(i)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β in the case of an Optional Conversion, complete the conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the βConversion Noticeβ), and deliver such notice to the Company; provided, however, that a Conversion Notice may be conditional on the completion of a Change of Control or other corporate transaction as such Holder may specify;

Β
(iii)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β if required, pay any stock transfer, documentary, stamp or similar taxes not payable by the Company pursuant to Section 17.
Β
The foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) shall be conditions to the issuance of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock to the Holders in the event of a Mandatory Conversion pursuant to Section 7 (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not the Mandatory Conversion of the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock on the Mandatory Conversion Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder shall be required to physically surrender any certificate(s) representing the Series B-2 Preferred Stock to the Company until all shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock represented by such certificate(s) have been converted in full (the βFinal Conversionβ), in which case the applicable Holder shall surrender such certificate(s) to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days following the final Conversion Date (it being acknowledged and agreed that such surrender shall not be a condition to the Holderβs right to receive shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock upon, or the effectiveness of, such conversion; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to deliver a stock certificate representing shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock issued upon the Final Conversion until the certificate(s) representing the shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock so converted by the Holder shall have been surrendered). Delivery of a Conversion Notice with respect to a partial conversion shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original certificate(s) representing such shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock and issuance of a certificate representing the remaining shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock. In accordance with the preceding sentence, upon the written request of the applicable Holder and the surrender of certificate(s) representing shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days of such request, deliver to such Holder certificate(s) (as specified by such Holder in such request) representing such remaining shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock.

(c)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Record Holder of Underlying Securities as of Conversion Date. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Preferred Conversion Shares on a Conversion Date shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such Preferred Conversion Shares (including any fractional shares) as of the time of delivery of the applicable Conversion Notice (or, in the case of a Mandatory Conversion, 8:30 a.m., New York City Time, on the Mandatory Conversion Date). Upon receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of a copy of a Conversion Notice in respect of any Optional Conversion, the Company shall promptly send, via facsimile or electronic mail, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company's designated transfer agent (the βTransfer Agentβ), which confirmation to the Transfer Agent shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process the Optional Conversion. In the case of an Optional Conversion, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day (or, if earlier, the end of the Standard Settlement Period) following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of the Conversion Notice, the Company shall, on or before the Optional Conversion Delivery Deadline, issue and deliver to the Holder or its designee certificates, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, representing the aggregate number of Preferred Conversion Shares (including any fractional Preferred Conversion Shares) to which the Holder shall be entitled. In the case of a Mandatory Conversion, on or before 8:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Conversion Date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder or its designee certificates, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, representing the aggregate number of Preferred Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled (such delivery deadline or the Optional Delivery Deadline, as applicable, being referred to as the "Share Delivery Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as of the applicable Conversion Date, the Transfer Agent is a "qualified custodian" (as defined in Rule 206(4)-2 (or successor thereto) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended), in lieu of the Company's delivering certificates representing the Preferred Conversion Shares issuable upon the applicable conversion, the Transfer Agent (acting as the transfer agent for the Series B-1 Preferred Stock) shall, on or before the Share Delivery Date, electronically credit the aggregate number of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled by book-entry in the name of the Holder or its designee on the books and records of the Transfer Agent and deliver a statement thereof to the Holder.
Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β No Adjustment. No adjustment to shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock being converted on a Conversion Date or to the shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock deliverable to the Holders upon the conversion thereof shall be made in respect of dividends or other distributions payable to holders of the Class A Common Stock as of any date prior to the close of business on such Conversion Date (it being understood that the foregoing shall not limit any Holderβs right to receive Participating Dividends payable prior to such time or the operation of Section 10(a) in respect of events occurring prior to such time). Until the Conversion Date with respect to any share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock has occurred, such share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights provided herein.

Any purported delivery of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock upon conversion of any Series B-2 Preferred Stock will be void and have no effect to the extent, and only to the extent, that such delivery would result in issuance of shares of Series B-1 Preferred in excess of the Share Cap in violation of the listing rules of Nasdaq. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any conversion following the six-month anniversary of the Original Issuance Date, in the case of a conversion pursuant to Section 6, Section 7 or this Section 8, the Holder or the Company, as applicable, may request a conversion of a number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock that would result in the issuance of shares that, but for the Conversion Restriction, would exceed the Share Cap; provided, that, in lieu of any shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock otherwise deliverable upon conversion that would, but for the Conversion Restriction, exceed the Share Cap, the Company shall instead deliver to the requisite Holder an amount of cash per share of such Series B-1 Preferred Stock equal to the product of (x) the VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date, multiplied by (y) the Series B-1 Preferred Conversion Rate as in effect on such Trading Day (such payment, a βCash Paymentβ), payable within not more than thirty (30) days following the applicable Conversion Date (such date, the βCash Payment Deadlineβ); provided, however, that the Holder may not request the conversion of shares in excess of the Share Cap prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the Restricted Period Termination Date (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) and (B) if any, a Restricted Period Early Termination Event (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) following which the transfer restrictions in Section 5.3(a) of the Investment Agreement are not applicable to 100% of the Prohibited Shares (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) (following which the Holder may request conversion of shares that would, but for the Conversion Restriction, exceed the Share Cap, which shall be treated in accordance with the forgoing proviso); provided, further, that, for any conversion that would, but for the Conversion Restriction, exceed the Share Cap that is in connection with a Change of Control, in lieu of the price per share payable in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall instead deliver to the requisite Holder, at the same time as such consideration is delivered to the holders of Class A Common Stock, the consideration received by the holders of Class A Common Stock in respect of each share of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all of the Preferred Conversion Shares in excess of the Share Cap, and if such payment is in violation of the Nasdaq listing rules applicable to the Company, the Company shall instead deliver to the Holder converting shares in excess of the Share Cap that would be in violation of the Nasdaq listing rules cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such consideration.

(ii)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Covenant to Seek the Requisite Stockholder Approval. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval, including by seeking such approval, if not previously obtained, at each regular annual meeting of its stockholders occurring after the first Company Stockholdersβ Meeting (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement) and endorsing its approval in the related proxy materials.

Default Cash Dividends, if any, shall accumulate on a daily basis from, and including, the Cash Payment Deadline to, but excluding, the date upon which the required Cash Payment is made (whether or notΒ there shall be earnings or funds of the Company legally available for the payment of Default Cash Dividends or the Company declares the payment of Default Cash Dividends). Default Cash Dividends, if any, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 31 and December 31 of each year to the applicable Holder as it appears on the Companyβs Register at the close of business on the March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 preceding the applicable payment date.

CR1 = CR0 x (OS1 / OS0)
Β
where,
Β
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to (i) the close of business on (i) the Record Date for such dividend or distribution or (ii) the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification;

Β
where,
Β
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or other issuance;

Β
For purposes of this clause (ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to purchase the Class A Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the Current Market Price as of the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or issuance, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants, and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be the Fair Market Value thereof.
Β
Any adjustment made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately following the close of business on the Record Date for such dividend, distribution or other issuance. In the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board publicly announced its decision not to issue such rights, options or warrants to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution or issuance had not been declared. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Class A Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the dividend, distribution or other issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered.

where,
Β
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction;
Β
CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the effective date of the Distribution Transaction;
Β
FMV = the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average prices for a share of the capital stock or other interest distributed to holders of Class A Common Stock on the principal United States securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such capital stock or other interest trades, as reported by Bloomberg (or, if Bloomberg ceases to publish such price, any successor service chosen by the Company) in respect of the period from the open of trading on the relevant Trading Day until the close of trading on such Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market price of one (1) share of such capital stock or other interest on such Trading Day determined, using a volume-weighted average method, as mutually agreed between the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock or, in the absence of such agreement, as determined by an Independent Financial Advisor retained for such purpose by the Company), for each of the ten (10) consecutive full Trading Days commencing with, and including, the effective date of the Distribution Transaction; and

Β
(v)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β If the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect with respect to the Class A Common Stock on any Conversion Date, upon conversion of any shares of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Holders of such shares will receive, in addition to the applicable number of shares of Class A Common Stock, the rights under such rights plan relating to such Class A Common Stock, unless, prior to such Conversion Date, the rights have (i) become exercisable or (ii) separated from the shares of Class A Common Stock (the first of such events to occur, a βTrigger Eventβ), in which case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted, effective automatically at the time of such Trigger Event, as if the Company had made a distribution of such rights to all holders of the Class A Common Stock as described in Section 10(a)(ii) (without giving effect to the forty-five (45)-day limit on the exercisability of rights, options or warrants ordinarily subject to such Section 10(a)(ii)), subject to appropriate readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights prior to the exercise, deemed exercise or exchange thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such stockholder rights are exchanged by the Company for shares of Class A Common Stock or other property or securities, the Conversion Rate shall be appropriately readjusted as if such stockholder rights had not been issued, but the Company had instead issued such shares of Class A Common Stock or other property or securities as a dividend or distribution of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 10(a)(i) or Section 10(a)(iii), as applicable.
Β
To the extent that such rights are not exercised prior to their expiration, termination or redemption, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the occurrence of the Trigger Event been made on the basis of the issuance of, and the receipt of the exercise price with respect to, only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually issued pursuant to such rights.
Β
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10(a)(v), no adjustment shall be required to be made to the Conversion Rate with respect to any Holder which is, or is an βaffiliateβ or βassociateβ of, an βacquiring personβ under such stockholder rights plan or with respect to any direct or indirect transferee of such Holder who receives Series B-2 Preferred Stock in such transfer after the time such Holder becomes, or its affiliate or associate becomes, such an βacquiring person.β

(b)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Calculation of Adjustments. All adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be calculated by the Company to the nearest 1/10,000th of one (1) share of Class A Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th of a share, to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be required, unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that any such adjustment that is not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further, that any such adjustment of less than one percent (1%) that has not been made will be made upon any Conversion Date.

Β
(ii)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted as a result of the issuance of, the distribution of separate certificates representing, the exercise or redemption of, or the termination or invalidation of, rights pursuant to any stockholder rights plans.

The Company may, but shall not be required to, make such increases in the Conversion Rate and, if applicable, the Preferred Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by this Section 10, as the Board considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Company stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason.

Β
1.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Resale Shelf Registration Rights.
Β
(a)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Registration Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities. Pubco filed with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (βForm S-1β) for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the Investors of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Investors (other than OEP) (the βExisting Resale Shelf Registration Statementβ). Pubco shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration Statement is available (which replacement Registration Statement shall be deemed an Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement), under the Securities Act at all times until such date as all Registrable Securities covered by the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement, including the Registrable Securities held by the OEP Parties to be added to the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 1(b), have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn (the βEffectiveness Periodβ); provided, that Pubco may amend the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 1(b) and Section 1(c). Without limiting the foregoing or any of Pubcoβs obligations under this Agreement, the Company will take such actions, including filing supplements to the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as shall be necessary to ensure that the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement remains effective and available for the resale of all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or otherwise in respect of any Series B-1 Preferred Stock (in addition to all of the other Registrable Securities covered by the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement) in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth therein. The Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Investor to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement (subject to lock-up restrictions provided in this Agreement and in the Lock-Up Agreements), and shall provide that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Investors; provided, that Pubco may amend the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 1(b), Section 1(c), Section 1(d) or Section 1(e).
Β
Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the SEC no later than the date that is sixty (60) days prior to the Restricted Period Termination Date (as defined in the OEP Investment Agreement), either, at the sole discretion of Pubco, (x) a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act (provided, that such Registration Statement replaces and becomes the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement) or (y) an amendment or prospectus supplement to the Existing Resale Shelf Registration Statement registering the resale from time to time by the OEP Parties of all of the Registrable Securities held by the OEP Parties (such Registration Statement, as amended, the βOEP Resale Shelf Registration Statementβ). The OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not then available to Pubco, on Form S-1 or such other appropriate form permitting Registration of the Registrable Securities for resale by the OEP Parties. The OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit the OEP Parties to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the SEC then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement (subject to lock-up or transfer restrictions pursuant to Section [5.3] of the OEP Investment Agreement and in this Agreement), and shall provide that the Registrable Securities held by the OEP Parties may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the OEP Parties. Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, but in no event later than the Restricted Period Termination Date. Once effective, Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and useable for the resale of the Registrable Securities covered by the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement, including by filing successive replacement or renewal OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statements upon the expiration of the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement, until such time as the OEP Parties no longer hold Registrable Securities. The OEP Parties shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time when the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement is effective (subject to lock-up or transfer restrictions provided the OEP Investment Agreement and in this Agreement), to sell any or all of the Registrable Securities covered by the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 1(b), in the event of the occurrence of a Restricted Period Early Termination Event (as defined in the OEP Investment Agreement) prior to the date that is sixty (60) days prior to the Restricted Period Termination Date, Pubco shall use reasonable best efforts to file and cause to be declared effective the OEP Resale Shelf Registration Statement for the Registrable Securities with respect to which the lockup period has terminated within thirty (30) days following such termination.

Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Deerfield Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, but in no event later than the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) business days, following the resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following notification by the SEC that any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review, Pubco shall file a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement (to the extent required, by declaration or ordering of effective, of such Registration Statement or amendment by the SEC) to a time and date not later than two (2) business days after the submission of such request.

In addition to the Long-Form Registration provided pursuant to Section 2(b), each of (i) the Investors holding a majority of the Common Units not held by Pubco, (ii) the Investors holding a majority of the Founder Shares, (iii) the Investors holding a majority of the PIPE Shares (including any Common Stock issuable in respect of any Series B-1 Preferred Stock that was exchanged for PIPE Shares), (iv) the Deerfield Parties and (v) the OEP Parties, in each case, shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations in which Pubco shall pay all Registration Expenses whether or not any such Short-Form Registration has become effective; provided, however, that Pubco shall not be obligated to effect any such Short-Form Registration: (i) if the holders of Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other securities of Pubco entitled to inclusion in such Short-Form Registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities with an aggregate market price at the time of request of less than $5,000,000, or (ii) if Pubco has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected three (3) Short-Form Registrations for the holders of Registrable Securities requesting a Short-Form Registration pursuant to this Section 2(c). Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever Pubco is permitted to use any applicable short form registration and if the managing underwriters (if any) agree to the use of a Short-Form Registration. For so long as Pubco is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the offer and sale of Registrable Securities. If Pubco is qualified to and, pursuant to the request of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, has filed with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 (a βShelf Registrationβ), then Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after filing, and, if Pubco is a WKSI at the time of any such request, to cause such Shelf Registration to be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, and once effective, Pubco shall cause such Shelf Registration to remain effective (including by filing a new Shelf Registration, if necessary) for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such registration have been sold or distributed pursuant to the Shelf Registration or (ii) the date as of which all of the Registrable Securities included in such registration are able to be sold within a 90-day period in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Pubco may postpone, for up to 60 days from the date of the request (the βSuspension Periodβ), the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration or suspend the use of a prospectus that is part of any Resale Shelf Registration (and therefore suspend sales of the Registrable Securities included therein) by providing written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities if the board of directors of Pubco reasonably determines in good faith that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by Pubco or any subsidiary thereof to engage in any material acquisition or disposition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction or would require Pubco to disclose any material nonpublic information which would reasonably be likely to be detrimental to Pubco and its subsidiaries; provided that in such event, the holders of Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration or Takedown Demand shall be entitled to withdraw such request. Pubco may delay or suspend the effectiveness of a Demand Registration or takedown offering pursuant to this Section 2(f)(i) only once in any consecutive twelve-month period; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Pubco may in any event delay or suspend the effectiveness of Demand Registration or takedown offering in the case of an event described under Section 5(g) to enable it to comply with its obligations set forth in Section 5(f).

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

In connection with any Demand Registration, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering; provided that such selection shall be subject to the written consent of Pubco, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If any takedown offering is an underwritten offering, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer such takedown offering. In each case, the Applicable Approving Party shall have the right to approve the underwriting arrangements with such investment banker(s) and manager(s) on behalf of all holders of Registrable Securities participating in such offering.

Β

(a)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Pubco agrees to (i) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Investor and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, agents, affiliates and employees and each Person who controls such Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by (A) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (B) any violation or alleged violation by Pubco of the Securities Act or any other similar federal or state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to Pubco and relating to action or inaction required of Pubco in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and (ii) pay to each Investor and their respective officers, directors, members, partners, agents, affiliates and employees and each Person who controls such Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), as incurred, any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Pubco or any managing underwriter by such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 9 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of Pubco (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), nor shall Pubco be liable in any such case for any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action to the extent that it solely arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement or omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the registration statement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration statement. In connection with an underwritten offering, Pubco shall indemnify any underwriters or deemed underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities.
Β

Β
(b)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to Pubco in writing such information relating to such holder as Pubco reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Pubco, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives and each Person who controls Pubco (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such holder; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
Β
(c)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Personβs right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified partyβs reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (as well as one local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in the registration, at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party, in the defense of such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
Β

Β
(d)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Each party hereto agrees that, if for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Sections 9(a) or 9(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the partiesβ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders or any underwriters or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided in Section 9(c), defending any such action or claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The sellersβ obligations in this Section 9(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the amount of securities registered by them and not joint and shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration.
Β
(e)Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Β
10.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Personβs securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to any over-allotment or βgreen shoeβ option requested by the underwriters; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such holder has requested to include) and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, stock powers, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to Pubco or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder, such holderβs title to the securities, such Personβs authority to sell such securities and such holderβs intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to Pubco or the underwriters with respect thereto that are materially more burdensome than those provided in Section 9. Each holder of Registrable Securities shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by Pubco and the lead managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with such holderβs obligations under Section 4, Section 5 and this Section 10 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. To the extent that any such agreement is entered into pursuant to, and consistent with, Section 4 and this Section 10, the respective rights and obligations created under such agreement shall supersede the respective rights and obligations of the holders, Pubco and the underwriters created pursuant to this Section 10.
Β
11.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Other Agreements. Pubco shall file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and shall take such further action as the Investors may reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable such Persons to sell securities pursuant to (a) Rule 144 adopted by the Commission under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission or (b) a registration statement on Form S-1 or any similar registration form hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon request, Pubco shall deliver to the Investors a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Pubco shall at all times use its reasonable best efforts to cause the securities so registered to continue to be listed on one or more of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market. Pubco shall use its best efforts to facilitate and expedite transfers of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, which efforts shall include timely notice to its transfer agent to expedite such transfers of Registrable Securities.
