Parent, the Merger Sub and the Company are sometimes referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”. Except as otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Exhibit A.

recitals

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the Parties intend to enter into a business combination transaction, whereby Merger Sub will merge with and into Company (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving entity of the Merger (“Surviving Company”) and the Company Stockholders receiving shares of Parent Common Stock and cash as described herein in exchange for all the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock; and

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, the boards of directors of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have determined that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to, and in the best interest of, their respective companies and their respective stockholders; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with, and conditional upon, the execution of this Agreement, Parent is entering into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Hotel Purchase Agreement”), by and among Pool IV Finance LLC, Pool IV TRS LLC and PHF II Stamford LLC, as sellers, and Parent, as purchaser, for the purchase and sale of the Hilton Stamford Hotel & Executive Meeting Center and the Crowne Plaza Denver Airport Convention Center Hotel (collectively, the “Hotels”); and

WHEREAS, the Parties intend, by executing this Agreement, to adopt a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and intend that the Merger shall constitute a transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

agreement

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED MATTERS

Section 1.1. Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined below), and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Company after the Merger.

Section 1.2. Effective Time; Closing. As soon as practicable after the Closing (as defined below), Merger Sub and the Company will cause the Merger to be consummated by the filing of a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL (the time of such filing, or such later time as may be agreed in writing by Parent and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger, being the “Effective Time”). Subject to the provisions of ARTICLE VII of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger (the “Closing”), will take place remotely, at a time and date to be determined by the Parties, but in no event later than the second (2^nd) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI hereof (other than those conditions which can be satisfied only at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at Closing), or at such other time and place as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company (the “Closing Date”). Subject to the provisions of ARTICLE VII of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Closing on the date and time determined pursuant to this Section 1.6(b) will not result in the termination of this Agreement and will not relieve any Party of any obligation under this Agreement.

Section 1.3. Effect of the Merger. The effect of the Merger will be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger, and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Parties or the Company Stockholders, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers, franchises, debts, liabilities, and duties of Merger Sub shall vest in the Company as the Surviving Company following the Merger.

Section 1.4. Governing Documents.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Parties, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety, such that the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company shall be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub, except that the name of the Surviving Company shall be “Two Bit Circus, Inc.”, and as so amended and restated shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by applicable law.

(b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Parties, the bylaws of the Surviving Company shall be amended and restated in their entirety, such that the bylaws of the Surviving Company shall be identical to the bylaws of Merger Sub, except that the name of the Surviving Company shall be “Two Bit Circus, Inc.”, and as so amended shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with their terms, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and as provided by applicable law.

(c) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of Parent shall be, and the parties shall take or cause to be taken all action (including by filing such certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware) required to cause the certificate of incorporation of Parent to be, amended and restated to be in the form of Exhibit C-1, until thereafter amended in accordance with its terms. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the bylaws of Parent shall be amended and restated in the form of Exhibit C-2.

Section 1.5. Officers and Directors of the Surviving Company. Each of the persons who is an officer of the Company immediately before the Effective Time will continue in the same position as an officer of the Surviving Company, until his or her death, resignation or removal. Beginning at the Effective Time, the persons designated by Parent, acting through its board of directors, will serve as the directors of the Surviving Company.

Section 1.6. Conversion of Securities.

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Parties, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than shares cancelled pursuant to Section 1.6(d) and Dissenting Shares) will be converted into and become the right to receive, subject to Section 1.11, a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) equal to (a) (i) (I) $49,800,000, minus (II) the aggregate outstanding balance of the Company Convertible Notes that are not converted into shares of the Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Closing, divided by (ii) $10.00, divided by (b) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares cancelled pursuant to Section 1.6(d)).

(b) Adjustments to Per Share Merger Consideration. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.6 as Per Share Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the Parent Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof but at or prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger in accordance with Section 1.6, and each Company Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.6 (after aggregating all fractional shares and units that otherwise would be received by such holder in accordance with Section 1.6) shall receive from Parent, in lieu of such fractional share, one (1) share of Parent Common Stock.

(d) Cancellation of Treasury and Parent-Owned Company Common Stock. Any shares of Company Common Stock held by Parent, the Company or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of any of the foregoing immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion or payment in respect thereof.

(e) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. At the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Parties, each share of Merger Sub’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Company.

Section 1.7. Exchange Procedures.

(a) Deposit of Merger Consideration. At or before the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent, who shall be mutually determined by the Company and Parent and who may be either the Surviving Company or Parent (the “Exchange Agent”). If the Exchange Agent is not Parent, Parent shall deposit, and/or instruct its transfer agent to deposit, with the Exchange Agent a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock to deliver the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration to the Company Stockholders, in accordance with Section 1.6(a) (together, the “Payment Fund”). In addition, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Payment Fund, as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, any shares of Parent Common Stock or funds necessary to deliver or pay (x) dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(c), or (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration issuable in respect of any Dissenting Shares as to which the holder thereof fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL.

(b) Exchange of Company Common Stock. The Company Stockholders shall deliver the certificates evidencing their right to shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Certificates”) to the Exchange Agent for cancellation, or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate, will deliver to the Exchange Agent an affidavit (and indemnity if required) in the manner provided in Section 1.9 below, in either case together with a letter of transmittal and instructions (“Letter of Transmittal”), and shall, at or after the Closing, receive in exchange therefor the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration, less the Escrow Shares (as defined below) allocable to the Company Stockholders deposited in accordance with Section 1.11 (in book-entry form, unless certificates representing the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration are otherwise requested by the Company Stockholders), issuable in respect of the Company Common Stock previously represented thereby, and the Company Certificates shall forthwith be cancelled. The Letter of Transmittal shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and the risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper transfer of each share to the exchange agent, shall include approval of the appointment of the Company Representative, and shall otherwise be in customary form. Until so surrendered, from and after the Effective Time, outstanding Company Certificates will be deemed to evidence only the right to receive the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration issuable in respect of the Company Common Stock previously represented thereby, as prescribed by this Agreement, and the Company Stockholders will, subject to applicable law in the case of Dissenting Shares, cease to have any rights with respect thereto. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the Per Share Merger Consideration, or on any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.7(c), upon the surrender or transfer of any Company Certificate.

(c) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Company Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Agreement Date with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holders of any unsurrendered Company Certificates with respect to the Per Share Merger Consideration to be issued upon surrender thereof until the holders of record of such Company Certificates shall surrender such certificates. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any such Company Certificates, the Exchange Agent shall promptly deliver to the record holders thereof the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration (in book-entry form, unless certificates representing the aggregate Per Share Stock Merger Consideration are otherwise requested by Company Stockholders) issuable in exchange therefor in accordance with Section 1.7(b), and the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares, in each case without interest.

(d) Transfers of Ownership of Company Common Stock. If shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Per Share Merger Consideration are to be issued in book-entry form in a name other than that in which the Company Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Company Certificates so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the persons requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of the Per Share Merger Consideration in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Company Certificates surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The shares of Parent Common Stock issued in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company Certificates are presented to Parent or the Surviving Company for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE I.

(f) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged its Company Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.7 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat, or other similar laws), as general creditor thereof, for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall be liable to any holder of Company Certificates for any amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Certificates shall, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Dissenting Shares Merger Consideration. If the Exchange Agent is not Parent, any shares of Parent Common Stock and/or funds made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

Section 1.8. Required Withholding. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax Legal Requirement. Parent shall provide notice of any withholding that it intends to make (or cause to be made) in connection with consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement (other than any withholding required in connection with amounts properly treated as compensation for applicable Tax purposes) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date of the relevant payment, and the Parties shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) cooperate to minimize or eliminate any potential withholding. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld consistent with the terms of this Section 1.8, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been delivered to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been deliverable.

Section 1.9. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates for Company Common Stock. In the event that any Company Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration into which the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Company Certificates was converted, and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(c); provided, however, that, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such Per Share Merger Consideration, the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates shall indemnify the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Surviving Company against any claim that may be made against the Exchange Agent, Parent or Surviving Company with respect to the Company Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and deliver any Letter of Transmittal reasonably required by the Exchange Agent.

Section 1.10. Treatment of Company Derivative Securities. Prior to the Effective Time, all Company Derivative Securities shall be exercised for or exchanged or converted into shares of Company Common Stock or, to the extent not so exercised, exchanged or converted, shall be terminated, in full, in either case without cost or liability (other than the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock prior to the Closing) to Parent, the Company or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of any of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, shares of Company Common Stock issued in respect of the Company Derivative Securities shall be included in the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all actions necessary or desirable in connection with the treatment of Company Derivative Securities as contemplated by this Section 1.10.

Section 1.11. Escrow Shares. In order to secure the amounts (if any) owed to Parent Indemnitees pursuant to ARTICLE VIII, at the Closing, an aggregate of 10% of the aggregate shares of Parent Common Stock otherwise issuable as Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Escrow Shares”) shall be deposited in escrow (the “Escrow Account”), allocated Pro Rata among the Company Stockholders in separate accounts, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the escrow agreement to be entered into at the Closing between Parent, the Company Representative and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or such other Person as may be agreed by Parent and the Company), as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”). In addition, as necessary from time to time after the Closing, an aggregate of 10% of the aggregate shares of Parent Common Stock otherwise issuable as Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of any Dissenting Shares as to which the holder thereof fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, shall be deposited in the Escrow Account, together with any dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Agreement Date with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time, allocated to the holder of such Dissenting Shares in a separate account. The Escrow Agreement will provide that, upon the expiration of the Survival Period (as defined below), the Escrow Agent will release the Escrow Shares in each separate account, less that portion of the Escrow Shares applied in satisfaction of or reserved with respect to indemnification claims made prior to such date, to the applicable Company Stockholder. Any Escrow Shares held with respect to any unresolved claim for indemnification and not applied as indemnification with respect to such claim upon its resolution will be delivered to the Company Stockholders from their separate accounts promptly upon such resolution.

Section 1.12. Tax Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

Section 1.13. Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing, any further action by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Company is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the officers and directors of Parent, the Company and the Surviving Company shall cause them to take all such action that it is lawful for them to take.

Section 1.14. Lock-Up Agreement.

(a) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, each of the Company Stockholders identified on Schedule 1.14(a) (the “Key Company Stockholders”), is entering into an agreement (the “Company Lock-Up Agreement”) not to transfer the shares of Parent Common Stock received by such Key Company Stockholder hereunder as Per Share Merger Consideration until the date set forth next to such Key Company Stockholders’ name on Schedule 1.14(a), subject to certain exceptions as set forth therein.

(b) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Sponsor and the other Initial Stockholders, all of which holders are identified on Schedule 1.14(b), are entering into an agreement (the “Parent Lock-Up Agreement”) not to transfer the Founder Shares held by them as of the Closing until the date set forth next to such Key Company Stockholders’ name on Schedule 1.14(b), subject to certain exceptions as set forth therein, which shall supersede the restrictions on transfer applicable to such Founder Shares prior to the date hereof pursuant to the letter agreements executed by the Sponsor and the other Initial Shareholders in connection with Parent’s initial public offering.

Section 1.15. Support Agreements. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Key Company Stockholders are entering into support agreements with Parent (the “Support Agreements”), pursuant to which each of the Key Company Stockholders agrees to, among other things, vote all of the shares of Company Stock beneficially owned by such Key Company Stockholder in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger (which vote may be done by executing a written consent as provided for in Section 5.20).

Section 1.16. [Reserved]

Section 1.17. Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders of the Company who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights (such shares, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, and such stockholders shall have no right to receive, the Per Share Merger Consideration unless and until such stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. Any stockholder of the Company who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, if applicable, in the manner provided in Section 1.7, of the Company Certificates that formerly evidenced such Dissenting Shares.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company and any withdrawals of such demands, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

Section 1.18. Company Representative.

The indemnification obligations and liabilities under this ARTICLE VIII with respect to actions, proceedings, lawsuits, investigations, demands or other claims brought against a Parent Indemnitee by a Person other than the Company, the Company Stockholders and the Affiliates of the foregoing, on the one hand, or brought against a Company Indemnitee by a Person other than Parent, Merger Sub or the Affiliates of the foregoing, on the other hand (a “Third Party Claim”), shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(ii) Parent and any Parent Indemnitee that is the subject of the Third Party Claim, or the Company Representative and any Company Indemnitee that is the subject of the Third Party Claim, as applicable, shall cooperate fully in all respects with the Company Representative or Parent, as applicable, in any such defense, compromise or settlement thereof, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, and such Persons shall make available to the Company Representative or Parent, as applicable, all pertinent information and documents under its control.

(c) Limitations of Right to Assume Defense. The Company Representative or Parent, as applicable, shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation, or investigation; (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against an Parent Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as applicable; or (iii) there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect the Parent Indemnitee or the Company Indemnitee, as applicable, other than as a result of money damages or other money payments.

(d) Other Limitations. Failure to give prompt Notice of Claim or to provide copies of relevant available documents or to furnish relevant available data shall not constitute a defense (in whole or in part) to any Third Party Claim by the Company Representative or Parent, as applicable, and shall not affect such Person’s duty or obligations under this ARTICLE VIII, except to the extent (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have adversely affected the ability of such Person to defend against or reduce its liability or caused or increased such liability or otherwise caused the damages for which such Person is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had Parent or the Company Representative, as applicable, given prompt notice hereunder. So long as the Company Representative or Parent, as applicable, is defending any such action actively and in good faith, the Parent Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as applicable, shall not settle such action. Parent and the Surviving Company shall make available to the Company Representative or Parent all relevant records and other relevant materials required by the Company Representative or Parent and in the possession or under the control of Parent or the Surviving Company, for the use of the Company Representative or Parent and their respective representatives in defending any such action, and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.

(f) Indemnitee Rights. Anything in this Section 8.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Company Representative shall not, without the written consent of Parent, settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to each of the Parent Indemnitees of a full and unconditional release from all liability and obligation in respect of such action without any payment by any Parent Indemnitee and (ii) Parent shall not, without the written consent of the Company Representative, settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to each of the Company Indemnitees of a full and unconditional release from all liability and obligation in respect of such action without any payment by any Company Indemnitee.

Section 8.4. Indemnification of Direct Claims. Any action on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by Parent by giving the Company Representative a Notice of Claim, or by Company Representative by giving Parent a Notice of Claim, each in accordance with Section 8.3(a) (substituting “Direct Claim” for “Third Party Claim” as applicable). Failure to give prompt Notice of Claim or to provide copies of relevant available documents or to furnish relevant available data shall not constitute a defense (in whole or in part) to any Direct Claim and shall not affect the Company Representative’s or Parent’s duty or obligations under this ARTICLE VIII, except to the extent (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have adversely affected the ability of the Company Representative or Parent to defend against or reduce its liability or caused or increased such liability or otherwise caused the damages for which the Company Representative or Parent is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had such Person given prompt notice hereunder. The Company Representative and its representatives and advisors, or Parent and its representatives and advisors, as applicable, shall have twenty (20) calendar days after its receipt of the Notice of Claim to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and Parent, the Surviving Company and Parent or the Company Representative, as applicable, shall reasonably assist such investigation by giving such information and access to persons or records as the Company Representative or Parent, as applicable, may reasonably request. If the Company Representative or Parent, as applicable, does not respond to the Notice of Claim within such twenty (20) calendar day period, the Company Representative or Parent shall be deemed to have accepted the Direct Claim. If Company Representative or Parent rejects the Direct Claim, it shall, within such twenty (20) calendar day period, notify Parent or the Company Representative, as applicable, in writing of its rejection, specifying the factual or legal basis therefor, and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Direct Claim. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement within ten (10) calendar days after Parent’s or Company Representative’s receipt of such rejection notice, Parent or the Company Representative shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Parent Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as applicable, with respect to the Direct Claim, on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.5. Insurance Effect. To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII are recoverable pursuant to contractual indemnification rights or other reimbursement arrangements pursuant to an insurance policy, Parent, the Surviving Company and the Parent Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such insurance; provided that Parent or the Company Representative shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII in respect of such Losses and the time limitations set forth in Section 8.7 hereof for bringing a claim of indemnification under this Agreement shall be tolled during the pendency of such insurance claim. The existence of a claim by a Parent Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any Loss shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing. If a Parent Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee has received the indemnification required by this ARTICLE VIII in respect of any Loss and later receives proceeds from insurance or other amounts in respect of such Loss, then it shall hold such proceeds or other amounts in trust for the benefit of the Company Stockholders or Parent, as applicable, and shall pay to the Company Stockholders or Parent, as promptly as practicable after receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such proceeds or other amount received, up to the aggregate amount of any indemnification received pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII in respect of such Loss. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the Parties that no insurer or any other third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

Section 8.6. Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and Parent, and the Parent Indemnitee’s and Company Indemnitee’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Parent Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee (including by any of their representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Parent Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee or any of their representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Parent Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee 's waiver of any condition set forth in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3, as the case may be.

Section 8.7. Limitations on Indemnification.

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NO PARTY HAS AGREED NOT TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 9.10. Specific Enforcement.

Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Article 13
DEFAULT, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION RIGHTS

13.1 Seller Default. If Seller fails to perform any of their obligations under this Agreement such that the Purchaser Closing Conditions cannot be satisfied, and such failure is not due to a Purchaser Default (a “Seller Default”), and no Purchaser Default has occurred and remains uncured, then, at or any time before Closing, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy for such Seller Default, may elect to (a) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those that expressly survive termination and provided that nothing herein shall relieve any Party of liability for any intentional breach of any provision of this Agreement, (b) proceed to Closing without any reduction in or setoff against the Purchase Price, in which case Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived such Seller Default, or (c) obtain an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief as set forth in Section 13.5.

13.2 Sellers’ Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not have the right to exercise its remedies to terminate this Agreement, unless Purchaser has provided written notice to Sellers specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Seller Default, and Sellers have not cured such Seller Default within 30 days after Seller’s receipt of such notice.

13.3 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser fails to perform its obligations under this Agreement such that the Seller Closing Conditions cannot be satisfied, and such failure is not due to a Seller Default (a “Purchaser Default”), then, at any time before Closing, Sellers, as their sole and exclusive remedy for such Purchaser Default, may elect to (a) terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Purchaser, and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those that expressly survive termination and provided that nothing herein shall relieve any Party of liability for any intentional breach of any provision of this Agreement, or (b) proceed to Closing pursuant to this Agreement, in which case Seller shall be deemed to have waived such Purchaser Default.

13.4 Purchaser’s Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall not have the right to exercise its remedies to terminate this Agreement, unless Seller has provided written notice to Purchaser specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Purchaser Default, and Purchaser has not cured such Purchaser Default within within 30 days after Purchaser’s receipt of such notice.

13.5 Specific Performance. Seller acknowledges and agrees that irreparable harm for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur if Seller does not fully and timely perform its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Accordingly, Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) Purchaser shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically its terms and provisions, without proof of damages and without posting a bond or other security (in addition to any other remedy to which Purchaser is entitled under this Agreement), and (ii) the right to obtain an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and without that right, Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement. Seller agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that Purchaser has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

14.2 Condemnation. If, at any time before the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, any Governmental Authority commences any condemnation or other proceeding in eminent domain affecting all or any part of the Real Property (a “Condemnation”), Seller shall give written notice of such Condemnation to Purchaser promptly after Seller receives notice of such Condemnation.

14.2.1 Material Condemnation. If any Hotel is subject to a Condemnation before the Closing (the “Condemned Hotel”) and the Condemnation would (a) result in the permanent loss of more than ten percent (10%) of the fair market value of the Land or Improvements for the Condemned Hotel, (b) result in any permanent material reduction or restriction in access to the Land or Improvements for the Condemned Hotel, or (c) have a permanent materially adverse effect on the Business of the Condemned Hotel as conducted prior to such Condemnation (a “Material Condemnation”), then Purchaser shall have the right to elect, by providing written notice to Seller within 10 days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s written notice of such Material Condemnation, to (i) terminate this Agreement as to all the Hotels and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those that expressly survive termination, or (ii) proceed to Closing as to all Hotels (including the Condemned Hotel), in which case Sellers shall assign to Purchaser all of Sellers’ rights in all proceeds and awards from such Material Condemnation. If Purchaser does not provide written notice of its election to Sellers within such time period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

15.4.2 Resolution of Indemnification Claim Not Involving Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim does not involve a Third-Party Claim and is disputed by the Indemnitor, the dispute shall be resolved by litigation or other means of alternative dispute resolution as the Parties may agree in writing.

15.4.3 Resolution of Indemnification Claim Involving Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim involves any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, at its cost and expense, and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim, provided that (a) the counsel for the Indemnitor who shall conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (unless selected by the Indemnitor’s insurance company), (b) the Indemnitee, at its cost and expense, may participate in, but shall not control, the defense of such Third-Party Claim, (c) the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement which requires any performance by the Indemnitee, other than the payment of money which shall be paid by the Indemnitor, (d) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation, or investigation, and (e) the Third Party Claim does not seek an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement with respect to the Indemnification Claim, without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in the Indemnitor’s sole discretion. If the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim in an effective and cost-efficient manner.

15.4.4 Accrual of Indemnification Obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall have no right to indemnification against the Indemnitor for any Indemnification Claim (a) which does not involve a Third-Party Claim but is disputed by the Indemnitor, until such time as such dispute is resolved by written agreement or by litigation or other means of alternative dispute resolution as the Parties may agree in writing, including any appeals with respect thereto, or (b) which involves a Third-Party Claim, until such time as such Third-Party Claim is concluded, including any appeals with respect thereto.

15.4.5 Losses. Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of any Indemnification Loss (and not for determining any breach) for which an Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification, any representation or warranty in this Agreement that is qualified by a term or terms such as “material,” “materially,” “Seller Material Adverse Effect” or “Purchaser Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed made or given without such qualification and without giving effect to such words.

15.5 Limitations on Indemnification.

15.5.1 Failure to Provide Notice within Survival Period.

15.5.2 Failure to Provide Timely Notice of Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to defense or indemnification to the extent, and solely to the extent, the Indemnitee’s failure to promptly notify the Indemnitor in accordance with Section 15.4.1, (a) prejudices the Indemnitor’s ability to defend against any Third-Party Claim on which such Indemnification Claim is based, or (b) increases the amount of Indemnification Loss incurred in respect of such indemnification obligation of the Indemnitor.

15.5.3 Indemnification Deductible and Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an Indemnitor shall not be required to provide defense or indemnification pursuant to Sections 15.2(i) or 15.3(i) for any Indemnification Losses incurred by any Indemnitees for any breach of representation or warranty of Indemnitor to the extent that the aggregate amount of all such Indemnification Losses for which the Indemnitees otherwise would be entitled to indemnification (a) does not exceed Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) (the “Indemnification Deductible”), or if such Indemnification Losses exceed the Indemnification Deductible, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to defense or indemnification for any amount up to the Indemnification Deductible, or (b) exceeds Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

15.5.4 Effect of Insurance or Other Reimbursement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount of any Indemnification Loss for which indemnification is provided to an Indemnitee under this Article 15 shall be net of any insurance proceeds received by such Indemnitee in connection with the Indemnification Claim, or any other third party reimbursement. The Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any insurance proceeds or obtain any third party reimbursement with respect to such Indemnification Claim, and if such insurance proceeds or reimbursement are obtained by the Indemnitee after the Indemnitor has paid any amount in respect of an Indemnification Loss to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall reimburse the amount realized or collected by the Indemnitee up to the amount received from the Indemnitor for such Indemnification Loss. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, (i) the existence of any Indemnification Claim by an Indemnitee for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any Indemnification Loss shall not delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions in this Article 15, and (ii) no insurer or any other third party shall be (a) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions in this Article 15, or (b) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which such insurer or other third party otherwise is obligated to pay.

15.5.5 Negligence or Willful Misconduct of Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to defense or indemnification to the extent the applicable Indemnification Loss results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of this Agreement by, such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates or related persons.

15.5.6 Waiver of Certain Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SELLER (FOR ITSELF AND ALL SELLER INDEMNITEES) AND PURCHASER (FOR ITSELF AND ALL PURCHASER INDEMNITEES) HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR STATUTORY DAMAGES (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT IMPOSED ON INDEMNITEE PURSUANT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM), AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ADEQUATE IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES FOR ANY CLAIMS THE PARTIES or any Indemnitee MIGHT HAVE WITH RESPECT ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OTHER THAN CLAIMS BASED ON FRAUD, INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

15.6 Exclusive Remedy. Except for (i) claims based on fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) the right to obtain an injunction for specific performance, after the Closing, the indemnification provisions in this Article 15 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnitee with respect to any claim for Indemnification Loss arising from or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 2. Lock-Up.

(a) Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not Transfer any Shares or interest therein beneficially owned or owned of record by such Holder (collectively, such Holder’s “Lock-Up Shares”) until the earliest to occur of the following (the “Lock-Up Term”): (i) the date that is six months following the Closing Date of the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and (ii) the date following the consummation of the Merger on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange such stockholders’ Shares for (or having their Shares converted into) cash, securities or other property (or the right to receive any of the foregoing), other than any holding company reorganization or a transaction that is intended solely to effect a redomestication.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions on Transfer set forth in Section 2(a), each Holder may:

(i)

Transfer its Lock-Up Shares to any Permitted Transferee;

(ii)

Transfer any shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock acquired in open market transactions after the effective time of the Merger; provided, however, that no such transaction is required to be, or is, publicly announced (whether on Form 4, Form 5 or otherwise, other than a required filing on Schedule 13F, 13 D, 13D/A, 13G or 13G/A) during the Lock-Up Term;

(iii)

exercise any options or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (which exercises may be effected on a cashless basis to the extent the instruments representing such options or warrants permit exercises on a cashless basis); provided, however, that such Holder shall otherwise comply with any restrictions on Transfer applicable to such underlying shares of Common Stock;

(iv)

Transfer any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any options that expire during the Lock-Up Term to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations as permitted by the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company in its discretion pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans or arrangements;

(v)

Transfer its Lock-Up Shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to the Company pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect at the effective time of the Merger that provides for the repurchase by the Company of the Holder’s Lock-Up Shares or other securities in connection with the termination of such Holder’s service to the Company;

(vi)

Transfer its Lock-Up Shares in transactions approved by the board of directors of the Company in its discretion to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, or local income tax obligations of such Holder (or its direct or indirect owners) arising from a change in the Code, or the Regulations after the date on which the Merger Agreement was executed by the parties, and such change prevents the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368 of the Code (and the Merger does not qualify for similar tax-free treatment pursuant to any successor or other provision of the Code or Regulations taking into account such changes); and

(vii)

Transfer any shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired as part of the PIPE Investment (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or issued in exchange for, or on conversion or exercise of, any securities issued as part of the PIPE Investment; provided, however, that no such transaction is required to be, or is, publicly announced (whether on Form 4, Form 5 or otherwise, other than a required filing on Schedule 13F, 13 D, 13D/A, 13G or 13G/A) during the Lock-Up Term;

provided, however, that in the case of any Transfer or distribution pursuant to Subsections 2(b)(i), (x) in each case such transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by this Agreement, including the restrictions on Transfer set forth in Section 2(a), and (y) such Permitted Transferee (other than a Permitted Transferee as defined in clause (E) or (F) thereof) agrees to promptly Transfer such Lock-Up Shares back to such Holder if such Permitted Transferee ceases to be a Permitted Transferee for any reason prior to the date such Lock-Up Shares becomes freely transferable. Furthermore, Section 2(a)shall not apply to the entry, by such Holder, at any time after the effective time of the Merger, of any trading plan providing for the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock by such Holder, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as it may be amended from time to time; provided, however, that such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any Common Stock during the Lock-Up Term and no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made or required regarding such plan during the Lock-Up Term.

(c) Each of the Holders acknowledges and agrees that any purported Transfer of Lock-Up Shares in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall not be required to register any such purported Transfer.

(d) Each of the Holders agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the Transfer of the Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions and to the addition of a legend to such Holder’s Shares describing the foregoing restrictions.

Section 3. General Provisions.

(a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and Holders representing a majority of the Lock-Up Shares; provided that (i) no such amendment, modification or waiver that would adversely affect a Holder in a manner that is different from any other Holder shall be effective against such Holder without the prior written consent of such Holder and (ii) if any amendment, modification, waiver or release of this Agreement provides any Holder with rights superior to the rights provided to other Holders, such amendment, modification or waiver shall provide such rights to all Holders of Lock-Up Shares. The failure or delay of any Person to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such Person thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. A waiver or consent to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement.

(b) Remedies.

(c) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction, such prohibition, invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

(d) Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement contains the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

(e) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and assigns and the Holders and their respective successors and assigns (whether so expressed or not).

Exhibit 10.3

SHARE ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS SHARE ESCROW AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [●], 2022, by and among Alpine Acquisition Corporation (to be renamed Two Bit Entertainment Corp.), a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), [●], an individual (the “Company Representative”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (the “Escrow Agent”).

BACKGROUND

A. Parent has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May [●], 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, AAC Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, will merge with and into Two Bit Circus, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Merger Agreement provides that Parent shall deposit the Escrow Shares (as defined below) with the Escrow Agent to serve as security for and a source of payment with respect to the Parent Indemnitees (as defined in the Merger Agreement) rights to indemnification under Article VIII of the Merger Agreement.

B. The Escrow Agent has agreed to accept, hold and disburse the Escrow Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Appointment.

(a) Parent and the Company Representative hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to serve as escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b) All capitalized terms with respect to the Escrow Agent shall be defined herein. The Escrow Agent shall act only in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and shall have no duties or obligations with respect to the Merger Agreement.

Escrow Shares.

(a) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent shall deposit in escrow [●] shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Escrow Shares”), with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Shares as a book-entry position registered in the name of “Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as Escrow Agent”.

(b) All dividends payable in cash with respect to the Escrow Shares shall be paid to the Company Shareholders in the same proportions as the shares of Parent Common Stock are allocated among them, but all dividends payable in stock or other non-cash property (“Non-Cash Dividends”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with the terms hereof. As used herein, the term “Escrow Fund” shall be deemed to include the Non-Cash Dividends distributed thereon, if any.

(c) In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of the common stock of Parent, other than a regular cash dividend, the Escrow Shares shall be appropriately adjusted on a pro rata basis and consistent with the terms of the Agreement.

Disposition and Termination.

(a) The Escrow Shares shall serve as security for and a source of payment with respect to the Parent Indemnitees’ rights to indemnification under Article VIII of the Merger Agreement. Claims under the foregoing rights to indemnification shall hereinafter be referred to, individually as an “Indemnity Escrow Claim” and collectively as “Indemnity Escrow Claims”. For the avoidance of doubt, Indemnity Escrow Claims shall be asserted and resolved solely as set forth in Article VIII of the Merger Agreement, in each case subject to the time periods and other restrictions set forth in such Article VIII. Parent shall notify the Company Representative and Escrow Agent in writing of any sums which Parent claims are subject to an Indemnity Escrow Claim (an “Indemnity Escrow Notice”) and its calculation of the number of Escrow Shares needed to cover such sums, calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to determine whether any Indemnity Escrow Notice accurately describes an Indemnity Escrow Claim or conforms to or is permitted under by or by virtue of the Merger Agreement, but shall be entitled to assume conclusively and without inquiry that any such Indemnity Escrow Notice satisfies the requirements of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not distribute all or a portion of the Escrow Shares except in accordance with Section 3(b).

(b) Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of either (i) a joint written instruction in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A signed by both Parent and the Company Representative (a “Joint Written Instruction”) or (ii) a Final Order (as defined below), in each case specifying the amount, if known, asserted by Parent for such Indemnity Escrow Claim, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the portion of the Escrow Funds as provided in the Joint Written Instruction or Final Order, as the case may be. Any Joint Written Instruction shall contain all requisite information needed by the Escrow Agent in order to distribute the Escrow Shares in accordance with this Agreement, including names, addresses, number of shares, and any other information requested by the Escrow Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, the Escrow Agent shall make distributions of the Escrow Shares only in accordance with a Joint Written Instruction.

(c) Within five (5) Business Days after the date that is twelve (12) months from the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Release Date”), Parent and the Company Representative shall deliver a Joint Written Instruction to the Escrow Agent, instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Company Representative (on behalf of the stockholders of the Company) the number of Escrow Shares, if greater than zero, equal to (i) the number of Escrow Shares less (ii) any Escrow Shares that are subject to an Indemnity Escrow Claim with respect to which the Escrow Agent shall have received an Indemnity Escrow Notice prior to the Release Date, but which remains unresolved or unsatisfied as of such date (the “Disputed Amount”). With respect to any Disputed Amounts, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amounts in escrow in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until the resolution of such underlying Indemnity Escrow Claims. Such Disputed Amounts, once resolved, shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 3(b) of this Agreement.

(d) Upon the delivery of all of the Escrow Shares by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and instructions, this Agreement shall terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 6.

(e) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Final Order” means a final and nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction (an “Order”), which Order is delivered to the Escrow Agent accompanied by a written instruction from Parent or the Company Representative (as applicable) given to effectuate such Order and confirming that such Order is final, nonappealable and issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any such confirmation and instruction and shall have no responsibility to review the Order to which such confirmation and instruction refers.

Escrow Agent.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly provided herein, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of, nor have any requirements to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document between Parent, the Company Representative and any other person or entity, in connection herewith, including the Merger Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to determine if any person or entity has complied with any such agreements, nor shall any additional obligation of the Escrow Agent be inferred from the terms of such agreements, even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement

(b) In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement with those of the Merger Agreement, any schedule or exhibit attached to this Agreement, or any other agreement between Parent, the Company Representative or any other person or entity related to the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(c) The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, document, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by Parent or the Company Representative without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any beneficiary or other person for refraining from acting upon any instruction setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or related to the transfer or distribution of the Escrow Shares, or any portion thereof, unless such instruction shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 9 below and the Escrow Agent has been able to satisfy any applicable security procedures as may be required hereunder and as set forth in Section 10. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due nor shall the Escrow Agent have any duty or obligation to confirm or verify the accuracy or correctness of any amounts deposited with it hereunder.

(d) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to either Parent, the Company Representative or any beneficiary or the Escrow Shares. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through affiliates or agents.

(e) The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or in reliance upon, the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to either Parent, the Company Representative or any beneficiary or the Escrow Shares. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain or believe there is some ambiguity as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all the property held in escrow until it shall be given a direction in writing which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of the Escrow Agent, until an Order or judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction agrees to pursue any redress or recourse in connection with any dispute without making the Escrow Agent a party to the same.

Succession.

(a) The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving thirty (30) days’ advance notice in writing of such resignation to Parent and the Company Representative, specifying a date when such resignation a date when such resignation shall take effect; provided that such resignation shall not take effect until a successor Escrow Agent has been appointed in accordance with this Section 5. If Parent and the Company Representative have failed to appoint a successor Escrow Agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto. The Escrow Agent's sole responsibility after such thirty (30) day notice period expires shall be to hold the Escrow Shares (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same to a designated substitute Escrow Agent, if any, or in accordance with the directions of an Order or judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction, at which time of delivery the Escrow Agent's obligations hereunder shall ease and terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 7. In accordance with Section 7, the Escrow Agent shall have the right to withhold, as security, an amount of shares equal to any dollar amount due and owing to the Escrow Agent, plus any costs and expenses the Escrow Agent shall reasonably believe may be incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Any entity into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity to which all or substantially all the escrow business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further act.

6. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services under this Agreement as Escrow Agent and for reimbursement for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, in the amounts and payable as set forth on Exhibit B. The Escrow Agent shall also be entitled to payments of any amounts to which the Escrow Agent is entitled under the indemnification provisions contained herein as set forth in Section 7. The obligations of Parent set forth in this Section 6 shall survive the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent or the termination of this Agreement.

7. Indemnity.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless by Parent from and against any expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, other than expenses or losses arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. Promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall notify the other parties hereto in writing. In the event of the receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in any state of federal court located in New York County, State of New York.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgement, and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.

(c) This Section 7 shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent for any reason.

(a) Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA Patriot Act”) requires the Escrow Agent to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it. Accordingly, each of Parent and the Company Representative acknowledge that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Escrow Agent’s identity verification procedures require the Escrow Agent to obtain information which may be used to confirm the identity of Parent, the Company Representative or any of the stockholders of the Company, including such person or entity’s name, address and organizational documents (“identifying information”). Parent and the Company Representative agree to provide the Escrow Agent with and consent to the Escrow Agent obtaining from third parties any such identifying information required as a condition of opening an account with or using any service provided by the Escrow Agent.

(b) Such underlying transaction does not constitute an installment sale requiring any tax reporting or withholding of imputed interest or original issue discount to the IRS or other taxing authority.

The rights provided for in this Section 2 shall expire once the Seller holds less than the Minimum Amount.

(b) Purchaser shall take all necessary and desirable actions within its control such that [●] (or such other individual designated by the Seller under this Section 2, the “Nominee”) shall be nominated for election to the Board as of the Closing Date, including but not limited to, ensuring that the Nominee is included in the Board’s slate of nominees presented to the stockholders of the Purchaser and recommended by the Board for election as a director at the Purchaser Stockholder Meeting, and the Nominee is included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus prepared by management of the Purchaser in connection with the Purchaser’s soliciting proxies in favor of the foregoing.

(c) At each subsequent annual meeting or special meeting called for the purpose of electing directors, and in connection with each approval by written resolution of the stockholders of the Purchaser with respect to the election of members of the Board, in each case after the Closing Date, the directors of the Purchaser will be nominated for election at the annual meeting held for the same in accordance with the Purchaser’s Charter Documents. The Purchaser shall take all necessary and desirable actions within its control such that the Nominee shall be nominated for election to the Board, including but not limited to, ensuring that the Nominee is included in the Board’s slate of nominees presented to the stockholders of the Purchaser and recommended by the Board for election as a director at each such meeting of stockholders, or in connection with each such written resolution, as applicable, and the Nominee is included in any proxy statement prepared by management of the Purchaser in connection with the Purchaser’s soliciting proxies or written resolutions in favor of the foregoing.

(d) The Seller shall have the right to require removal or resignation of any Nominee, from time to time and at any time, from the Board, exercisable upon written notice to the Purchaser. If a vacancy occurs after the Closing Date because of the death, disability, disqualification, resignation or removal of the Nominee or for any other reason, the Seller shall be entitled to designate such person’s successor in accordance with Section 3(e) below, and the Purchaser shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event, within ten (10) business days of such designation, take all necessary actions within its control such that such vacancy shall be filled with such successor designee, it being understood that any such successor designee shall serve the remainder of the term of the Nominee.

(e) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Purchaser shall not be required to nominate for election to or appoint any Nominee, if the Board has determined in good faith that such Nominee (i) has continually and willfully refused or failed to perform a material part of his or her duties as a member of the Board, (ii) has been convicted of, or pled guilty or nolo contendere to, any crime which constitutes a felony in the jurisdiction involved or has been convicted of, or pled guilty or nolo contendere to, any crime involving moral turpitude, (iii) has committed any act of fraud, misappropriation, or embezzlement, in any case involving the properties, assets or funds of the Purchaser or its subsidiaries, (iv) has engaged in any other willful and dishonest conduct against the Purchaser or its subsidiaries, or (v) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Purchaser declines to nominate or appoint a Nominee based on the first sentence of this Section 2(d), the Seller shall have the right to designate a replacement Nominee.

(f) The Nominee shall be eligible for the same compensation as the other directors of the Purchaser for its service as a director and on any committees of the Board as established from time to time by the compensation committee of the Board. In addition, the Purchaser shall pay the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Nominee in connection with his or her services provided to or on behalf of the Purchaser, including attending meetings (including committee meetings) or events attended on behalf of the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s request.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, from and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall not knowingly take or agree to take, directly or indirectly, any action to frustrate, obstruct or otherwise prevent, it from performing its obligations to nominate the Nominee.

(h) Indemnification. For so long as any Nominee serves as a director, (i) the Purchaser shall provide such Nominee with the same expense reimbursement, benefits, indemnity, exculpation and other arrangements provided to the other directors and (ii) the Purchaser shall not amend or repeal any right to indemnification or exculpation covering or benefiting any such director as and to the extent consistent with applicable law, the Purchaser’s Charter Documents and any indemnification agreements with directors (whether such right is contained in the Purchaser’s Charter Documents or another document) (except to the extent such amendment permits the Purchaser to provide broader indemnification or exculpation rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto).

(i) D&O Insurance. The Purchaser shall (i) purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in an amount and with terms and conditions determined by the Board to be reasonable and customary and (ii) for so long as any Nominee serves as a director, maintain such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage with respect to such Nominee (subject to the limitations of such coverage). Upon the removal or resignation of any Nominee for any reason, the Purchaser shall take all actions reasonably necessary to continue to maintain such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage with respect to such Nominee for a period of not less than six years from any such event in respect of any act or omission of such Nominee occurring at or prior to such event.

Section 3. Shelf Registration.

(a) Filing. The Purchaser shall, subject to Section 6(d) hereof, submit or file within 45 days of the Closing Date or such other earlier date as is required in accordance with any of the PIPE Documents, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective as soon as practicable thereafter, a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”) or, if the Purchaser is eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form S-3, a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”), in each case, covering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two business days prior to such submission or filing) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its best efforts to have the Shelf declared effective after the submission or filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day following the submission or filing date thereof if the Commission notifies the Purchaser that it will “review” the Registration Statement and (ii) the tenth business day after the date the Purchaser is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Seller. Subject to Section 3(b) and Section 6(d) hereof, the Purchaser shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use to permit the Seller named therein to sell its Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Purchaser files a Form S-1 Shelf, the Purchaser shall use its best efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchaser is eligible to use Form S-3.

(b) Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Purchaser shall, subject to Section 6(d) hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its best efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably practicable, amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities under such Shelf (determined as of two business days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Seller named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Purchaser shall use its best efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Purchaser is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use to permit the Seller named therein to sell its Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Purchaser is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form.

(c) New Registrable Securities. Subject to Section 6(d) hereof, in the event that the Seller holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Purchaser, upon request of the Seller, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Purchaser’s option, any then-available Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that (i) the Purchaser shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered if the total offering price thereof is reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $5 million and (ii) the Purchaser shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered two times per calendar year.

(d) Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, the Seller (a “Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Purchaser shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $5 million, or, if a lesser amount, all of the Registrable Securities held by a Demanding Holder (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Purchaser, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Purchaser shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial Demanding Holder’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Seller, (i) may demand Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 3(d) not more than two times in any 12-month period (the “Yearly Limit”) and (ii) not more than four times in the aggregate (the “Total Limit”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then-effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.

(e) Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown advises the Purchaser, the Demanding Holders and the Seller requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Requesting Holders”) in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Purchaser desires to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other stockholders of the Purchaser who desire to sell, in its good faith belief exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such Underwritten Offering without materially 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 shares, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Shares”), then the Purchaser shall include in such Underwritten Offering (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities that each such person has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, regardless of the number of shares held by each such person (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares, and (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Purchaser desires to sell for its own account, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

(f) Withdrawal. Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown may elect to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever by giving written notice (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to the Purchaser and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their request to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that any other Demanding Holder(s) may elect to have the Purchaser continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the Demanding Holder(s). If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall not constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of Section 3(d) hereof and shall not count toward the Yearly Limit and the Total Limit; provided that, if any other Demanding Holder(s) elects to continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by the Demanding Holders for purposes of Section 3(d) hereof and shall count toward the Yearly Limit and the Total Limit. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Purchaser shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Requesting Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Shelf Takedown prior to any withdrawal under this Section 3(f).

Section 4. Piggy-Back Registration.

(a) Piggy-Back Rights. If the Purchaser or the Seller proposed to consummate a registered offering of, or if the Purchaser proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Registration of, equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, for its own account or for stockholders of the Purchaser for their account (or by the Purchaser and by stockholders of the Purchaser including, without limitation, an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 3), 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) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Purchaser’s existing stockholders, (iii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iv) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Purchaser or (v) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Purchaser shall (x) give written notice of such proposed offering to the Seller as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) 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 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, of the offering, and (y) offer to the Seller in such notice the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such persons may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). Subject to Section 4(b) hereof, the Purchaser shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggy-Back Registration and, if applicable, shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggy-Back Registration to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Seller pursuant to this Section 4(a) to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Purchaser included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of the Seller’s Registrable Securities in a Piggy-Back Registration shall be subject to such person’s agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement and “lock-up” agreement, in each case, in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Underwritten Offering.

(b) Reduction of Piggy-Back Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an Underwritten Offering advises the Purchaser and the Seller participating in the Piggy-Back Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Purchaser or the Seller desire to sell, taken together with shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or registered offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Seller holding Registrable Securities hereunder, the Registrable Securities as to which Registration has been requested under this Section 4, and the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a Registered Offering has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Purchaser, in its good faith belief exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then:

(i) If the Registration or registered offering is undertaken for the Purchaser’s account, the Purchaser shall include in any such Registration or registered offering: (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Purchaser desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of the Seller exercising its rights to register its Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, Pro Rata, based on the respective number that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and

(ii) If the Registration or registered offering is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than the Seller, then the Purchaser shall include in any such Registration or registered offering: (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of the demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the shares of Common Stock or other securities comprised of Registrable Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration has been requested by the Seller pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), collectively, the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Purchaser desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of other persons that the Purchaser is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

(c) Withdrawal. The Seller holding Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdraw from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by Section 4(c) hereof) may elect to withdraw the Seller’s request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Purchaser of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement 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. The Purchaser (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons or entities making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, the Purchaser shall pay all expenses incurred by the Seller holding Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 6(c).

(d) Unlimited Piggy-Back Registration Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, any Piggy-Back Registration effected pursuant to this Section 4 shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under Section 3 hereof and shall not count toward the Yearly Limit or the Total Limit. The Seller holding Registrable Securities may participate in an unlimited number of Piggy-Back Registrations.

Section 5. Block Trades. Notwithstanding any other provision of Sections 3 and 4, but subject to Section 6(b), if the Seller desires to effect a registered offering and/or sale of Registrable Securities on a coordinated or underwritten basis commonly known as a “block trade” (whether firm commitment or otherwise) requiring the involvement of the Purchaser but not involving any “road show” or substantial marketing efforts prior to pricing, including, without limitation, a same day trade, overnight trade or similar transaction (a “Block Trade”), the Seller shall provide written notice to the Purchaser at least five (5) business days prior to the date such Block Trade will commence. As promptly as reasonably practicable, the Purchaser shall cooperate with such requesting Seller to facilitate such Block Trade. The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Purchaser and the Underwriter(s) (including by disclosing the maximum number of Registrable Securities proposed to be the subject of such Block Trade) in order to facilitate preparation of the Registration Statement, Prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade and any related due diligence and comfort procedures. For the avoidance of doubt, a Block Trade shall not constitute an Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Shares being sold in any Block Trade shall select the underwriter(s) to administer such Block Trade; provided that such underwriter(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company.

Section 6. Registration Procedures.

(a) Filings; Information. In connection with any Registration of Registrable Securities, the Purchaser shall use its best efforts to effect the Registration and permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:

(i) Filing Registration Statement. The Purchaser shall use its best efforts to, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of any request, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Purchaser then qualifies or which counsel for the Purchaser shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep it effective until all Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities.

(ii) Copies. The Purchaser shall, prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and the Seller’s legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters, if any, and the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in such Registration or legal counsel for the Seller may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Seller.

(iii) Amendments and Supplements. The Purchaser shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith, as may be reasonably requested by the Seller that holds at least 5% percent of the Registrable Securities registered on such Registration Statement or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn.

(iv) Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Purchaser shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) business days after such filing, notify the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify the Seller promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events within two (2) business days of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and the Purchaser shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly make available to the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment; except that before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, the Purchaser shall furnish to the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for the Seller, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide the Seller and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon, and the Purchaser shall not file any Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, to which the Seller or its legal counsel shall object.

(v) State Securities Laws Compliance. The Purchaser shall use its best efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of its intended plan of distribution) may request (or provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Seller that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or qualification) and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Purchaser and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

(vi) Agreements for Disposition. The Purchaser shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Purchaser in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in such registration statement. The Seller holding Registrable Securities included in such registration statement shall not be required to make any representations or warranties in the underwriting agreement except, if applicable, with respect to the Seller’s organization, good standing, authority, title to Registrable Securities, lack of conflict of such sale with the Seller’s material agreements and organizational documents, and with respect to written information relating to the Seller that it has furnished in writing expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement.

(vii) Cooperation. The principal executive officer of the Purchaser, the principal financial officer of the Purchaser, the principal accounting officer of the Purchaser and all other officers and members of the management of the Purchaser shall cooperate fully in any offering of Registrable Securities hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the preparation of the Registration Statement with respect to such offering and all other offering materials and related documents, and participation in meetings with Underwriters, attorneys, accountants and potential holders of Registrable Securities.

(viii) Records. The Purchaser shall make available for inspection by the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or any Underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Purchaser, as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Purchaser’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Seller or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information.

(ix) Opinions and Comfort Letters. The Purchaser shall furnish to the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement (and including, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, a Block Trade or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration) a signed counterpart, addressed to such person and dates such date, of (i) any opinion and negative assurance letter of counsel to the Purchaser delivered to the participating holders of Registrable Securities, the broker, placement agents or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, and (ii) any “cold comfort” letter from the Purchaser’s independent registered public accountants delivered to any Underwriter. In the event no legal opinion is delivered to any Underwriter, the Purchaser shall furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, at any time that such holder elects to use a prospectus, an opinion of counsel to the Purchaser to the effect that the Registration Statement containing such prospectus has been declared effective and that no stop order is in effect.

(x) Earnings Statement. The Purchaser shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the Securities Act, and make available to its stockholders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Purchaser’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

(xi) Listing. The Purchaser shall use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities included in any registration to be listed on such exchanges or otherwise designated for trading in the same manner as similar securities issued by the Purchaser are then listed or designated or, if no such similar securities are then listed or designated, in a manner satisfactory to the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in such registration.

(xii) Road Show. If the Registration involves the registration of Registrable Securities involving anticipated gross proceeds in excess of $5 million, the Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Purchaser to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering (it being agreed that such “road show” may utilize videoconferencing).

(b) Obligation to Suspend Distribution. Upon receipt of any notice from the Purchaser of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6(a)(iv), or, in the case of a resale registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 3 hereof, upon any suspension by the Purchaser, pursuant to a written insider trading compliance program adopted by the Purchaser’s Board, of the ability of all “insiders” covered by such program to transact in the Purchaser’s securities because of the existence of material non-public information (and for the avoidance of doubt, only if such compliance program is applicable to the Seller) (a “Suspension Event”), the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in any Registration shall immediately discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until the Seller receives the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 6(a)(iv) or the restriction on the ability of “insiders” to transact in the Purchaser’s securities is removed, as applicable, and, if so directed by the Purchaser, the Seller will deliver to the Purchaser all written copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Seller’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice.

(c) Registration Expenses. The Purchaser shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Registration, and all expenses incurred in performing or complying with its other obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the Registration Statement becomes effective, including, without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and fees of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed; (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or “blue sky” laws (including fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities); (iii) printing expenses; (iv) the Purchaser’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 6(a)(xi); (vi) FINRA fees; (vii) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Purchaser and fees and expenses for independent certified public accountants retained by the Purchaser (including the expenses or costs associated with the delivery of any opinions or comfort letters requested pursuant to Section 6(a)(ix)); (viii) the fees and expenses of any special experts retained by the Purchaser in connection with such Registration; and (ix) the fees and expenses of one legal counsel selected by the a majority-in-interest of the Seller holding Registrable Securities included in such Registration not to exceed $35,000. The Purchaser 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, all selling stockholders and the Purchaser shall bear the expenses of the Underwriter pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of shares each is selling in such offering.

(d) Information. The Seller holding Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Purchaser, 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 pursuant to Section 3 and in connection with the Purchaser’s obligation to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. In addition, the Seller agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to the Purchaser the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Seller in order for the Purchaser to make determinations hereunder.

(e) Opt-Out Notices. The Seller may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Purchaser requesting that the Seller not receive notice from the Purchaser of the proposed filing of any Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 3(d), the proposed filing of any Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 4(a), the withdrawal of any Piggy-Back Registration pursuant to Section 4(c) or any Suspension Event pursuant to Section 6(b); provided, however, that the Seller may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from the Seller (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Purchaser shall not deliver any such notice to the Seller pursuant to Sections 3(d), 4(a), 4(c) or 6(b), as applicable, and the Seller shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to the Seller’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, the Seller will notify the Purchaser in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 6(e) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Purchaser will so notify the Seller, within one (1) business day of the Seller’s notification to the Purchaser, by delivering to the Seller a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide the Seller with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

Section 7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and each other holder of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Seller and each other holder of Registrable Securities (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, a “Seller 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, final prospectus or summary 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 the Purchaser of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Purchaser and relating to action or inaction required of the Purchaser in connection with any such registration; and the Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Seller Indemnified Party for any reasonable legal and any other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such Seller Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action whether or not any such person is a party to any such claim or action and including any and all legal and other expenses incurred in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise; provided, however, that the Purchaser 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 made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Purchaser, in writing, by such selling holder expressly for use therein. The Purchaser also shall indemnify any Underwriter of the Registrable Securities, their officers, affiliates, directors, partners, members and agents and each person who controls such Underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification provided above in this Section 7(a).

(b) Indemnification by the Seller Holding Registrable Securities. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7(d)(iii) hereof, the Seller holding Registrable Securities will, in the event that any Registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by the Seller, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, each of its directors, officers, agents and each person who controls the Purchaser and each Underwriter (if any), and each other Seller and each other person, if any, who controls another Seller or such Underwriter 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, final prospectus or summary 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 the Purchaser by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Purchaser, 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. The Seller’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by the Seller.

(c) 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 Section 7(a) or 7(b), such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, promptly 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) 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 advice 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 prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

(d) Contribution.

(i) If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 7(a), 7(b) and 7(c) is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any expenses, 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.

(ii) The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) 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 7(d)(i).

(iii) 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 7(d), no Seller holding Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by the Seller 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) with respect to any action shall be entitled to contribution in such action from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Purchaser and the Seller holding Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any Indemnified Party for contribution to such party in the event the Purchaser’s or the Seller’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

Section 8. Rule 144 Reporting.

(a) With a view to making available to the Seller as a holder of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Seller to sell securities of the Purchaser to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration statement, if the shares of Common Stock of the Purchaser are registered under the Exchange Act, the Purchaser shall:

(i) make and keep public information available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 at all times after ninety (90) calendar days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Purchaser;

(ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Purchaser under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements);

(iii) furnish to the Seller, so long as the Seller owns any Registrable Securities, upon request, (i) a written statement by the Purchaser that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) calendar days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Purchaser), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to a registration statement (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Purchaser and such other reports and documents so filed by the Purchaser, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing the Seller of any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form; and

(iv) provide notice in writing to the Seller that then has one or more designees on the Board of the beginning and ending of any “blackout period” in connection with the Purchaser’s public issuances from time to time of earnings releases for fiscal quarters or fiscal years.

Section 9. No Inconsistent Agreements; Additional Rights. The Purchaser shall not hereafter enter into, and is not currently a party to, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent in any material respect with, or superior to, the registration rights granted to the holders of the Registrable Securities hereunder, including any agreement that would allow such current or future holder to require the Purchaser to include securities in any registration statement filed by the Purchaser for such holders of Registrable Securities hereunder on a basis other than pari passu with, or expressly subordinate to, the registration rights of such holders hereunder provided. Notwithstanding any other rights and remedies the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder may have in respect of the Purchaser or such other party pursuant to this Agreement, if the Purchaser enters into any other registration rights or similar agreement with respect to any of its securities that contains provisions that violate the preceding sentence, the terms and conditions of the registration rights agreement shall immediately be deemed to have been amended without further action by the Purchaser or any of the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, so that such holders shall each be entitled to the benefit of any such more favorable or less restrictive terms or conditions, as the case may be.

Section 10. Assignment; Benefit of Parties. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Purchaser hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Purchaser in whole or in part, except with the consent of the Seller. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Seller hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by the Seller in conjunction with and to the extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities by the Seller if such transfer is to a Permitted Transferee. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, legal representatives and assignees for the uses and purposes set forth and referred to herein. Nothing herein contained shall confer or is intended to confer on any third party or entity that is not a party to this Agreement any rights under this Agreement.

Section 11. Remedies. The Parties shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The Parties agree and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to other rights and remedies hereunder, the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief (without posting a bond or other security) from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12. Notices. All notices and other communications among the Parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service or (iv) when e-mailed during normal business hours (and otherwise as of the immediately following Business Day), addressed as follows:

Alpine’s executive team has extensive experience in developing, managing and building custom branded family entertainment from 20 years in leadership roles previously with Great Wolf Resorts, taking that company from one resort in Wisconsin Dells, WI to become the largest family of indoor waterpark resorts with 19 locations across North America and plans for more. Two Bit Circus, Inc., named by Fast Company as one of the most innovative game companies of 2020, brings substantial talent of innovation and strategy in social play experiences.

“Two Bit Circus, Inc., is an industry leader in experiential technology entertainment, and we look forward to joining with their talented team of innovators and their extensive portfolio of social experiences to create a new one of a kind world-class family entertainment brand,” said Elan Blutinger, Chairman of Alpine, “and purchasing two well located conference center hotels aligns with our team’s background in developing innovative, value-oriented, drive-to resorts.”

The new entertainment brand, Revelers Resorts, will provide inclusive activities along with an immersive story experience woven throughout the entire resort; Circus adventures, STEAM games and workshop activities bring to life the Reveler’s world. Full food and beverage offerings are expected to include Plate Spinner Pizza and a Cannonball Candy Shop along with carnival carts with signature treats. Reveler’s Resort will also have one of a kind social play attractions and other games, such as a reimagined arcade and midway for upleveled play throughout Reveler’s Circus Grounds area.

Purchasing existing conference center hotels in strong demographic locations at deep discounts to their replacement costs is expected to allow the new brand to quickly enter new markets, provide affordable entertainment and lodging accommodations, and grow quickly and profitably. These hotels already have the full-service amenities needed to adapt and renovate to the new brand along with leveraging the Two Bit Circus’ immersive-fueled experiential entertainment technology to create Reveler’s Resorts.

Two Bit Circus shareholders will contribute 100% of their equity into the combined company. Alpine will issue an aggregate of 4,980,000 shares of common stock to the Two Bit Circus shareholders, and pay $45.5 million in cash and issue 1,950,000 shares of common stock to the sellers of the hotels being acquired. The boards of directors of Alpine and Two Bit Circus have approved the proposed business combination. Completion of the proposed business combination is subject to approval by Alpine’s stockholders and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions.

Additional information about the proposed transactions will be provided in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Alpine with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on www.sec.gov.
