SECTION 3.12 Registration Rights.

(a) Mandatory Shelf Registration. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Second Closing, and no later than September 30, 2024 (the “Mandatory Shelf Filing Date”), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement of the Company (the “Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement”) providing for registration and resale, on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of all of the Shares issued to Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement (the “Mandatory Shelf Securities”). The Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (or any equivalent or successor form) under the Securities Act (or to the extent the Company is ineligible to use Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form or forms, on Form S-1 or any comparable or successor form). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement (and any successor Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement) continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (A) the date when all of the Mandatory Shelf Securities covered by such Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement have been sold, and (B) the date on which each Purchaser is able to sell the Mandatory Shelf Securities without restriction (including any volume limitation) pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (such period, the “Mandatory Shelf Effectiveness Period”). The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Mandatory Shelf Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as promptly as reasonably practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Mandatory Shelf Securities” shall also include (i) all of the Second Closing Shares, if any, issued to the Purchasers at the Second Closing and (ii) any other securities issued or issuable in respect of the Mandatory Shelf Securities by way of stock split, stock dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange or similar event.

(b) Obligations During Mandatory Shelf Effectiveness Period. The Company shall, as promptly as practicable during the Mandatory Shelf Effectiveness Period:

(i) if required by applicable Law, file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement or prepare and, if required by applicable Law, file a supplement to the related prospectus or a supplement or amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document necessary to permit the holders of Mandatory Shelf Securities to deliver such prospectus to purchasers of Mandatory Shelf Securities in accordance with applicable Law and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to the Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is practicable;

(ii) provide the holders of Mandatory Shelf Securities with copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 3.12(b)(i) above a reasonable period of time prior to such filing, and use commercially reasonable efforts to address in each such document when so filed with the SEC such comments as such holder of Mandatory Shelf Securities reasonably shall propose prior to the filing thereof; and

- 23 -

(iii) notify the holders of Mandatory Shelf Securities as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 3.12(b)(i) above.

(c) Subsequent Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement. If the Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time during the Mandatory Shelf Effectiveness Period, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is practicable cause such Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Mandatory Shelf Securities for sale in any jurisdiction) and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is practicable amend such Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness or other suspension in respect of such Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement or file an additional registration statement (a “Subsequent Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement”) for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the holders thereof of all securities that are Mandatory Shelf Securities as of the time of such filing. If a Subsequent Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement is filed, it shall be deemed to be a “Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement” for all purposes of this Agreement and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cause such Subsequent Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement that shall become effective upon filing with the SEC pursuant to Rule 462(e) if Rule 462(e) is then available to the Company for the resale of the Mandatory Shelf Securities) and (b) keep such Subsequent Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and usable until the end of the Mandatory Shelf Effectiveness Period. Any such Subsequent Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement shall be a registration statement on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form and shall provide for the registration of such Mandatory Shelf Securities for resale by the Purchasers in accordance with any method of distribution elected by the Purchasers.

(d) Expenses of Registration. All registration expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with any registration pursuant to this Section 3.12 shall be borne by the Company.

(e) Plan of Distribution. The “Plan of Distribution” section of any Mandatory Shelf Registration Statement shall permit all lawful means of disposition of the Mandatory Shelf Securities, including firm-commitment underwritten public offerings, block trades, agented transactions, sales directly into the market, purchases or sales by brokers and sales not involving a public offering.

- 31 -

(b) No party hereto shall have any liability for Losses pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 for any indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, except for (i) such damages that are paid to a third party in connection with a third-party claim and (ii) consequential or indirect damages that are reasonably foreseeable.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover more than one time for any particular Losses under this Agreement and (ii) to the extent an Indemnifying Party has paid any Losses under this Agreement to any Indemnified Party, no other Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the same Losses in respect of the claims for which such Losses were paid.

(d) Each Indemnified Party shall make reasonable efforts to mitigate or minimize all Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder and, if an Indemnified Party fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to so mitigate any indemnifiable Losses under this sentence, the Indemnifying Party that would otherwise have an indemnity obligation hereunder with respect to such Losses shall have no liability for any portion of such Losses that reasonably would have been avoided or mitigated had the Indemnified Party made such efforts.

SECTION 6.4 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by written notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from any indemnification that it may claim in accordance with this ARTICLE V unless and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Promptly after any Company Related Party or Purchaser Related Party (in such context, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder from, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by, a person unaffiliated with either party or its respective Affiliates, which claim the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (in such context, the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such Third Party Claim identifying the nature and the basis of such Third Party Claim to the extent then known, but failure or delay to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume and control the defense of, and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith and irrevocably agrees to provide indemnification hereunder; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.4, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and to the extent the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense, shall transfer control of such defense to the Indemnified Party) if (i) such Third Party Claim seeks equitable relief or such Third Party Claim involves a criminal action, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have assumed the defense of such

- 32 -

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnifiable claim hereunder without the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not contain any admission of wrongdoing by, the Indemnified Party.

- 41 -

SECTION 7.8 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. The decision of each Purchaser to purchase Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other Purchaser and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser and any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Purchaser (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statement or opinions. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser acknowledges that no other Purchaser has acted as agent for such Purchaser in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Purchaser will be acting as agent of such Purchaser in connection with monitoring its investment in the Shares or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Purchasers has been provided with the same Agreement for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Purchasers and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Purchaser. The Company’s obligations to each Purchaser under this Agreement are identical to its obligations to each other Purchaser other than such differences resulting solely from the number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser, but regardless of whether such obligations are memorialized herein or in another agreement between the Company and a Purchaser.

SECTION 7.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via electronic mail (including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

SECTION 7.10 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties, and shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs and legal representatives.

SECTION 7.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement will confer any rights upon any person that is not a party or a successor or permitted assignee of a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 7.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, statements, representations and warranties, oral or written, express or implied, between the parties and their respective Affiliates, representatives and agents in respect of such subject matter.

- 42 -

SECTION 7.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby. Upon such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.

SECTION 7.14 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
