On January 18, 2024, AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (the
“Company”) announced strategic investments and commercial commitments from AT&T Venture
Investments, LLC (“AT&T”), Google LLC (“Google”), and Vodafone
Ventures Limited (“Vodafone, and together, the “Investors”), as well as
plans for additional capital actions described further below that, if completed, would, together
with the strategic partners commitments, result in up to $306.5 million in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company. The Company received
commitments for a total of $155.0 million from three strategic partners, consisting of $110.0
million in subordinated convertible notes of the Company and $45.0 million of commercial
payments (subject to the conditions described below). In addition, the Company plans to seek a waiver to permit
the draw of up to an additional $51.5 million under its senior-secured
credit facility with ACP Post Oak Credit II LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and Atlas Credit Partners, LLC,
as lender, and is launching a registered offering (the “Offering”) of $100.0 million
Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”). If the Company is able to draw
the remaining available amount under the credit facility, the Company will receive proceeds
of approximately $43.8 million after payment of fees, expenses, a required deposit into an interest
reserve escrow account, and other amounts. Whether the Company is granted a waiver and the timing for any drawdown is uncertain.
In addition, there is no certainty as to whether the Company will be able to complete the public offering on acceptable terms or at all
or if the Company does complete the offering, what the size or price per share will be.
The
information set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits attached hereto is not an offer to sell the Company’s
Class A Common Stock or any other securities of the Company and does not constitute the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities
in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.
Item
1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Convertible
Security Investment Agreement
On January 16, 2024, the Company entered into
a Convertible Security Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with AT&T, Google and Vodafone. Pursuant to
the Investment Agreement, the Investors have agreed to purchase the Company’s subordinated convertible notes for an aggregate principal
amount of $110.0 million (such notes, the “Notes” and such investments, the “Investments”).
The
Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each year, beginning
on June 30, 2024. The Company has the option to pay interest on the Notes in cash or in kind. If the Company elects to pay interest on
the Notes in kind, the principal amount of the Notes will be increased by the amount of the interest payment, and interest will accrue
on such increased principal amount in subsequent interest periods. The Notes will have a ten-year term unless earlier converted.
The
holders of the Notes (the “Holders”) may convert the Notes (subject to certain exceptions) at an initial conversion rate
of 173.9130 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $5.75 per
share of Class A Common Stock, representing a 39% premium to the stock price at the time of signing). Upon conversion of the Notes,
the Company will deliver shares of Class A Common Stock to the Holders. The Holders may convert their Notes at their option at any time
on or after January 16, 2025. The Holders will also have the right to convert the Notes prior to January 16, 2025 in the event that the
Company undergoes a fundamental change (defined to include change of control, certain mergers of the Company with another company, the
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, and liquidation). The conversion rate is also subject to customary anti-dilution
adjustments if certain events occur.
On
or after January 16, 2025, the Company may require the Holders to convert the Notes (subject to certain exceptions), at an initial conversion
rate of 173.9130 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $5.75
per share of Class A Common Stock) at its option, if the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price
then in effect for 30 consecutive trading days, on the immediately succeeding trading day after the last trading day of such 30 day period.
The
Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events of default. In the case of an event of default with respect to the Notes
arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on,
the Notes will automatically become due and payable. If any other event of default with respect to the Notes occurs or is continuing
(which include customary events of default, including the failure to pay principal or interest when due and the failure to comply with
other covenants contained in the Investment Agreement), the Holders of at least 60% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Subordinated Obligations (as defined in the Investment Agreement to include the obligations under the Notes) may declare the principal
amount of the Notes to be immediately due and payable.
Upon
the occurrence of a “fundamental change” prior to the conversion or maturity of the Notes, the Company is required to repay
the Notes immediately prior to the consummation of such fundamental change in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such
Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
The
Investment Agreement provides for the Notes to be issued on the closing date (expected to
be January 22, 2024) to the Investors in a private placement transaction exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”). The offer and sale of the Notes will not be registered under the Securities
Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.
The Investment Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, events
of default and acceleration provisions.
The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement are subject to customary and other closing conditions. If we
unable to consummate these transactions, it could have an adverse effect on our business.
The
descriptions of the Investment Agreement and the Notes are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete
text of the Investment Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference, and to the Form of
Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit B to the Investment Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Investor
and Registration Rights Agreement
On
January 22, 2024, in connection with the closing of the Investments, each of the Investors will enter into an Investor and Registration
Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Company.
Under
the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will grant the Investors certain registration rights with respect to their
Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). Among other things, the Registration Rights Agreement will
require the Company to register the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. The Investors will be entitled
to (i) make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their shares of Class A Common Stock (up to
a maximum of three demands) and only if the offering will include Registrable Securities with a total offering price reasonably
expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $50 million, and (ii) “piggy-back” registration rights to registration statements filed
in the future. The Company will bear all of the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statement.
In
addition, each Investor will agree to vote its Registrable Securities in accordance with the recommendation of the Company’s board
of directors in the event of any change of control transaction.
The
description of the Registration Rights Agreement is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the
form of Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item
2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
In
connection with the Offering, the Company filed a prospectus supplement, dated January 18, 2024 (the “Prospectus Supplement”)
with the SEC, which contains the following information
regarding the Company’s results of operations or financial condition for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023:
Set
forth below are the Company’s unaudited preliminary estimated results for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, and capitalized
property and equipment costs as of December 31, 2023, and Total operating expenses and Adjusted operating expenses for the three and
twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, and capitalized property and equipment costs
as of December 31, 2022, and Total operating expenses and Adjusted operating expenses for the three and twelve months ended December
31, 2022.
Adjusted
operating expense is an alternative financial measure used by the Company’s management to evaluate its operating performance as
a supplement to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted operating expenses as Total operating
expenses adjusted to exclude amounts of stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization expense. The Company believes
Adjusted operating expense is a useful measure across time in evaluating the Company’s operating performance as the Company uses
Adjusted operating expenses to manage the business, including in preparing its annual operating budget and financial projections. Adjusted
operating expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure that has no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, and therefore has limits in its
usefulness to investors. Because of the non-standardized definition, it may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures
of other companies and is presented solely to provide investors with useful information to more fully understand how management assesses
performance. This measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for its most directly comparable GAAP measure of Total operating
expenses.
The
following are the Company’s unaudited preliminary estimated results as of and for the three and twelve months ended December 31,
2023 and actual results as of and for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022:
|

of approximately $234.1 million to $242.1 million of capitalized property and equipment costs as of December 31, 2023 as compared
to $146.0 million of capitalized property and equipment costs incurred as of December 31, 2022; |
|
● |
Preliminary
Total operating expenses between $55.3 million and $61.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to $42.6

|

Preliminary
Adjusted operating expenses between $150.2 million and $154.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to

In
addition, in connection with the Offering, the Company will disclose the following additional information:
The Company is currently assembling and testing
its first five commercial BlueBird satellites (“Block 1 BB satellites”) at the Company’s facilities in Midland, Texas.
The Company has a dedicated orbital launch scheduled for five Block 1 BB satellites late in the first quarter of
2024. The exact timing of this launch is contingent upon a number of factors, including satisfactory and timely completion of assembly,
integrating and testing of the satellites, logistics, weather conditions, regulatory approvals, and other factors, many of which are
beyond the Company’s control. The Company has flexibility under the launch services agreement to reschedule the date of this
dedicated launch, subject to the launch vehicle provider’s launch schedule availability. As the Company approaches the launch
window, the Company will continuously assess the optimal timing for the launch to ensure that it has satisfactorily completed all required
pre-launch activities. Based on the current estimate, the Company believes the launch will occur in the second quarter of 2024.
The
information contained in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 are furnished and shall not be deemed to be filed for the purposes of Section
18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor will such information be deemed incorporated by

Update
on Legal Proceedings
The
Company received two books and records
demands pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 220 from two stockholders seeking certain information relating to the de-SPAC merger to which the
Company has responded. On December 27, 2023, one of those stockholders filed a putative class action lawsuit, Taylor v. Coleman, et
al. (C.A. No. 2023-1292) in the Delaware court of Chancery against the Company, certain current and former directors of the Company
and its predecessor entity, New Providence Acquisition Corp., and Abel Avellan (the “Delaware Class Action Litigation”).
The plaintiff in the Delaware Class Action Litigation purports to represent a class of investors and alleges that the Company aided and
abetted breaches of fiduciary duty by its former directors and purported former controllers, and breaches of fiduciary duty by the former
directors and purported former controllers, in connection with the de-SPAC merger.
The complaint seeks equitable relief and monetary damages.
A schedule for the case has not yet been set and the outcome of these proceedings is uncertain.

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASERS
At

1.
Authority. If such Purchaser is an entity, such Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement
in accordance with its terms. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.
2.
Consents and Approvals for the Notes Issuance. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or
filing with, or exemption or review by, any Governmental Authority is required on the part of the Purchaser in connection with the execution,

a party, except any consent, approval, order, authorization, registration, declaration, filing, exemption or review the failure of which
to be obtained or made, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to adversely affect or delay the consummation
of the Transactions.
3.
Suitability.
|
(a) |
The
Purchaser is either (i) a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act or (ii) an institution
that is an institutional accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act) and is aware that the
sale of the Note is being made in reliance on a private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Purchaser
is acquiring the Note (and any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note) for its own account, and not
with a view toward, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of any federal or state securities or “blue
sky” law, or with any present intention of distributing or selling the Note (or any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Note) in violation of the Securities Act. |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
The
Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Notes (and
any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note) and has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Note (and any shares of Class
A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note) and is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic
risks of such investment, including the risk of total loss of the Purchaser’s investment in the Company. The Purchaser acknowledges
specifically that a possibility of total loss exists. The Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as the Purchaser
has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. The Purchaser represents and acknowledges that the Purchaser has
adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Notes (and any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Note) and determined that the Notes (and any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Note) are a suitable investment for the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been provided a reasonable opportunity to undertake and has
undertaken such investigation and has been provided with and has evaluated such documents and information as it has deemed necessary
to enable it to make an informed and intelligent decision with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
The Purchaser understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Notes (and any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note) or made any findings or determination as to the
fairness of an investment in the Notes (and any shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note). |
4.
Unregistered Securities; Legend. Such Purchaser understands that the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law, by reason of their issuance in a transaction
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such laws, that the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and such laws or a
subsequent disposition thereof is exempt from registration, that the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes
shall bear a legend to such effect, and that appropriate transfer instructions may be issued. Such Purchaser further understands that
such exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of such Purchaser’s investment intent expressed herein.
5.
No General Solicitation. Neither the Purchaser, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners
has either directly or indirectly, including through a broker or finder (i) engaged in any general solicitation or (ii) published any
advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes.
6.
Brokers and Finders. The Purchaser has not retained, utilized or been represented by, or otherwise become obligated to, any broker,
placement agent, financial advisor or finder in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
7.
Foreign Purchasers. If the Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), the Purchaser
represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection this Agreement, including
(i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Note and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Note, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents
that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding,
redemption, sale, or transfer of the Note and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note. Such Purchaser’s
subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Note and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of the Note will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of such Purchaser’s jurisdiction.
8.
Compliance with Office of Foreign Assets Control. The Purchaser represents and warrants that the Purchaser is not (i) a person
or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s
Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and
administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated
National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515 or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services
indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (collectively, a “Prohibited Investor”). The Purchaser agrees to provide law enforcement
agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable Law, provided that the Purchaser is permitted to do so under applicable
Law. Purchaser represents that if it is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as
amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that

the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Purchaser and used
to purchase the Notes were legally derived.

retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to section 4975 of the Code or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental
plan (as defined in section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in section
4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state,
local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or an entity whose underlying
assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”)
subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, the Purchaser represents and warrants
that neither the Company or any of its respective Affiliates (the “Transaction Parties”) have acted as the Plan’s
fiduciary, or have been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Notes, and none of the Transaction
Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer
the Notes.
10.
Group Membership. Except as expressly disclosed in a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G (or amendments thereto) filed by such Purchaser
with the SEC with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock prior to the date hereof, the Purchaser is
not currently (and at all times through Closing will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a “group” (within the meaning
of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), including any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing
of equity securities of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act).
11.
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. The Purchaser will not acquire a substantial interest (as defined in 31
C.F.R. Part 800.244) in the Company as a result of the purchase and sale of the Notes hereunder such that a Declaration or Joint Voluntary
Notice to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would become mandatory under 31 C.F.R. Part 800. The Purchaser will
not have or otherwise obtain control (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.208) over the Company from and after the Closing as a result of

be deemed to apply equally to this Agreement and the Note and agreements of the Company hereunder and under the Note, and shall be
deemed to be incorporated into this Agreement and the Note mutatis mutandis, as if each reference therein to the other lender

AST
SPACEMOBILE, INC.
Convertible
Note
For
value received, AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [●] (hereinafter
together with his, her or its successors in title and assigns referred to as the “Holder”), on demand by the Requisite
Holders on or after [●, 2034] (the “Maturity Date”), the original principal sum of $[●], as may be increased
pursuance to the payment of PIK Interest (as defined below) pursuant to Section 1.1, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon as set forth below (the “Amount Due”), unless earlier repaid or converted pursuant to the terms and conditions
set forth below.
This
Convertible Note (this “Note”) is one in a series of convertible notes (collectively, the “Notes”)
issued by the Company pursuant to that certain Convertible Security Investment Agreement, dated as of [●, 2024], by and among the
Company and the parties thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
1.
Interest.
1.1
During the term of this Note, interest shall accrue on the Amount Due at an annual interest rate of five and a half percent (5.50%) (“Interest”),
commencing on the Initial Closing, payable semi-annually on each June 30 and December 30, commencing June 30, 2024 (each, an “Interest
Payment Due Date”). Interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Due Date, at the Company’s
option, either (i) in cash or (ii) by increasing the principal amount of this Note by the amount of such interest (with such increased
amount thereafter accruing Interest as well) on each Interest Payment Due Date (“PIK Interest”). In the event that
the Company elects to pay PIK Interest on this Note pursuant to this Section 1.1, the schedule attached hereto as Annex A
shall be annotated accordingly to reflect such increase to the principal amount on account of such payment of PIK Interest and the Company
shall pay interest on subsequent Interest Payment Due Dates on the basis of such increased principal amount.
1.2
If the Company intends to pay cash with respect to the interest due on any Interest Payment Due Date in accordance with Section 1.1,
the Company shall deliver a written notice of such election (a “Cash Interest Election”) to the Holder on or before
the third (3rd) calendar day immediately prior to the applicable Interest Payment Due Date.
1.3
If the Company has not delivered a Cash Interest Election with respect to an Interest Payment Due Date on or before the third (3rd)
calendar day immediately prior to the applicable Interest Payment Due Date, the principal amount of this Note will be increased by the
amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment Due Date, and the Company shall make a record on its books of such increase to reflect
such PIK Interest.
1.4
Interest hereunder will be paid to the Holder as provided in Section 2.1. All interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve (12) 30-day months and, for partial months, on the basis of the number of days actually elapsed in a 30-day month.
2.
Amount Due.
2.1
Payments. Payment of principal and interest (if required) shall be made in immediately available funds in lawful currency of the
United States of America at the offices of the Holder or at such other place as the Holder hereof shall have designated to the Company
in writing. Payment shall be credited first to any costs, expenses or charges then payable to the Holder, then to accrued interest then
due and payable, and then to principal.
2.2
Notes Pari Passu. Each of the Notes shall rank equally without preference or priority of any kind over one another, and all payments
and recoveries payable on account of principal and interest on the Notes shall be paid and applied ratably and proportionately on the
Amount Due on all outstanding Notes on the basis of their original principal amount.
2.3
Prepayment. Subject to Section 2.4, this Note may not be prepaid without the written consent of the Requisite Holders.
Any such approved prepayment must be made in accordance with Section 2.2 above.
2.4
Fundamental Change. In the event of a Fundamental Change, the Note shall be due and payable immediately prior to the consummation
or occurrence, as applicable, in an amount equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount outstanding on the Note, plus (ii) all accrued
and unpaid interest thereon. The Company shall deliver to all Holders on or before the tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the consummation
of such Fundamental Change a Fundamental Change Notice. No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notice and no defect therein
shall limit the Company’s obligation to repay the Note or affect the Holders’ right to convert its Note, as applicable, in
accordance with this Section 2.4. If a Fundamental Change event occurs at any time within the twelve (12) months following the Initial
Closing, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to convert, in whole or in part, the principal outstanding under
this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, pursuant to the conversion mechanics set forth in Section 4.1
notwithstanding the fact that such conversion would occur during the twelve (12) month period following the Initial Closing; it being
understood that such conversion shall be permissible solely to the extent all Governmental Approvals, if applicable to the Holder, shall
have been obtained and effective as of the date such Notes are converted.
3.
Event of Default. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of
Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order
of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such case (other
than an Event of Default specified in clause f) or g) of “Event of Default” under ARTICLE I, Section 5 of the Purchase
Agreement with respect to the Company), unless the principal of all of the Subordinated Obligations (as defined below) shall have already
become due and payable, the Requisite Holders by notice in writing to the Company may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and
unpaid interest on, all the Subordinated Obligations to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall
become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything in the Subordinated Obligations contained to the contrary notwithstanding.
If an Event of Default specified in clauses f) or g) of “Event of Default” under ARTICLE I, Section 5 of the Purchase
Agreement with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on,
all Subordinated Obligations shall automatically be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of any
Holder.
4.
Conversion.
4.1
Optional Conversion by the Holders. Subject to (i) Section 2.4 and (ii) Section 4.5, at any time after twelve (12)
months following the Initial Closing, the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to convert, in whole or in part,
the principal outstanding under this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon (such portion of the principal outstanding
elected to be converted, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, the “Converted Outstanding Balance”),
into that number of validly issued and fully paid shares of Class A Common Stock determined by dividing the Converted Outstanding Balance
by the conversion price of $5.75 (as proportionately increased or decreased as necessary to reflect the proportionate change in the shares
of Class A Common Stock as a result of any stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, combinations, consolidations or the like)
(the “Conversion Price”). The Holder’s election to convert this Note, in whole or in part, into (i) shares of
Class A Common Stock and, if applicable, (ii) in the event of a partial conversion, a new Note with the same terms as this Note, with
a principal amount equal to (A) the Amount Due immediately prior to the delivery of the Holder Conversion Notice, minus (B) the Converted
Outstanding Balance (such new Company Note, a “New Note”), pursuant to this Section 4 shall be effective upon
(1) the receipt by the Company of written notice in accordance with Section 12 (a “Holder Conversion Notice”),
which shall be irrevocable, and (2) the cancellation of this Note by the Company, which shall be deemed to occur automatically upon receipt
by the Company of a Holder Conversion Notice (regardless of whether this Note has been surrendered by the Holder).
4.2
Optional Conversion by the Company. Subject to (i) the satisfaction of the Governmental Approvals, if applicable with respect
to the Holder, and (ii) Section 4.5, if at any time after twelve (12) months following the Initial Closing, the VWAP of the Company’s
shares of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Conversion Price (as proportionately increased
or decreased as necessary to reflect the proportionate change in the shares of Class A Common Stock as a result of any stock dividends,
stock splits, recapitalizations, combinations, consolidations or the like) for thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days, prior to the date
of the Company Conversion Notice (as defined below), the Company shall have the right on the immediately succeeding Trading Day after
the last Trading Day of such 30-Trading Day period, at the Company’s option, to cause the Holder to convert, in whole or in part,
the principal outstanding under this Note, together with the Converted Outstanding Balance, into that number of validly issued and fully
paid shares of Class A Common Stock determined by dividing the Converted Outstanding Balance by the conversion price of the Conversion
Price (as proportionately increased or decreased as necessary to reflect the proportionate change in the shares of Class A Common Stock
as a result of any stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, combinations, consolidations or the like). The Company’s election
to cause the Holder to convert this Note, in whole or in part, into (a) shares of Class A Common Stock and (b) in the event of a partial
conversion, a New Note with the same terms as this Note, with a principal amount equal to (x) the Amount Due immediately prior to the
delivery of the Company Conversion Notice, minus (y) the Converted Outstanding Balance, pursuant to this Section 4 shall be effective
upon (i) the receipt by the Holder of written notice in accordance with Section 11 (a “Company Conversion Notice”),
which shall be irrevocable, and (ii) the cancellation of this Note by the Company, which shall be deemed to occur automatically upon
receipt by the Holder of a Company Conversion Notice (regardless of whether this Note has been surrendered by the Holder). Each of the
Holder and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done, all
things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain all necessary Governmental Approvals, if applicable with respect to the Holder.
4.3
Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of any of the Company’s
equity securities, including the Class A Common Stock, will be issued in connection with any conversion of this Note and if a fractional
share results from the conversion of the Note, the Company will round down to the nearest whole share.
4.4
Certificate or Book Entry Statement. As promptly as practicable
after the conversion of this Note, the Company at its expense will issue and deliver to the Holder, upon surrender of the Note, a certificate
or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, or if such shares of Class A Common
Stock are to be issued in unregistered form, a book entry confirmation statement from the Company’s transfer agent confirming the
issuance of the shares of Class A Common Stock.
4.5
Holder’s Conversion Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the Company shall not
effect any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4.2 with respect to a Note held by any Holder who, together with its Affiliates,
holds less than $100,000,000 in aggregate principle amount of the Notes, and any Holder who, together with its Affiliates, holds less
than $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall not effect any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 4.1,
in either case, into shares of Class A Common Stock to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion the aggregate number of
shares of Class A Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership
of shares of Class A Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act would
exceed 4.99% (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class
A Common Stock; provided, that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall only apply to the extent that the Class A Common Stock is deemed
to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1 under the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Note, in determining
the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, such Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as
reflected in (i) the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, filed
with the SEC prior to the date hereof, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) any other notice by the Company
or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of such Holder, the Company
shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm in writing or by electronic mail to such Holder the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the
conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by such Holder and its Affiliates since the date as of which
such number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, such Holder may from time to
time increase or decrease the maximum percentage to any other percentage specified not in excess of 9.99% in such notice; provided that
any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. For purposes
of this Section 4.5, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock or voting securities beneficially owned by such Holder and
its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s
for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act shall include the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this
Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Class A Common Stock which would
be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining unconverted portion of this Note by such Holder and (ii) exercise or conversion of the
unexercised, non-converted or non-cancelled portion of any other securities of the Company that do not have voting power (including,
without limitation, any securities of the Company which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time shares of Class A Common
Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible
into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, shares of Class A Common Stock), is subject
to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein and is beneficially owned by such Holder or any
of its Affiliates and other Persons whose beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s
for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
4.6
Conversion Price Adjustment. If, within 12 months of the Initial Closing, the Company in any manner issues or sells (excluding
the issuance or sale of restricted share or restricted share units, or options to employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant
to any share or option plan duly adopted for such purpose) any Qualified Convertible Security and the lowest price per share for which
one share of Class A Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the then Conversion Price
(a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Conversion Price for all purposes, including for the avoidance of doubt Section
4.2, shall be reduced to the lowest price per share for which one share of Class A Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise
or exchange thereof in connection with such Dilutive Issuance.
5.
[RESERVED].
6.
No Set-Off. All payments by the Company under this Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and be without any deduction
or withholding for any taxes or fees of any nature, unless the obligation to make such deduction or withholding is imposed by law, in
which case the Company shall make any withholding required by law.
7.
Subordination.
7.1
To induce one or more lenders to extend credit to the Company, and for the benefit of such lenders, the Holder agrees, by its acceptance
of this Note, for itself and for each future holder (if any) of this Note, that the obligations evidenced by this Note are expressly
subordinate and junior in right of payment to all indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company (other than the Notes) under any agreement
or contract with any senior creditor, including principal amounts and accrued interest and/or profit, as the case may be (including,
without limitation, any interest and/or profit, as the case may be, that accrues after the commencement of any case, proceeding or other
action relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company) (the “Senior Obligations”). For purposes
of this Note, “subordinate and junior in right of payment” shall mean that no part of the Subordinated Obligations shall
have any claim to the Company’s assets on a parity with or prior to the claim of the Senior Obligations. From and after the date
of receipt of notice from any senior creditor of any default with respect to any of the Senior Obligations, the Subordinated Creditor
(as defined below) shall not ask for, demand, sue for, take or receive any payments with respect to all or any part of the Subordinated
Obligations or any security therefor, whether from the Company or any other source, unless and until the Senior Obligations have been
paid in full. The Subordinated Creditor further agrees that upon any distribution of money or assets, or readjustment of the indebtedness
of the Company whether by reason of foreclosure, liquidation, composition, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the
benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the Subordinated Obligations, or the application of the assets of the
Company to the payment or liquidation thereof, the senior creditors shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all of the
Senior Obligations prior to the payment of any part of the Subordinated Obligations.
7.2
If, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1 of this Note, any payment or distribution of any character (whether in cash,
securities or other property) or any security shall be received by the Subordinated Creditor, in each case, in respect of this Note,
in contravention of Section 7.1, and before all the Senior Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other
than contingent obligations for which no claim or demand has been made), such payment, distribution or security shall be held in trust
for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over or delivered or transferred to, the senior creditors or the agent for the senior
creditors for the benefit of the senior creditors, as applicable. Such payments received by the Subordinated Creditor and delivered to
the senior creditors or the agent for the senior creditors, as applicable, shall be deemed not to be a payment on this Note for any reason
whatsoever and the indebtedness under this Note shall remain as if such erroneous payment had never been paid by the Company or received
by the Subordinated Creditor. In the event of the failure of the Subordinated Creditor to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution
or security, a senior creditor is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same.
8.
Treatment of the Notes. The Company and the Holder agree, unless otherwise required by a change in applicable law or by a determination
(as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code), (i) not to treat this Note as a “contingent payment debt instruments” governed
by Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4, and (ii) not to file any tax return, statement, report or declaration inconsistent with the
foregoing.
9.
Transfers; Successors and Assigns.
9.1
This Note, and the obligations and rights of the parties hereunder, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the
holder of this Note, and their respective heirs, successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Company may not transfer or assign
its obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, without the written consent of the Requisite Holders; and provided further
that the Holder may not transfer or assign its rights hereunder, by operation of law of otherwise, except to an Affiliate, without the
consent of the Company. Any purported transfer by a Holder in violation of this paragraph shall be void ab initio.
9.2
Notwithstanding anything else in this Note to the contrary, the right of any Holder (or transferee) to receive principal or interest
payments under this Note may be transferred only through the surrender of the current Note and reissuance of a new note by the Company
pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph. The foregoing language is intended to cause the Note to be in “registered form”
as defined in Treasury Regulations Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c) and shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith.
10.
No Rights or Liabilities as Stockholder; No Personal Liability. This Note does not by itself entitle the Holder to any voting
rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In the absence of conversion of this Note, no provisions of this Note, and no
enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall cause the Holder to be a stockholder of the Company for any purpose.
Holder agrees that no stockholder, director or officer of the Company shall have any personal liability for the repayment of this Note.
11.
Amendment. This Note may be amended or modified, or compliance with any term, covenant, agreement, condition or provision set
forth herein may be omitted or waived, either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively, upon written
consent of the Company and the Requisite Holders; provided, however, that (i) no such change, addition, omission or waiver shall reduce
the principal or interest rate on any Note, without the consent of the holder thereof and (ii) no amendment shall be effective against
a Holder which materially and adversely affects such Holder’s rights under such Holder’s Notes in a manner that is adverse
to and materially different from the effect on other Holders of the Notes, without such Holder’s written consent.
12.
Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed
effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt or: (i) personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent, if sent by
electronic mail during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not sent during normal business hours, then on the recipient’s
next Business Day, (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
or (iv) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, freight prepaid, specifying next Business
Day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the respective parties at their address as set
forth on their signature pages to the Purchase Agreement, or to such e-mail address or address as subsequently modified by written notice
given in accordance with this Section 11. If notice is given to the Company, a copy shall also be sent to Sullivan & Cromwell LLP,
125 Broad Street, New York, NY 10004, Attn: Jared Fishman, which copy shall not constitute notice.
13.
Severability. If one or more provisions of this Note are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be
excluded from this Note and the balance of the Note shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable
in accordance with its terms.
14.
Governing Law. This Note and the obligations of the Company hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted and determined in accordance
with, the laws of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware (excluding the laws and rules of law
applicable to conflicts or choice of law).
15.
Intercreditor Provisions. This Note constitutes a part of a series of obligations, together with all other Notes issued under
this series (collectively, the “Subordinated Obligations”, and each holder or lender thereof, a “Subordinated
Creditor”). By accepting this Note, the Subordinated Creditor hereof agrees that any and all payments under the Subordinated
Obligations as between all Subordinated Creditors shall be paid equally and ratably. Furthermore, without the approval or joinder of
the Requisite Holders, no Subordinated Creditor may accelerate the obligations of the Company under its Subordinated Obligations and
commence and complete the exercise of all of its other rights and remedies thereunder. No Subordinated Creditor has an obligation to
the other Subordinated Creditors to take any steps with regard to the enforcement or protection of other Subordinated Creditors’
rights to the security for its Subordinated Obligation. In the event of a default by the Company under any Subordinated Obligation, should
any payment, distribution or security or proceeds be received by a Subordinated Creditor upon or with respect to such Subordinated Creditor’s
Subordinated Obligation prior to the satisfaction in full of the default, such Subordinated Creditor shall immediately deliver the same
equally and ratably to all Subordinated Creditors in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by such Subordinated Creditor
where required), for ratable application on the Subordinated Obligations (whether or not then due) and, until so delivered, the same
shall be held in trust on behalf of all Subordinated Creditors by such Subordinated Creditor as the property of all Subordinated Creditors.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may not prepay a Subordinated Obligation at any time in whole or in part,
unless (i) no default exists under the Subordinated Obligations, (ii) such payment on the Subordinated Obligations will be paid equally
and ratably to all Subordinated Creditors, or (iii) all Subordinated Creditors otherwise agree in writing to such prepayment.

Article
I
REGISTRATION
1.1
Demand Registrations.
(a)
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, solely during any period when the Company is not eligible under Applicable Law to register
Registrable Securities on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 1.3, any Demand Stockholders (“Requesting Stockholders”) shall
be entitled to make a number of written requests of the Company (each, a “Demand”) set forth in Section 1.1(c) hereof
for registration under the Securities Act of an amount of Registrable Securities then held by such Requesting Stockholders that equals
or is greater than the Registrable Amount (a “Demand Registration”). Thereupon the Company will, subject to the terms
of this Agreement, use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration as promptly as practicable under the Securities Act of:
(i)
the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting Stockholders for disposition in accordance
with the intended method of disposition stated in such Demand;
(ii)
all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register pursuant to Section 1.1(b), but subject to Section
1.1(g); and
(iii)
all shares of Company Common Stock which the Company may elect to register in connection with any offering of Registrable Securities
pursuant to this Section 1.1, but subject to Section 1.1(g); all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with
the intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities and the additional shares of Company Common Stock, if any, to be so registered.
(b)
A Demand shall specify (i) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Demand Registration, (ii)
the intended method of disposition in connection with such Demand Registration, to the extent then known and (iii) the identity of the
Requesting Stockholder(s). Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of a Demand, the Company shall give written notice of such Demand
to all other Holders of Registrable Securities. The Company shall include in the Demand Registration covered by such Demand all Registrable
Securities with respect to which the Company has received a written request for inclusion therein from the Holder thereof within ten
(10) days after the Company’s notice required by this paragraph has been given, subject to Section 1.1(g). Each such written request
shall comply with the requirements of a Demand as set forth in this Section 1.1(b).
(c)
The Requesting Stockholders shall have the right to request only a total of up to three (3) Demand Registrations; provided that no more
than one (1) Demand Registration may be made in any six (6)-month period. A Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have been effected
and shall not count as a Demand Registration (i) unless a registration statement with respect thereto has become effective and has remained
effective for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) days or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities included
in such Demand Registration have actually been sold thereunder (provided that such period shall be extended for a period of time equal
to the period the Holder of Registrable Securities refrains from selling any securities included in such registration statement at the
request of the Company or the lead managing underwriter(s) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or (ii) if, after it has become
effective, such Demand Registration becomes subject, prior to one hundred eighty (180) days after effectiveness, to any stop order, injunction
or other order or requirement of the Commission or other Governmental Authority, other than by reason of any act or omission by the applicable
Selling Stockholders.
(d)
Demand Registrations shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be selected by the Company and reasonably
acceptable to the Requesting Stockholders.
(e)
The Company shall not be obligated to (i) subject to Section 1.1(c), maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement under the
Securities Act filed pursuant to a Demand Registration for a period longer than one hundred eighty (180) days or (ii) effect any Demand
Registration (A) within six months of a “firm commitment” Underwritten Offering in which all Demand Stockholders were offered
“piggyback” rights pursuant to Section 1.2 (subject to Section 1.2(b)) and at least 90% of the number of Registrable Securities
requested by such Requesting Stockholders to be included in such Demand Registration were included and sold or (B) within six months
of the completion of any other Demand Registration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any
Shelf Registration Statement).
(f)
The Company shall be entitled to postpone (upon written notice to the Requesting Stockholders and any other Holders whose Registrable
Securities are covered by such Demand pursuant to Section 1.1(b)) the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for any
Demand Registration in the event of a Blackout Period until the expiration of the applicable Blackout Period. In the event of a Blackout
Period, the Company shall deliver to the Requesting Stockholders requesting registration and any other Holders whose Registrable Securities
are covered by such Demand pursuant to Section 1.1(b) a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer or the chief financial
officer of the Company certifying that, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the conditions described in the definition of Blackout
Period are met.
(g)
If, in connection with a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering that involves an Underwritten Offering, the lead managing underwriter(s)
advise(s) the Company that, in its (their) reasonable opinion, the inclusion of all of the securities sought to be registered in connection
with such Demand Registration would adversely affect the success thereof, then the Company shall include in such registration statement
only such securities as the Company is reasonably advised by such lead managing underwriter(s) can be sold without such adverse effect
as follows and in the following order of priority: (i) first, pro rata among the Holders that have requested to participate in
such Demand Registration based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder; (ii) second, securities
the Company proposes to sell for its own account; and (iii) third, only if all of the securities referred to in clauses (i) and (ii)
have been included in such registration, all other securities of the Company duly requested to be included in such registration statement
by other persons, pro rata on the basis of the amount of such other securities requested to be included or such other allocation method
determined by the Company.
(h)
Any time that a Demand Registration or Shelf Offering involves an Underwritten Offering, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities then held by the Holders who have requested to participate in such Demand Registration or Shelf Offering shall select the
investment banker(s) and manager(s) that will serve as managing underwriters (including which such managing underwriters will serve as
lead or co-lead) and underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities; provided that such investment banker(s)
and manager(s) shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
1.2
Piggyback Registrations.
(a)
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, whenever the Company proposes to register any Company Common Stock under the Securities Act
for its own account or for the account of other persons who are not Demand Stockholders (other than a registration by the Company (i)
on Form S-4 or any successor form thereto, (ii) on Form S-8 or any successor form thereto, or (iii) pursuant to Section 1.1) (a “Piggyback
Registration”), the Company shall give all Holders prompt written notice thereof (but not less than ten (10) days prior to
the filing by the Company with the Commission of any registration statement with respect thereto). Such notice (a “Piggyback
Notice”) shall specify the number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be registered, the proposed date of filing
of such registration statement with the Commission, the proposed means of distribution, the proposed managing underwriter(s) (if any)
and a good faith estimate by the Company of the proposed minimum offering price of such shares of Company Common Stock, in each case
to the extent then known. Subject to Section 1.2(b), the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities
held by Holders (a “Piggyback Seller”) with respect to which the Company has received written requests (which written
requests shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be disposed of by such Piggyback Seller) for inclusion therein,
on the same terms and conditions as the other securities otherwise being sold pursuant to such registration statement, within ten (10)
days after such Piggyback Notice is received by such Piggyback Seller.
(b)
If, in connection with a Piggyback Registration that involves an Underwritten Offering, the lead managing underwriter(s) advises the
Company that, in its reasonable opinion, the inclusion of all the shares of Company Common Stock sought to be included in such Piggyback
Registration by (i) the Company, (ii) other Persons who have sought to have shares of Company Common Stock registered in such Piggyback
Registration pursuant to rights to demand (other than pursuant to so-called “piggyback” or other incidental or participation
registration rights) such registration (such Persons being “Other Demanding Sellers”), (iii) the Piggyback Sellers
and (iv) any other proposed sellers of shares of Company Common Stock (such Persons being “Other Proposed Sellers”),
as the case may be, would adversely affect the success thereof, then the Company shall include in the registration statement applicable
to such Piggyback Registration only such shares of Company Common Stock as the Company is so reasonably advised by such lead managing
underwriter(s) can be sold without such an adverse effect, as follows and in the following order of priority:
(i)
if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of shares of Company
Common Stock to be sold by the Company as the Company, in its reasonable judgment and acting in good faith and in accordance with sound
financial practice, shall have determined, (B) second, Registrable Securities of Piggyback Sellers, pro rata based on the number of Registrable
Securities then held by each such Piggyback Seller, (C) third, shares of Company Common Stock sought to be registered by Other Demanding
Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be sold by such Other Demanding Sellers and
(D) fourth, only if all of the securities referred to in clauses (A) through (C) have been included in such registration, other shares
of Company Common Stock proposed to be sold by any Other Proposed Sellers; or
(ii)
if the Piggyback Registration relates to an offering other than for the Company’s own account, then (A) first, such number of shares
of Company Common Stock sought to be registered by each Other Demanding Seller pro rata in proportion to the number of securities sought
to be registered by all such Other Demanding Sellers, (B) second, Registrable Securities of Piggyback Sellers, pro rata based on the
number of shares of Registrable Securities then held by each such Piggyback Seller, and (C) third, only if all of the securities referred
to in clauses (A) and (B) have been included in such registration, other shares of Company Common Stock proposed to be sold by any Other
Proposed Sellers.
(c)
For clarity, in connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Section 1.2, the Company shall not be required to include the Registrable
Securities of a Piggyback Seller in the Underwritten Offering unless such Piggyback Seller accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed
upon between the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s), which shall be selected by the Company.
(d)
If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any shares of Company Common Stock as set forth in this Section
1.2 and prior to the time the registration statement filed in connection with such Piggyback Registration is declared effective, the
Company shall determine for any reason not to register such shares of Company Common Stock, the Company may, at its election, give written
notice of such determination to the Piggyback Sellers within five (5) Business Days thereof and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation
to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such particular withdrawn or abandoned Piggyback Registration; provided that
Demand Stockholders may continue the registration as a Demand Registration pursuant to the terms of Section 1.1.
1.3
Shelf Registration Statement.
(a)
If the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) as of the date of this Agreement or
otherwise eligible to offer securities under or file with automatic effectiveness, the Company shall file by the twelve (12)-month anniversary
of the date of this Agreement, a registration statement on Form S-3 or any successor form thereto (“Form S-3”) providing
for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration Statement”)
in the form of an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) or any successor form thereto
registering all Registrable Securities then held by the Holders. If the Company is not expected to be a well-known seasoned issuer (as
defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) immediately following the date of this Agreement, then, subject to the availability of
a registration statement on Form S-3 to the Company, any of the Demand Stockholders may by written notice delivered to the Company (the
“Shelf Notice”) require the Company to file as soon as reasonably practicable, and to use reasonable best efforts
to cause to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing date, a Shelf Registration Statement
relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an amount of Registrable Securities then held by such Demand Stockholders that
equals or is greater than the Registrable Amount.
(b)
Within ten (10) days after receipt of a Shelf Notice pursuant to Section 1.3(a), the Company will deliver written notice thereof to all
other Holders of Registrable Securities. Each other Holder of Registrable Securities may elect to participate with respect to its Registrable
Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with this Agreement and the plan and method of distribution set forth in
such Shelf Registration Statement by delivering to the Company a written request to so participate within ten (10) days after the Shelf
Notice is received by any such Holder of Registrable Securities.
(c)
Subject to Section 1.3(d), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to keep a Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective
until the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold thereunder
in accordance with the plan and method of distribution disclosed in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, or otherwise
cease to be Registrable Securities; and (ii) the date on which this Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 4.1.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time, by providing
written notice to the Holders whose Registrable Securities are registered under the Shelf Registration Statement, to require such Holders
to suspend the use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement during any Blackout Period.
In the event of a Blackout Period, the Company shall deliver to such Holders a certificate signed by either the chief executive officer
or the chief financial officer of the Company certifying that, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the conditions described in
the definition of Blackout Period are met. After the expiration of any Blackout Period and without any further request from a Holder
of Registrable Securities, the Company to the extent necessary shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment
or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other
required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will
not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(e)
At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if one or more Demand Stockholders deliver a notice to the Company (a “Take-Down
Notice”) stating that such Demand Stockholder(s) intend to sell a Registrable Amount of Registrable Securities on the Shelf
Registration Statement in an Underwritten Offering (a “Shelf Offering”), the Company shall promptly, and in a manner
reasonably agreed with such Demand Stockholder(s) amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to
enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering (taking into account, solely in connection with (x)
a Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering that will be completed prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the date of this Agreement
or (y) a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering, the inclusion of Registrable Securities by any other Holders pursuant to this Section
1.3). The Demand Stockholders shall have the right to request only a total of four (4) Shelf Offerings pursuant to this Section 1.3(e)
and (i) any Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering shall be subject to the provisions of Section 1.1(e)(ii) as if such Underwritten Shelf
Offering were a Demand Registration (provided that references therein to six months shall be deemed to refer to four months) and
(ii) the Demand Stockholders cannot effect any Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering within thirty (30) days of any other Shelf Offering.
In connection with any Shelf Offering that is an Underwritten Offering and where the plan of distribution set forth in the applicable
Take-Down Notice includes a customary “road show” (including an “electronic road show”) or other substantial
marketing effort by the Company and the underwriters (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering”) unless the Take-Down
Notice is executed by or on behalf of all the Demand Stockholders (even if all the Demand Stockholders are not participating in such
Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering), the Company shall forward the Take-Down Notice to all Demand Stockholders whose Registrable Securities
are included on the Shelf Registration Statement and the Company and such proposing Demand Stockholder(s) shall permit each such Demand
Stockholders to include its Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration Statement in the Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering
if such Demand Stockholder notifies the proposing Demand Stockholder(s) and the Company within five (5) days after delivery of the Take-Down
Notice to such Demand Stockholders. In connection with any Shelf Offering that is an Underwritten Offering but is not a Marketed Underwritten
Shelf Offering (a “Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering”) and which will be completed no later than the one (1)
year anniversary of the Initial Closing, unless the Take-Down Notice is executed on behalf of all of the Demand Stockholders (even if
all the Demand Stockholders are not participating in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering) the Company shall forward the Take-Down
Notice to all other Demand Stockholders whose Registrable Securities are included on the Shelf Registration Statement and the Company
and such Demand Stockholder(s) shall permit each such Demand Stockholder to include its Registrable Securities included on the Shelf
Registration Statement in the Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering if such Demand Stockholder notifies the proposing Demand Stockholder(s)
and the Company within whatever time period the proposing Demand Stockholders determine is required given the anticipated timing of such
Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering as set forth in the relevant Take-Down Notice.
(f)
For the avoidance of doubt, any Shelf Offering will be subject to Sections 1.1(g) and (h).
1.4
Withdrawal Rights. Any Demand Stockholder having notified or directed the Company to include any or all of its Registrable Securities
in a registration statement under the Securities Act shall have the right to withdraw any such notice or direction with respect to any
or all of the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration by giving written notice to such effect to the Company prior to
the effective date of such registration statement. In the event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall not include such Registrable
Securities in the applicable registration and such Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities for all purposes
of this Agreement (subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement). No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of the
Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn if any other Demand Holder has requested that Registrable Securities
be included in such registration; provided, however, that in the case of a Demand Registration, if such withdrawal shall reduce the number
of Registrable Securities sought to be included in such registration below the Registrable Amount, then the Company shall as promptly
as practicable give each Demand Stockholder seeking to register Registrable Securities notice to such effect and, within ten (10) days
following the mailing of such notice, such Demand Stockholders still seeking registration shall, by written notice to the Company, elect
to register additional Registrable Securities to satisfy the Registrable Amount or elect that such registration statement not be filed
or, if theretofore filed, be withdrawn. During such ten (10) day period, the Company shall not file such registration statement if not
theretofore filed or, if such registration statement has been theretofore filed, the Company shall not seek, and shall use reasonable
best efforts to prevent, the effectiveness thereof.
1.5
Holdback Agreements. (a) In connection with any Underwritten Offering in which a Holder participates pursuant to Section 1.2,
each such Holder agrees to enter into customary agreements, including such customary carve-outs and limitations as any such Holder may
reasonably request, restricting the public sale or distribution of equity securities of the Company (including sales pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act) to the extent required in writing by the lead managing underwriter(s) with respect to an applicable Underwritten
Offering during the period commencing on the date of the “pricing” of such Underwritten Offering) and continuing for not
more than the lesser of (i) the period to which the Company (subject to customary carve-outs and limitations) is restricted and (ii)
sixty (60) days after the date of the “final” prospectus (or “final” prospectus supplement if the Underwritten
Offering is made pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement), pursuant to which such Underwritten Offering shall be made, or such other
period as is required by the lead managing underwriter(s). Any discretionary waiver or termination of the requirements under the foregoing
provisions made by the Company or applicable lead managing underwriter(s) shall apply to each Holder on a pro rata basis. (b) If any
Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering or in the event of a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering, the Company will not
effect any public sale or distribution of any common equity (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common
equity) (other than a registration statement on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto) for its own account, within sixty
(60) days, after the date of such Underwritten Offering or Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering, as applicable, except as may otherwise
be agreed between the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s) of such Underwritten Offering or Marketed Underwritten Shelf Offering,
as applicable.
1.6
Registration Procedures.
(a)
If and whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided
in Section 1.1, Section 1.2 or Section 1.3, the Company shall as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:
(i)
prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement to effect such registration in accordance with the intended method or methods
of distribution of such securities and thereafter use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain
effective pursuant to the terms of this Article I; provided, however, that the Company may discontinue any registration of its
securities which are not Registrable Securities at any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto;
provided, further, that before filing such registration statement or any amendments thereto, the Company will furnish to the Holders
which are including Registrable Securities in such registration (“Selling Stockholders”), their counsel and the lead
managing underwriter(s) and their counsel, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject
to the review and reasonable comment of such counsel, and other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment
letter from the Commission, and, if requested by such counsel, provide such counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation
of such registration statement and each prospectus included therein. The Company shall not file any such registration statement or prospectus
or any amendments or supplements thereto with respect to a Demand Registration to which the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities
held by the Selling Stockholder(s), their counsel or the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, shall reasonably object, in writing, on
a timely basis, unless, in the opinion of the Company, such filing is necessary to comply with Applicable Law;
(ii)
prepare and file with the Commission 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 pursuant to the terms of this Article I, and comply with
the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;
(iii)
if requested by the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, or the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities
being sold in connection with an Underwritten Offering, promptly include in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such
information as the lead managing underwriter(s), if any, and such Holders may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method
of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon
as reasonably practicable after the Company has received such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take
any actions under this Section 1.6(a)(iii) that are not, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, in compliance with Applicable Law;
(iv)
furnish to the Selling Stockholders and each underwriter, if any, of the securities being sold by such Selling Stockholders such number
of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto, such number of copies of the prospectus
contained in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and each free writing prospectus
(as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) (a “Free Writing Prospectus”) utilized in connection therewith and
any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such
other documents as such Selling Stockholders and underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or
other disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Stockholders;
(v)
use reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Selling Stockholders, the underwriters, if any, and their respective
counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable
Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities laws or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions
as the Selling Stockholders and any underwriter of the securities being sold by such Selling Stockholders shall reasonably request, and
to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such registration statement is required
to be kept effective and take any other action which may be necessary or reasonably advisable to enable such Selling Stockholders and
underwriters to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Stockholders, except
that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to (A) qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction
wherein it would not but for the requirements of this clause (v) be obligated to be so qualified, (B) subject itself to taxation in any
such jurisdiction or (C) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(vi)
use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities
issued by the Company are then listed and, if no such securities are so listed, use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable
Securities to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market;
(vii)
use 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 reasonably necessary to enable the Selling Stockholder(s) thereof to consummate
the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
(viii)
use reasonable best efforts to provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered
by such registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such registration statement;
(ix)
in an Underwritten Offering, enter into an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings
and in connection therewith, (A) make representations and warranties to the Holders of such Registrable Securities and the underwriters,
if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the registration statement, prospectus and documents, if
any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made
by issuers in underwritten offerings, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested, (B) include in the underwriting agreement
indemnification provisions and procedures substantially to the effect set forth in Section 1.9 hereof with respect to all parties to
be indemnified pursuant to said Section except as otherwise agreed by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold
and (C) deliver such documents and certificates as are reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
being sold, their counsel and the lead managing underwriters(s), if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and
warranties made pursuant to sub-clause (A) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting
agreement. The above shall be done at each closing under such underwriting agreement, or as and to the extent required thereunder;
(x)
in connection with an Underwritten Offering, use reasonable best efforts to obtain for the Selling Stockholders and underwriter(s) (A)
opinions of counsel for the Company, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such
other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Selling Stockholders and underwriters and (B) “comfort” letters and
updates thereof (or, in the case of any such Person which does not satisfy the conditions for receipt of a “comfort” letter
specified in Auditing Standards No. 6101 (former Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72), an “agreed upon procedures” letter)
signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company’s financial statements and, to the extent required,
any other financial statements included in such registration statement, covering the matters customarily covered in “comfort”
letters in connection with underwritten offerings;
(xi)
make available for inspection by the Selling Stockholders, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to any registration
statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent or representative retained in connection with such offering by such Selling Stockholders
or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), such financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
instruments of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary, or as shall otherwise
be reasonably requested, to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the officers, directors and employees
of the Company and its subsidiaries (and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its auditors) to participate in customary due diligence
calls and to supply all information in each case reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, attorney, agent or accountant
in connection with such registration statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide any information
under this clause (xi) if (A) the Company believes, after consultation with counsel for the Company, that to do so would cause the Company
to forfeit an attorney-client privilege that was applicable to such information or (B) if either (1) the Company has requested and been
granted from the Commission confidential treatment of such information contained in any filing with the Commission or documents provided
supplementally or otherwise or (2) the Company reasonably determines in good faith that such Records are confidential and so notifies
the Inspectors in writing; unless prior to furnishing any such information with respect to clause (1) or (2) such Selling Stockholder
requesting such information enters into, and causes each of its Inspectors to enter into, a confidentiality agreement on terms and conditions
reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided, further, that each Selling Stockholder agrees that it will, upon learning that disclosure
of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction or by another Governmental Authority, give notice to the Company and allow
the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action seeking to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential;
(xii)
as promptly as practicable notify in writing the Selling Stockholder and the underwriters, if any, of the following events: (A) the filing
of the registration statement, any amendment thereto, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment
to the registration statement or any Free Writing Prospectus utilized in connection therewith, and, with respect to the registration
statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; (B) any request by the Commission or any other
U.S. or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or the prospectus or for additional
information; (C) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement or the initiation
of any proceedings by any Person for that purpose; (D) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension
of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction or

1.8
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Not less than five (5) Business Days before the expected filing date of each registration statement pursuant to this Agreement, the Company
shall notify each Holder of Registrable Securities who has timely provided the requisite notice hereunder entitling such holder to register
Registrable Securities in such registration statement of the information, documents and instruments from such holder that the Company
or any underwriter reasonably requests in connection with such registration statement, including, to the extent applicable, a questionnaire,
custody agreement, power of attorney, lock-up letter (in accordance with Section 1.5) and underwriting agreement (the “Requested
Information”). If the Company has not received, on or before the second Business Day before the expected filing date, the Requested
Information from such holder, the Company may file the registration statement without including Registrable Securities of such holder.
The failure to so include in any registration statement the Registrable Securities of a holder of Registrable Securities (with regard
to that registration statement) shall not result in any liability on the part of the Company to such Holder.
(b)
The Company shall not grant any demand, piggyback or shelf registration rights, the terms of which are senior to or conflict with the
rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder to any other Person, or enter into any other agreements that conflict
with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities under this Agreement (except to the extent contemplated under the definition
of “Blackout Period”), without the prior written consent of Demand Stockholders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities
then held by all Demand Stockholders.
(c)
The Company will cooperate with the Holders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery
of certificates or book entries (which, in either case, shall not bear any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to
be sold by any Holder pursuant to any registration statement or sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and enable such shares
to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the selling Holders or managing underwriter(s) may request.
1.9
Registration Indemnification.
(a)
The Company agrees, without limitation as to time, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Selling
Stockholder and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners and agents
and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such Selling
Stockholder or such other indemnified Person and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, managers, partners, accountants,
attorneys and agents of each such controlling Person, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including
reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and amounts paid in settlement (collectively,
the “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement (or alleged
untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus
or any amendment 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 (in the case of a prospectus, preliminary prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by any information
furnished in writing to the Company by any Selling Stockholder expressly for use therein.
(b)
In connection with any registration statement in which a Selling Stockholder is participating, without limitation as to time, each such
Selling Stockholder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors, officers, stockholders, employees, managers,
partners and agents, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange
Act) the Company, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of, caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement
(or alleged untrue statement) of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free
Writing Prospectus or any amendment 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 (in the case of a prospectus, preliminary prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case solely to
the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary
prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
regarding such Selling Stockholder furnished to the Company by such Selling Stockholder expressly for inclusion in such registration
statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Selling Stockholder shall be liable under this Section 1.9(b) for amounts in excess of the net proceeds received by such
holder in the offering giving rise to such liability.
(c)
Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification; provided, however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from its
obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such
notice on a timely basis.
(d)
In any case in which any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof,
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election so to assume the defense thereof and acknowledging the obligations of the indemnifying party with respect to such proceeding,
the indemnifying party will not (so long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and settle the matter in
question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof (unless (i) such indemnified party reasonably objects to such
assumption on the grounds that there are defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to the defenses available to
such indemnifying party and, as a result, a conflict of interest exists or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable
period of time to assume such defense and the indemnified party is or would reasonably be expected to be materially prejudiced by such
delay, in either of which events the indemnified party shall be promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the reasonable fees
and expenses incurred in connection with retaining one separate legal counsel (for the avoidance of doubt, for all indemnified parties
in connection therewith)). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any such assumption by an indemnifying party, the indemnified
party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such matter and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party except as provided in the previous sentence. An indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed). No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement (x) includes 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,
(y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified
party and (z) is settled solely for cash for which the indemnified party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(e)
The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall survive the sale of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this
Agreement.
(f)
If recovery is not available or insufficient under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other than as specified
therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to contribution
with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party,
on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party 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 the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, the Persons’ relative
intent, knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct
and prevent any statement or omission, and other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is hereby agreed that
it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. 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 found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Stockholder
shall be required to make a contribution in excess of the net proceeds received by such Selling Stockholder from its sale of Registrable
Securities in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation.

Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent
of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable

Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the documents and the instruments referred to in this Agreement), together with the

SpaceMobile Secures Strategic Investment From AT&T, Google and Vodafone
Investment
and strategic agreements accelerate AST SpaceMobile’s mission to close the global connectivity gap by bringing 5G broadband service
from space to billions of people worldwide
$206.5
million financing, comprised of convertible notes, non-dilutive commercial payments, and a planned future draw on the company’s
existing credit facility
MIDLAND,
TX, January 18, 2024 – AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (“AST SpaceMobile”) (NASDAQ: ASTS), the company building the first
and only space-based cellular broadband network accessible directly by everyday smartphones, today announced strategic investment from
AT&T, Google and Vodafone and aggregate new financing of up to $206.5 million in gross proceeds. In addition to the $155 million
strategic investment, the company also plans to draw up to $51.5 million from the company’s existing senior-secured credit facility.
New
investors AT&T and Google, joined by existing investor Vodafone, are at the forefront of wireless innovation, with products and services
serving billions of people daily. This significant investment in AST SpaceMobile underscores confidence in the company’s technology
and leadership position in the emerging space-based cellular direct-to-device market, with the potential to offer connectivity to today’s
5.5 billion cellular devices when they are out of coverage.
AST
SpaceMobile currently operates the largest-ever commercial communications array in low Earth orbit, the BlueWalker 3 satellite. The company
invented the space-based direct-to-device market, and its patented design facilitates broadband connectivity directly to standard, unmodified
cellular devices, adhering to today’s cellular standards. In 2023, the company solidified its status as the industry’s leading
innovator, working alongside partners AT&T, Vodafone, Rakuten and Nokia, to achieve multiple historic technical breakthroughs in
space-based cellular communications – including the demonstration of 2G, 4G LTE and 5G calls, and 14 Mbps download speeds
per 5 MHz channels – directly from space to everyday smartphones. For the company’s planned operational satellites, beams
are designed to support capacity of up to 40 MHz, potentially enabling data transmission speeds of up to 120 Mbps. With over 40 agreements
and understandings with mobile network operators globally, who collectively service over 2 billion subscribers, AST SpaceMobile’s
pioneering in-orbit technology is poised to be the solution for eliminating cellular connectivity gaps around the world.
Abel
Avellan, Chairman and CEO of AST SpaceMobile, said, “Our vision at AST SpaceMobile has always been to chart a course of collaborative
innovation and integration with the world’s leading wireless companies, which is why we are so thrilled to be welcoming this new
strategic investment from AT&T, Google and Vodafone. With this strategic investment, we are gaining capital, invaluable expertise,
and strategic partnership. This investment comes alongside prior investments by other leaders in the wireless ecosystem, including Rakuten,
American Tower, and Bell Canada, all of whom are not only part owners of AST SpaceMobile but also serve as our technology partners and
customers. Each new partnership signifies that market leaders worldwide have tremendous confidence in our vision and ability to ensure
that the future of cellular broadband is borderless.”
Chris
Sambar, Executive Vice President, Head of Network, AT&T, said “Through our work with AST SpaceMobile, we’ve already proven
the possibilities that satellite has to offer in helping connect more people via text, voice and video. We’re excited to deepen
our relationship with this investment as we continue to drive a first-of-its-kind innovation forward and work together to achieve this
shared vision of space-based connectivity for consumers, businesses and first responders all around the globe.”
Margherita
Della Valle, Vodafone Group chief executive, said “Vodafone’s investment and collaboration with AST SpaceMobile will help
make our mobile connectivity services available everywhere for our customers across Europe and Africa. Customers in remote rural areas,
on land or out at sea, will be able to benefit from fast and reliable 5G broadband directly to their existing smartphones without the
need for specialist equipment.”
The
strategic investment is intended to support the commercial roll-out of AST SpaceMobile’s network and is comprised of a mix of equity-linked
capital and non-dilutive commercial payments. The investment includes:
| ● | $110
million of 10-year subordinated convertible notes with 5.50% interest (which may be paid
in kind), with a conversion price of $5.75 per share, a 39% premium to the final trading
price on January 16, 2024; invested by AT&T, Google and Vodafone |
| ● | $20
million revenue commitment from AT&T, predicated on the launch and successful initial
operation of the first 5 commercial satellites |
| ● | $25
million minimum revenue commitment from Vodafone, subject to a definitive agreement |
The
non-dilutive commercial payments by customers of the SpaceMobile network, creditable against future service revenue, provide a model
for other wireless companies around the world to participate in the initial rollout of commercial SpaceMobile service.
In
addition to the strategic investment, the new investors expanded their strategic and commercial ties to support the buildout of the SpaceMobile
network, including:
| ● | Vodafone
and AT&T have placed purchase orders for network equipment from AST SpaceMobile to support
planned commercial service, for an undisclosed amount |
| ● | Google
and AST SpaceMobile agreed to collaborate on product development, testing and implementation
plans for SpaceMobile network connectivity on Android and related devices |
UBS
Investment Bank, Barclays and Quilty Space acted as financial advisers to AST SpaceMobile on the strategic investment, with Sullivan
& Cromwell LLP serving as legal counsel. The terms and conditions of the transaction are more fully described in the Company’s
Current Report on Form 8-K, being filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
AST
SpaceMobile has more than 3,100 patent and patent-pending claims for its technology and operates state-of-the-art, vertically integrated
manufacturing and testing facilities in Midland, Texas, which collectively span 185,000 square feet.
The
company also has agreements and understandings with more than 40 mobile network operators globally, which have over 2 billion existing
subscribers total, including Vodafone Group, Rakuten Mobile, AT&T, Bell Canada, Orange, Telefonica, TIM, MTN, Saudi Telecom Company,
Zain KSA, Etisalat, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, Telkomsel, Smart Communications, Globe Telecom, Millicom, Smartfren, Telecom Argentina,
Telstra, Africell, Liberty Latin America and others. Vodafone, Rakuten, American Tower and Bell Canada are also existing investors in
AST SpaceMobile.

SpaceMobile recently announced the achievement of Space-Based 5G Cellular Broadband Connectivity From Everyday Smartphones. A
video memorializing the 5G connection and other testing milestones using BlueWalker 3 can be viewed here.
