12
agency or authority having or claiming jurisdiction over such party or any of its properties or assets, provided, that such Designating Stockholder or designated representative takes reasonable steps to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure, provided, further, that no such steps to minimize disclosure shall be required where disclosure is made (i) in response to a request by a regulatory or self-regulatory authority or (ii) in connection with a routine audit or examination by a bank examiner or auditor and such audit or examination does not specifically reference the Company or this Agreement; provided, further, however, that each Designating Stockholder agrees to be responsible for any breaches of this Section 3.4 by such Designating Stockholder’s designated representatives.

4.1 Pledges or Transfers. Upon the request of any Designating Stockholder that wishes to (x) pledge, hypothecate or grant security interests in any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by it including to banks or financial institutions as collateral or security for loans, advances or extensions of credit or (y) Transfer any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by it, including to third party investors, the Company agrees to cooperate with such Designating Stockholder in taking any action reasonably necessary to consummate any such pledge, hypothecation, grant or Transfer, including without limitation, delivery of letter agreements to lenders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such lenders (which may include agreements by the Company in respect of the exercise of remedies by such lenders), instructing the transfer agent to Transfer any such shares of Common Stock subject to the pledge, hypothecation or grant into the facilities of The Depository Trust Company without restricted legends and cooperating in diligence or other matters as may reasonably requested by any Designating Stockholder in connection with a proposed Transfer.
4.2 Spin-Offs or Split-Offs.

13
4.3 Expense Reimbursement. The Company shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, pay directly or reimburse, or cause to be paid directly or reimbursed, the Designating Stockholders and each of their respective Affiliates the actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred or accrued by or on behalf the Designating Stockholders and their respective Affiliates in connection with the enforcement of rights or taking of actions relating to (i) this Agreement, (ii) the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or equivalent documentation) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any registration rights agreements, subscription agreements, stockholders or investor rights agreements, voting agreements or other agreements entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with direct or indirect investments by the Designating Stockholders or their respective Affiliates in, or financing by any of them of, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (subject to any applicable limitations on expense reimbursement rights expressly set forth in such agreements).

4.4 Additional Issuances for Earn-Out. In the event the Company makes any payment in respect of its existing earn-out obligations under Section 2.15 of the 2020 Merger Agreement after the Conversion Date, such that had any Series A Convertible Preferred Stock remained outstanding as of the date of such earn-out payment, the Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) with respect to such shares of converted Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have been adjusted pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) of the Certificate of Designations, then the Company shall issue to the Designating Stockholders that held such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as of the Conversion Date, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the incremental number of shares of Common Stock such Designating Stockholders holding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock would have incrementally been entitled to upon conversion of such shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had such earn-out payment been made by the Company prior to the Conversion Date. The Company and the Designating Stockholder hereby agree that (a) the illustrative calculation of the Conversion Price adjustment described herein has been provided to the GA Holders (the “Illustrative Calculation”) and (b) in the event that the Company makes any payment in respect of its existing earn-out obligations under Section 2.15 of the 2020 Merger Agreement, the adjustment to the calculation (a “Post-IPO Issuance Calculation”) of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the applicable Designating Stockholder will be calculated in accordance with the methodology set forth in the Illustrative Calculation (it being understood for clarity that rows 5-9 shall be calculated (i) in the case of the Designating Stockholders’ fully diluted ownership (row 7), based on the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Designating Stockholders at the time of conversion (row 6) and using the treasury stock method as of the date such earn-out payment is paid to calculate the fully diluted shares outstanding as of the date the earn-out payment is paid (row 5), and (ii) in the case of the Company’s share price (row 9), using a six-month volume-weighted average price ending on the last trading day of the most recent fiscal quarter prior to the payment of such earn-out payment).
14
5.1 Indemnification of Designating Stockholders. (a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold each Designating Stockholder, its Affiliates and any of such Designating Stockholder’s or its respective Affiliates’ respective partners, members, stockholders, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents (including any non-voting observer appointed or designated pursuant to this Agreement) of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) free and harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them before or after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), arising out of any action, cause of action, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry, arbitration or claim by any Person (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) against any Indemnitee (each, an “Action”) arising directly or indirectly out of, or in any way relating to, (i) (x) any actual or alleged fiduciary or similar duties to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective current or former stockholders arising from such Designating Stockholder’s, or its Affiliates’ ownership of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (y) such Designating Stockholder’s or its Affiliates’ control or ability to influence the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (z) such Designating Stockholder’s or its Affiliates’ ownership of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that the foregoing indemnification rights in this Section 5.1(a) shall not be available to the extent that (1) any such Indemnified Liabilities are incurred as a result of willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; or (2) such Indemnified Liabilities arise out of any breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee or its Affiliates or other related Persons or the breach of any fiduciary or other duty or obligation of such Indemnitee to its direct or indirect equity holders, creditors or Affiliates or (ii) the business, operations, properties, assets or other rights or liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that, if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, jointly and severally, make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law. For the purposes of this Section 5.1, none of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by the Company, then such payments shall be promptly repaid by such Indemnitee to the Company.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, jointly and severally, reimburse any Indemnitee for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and any other litigation-related expenses) as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing, defending or assisting in the defense of any Action for which the Indemnitee would be entitled to indemnification under the terms of this Article V, or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnitee is a party thereto. The Company or its Subsidiaries, in the defense of any Action for which an Indemnitee would be entitled to indemnification under the
15
terms of this Article V, may, without the consent of such Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement if and only if it (i) includes as a term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein to such Indemnitee of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such Action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, and provided that any sums payable in connection with such settlement are paid in full by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries.
5.2 Jointly Indemnifiable Claims. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause its Subsidiaries to, be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to the Indemnitee in respect of Indemnified Liabilities in connection with any Jointly Indemnifiable Claims (as defined below), pursuant to and in accordance with (as applicable) the terms of (i) the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, (ii) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, (iii) the bylaws, as amended, of the Company, (iv) any director or officer indemnification agreement, (v) this Agreement, (vi) any other agreement between the Company or any Subsidiary and the Indemnitee pursuant to which the Indemnitee is indemnified, (vii) the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Subsidiary of the Company and/or (viii) the certificate of incorporation, certificate of organization, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or other organizational or governing documents of any Subsidiary of the Company ((i) through (viii) collectively, the “Indemnification Sources”), irrespective of any right of recovery the Indemnitee may have from any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the insurer under and pursuant to an insurance policy of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) from whom an Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification with respect to which, in whole or in part, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may also have an indemnification obligation (collectively, the “Indemnitee-Related Entities”). Under no circumstance shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by the Indemnitee-Related Entities and no right of advancement or recovery the Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the Indemnitee or the obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Indemnification Sources. In the event that any of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall make any payment to the Indemnitee in respect of indemnification with respect to any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, (x) the Company shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause its Subsidiaries to, reimburse the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment to the extent of such payment promptly upon written demand from such Indemnitee-Related Entity, (y) to the extent not previously and fully reimbursed by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to clause (x), the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of the outstanding balance of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and (z) the Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitee-Related Entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. The Company and Indemnitee agree that each of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 5.2, entitled to enforce this Section 5.2 as though each such Indemnitee-Related Entity were a party to this Agreement. The Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform the terms and obligations of this Section
16
5.2 as though each such Subsidiary was a party to this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 5.2, the term “Jointly Indemnifiable Claims” shall be broadly construed and shall include any Indemnified Liabilities for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification from both (1) the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Indemnification Sources, on the one hand, and (2) any Indemnitee-Related Entity pursuant to any other agreement between any Indemnitee-Related Entity and the Indemnitee pursuant to which the Indemnitee is indemnified, the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Indemnitee-Related Entity and/or the certificate of incorporation, certificate of organization, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or other organizational or governing documents of any Indemnitee-Related Entity, on the other hand.
5.3 Non-Exclusive Right. The rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification in this Article V will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other Section of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which such Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under law or regulation or under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalent governing documents) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
5.4 Directors and Officers Insurance. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to purchase and maintain a policy or policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which insurance shall cover each member of the Board.

6.3 Amendment; Waiver.
6.4 Further Assurances. The parties hereto will sign such further documents, cause such meetings to be held, resolutions passed, exercise their votes and do and perform and cause to be done such further acts and things necessary, proper or advisable in order to give full effect to this Agreement and every provision hereof. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall not directly or indirectly take any action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to result in, any Designating Stockholder being deprived of the rights contemplated by this Agreement.
6.5 Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned without the express prior written consent of the other party hereto, and any attempted assignment, without such consent, will be null and void; provided, however, that, without the prior written consent of any other party hereto, a Designating Stockholder may assign or transfer, in its sole discretion, its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any Permitted Transferee of Common Stock, so long as such Permitted Transferee, if not already a party to this Agreement, executes and delivers to the Company a joinder to this Agreement evidencing its agreement to become a party to and to be bound by certain or all, as applicable, of the provisions of this Agreement as a Designating Stockholder hereunder, whereupon such Permitted Transferee shall be deemed a “Designating Stockholder” hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights contained in Section 4.4 hereof will only transfer to a Permitted Transferee if (x) the Designating
19
Stockholders Transfer, in one Transfer or a series of Transfers, a number of shares of Common Stock greater than 75% of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Designating Stockholders as of June 30, 2025, to a single institutional investor Permitted Transferee and (y) such institutional investor Permitted Transferee executes and delivers to the Company a joinder to this Agreement as otherwise required by this Section 6.5. Any institutional investor Permitted Transferee pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall not be permitted to further transfer the rights contained in Section 4.4 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, such institutional investor Permitted Transferee’s ownership for purposes of the calculations contemplated by Section 4.4 hereof will be based solely on such Permitted Transferee’s ownership of the shares of Common Stock Transferred pursuant to this Section 6.5, and the Designating Stockholders that Transferred such shares of Common Stock shall not retain any of such rights with respect to such shares of Common Stock so Transferred. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
6.6 Third Parties. Except as provided for in Article II, Article III and Article IV with respect to any Designating Stockholder, Article V with respect to any Indemnitee or in Section 6.16 with respect to a Non-Recourse Party, this Agreement does not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any person that is not a party hereto nor create or establish any third party beneficiary hereto.
6.7 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS ENFORCEMENT AND ANY CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE MAKING OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE.
6.8 Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby (i) agrees that any action, directly or indirectly, arising out of, under or relating to this Agreement shall exclusively be brought in and shall exclusively be heard and determined in the Delaware Chancery Court, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware, or, if neither of such courts shall have jurisdiction, any other Delaware state court, and (ii) solely in connection with the action(s) contemplated by subsection (i) hereof, (A) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts identified in subsection (i) hereof, (B) irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue in any of the courts identified in clause (i) of this Section 6.8, (C) irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim that any of the courts identified in such clause (i) is an inconvenient forum or does not have personal jurisdiction over any party hereto, and (D) agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action in the manner provided herein or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any claim or action directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the services contemplated hereby.
20
6.9 Specific Performance. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach of this Agreement by any of them, the other parties hereto would be irreparably harmed and could not be made whole by monetary damages. Each party accordingly agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and agrees that the parties, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to specific performance of this Agreement without the posting of a bond.
6.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no agreements, representations, warranties, covenants or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof. This Agreement supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
6.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or circumstance or in any jurisdiction, shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, (i) the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and each other provision hereof shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, (ii) as to such Person or circumstance or in such jurisdiction such provision shall be reformed to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, and (iii) the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances or in other jurisdictions shall not be affected thereby.
6.12 Table of Contents, Headings and Captions. The table of contents, headings, subheadings and captions contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only, and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent of any provision hereof.
6.13 Grant of Consent. Any vote, consent or approval of, or designation by, or other action of, the Designating Stockholder Representative hereunder shall be effective if notice of such vote, consent, approval, designation or action is provided in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof by the Designating Stockholder Representative as of the latest date any such notice is so provided to the Company.
6.14 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts (including counterparts transmitted electronically in portable document format (pdf), or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) with the same effect as if the signatures to each counterpart were upon a single instrument, all of which will be an original and together shall constitute a single instrument. The parties hereto irrevocably and unreservedly agree that this Agreement may be executed by way of electronic signatures and the parties agree that this Agreement, or any part thereof, shall not be challenged or denied any legal effect, validity and/or enforceability solely on the ground that it is in the form of an electronic record.
21
6.15 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof, among the Company and the other parties thereto.
6.16 No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or cause of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the subject matter hereof may only be made against the parties hereto and no Person who is not a named party to this Agreement, including any past, present or future Affiliate, Portfolio Company, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or representative of any named party hereto or any past, present or future Affiliate, Portfolio Company, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or representative of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or otherwise based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities against any such Non-Recourse Party. Without limiting the rights of any party against the other parties hereto, in no event shall any party or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Recourse Party. Each Non-Recourse Party is expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.16. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.16 shall limit any Person’s liability to the extent such Person has committed fraud.
