and general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal remedies.

5.1 Participation in
Registrations. Following an IPO, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act, whether for its
own account or for the account of another stockholder (except for the registration of securities (A) to be offered pursuant to an

the tenth (10th) day following the Company’s receipt of notice of exercise of other demand registration rights, or (ii) thirty
(30) days prior to the anticipated filing date. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company will include in the

holder’s receipt of the Company’s notice.
5.2 Underwritten Offerings. In the event a
registration giving rise to the Investor’ rights pursuant to Section 5.1 relates to an underwritten offering of securities,

the underwriter with respect thereto (the “Underwriter”). If the managing underwriter gives the Company its written
opinion that the total number or dollar amount of securities requested to be included in the registration exceeds the number or

priority: (A) first, all securities the Company proposes to sell; and (B) second, pro rata among all other holders of securities
(including the holders of Registrable Securities) that have registration rights, if any, in each case, on the basis of the dollar
amount or number of securities requested to be included, as the case may be.
5.3 Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to
the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable
Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall

successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar
as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or
final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed
by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other
jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application,
document or information herein called a “Blue Sky Application”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the
Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating
to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the
Registrable Securities included in any such registration in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken
or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Investor’s behalf and will
reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in
conformity with information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such
Registration Statement or related prospectus.
(b) Indemnification
by the Investor. The Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933
Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement
of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or related prospectus or preliminary
prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the
extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company specifically
for inclusion in such Registration Statement or related prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability
of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Investor in connection with
any claim relating to this Section 5.4 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement
giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Conduct of
Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party
of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such
claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder
shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the
indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person
or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists
between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying
party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party
shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of
any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder,
except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any
such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified
parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement that 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 of such claim or litigation,
(d) Contribution.
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient
to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater
in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this
Section 5.4 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
5.5 Cooperation
by Investor. The Investor shall furnish to the Company, as applicable, such information regarding the Investor and the distribution proposed
by it as the Company may reasonably request in connection with any registration or offering referred to in this Section 5. The Investor
shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of the registration statement with respect to
such registration, and for so long as the Company is obligated to file and keep effective such registration statement, shall provide to
the Company, in writing, for use in the registration statement, all such information regarding the Investor and its plan of distribution
of the Shares included in such registration as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Company to prepare such registration statement,
to maintain the currency and effectiveness thereof and otherwise to comply with all applicable requirements of law in connection therewith.
6. Transfer Restrictions.
6.1 Transfer or
Resale. The Investor understands that:
(a) Except
as provided in the registration rights provisions set forth above, the sale or resale of all or any portion or component of the Securities
has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and that all or any portion or component
of Securities may not be transferred unless:
(i) the Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the 1933 Act,
(ii) the
Investor shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Company, a customary opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance
and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred
pursuant to an exemption from such registration,
(iii) the
Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor
rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the Investor who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Section
6.1 and who is an Accredited Investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D,
(iv) the
Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144, or
(v) the
Securities are sold pursuant to Regulation S; and, in each case, the Investor shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the
Company, a customary opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account
or other lending arrangement.
6.2 Transfer
Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name
of the Investor or its nominee, for any Converted Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Investor to the Company
upon conversion of the Converted Shares in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”).
Prior to registration of the Converted Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Converted Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule
144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates
shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 3.6(A) or 3.8(v), as applicable of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall
affect in any way the Investor’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section 6.1 hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus
delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If an Investor provides the Company with a customary opinion of counsel,
that shall be in form, substance and scope reasonably acceptable to such counsel, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such
Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected, the Company shall permit the transfer,
and, in the case of the Converted Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive
legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Investor. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations
hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investor, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly,
the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 6.2 may be inadequate and agrees, in
the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Investor shall be entitled, in addition
to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
7. Conditions to Closing of the Investor.

entire agreement between the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings of the parties, oral and written, with respect to the subject matter contained herein.
9.4 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is
intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and, which is specifically
agreed to be and acknowledged by each party as a third-party beneficiary hereof, is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision
hereof be enforced by, any other person.

binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. Neither the Company nor any Investor shall
assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, but subject to the provisions of Section 6.1 and 6.3 hereof, any Investor may, without the consent of the Company, assign

All modifications, amendments or waivers to this Agreement shall require the written consent of both the Company and a majority in
interest of the Investor (based on the number of Shares purchased hereunder).
9.9 Applicable Law:
Disputes. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and
defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party
hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced
exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any
dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect
to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action, any
claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action is improper or is an inconvenient
venue for such Action. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such Action by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such
party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action to enforce any provisions of the Transaction
Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 5.4, the prevailing party in such Action shall be
reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the
investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action. For purposes of this Section “Action” means any notice of
noncompliance or violation, or any claim, demand, charge, action, suit, litigation, audit, settlement, complaint, stipulation,

party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed all such further acts and shall execute and deliver all such other
agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent
and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
9.11 Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute
one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed via facsimile or .pdf transmission, which shall be deemed an original.
