In the event of any registration of any Registrable Securities or other debt or equity securities under the Securities Act, and in connection with any registration statement or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company and any of its subsidiaries pursuant to which securities of the Company and any of its subsidiaries are sold (whether or not for the account of the Company) or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company and any of its subsidiaries, including without limitation reports required or other documents filed under the Exchange Act, the Company will, and hereby does, and will cause its subsidiaries, jointly and severally to, indemnify and hold harmless each seller of Registrable Securities, any other holder of Securities or Legacy Warrant Securities who is or might be deemed to be a controlling Person of the Company and any of its subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, their respective direct and indirect partners, advisory board members, directors, officers and shareholders, and each other Person, if any, who controls any such seller or any such
-21-
holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such Person being referred to herein as a “Covered Person”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Covered Person may be or become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other securities or other law of any jurisdiction, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any registration statement under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any related summary or free writing prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or any other such disclosure document or other document or report, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Company and any of its subsidiaries of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company and to any of its subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or other document or report, and will reimburse such Covered Person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall be liable to any Covered Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action or proceeding arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary or free writing prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other such disclosure document or other document or report, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or to any of its subsidiaries through an instrument duly executed by such Covered Person specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof. The indemnities of the Company and of its subsidiaries contained in this Section 3.7.1 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Covered Person and shall survive any transfer of securities.
3.7.2 Indemnities to the Company. Each seller of Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 3, agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and any of its subsidiaries, each director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, each officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries who shall sign such registration statement and each other Person (other than such seller), if any, who controls the Company and any of its subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any statement in or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus included therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus or other document incorporated therein, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or to any of its subsidiaries through an instrument executed by such seller specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, free writing prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, or incorporated document. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any such director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive any transfer of securities.
-22-
3.7.3 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 3.7.1 or 3.7.2 hereof is unavailable to a party that would have been an indemnified party under any such Section in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each party that would have been an indemnifying party thereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such indemnifying party on the one hand and such indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof). The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or such indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.7.3 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentence. The amount paid or payable by a contributing party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 3.7.3 shall include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or 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.
3.7.4 Limitation on Liability of Holders of Registrable Securities. The liability of each holder of Registrable Securities in respect of all indemnification and contribution obligations of such holder arising under this Section 3.7 shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds to such holder (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions and all other expenses paid by such holder in connection with the registration in question) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by such holder pursuant to such registration.
3.8 Lock-up.
3.8.1 Without the prior written consent of the Company, for a period beginning ten calendar days immediately preceding and ending on the one hundred eightieth (180th) calendar day (in the case of the Initial Public Offering, or ninetieth (90th) calendar day in the case of any other offering, or such shorter period as the managing underwriter shall agree) following the effective date of the registration statement used in connection with any offering of shares of Common Stock by the Company, no holder of Securities (whether or not a selling shareholder pursuant to such registration statement) shall (a) offer, pledge, 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, lend, or otherwise Transfer, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such Common Stock or (b) enter into any swap or other management that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) above is to be settled by delivery of such Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Initial Public

4. REMEDIES.

7.3 Binding Effect, etc. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements or discussions with respect to such subject matter (including the Investors’ Agreement, which, for the avoidance of doubt, is hereby terminated in its entirety effective upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering), and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
-28-
representatives, successors and permitted assigns. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not supersede the Purchase Agreements, the Convertible Notes, the Pamplona Warrant or the L Xxxxxxxxx Warrant. No provision of this Agreement providing for the expiration of any provision by lapse of time or upon the occurrence of specified events or otherwise shall relieve any Person of liability for breach or violation prior to such expiration. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Company’s By-laws or Certificate of Incorporation (as amended or amended and restated), the terms of this Agreement will prevail and the parties hereto will forthwith cause any necessary alterations to be made to the Company’s By-laws or Certificate of Incorporation (as amended or amended and restated), as applicable, so as to resolve the conflict.
7.4 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall not be construed to define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof.
7.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by electronic or .PDF delivery), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument. Facsimile signatures and those delivered by other electronic means shall constitute original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement.
7.6 Severability. If in any judicial or arbitral proceedings a court or arbitrator shall refuse to enforce any provision of this Agreement, then such unenforceable provision shall be deemed eliminated from this Agreement for the purpose of such proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining provisions to be enforced. To the full extent, however, that the provisions of any applicable law may be waived, they are hereby waived to the end that this Agreement be deemed to be valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, and in the event that any provision hereof shall be found to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be construed by limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent consistent with and possible under applicable law.
7.7 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto (including the Other Investors) and any signatories to a joinder hereto, and nothing herein express or implied shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto (including the Other Investors), any signatories to a joinder hereto and their respective permitted assigns, (including any transferee of Registrable Securities from Pamplona or L Xxxxxxxxx, including upon transfer of their Convertible Notes or warrants in accordance with the terms thereof), any legal or equitable rights hereunder.
7.8 Specific Performance. Due to, among other things, the fact that the securities of the Company cannot be readily purchased or sold in the open market and for other reasons, the parties would be irreparably damaged in the event that this Agreement is not specifically enforced. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of the terms, covenants and/or conditions of this Agreement by any of the parties hereto, one or more of the other parties, in addition to all other remedies, shall be entitled to obtain (without any bond or other security being required) a temporary and/or permanent injunction, without showing any actual damage or that monetary damages would not provide an adequate remedy, and/or an award providing a decree for specific performance, in accordance with the provisions hereof.
7.9 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall take effect immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall have no force or effect until the Initial Public Offering. If the Initial Public Offering does not occur by [•], this Agreement shall be void and of no force and effect and all rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party hereto in respect thereof.
8. GOVERNING LAW.
8.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.
-29-
8.2 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party to this Agreement, by its execution hereof, (a) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of New York sitting in the County of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any action, claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or otherwise), inquiry, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof, (b) hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agrees not to assert, and agrees not to allow any of its subsidiaries to assert, by way of motion, as a 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 any such proceeding brought in one of the above-named courts is improper, or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (c) hereby agrees not to commence or maintain any action, claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or otherwise), inquiry, proceeding or investigation arising out of or based upon this Agreement or relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof other than before one of the above-named courts nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action, claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or otherwise), inquiry, proceeding or investigation to any court other than one of the above-named courts whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any party hereto is or becomes a party in any litigation in connection with which it may assert indemnification rights set forth in this agreement, the court in which such litigation is being heard shall be deemed to be included in clause (a) above. Each party hereto hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by New York law, and agrees that service of process by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof is reasonably calculated to give actual notice. The provisions of this Section 8.2 shall not restrict the ability of any party to enforce in any court any judgment obtained in the federal or state courts of the State of New York.
8.3 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO THAT THIS SECTION 8.3 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THEY ARE RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 8.3 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
8.4 Reliance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that he or it has been informed by each other party that the provisions of Section 8 constitute a material inducement upon which such party is relying and will rely in entering into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
