Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, PubCo shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission, a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act or any successor thereto registering the resale from time to time by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form F-3 (or, if Form F-3 is not available to be used by PubCo at such time, on Form F-1 or another appropriate form permitting Registration of such Registrable Securities for resale). If the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is initially filed on Form F-1 and thereafter PubCo becomes eligible to use Form F-3 for secondary sales, PubCo shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is on Form F-3. PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, but no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date PubCo is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.  Once effective, PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus included therein continuously effective and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration Statement is available, under the Securities Act at all times until the date on which all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 shall contain a prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement, and shall provide that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders.
 
6

2.1.2          Notification and Distribution of Materials. PubCo shall notify the Holders in writing of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as soon as practicable, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary Prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement.
 
2.1.3          Amendments and Supplements. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1.1, PubCo shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities. If any Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1.1 is filed on Form F-3 and thereafter PubCo becomes ineligible to use Form F-3 for secondary sales, PubCo shall promptly notify the Holders of such ineligibility and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration on an appropriate form as promptly as practicable to replace the shelf registration statement on Form F-3 and have such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities; provided, however, that at any time PubCo once again becomes eligible to use Form F-3, PubCo shall cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is once again on Form F-3.
 
2.1.4          SEC Cutback. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.1, in the event the Commission informs PubCo that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415 of the Securities Act, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, PubCo agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form F-3, or if Form F-3 is not then available to PubCo for such Registration Statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, PubCo shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”), including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that PubCo used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event PubCo amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, PubCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Commission or SEC Guidance provided to PubCo or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form F-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.

PubCo shall promptly notify the Holders in writing of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to, or additional information in connection with, the Resale Shelf Registration Statement required to be prepared and filed hereunder (or Prospectus relating thereto). PubCo shall promptly notify each Holder in writing of the filing of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or any prospectus, amendment or supplement related thereto or any post-effective amendment to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment.
 
2.1.6          Requests for Underwritten Takedowns.
 
(a)          At any time and from time to time when an effective Resale Shelf Registration Statement is on file with the Commission, (x) the Company Holders holding at least 50% of the then issued and outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by all Company Holders or (y) the Sponsor Holders (such Holder(s) shall be referred to herein as the “Requesting Holder”, and collectively as, the “Requesting Holders”) may request to sell all or any portion of their respective Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering that is registered pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement. All requests for Underwritten Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to PubCo, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Takedown. Each of (i) the Sponsor Holders, collectively and (ii) the Company Holders, collectively, may demand Underwritten Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.1.6  and Block Trades and Other Coordinated Offerings pursuant to Section 2.4.1 not more than two (2) times in any 12-month period (the “Yearly Limit”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, PubCo may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then-effective Registration Statement, including a Form F-3, that is then available for such offering.
 
(b)          If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Takedown, in good faith, advises PubCo, the Requesting Holders and the Holders requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Takedown (the “Piggy-Back Holders”) (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Requesting Holders and the Piggy-Back Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that PubCo desires to sell and all other Ordinary Shares or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Takedown pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other shareholders who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then PubCo shall include in such Underwritten Takedown, before including any Ordinary Shares or other equity securities proposed to be sold by PubCo or by other holders of Ordinary Shares or other equity securities, the Registrable Securities of the Requesting Holders and the Piggy-Back Holders (if any) (pro rata, as nearly as practicable, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Requesting Holder and Piggy-Back Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Requesting Holders and Piggy-Back Holders (if any) have requested be included in such Underwritten Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. To facilitate the allocation of Registrable Securities in accordance with the above provisions, PubCo or the Underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 10 Registrable Securities.
 
(c)          Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Takedown, a majority in interest of the Requesting Holders initiating an Underwritten Takedown shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to PubCo and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Takedown; provided that any other Requesting Holder(s) may elect to have PubCo continue an Underwritten Takedown. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Takedown by the withdrawing Requesting Holder for purposes of this Section 2.1.6(c) and shall count toward the Yearly Limit, unless the Requesting Holder(s) making the withdrawal reimburses PubCo for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Takedown (or, if there is more than one Requesting Holder, a pro rata portion of such Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Requesting Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Takedown); provided that, if any other Requesting Holder(s) elects to continue an Underwritten Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten Takedown demanded by such Requesting Holder(s) for purposes of this Section 2.1.6(c) and shall count toward the Yearly Limit. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, PubCo shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Requesting Holders that had elected to participate in such Underwritten Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, PubCo shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Takedown, other than if a Requesting Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this Section 2.1.6(c).

The Requesting Holders shall have the right to select an Underwriter or Underwriters in connection with such Underwritten Takedown, which Underwriter or Underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to PubCo and shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks. In connection with an Underwritten Takedown, PubCo shall enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Takedown, including, if necessary, the engagement of a “qualified independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of PubCo (other than a Block Trade or an Other Coordinated Offering) in which a Holder participates, such Holder agrees that it shall not Transfer any Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of PubCo (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of PubCo, during the ninety (90)-day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the managing Underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering, except as expressly permitted by such lock-up agreement or in the event the managing Underwriters otherwise agree by written consent. Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders); provided, that such agreement shall not be materially more restrictive than any similar agreement entered into by the directors and executive officers of PubCo participating in such Underwritten Offering; providedfurther, that such agreement shall provide that any early release of any Holder from the provisions of the terms of such agreement shall be on a pro rata basis among all Holders.
 
2.2          Demand Registration.
 
2.2.1          Request for Registration. At any time and from time to time after the expiration of a lock-up to which such securities are subject pursuant to any Lock-up Agreement, (x) the Company Investors who hold at least 50% of the then issued and outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by the Company Investors or (ii) the Sponsor Holders, as the case may be, may make a written demand for Registration under the Securities Act of all or a portion of their Registrable Securities on Form F-3 (or, if Form F-3 is not available to be used by PubCo at such time, on Form F-1 or another appropriate form permitting Registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders). Each registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration”. Any demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. PubCo shall, within ten (10) days of its receipt of the Demand Registration, notify all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each such Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration, a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify PubCo within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from PubCo. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a registration pursuant to the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.2.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.4. PubCo shall not be obligated to effect: (a) more than one (1) Demand Registrations during any six-month period; (b) any Demand Registration at any time there is an effective Resale Shelf Registration Statement on file with the Commission pursuant to Section 2.1; (c) more than two (2) Underwritten Demand Registrations within any twelve-month period, each of which also count as an Underwritten Takedown under Section 2.1.6, (d) more than two (2) Underwritten Demand Registrations in respect of all Registrable Securities held by the Sponsor Holders, each of which will also count as an Underwritten Takedown of the Sponsor Holders under Section 2.1.6; or (e) more than two (2) Underwritten Demand Registrations in respect of all Registrable Securities held by the Company Holders, each of which will also count as an Underwritten Takedown of the Company Holders under Section 2.1.6.

2.2.2          Effective Registration. A Registration will not count as a Demand Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) PubCo has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; providedhowever, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering; providedfurther, that PubCo shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.
 
2.2.3          Underwritten Offering. If the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise PubCo as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders initiating the Demand Registration, and subject to the approval of PubCo.
 
2.2.4          Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an Underwritten Offering advises PubCo and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other Ordinary Shares or other equity securities which PubCo desires to sell and the Ordinary Shares and other equity securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other shareholders of PubCo who desire to sell, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then PubCo shall include in such registration:
 
(a)          first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities that each such Demanding Holder has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such Demanding Holder) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;
 
(b)          second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that PubCo desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
 
(c)          third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), the Ordinary Shares or other equity securities for the account of other persons that PubCo is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, as to which Piggy-Back Registration has been requested by the holders thereof, (pro rata in accordance with the number of securities that each such holder has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such holder), that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.
 
10

2.2.5          Withdrawal. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to PubCo and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then either the Demanding Holders shall reimburse PubCo for the costs associated with the withdrawn registration (in which case such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.2.1) or the withdrawn registration shall count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.2.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) PubCo may effect any Underwritten Registration pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form F-3, that is then available for such offering, and (ii) PubCo shall be responsible for the registration expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.5.

Subject to Section 2.3.2, PubCo shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggy-Back Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of PubCo and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.

(c)          If the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a request by Holder(s) of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1.6, PubCo shall include in any such Registration or registered offering securities in the priority set forth in Section 2.1.6(b).
 
2.3.3          Withdrawal. Any Holder may elect to withdraw such Holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to PubCo of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement  filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggy-Back Registration or, in the case of a Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to a shelf Registration, the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggy-Back Registration used for marketing such transaction.

Following receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, PubCo shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinate Offering, other than if a Requesting Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this Section 2.4.2.

2.5          Legends. In connection with any sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities by a Holder pursuant to Rule 144 and upon compliance by the Holder with the requirements of this Section 2.5, if requested by the Holder, PubCo shall cause the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (the “Transfer Agent”) to remove any restrictive legends related to the book entry account holding such Registrable Securities and make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares sold or disposed of without restrictive legends within two (2) trading days of any such request therefor from the Holder; provided that PubCo and the Transfer Agent have timely received from the Holder customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to PubCo and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith. Subject to receipt from the Holder by PubCo and the Transfer Agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to PubCo and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, the Holder may request that PubCo remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing its Registrable Securities and PubCo will, if required by the Transfer Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts cause an opinion of PubCo’s counsel be provided, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, following the earliest of such time as such Registrable Securities (i) are subject to or have been or are about to be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) have been or are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144. If restrictive legends are no longer required for such Registrable Securities pursuant to the foregoing, PubCo shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section and within two (2) trading days of any request therefor from the Holder accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation referred to above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares. PubCo shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent, its legal counsel and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.

Except as set forth in Sections 2.1.6(c) and 2.2.5, PubCo shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Resale Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.1, any Underwritten Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1.6, any Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.2, any Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 2.3, and any Block Trade pursuant to Section 2.4, and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the Registration Statement becomes effective (such expenses, the “Registration Expenses”), including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees; (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing expenses; (iv) PubCo’s internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees); (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities as required by Section 3.1.12; (vi) Financial Industry Regulatory Authority fees; (vii) fees and disbursements of counsel for PubCo and fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by PubCo; (viii) the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by PubCo in connection with such registration and (ix) the reasonable fees and expenses of one (1) legal counsel selected by the Holders of a majority-in-interest of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration. PubCo shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the Holders thereof, which underwriting discounts or selling commissions shall be borne by such Holders. Additionally, in an Underwritten Offering, Block Trade, all selling shareholders and PubCo shall bear the expenses of the Underwriter, broker, placement agent or sales agent pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of shares each is selling in such offering.
 
3.4          Information. The Holders shall promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested by PubCo, or the managing Underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act and in connection with PubCo’s obligation to comply with Federal and applicable state securities laws. PubCo’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities held by a Holder in any Registration Statement are contingent upon such Holder furnishing in writing to PubCo such information regarding the Holder, the securities of PubCo held by the Holder and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by PubCo to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Holder shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as PubCo may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations.

Indemnification And Contribution.
 
4.1          Indemnification by PubCo. PubCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, and each of their respective officers, employees, Affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls a Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, a “Holder Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by PubCo of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to PubCo and relating to action or inaction required of PubCo in connection with any such Registration; and PubCo shall promptly reimburse the Holder Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that PubCo will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of any material fact made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, or final prospectus or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to PubCo, in writing, by such selling Holder expressly for use therein, or is based on any selling Holder’s violation of the federal securities laws (including Regulation M) or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the Prospectus.
 
4.2          Indemnification by Holders. Each selling Holder will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling Holder, indemnify and hold harmless PubCo, each of its directors and officers, and each other selling Holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to PubCo by such selling Holder expressly for use therein, or is based on any selling Holder’s violation of the federal securities laws (including Regulation M) or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the Prospectus, and shall reimburse PubCo, its directors and officers, and each other selling Holder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling Holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling Holder.
 
4.3          Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel, which such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. 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/or culpability on the part of such Indemnified Party or which settlement 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.

4.4          Contribution.
 
4.4.1          If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1 4.2 and 4.3 is judicially determined to be unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such 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 loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
 
4.4.2          The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.
 
4.4.3          The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. 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.
 
4.5          Waiver of Medallion Guaranty. PubCo agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter an indemnification agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or any successor transfer agent or warrant agent of PubCo), in favor of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or any successor transfer agent or warrant agent of PubCo) in connection with the waiver of any requirement to provide a medallion guarantee in connection with any Transfer of any Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of PubCo by any Sponsor Holder or any of their Permitted Transferees; provided that, in each case, as a prerequisite to PubCo’s entry into such indemnification agreement, such Sponsor Holder or Permitted Transferee enters into an indemnification agreement with PubCo substantially mirroring, in form and substance, such indemnification agreement entered into by PubCo in favor of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or any successor transfer agent or warrant agent of PubCo).

5.
Underwriting And Distribution; Lock-Up.
 
5.1          Rule 144. PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (or, if PubCo is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the reasonable request of any holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as reasonably necessary to permit sales that would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission) and take such further action as the Holders may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.
 
5.2          Lock-Up.
 
5.2.1          Sponsor Transfer Restrictions. Each Sponsor Holder agrees not to Transfer any Registrable Securities (other than Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of upon conversion of the Convertible Notes) held by such Sponsor Holder, for the period beginning as of the Business Combination Closing and ending on the earlier of (x) the date that is 180 days after the Business Combination Closing and (y) a Liquidation Event Date (period, the “Sponsor Holder Lock-Up Period”).
 
5.2.2          Company Holder Transfer Restrictions. Each Company Holder agrees not to Transfer any Registrable Securities (other than Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of upon conversion of the Convertible Notes) held by such Company Holder for the period beginning as of the Business Combination Closing and ending on the earlier of (x) the date that is 180 days after the Business Combination Closing and (y) a Liquidation Event Date (such period, the “Company Holder Lock-Up Period”).
 
5.2.3          Permitted Transfers. The restrictions set forth in Sections 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 shall not apply to Transfers to Permitted Transferees, provided that, in the event of a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee prior to the Sponsor Holder Lock-Up Period or the Company Holder Lock-Up Period, as applicable, such Permitted Transferee must sign a Deed of Adherence agreeing to be bound by this Section 5.2.
 
6.
Miscellaneous.
 
6.1          Other Registration Rights and Arrangements. PubCo represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder, has any right to require PubCo to register any of PubCo’s shares for sale or to include PubCo’s shares in any registration filed by PubCo for the sale of shares for its own account or for the account of any other person. SPAC and the Sponsor Holders hereby terminate the Prior SPAC Agreement effective upon consummation of the Mergers, and agree that upon consummation of the Mergers, the Prior SPAC Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and is hereby superseded and replaced in its entirety by this Agreement. The Company and the Company Holders hereby terminate the Prior Company Agreement effective upon consummation of the Mergers, and agree that upon consummation of the Mergers, the Prior Company Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and is hereby superseded and replaced in its entirety by this Agreement.
 
6.2          Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.2, this Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of any Party may not be assigned or delegated by any Party in whole or in part. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns and the Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns. A Person who is not a Party has no right (whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act (As Revised) to enforce any term of, or to enjoy any benefit under, this Agreement, other than as expressly set forth in Section 4 and this Section 6.2. The rights, duties and obligations of a Holder under this Agreement may be transferred by such Holder to a Permitted Transferee who acquires or holds Registrable Securities; provided, however, that such transferee has executed and delivered to PubCo a properly completed agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in a form satisfactory to PubCo (a “Deed of Adherence”), and the transferor or the transferee shall have delivered to PubCo no later than thirty (30) days following the date of the transfer, written notification of such transfer setting forth the name of the transferor, the name and address of the transferee, and the number of Registrable Securities so transferred. The execution of a Deed of Adherence shall constitute a permitted amendment of this Agreement. A Permitted Transferee receiving Registrable Securities from a Sponsor Holder shall become a Sponsor Holder under this Agreement, and a Permitted Transferee receiving Registrable Securities from a Company Holder shall become a Company Holder under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if the securities that a Holder wishes to transfer would not be Registrable Securities if held by such transferee, the transferee shall not be entitled to sign the Deed of Adherence or become a party hereto.

6.3          Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of PubCo, the Sponsor and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; providedhowever, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment or modification hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a holder of the shares of PubCo, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or PubCo and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or PubCo in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or PubCo. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a Party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such Party.
 
6.4          Effectiveness and Term. This Agreement shall take effect only upon the Business Combination Closing, provided that (i) the provisions of this Section 6 shall take effect on the date hereof and (ii) any person who executes and delivers a Deed of Adherence in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto after the date hereof shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement from the date of the delivery and shall be subject to the obligations of a Holder under this Agreement, whereupon Schedule I to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been updated with the information of such Person as set forth in the Deed of Adherence. This Agreement shall terminate (i) with respect to all Parties, upon mutual written consent of all Parties, and (ii) with respect to a Holder, upon such Holder and its Affiliates ceasing to hold any Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) the provisions of Sections 4 and 6 (including with respect to any defined term as used therein, whether or not such defined term is defined therein) shall survive, and remain in full force and effect following, any termination of this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be void ab initio upon the Business Combination Agreement having been terminated in accordance with the terms therein without the Business Combination Closing having occurred.
