Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Acquiror shall with the assistance of the Seller, be responsible for the preparation of pro forma financial statements required to be included in the Preliminary Proxy Statement and Definitive Proxy Statement, if any.

All such Tax Returns that are attributable or include a portion of a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be prepared on a basis consistent with those prepared for prior taxable periods unless otherwise required by Law. Acquiror shall provide Seller with a copy of each such income Tax Return for its review and comment no less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date (taking into account valid extensions thereto) for such income Tax Return, Acquiror shall incorporate Acquiror’s reasonable written comments on such Tax Returns, and Acquiror shall timely file or cause to be timely filed the foregoing. In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to any Tax Return the preparation of which is governed by this Section 7.7(a)(ii), such dispute shall be resolved by a Designated Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 7.7(a)(iii). To the extent that any Tax consequences attributable to the Reorganization are required to be reported on any United States federal, and applicable state and local, income tax returns for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, such tax returns shall (x) report the Reorganization as a redemption qualifying under Section 302(a) of the Code, and (y) include any elections under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code solely with respect to the redemption of shares of TUH for shares of the Excluded Companies that are corporations for United States federal income tax purposes, except, in either case, if (a) (y) Acquiror determines in good faith, after consultation with its tax advisers, that there is not at least “a more likely than not” comfort level with respect to such reporting position or elections and (x) Acquiror notifies Seller in writing of such determination not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing; and (b) after Acquiror notifies Seller of such determination, Seller does not deliver a written opinion from a nationally recognized law firm or accounting firm, upon which TUH can rely, that there is at least a “more likely than not” comfort level with respect such reporting position or elections.

In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Designated Accounting Firm: (A) each of the Seller and Acquiror shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with the Designated Accounting Firm to provide its views as to any disputed issues with respect to the relevant Tax Return; provided that none of Seller, Acquiror, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Designated Accounting Firm regarding the subject matter hereof without the other Party’s prior written consent; (B) each of the Seller and Acquiror shall promptly provide, or cause to be provided, to the Designated Accounting Firm all information as is reasonably necessary to permit the Designated Accounting Firm to resolve such disputes; (C) the Designated Accounting Firm, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator, shall determine only those particular disputed items referred to in the corresponding dispute notice (the “Dispute Notice”) and not agreed by the Parties during the period prior to the filing of the relevant Tax Return, and upon reaching a determination shall deliver a copy of its determination (the “Expert Determination”) to the Seller and Acquiror; and (D) the determination made by the Designated Accounting Firm of any items that are in dispute shall, absent manifest error or fraud, be conclusive, binding upon the Parties, non-appealable, and not be subject to further review, and shall be considered a final arbitration award that is enforceable pursuant to the terms of the Federal Arbitration Act. In calculating the Expert Determination, the Designated Accounting Firm shall (1) be limited to addressing only those particular disputed items referred to in the Dispute Notice and not agreed by the Parties during the period prior to the filing of the relevant Tax Return and (2) calculate an amount, with respect to each disputed item, no greater than the higher amount calculated by Acquiror or the Seller, as the case may be, and no lower than the lower amount calculated by Acquiror or the Seller, as the case may be, with respect to such disputed item. The Designated Accounting Firm shall resolve all disputes at least ten (10) days prior to the due date for the relevant Tax Return. The fees and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Acquiror, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party.

(iv) All Taxes due on or before the Closing Date (whether or not shown on such Tax Returns) shall be paid or will be paid by the Seller or applicable Acquired Company when due.

(v) Any Tax refunds or Tax credits actually received in cash by an Acquired Company after the Closing but attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (as determined pursuant to the principles of clause (vi), below) shall be for the benefit of the Seller, and Acquiror, any of the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, shall promptly pay to the Seller in cash the amount of any such Tax refund or the dollar value of any such Tax credit within five (5) Business Days following receipt thereof; provided, however, that Seller is not entitled to payment hereunder in respect of (a) refunds or credits of Taxes that were not paid prior to the Closing, (b) refunds or credits attributable to the carryback of any Tax attribute generated in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, (c) refunds or credits subject to a pending audit or other Tax proceeding, or (d) refunds or credits the value of which is required to be paid to a third party pursuant to a Contract entered into prior to the Closing by Seller or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies). Any and all payments pursuant to this clause (v) shall be made net of all costs and expenses (including Taxes) incurred by Acquiror or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies).

(vi) In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that are attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for purposes of this Agreement shall be: in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended on (and included) the Closing Date; and, in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period. The remainder of the Taxes for the Straddle Period shall be allocated to the period or portion thereof commencing on or after the Closing Date.

(vii) Without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, Acquiror shall not, and shall cause the Acquired Companies not to, amend, re-file, or otherwise modify any Tax Return for, or take any position or action attributable to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period that would reasonably be expected to increase the Tax liability of the Seller or its Affiliates or that would otherwise adversely affect the Seller’s liability for Taxes related to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or indemnification obligations with respect to Taxes pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Indemnification for Taxes. All Taxes that are due and payable with respect to Tax Returns described in this Section 7.7 shall be the responsibility of the Seller to the extent they constitute Pre-Closing Taxes, and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, together with any related costs and other Losses, be subject to indemnification pursuant to Article X.

(c) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Acquiror, Seller, and the Acquired Companies and their respective Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another Party, in connection with determining any liability for Taxes, the preparation and filing of any Tax Return and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, in each case, relating to the Acquired Companies for a taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon any other Party’s written request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax matter and making employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Section 7.7(c), and furnishing the other Parties reasonable assistance in connection therewith (at such other Party’s expense). Any records and information obtained pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.7(c) providing for the sharing of information or review of any Tax Return or other schedule related to Taxes with respect to the Acquired Companies shall in each case be kept, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, confidential by the Parties and their respective Affiliates, and such provisions shall in any event be subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information and appropriate legal privilege and work-product protections.

(d) Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. On the Closing Date, any existing agreements relating to the allocation or sharing of Taxes or other similar arrangements (other than this Agreement and any other Contract entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and for which Taxes are not the principal subject matter) to which any Acquired Company is a party shall in each case be terminated and have no further effect for any taxable year or period (whether a past, present or future year or period), and no additional payments shall be made thereunder on or after the Closing Date in respect of redetermination of Tax Liabilities or otherwise.

(e) Transfer Taxes. Any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added, real property, and other such Taxes (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of Target Shares pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Acquiror and fifty percent (50%) by the Seller (the “Transfer Taxes”). Any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed by the Party primarily or customarily responsible under applicable Law for filing such Tax Returns, and such Party will provide such Tax Returns to the other Parties at least ten (10) days prior to the date such Tax Returns are due to be filed (or, if such Tax Returns are due within ten (10) days following the Closing, as soon as reasonably practicable).

(f) Tax Contests. Acquiror agrees to give written notice to Seller of the receipt of any written notice by Acquiror or any of the Acquired Companies which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action, in either case with respect to Taxes of any of the Acquired Companies in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Tax Claim”). Acquiror shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that Acquiror shall obtain the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a Tax Claim or ceasing to defend such Tax Claim; and, provided further, that Seller shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Tax Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Seller.

Section 10.4 Fraud. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall limit (i) the liability of a Party in connection with any claim based on Fraud, or (ii) the right of any Indemnified Party to pursue remedies under or related to any Related Agreement (other than certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement) against the parties thereto.

Section 10.5 Claim Procedures.

(a) Indemnification Claims. To the extent applicable, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.3 or Section 10.4, if any Indemnified Party wishes to assert a claim under Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.2(b), as applicable (each, an “Indemnification Claim”), it shall notify in writing the Seller (if the Seller is the party from which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 10.2(a)) or Acquiror (if Acquiror is the party from which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 10.2(b)) of the facts and circumstances that give rise to such Indemnification Claim. As soon as reasonably practicable after such notice, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the other Party a written claim notice (a “Claim Notice”) stating (i) that an Indemnified Party has paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, or anticipates that it may pay, incur, suffer or sustain Losses, and (ii) to the extent reasonably available, specifying such Losses or anticipated Losses in reasonable detail, the facts and circumstances (to the extent known by or available to the corresponding Representative) giving rise to such Losses and, if applicable, the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty or covenant or other indemnifiable matter. Without extending the time limitations set forth in Section 10.1, a Claim Notice may be updated from time to time by the Indemnified Party delivering such Claim Notice to reflect any change in circumstances following the date thereof, and with respect to Leakage, Acquiror may deliver more than one (1) claim for Leakage, if there are separate events constituting Leakage. A failure to give complete, accurate or, without extending the time limitations set forth in Section 10.1, timely notice of a Claim Notice will not affect the rights or obligations of any Indemnified Party hereunder. If an Indemnification Claim may be brought under different or multiple sections, clauses or subclauses of Section 10.2 (or with respect to different or multiple representations, warrants or covenants), then the applicable Indemnified Parties shall have the right to bring such Indemnification Claim under any or each such section, clause, subclauses, representation, warranty or covenant (each a “Subject Provision”) that it chooses and the Indemnified Parties will not be precluded from seeking indemnification under any Subject Provision by virtue of the Indemnified Parties not being entitled to seek indemnification under any other Subject Provision.

(b) Response to Claim. If the Seller or Acquiror, as applicable, does not object in writing within thirty (30) days of delivery of a Claim Notice (the “Objection Deadline”) by delivery of a written notice of objection to the Indemnified Party containing a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances (to the extent known or available) supporting an objection to the applicable claim (a “Claim Objection Notice”), such failure to so object shall be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the relevant Party with respect to an Indemnification Claim, that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Claim Notice (an “Unobjected Claim”). In such event, the Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled payment under the Unobjected Claim shall be satisfied in accordance with Section 10.5(d).

(i) With respect to each Indemnification Claim, if the Seller or Acquiror, as applicable, delivers a Claim Objection Notice pursuant to Section 10.5(b) prior to the Objection Deadline with respect to such Indemnification Claim, Acquiror and the Seller shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days after the delivery of such Claim Objection Notice to resolve such objection. If Acquiror and the Seller resolve and come to an agreement regarding the claim(s) made in the Claim Objection Notice, a memorandum setting forth such agreement (the “Settlement Memorandum”) shall be prepared and signed by Acquiror and the Seller, which Settlement Memorandum shall be final and conclusive and binding on Acquiror and the Seller. In such event, the Losses for which the Indemnified Parties are entitled payment under the Settlement Memorandum shall be satisfied in accordance with Section 10.5(d).

(ii) With respect to each claim pursuant to Section 10.5(a) as to which a Claim Objection Notice was delivered pursuant to Section 10.5(b), and to which no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation and prior to thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Claim Objection Notice (or such later date as may be agreed in writing by Acquiror and the Seller), either Acquiror or the Seller may commence an Action in in accordance with Section 11.11.

(d) Satisfaction of Claims. In the event of an Unobjected Claim or a Settlement Memorandum, or in the event Seller or Acquiror liability has been established pursuant to a final binding decision in accordance with Section 11.11, Acquiror and the Seller shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, as promptly as practicable thereafter but no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Objection Deadline or the date of the Settlement Memorandum or decision, as the case may be, pay in cash to the Indemnified Party the full amount of the corresponding Losses, provided that Seller shall have no obligation under Section 10.2(a)(v) for any Known Leakage Amount deducted from the Closing Cash Consideration.

(e) Third-Party Claims.

(i) In the event that a Party becomes aware of third-party claim against an Indemnified Party that such Party in good faith believes constitutes a matter for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification, compensation, or reimbursement under Section 10.2, as applicable (each, a “Third-Party Claim”), such Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other Party. Except with respect to Taxes, such Party shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to conduct (and, if necessary assume), the defense and prosecution of and to settle or resolve any such Third-Party Claim, and if such Party does not promptly assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim the costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with the investigation, defense, prosecution, and settlement of such Third-Party Claim (including attorneys’, consultants’, experts’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses and court or arbitration costs) shall be Losses for which the Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification, compensation and reimbursement pursuant to Section 10.2, subject to the limitations of this Article X, regardless of the outcome of such Third-Party Claim. Acquiror (in the case of Third-Party Claims defended by the Seller) and the Seller (in the case of Third-Party Claims defended by Acquiror) shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, material written notices, and material written communications with respect to any Third-Party Claim.

(ii) Except with respect to Taxes, without which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, no Indemnified Party shall consent to any settlement or resolution of any Third-Party Claim (or admit any liability with respect thereto).

(iii) If applicable, the insurers under the R&W Insurance Policy and their agents and advisors shall be permitted to associate effectively with any Party in the defense of any matter which might reasonably constitute a Loss (as defined in the R&W Insurance Policy).

Section 10.6 Tax Treatment.

(a) Any payments made to an Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Article X will be treated as adjustments to the Cash Consideration for Tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 10.7 Exclusive Remedy.

(a) From and after the Closing, this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties against Acquiror or Seller, as applicable, for any monetary damages in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that (i) this Section 10.7 shall not apply to, or be deemed a waiver by any Party of, (1) any right or claim under this Article X, (2) any claim for specific performance or injunctive relief (including pursuant to Section 11.9), or (3) any right or claim under or related to any Related Agreement, and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability of any Person in connection with Fraud committed by such Person.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Acquiror acknowledges and agrees that it is relying exclusively on, and its sole recourse for any actual or alleged breach of any representation or warranty (other than the Fundamental Representations) set forth in this Agreement (or any certificate or other document delivered hereunder) will be, the R&W Insurance Policy.

Section 10.8 No Rescission. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall give rise to any right on the part of any Party, after the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, to rescind this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 11.9 Specific Performance and Other Remedies.

A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment. With respect to any Action for which it has submitted to jurisdiction pursuant to this Section 11.11, each Party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for the giving of notices pursuant to Section 11.2.

Section 11.14 Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Parties agree that their respective representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other Party in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and, except in the case of Fraud, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against, the Parties.

(b) The Company’s obligations to include either tranche of Registrable Securities in a registration statement are contingent upon the Purchasers furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Purchasers, the securities of the Company held by the Purchasers and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) as shall be reasonably necessary and requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Purchasers shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the registration statement, if applicable, during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder.

(i) The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Purchasers, their respective directors, officers, members, stockholders, partners and agents, and each person who controls such the Purchasers (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the directors, officers, members, stockholders, partners and agents of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) that arise out of, are based upon, or caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any registration statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, except insofar as the same are based upon, or caused by, or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchasers expressly for use therein.

(ii) In connection with any registration statement in which the Purchasers are participating, the Purchasers shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Company in writing such necessary information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers, members, stockholders, partners and agents and each person or entity who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and the directors, officers, members, stockholders, partners and agents of each such controlling person, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any registration statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by on behalf of the Purchasers expressly for use therein.

(iii) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, member, stockholder or agent, or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 5.6(c) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 5.6(c)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 5.6(c)(v) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

FORM OF CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OF
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
FREYR BATTERY, INC.

FREYR BATTERY, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), certifies that, pursuant to the authority contained in Article Fourth of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended prior to the date hereof (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) duly approved and adopted on November ____, 2024 the following resolution, which resolution remains in full force and effect on the date hereof:

WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 355,000,000 shares of Common Stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Corporation (the “Preferred Stock”) in one or more series, and expressly authorizes the Board of Directors, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to establish and fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of such series; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors desires to establish and fix such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock defined below.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Series A Preferred Stock be, and hereby is, created, and that the number of shares thereof, the voting powers thereof and the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights thereof and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof be, and hereby are, as follows:

Designation and Amount.

The shares of such series shall be designated as “Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock,” par value $0.01 per share, and the number of shares constituting such series shall be ten million (10,000,000) (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a number less than that of the shares then outstanding.

Ranking.

(a) The Series A Preferred Stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution, rank: (i) on a parity with each class or series of equity securities of the Corporation the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series will rank on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Corporation (collectively referred to as “Parity Securities”), (ii) senior to the Common Stock and each other class or series of capital stock outstanding or established after the date hereof by the Corporation the terms of which do not expressly provide that it ranks senior to or on parity with to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and/or as to rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Corporation (collectively referred to as “Junior Securities”), and (iii) junior to each other class or series of capital stock outstanding or established after the date hereof by the Corporation the terms of which expressly provide that it ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and/or as to rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Corporation (collectively referred to as “Senior Securities”). The Series A Preferred Stock shall also rank junior to the Corporation’s existing and future indebtedness.

(b) Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be identical in all respects to the other shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(c) Shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock (as defined below) will be cancelled and will revert to authorized but unissued Preferred Stock, undesignated as to series.

(d) In any case where any Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Designation) payment of dividends need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Dividend Payment Date; provided, however, that no interest will accrue on such amount of dividends for the period from and after such Dividend Payment Date, as the case may be.

Maturity.

The maturity date for any tranches of Series A Preferred Stock issued and sold shall be three years from the First Tranche Closing Date (the “Maturity Date”).

Redemption.

(a) Redemption at Maturity. On the Maturity Date, the Corporation shall redeem the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the aggregate Issue Price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (the “Maturity Redemption Price”) in accordance with the Method for Redemption set forth under Section 7(b).

(b) Method of Redemption.

(i) In any case of redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall, not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days before the Maturity Date, send to each Holder notice of the intention of the Corporation to redeem such shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Such notice shall set out the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Holders which are to be redeemed, the Maturity Redemption Price, the Maturity Date and the place at which Holders may present and surrender such shares of Series A Preferred Stock for redemption, if such shares are certificated.

(ii) On the Maturity Date, the Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid to or to the order of the Holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed the Maturity Redemption Price for each share of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on presentation and surrender, at the registered office of the Corporation or any other place specified in the notice of redemption, of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption, if any. The Corporation shall have the right at any time after the giving of notice of redemption to deposit the aggregate Maturity Redemption Price of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or of such of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock which are represented by certificates which have not at the date of such deposit been surrendered by the Holders thereof in connection with such redemption, to a special account in any chartered bank or any trust company named in such notice or in a subsequent notice to the Holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in respect of which the deposit is made, to be paid without interest to or to the order of the respective Holders upon presentation and surrender to such bank or trust company of the certificates representing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(iii) Upon such deposit being made or upon the Maturity Date, whichever is the later, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in respect of which such deposit shall have been made shall be and be deemed to be redeemed and the rights of the Holders thereof shall be limited to receiving, without interest, their proportionate part of the amount so deposited upon presentation and surrender of the certificate or certificates representing their shares of Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed, if any. Any interest on any such deposit shall belong to the Corporation. From and after the Maturity Date, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be entitled to dividends and to participate in the assets of the Corporation and the holders thereof shall not be entitled to exercise any of their other rights as Holders in respect thereof unless payment of the Maturity Redemption Price shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of the certificates in accordance with this Section 7(b)(iii), in which case the rights of the Holders thereof shall remain unaffected.

Conversion.

(a) Optional Conversion by the Holders. On or after the first anniversary of the First Tranche Closing Date, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the Holders thereof, into a number of shares of Common Stock, in whole and not in part (subject only to Section 8(c)(iii) in which case the Holders can convert in part solely in order to comply with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation), equal to the Conversion Ratio in effect on the Conversion Date.

(b) Conversion Notice. The Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with a conversion notice (via overnight courier, facsimile or email) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Notice of Conversion”), duly completed and executed for the total number of shares of Preferred Stock issued to the Holders. [For purposes of clarification, the Corporation or the Transfer Agent shall not require Holders to obtain a medallion guaranty, notary attestation or any similar deliverable in order to effectuate the conversion of all or a portion of such Holders’ shares of Series A Preferred Stock.] Provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Notice of Conversion may specify, at the Holders’ election, whether the applicable converted shares shall be credited to the account of the Holders’ prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (a “DWAC Delivery”). The date on which a conversion of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed effective (the “Conversion Date”) shall be defined as the Business Day that the Notice of Conversion, completed and executed, is sent (via overnight courier, facsimile or email) to, and received during regular business hours by, the Corporation.

(i) Electronic Issuance Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Business Days after the applicable Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall cause to be electronically transferred the applicable number of shares of Common Stock issued on the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 8(a) by crediting the account of the Holders’ prime broker with DTC through its DWAC system.

(ii) Reservation and Authorization of Common Stock. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments set out in Section 8(f)) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances.

(iii) Additional Reserved Shares. Notwithstanding anything else contrary to the foregoing herein (including Section 8(a)), the Corporation may not effect any conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, and a Holder will not have the right to convert any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates will include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates, and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including any warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 8(c)(iii), beneficial ownership will be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 8(c)(iii) applies, the determination of whether the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any affiliates) and of how many shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible will be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion will be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates) and how many shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation will have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 8(c)(iii), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (C) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Series A Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The provisions of this paragraph will be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 8(c)(iii) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph will apply to a successor holder of Series A Preferred Stock.

(iv) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. In determining the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share in the case of any resulting fractional number of shares of Common Stock.

(d) Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates (or book entry notations) for shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp, issue, transfer or similar taxes or duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates (or such book entry notation), provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate (or such book entry notation) upon conversion in a name other than that of the registered Holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates (or such book entry notation) unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

(e) Status as Stockholder. Upon the Conversion Date: (i) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock; and (ii) the Holders’ rights as holders of such converted shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive book entry notations for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holders because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the Holders shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert Series A Preferred Stock.

(f) Conversion Price Adjustment. The Conversion Price and the number and kind of shares of stock of the Corporation issuable on conversion shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

(i) Subdivisions and Stock Splits. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the First Tranche Closing Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the First Tranche Closing Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this Section 8(f)(i) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(ii) Certain Dividends and Distributions. If at any time or from time to time after the First Tranche Closing Date the Corporation shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, if such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 8(f)(ii) as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) no such adjustment shall be made if the Holders simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of such Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

(iii) Other Dividends and Distributions. If at any time or from time to time after the First Tranche Closing Date the Corporation shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property, then and in each such event the Holders shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

(iv) Deferral of Issuance of Additional Shares in Connection with Conversions between a Record Date and Occurrence of Triggering Event.

In any case in which this Section 8(f) requires that an adjustment as a result of any event becomes effective from and after a record date, the Corporation may elect to defer until after the occurrence of the event issuing to the Holders of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted after the record date and before the occurrence of the event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares issuable on the basis of the Conversion Price in effect immediately before adjustment. In any such case, the Corporation shall issue or cause a transfer agent to issue evidence, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, of the right to receive the shares as to which the issuance is deferred.

(v) Postponement of Small Adjustments.

Any adjustment in the Conversion Price otherwise required to be made by this Section 8 may be postponed until the day prior to the Conversion Date.

(vi) No Adjustment for Participating Transactions.

The Corporation shall not make any adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(f) if Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are permitted to participate, concurrently with the holders of Common Stock and on an as-converted basis, in any transaction described in this Section 8(f).

(vii) No Adjustment for Other Actions or Transactions.

No adjustment shall be made to the conversion rights of the Series A Preferred Stock except as specifically set forth in this Section 8(f), including, but not limited to, any private or public equity or equity-linked offerings effected by the Company.

(viii) Successive Adjustments; Multiple Adjustments.

After an adjustment is made to the Conversion Price under this Section 8, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Section 8 shall cause an adjustment to such Conversion Price, as so adjusted.

Voting Rights.

Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by the DGCL, the Series A Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, (i) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation, amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation, or file any articles of amendment, certificate of designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of any series of preferred stock, if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Series A Preferred Stock in a manner materially different than the effect on the Common Stock, regardless of whether any of the foregoing actions shall be by means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise, (ii) issue further shares of Series A Preferred Stock or increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock (other than the First Tranche and the Second Tranche), or (iii) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.

Uncertificated Shares and Certificated Shares; Transfer of Shares; Record Holders.

(a) Restrictive Legends.

(i) Legends. Until such time as the Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock issued upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or the Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each book-entry account or certificate issued with respect to a share of Series A Preferred Stock or any Common Stock issued upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock will, in addition to any legend required in respect of any applicable Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement or any other agreement applicable to such shares, contain a legend in substantially the following form:

THIS SECURITY HAS BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND WITHOUT A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION AND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THIS SECURITY OR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION THEREIN MAY BE MADE EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR (B) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND, IN THE CASE OF CLAUSE (B), UNLESS THE ISSUER RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. IN ADDITION, ANY SUCH TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN A CONVERTIBLE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED [●], 2024. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE HOLDERS HEREOF UPON REQUEST.

(ii) Removal of Legend. In connection with a sale of the Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock issued upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, in reliance on Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, the applicable Holder or its broker shall deliver to the Corporation a broker representation letter providing to the Corporation any information the Corporation reasonably deems necessary to determine that such sale is made in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, including, as may be appropriate, a certification as to the length of time the applicable equity interests have been held. Upon receipt of such representation letter, the Corporation shall promptly remove the restrictive legend, and the Corporation shall bear all costs associated with the removal of such legend. At such time as Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock issued upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, (A) have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (B) have been held by the applicable Holders for more than one year where the Holders are not, and have not been in the preceding three months, affiliates of the Corporation (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act), or (C) no longer require such restrictive legend, as set forth in an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, if the restrictive legend is still in place, the Corporation agrees, upon request of such Holders, to take all steps necessary to promptly effect the removal of such legend, and the Corporation shall bear all costs associated with such removal of such legend. The Corporation shall cooperate with the applicable Holders to effect the removal of such legend at any time such legend is no longer appropriate.

(b) Shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(i) Form and Dating. Unless otherwise requested in writing by a Holder to the Corporation, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof shall be in uncertificated, book-entry form. If certificated shares of Series A Preferred Stock are requested by a Holder, then certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the Transfer Agent’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Certificate of Designation. Each Series A Preferred Stock certificate may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law or stock exchange rules, provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Corporation. Each Series A Preferred Stock certificate will be dated the date of its authentication.

(ii) Execution and Authentication. Two officers of the Corporation shall sign each Series A Preferred Stock certificate for the Corporation by manual or facsimile signature.

(A) If an officer of the Corporation whose signature is on a Series A Preferred Stock certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Transfer Agent authenticates the Series A Preferred Stock certificate, the Series A Preferred Stock certificate will be valid nevertheless.

(B) A Series A Preferred Stock certificate will not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Series A Preferred Stock certificate. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Series A Preferred Stock certificate has been authenticated under this Certificate of Designation.

(C) The Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver certificates for shares of Series A Preferred Stock for original issue upon a written order of the Corporation signed by two officers of the Corporation. Such order will specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of the Series A Preferred Stock is to be authenticated.

(D) The Transfer Agent may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to authenticate the certificates for the Series A Preferred Stock. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate certificates for the Series A Preferred Stock whenever the Transfer Agent may do so. Each reference in this Certificate of Designation to authentication by the Transfer Agent includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Transfer Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

(iii) Transfer. When any certificate representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock is presented to the Transfer Agent with a request to register the transfer of such shares, the Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that such shares being surrendered for transfer will be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the Holders thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and accompanied by a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto.

(iv) Replacement Certificates. If any of the Series A Preferred Stock certificates are mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall issue, in exchange and in substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Series A Preferred Stock certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Series A Preferred Stock certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Series A Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent amount of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Series A Preferred Stock certificate and indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to the Corporation and the Transfer Agent.

(v) Cancellation. In the event the Corporation purchases or otherwise acquires certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the same will thereupon be delivered to the Transfer Agent for cancellation. The Transfer Agent and no one else shall cancel and destroy all Series A Preferred Stock certificates surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Corporation unless the Corporation directs the Transfer Agent to deliver canceled Series A Preferred Stock certificates to the Corporation. The Corporation may not issue new Series A Preferred Stock certificates to replace Series A Preferred Stock certificates to the extent they evidence Series A Preferred Stock which the Corporation has purchased or otherwise acquired.

(c) Record Holders. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent and the Corporation may deem and treat the Person in whose name such shares are registered as the absolute owner of such Series A Preferred Stock, and neither the Transfer Agent nor the Corporation shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(d) No Obligation of the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent will have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Certificate of Designation or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Series A Preferred Stock other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Certificate of Designation, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

11.

No Other Rights.

Without limiting the rights and obligations of the Corporation and any Holder of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to any contract or agreement between the Corporation and any such Holder of Series A Preferred Stock, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not have any powers, designations, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, nor will there be any qualifications, limitations or restrictions or any powers, designations, preferences or rights of such shares, other than as set forth in this Certificate of Designation, the Certificate of Incorporation, the bylaws of the Corporation or as may be provided by law.

(a) The Holder’s right to payment of all or any portion of the Outstanding Amount under this Note and any other Trina Notes is and shall remain, (i) senior or pari passu in right of payment to all other Indebtedness except for (1) the Senior Secured Credit Facility and (2) any Indebtedness which would not cause an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10(f)(i) or Section 10(f)(iii), and (ii) senior in right of payment to all preferred Equity Interests and Common Stock of the Issuer.

(b) The Issuer shall not permit any payment to be made on or in respect of any preferred Equity Interests of the Issuer (a “Preferred Equity Payment”) if at such time the Issuer shall be in default in the making of any payment of principal or interest then due to the Holder on this Note (a “Note Payment Default”), or if a Note Payment Default would result from the making of any such Preferred Equity Payment. Any such Preferred Equity Payment otherwise due but remaining unpaid as a result of the application of the foregoing restriction shall continue to accrue and shall be permitted to be paid at such time as no Note Payment Default shall then exist or would result from the making of such Preferred Equity Payment.

The Issuer and the Holder shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of this Note or the new Note for all purposes, including, without limitation, the right to receive payments hereunder, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Note may be assigned or sold in whole but not in part, to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 8(a) and any other terms hereof, only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. This Section 8(b) shall be construed so that such obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any related regulations (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

(a) the failure of the Issuer to pay any amounts due under this Note when due, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration or otherwise;

(g) any Commercial Agreement is terminated as a result of a material breach by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (after giving effect to any applicable cure or grace period); or

(h) the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries: (i) fails to pay any principal or interest in respect of any Indebtedness when due and such failure continues after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to such Indebtedness; or (ii) fails to perform or observe any other covenant, term, condition or agreement relating to any Indebtedness referred to in clause (i) above or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing or relating thereto, or any other event occurs or condition exists, the effect of which failure or other event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders or beneficiary or beneficiaries of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders or beneficiary or beneficiaries) to cause, with the giving of notice, if required, such Indebtedness to become due or to be repurchased, prepaid, defeased or redeemed (automatically or otherwise), or an offer to repurchase, prepay, defease or redeem such Indebtedness to be made, prior to its stated maturity; or any such Indebtedness is declared to be due and payable, or required to be prepaid or redeemed (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment or redemption), purchased or defeased, or an offer to prepay, redeem, purchase or defease such Indebtedness shall be required to be made, in each case prior to the stated maturity thereof, provided that a default, event or condition described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 10(h) shall not at any time constitute an Event of Default unless, at such time, one or more defaults, events or conditions of the type described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 10(h) has occurred and is continuing with respect to Indebtedness the outstanding principal amount of which exceeds in the aggregate $5,000,000 (five million United States dollars).

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Outstanding Amount under this Note shall become immediately due and payable upon election of the Holder without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Issuer; provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 10(c) or (d), the Outstanding Amount under this Note shall be accelerated and become due and payable automatically and immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Issuer. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Holder may, in addition to declaring all amounts due hereunder to be immediately due and payable (or in addition to such amounts becoming automatically due and payable), pursue any available remedy, whether at law or in equity.

11. No Rights as a Stockholder. This Note does not by itself entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Issuer. 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 Issuer for any purpose. However, if the Issuer pays a dividend on outstanding shares of Common Stock (that is not payable in shares of Common Stock) while this Note is outstanding, the Issuer will pay the Dividend Amount to the Holder at the same time.

12. Miscellaneous.

(a) Powers and Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy. No delay or omission of the Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Note or by law may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Holder.

(b) Modifications of Note. This Note may not be amended, restated, renewed, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing executed by the Issuer and the Holder.

(i) This Note, and all claims, causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) or other matter that may result from, arise out of, be in connection with or relating to this Note, or the negotiation, administration, performance, or enforcement of this Note, including any claim or cause of action resulting from, arising out of, in connection with, or relating to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Note, shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision, rule, or principle (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Each of the Issuer and the Holder agrees that a final judgment in any Action in the Chosen Courts shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions, either within or outside of the U.S., by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable law. A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment. With respect to any Action for which it has submitted to jurisdiction pursuant to this Section 12(c), each party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for the giving of notices pursuant to Section 12(f).

WHEREAS, the Company and the Stockholder desire to enter into an agreement regarding the composition of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and certain other matters, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Stockholder and the Company agree as follows:

Section 1. Board of Directors.

(a) Trina Directors.

(i) For such time as the Stockholder, directly or indirectly, holds the Initial Investment, the Stockholder shall be entitled to designate for nomination by the Board one (1) director from time to time. If at any time the Stockholder beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate fifteen percent (15%) or more of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Stockholder shall be entitled to designate for nomination by the Board two (2) directors (with such directors having the qualifications as set forth in Section 1(d)) from time to time (any director designated by the Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1(a)(i), the “Trina Director”). The Stockholder shall not be entitled to designate any Trina Directors if at any time the Stockholder ceases to hold, directly or indirectly, the entire Initial Investment.

(ii) Within two (2) Business Days following (1) the Effective Date, the Board and all applicable committees thereof shall take (or shall have taken) such actions as are necessary to appoint the first (1^st) Trina Director as a member of the Board, and (2) the Conversion, the Board and all applicable committees thereof shall take (or shall have taken) such actions as are necessary to appoint the second (2^nd) Trina Director as a member of the Board, each with an initial term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company at which directors of the Company are to be elected or removed following such appointment (the “Annual Meeting”).

(iii) The initial Trina Directors shall be [●] following the Effective Date and [●] following the Conversion, provided that Trina has the right to change its director nominations by sending a written notice indicating such intention to the Company not less than ten (10) Business Days before the date of their appointment.

(b) Vacancies and Replacements.

(i) If the number of Trina Directors that the Stockholder has the right to designate to the Board is decreased pursuant to Section 1(a) (each such occurrence, a “Decrease in Designation Rights”), then:

(1) unless a majority of directors (with the Trina Directors abstaining) agree in writing that a Trina Director or Trina Directors shall not resign as a result of a Decrease in Designation Rights, the Stockholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the appropriate number of Trina Directors that the Stockholder ceases to have the right to designate to serve as Trina Directors to offer to tender his, her or their resignation(s), and each of such Trina Directors so tendering a resignation, as applicable, shall resign within thirty (30) days from the date that the Stockholder incurs a Decrease in Designation Rights. In the event any such Trina Director does not resign as a director by such time as is required by the foregoing, the Stockholder as holder of shares of Common Stock, the Company and the Board, to the fullest extent permitted by law and, with respect to the Board, subject to its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders, shall thereafter take all Necessary Action, including voting in accordance with Section 2(a), to cause the removal of such individual as a director; and

(2) the vacancy or vacancies created by such resignation(s) and/or removal(s) may be filled with one or more directors, as applicable, designated by the Board in its discretion.

(ii) The Stockholder shall have the sole right to request that one or more of its designated Trina Directors, as applicable, tender their resignations as Trina Directors of the Board, in each case, with or without cause at any time, by sending a written notice to such Trina Director and the Company’s Secretary stating the name of the Trina Director or Trina Directors whose resignation from the Board is requested (the “Removal Notice”). If the Trina Director subject to such Removal Notice does not resign within thirty (30) days from receipt thereof by such Trina Director, the Stockholder, the Company and the Board, to the fullest extent permitted by law and, with respect to the Board, subject to its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders, shall thereafter take all Necessary Action, including voting in accordance with Section 2(a) to cause the removal of such Trina Director from the Board (and such Trina Director shall only be removed by the parties to this Agreement in such manner as provided herein).

(iii) Except with respect to a Decrease in Designation Rights subject to Section 1(b)(i), the Stockholder shall have the exclusive right to designate a replacement Trina Director for nomination or election by the Board to fill vacancies created by death, disability, retirement, resignation, removal (with or without cause) of the Trina Directors, or otherwise by designating a successor for nomination or election by the Board to fill the vacancy of the Trina Directors created thereby on the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 1(a).

(c) Annual Meeting Nominees. The Company shall include the Trina Director(s) as director nominee(s) on its slate for election at each Annual Meeting for as long as the Stockholder has the right to designate Trina Directors to the Board. The Board and all applicable committees thereof shall take such actions as are necessary so that the slate of nominees recommended by the Board in the Company’s proxy statement and on its proxy card relating to the Annual Meeting shall include the Trina Director(s).

(d) Trina Director Information. Any Trina Director designated, including those designated pursuant to Section 1(a)(iii), by the Stockholder shall be eligible to serve as a director in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company, applicable law and the listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, as determined by the Board (to the extent such determination with respect to the New York Stock Exchange corporate governance rules and regulations is within the Board’s discretion to determine). The Trina Director(s) agree(s) to provide and the Stockholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure the Trina Director(s) provide(s) to the Company (x) information requested by the Company that is required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing under any applicable law, stock exchange rule, or listing standard, or as may be requested or required by any regulatory or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Company or its Affiliates and (y) such other information reasonably requested by the Company generally applicable to directors of the Company.

(e) New Director Agreements, Arrangements, and Understandings. The Stockholder represents, warrants, and agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates (i) has paid or will pay any compensation to the Trina Director in connection with their nomination to or service on the Board or any committee thereof or (ii) has or will have any agreement, arrangement or understanding, written, or oral, with the Trina Director in connection with such individual’s nomination to or service on the Board or any committee thereof, in each case except with respect to any employment arrangements between the Trina Directors and the Stockholder or its Affiliates.

provided, that the restrictions in this Section 2(b) shall terminate automatically upon the earliest of the following: (i) any material breach of this Agreement by the Company (including, without limitation, a failure to appoint the Trina Directors in accordance with Section 1(a), a failure to include the Trina Directors in the slate of director nominees recommended by the Board in the Company’s proxy statement and on its proxy card relating to each Annual Meeting in accordance with Section 1(b), or a failure to issue the Press Release in accordance with Section 5 upon ten (10) Business Days’ written notice by the Stockholder to the Company if such breach has not been cured within such notice period, provided, that the Stockholder is not in material breach of this Agreement at the time such notice is given or prior to the end of the notice period; (ii) the Company’s entry into (x) a definitive agreement with respect to any Extraordinary Transaction that, if consummated, would result in the acquisition by any Person or Group of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Voting Securities or assets having an aggregate value exceeding fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate market capitalization of the Company; and (iii) the commencement of any tender or exchange offer (by any Person or Group other than the Stockholder or its Affiliates) which, if consummated, would constitute an Extraordinary Transaction that would result in the acquisition by any Person or Group of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Voting Securities, where the Company files with the SEC a Schedule 14D-9 (or amendment thereto) that does not recommend that its stockholders reject such tender or exchange offer (it being understood that nothing herein will prevent the Company from issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act in response to the commencement of any tender or exchange offer). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement (including the restrictions in this Section 2(b)) will prohibit or restrict any Restricted Person from (I) making any public or private statement or announcement with respect to any Extraordinary Transaction that is publicly announced by the Company or a Third Party, (II) making any factual statement to comply with any subpoena or other legal process or respond to a request for information from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Restricted Person, (III) negotiating, evaluating and/or trading, directly or indirectly, in any index fund, exchange traded fund, benchmark fund which may contain or otherwise reflect the performance of, but not primarily consist of, securities of the Company, or (IV) communicating with the Company privately to any director, the Executive Chairperson of the Board, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Legal Officer, and its advisors and employees (in accordance with the Company Policies) regarding any matter, or privately requesting a waiver of any provision of this Agreement, as long as such private communications or requests does not or would not reasonably be expected to require public disclosure of such communications or requests by the Company or any of the Restricted Persons.

(i) The Stockholder shall not Transfer any shares of Common Stock that are held by the Stockholder during the period commencing from the date hereof and ending on the earlier of (a) the first (1st) anniversary of the date hereof, and (b) the date the Company receives a CFIUS Turndown (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) (the “Lock-Up Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during the Lock-up Period, Encompass Capital Advisors LLC notifies the Company that it must transfer shares because its aggregate investment in the Lock-Up Shares (as defined in the Encompass Lock-Up Agreement) constitutes more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Encompass Capital Advisors LLC’s assets under management, as determined by Encompass Capital Advisors LLC in its sole discretion (the “Permitted Window”), then the Stockholder may Transfer any shares it holds during the Permitted Window.

(ii) During the Lock-Up Period, subject to applicable law, the Stockholder shall be permitted to Transfer shares of Common Stock to any Affiliates of the Stockholder subject to the execution and delivery by such Affiliate to the Company of a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and provided, further, that if such Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate of the Stockholder, then the shares of Common Stock transferred to and held by such Affiliate shall immediately be transferred back to the Stockholder or an Affiliate of the Stockholder at such time.

(iii) If any Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such transferee of the shares of Common Stock as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 2(c)(iii), the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock of the Stockholder (and any permitted transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

(iv) During the Lock-Up Period, each book entry evidencing the shares of Common Stock held by the Stockholder shall include appropriate restrictions to reflect the fact that such shares of Common Stock are subject to the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Agreement.

(v) For the avoidance of any doubt, the Stockholder shall retain all of its rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any shares of Common Stock.

(d) Stockholder’s Rights. In addition to any voting requirements contained in the organizational documents of the Company, the Company shall not Transfer all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company in the United States, taken as a whole (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) without the prior written approval of the Stockholder until the earlier of (i) such time as the Stockholder ceases to hold, directly or indirectly, the entire Initial Investment, and (ii) the end of the Lock-Up Period.

(e) Anti-Dilution Rights.

(i) Subject to applicable law, so long as the Stockholder holds securities in the Company, in the event that the Company decides to issue any new Voting Securities (“Capital Raising Transaction”), the Stockholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as the other participants in such issuance, such number of newly issued Voting Securities, so that the Stockholder’s proportionate ownership of Voting Securities following the Capital Raising Transaction will be the same as before the Capital Raising Transaction (the “Capital Raising Anti-Dilution Right”).

(ii) The Company shall give written notice to the Stockholder (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance of Voting Securities, (1) in the case of an underwritten public offering or a private offering made to Qualified Institutional Buyers (as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or non-U.S. Persons (as such term is defined under Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) for resale pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, thirty (30) Business Days prior to the launch of such offering and (2) in all other cases, no later than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date. The Issuance Notice shall set forth the following terms and conditions of the proposed issuance: (a) the number of the securities to be issued or sold and the percentage of the outstanding Voting Securities such issuance or sale would represent; (b) the class and material terms of the securities to be issued or sold; (c) the proposed issuance or sale date; and (d) the anticipated price.

(iii) The Capital Raising Anti-Dilution Right shall be exercisable by delivery of a written notice by the Stockholder to the Company no later than the fifteen (15^th) Business Day following receipt of any Issuance Notice (as extended pursuant to Section 2(e)(iv), the “Capital Raising Issuance Deadline”), specifying the number of securities to be purchased by the Stockholder in connection with such Capital Raising Transaction, which written notice shall, except to the extent expressly contemplated by Section 2(e)(iv), constitute a binding agreement of the Stockholder to purchase such number of securities on the terms and conditions set out in the Issuance Notice (the “Capital Raising Acceptance Notice”).

(iv) In the event that any material terms and conditions set out in the Issuance Notice, including the price and number of Voting Securities to be issued, are modified after the date of the Capital Raising Acceptance Notice, then the Company shall deliver to the Stockholder as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company agrees to such change, an updated Issuance Notice, which shall include a reasonable description of such differences and, in that case, the Capital Raising Issuance Deadline shall be seventy-two (72) hours following the date on which the Stockholder receives such updated Issuance Notice.

(v) The closing of any purchase by the Stockholder shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the Capital Raising Transaction; provided, that any such closing shall be extended beyond the closing of the Capital Raising Transaction to the extent necessary (1) to obtain any required approval of a Governmental Entity or (2) to the extent the Company’s stockholder approval is required under the applicable stock exchange rules, in which case the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any such approval(s).

(vi) If the Stockholder shall not have delivered a Capital Raising Acceptance Notice to the Company by the Capital Raising Issuance Deadline, the Stockholder shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights under this Section 2(e) with respect to the purchase of the securities in such Capital Raising Transaction, provided, however, such waiver only refers to such specific Capital Raising Transaction as indicated in the Capital Raising Acceptance Notice, and under no circumstances does it represent the Stockholder’s waiver of its rights under this Section 2(e) for any future Capital Raising Transaction.

(vii) In the event that the Stockholder fails to exercise the Capital Raising Anti-Dilution Right by the Capital Raising Issuance Deadline, the Company shall thereafter be entitled during the period of ninety (90) days following Capital Raising Issuance Deadline to sell the Voting Securities not elected to be purchased by the Stockholder pursuant to this Section 2(e), (1) at a price that is not ten percent (10%) less than the price set out in the Issuance Notice and (2) upon other terms and conditions not materially more favorable in the aggregate to the purchasers of such Voting Securities than those set out in the Issuance Notice, as determined in good faith by the Board (a “Third Party Issuance”). In the event the Company has not sold such Voting Securities by the Capital Raising Issuance Deadline, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell such Voting Securities without first offering such Voting Securities to the Stockholder in the manner provided pursuant to this Section 2(e). If such Third Party Issuance is subject to regulatory approval, the Capital Raising Issuance Deadline in respect of such Third Party Issuance shall be extended until the expiration of five (5) Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than two hundred and seventy (270) days from the date of the Issuance Notice.

(viii) The provisions of this Section 2(e) shall not apply to any issuances of Voting Securities by the Company (1) to its directors or employees for compensatory purposes pursuant to an equity incentive plan approved by the Board, (2) as consideration in a bona fide direct or indirect merger, acquisition, strategic transaction, partnership or alliance or similar transaction that is approved by the Board or any other strategic or commercial transaction that is approved by the Board in which the Company issues Voting Securities, or (3) in connection with any pro rata stock split, combination, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization or any similar transaction in each case, in which the voting and economic rights of the shares of Common Stock are preserved.

(ix) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Board reasonably determines in good faith that there is a bona fide business need to consummate an issuance of Voting Securities promptly without first complying with this Section 2(e), the Company may issue Voting Securities to one or more Persons without first complying with the terms of Section 2(e) (such an issuance an “Emergency Issuance”), as promptly as is reasonably practicable following such Emergency Issuance (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days), at the Company’s election, (1) the purchasers of such Voting Securities shall offer to sell to the Stockholder the portion of such purchased Voting Securities for which the Stockholder would have been entitled to subscribe had the Company complied with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2(e) or (2) the Company shall offer to issue an incremental amount of Voting Securities to the Stockholder such that following the issuance and purchase of such Voting Securities, the Stockholder’s proportionate ownership of Voting Securities following the Emergency Issuance will be the same as before the Emergency Issuance, in each case, at a price no more than that paid by such purchasers and on substantially the same, and no less favorable in the aggregate, terms, with any such amendments as the Stockholder may agree to, as those applicable to such purchasers.

Upon the written request of any such Holder made within seven (7) calendar days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered; provided that (i) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold thereunder, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the registration expenses pursuant to Section 6 hereof in connection therewith), without prejudice to the rights of the Holders to request that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 3, and (ii) if such registration involves an underwritten offering, all Holders requesting to be included in the Company’s registration and to participate in the underwritten offering must enter into an underwriting agreement to sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Company on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company, with such differences, including any with respect to indemnification and liability, as are customary in combined primary and secondary offerings by the Company and the Investor. If a registration requested pursuant to this Section 2(a) involves an underwritten public offering, any Holder requesting to be included in such registration may elect, in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration , prior to the launch of such takedown, not to register such securities in connection with such registration. The Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for a registration requested pursuant to this Section 2(a) beyond the earlier to occur of (i) one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days after the effective date thereof and (ii) consummation of the distribution by the Holders of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. Any Holder of Registrable Securities who has elected to sell Registrable Securities in an offering pursuant to this Section 2 shall be permitted to withdraw from such registration by written notice to the Company if the price to the public at which the Registrable Securities are proposed to be sold will be less than 90% of the average closing price of the class of stock being sold in the offering during the ten (10) trading days preceding the date on which the notice of such offering was given pursuant to this Section 2(a).

(b) Priority in Incidental Registrations. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit Holders who have requested to include Registrable Securities in such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities so requested to be included on the same terms and conditions as any other shares of capital stock, if any, of the Company included in the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten offering have informed the Company in writing that it is their good faith opinion that the total amount of securities that are intended to be included in such offering is such as to adversely affect the success of such offering (including adversely affect the per-share offering price), then the amount of securities to be offered shall be reduced to the amount recommended by such managing underwriter or underwriters in its or their good faith opinion, which will be allocated in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities to be proposed to be sold by the Company for its own account, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities of the Investor, (iii) third, the Registrable Securities of the Holders other than the Investor that have requested to participate in such underwritten offering, allocated pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering by such Holders and (iv) fourth, for the account of any other holders of Common Stock that have requested to be included in such underwritten offering as a result of registration rights or otherwise.

Section 3. Registration on Request.

(a) Request by the Demand Party. Subject to the following paragraphs of this Section 3(a), unless the Company has an effective Short Form Registration Statement on file pursuant to Section 3(e) below, each Holder shall have the right, by delivering a written notice to the Company, to require the Company to register, (in the case of a Holder who is subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement during the Lock-Up Period, for sales to occur following expiration of the Lock-Up Period) and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, the number of Registrable Securities of such Holder requested to be so registered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (any such written notice, a “Demand Notice”, any such registration, a “Demand Registration” and any such Holder, a “Demand Party”); provided, however, that a Demand Notice may only be made if the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered by such Holder is reasonably expected to result in aggregate gross cash proceeds in excess of USD 50,000,000 (without regard to any underwriting discount or commission); provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement relating to any registration request under this Section 3(a), (i) within the period or such shorter period as may be specified by the Company’s insider trading policy as applicable to Company employees generally (the “Quarterly Blackout Period”) commencing on the fifth (5^th) full Business Day before the end of the last month of the quarter and ending after the second (2^nd) full Business Day following the release of the Company’s earnings for that quarter or (ii) within a period of sixty (60) calendar days after the effective date of any other registration statement relating to any registration request under this Section 3(a). Following receipt of a Demand Notice for a Demand Registration in accordance with this Section 3(a), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a Registration Statement as promptly as practicable within forty five (45) calendar days immediately after the Company’s receipt of such Demand Registration and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof.

(i) No Demand Registration shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Section 3 if (i) the Registration Statement relating thereto (x) does not become effective, (y) is not maintained effective for the period required pursuant to this Section 3 or (z) the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement is subject to a stop order, injunction, or similar order or requirement of the SEC during such period, in which case, such requesting Holder shall be entitled to an additional Demand Registration in lieu thereof, (ii) more than seventy five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities requested by the Demand Party to be included in the registration are not so included pursuant to Section 3(b) or (iii) in the case of a Demand Registration for an underwritten offering, the conditions to closing specified in any underwriting agreement, purchase agreement or similar agreement entered into in connection with the registration relating to such request are not satisfied (other than as a result of a material default or breach thereunder by such Demand Party) or otherwise waived by such Demand Party; provided that the Company’s obligation to pay the registration expenses pursuant to Section 6 hereof in connection therewith shall still apply.

(ii) As promptly as practicable within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Company of a Demand Notice in accordance with this Section 3(a), the Company shall give written notice (the “Demand Follow-up Notice”) of such Demand Notice to all other Holders and shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof, include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company received written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) calendar days after such Demand Follow-up Notice is given by the Company to such Holders, provided that the Company shall not provide a Demand Follow-up Notice to any other Holder or holder of the Company’s equity securities in the case of a sale of Registrable Securities by the Investor by means of a bought deal, a block trade or a similar transaction that is an underwritten offering (a “Block Sale”).

(iii) All requests made pursuant to this Section 3 will specify the number of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended methods of disposition thereof.

(iv) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to any Demand Registration for a period of at least one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days after the effective date thereof or such shorter period during which all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have actually been sold; provided, however, that such period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such Registration Statement at the request of the Company or an underwriter of the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Priority on Demand Registration. If any of the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Demand Registration are to be sold in a firm commitment underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Holders of such securities in writing that in its or their good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering is such as to adversely affect the success of such offering (including, without limitation, securities proposed to be included by other holders of securities entitled to include securities in such Registration Statement pursuant to incidental or piggyback registration rights), then there shall be included in such firm commitment underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities that in the good faith opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as follows, unless the underwriter or underwriters require a different allocation:

(i) first, to the Investor until all Registrable Securities requested for registration by the Investor have been included in such registration;

(ii) second, to any Holders other than the Investor requesting such Demand Registration (whether pursuant to a Demand Notice or pursuant to incidental or piggyback registration rights) among such Holders pro rata on the basis of the percentage of Registrable Securities owned by each such Holder relative to the number of Registrable Securities owned by all such Holders;

(iii) third, the securities for which inclusion in such Demand Registration, as the case may be, was requested by any other holders of Common Stock as a result of registration rights or otherwise; and

(iv) fourth, the securities for which inclusion in such Demand Registration was requested by the Company.

(c) Cancellation of a Demand Registration. Each Demand Party and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities which are to be registered in a particular offering pursuant to this Section 3 shall have the right, prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, to notify the Company that it or they, as the case may be, has or have determined that such Registration Statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall abandon or withdraw such registration statement. Any Holder who has elected to sell Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 3 (including the Demand Party of such Demand Registration) shall be permitted to withdraw from such registration by written notice to the Company if the price to the public at which the Registrable Securities are proposed to be sold will be less than 90% of the average closing price of the class of stock being sold in the offering during the ten (10) trading days preceding the date on which the Demand Notice of such offering was given pursuant to Section 3(a).

(d) Postponements in Requested Registrations. If the Company shall at any time furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by its chairman of the board or chief executive officer stating that the filing of a Registration Statement, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company, (i) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or (ii) materially interfere with any material proposed acquisition, disposition, financing, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries then under consideration, the Company may postpone the filing (but not the preparation) of a Registration Statement required by this Section 3 until such circumstance is no longer continuing but not to exceed sixty (60) days (such period, a “Postponement Period”); provided that the Company shall at all times in good faith use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause any Registration Statement required by this Section 3 to be filed as soon as possible; provided, further, that the Company shall not be permitted to commence a Postponement Period pursuant to this Section 3(d) more than once in any 180-day period. The Company shall promptly give the Holders requesting registration thereof pursuant to this Section 3 written notice of any postponement made in accordance with the preceding sentence.

(e) Short Form Registration Statement.

(i) The Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days following the date on which the Investor’s PCAOB Audited Financials (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) become available, the Company shall file with the SEC a Short Form Registration Statement (on Form S-3 to the extent permissible) (a “Short Form Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all Registrable Securities, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Short Form Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 120th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Short Form Registration Statement and (ii) the 10th Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Short Form Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, however, that the Company obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Short Form Registration Statement are contingent upon the Holder furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Holder, the Registrable Securities and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably necessary and requested by the Company to effect the registration, and the Holder shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Short Form Registration Statement, if applicable, during any customary blackout or similar period. Upon filing the Short Form Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Short Form Registration Statement effective with the SEC at all times and to re-file such Short Form Registration Statement upon its expiration, and subject to Section 3(f), to cooperate in any shelf take-down, whether or not underwritten, by amending or supplementing the Prospectus related to such Short Form Registration Statement as may be reasonably requested by the Holders or as otherwise required, until such time as all Registrable Securities that could be sold in such Short Form Registration Statement have been sold or are no longer outstanding.

(ii) To the extent that the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3, the Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-1 registering the Registrable Securities for resale not later than sixty (60) calendar days after the date of such ineligibility and use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as promptly as practicable.

(f) Selection of Underwriters. If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 3 involves an underwritten offering, the investment banker(s) and manager(s) and lead investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering shall be chosen by the Demand Party, provided that if a Holder other than the Investor is the Demand Party, the investment banker(s) and manager(s) and lead investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering shall be chosen by the Investor, provided, further, that if a Holder other than the Demand Party will sell at least fifty percent (50%) of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering and the Investor is not participating in such offering, the investment banker(s) and manager(s) and lead investment banker(s) and manager(s) shall be chosen by such other Holder, in each case subject to the approval of the Company (not to be unreasonably delayed or withheld). If the offering is underwritten, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 3 will be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise agreed by the Demand Party), and each such Holder will (together with the Company and the other Holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting (including pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the managing underwriter(s)); provided that (x) no Holder shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder has requested the Company to include in any registration and (y) if any Holder disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw prior to launching the applicable underwritten offering by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter or underwriters and, in connection with an underwritten registration pursuant to this Section 3, the Demand Party.

Section 4. Registration Procedures.

(a) If and whenever the Company is required to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 2 and Section 3 hereof, the Company shall effect such registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall cooperate in the sale of the securities and shall, as expeditiously as possible:

(i) prepare and file, in each case as promptly as practicable, with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements on such form as shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof or by the Company in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, make all required filings with FINRA and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable and to remain effective as provided herein; provided, however, that before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including any free writing prospectuses under Rule 433 under the Securities Act (each a “Free Writing Prospectus”) and including such documents that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to the Holders of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, their counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review and comment of such counsel, and such other documents reasonably requested by such counsel, including any comment letter from the SEC, and, if requested by such counsel, provide such counsel reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and each Prospectus included therein and such other opportunities to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, including reasonable access to the Company’s books and records, officers, accountants and other advisors. The Company shall not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (including any Free Writing Prospectuses and including such documents that, upon filing, would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) with respect to a Demand Registration to which the Demand Party, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or their counsel, or the managing underwriters, 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) subject to Section 3(e), prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, post-effective amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith and such Free Writing Prospectuses and Exchange Act reports as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective during the period provided herein and comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement; and cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then in force) under the Securities Act, in each case, until such time as all of such securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement;

(iii) notify each selling Holder, its counsel and the managing underwriters, if any, promptly, and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment or any Free Writing Prospectus has been filed, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if at any time the Company has reason to believe that the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 4(a)(xiv) below cease to be true and correct, (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, and (vi) of the happening of any event that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement, related Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (which notice shall notify the selling Holders only of the occurrence of such an event and shall provide no additional information regarding such event to the extent such information would constitute material non-public information);

(iv) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction at the earliest date reasonably practical;

(v) if requested by the managing underwriters, if any, the Demand Party with respect to the offering or the Holders of a majority of the then-issued and 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 managing underwriters, if any, or such Demand Party or Holders, as the case may be, may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 4(a) that are not, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, in compliance with applicable law;

(vi) deliver to each selling Holder of Registrable Securities, its counsel, and the underwriters, if any, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of Prospectus) and each amendment, supplement or post-effective amendment thereto as such Persons may reasonably request from time to time in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Securities; and the Company, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 4, hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any such amendment or supplement thereto;

(vii) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities, 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 for offer and sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any seller or underwriter reasonably requests in writing 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 to take any other action that may be necessary or advisable to enable such Holders of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdiction in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so required to qualify but for this paragraph (g) or (ii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject (other than service of process in connection with such registration or qualification or any sale of Registrable Securities in connection therewith);

(viii) cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Securities and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any legends) representing Registrable Securities to be sold after receiving written representations from each Holder of such Registrable Securities that the Registrable Securities represented by the certificates so delivered by such Holder will be transferred in accordance with the Registration Statement, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriters, if any, or Holders may request;

(ix) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities within the United States as may be necessary in light of the business or operations of the Company to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the managing underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof, except as may be required solely as a consequence of the nature of such selling Holder’s business, in which case the Company will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing of such Registration Statement and the granting of such approvals, as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof;

(x) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4(a)(iii)(vi) above, promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(xi) prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities, provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable Securities;

(xii) 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 (and in connection therewith, if reasonably required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be delivered to such transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions reasonably required by the transfer agent which authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Registrable Securities without any legend upon sale by the Holder or the underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, if any, of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement);

(xiii) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all shares of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be listed on the NYSE or other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement (or, if no Common Stock issued by the Company is then listed on any securities exchange, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be so listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ, as determined by the Company);

(xiv) enter into such agreements (including an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings) and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the Demand Party or the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith (including those reasonably requested by the managing underwriters, if any) to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in such connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into and whether or not the registration is an underwritten registration, (i) make such representations and warranties to 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 to underwriters in underwritten offerings, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to the underwriters, if any, opinions of outside counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the managing underwriters, if any), addressed to each of the underwriters, if any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such counsel and underwriters, (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters and updates thereof from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement) who have certified the financial statements included in such Registration Statement, addressed to each selling Holder (unless such accountants shall be prohibited from so addressing such letters by applicable standards of the accounting profession) and each of the underwriters, if any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with underwritten offerings, (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures substantially to the effect set forth in Section 4 hereof with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to said Section except as otherwise agreed by the Holders, and (v) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriters, if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 4(a)(xiv)(i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement entered into between the Company and the managing underwriters. The above shall be done at each closing under such underwriting or similar agreement, or as and to the extent required thereunder;

(xv) make available for inspection by a representative of the selling Holders, any underwriter participating in any such disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any attorneys or accountants retained by such selling Holders or underwriter, at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information in each case reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that any information that is not generally publicly available at the time of delivery of such information shall be kept confidential by such Persons unless (i) disclosure of such information is required by court or administrative order, (ii) disclosure of such information, in the opinion of counsel to such Person, is required by law or applicable legal process, or (iii) such information becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure or failure to safeguard by such Person. In the case of a proposed disclosure pursuant to (i) or (ii) above, such Person shall be required to give the Company written notice of the proposed disclosure prior to such disclosure and, if requested by the Company, assist the Company in seeking to prevent or limit the proposed disclosure. Without limiting the foregoing, no such information shall be used by such Person as the basis for any market transactions in securities of the Company or its subsidiaries in violation of law;

(xvi) cause its officers, including its executive officers, to use their reasonable best efforts to support the marketing of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement (including, without limitation, participation in “road shows” and other customary marketing activities) taking into account the Company’s business needs; and

(xvii) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA.

(b) The Company may require each Holder as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the Company in writing such information required in connection with such registration regarding such seller and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing and the Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any Holder who unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request.

(c) The Company agrees not to file or make any amendment to any Registration Statement with respect to any Registrable Securities, or any amendment of or supplement to the Prospectus or any Free Writing Prospectus used in connection therewith, that refers to any Holder covered thereby by name, or otherwise identifies such Holder as the holder of any securities of the Company, without the consent of such Holder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless and to the extent such disclosure is required by law.

(d) If the Company files any Short Form Registration Statement for the benefit of the holders of any of its securities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, the Company agrees that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in such registration statement such disclosures as may be required by Rule 430B under the Securities Act (referring to the unnamed selling security holders in a generic manner by identifying the initial offering of the securities to the Holders) in order to ensure that such Holders may be added to such Short Form Registration Statement at a later time through the filing of a Prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment.

(e) The Company will not expressly name or identify any Holder as an “underwriter” in any Registration Statement or related document without such Holder’s prior written consent; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence will require the consent of any Holder in connection with the inclusion in any Registration Statement or related document of customary language, without specifically naming any Holder, that selling securityholders may in certain circumstances be considered to be underwriters under federal securities laws.

(f) Each Holder agrees if such Holder has Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 4(a)(iii)(ii), 4(a)(iii)(iii), 4(a)(iii)(iv), 4(a)(iii)(v) or 4(a)(iii)(vi) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or Prospectus until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 4(a)(x) hereof, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus; provided, however, that the time periods under Section 3 with respect to the length of time that the effectiveness of a Registration Statement must be maintained shall automatically be extended by the amount of time the Holder is required to discontinue disposition of such securities. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence will prohibit or restrict any Holder from selling or transferring Registrable Securities other than pursuant to a Registration Statement or Prospectus (including pursuant to Rule 144) subject to compliance by such Holder with applicable securities laws in connection with such sale or transfer.

Section 5. Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder whose Registrable Securities are or were covered by a Registration Statement or Prospectus, the directors, officers, partners, members, managers, shareholders, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls each such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the directors, officers, partners, members, managers, shareholders, agents and employees of each such controlling person, each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such underwriter (each such person being referred to herein as a “Covered Person”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any legal or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding), expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, offering circular, or other document (including any related Registration Statement, notification, or the like or Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein) incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 5(a)) will reimburse each such Covered Person for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such Loss, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission by such Covered Person related to such Covered Person or its Affiliates (other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Covered Person with respect to such Covered Person for use therein. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld), provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5(a) shall apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Loss or action even if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company if the Company does not timely reply to a request for its consent. For the avoidance of doubt, a person (and its officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, agents, employees and control persons as described above) that ceases to be a Holder will be entitled to indemnification in connection with Losses incurred as described above in such person’s capacity as a Holder.

(b) Indemnification by Holder. Subject to Section 5(a), the Holder shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, severally and not jointly with any other Holders, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against all Losses arising out of or based on any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, offering circular, or other document, or any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will (without limitation of the portions of this Section 5(b)) reimburse the Company, such directors, officers and controlling persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, provided that the Holder will not be liable in any such case for such untrue statements or omissions made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus, offering circular, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information not furnished to the Company by such Holder that is contained Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular or other document; provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that the liability of such Holder shall be individual, not joint and several, for each Holder and shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular or other document containing such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) (less the aggregate amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such Loss or any substantially similar Loss arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities). As a condition to including Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement filed in accordance herewith, the Company may require that it shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from any underwriter to indemnify and hold it harmless to the extent customarily provided by underwriters with respect to similar securities.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Person shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party from which such indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided, however, that the delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or proceeding, to, unless in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume, or in the event of a conflict of interest cannot assume, the defense of such claim or proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ counsel and to assume the defense of such claim or proceeding at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; provided, further, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related claims or proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all of the Indemnified Parties, or for fees and expenses that are not reasonable. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably delayed or withheld). Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (x) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder or (y) involves the imposition of equitable remedies or the imposition of any obligations on the Indemnified Party or adversely affects such Indemnified Party other than as a result of financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (other than in accordance with its terms), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, 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 such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made (or omitted) by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission.

(i) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), an Indemnifying Party that is a selling Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds to such Holder from the Registrable Securities sold pursuant to the Registration Statement which gives rise to such obligation to contribute (less the aggregate amount of any damages which the Holder has otherwise been required to pay in respect of such Loss or any substantially similar Loss arising from the sale of such Registrable Securities). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. No selling Holder shall be liable for contribution under this Section 5(d), except under such circumstances as such selling Holder would have been liable for indemnification under this Section 5 if such indemnification were enforceable under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten offering are more favorable to the Holders than the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(e) Deemed Underwriter. To the extent that any of the Holders is, or would be expected to be, deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities pursuant to any SEC comments or policies or any court of law or otherwise, the Company agrees that (i) the indemnification and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall be applicable to the benefit of such Holder in its role as deemed underwriter in addition to its capacity as a Holder (so long as the amount for which any other Holder is or becomes responsible does not exceed the amount for which such Holder would be responsible if the Holder were not deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities) and (ii) such Holder and its representatives shall be entitled to conduct the due diligence which would normally be conducted in connection with an offering of securities registered under the Securities Act, including receipt of customary opinions and comfort letters.

(f) Non-Exclusivity. The obligations of the parties under this Section 5 shall be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other party.

Section 6. Registration Expenses. All reasonable fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company (including, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with the SEC, NYSE, or FINRA and (B) of compliance with securities or Blue Sky laws, including, without limitation, any fees and disbursements of counsel for the underwriters in connection with Blue Sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities, (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing Prospectuses if the printing of Prospectuses is requested by the managing underwriters, if any, the Demand Party or by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses of the Company, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) expenses of the Company incurred in connection with any road show, (vi) fees and disbursements of all independent certified public accountants (including, without limitation, the expenses of any “cold comfort” letters required by this Agreement) and any other persons, including special experts retained by the Company and (vii) reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements up to USD 100,000 of one counsel for the Holders whose shares are included in a Registration Statement (which counsel shall be selected as set forth in Section 8)) shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective and for each Demand Notice. In addition, the Company shall pay its internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the securities to be registered on the NYSE or such other national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed and rating agency fees and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company.

(a) The Company shall not be required to pay (i) fees and disbursements of any counsel retained by any Holder or by any underwriter (except as set forth in this Section 6 and in Section 8 or pursuant to the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such offering), (ii) any underwriter’s fees (including discounts, commissions or fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals) relating to the distribution of the Registrable Securities (other than with respect to Registrable Securities sold by the Company), or (iii) any other expenses of the Holders not specifically required to be paid by the Company pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 6.

Section 7. Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Demand Party, make publicly available such information so long as necessary to permit sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144), and it will take such further action as any Holder (or, if the Company is not required to file reports as provided above, any Demand Party) may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specific requirements with which it did not so comply. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7, the Company may deregister under Section 12 of the Exchange Act if it then is permitted to do so pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Section 8. Selection of Counsel. In connection with any registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof, if the Investor is participating in such registration pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof, the Investor may select one counsel to represent it and all other Holders participating in such registration, and if the Investor is not participating in such registration pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof, the Holders other than the Investor of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by any such registration may select one counsel to represent such other Holders covered by such registration; provided, however, that in the event that the counsel selected as provided above is also acting as counsel to the Company in connection with such registration, the Holders shall be entitled to select one additional counsel at the Company’s expense to represent all Holders.

Section 9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Holdback Agreement. In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder agrees in connection with any underwritten offering of the Company’s securities with respect to which the Company has complied with its obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof, as applicable, and in which offering such Holder has an opportunity to participate subject to the priority set forth in Section 2(b) or Section 3(b),as applicable (whether or not such Holder is participating in such offering), upon the reasonable request of the underwriters managing any such underwritten offering, not to effect (other than pursuant to such offering) any public sale or distribution of Registrable Securities, including, but not limited to, any sale pursuant to Rule 144, or make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities, any other equity securities of the Company or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity securities of the Company, in each case without the prior written consent of such underwriters and subject to customary exceptions, during the Holdback Period; provided that nothing herein will prevent any Holder that is a partnership or corporation from making a transfer to an Affiliate that is otherwise in compliance with applicable securities laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any discretionary waiver or termination of this holdback provision by such underwriters with respect to any of the Holders shall apply to the other Holders as well, pro rata based upon the number of shares subject to such obligations.

(i) If any registration pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement shall be in connection with any underwritten public offering, if reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters, 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 (i) on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto or (ii) filed solely in connection with an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan) for its own account, during the Holdback Period.

(b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given without the written consent of each of the Company and the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that (x) any amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to departures from the provisions of this Agreement that would subject a Stockholder to adverse differential treatment relative to the other Stockholders shall require the agreement of the differentially treated Stockholder and (y) any amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to departures from the provisions of this Agreement that would be adverse to a right specifically granted to a specific Stockholder herein (but not to other Stockholders) shall require the agreement of that Stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold by such Holders pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(c) Successors, Assigns and Transferees. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Investor may not assign or delegate its rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, except in connection with a Transfer of Registrable Securities by the Investor to an Affiliate pursuant to that certain Cooperation Agreement but only if such Affiliate agrees to become bound by the transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement. After the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of the parties hereto other than the Company may be transferred or assigned to any Person in connection with a Transfer of Registrable Securities to such Person, subject to applicable law; provided, however, that (i) (insofar as practicable) prior written notice of such assignment of rights is given to the Company and (ii) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by, and subject to, this Agreement as a “Holder” pursuant to a written instrument in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. If the Company consolidates or merges with or into any Person or otherwise becomes party to a reorganization event and the Registrable Securities are, in whole or in part, converted into or exchanged for securities of a different issuer or become convertible or exchangeable into securities of a different issuer, and any Holder that immediately prior to such event holds Registrable Securities would, following completion of such event (x) hold securities that are (or, in the case of securities issuable upon the conversion or exchange of other securities, if then issued would be) “restricted securities” or “control securities” (as such terms are used for purpose of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) in the hands of such Holder or (y) beneficially own, together with such Holder’s Affiliates, at least five percent (5%) of the class of such securities when such securities are issued (or when such securities may be acquired upon conversion, exercise or exchange, in the case of securities issuable upon the Conversion, exchange or exercise of other securities), then the Company will use its best efforts to cause such issuer to assume all of the Company’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to such securities of such issuer to the extent (treating such issuer as the “Company” hereunder with respect to such securities) any such securities are Registrable Securities, in a written instrument delivered to the Holders. Except as provided in Section 5 with respect to an Indemnified Party, nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under, or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.

(d) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally or by commercial messenger or courier service, or mailed by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or sent via email to the parties at the following addresses or to such other address as the party to whom notice is given may have previously furnished to the others in writing in the manner set forth above (provided that notice of any change of address shall be effective only upon receipt thereof):

(f) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in.PDF format or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(h) Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims, causes of action (whether in contract, tort or statute) or other matter that may result from, arise out of, be in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, administration, performance, or enforcement of this Agreement, including any claim or cause of action resulting from, arising out of, in connection with, or relating to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision, rule, or principle (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

(i) Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process (whether inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts (as defined below)) in any Action based on, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 9(d) or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable law, and nothing in this Section 9(i) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law; (b) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any Action to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any other state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Courts”) in the event that any dispute or controversy based on, arising out of or relating to this Agreement; (c) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (d) agrees that any Action based on, arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Chosen Courts; (e) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such Action in the Chosen Courts or that such Action was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (f) agrees that it shall not bring any Action based on, arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court other than the Chosen Courts. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action in the Chosen Courts shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions, either within or outside of the U.S., by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable law. A certified or exemplified copy of such award or judgment shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and amount of such award or judgment. With respect to any Action for which it has submitted to jurisdiction pursuant to this Section 9(i), each party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for the giving of notices pursuant to Section 9(d). Nothing in this Section 9(i) shall affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The foregoing consent to jurisdiction shall not (x) constitute submission to jurisdiction or general consent to service of process in the State of Delaware for any purpose except with respect to any Action based on, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or (y) be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties.

(j) Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

(k) Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.

(l) Termination. The provisions of this Agreement (other than Section 5 and Section 6) shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) its termination by the written agreement of all parties hereto or their respective successors in interest, (ii) the date on which all shares of Common Stock and any other Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities and (iii) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company. Nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability for the breach of any of the agreements set forth in this Agreement.

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of November 6, 2024, by and among FREYR Battery, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Trinaway Investment Second Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (the “Buyer”).

WHEREAS:

A. The Company and the Buyer are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Regulation S (“Regulation S”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); and

B. The Buyer wishes to purchase from the Company, and the Company wishes to sell to the Buyer, upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement, 14,050,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).

NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES.

a. Purchase of the Shares. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 below, on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.b), the Company shall issue and sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer agrees to purchase from the Company, the Shares (the “Closing”). The purchase price of the Shares at the Closing shall be equal to $1.05 per Share (the “Share Purchase Price”).

b. The Closing Date. The date and time of the Closing (the “Closing Date”) shall be 9 a.m., New York City time, five (5) Business Days following the receipt of CFIUS Approval (as defined below) (or such later or earlier date as is mutually agreed to in writing by the Company and the Buyer), subject to satisfaction or waiver of all of the other conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 5 and 6. The Closing shall occur on the Closing Date by telephonic conference and electronic exchange of documents. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions in Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong or the City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

c. Form of Payment. On the Closing Date, (i) the Buyer shall pay the applicable Share Purchase Price to the Company for the Shares to be issued and sold to the Buyer on the Closing Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Company’s written wire instructions, and (ii) the Company shall deliver to the Buyer a copy of the irrevocable instructions (the “Transfer Instructions”) to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”) instructing the Transfer Agent to issue to the Buyer or its designee(s), in book-entry form, a number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Shares that the Buyer is purchasing on the Closing Date.

d. Voting Agreement. Following the delivery by the Company and receipt of the Shares by the Buyer, such Buyer agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by the Buyer or over which the Buyer has voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that at any special meeting of stockholders of the Company held or pursuant to any written consent of the stockholders of the Company solely in favor of and to approve (i) the transactions contemplated under that certain transaction agreement by and between the Company and Trina Solar (Schweiz) AG on the date hereof (the “Transaction Agreement”) and (ii) one or more adjournments of any special meeting of stockholders of the Company in connection with the matters set forth in the Transaction Agreement, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, one or more of the other proposals to be voted on at any special meeting of stockholders in connection with the matters set forth under the Transaction Agreement.

2. BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

The Buyer represents and warrants as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date to the Company that:

a. Investment Purpose. The Buyer understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and the Buyer is acquiring the Shares hereunder as principal for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution, except pursuant to sales registered under, or exempted from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.

b. Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is not a U.S. Person and it is located outside the United States, as such terms are defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S.

c. Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions.

d. Information. The Buyer acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Documents (as defined below). The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, limit, amend or affect the Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below.

e. General Solicitation. The Buyer is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general advertisement.

f. Experience of the Buyer. The Buyer, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Buyer is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

g. Independent Investment Decision. The Buyer has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The Buyer understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Buyer in connection with the purchase of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Buyer has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares.

h. Acknowledgment of Risks. The Buyer acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Shares involves a significant degree of risk, including, without limitation: (i) the Company may remain a development stage business with limited operating history and requires substantial funds in addition to the proceeds from the sale of the Shares; (ii) an investment in the Company is speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Common Stock; (iii) the Buyer may not be able to liquidate its investment; (iv) transferability of the Shares is extremely limited; (v) in the event of a disposition of the Shares, the Buyer could sustain the loss of its entire investment; (vi) the Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock since inception and does not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future; (vii) the foregoing risks are more fully set forth in the SEC Documents; and (viii) that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares.

i. Transfer or Resale. The Buyer understands that (i) the Shares have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) the Buyer provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Shares have been or can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto) (“Rule 144”); and (ii) neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder, except as provided in Section 4(g) and the Registration Rights Agreement. As used in this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization or a government or any department or agency thereof or any other legal entity.

j. Brokers and Finders.
