Earnout Dispute Notice with respect to the Earnout Payment, as applicable, either Parent or the Company Members may thereafter cause the Independent Accountant to review this Agreement promptly and the disputed items or amounts in determining the Earnout Payment, as applicable. The Company Members, Surviving Corporation and the Parent, as applicable, will provide the Independent Accountant access to the Books and Records of Parent and/or Surviving Corporation and their Affiliates related to the calculation of the Earnout Payment, as applicable (including all components thereof). The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert not as an arbitrator. Within twenty (20) calendar days after submission to the Independent Accountant for resolution, Parent and the Company Members shall each submit a written brief that indicates their position on each disputed matter and each such party’s determination of the amount of the Earnout Payment. The Independent Accountant shall make a written determination on each disputed matter no later than thirty (30) calendar days after submission to the Independent Accountant for resolution and such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Parent and the Company Members with respect to that disputed matter, absent fraud or manifest error. Such determination for each disputed matter shall be bounded by the amount proposed by Parent and the amount proposed by the Company Members. The proposed Earnout Payment, as applicable, will be finally calculated to reflect the resolution of any such claims pursuant to this Section 1.14(h)(iii). The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Parent, on the one hand, and the Company Members, on the other hand, on an inversely proportional basis, based upon the relative difference between the amounts in dispute that have been submitted to the Independent Accountant and the Independent Accountant’s final calculations. Solely by way of example, if Parent claimed that the Earnout Payment is One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), the Company Members claimed in the Earnout Dispute Notice that the Earnout Payment is One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000), and the Independent Accountant determines that the Earnout Payment is One Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,100,000), then Parent shall pay twenty percent (20%) of the Independent Accountant’s fees and disbursements and the Company Members shall pay eighty percent (80%) of the Independent Accountant’s fees and disbursements. Parent and the Company Members shall each pay their own fees and expenses related to such determination. Parent and the Surviving Corporation will provide the Company Members and their legal, accounting and/or financial advisors with reasonable access during normal business hours to all materials related to the preparation of and proper calculation of the Earnout Payment, as applicable, and shall make their financial staff and advisors available to the Company Members and their legal, accounting and/or financial advisors and to the Independent Accountant at any reasonable time during the review by the Company Members of the Earnout Payment, as applicable, and the resolution by Parent and the Company Members and/or the Independent Accountant of any objections thereto. Access to any work papers or analyses provided by Parent’s advisors shall be subject to their customary protocols for such access.

1.15 Tax Treatment. The Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. From and after the Effective Time and until the Closing Date, each Party hereto shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to qualify, and will not knowingly take any action, cause any action to be taken, fail to take any action or cause any action to fail to be taken which action or failure to act could prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization under the provisions of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code, with Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company each being a “party to the reorganization” in which no gain or loss is recognized by either party or the Owners (the “Agreed Tax Treatment”). Furthermore, the parties agree to treat the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement consistent with the foregoing for federal and all applicable state, local and foreign tax purposes, and to not prepare or file any Tax Return inconsistent with the Agreed Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the parties understand and agree that the consideration other than the Parent Common Stock will not be eligible for a “tax free” exchange treatment under Section 368 of the Code. Each of the Parties agrees to report the Merger transaction as such a reorganization and to comply with the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of Treasury Regulations 1.368-3.

In the event that an Indemnified Party has or claims to have incurred, paid, accrued, reserved or suffered, or believes in good faith that it may incur, pay, accrue, reserve or suffer, Losses for which it is or may be entitled to be held harmless, indemnified, compensated or reimbursed in accordance with the terms of this Article 7 in respect of an Indemnification Claim, Parent (on behalf of such other Parent Indemnitee, if applicable) or such Company Indemnitee shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Company Members or Parent, respectively. Each Claim Notice shall, with respect to each Indemnification Claim set forth therein, (i) specify in reasonable detail and in good faith the nature of the Indemnification Claim being made and (ii) contain a good faith, non-binding, preliminary estimate of the aggregate Dollar amount of Losses to which such Indemnified Party might be entitled (the aggregate amount of such estimate, as it may be modified by Parent in good faith from time to time, being referred to as the “Claim Amount”).

(ii) If the Parent (on behalf of a Parent Indemnifying Party) or the Company Members (on behalf of any Company Members Indemnifying Party) wishes to object to the allowance of some or all Indemnification Claims made in a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party must deliver a written objection to Parent or the Company Members, as applicable, within thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of such Claim Notice expressing such objection and explaining in reasonable detail and in good faith the basis therefor (an “Objection Notice”). Following receipt by Parent or Company Members, as applicable, of the Objection Notice, if any, Parent (on behalf of a Parent Indemnifying Party) and the Company Members shall promptly, and within ten (10) Business Days, meet to attempt to resolve the rights of the respective parties with respect to each Indemnification Claim that is the subject of the Objection Notice. If the Company Members and Parent (on behalf of a Parent Indemnifying Party) resolve the dispute that is the subject of the Objection Notice with respect to Indemnification Claims made by Parent Indemnitees, then as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) following the resolution of the Indemnification Claim, Parent and the Company Members shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay a certain amount (the “Stipulated Amount”). To the extent that the amount remaining in the Escrow Fund is insufficient to cover the full Stipulated Amount, then, subject to the limitations contained in Section 7.4, each Company Member shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of the joint written instructions, pay such Company Member’s Allocated Portion (as of the date of the joint instructions) of the amount of such shortfall to Parent. If the Company Members and Parent (on behalf of a Parent Indemnifying Party) resolve the dispute that is the subject of the Objection Notice with respect to Indemnification Claims made by Company Indemnitees, then as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) following the resolution of the Indemnification Claim, Parent shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company Members such agreed upon amount.

(iii) If Parent or the Company Members, as applicable, do not receive an Objection Notice with respect to any Indemnification Claim set forth in a Claim Notice by such party at the end of the thirty (30) Business Day period referred to in Section 7.5(a)(ii), (i) the applicable Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to object to such Indemnification Claim and to have agreed that Losses in the amount of the applicable Claim Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) are indemnifiable hereunder, (ii) as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) following the expiration of such thirty (30) Business Day period, Parent and the Company Members shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay the Agreed Amount to Parent from the Escrow Fund with respect to Indemnification Claims made by Parent Indemnitees; and (iii) if the amount remaining in the Escrow Fund is insufficient to cover the full Agreed Amount, then, subject to the limitations contained in Section 7.4, each Company Member shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of such thirty (30) Business Day period, pay such Company Member’s Allocated Portion (determined as of the seventh (7th) Business Day prior to the date when such indemnification Liability becomes payable under this Article 7) of the amount of such shortfall to Parent. If the Indemnification Claim was made by a Company Indemnitee, then upon the resolution of the Indemnification Claim, Parent, as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) following the expiration of such thirty (30) Business Day, shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company Members such Agreed Amount.

(b) In the event that the parties do not execute any joint instructions or resolve an Objection Notice, as applicable, within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt by of the Objection Notice or the parties do not otherwise receive the Agreed Amount, then Parent or the Company Indemnitee may commence an Action to resolve such dispute and enforce its rights with respect thereto in any court available therefor (such Action, a “Litigated Dispute”). Upon the resolution of a Litigated Dispute:

(ii) if the amount remaining in the Escrow Fund is insufficient to cover the full Award Amount owing to Parent, then, subject to the limitations contained in Section 7.4, each Company Member shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the entry of such final judgment, or such shorter period of time as may be set forth in such final judgment, pay such Company Member’s Allocated Portion of the amount of such shortfall to Parent.

(iii) So long as, and solely to the extent that, any amount remains in the Escrow Fund, the Parent Indemnitees shall seek to recover amounts in respect of any Indemnification Claims from the Escrow Fund prior to seeking to recover amounts in respect of such claims directly from any Company Member; provided, however, that to the extent any Loss Amounts are released from the Escrow Fund with respect to Indemnification Claims that are not subject to the General Cap, such Loss Amounts shall not reduce the amount that the Parent Indemnitees may recover with respect to Indemnification Claims that are subject to the General Cap. The amount, if any, paid by the Company Members to a Parent Indemnitee or Parent to a Company Indemnitee in respect of any Indemnification Claim hereunder shall be comprised of a combination of Cash, Parent Common Stock, or any combination thereof as reasonably determined by each Company Member; provided that (i) such determination shall maintain and be in accordance with the Agreed Tax Treatment and (ii) no more than fifty percent (50%) of such amount may consist of Parent Common Stock. Any amounts paid to a Parent Indemnitee by the Company Members hereunder with respect to any Indemnification Claim asserted on behalf of a Parent Indemnitee other than Parent, shall be received by Parent on behalf of such other Parent Indemnitee.

(iv) Prior to the Expiration Date, Parent will notify the Company Members in writing of the amount that Parent determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy all Indemnification Claims that are not fully and finally resolved (or if resolved, not fully paid in accordance with the resolution, if applicable) at or prior to 11:59 p.m. Colorado time on the Expiration Date in accordance with this Section 7.5 (such unresolved claims being referred to as the “Unresolved Claims” and such amount being referred to as the “Expiration Date Retained Escrow Amount”). Within five (5) Business Days after the Expiration Date, Parent and the Company Members shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund and shall deliver the amount, if positive, that is equal to: (i) the amount remaining in the Escrow Fund as of 11:59 p.m. Colorado time on the Expiration Date; less (ii) the Expiration Date Retained Escrow Amount.

(v) Following the Expiration Date, if an Unresolved Claim is finally resolved, then, Parent and the Company Members shall, within five (5) Business Days after the final resolution of such Unresolved Claim and the payment paid by the Company Member to Parent from the Escrow Fund for such Unresolved Claim, if applicable, execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund and deliver the amount, if positive, that is equal to: (i) the amount then held in the Escrow Fund following the date of such resolution and payment; less (ii) the aggregate amount that Parent determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy all remaining Unresolved Claims (which amount will continue to be held in the Escrow Fund).

(i) In the event an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) the Notifying Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such Third Party Claim (a “Third Party Claim Notice”), which Third Party Claim Notice shall be in writing and shall set forth in reasonable detail: (i) the Losses asserted against, incurred, sustained or suffered by the Indemnified Party; (ii) specify in reasonable detail why the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification from the Indemnifying Party for such Losses; (iii) the facts giving rise to such Third Party Claim and the amount or the method of computation of the amount of Losses of such Third Party Claim (if then known) included in the amount so stated; (iv) the date insofar as practicable each such item that has been or may be paid, incurred or sustained; (v) the provisions of this Agreement to which such item is related; and (vi) the amount of consideration sought to be delivered to the Indemnified Party in compensation for such Losses as of the date of such Third Party Claim Notice, to the extent known. The failure to give such Third Party Claim Notice shall not affect any Indemnified Party’s ability to seek indemnification hereunder unless, and only to the extent that, such failure has materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend successfully a Third Party Claim. Thereafter, the Notifying Party will give the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Notifying Party’s (or Indemnified Parties’, as applicable) receipt or delivery thereof, copies of all documents (including court papers) received or delivered by the Notifying Party (or Indemnified Party, as applicable) relating to any such Third Party Claim.

(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall respond, in writing, to such Third Party Claim Notice within fifteen (15) Business days after receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice (or within the shorter period, if any, during which a defense must be commenced for the preservation of rights), stating whether it agrees to assume the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to such Third Party Claim and will agree to contest and defend such Third Party Claim or whether it refuses to assume the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and/or to contest and defend such Third Party Claim.

(iii) If Indemnifying Party agrees to accept the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and defend and contest such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to contest and defend such Third Party Claim by so stating in its response. Reputable attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party employed by the Indemnifying Party shall conduct such contest and defense. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled at any time, at its own cost and expense (which expense shall not constitute Losses), to participate in such contest and defense and to be represented by attorneys of its or their own choosing. If the Indemnified Party elects to participate in such defense, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of such defense and shall defer to the judgment of the attorneys employed by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there is a conflict of interest that prevents the Indemnifying Party from adequately representing the Indemnified Party’s interests with respect to a Third Party Claim, (ii) a Third Party Claim seeks relief other than the payment of monetary damages, (iii) the subject matter of a Third Party Claim relates to the ongoing business of the Indemnified Party, which Third Party Claim, if decided against the Indemnified Party, would adversely affect the ongoing business or reputation of the Indemnified Party or (iv) the Indemnified Party would not be fully indemnified with respect to such Third Party Claim, then, in each such case, the Indemnified Party alone shall be entitled to contest, defend and settle such Third Party Claim in the first instance and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for its reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of outside counsel) for such contest, defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim.

(iv) If the Indemnifying Party agrees to accept the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to Losses incurred in connection with such Third Party Claim but either does not elect to assume or is prevented from assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim within the time period set forth, the Indemnified Party shall defend such Third Party Claim through counsel chosen by it at its own expense (and with the right of the Indemnified Party for indemnification of such expenses in accordance with this Article 7), provided the Indemnified Party will not admit to any liability or concede, settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall, at its own expense, cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party.

(v) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim: (i) the Indemnified Party will not admit to any liability, or concede, settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party will not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), if such compromise or settlement: (a) seeks relief other than the payment of monetary damages, (b) the subject matter of a Third Party Claim relates to the ongoing business of the Indemnified Party, which Third Party Claim, if decided against the Indemnified Party, would place a material limitation on the future operations of the Indemnified Party, (c) affects in a manner materially adverse to the Indemnified Party any other Third Party Claim that reasonably may be expected to be made against such Person or (d) does not release the Indemnified Party (including the Notifying Party) from all liability regarding such Third Party Claim, other than any liability being satisfied by the Indemnifying Party hereunder

7.6 No Contribution. No Indemnifying Party shall make any claim for subrogation, indemnification, contribution, reimbursement or right of advancement from the Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses claimed by any Indemnified Party, and all such Indemnifying Parties hereby waive any such right of subrogation, indemnification, contribution, reimbursement or right of advancement from the Indemnified Parties it has or may have in the future.

7.7 Effect of Investigation. Notwithstanding the rights of the Parent Indemnitees to recover Losses pursuant to Section 7.2, Parent and Merger Sub are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would serve as the basis for a claim by any Indemnified Party against Company or any Company Members based upon a breach of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or breach of any of Company’s covenants or agreement to be performed by it at or prior to Closing. Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation, on behalf of themselves and all Parent Indemnitees, shall be deemed to have waived in full any breach of any of Company’s representations and warranties and any such covenants and agreements of which Parent and/or Merger Sub has such awareness at the Closing.

7.8 Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, except for (a) claims for actual fraud against any Indemnifying Party who committed, participated in or had actual knowledge of such fraud, (b) claims for equitable relief and (c) claims pursuant to any other agreement (other than this Agreement) entered into in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby, the rights to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Article 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

(c) By Parent if there shall be any action taken, or any Applicable Law or Order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Merger, by any Governmental Authority, which would: (i) prohibit Parent’s ownership or operation of all or any material portion of the business of the Company or (ii) compel Parent to dispose of or hold separate all or any material portion of the Assets of the Company, or materially limit its operation of the Company’s business, as a result of the Merger.

(d) By Parent if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of the Company and (i) the Company has not cured such breach within ten (10) Business Days after Parent delivers written notice of such breach to the Company (provided, however, that, no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot reasonably be cured) and (ii) if not cured within such ten (10) Business Day period and at or prior to the Closing, such breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, as the case may be, to be satisfied.

(e) By the Company if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of Parent and (i) Parent has not cured such breach within ten (10) Business Days after Company delivers a written notice of such breach to Parent (provided, however, that no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature cannot be reasonably cured), and (ii) if not cured within such ten (10) Business Day period and at or prior to the Closing, such breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.3, as the case may be, to be satisfied.

(g) By Parent, if between the date hereof and the Closing, a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

(h) By the Company, if between the date hereof and the Closing, a Parent Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Parent completes one or more Third Party Transactions and if this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) and all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VI (other than those other conditions that, by their nature, cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, but, which conditions would be capable of satisfaction if the Closing Date were to occur on the date of such termination) have been satisfied or waived on or prior to the date of such termination, then such termination may be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement, and the Company Members (acting together) shall be entitled, at their sole election, to either (i) any remedies available in law or equity (including special and indirect damages); provided, however, that in no event shall such remedies include punitive, incidental, or consequential damages, or (ii) such Company Member’s Allocated Portion of the Reverse Termination Fee (which fee shall be payable within two (2) business days after written notice of such termination, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company Members). If Parent fails to timely pay the Reverse Termination Fee when due pursuant to this Section 8.2, Parent shall pay to the Company Members interest on such amount at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the Reverse Termination Fee constitutes liquidated damages, and not penalties, in lieu of the Company Members’ actual damages resulting from the termination described in this Section 8.2(b). If the Company Members elect to receive their Allocated Portion of the Reverse Termination Fee, payment by Parent of the Reverse Termination Fee shall be the Company Members’ exclusive remedy for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub and the failure of the Transactions to be consummated, and upon payment of the Reverse Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 8.3(b), neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [ ], 2021 by and among Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (each, a “Company Member” and collectively, the “Company Members”), Futureworks LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (the “Company”), Greenrose Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined below). The Company Members, the Company, the Parent and the Escrow Agent may hereinafter be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as, the “Parties”. Capitalized but undefined terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Parent, Futureworks Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 12, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub and the Company will survive the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, the Company Members have executed a Joinder Agreement pursuant to which they have agreed to be parties to the Merger Agreement with respect to the indemnification obligations of Article 7 thereof; and

WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement contemplates the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the deposit by Parent with the Escrow Agent of cash and shares of Parent’s common stock in order to provide a source of funding for certain indemnification obligations and net working capital requirements of the Company as described in the Merger Agreement and the Parties wish such deposit to be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Escrow.

Appointment; Cash and Shares Placed in Escrow. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company Members hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent (a) $1,625,000 in cash (the “Escrow Cash”) and (b) one or more newly issued certificates representing such number of shares of Parent’s common stock with an aggregate value, based on the applicable Parent Common Stock Price, of $1,625,000 (the “Escrow Shares”), registered in the name of the Escrow Agent.

Escrow Fund. The Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares being held in escrow pursuant to this Agreement shall collectively constitute an escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) securing the indemnification, compensation and reimbursement rights of Parent, Merger Sub and the other indemnitees under the Merger Agreement.

Voting of Escrow Shares. Each Company Member shall be entitled to exercise all voting rights with respect to such Company Member’s Escrow Shares.

Investments. Unless otherwise instructed by the parties in accordance herewith, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Cash in one or more demand deposit accounts. While on deposit, the Escrow Agent can earn bank credits or other consideration.

Interest. The Escrow Cash shall be held in a non-interest bearing account.

Dividends, Etc. The Parties agree that any equity shares of Parent (“Parent Shares”) or other property (including ordinary cash dividends) distributable or issuable (whether by way of dividend, stock split or otherwise) in respect of or in exchange for any Escrow Shares (including pursuant to or as a part of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, reorganization or liquidation involving Parent) shall not be distributed or issued to the beneficial owners of such Escrow Shares, but rather shall be distributed or issued to and held by the Escrow Agent as part of the Escrow Fund. Any securities or other property received by the Escrow Agent in respect of any Escrow Shares held in escrow as a result of any stock split or combination of Parent Shares, payment of a stock dividend or other stock distribution in or on Parent Shares, or change of Parent Shares into any other securities pursuant to or as a part of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, reorganization or liquidation involving Parent, or otherwise, shall be held by the Escrow Agent as part of the Escrow Fund.

Trust Fund. The Escrow Fund shall be held in trust and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of Parent or Company Member. The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund until the Termination Date (as defined in Section 5) or earlier distribution in accordance with this Agreement.

Release of Escrow Fund.

The Parties shall act in accordance with, and the Escrow Agent shall hold and release the Escrow Fund as provided in, this Section 2 as follows:

Working Capital. If the Final Closing Net Working Capital, as finally determined, is less than the Lower Target Working Capital then no later than the fifth (5^th) calendar day following the earlier of acceptance of the Final Closing Net Working Capital or the resolution by the Independent Accountant of any disputed amounts, the Escrow Agent shall pay to Parent out of the Escrow Cash equal to the difference between the Closing Working Capital Adjustment and the Lower Target Working Capital in accordance with Section 1.11 of the Merger Agreement, based on a Joint Instruction (as defined herein).

Indemnification. The Escrow Agent shall make disbursements as provided in this Section 2.2 from the Escrow Fund to satisfy the Company Members’ indemnification obligations.

At any time prior to the Escrow Distribution Date (as defined below), as promptly as practicable, but in any event within five (5) Business Days after receiving (i) joint written instructions from the Parties (“Joint Instructions”) or (ii) written instruction from Parent attaching a final non-appealable court order from a court of competent jurisdiction (a “Court Order”) setting forth the indemnification amount and relating to the release of any Escrow Cash or Escrow Shares from the Escrow Fund, which shall be in equal proportion between Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares. The Escrow Agent shall release or cause to be released any such Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares in the amounts, to the Persons, and in the manner set forth in such Joint Instructions or Court Order.

On ________________, 20XX (the “Escrow Distribution Date”), the Escrow Agent shall, upon receipt of Joint Instructions, release the Escrow Cash and Escrow Shares then remaining in the Escrow Fund to the Company Members, less the amount in Escrow Cash and number of Escrow Shares equal to the Unresolved Claims. Following the Escrow Distribution Date, if an Unresolved Claim is finally resolved, then, Parent and the Company Members shall, within five (5) Business Days after the final resolution of such Unresolved Claim and the payment paid by the Company Member to Parent from the Escrow Fund for such Unresolved Claim, if applicable, execute and deliver Joint Instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund and deliver the amount, if positive, that is equal to: (i) the amount then held in the Escrow Fund following the date of such resolution and payment; less (ii) the aggregate amount that Parent determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy all remaining Unresolved Claims (which amount will continue to be held in the Escrow Fund).

For purposes hereof, each Escrow Share shall be valued at the Parent Common Stock Price as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Distributions. Whenever a distribution of a number of Escrow Shares is to be made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall requisition the appropriate number of shares from Parent’s stock transfer agent, delivering to the transfer agent the appropriate stock certificates accompanied by the respective stock powers that have been Medallion Guaranteed, and any other information or documents requested by the stock transfer agent together with the specific transfer instructions, as appropriate. Any distributions to Parent or the Company Members pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be made to the addresses set forth in Section 8.2 or to the bank accounts as provided by Parent or the Company Members.

Instruction is delivered to the Escrow Agent, whether in writing, by telecopier, email or otherwise, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instruction by telephone call back to the person or persons designated in Exhibits A-1 and or A-2 annexed hereto (the “Call Back Authorized Individuals”), and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be a Call Back Authorized Individual. To assure accuracy of the instructions it receives, the Escrow Agent may record such call backs. If the Escrow Agent is unable to verify the instructions, or is not satisfied with the verification it receives, it will not execute the instruction until all such issues have been resolved. The persons and telephone numbers for call backs may be changed only in writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent.

Fees and Expenses. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to receive, from time to time, fees in accordance with Schedule 1. In accordance with Schedule 1, the Escrow Agent will also be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent in the performance of its duties hereunder and the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

Limitation of Escrow Agent’s Liability.

Duties and Limitation of Liability. The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement only and shall have no duty under any other agreement or document, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall incur no liability with respect to any action taken by it or for any inaction on its part in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and duly authorized, nor for any other action or inaction except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In all questions arising under this Agreement and/or its interpretation hereof in conjunction with the Merger Agreement, the Escrow Agent may rely on the advice of counsel, and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Escrow Agent based upon such advice the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone. In no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for incidental, punitive or consequential damages.

The Parties hereby agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents jointly and severally for, and hold it and them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Escrow Agent, arising out of or in connection with the Escrow Agent’s carrying out its duties hereunder. This right of indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation of the Escrow Agent.

Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the release by the Escrow Agent of the final amounts held in the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 2 (the date of such release being referred to as the “Termination Date”).

Successor Escrow Agent. In the event the Escrow Agent becomes unavailable or unwilling to continue as escrow agent under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder by giving its written resignation to the Parties. Such resignation shall take effect not less than thirty (30) days after it is given to all the other parties hereto. In such event, Parent may appoint a successor Escrow Agent (acceptable to the Company Members, acting reasonably). If Parent fails to appoint a successor Escrow Agent within fifteen (15) days after receiving the Escrow Agent’s written resignation, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent. The successor Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent an instrument accepting such appointment, and the successor Escrow Agent shall, without further acts, be vested with all the estates, property rights, powers and duties of the predecessor Escrow Agent as if originally named as Escrow Agent herein. The Escrow Agent shall act in accordance with written instructions from Parent and the Company Members as to the transfer of the Escrow Fund to a successor Escrow Agent.

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

WHEREAS, immediately prior to the Closing, Holder is a holder of the Company equity in such amounts as set forth underneath Holder’s name on the signature page hereto; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and in view of the valuable consideration to be received by Holder thereunder, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which Holder may be eligible to receive shares of Parent Common Stock in the Transactions (all such securities, together with any securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such securities or into which such securities are exchanged or converted, the “Restricted Securities”) shall become subject to limitations on disposition as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Lock-Up Provisions.

(a) Holder hereby agrees not to, during the period commencing from the Closing Date and ending on the six (6) months anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”): (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Securities, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Restricted Securities, or (iii) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Prohibited Transfer”). The foregoing sentence shall not apply to the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by Holder (I) by gift, will or intestate succession upon the death of Holder, (II) to any Permitted Transferee or (III) pursuant to a court order or settlement agreement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union; provided, however, that in any of cases (I), (II) or (III) it shall be a condition to such transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to Parent an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Holder, and there shall be no further transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean: (1) the members of Holder’s immediate family (for purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such person’s spouse, the siblings of such person and his or her spouse, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents) of such person and his or her spouses and siblings), including pursuant to operation of law pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement or by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (2) any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of Holder or the immediate family of Holder, (3) if Holder is a trust, to the trustor or beneficiary of such trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust, (4) if Holder is an entity, as a distribution to limited partners, shareholders, members of, or owners of similar equity interests in Holder or (5) to any affiliate of Holder. Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by Parent that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

(b) If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and Parent shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, Parent may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities of Holder (and Permitted Transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

(c) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities, to the extent certificates are issued, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [●], BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”), AND THE HOLDER NAMED THEREIN, AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

(d) For the avoidance of any doubt, (i) Holder shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of Parent with respect to the Restricted Securities during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities, but subject to the obligations under the Merger Agreement and (ii) the foregoing restrictions on transfer will not relate to any transactions involving shares of Parent Common Stock acquired in open market transactions after completion of the Transactions.

(e) Holder acknowledges and agrees that the issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock are subject to the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee that any shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued to Holder.

Miscellaneous.

(a) Termination of Merger Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon Holder upon Holder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall only become effective upon the Closing. In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.

(b) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of Holder are personal to Holder and may not be transferred or delegated by Holder at any time. Parent may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor entity (whether by merger, consolidation, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise) without obtaining the consent or approval of Holder.

(c) Third Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any person or entity that is not a party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.

(d) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in New York, New York (or in any appellate courts thereof) (the “Specified Courts”). Each party hereto hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto and (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees 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 hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in Section 2(g). Nothing in this Section 2(d) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

(e) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 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 PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 2(e).

(f) Interpretation. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement; and (iv) the term “or” means “and/or”. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(g) Notices. All notices, consents, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered (i) in person, (ii) by facsimile or other electronic means, with affirmative confirmation of receipt, (iii) one Business Day after being sent, if sent by reputable, nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) three (3) Business Days after being mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail, pre-paid and return receipt requested, in each case to the applicable party at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

(h) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of Parent, the Selling Securityholder’s Representative and Holder. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.

(i) Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(j) Specific Performance. Holder acknowledges that his/hers/its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and Parent will have no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Holder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, Parent shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

(k) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and Parent or any certificate or instrument executed by Holder in favor of Parent, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Parent or any of the obligations of Holder under this Agreement.

(l) Further Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(m) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature or by email in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

FORM OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

FORM OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of [____], 2021 among Greenrose Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), each of the individuals listed on the signature pages hereto (collectively, the “Holders”), and each other Person who executes a Joinder as an “Other Holder” (collectively, the “Other Holders”). Except as otherwise specified herein, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A attached hereto. Capitalized but undefined terms used in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the Company is a party to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement,” dated as of March 12, 2021, by and among the Company, Futureworks Holdings, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and Futureworks LLC (“Futureworks”) pursuant to which, inter alia, Futureworks will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub being the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, the Company will issue the Holders shares of the Company’s Common Stock as further set forth in the Merger Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to provide the Holders with registration rights with respect to their shares of the Company’s Common Stock as set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:

Section 1 Demand Registrations.

(a) Requests for Registration. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at any time after the expiration of any applicable lock-up period in the Lock-Up Agreement, the Majority Holders may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration (“Long-Form Registrations”) or on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration (“Short-Form Registrations”), if available (any such requested registration, a “Demand Registration”). Each request for a Demand Registration must specify the approximate number or dollar value of Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the requesting Holders and (if known) the intended method of distribution.

(b) Notice to Other Holders. Within ten (10) days after receipt of any such request, the Company will give written notice of the Demand Registration to all other Holders and, subject to the terms of Section 1(e), will include in such Demand Registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice; provided that, with the consent of the Majority Holders, the Company may instead provide notice of the Demand Registration to all other Holders within three (3) business days following the non-confidential filing of the registration statement with respect to the Demand Registration so long as such registration statement is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement.

(c) Form of Registrations. Demand Registrations will be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the sale of Registrable Securities.

(d) Shelf Registrations.

(i) For so long as a registration statement for a Shelf Registration (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) is and remains effective, the Holders will have the right at any time or from time to time to elect to sell pursuant to an offering (including an underwritten offering) Registrable Securities available for sale pursuant to such registration statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”). A Holder may elect to sell Registrable Securities under a Shelf Registration Statement by delivering to the Company a written notice (a “Shelf Offering Notice”) specifying the number of Shelf Registrable Securities that the Holder desires to sell (the “Shelf Offering”). As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) business days after receipt of a Shelf Offering Notice, the Company will give written notice of such Shelf Offering Notice to all other Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities that have been identified as selling stockholders in such Shelf Registration Statement and are otherwise permitted to sell in such Shelf Offering. The Company, subject to Section 1(e) and Section 7, may include in such Shelf Offering any number of shares of Common Stock the Company desires to sell in such Shelf Offering and will include in such Shelf Offering all Shelf Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion (which request will specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within seven (7) days after the receipt of the Shelf Offering Notice. The Company will, as expeditiously as possible (and in any event within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a Shelf Offering Notice), but subject to Section 1(e), use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Shelf Offering.

(ii) All determinations as to whether to complete any Shelf Offering and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms of any Shelf Offering contemplated by this Section 1(d) shall be determined by the Majority Participating Holders, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Shelf Offering to occur as promptly as practicable.

(iii) The Company will, at the request of the Majority Participating Holders, file any prospectus supplement or any post-effective amendments and otherwise take any action necessary to include therein all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the Majority Participating Holders to effect such Shelf Offering.

(e) Priority on Demand Registrations and Shelf Offerings.

(i) The Company will not include in any Demand Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities (other than securities to be included by the Company for its own account, securities issued by the Company to the PIPE Investors in connection with the PIPE Offering or securities issued to other stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of any merger agreement entered into by the Company on or about the date of the Merger Agreement) without the prior written consent of the Majority Participating Holders. If a Demand Registration or a Shelf Offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and (if permitted hereunder) other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities (if any), which can be sold therein without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, then the Company will include in such offering (prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable Securities): (i) first, the number of Registrable Securities requested by the Holders to be included, which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the respective Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder; (ii) second, the securities that the Company proposes to sell; and (iii) third, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by the PIPE Holders which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the respective PIPE Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such PIPE Holder.

(f) Restrictions on Demand Registration and Shelf Offerings.

(i) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration or underwritten Shelf Offering within one-hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration or a previous registration in which Registrable Securities were included pursuant to Section 3.

(ii) The Company may postpone, for up to ninety (90) days from the date of the request (the “Suspension Period”), the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration or suspend the use of a prospectus that is part of a Shelf Registration Statement (and therefore suspend sales of the Shelf Registrable Securities) by providing written notice to the Holders if the Company determines that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any Subsidiary to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization, financing or other transaction involving the Company and upon advice of counsel, the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement would require disclosure of material non-public information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law, and (x) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such transaction, (y) disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to consummate such transaction, or (z) such transaction renders the Company unable to comply with SEC requirements, in each case under circumstances that would make it impractical or inadvisable to cause the registration statement (or such filings) to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the registration statement on a post-effective basis, as applicable. The Company may delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Demand Registration or Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 1(f)(i) only once in any twelve (12)-month period (for avoidance of doubt, in addition to the Company’s rights and obligations under Section 4(a)(vi)).

(iii) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Shelf Registration Statement as set forth in paragraph (f)(ii) above or pursuant to Section 4(a)(vi) (a “Suspension Event”), the Company will give a notice to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and such notice must state generally the basis for the notice and that such suspension will continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. Each Holder agrees not to effect any sales of its Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. A Holder may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice will be given by the Company to the Holders promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event.

(g) Selection of Underwriters. The Majority Participating Holders, with the consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, will have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer any underwritten offering in connection with a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering.

(h) Revocation of Demand Notice or Shelf Offering Notice. At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to a Demand Registration or the “pricing” of any offering relating to a Shelf Offering Notice, the Majority Participating Holders may revoke such notice of a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering Notice on behalf of all Holders participating in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering without liability to such Holders, in each case by providing written notice to the Company.

(i) Confidentiality. Each Holder agrees to treat as confidential the receipt of any notice hereunder (including notice of a Demand Registration, a Shelf Offering Notice and a Suspension Notice) and the information contained therein, and not to disclose or use the information contained in any such notice (or the existence thereof) without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally (other than as a result of disclosure by such Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement).

Section 2 Piggyback Registrations.

(a) Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act (including primary and secondary registrations, and other than pursuant to an Excluded Registration) (each, a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company will give prompt written notice to all Holders of its intention to effect such Piggyback Registration and, subject to the terms of Section 2(b) and Section 2(c), will include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) days after delivery of the Company’s notice.

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

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

(d) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company will have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2, whether or not any holder of Registrable Securities has elected to include securities in such registration.

Section 3 Stockholder Lock-Up Agreements and Company Holdback Agreement.

(a) Stockholder Lock-up Agreements. In connection with any underwritten Public Offering, each Holder will enter into any lock-up, holdback or similar agreements (which shall be identical in form and substance for all Holders) requested by the underwriter(s) managing such offering, in each case with such modifications and exceptions as may be approved by the Majority Participating Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Holder hereby agrees that in connection with any Demand Registration, Shelf Offering or Piggyback Registration that is an underwritten Public Offering, not to (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including sales pursuant to Rule 144), directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company (including equity securities of the Company that may be deemed to be owned beneficially by such Holder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC) (collectively, “Securities”), or any securities, options or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Securities (collectively, “Other Securities”), (ii) enter into a transaction which would have the same effect as described in clause (i) above, (iii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences or ownership of any Securities or Other Securities, whether such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such Securities or Other Securities, in cash or otherwise (each of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, a “Sale Transaction”), or (iv) publicly disclose the intention to enter into any Sale Transaction, commencing on the date on which the Company gives notice to the Holders that a preliminary prospectus has been circulated for such underwritten Public Offering or the “pricing” of such offering and continuing to the date that is ninety (90) days following the date of the final prospectus in the case of any underwritten Public Offering (each such period, or such shorter period as agreed to by the managing underwriters, a “Holdback Period”), in each case with such modifications and exceptions as may be approved by the Majority Participating Holders. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to any Securities or Other Securities subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 3(a) until the end of such Holdback Period.

(b) Company Holdback Agreement. The Company (i) will not file any registration statement for a Public Offering or cause any such registration statement to become effective, or effect any public sale or distribution of its Securities or Other Securities during any Holdback Period (other than as part of such underwritten Public Offering, or a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor or similar form which is (x) then in effect or (y) shall become effective upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any then outstanding Other Securities) and (ii) will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of Securities and Other Securities (including each of its directors and executive officers) to agree not to effect any Sale Transaction during any Holdback Period, except as part of such underwritten registration (if otherwise permitted), unless approved in writing by the Majority Participating Holders and the underwriters managing the Public Offering and to enter into any lock-up, holdback or similar agreements requested by the underwriter(s) managing such offering, in each case with such modifications and exceptions as may be approved by the Majority Participating Holders.

Section 4 Registration Procedures.

(a) Company Obligations. Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement or have initiated a Shelf Offering, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will as expeditiously as possible:

(i) prepare and file with (or submit confidentially to) the SEC a registration statement, and all amendments and supplements thereto and related prospectuses, with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, all in accordance with the Securities Act and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (provided that before filing or confidentially submitting a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to the counsel selected by the Majority Participating Holders copies of all such documents proposed to be filed or submitted, which documents will be subject to the review and comment of such counsel);

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

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

(iv) furnish, without charge, to each seller of Registrable Securities thereunder and each underwriter, if any, such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) (in each case including all exhibits and documents incorporated by reference therein), each amendment and supplement thereto, each Free Writing Prospectus and such other documents as such seller or underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (the Company hereby consenting to the use in accordance with all applicable laws of each such registration statement, each such amendment and supplement thereto, and each such prospectus (or preliminary prospectus or supplement thereto) or Free Writing Prospectus by each such seller of Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement or prospectus);

(v) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (provided that the Company will not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph or (B) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (C) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction);

(vi) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities (A) promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the date and time when such registration statement and each post-effective amendment thereto has become effective or a prospectus or supplement to any prospectus relating to a registration statement has been filed and when any registration or qualification has become effective under a state securities or blue sky law or any exemption thereunder has been obtained, (B) promptly after receipt thereof, of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus or for additional information, (C) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event or of any information or circumstances as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, subject to Section 1(f), if required by applicable law or to the extent requested by the Majority Participating Holders, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (D) if at any time the representations and warranties contemplated by any underwriting agreement, securities sale agreement, or other similar agreement, relating to the offering shall cease to be true and correct;

(vii) (A) use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on a securities exchange and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to arrange for at least two market markers to register as such with respect to such Registrable Securities with FINRA, and (B) comply (and continue to comply) with the requirements of any self-regulatory organization applicable to the Company, including without limitation all corporate governance requirements;

(viii) use reasonable best efforts to provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(ix) enter into and perform such customary agreements (including, as applicable, underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, participating in “road shows,” investor presentations, marketing events and other selling efforts and effecting a stock or unit split or combination, recapitalization or reorganization);

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

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

(xii) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, 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 the registration statement, which earnings statement will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

(xiii) to the extent that any Holder, in its sole and exclusive judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter of any Registrable Securities or a controlling person of the Company, permit such Holder to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to allow such Holder to provide language for insertion therein, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, which in the reasonable judgment of such Holder and its counsel should be included;

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

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

(xvi) cooperate with the Holders covered by the registration statement and the managing underwriter or agent, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, or the removal of any restrictive legends associated with any account at which such securities are held, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter, or agent, if any, or such Holders may request;

(xvii) if requested by any managing underwriter, include in any prospectus or prospectus supplement updated financial or business information for the Company’s most recent period or current quarterly period (including estimated results or ranges of results) if required for purposes of marketing the offering in the view of the managing underwriter;

(xviii) take no direct or indirect action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that to the extent that any prohibition is applicable to the Company, the Company will take such action as is necessary to make any such prohibition inapplicable;

(xix) cooperate with each Holder covered by the registration statement and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with the preparation and filing of any applications, notices, registrations and responses to requests for additional information with FINRA, NYSE American or any other national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are or are to be listed, and (B) to the extent required by the rules and regulations of FINRA, retain a Qualified Independent Underwriter acceptable to the managing underwriter;

(xx) in the case of any underwritten offering, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, and deliver to the underwriter(s), in the manner and to the extent provided for in the applicable underwriting agreement, one or more cold comfort letters from the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters;

(xxi) use its reasonable best efforts to provide a legal opinion of the Company’s outside counsel, dated the effective date of such registration statement addressed to the Company, (i) on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the closing date of the applicable sale, (A) one or more legal opinions of the Company’s outside counsel, dated such date, in form and substance as customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering or, in the case of a non-underwritten offering, to the broker, placement agent or other agent of the Holders assisting in the sale of the Registrable Securities and (B) one or more “negative assurances letters” of the Company’s outside counsel, dated such date, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering or, in the case of a non-underwritten offering, to the broker, placement agent or other agent of the Holders assisting in the sale of the Registrable Securities, in each case, addressed to the underwriters, if any, or, if requested, in the case of a non-underwritten offering, to the broker, placement agent or other agent of the Holders assisting in the sale of the Registrable Securities and (ii) customary certificates executed by authorized officers of the Company as may be requested by any Holder or any underwriter of such Registrable Securities;

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

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

(xxiv) if the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three (3) years, at the end of the third year, refile a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities, and, if at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, use its reasonable best efforts to refile the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 and, if such form is not available, Form S-1 and keep such registration statement effective during the period during which such registration statement is required to be kept effective.

(b) Automatic Shelf Registration Statements. If the Company files any Automatic Shelf Registration Statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Holders, the Company agrees that, at the request of the Majority Holders, it will include in such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B in order to ensure that the Holders may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement at a later time through the filing of a prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment. If the Company has filed any Automatic Shelf Registration Statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Holders, the Company shall, at the request of the Majority Holders, file any post-effective amendments necessary to include therein all disclosure and language necessary to ensure that the holders of Registrable Securities may be added to such Shelf Registration Statement.

(c) Additional Information. The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish the Company such information regarding such seller and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing, as a condition to such seller’s participation in such registration.

(d) In-Kind Distributions. If a Holder seeks to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of their Registrable Securities to their respective direct or indirect equityholders, the Company will, subject to any applicable lock-ups, work with the foregoing Persons to facilitate such in-kind distribution in the manner reasonably requested and consistent with the Company’s obligations under the Securities Act.

(e) Suspended Distributions. Each Person participating in a registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(a)(vi), such Person will immediately discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement until such Person’s receipt of the copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 4(a)(vi), subject to the Company’s compliance with its obligations under Section 4(a)(vi).

Section 5 Registration Expenses.

Except as expressly provided herein (including, without limitation, Section 1(a)), all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the performance of or compliance with this Agreement and/or in connection with any Demand Registration, Piggyback Registration or Shelf Offering, whether or not the same shall become effective, shall be paid by the Company, including, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees, and any other fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the SEC or FINRA, (ii) all fees and expenses in connection with compliance with any securities or “blue sky” laws, (iii) all printing, duplicating, word processing, messenger, telephone, facsimile and delivery expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company or other depositary and of printing prospectuses and Company Free Writing Prospectuses), (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of all independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audit and cold comfort letters required by or incident to such performance), (v) Securities Act liability insurance or similar insurance if the Company so desires or the underwriters so require in accordance with then-customary underwriting practice, (vi) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange on which similar securities of the Company are then listed (or on which exchange the Registrable Securities are proposed to be listed in the case of the Company’s initial Public Offering), (vii) all applicable rating agency fees with respect to the Registrable Securities, (viii) all reasonable fees and disbursements of one legal counsel for selling Holders selected by the Majority Participating Holders, (ix) any fees and disbursements of underwriters customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities, (x) all fees and expenses of any special experts or other Persons retained by the Company in connection with any Registration (xi) all of the Company’s internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties) and (xii) all expenses of the Company related to the “road-show” for any underwritten offering, including all travel, meals and lodging. All such expenses are referred to herein as “Registration Expenses.” The Company shall not be required to pay, and each Person that sells securities pursuant to a Demand Registration, Shelf Offering or Piggyback Registration hereunder will bear and pay, all underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the Registrable Securities sold for such Person’s account and all transfer taxes (if any) attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities.

Section 6 Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) By the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law and without limitation as to time, each Holder, such Holder’s officers, directors employees, agents, fiduciaries, stockholders, partners, members, affiliates, consultants and representatives, and any successors and assigns thereof, and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including with respect to actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, and including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) caused by, resulting from, arising out of, based upon or related to any of the following (each, a “Violation”) by the Company: (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in (A) any registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free-Writing Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (B) any application or other document or communication (in this Section 6, collectively called an “application”) executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any securities covered by such registration under the “blue sky” or securities laws thereof, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance. In addition, the Company will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses result from, arise out of, are based upon, or relate to an untrue statement, or omission, made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free-Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Party expressly for use therein or by such Indemnified Party’s failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such Indemnified Party with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors, and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Indemnified Parties or as otherwise agreed to in the underwriting agreement executed in connection with such underwritten offering. Such indemnity and reimbursement of expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller.

(b) By Holders. In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any Losses resulting from (as determined by a final and appealable judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction) any untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

(c) Claim Procedure. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice will impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder only to the extent such failure has prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties will have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the Majority Holders, at the expense of the indemnifying party.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to, or is insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party or is otherwise unenforceable with respect to any Loss referred to herein, then such indemnifying party will contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Loss, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Loss as well as any other relevant equitable considerations or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) of this Section 6(d) is not permitted by applicable law, then in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative fault but also the relative benefit of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other in connection with the statement or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution will be limited, in the case of each seller of Registrable Securities, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue (or, as applicable alleged) untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if the contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account such equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to herein will be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject hereof. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Release. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(f) Non-exclusive Remedy; Survival. The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement will be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract (and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be considered the indemnitors of first resort in all such circumstances to which this Section 6 applies) and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Section 7 Cooperation with Underwritten Offerings. No Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that no Holder will be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such Holder has requested to include in such registration) and (ii) completes, executes and delivers all questionnaires, powers of attorney, stock powers, custody agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents and agreements required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements or as may be reasonably requested by the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s). To the extent that any such agreement is entered into pursuant to, and consistent with, Section 3, Section 4 and/or this Section 7, the respective rights and obligations created under such agreement will supersede the respective rights and obligations of the Holders, the Company and the underwriters created thereby with respect to such registration.

Section 8 Subsidiary Public Offering. If, after an initial Public Offering of the common equity securities of one of its Subsidiaries, the Company distributes securities of such Subsidiary to its equityholders, then the rights and obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement will apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Subsidiary, and the Company will cause such Subsidiary to comply with such Subsidiary’s obligations under this Agreement as if it were the Company hereunder.

Section 9 Joinder; Additional Parties; Transfer of Registrable Securities.

(a) Joinder. The Company may from time to time (with the prior written consent of the Majority Holders) permit any Person who acquires Common Stock (or rights to acquire Common Stock) to become a party to this Agreement and to be entitled to and be bound by all of the rights and obligations as a Holder by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Person in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (a “Joinder”). Upon the execution and delivery of a Joinder by such Person, the Common Stock held by such Person shall become Registrable Securities, and such Person shall be deemed a Holder.

(b) Restrictions on Transfers. Prior to transferring any Registrable Securities to any Person (including, without limitation, by operation of law), the transferring Holder must first cause the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder, except that such consent and Joinder shall not be required in the case of (i) a transfer to the Company, (ii) a Public Offering, (iii) a sale pursuant to Rule 144 and/or (iv) a transfer in connection with a Sale of the Company. Any transfer or attempted transfer of Registrable Securities in violation of any provision of this Agreement will be void, and the Company will not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Registrable Securities as the owner thereof for any purpose (but the Company will be entitled to enforce against such Person the obligations hereunder).

Section 10 General Provisions.

(a) Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and the Majority Holders; provided that no such amendment, modification or waiver that would treat a specific Holder in a manner materially and adversely different than any other Holder will be effective against such Holder without the consent of such Holder; provided further that the foregoing provision shall not apply to any amendments or modifications otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, including any required to add a party hereto. The failure or delay of any Person to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such Person thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. A waiver or consent to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement will not be deemed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement.

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

(c) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction, such prohibition, invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

(d) Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement contains the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

(e) Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and permitted assigns and the Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns (whether so expressed or not).

(g) Business Days. If any time period for giving notice or taking action hereunder expires on a day that is not a Business Day, the time period will automatically be extended to the Business Day immediately following such Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

(h) Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto will 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 rules or provisions that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

(i) MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED FOR INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (AFTER HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL), EACH PARTY HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
