REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
2.1
Demand Registration.
2.1.1
Request for Registration. The Investors request that a registration statement covering as Registrable Securities the Company Common
Stock issued to the Investors in the Theraplant Merger be filed by the Company within thirty (30) days from the date that the Company
consummates the Theraplant Merger (the first “Demand Registration”). The Demand Registration shall specify
the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The Company will
notify all holders of Registrable Securities of the demand, and each holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a
portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such holder including shares of Registrable Securities
in such registration, a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify the Company within fifteen (15) days after the
receipt by the holder of the notice from the Company. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable
Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.1.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. Counting the first
Demand Registration, the Company shall not be obligated to effect more than an one (1) Demand Registration under this Section 2.1.1 in
respect of all Registrable Securities.
2.1.2
Effective Registration. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant
to Section 2.1.1 above to be declared effective within forty-five days of initial filing. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration
until the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective and the
Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration
Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by
any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to
such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed,
rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering;
provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that
has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.
2.1.3
Underwritten Offering. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise the Company as part
of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall
be in the form of an underwritten offering. In such event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration
shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable
Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities
through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected
for such underwriting by a majority-in-interest of the holders initiating the Demand Registration.
2.1.4
Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering
advises the Company and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the
Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires
to sell and the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back
registration rights held by other stockholders of the Company who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number
of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method,
or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the “Maximum
Number of Shares”), then the Company shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which
Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such Person
has requested be included in such registration, 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; (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
securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) third, to the extent
that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Common Stock or other
securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with
such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
2.1.5
Withdrawal. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled
to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw
from such offering by giving written notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest
of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then such registration shall not count
as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.1.
2.2
Piggy-Back Registration.
2.2.1
Piggy-Back Rights. If at any time on or after the date the Company consummates a Business Combination the Company proposes to
file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations
exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by the Company for its own account or for shareholders of the
Company for their account (or by the Company and by shareholders of the Company including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1),
other than a Registration Statement (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 Company’s existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible
into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall (x) give written notice of such
proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated
filing date, 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 holders
of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such
holders may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”).
The Company shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing
Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back
Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of
such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities
proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into
an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.
2.2.2
Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an underwritten
offering advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common
Stock which the Company desires to sell, taken together with shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been demanded
pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the holders of Registrable Securities hereunder,
the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.2, and the shares of Common Stock, if any,
as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders
of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the Company shall include in any such registration:
a)
If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) the shares of Common Stock or other securities that the Company
desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) 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, if any, comprised of Registrable
Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the applicable written contractual piggy-back registration rights
of such security holders, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (C) 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 for the
account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with
such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and
b)
If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than either the holders of Registrable
Securities, (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 that the Company desires to sell 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 comprised of Registrable Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration
has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Unit Purchase Options, as applicable, 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 Company is obligated to register
pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
2.2.3
Withdrawal. Any holder of Registrable Securities may elect to withdraw such holder’s request for inclusion of Registrable
Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to the Company of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement. The Company (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons 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 Company shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities
in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.
2.3
Registrations on Form S-3. The holders of Registrable Securities may at any time and from time to time request in writing that
the Company register the resale of any or all of such Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration which
may be available at such time (“Form S-3”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect
such request through an underwritten offering. Upon receipt of such written request, the Company will promptly give written notice of
the proposed registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities, and, as soon as practicable thereafter, effect the registration
of all or such portion of such holder’s or holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with
all or such portion of the Registrable Securities or other securities of the Company, if any, of any other holder or holders joining
in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.3: (i) if Form
S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) if the holders of the Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other
securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities
(if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $500,000. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be
counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.1.
3.
REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.
3.1
Filings; Information. Whenever the Company is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section
2, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration and 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:
3.1.1
Filing Registration Statement. The Company shall use its best efforts to, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of a request
for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which
the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company 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 best efforts to keep it effective for the period
required by Section 3.1.3; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to thirty
(30) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any demand registration to which such
Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the President or Chairman
of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental
to the Company and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to be effected at such time; provided further, however, that the
Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately preceding proviso more than once in any 365-day period
in respect of a Demand Registration hereunder.
3.1.2

Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn.
3.1.4
Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) business

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 contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and
promptly make available to the holders of 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 Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration
Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of
filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon, and the
Company shall not file any Registration Statement or prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated

as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may
request 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 Company and
do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such
Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the

due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by
any of them in connection with such Registration Statement.

containing such prospectus has been declared effective and that no stop order is in effect.

3.1.11

Obligation to Suspend Distribution. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described
in Section 3.1.4(iv), or, in the case of a resale registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, upon any suspension by the
Company, pursuant to a written insider trading compliance program adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, of the ability of
all “insiders” covered by such program to transact in the Company’s securities because of the existence of material
non-public information, each holder of Registrable Securities included in any registration shall immediately discontinue disposition
of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder receives
the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.1.4(iv) or the restriction on the ability of “insiders”
to transact in the Company’s securities is removed, as applicable, and, if so directed by the Company, each such holder will deliver
to the Company all written copies, other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus

all selling shareholders and the Company shall bear the expenses of the Underwriter pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of
shares each is selling in such offering.
3.4
Information. The holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the Company,

officers and each Underwriter (if any), and each other selling holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling holder
or such Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether

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 Company by such selling holder expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, and each
other selling holder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation
or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall
be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling holder.
4.3
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability
or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”)
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the
“Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however,
that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability
which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is
actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought
against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent
that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense
of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however,
that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall
have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) 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.
4.4
Contribution.
4.4.1
If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of
any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified
Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or
action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in
connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
4.4.2
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately
preceding Section 4.4.1.
4.4.3
The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately
preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such
Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
4.4, no holder of 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 such holder from the sale of Registrable
Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) with respect to any action shall be entitled to contribution in such action from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
5.
UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION.
5.1
Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act and shall take such further action as the holders of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from
time to time to enable such holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule
or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission.
6.
MISCELLANEOUS.
6.1

Company’s capital stock in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of shares of capital stock for its own account or
for the account of any other person.
6.2
Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not
be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part. This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the holders of
Registrable Securities hereunder may be freely assigned or delegated by such holder of Registrable Securities in conjunction with and
to the extent of any transfer of Registrable Securities by any such holder. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties, to the permitted assigns of the Investors or holder of Registrable Securities
or of any assignee of the Investors or holder of Registrable Securities. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or benefits
on any persons that are not party hereto other than as expressly set forth in Article 4 and this Section 6.2.

addressed as set forth below, or to such other address as such party shall have specified most recently by written notice. Notice shall
be deemed given on the date of service or transmission if personally served or transmitted by telegram, telex or facsimile; provided,
that if such service or transmission is not on a business day or is after normal business hours, then such notice shall be deemed given

breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right,
or to take any one or more of such actions, without being required to post a bond. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred under
this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right,
power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
6.11
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the

provisions thereof that would compel the application of the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. The Company irrevocably submits

over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent

right to a trial by jury in any action, suit, counterclaim or other proceeding (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising

administration, performance or enforcement hereof.
