Each party to this Agreement will use commercially reasonable efforts to hold, and cause its respective Affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, unless disclosure to a regulatory authority is necessary or appropriate in connection with any necessary regulatory approval or unless disclosure is required by judicial or administrative process or by other requirement of Law or the applicable requirements of any regulatory agency or relevant stock exchange, all non-public records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information (collectively, “Information”) concerning the other party furnished to it by such other party or its representatives pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (a) previously known by such party on a non-confidential basis, (b) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (c) later lawfully acquired from other sources on a non-confidential basis by the party to which it was furnished), and no party shall release or disclose such Information to any other person, except its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, partners, members, auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, other consultants and advisors. The Investor acknowledges that this Agreement and the Transaction Documents may be subject to public disclosure in connection with the Company’s and Silver Crest’s disclosure obligations, and permits such disclosure; provided that the Company shall not disclose the identity of the Investor in such public disclosure unless required by law, and if such disclosure is required, shall provide the Investor a reasonable opportunity to review any such proposed public disclosure (it being understood that the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to persuade Silver Crest to keep Investor’s identity confidential in its public filings). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may disclose Information in connection with any routine governmental or regulatory inquiry, examination or other request that does not specifically target the Information.

8.6           Further Assurances. Each of the Investor and the Company will cooperate and consult with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents, and to obtain all necessary permits, consents, orders, approvals and authorizations of, or any exemption by, all third Persons required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the covenants in this Section 7 shall cease to be applicable in their entirety once the Public Notes are issued and the Notes are exchanged therefor in accordance with Section 3.4. The covenants, agreements and terms of or relating to the Public Notes, once issued, shall be exclusively governed by or pursuant to the Public Note Indenture, and not this Agreement.

9.             Registration Rights.

9.1           In the event that (i) the Conversion Shares are issued subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination and such Conversion Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) the Company is or becomes subject to the reporting obligations under Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company agrees that, within forty-five (45) calendar days after earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and the satisfaction in the condition in clause (ii) above (the “Filing Date”), the Company will file with the SEC (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a shelf registration statement registering the resale of the Conversion Shares (the “Registrable Securities”, and such statement the “Registration Statement”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, (such date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Conversion Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Investor furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Investor, the securities of the Company held by Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Conversion Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Conversion Shares, and Investor 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 during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted under Section 9.4 hereunder. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file the Registration Statement or cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as set forth above in this Section 9.

32

9.2           If the Company proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the registration of Common Shares, for its own account and/or for the account of any stockholders of the Company, other than a registration statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) for a dividend reinvestment plan, or (iv) for a rights offering, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to the Investor as soon as practicable but not less than five (5) days before the anticipated filing date of such registration statement or, in the case of an underwritten offering pursuant to a shelf registration, the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to the Investor the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Conversion Shares as the Investor may request in writing within two (2) days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to this Section 9.2, the Company shall, in good faith, cause such Conversion Shares to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Conversion Shares requested by the Investor pursuant to this Section 9.2 to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Conversion Shares in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of the Investor’s Conversion Shares in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Investor’s agreement to enter into such agreements and deliver such certificates and opinions as reasonably or customarily requested by the underwriters. If the managing underwriter or underwriters in an underwritten offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Investor participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which registration or a registered offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Investor, (ii) the Conversion Shares as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, and (iii) the Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggyback registration rights of other stockholders of the Company (the “Other Piggyback Parties”), exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in such 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: (i) if the registration or registered offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such registration or registered offering (A) first, the Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which 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 Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Investor; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Conversion Shares of the Investor, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of the Other Piggyback Parties, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) if the registration or registered offering is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Investor, then the Company shall include in any such registration or registered offering (A) first, the Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Investor, which 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 Conversion Shares of the Investor which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of the Other Piggyback Parties, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. The Investor shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the managing underwriter or underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement filed with the SEC with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a shelf registration, the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include the Registration Statement) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement.

9.3           In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Investor as to the status of such registration. At its expense, the Company shall:

(a)               except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Investor, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) Investor ceases to hold any Notes or Conversion Shares, (ii) the date all Conversion Shares held by or issuable to Investor may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (iii) two years from the Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement;

(b)              advise Investor within five (5) Business Days (i) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Conversion Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) subject to the provisions in this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

(c)              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising Investor of such events, provide Investor with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to Investor of the occurrence of the events listed in (i) through (iv) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Company;

(d)              use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(e)               upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 9.3(b)(iv), except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Conversion Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

34

(f)              use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Conversion Shares held by the Investor to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Common Shares of the Company are then listed.

9.4           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Investor not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if (x) the use of the Registration Statement would require the inclusion of financial statements that are unavailable for reasons beyond the Company’s control, (y) the Company determines that in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, or if (z) such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or its Subsidiaries or would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than three occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days during any twelve (12) month period (or for such shorter periods as may be mutually agreed in the PIPE Subscription Agreement between the Company and the Investor consistent with the subscription terms of the other PIPE investors in connection with the Business Combination). Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Investor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Conversion Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, Investor will deliver to the Company or, in Investor’s sole discretion, destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. The Company agrees that any time transfer is permitted pursuant to Rule 144 and Investor is unable to sell under the Registration Statement, Company will take commercially reasonable efforts to remove the restrictive legend from the Conversion Shares.

10.           Indemnification.

10.1         The Company (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement) and its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, consultants, financial advisors, counsel, accountants and other agents (each, in such capacity, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, proceedings, costs and expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in any action between the Company and the Indemnified Party or between the Indemnified Party and any third party, in connection with any investigation or evaluation of a claim or otherwise) (collectively, “Losses”) that arise out of, relate to or are based upon (a) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the SEC Reports, any Registration Statement (which, for purposes of this Section 10, shall include any registration statement in respect of which an Investor exercises piggyback rights pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof), any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus or preliminary prospectus relating to such Registration Statement, 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 not misleading, or (b) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement (each a “Breach”); provided that the Investor will not be liable to the Indemnified Parties or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or their respective Affiliates for any portion of such Losses (i) resulting from the Indemnified Party or their respective officers’, directors’, employees’, agents’ or Affiliates’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appeal judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; (ii) if such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein or otherwise made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished by the Investor, (iii) attributable to a settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (iv) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Company in a timely manner, (v) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a freewriting prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the Company, or (vi) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of the Investor in violation of Section 9.4 of this Agreement. The Company shall notify the Investor promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 10 of which the Company is aware.

36

10.2         The Investor (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (in such capacity, the “Indemnified Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus or preliminary prospectus relating to such Registration Statement, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 10 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The Investor shall notify the Company promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 10.2 of which the Investor is aware.

10.3         

(a)               The Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifiying Party promptly after receiving written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim against it (if by a third party) or discovering the Loss, obligation or facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification, describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable), and the basis thereof; provided that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party promptly shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its liability hereunder except to the extent such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party . In that regard, if any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim shall be brought or asserted by any third party that, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity pursuant to this Section 10, the Indemnified Party shall notify promptly the Indemnifying Party of the same in writing, specifying in reasonable detail the basis of such claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense of such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, and at the Indemnifying Party’s option (subject to the limitations set forth below) shall be entitled to appoint lead counsel of such defense with a reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that, in the event that the Indemnifying Party elects to control such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed to be fully responsible (with no reservation of rights) for all Losses relating to such claim, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10. Within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of an indemnification claim, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to the Indemnified Party stating whether it disputes all or any portion of the claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails to give written notice to the Indemnified Party that it disputes an indemnification claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the claim, which shall become immediately due and payable subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.

37

(b)              If the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to control the defense of any third-party claim as provided above, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at its own expense, unless the Indemnifying Party has specifically authorized the employment of such counsel in writing, in which case the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, if the Indemnified Party controls the defense of any such claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof at its own expense. If the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that there exists a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party reasonably determines counsel is required, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to control the defense of any third-party claim as provided above, then the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense. Similarly, in the event that the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, controlling the defense of any such claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim.

10.4         Any Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party knew or should have known of any such potential Breach.

10.5         Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the agreement of the Indemnifying Party to pay the amount claimed by an Indemnified Party in a claim notice, or (ii) a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction as provided for in Section 12.2 that any amount is payable by the Indemnifying Party hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the Indemnified Party as soon as commercially practicable but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter.

10.6        Exclusive Remedy. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit a Party’s right to pursue (i) equitable remedies, including, without limitation, injunctive relief and specific performance, or (ii) any rights and remedies of such Party under the Transaction Documents.

11.           Termination.

11.1         This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing as follows:

(a)               by either the Company, on the one hand, or the Investor, on the other hand, if the Closing has not occurred by January 31, 2022;

(b)              by the Investor, if the Company has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach cannot be cured or, if it is capable of being cured, is not cured within 30 days after the Company has been notified in writing of the same;

38

(c)              by the Company, if the Investor has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach cannot be cured or, if capable of being cured, is not cured within 30 days after the Investor has been notified in writing of the same; or

(d)              by mutual agreement in writing between the Company, on the one hand, and the Investor, on the other hand.

provided, however that any right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 11.1 shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any material obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, the failure of the Closing to have occurred on or before such date.

11.2         Survival. If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 11.1, it shall become void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of Section 8.5 (Confidentiality), Section 10 (Indemnification), this Section 11, Section 12.1 (Governing Law) and Section 12.2 (Jurisdiction); provided, however, that such termination, unless otherwise agreed to by the Investor, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, shall be without prejudice to the rights or obligations of any party in respect of a breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

12.           Miscellaneous.

12.1         Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the Laws of the State of New York without regard to any choice of Laws or conflict of Laws provisions that would require the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.

12.2         Jurisdiction. Each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement brought by the other party or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined non-exclusively in any state or federal court located in the City and County of New York. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process, (b) any claim of sovereign immunity with respect to itself or its property and (c) any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each party hereby consents to service being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 12.7 and agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail (return receipt requested and first-class postage prepaid) to the respective addresses set forth in Section 12.7 shall be effective service of process for any suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement.

39

12.3         Remedies. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the Company does not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Investor shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Company and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Company agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to the Investor on the basis that (a) the Investor has an adequate remedy at law or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. In seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Investor shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. The remedies available to the Investor pursuant to this Section 12.3 shall be in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit the Investor from, in the alternative, seeking to terminate this Agreement and collect a remedy at law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not pursue or be entitled to a grant of specific performance under this Agreement.

12.4         No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, and no Person that is not a party to this Agreement (including any partner, member, stockholder, director, officer, employee or other beneficial owner of any party, in its own capacity as such or in bringing a derivative action on behalf of a party) shall have any standing as third-party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

12.5         No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Owners, Etc. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, managing member, member, general partner, limited partner, principal or other agent of any of the parties shall have any liability for any obligations of such party under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of the respective obligations of such party under this Agreement. Each party hereby waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release is a material inducement to each party’s entry into this Agreement.

12.6         Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including the Notes, constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof.

12.7         Notices. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be mailed by reliable overnight delivery service or delivered by hand, facsimile or messenger, addressed as set forth in Schedule 3, or in any such case to such other address, facsimile number or telephone as either party may, from time to time, designate in a written notice given in a like manner. Notices shall be deemed given when actually delivered by overnight delivery service, hand or messenger, or when received by facsimile if promptly confirmed.

40

12.8          Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence to any breach or default, or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded to any holder, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

12.9          Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only if such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Investor or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each holder of any securities purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding (including securities into which such securities are convertible), each future holder of all such securities and the Company.

12.10       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and signatures may be delivered by facsimile or in electronic format, each of which may be executed by less than all the parties, each of which shall be enforceable against the parties actually executing such counterparts and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

12.11       Severability. If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Agreement and the balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
