Item 1.01
Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement
On July 24, 2026, Cartesian
Growth Corporation II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“CGC”), and InoBat AS, a private limited company (aksjeselskap)
organized under the Laws of Norway (“InoBat”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”). The Business Combination
Agreement provides for a business combination transaction that values InoBat at an aggregate amount of $1,265,000,000, consisting of upfront
consideration equal to $575,000,000 and potential earn-out consideration equal to $690,000,000. The Business Combination Agreement and
the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Business Combination”) were unanimously approved by the boards of directors of
each of CGC and InoBat. The closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”, and the date on which the Closing occurs,
the “Closing Date”) is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2026, following the receipt of the requisite approvals
of CGC’s shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions. Capitalized terms used but not expressly defined
in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Business Combination Agreement.
Business Combination Agreement
The Exchange
The Business Combination Agreement
provides, among other things, that prior to the Closing, (i) InoBat will form InoBat B.V., a private company with limited liability
(besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) to be incorporated and existing under the laws of the Netherlands (“ListCo”);
(ii) ListCo will cause the formation of InoBat Cayman Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of ListCo (“Merger Sub” and, together with InoBat, CGC, and ListCo, the “Parties”), (iii) ListCo
will convert into a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) under the laws of the Netherlands to be named InoBat
N.V.; (iv) shareholders of InoBat holding at least 90% of the outstanding shares of InoBat (including shares issuable upon conversion
of InoBat’s convertible notes and shares underlying InoBat options) will contribute their shares of InoBat to ListCo in exchange
for common shares of ListCo (“ListCo Common Shares”) at the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination
Agreement) (the “Exchange”).
At the time the Exchange becomes
effective (the “Exchange Effective Time”), each option issued by InoBat (whether vested or unvested) will cease to
represent the right to purchase shares of InoBat and will be canceled in exchange for options to purchase ListCo Common Shares under a
new incentive equity plan to be agreed among the Parties in an amount equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number)
of (x) the number of shares of InoBat subject to such option immediately prior to the Exchange Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the
Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (i) the exercise price
per share of such option immediately prior to the Exchange Effective Time, divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, and generally subject
to the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) that applied to the corresponding
option immediately prior to the Exchange Effective Time. Immediately prior to the Exchange Effective Time, all outstanding convertible
notes of InoBat will be converted into shares of InoBat pursuant to their terms.
Earn-Out Consideration
In addition to the upfront
consideration, InoBat shareholders who execute the irrevocable shareholder undertaking contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement
(the “InoBat Shareholder Undertaking”) will be entitled to receive additional ListCo Common Shares (the “Earn-Out
Shares”) upon the achievement of certain milestones. The Earn-Out Shares represent consideration equal to $690,000,000 and will
be issued across three tranches: (i) ListCo Common Shares representing $115,000,000 of value, based on a deemed value of $10.20 per
ListCo Common Share, upon the start of commissioning of Project Kamzik, including the production line in Project Kamzik’s facility
in Šurany, Slovakia, before December 31, 2027 (the “Earn-Out 1 Shares”); (ii) ListCo Common Shares
representing $287,500,000 of value, based on a deemed value of $10.20 per ListCo Common Share, if the EBITDA of ListCo for either fiscal
year 2026 or fiscal year 2027 exceeds €47,000,000 (the “Earn-Out 2 Shares”); and (iii) ListCo Common Shares
representing $287,500,000 of value, based on a deemed value of $10.20 per ListCo Common Share, if the EBITDA of ListCo for either fiscal
year 2027 or fiscal year 2028 exceeds €87,000,000, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination
Agreement and the applicable Earn-Out Agreement (the “Earn-Out 3 Shares”).
At or prior to the Closing,
ListCo, InoBat, CGC and the applicable InoBat shareholders will enter into earn-out agreements, pursuant to which the recipients
of the Earn-Out Shares will agree, among other things, that the Earn-Out Shares will not vest unless and until the applicable earn-out
target has been achieved and will be forfeited if the applicable earn-out target is not achieved by the applicable deadline. The Earn-Out
Shares will also be subject to transfer restrictions prior to vesting. In addition, any unvested Earn-Out Shares that have not been forfeited
will become vested upon the occurrence of a qualifying change of control of ListCo, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
applicable Earn-Out Agreement.
CGC Shareholder Redemptions
CGC will provide the holders
of Class A ordinary shares of CGC, par value $0.0001 per share (the “CGC Class A Shares”) the right to have
all or a portion of their CGC Class A Shares redeemed for cash in connection with the Business Combination, in accordance with CGC’s
governing documents, for a per-share price equal to the pro rata portion of the funds then in CGC’s trust account (including interest
not previously released to pay taxes). Any such redemptions will occur immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (as defined
below).
The Merger
Subject to the terms and conditions
of the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub will merge with and into CGC (the “Merger”),
with CGC surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ListCo. At the time the Merger becomes effective (the “Merger Effective
Time”), (a) each ordinary share of CGC issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will
be automatically converted into the right to receive one ListCo Common Share and (b) each warrant of CGC, exercisable to purchase
one CGC Class A Share at $11.50 per share, will be automatically converted into a warrant to purchase one ListCo Common Share at
$11.50 per share. The Parties intend that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Exchange and the Merger, taken together with the
PIPE Financing and any third-party financing, will constitute an integrated transaction that qualifies as a tax-free capital contribution
pursuant to Section 351(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that the conversion
of ListCo from a Dutch private company with limited liability to a Dutch public limited liability company will qualify as a reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. The Business Combination Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan
of reorganization” for purposes of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
The Business Combination Agreement
contains representations, warranties and covenants of each of the Parties that are customary for transactions of this type, including
with respect to the operations of CGC and InoBat prior to the Closing and the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form F-4
relating to the Business Combination containing a prospectus and proxy statement of CGC (the “Registration Statement / Proxy
Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Parties have also undertaken to
procure clearance under applicable antitrust and foreign direct investment laws from all applicable governmental entities.
Governance
CGC has agreed to take all
action within its power as may be necessary or appropriate such that, effective immediately after the Merger Effective Time, the ListCo
board of directors will initially consist of seven directors. Two individuals designated by the Sponsor (as defined below) shall be appointed
as observers to the ListCo board of directors (with no power to vote on any matter before the ListCo board of directors).
Conditions to Closing
The obligation of CGC and
InoBat to consummate the Business Combination is subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the receipt
of all required approvals, decisions or clearances under applicable antitrust and foreign direct investment laws from each applicable
governmental entity, (ii) no legal restraint or prohibition issued by any governmental entity enjoining, prohibiting or preventing
the consummation of the Business Combination being in effect, (iii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement,
(iv) receipt of the requisite approvals and consents of CGC’s shareholders, and (v) the approval for listing of the ListCo
Common Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the ListCo Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Merger) on Nasdaq.
The obligation of CGC to consummate
the Business Combination is also subject to the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, there
having been no Company Material Adverse Effect since the date of the Business Combination Agreement that is continuing.
The obligation of InoBat to
consummate the Business Combination is also subject to the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions, including, but not limited
to, (i) there having been no CGC Material Adverse Effect since the date of the Business Combination Agreement that is continuing,
(ii) the consummation of the Exchange, and (iii) each PIPE Investor (as defined below) having funded their respective investments
pursuant to the applicable Investor Subscription Agreement (as defined below).
Termination
The Business Combination Agreement
may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the Closing, including, but not limited to, (i) by mutual
written consent of CGC and InoBat, (ii) by CGC if the representations and warranties of InoBat are not true and correct or if InoBat
fails to perform any pre-closing covenant or agreement set forth in the Business Combination Agreement such that certain conditions to
closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or
agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iii) by InoBat if the representations
and warranties of CGC are not true and correct or if CGC fails to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in the Business Combination
Agreement such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties
or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods,
(iv) by either CGC or InoBat if the Business Combination is not consummated by December 31, 2026, (v) by either CGC or
InoBat if the requisite CGC shareholder approvals are not obtained after the conclusion of the meeting at which CGC’s shareholders
voted on such matters, (vi) by either CGC or InoBat, if any governmental entity has issued a final and non-appealable order prohibiting
the Business Combination, (vii) by CGC if InoBat has not delivered the InoBat Shareholder Undertaking (executed by shareholders of
InoBat holding at least 90% of the outstanding shares of InoBat, including shares issuable upon conversion of InoBat’s convertible
notes and options) on or prior to August 31, 2026, or (viii) by CGC if InoBat fails to comply with certain consent obligations
relating to National Development Fund II, a.s. (“NDF II”) and NDF II or any of its affiliates objects to the Business
Combination or notifies InoBat in writing of its intention to impose any penalty on InoBat or any of its subsidiaries arising therefrom.
If the Business Combination
Agreement is validly terminated, none of the Parties will have any liability or any further obligation under the Business Combination
Agreement other than customary confidentiality obligations, except in the case of willful breach or fraud. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated by CGC due to a breach by InoBat and InoBat enters into a definitive agreement for
a competing transaction within twelve months thereafter, InoBat will be required to pay CGC and the Sponsor an aggregate break fee
of $10,000,000. If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated by InoBat due to a breach by CGC and CGC enters into a definitive
agreement for an alternative acquisition within 12 months thereafter, CGC will be required to pay InoBat an aggregate break fee of $10,000,000.
In addition, if CGC terminates the Business Combination Agreement due to certain specified breaches by InoBat relating to NDF II consent
obligations, InoBat will be required to pay CGC and the Sponsor an aggregate specified breach break fee of $500,000.
The foregoing description
of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and any related agreements. The Business Combination Agreement contains
representations, warranties and covenants that the respective Parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific
dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective
Parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the Parties in connection with negotiating such agreement.
It is not intended to provide any other factual information about CGC, InoBat, or any other Party to the Business Combination Agreement
or any related agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Business Combination
Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the Parties, are
subject to limitations agreed upon by the Parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating
contractual risk between the Parties instead of establishing these matters as facts) and are subject to standards of materiality applicable
to the Parties that may differ from those applicable to investors and security holders. Investors and security holders are not third-party
beneficiaries under the Business Combination Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements,
or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any Party to the Business Combination Agreement.
Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Business Combination
Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in CGC’s public disclosures.
The foregoing description
of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Business Combination Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1

Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Closing,
ListCo, the Sponsor, certain members of the Sponsor, the PIPE Investors and certain shareholders of InoBat will enter into an amended

Agreement, among other things, ListCo will agree that ListCo will file with the SEC (at ListCo’s sole cost and expense) a registration
statement registering the resale of certain ListCo shares held by or issuable to the parties thereto (the “Resale Registration
Statement”), and ListCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective
as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. Such holders will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights and
demand registration rights, including underwritten demands.
The Registration Rights Agreement
amends and restates the registration rights agreement that was entered into by CGC, the Sponsor and certain other parties in connection

Shares”). Ten percent (10%) of the ListCo Common Shares issued to such parties pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement
will not be subject to a lock-up. Forty percent (40%) of the Upfront Consideration Shares held by certain InoBat shareholders will be

following issuance, subject to release in three equal tranches at 6 months, 9 months and 12 months after issuance, or earlier if the 20-day
VWAP exceeds $14.00, $16.00 and $18.00 per ListCo Common Share, respectively. Earn-Out 3 Shares will not be subject to a lock-up.
Orderly Disposition Agreements
At the Closing, CGC, ListCo
and each ODA Holder (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) will enter into an orderly disposition agreement (each, an “Orderly
Disposition Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, for a period of 12 months following the Closing, each ODA Holder
will agree not to sell, on a daily basis, more than 30% of the 20-day average daily volume of ListCo Common Shares, and not to sell ListCo
Common Shares at a price per share less than $10.20, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable
Orderly Disposition Agreement.
ListCo Equity Incentive Plan
Prior to the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, the ListCo board of directors will approve and adopt an equity incentive plan (the “ListCo
Equity Incentive Plan”), the form of which will be mutually agreed between CGC and InoBat prior to the initial filing of the
Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, effective as of one day prior to the Closing Date. The ListCo Equity Incentive Plan will reserve
an agreed upon percentage of the issued and outstanding ListCo Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis, determined as of the effective
date of such plan, for grant thereunder, which shall include (and not be in addition to) the ListCo Common Shares issuable upon the exercise
or conversion of InoBat’s options.
Articles of Association
At the Closing, immediately
after giving effect to the Exchange, ListCo will convert its legal form from a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap
met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) to a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) and will amend and restate its
articles of association (the Articles), which will govern the rights, privileges and preferences of the holders of ListCo securities after
the Closing, including the rights, preferences and privileges of the ListCo Preference Shares.
Item 3.02

The disclosure set forth above
in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the issuance of ListCo Preference Shares and PIPE Warrants in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Investor Subscription Agreements is incorporated by reference herein. The ListCo Preference
Shares and PIPE Warrants issuable to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the Investor Subscription Agreements will not be registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemption from registration provided
in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure.

Additional Information about the Proposed Business Combination and
Where to Find It
The proposed Business Combination will be submitted
to shareholders of CGC for their consideration. CGC intends to file a registration statement on Form F-4 with the SEC, which will
include preliminary and definitive proxy statements to be distributed to CGC’s shareholders in connection with CGC’s solicitations
of proxies from CGC’s shareholders with respect to the proposed business combination and other matters to be described in the registration
statement, as well as the prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to the shareholders of InoBat in connection
with the completion of the proposed Business Combination. After the registration statement has been filed and declared effective, CGC
will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to the proposed Business Combination and other
matters to be described in the registration statement to InoBat shareholders and CGC shareholders as of a record date to be established
for voting on the proposed Business Combination. Before making any voting or investment decision, CGC shareholders, InoBat shareholders,
and other interested persons are urged to read these documents and any amendments thereto, as well as any other relevant documents filed
with the SEC by CGC in connection with the proposed Business Combination and other matters to be described in the registration statement,
when they become available because they will contain important information about CGC, InoBat and the proposed Business Combination.

and other documents filed by CGC with the SEC, once available, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov, or by

Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,”
“will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,”
“should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,”
“future,” “outlook” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements
of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts
of other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity; financing and other business milestones; potential benefits
of the proposed Business Combination and other related transactions; and expectations relating to the proposed Business Combination and
other related transactions. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K,
and on the current expectations of InoBat’s and CGC’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking
statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by an investor as a
guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult
or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of InoBat and CGC.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in domestic
and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the inability of the Parties to successfully or timely consummate
the proposed Business Combination and other related transactions, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are
delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed
Business Combination and other related transactions; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination
and other related transactions; ability to successfully consummate the PIPE Financing, or obtain additional financing; ability to attract
and retain qualified personnel; global economic and political conditions; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that
could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; legal and regulatory changes; the outcome of any legal proceedings
that may be instituted against CGC or InoBat related to the proposed Business Combination; the effects of competition on InoBat’s
future business; the approval by CGC’s public shareholders of the Business Combination and related transactions, the amount of redemption
requests made by CGC’s public shareholders. Additional risks related to InoBat’s business include, but are not limited to:
The development of battery technology is complex and the timing of development cannot be assured. Delays in the development of InoBat’s
batteries could adversely affect InoBat’s business and prospects; InoBat may be unable to adequately control the costs associated
with its operations and the components necessary to develop and commercialize its battery technology; InoBat may not be able to accurately
estimate the future supply and demand for its batteries, which could result in a variety of inefficiencies in its business and hinder
its ability to generate revenue and profits; InoBat’s expectations and targets regarding when it will achieve various technical,
pre-production and production objectives depend in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by InoBat. If these assumptions
or analyses prove to be incorrect, InoBat may not achieve these milestones when expected or at all; if InoBat’s existing customers
do not make subsequent purchases from it, InoBat will not receive revenue from such customers, and its results of operations would
be adversely impacted; InoBat is an early-stage company with a history of financial losses and expects to incur significant expenses and
continuing losses from operations; InoBat’s business plan has yet to be tested, and it may not succeed in executing on its strategic
plans, including commercialization; InoBat relies heavily on its intellectual property portfolio. If it is unable to protect its intellectual
property rights, InoBat’s business and competitive position would be harmed; InoBat’s patent applications may not result
in issued patents or its patent rights may be contested, circumvented, invalidated or limited in scope, any of which could have a material
adverse effect on its ability to prevent others from interfering with its commercialization of its products; governmental trade controls,
including export and import controls, sanctions, customs requirements and related regimes, could subject InoBat to liability or loss of
contracting privileges, limit its ability to transfer technology or compete in certain markets and affect its ability to hire qualified
personnel; and changes in government policy, including the imposition of or increases in tariffs and changes to existing trade agreements,
could have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and InoBat’s business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects. Additional risks related to CGC include those factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and
“Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in CGC’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2025, and in those documents that CGC has filed, or will file, with the SEC.
If any of these risks materialize or CGC’s
or InoBat’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking
statements. There may be additional risks that neither CGC nor InoBat presently know or that CGC and InoBat currently believe are immaterial
that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements
reflect CGC’s and InoBat’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report
on Form 8-K and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein. CGC and InoBat anticipate that
subsequent events and developments will cause CGC’s and InoBat’s assessments to change. These forward-looking statements should
not be relied upon as representing CGC’s and InoBat’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report
on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Neither CGC, InoBat nor any
of their respective affiliates undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
Participants in the Solicitation

and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitations of proxies from CGC’s shareholders with respect to
the proposed Business Combination and the other matters set forth in the registration statement. Information regarding CGC’s directors
and executive officers, and a description of their interests in CGC is contained in CGC’s annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC and is available free of charge at the SEC’s website located at

potential investors and other interested persons should read the proxy statement/prospectus carefully when it becomes available before
making any voting or investment decisions. You may obtain free copies of these documents from the sources described above.

substitute for the registration statement or for any other document that CGC and InoBat may file with the SEC in connection with the proposed
Business Combination. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY
WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of other
documents filed with the SEC by CGC, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not
constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation to purchase, any securities, in any jurisdiction,

(it being understood and agreed that Continental (or any of its Affiliates) shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Company) and ListCo
shall enter into an exchange agent agreement (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) with the Exchange Agent for the
purpose of (x) exchanging certificates, if any, representing the Undertaking Company Shares and each Undertaking Company Share held

Time, which shall be converted into ListCo Common Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(iii) and on the terms and subject
to the other conditions set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in the event that
Continental is unable or unwilling to serve as the Exchange Agent, then CGC and the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable
thereafter, but in no event later than the Closing Date, mutually agree upon an exchange agent (in either case, such agreement not to
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), ListCo shall appoint and enter into an exchange agent agreement with such exchange
agent, who shall for all purposes under this Agreement constitute the Exchange Agent and each of CGC and the Company shall mutually agree
to any changes to the Exchange Agent Agreement in order to satisfy any requirements of such exchange agent (in either case, such agreement

whose Undertaking Company Shares or CGC Shares, as applicable, have been converted into or exchanged for the right to receive ListCo Common
Shares pursuant to or Section 2.1(c)(iii) shall be entitled to receive the amount of ListCo Common Shares to which he,
she or it is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(c)(iii) upon the surrender to the Exchange
Agent of such certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof). Each Undertaking Company Shareholder or CGC Shareholder holding Undertaking
Company Shares or CGC Shares, as applicable, in book-entry form whose Company Shares or CGC Shares have been converted into or exchange

each Undertaking Company Share issued in connection with or as a result of the conversions and rollovers pursuant to Section 2.4)
shall automatically be entitled to receive the amount of ListCo Common Shares to which he, she or it is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or
Section 2.1(c)(iii).

CGC Shares represented by a certificate, the Exchange Agent shall not issue such consideration until the surrender of such certificate
(or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) in accordance with Section 2.6(a).
(e) If
any ListCo Common Shares are to be issued to a Person other than the Undertaking Company Shareholder or CGC Shareholder in whose name
the surrendered certificate or the transferred Company Share or CGC Share in book-entry form is registered, it shall be a condition to
the issuance of the applicable ListCo Common Shares that (i) either such certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise
be in proper form for transfer or such Company Share or CGC Share in book-entry form shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person
requesting such consideration pay to the Exchange Agent any Transfer Taxes required as a result of such consideration being issued to
a Person other than the registered holder of such certificate, or Undertaking Company Share or CGC Share in book-entry form or establish
to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Transfer Taxes have been paid or are not payable.
(f) No
interest will be paid or accrued on the ListCo Common Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.1(c)(iii).
From and after the Exchange Effective Time, until surrendered or transferred, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.6,
each Undertaking Company Share and CGC Share (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Undertaking Company Shares or CGC Shares cancelled
and extinguished pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) or Section 2.1(c)(iv)) shall solely represent the right to
receive the number of ListCo Common Shares to which such Undertaking Company Share or CGC Share is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or
Section 2.1(c)(iii).
26

Time, as applicable.
(h) Any
portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Company Shareholders or CGC Shareholders twelve (12) months following the
Closing Date shall be delivered to ListCo or as otherwise instructed by ListCo, and any Undertaking Company Shareholder or CGC Shareholder
who has not exchanged his, her or its Undertaking Company Shares or CGC Shares for the applicable amount of ListCo Common Shares in accordance
with this Section 2.6 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to ListCo for the issuance of the applicable amount of
ListCo Common Shares, without any interest thereon. None of ListCo or the CGC Merger Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates
shall be liable to any Person in respect of any consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property,
unclaimed property, escheat, or similar Law. Any ListCo Common Shares remaining unclaimed by the Undertaking Company Shareholder or CGC
Shareholders immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity
shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of ListCo free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person
previously entitled thereto.

CGC, ListCo, Merger Sub, the Group Companies and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted
and withheld) from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under
applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld
amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and
withholding was made. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including through
the request and provision of any statements, forms or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding).

Section 8.17 Remedies.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive
of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude
the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not
be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of
this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties
shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement
and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without
proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees
that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance
is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
Section 8.18 Trust
Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of CGC, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-261866) on May 5, 2022
(the “Prospectus”). The Company acknowledges and agrees and understands that CGC has established a trust account
(the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”)
and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for
the benefit of CGC’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by CGC’s underwriters, the “Public
Shareholders”), and CGC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus.
For and in consideration of CGC entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company nor any of their respective Representatives does now or shall at any
time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom,
or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result
of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between CGC or any of
its Representatives, on the one hand, and, the Company or any of its respective Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter,
and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such
claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Trust Account Released Claims”). The Company (on its
own behalf and on behalf of its Representatives) hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its Representatives
may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any
negotiations, or Contracts with CGC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions
therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with CGC or its Affiliates).

Surviving Company and its Affiliates) of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of
any such communications to any third party.

or potential conflict of interest that may hereafter arise in connection with Dentons future representation of one or more of the Company
or its respective Affiliates in which the interests of such Person are adverse to the interests of CGC, Merger Sub, and/or the Sponsor
or any of their respective Affiliates, including any matters that arise out of this Agreement or that are substantially related to this
Agreement or to any prior representation by Dentons of the Company or any of its respective Affiliates. The Parties acknowledge and agree
that, for the purposes of the attorney-client privilege, the Company shall be deemed the client of Dentons with respect to the negotiation,

Exhibit 10.2
EXECUTION VERSION
SHAREHOLDER SUPPORT AGREEMENT
This SHAREHOLDER SUPPORT
AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of July 24, 2026 (this “Agreement”), by and among Cartesian Growth Corporation
II, an exempted company incorporated under the Laws of the Cayman Islands (“CGC”), InoBat AS, a private limited
company (aksjeselskap) organized under the laws of Norway and registered with registration number 927 439 948 in the Norwegian
Register of Business Enterprises (the “Company”), and certain shareholders of the Company, whose names appear on the
signature pages of this Agreement (each a “Shareholder” and, collectively, the “Shareholders”).
WHEREAS, CGC and the Company
propose to enter into, contemporaneously herewith, that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “BCA”;
terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the BCA); and
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof,
each Shareholder owns of record the Company Shares as set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto
(all such Company Shares and any Company Shares of which ownership of record or the power to vote is hereafter acquired by the Shareholders
prior to the termination of this Agreement being referred to herein as the “Shares”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement
to Vote.
(a) Subject
to the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10, each Shareholder, severally and not jointly,
hereby agrees to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of
the Company (which written consent shall be delivered promptly, and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after the Company requests
such delivery), all of such Shareholder’s Shares held by such Shareholder at such time (i) in favor of the approval and adoption
of the BCA and approval of the transactions contemplated by the BCA (“Transactions”) and (ii) against any action,
agreement or transaction or proposal that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation
or agreement of the Company under the BCA or that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of the transactions contemplated
by the BCA from being consummated.
(b) Each
Shareholder, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees that it shall not enter into any commitment, agreement, understanding, or similar
arrangement to vote or give voting instructions or express consent or dissent in writing in any manner inconsistent with the foregoing.
(c) Each
Shareholder, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to take any and all actions, and to execute and deliver any and all documents and
agreements, deemed reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by CGC or the Company in order to implement the Transactions on a timely
basis and as contemplated by the BCA.
(d) Without
limiting any other rights or remedies of CGC or the Company, each Shareholder, severally and not jointly, hereby irrevocably appoints
each of CGC and the Company or any individual designated by each of them (acting jointly) as such Shareholder’s agent, attorney-in-fact
and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstituting), for and in the name, place and stead of such Shareholder, to attend on
behalf of such Shareholder the general meeting or any meeting of the shareholders of the Company with respect to the matters described
in Sections 1(a)-(c), to include such Shareholder’s Shares in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any
such meeting of the shareholders of the Company, to vote (or cause to be voted) such Shareholder’s Shares or consent (or withhold
consent) with respect to any of the matters described in Sections 1(a)-(c) in connection with any meeting of the shareholders
of the Company or any action by written consent or written resolutions, as applicable, by the shareholders of the Company, in each case,
in the event that (i) such Shareholder fails to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth
in Sections 1(a)-(c) and continues to fail to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set
forth in Sections 1(a)-(c) for two Business Days following written notice from the Company and CGC of such failure to perform
or comply, or (ii) such Shareholder challenges, directly or indirectly, the validity or enforceability of its covenants, agreements
or obligations under Sections 1(a)-(c), or the voting proxy it executes. For the avoidance of doubt, this does not prevent such
Shareholder from withdrawing or otherwise challenging the voting proxy if this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms.
(e) The
proxy granted by the Shareholders pursuant to Section 1(d) is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support
an irrevocable proxy and is granted in consideration for CGC and the Company entering into the BCA and agreeing to consummate the transactions
contemplated thereby. The proxy granted by each Shareholder pursuant to Section 1(d) is also a durable proxy and shall
survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to act by such Shareholder and, upon such Shareholder’s
execution of this Agreement, shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by such Shareholder with respect to the Shares. The vote
or consent of the proxyholder with respect to the matters described in Sections 1(a)-(c) shall control in the event of any
conflict between such vote or consent by the proxyholder of such Shareholder’s Shares and a vote or consent by such Shareholder
of its Shares (or any other Person with the power to vote or provide consent with respect to such Shares) with respect to the matters
described in Sections 1(a)-(c). The proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1(d) on
any matter except for those matters described in Sections 1(a)-(c). For the avoidance of doubt, the proxy granted by each Shareholder
pursuant to Section 1(d) shall terminate automatically with no further action required if the BCA (or any provision
thereof) or any Ancillary Documents (or any provision thereof) is entered into, amended, supplemented, modified or waived in any manner
adverse to such Shareholder without the prior written consent of such Shareholder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
2. Transfer
of Shares. Each Shareholder, severally and not jointly, agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign,
transfer (including by operation of law), allow the imposition of a lien, pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of the Shares
or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing, (b) deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement
or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement, or (c) enter into any contract,
option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer (including
by operation of law) or other disposition of any Shares.
3. No
Solicitation; Waiver of Appraisal Rights.
(a) Each
of the Shareholders, severally and not jointly, agrees to be bound by and subject to Section 5.6 (Exclusive Dealing)
of the BCA to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Company as if such Shareholder was a party thereto.
(b) Each
Shareholder hereby agrees not to assert, exercise or perfect, directly or indirectly, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives, any
appraisal rights with respect to the Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the BCA, and any rights to dissent with respect
to the Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by the BCA or to oppose any reorganization or amendment designed to facilitate
drag along rights or otherwise facilitate the BCA.
4. Termination
of Agreements. Each Shareholder, by this Agreement, with respect to its Shares, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to terminate,
subject to the occurrence of, and effective immediately prior to, the Exchange Effective Time (as defined in the BCA), (a) each
investment agreement between the Company and such Shareholder, (b) each share subscription agreement between the Company and such
Shareholder (such agreements, including any amendment, side letter, conversion deed or deed of assignment and assumption relating thereto,
together, the “Shareholder Agreements”), and (c) if applicable to such Shareholder, any rights under any other
letter agreement providing for redemption rights, put rights, purchase rights, information rights, rights to consult with and advise
management, inspection rights, preemptive rights, rights to appoint or nominate voting members of the Company Board, Company Board observer
rights, rights to nominate or appoint key management or executive personnel of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, rights to receive
information delivered to the Company Board, anti-dilution rights (including any weighted-average or other adjustment mechanism), equity
exchange rights (including any right to exchange, convert or reclassify shares or other equity interests in the Company into any class
of preferred shares), reserved matters or veto rights over specified actions by the Company or its Subsidiaries or other similar rights
not generally available to shareholders of the Company (the “Terminating Rights”) between such Shareholder and the
Company, in each case irrespective of whether any such rights were expressed or intended to survive the termination or expiration of
the applicable agreement, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any rights such Shareholder may have that relate to any commercial
or employment agreements or arrangements between such Shareholder and the Company or any subsidiary, which shall survive in accordance
with their terms.
5. Further
Assurances; Lot Size Support.
(a) Each
Shareholder shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further actions and do, or cause to be done, all things, including, but not limited
to, execution of all such proper agreements, deeds, assignments, assurances and other instruments, reasonably necessary (including under
applicable Laws) to effect the actions required to consummate the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the BCA, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and herein, as applicable. Without limiting the
foregoing, each Shareholder agrees to execute a Company Shareholder Undertaking as promptly as practicable following the Company’s
or CGC’s request to do so.
(b) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in compliance with applicable laws, prior to the Closing, each Shareholder shall support the
distribution of Company Shares to as many of its indirect equity owners as is reasonably practicable, in an aggregate amount intended
to result in at least three hundred (300) round lot holders of the Company and each such owner holding, in connection with the Closing,
a lot size (all such lots to be the same size to the extent practicable) of approximately five hundred (500) ListCo Common Shares.
6. No
Challenges; Release.
(c) Effective
as of the Closing, each Shareholder generally and irrevocably releases and discharges the Company and CGC and their respective successors,
directors and officers from any and all claims, liabilities and obligations, known or unknown, arising prior to the Closing; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 6 shall release any rights of such Shareholder (i) under this Agreement, the BCA
or any Ancillary Document, (ii) to indemnification or advancement of expenses under the Company’s Governing Documents, (iii) arising
out of fraud or willful misconduct, or (iv) any accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Shareholder under any commercial or employment
agreement or arrangement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any accrued compensation or expense reimbursement).
(d) Each
Shareholder agrees not to, and shall direct its representatives and agents not to, bring, commence, institute, maintain, voluntarily
aid, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to, and to direct his or her representatives
and agents to, opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against CGC or the Company
or any of their respective successors or directors, (i) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any
provision of this Agreement or the BCA or (ii) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any person (or that such person may be
alleged to have, including to the Company or any other Shareholder) in connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry into the
BCA or this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit such Shareholder from enforcing such
Shareholder’s rights under this Agreement.
7. Consent
to Disclosure. Each Shareholder hereby consents to the publication and disclosure in the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement
(and, as and to the extent otherwise required by applicable securities Laws or the SEC or any other securities authorities, any other
documents or communications provided by CGC or the Company to any Governmental Entity or to securityholders of CGC) of such Shareholder’s
identity and the nature of such Shareholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under and relating to this Agreement
and, if deemed appropriate by CGC or the Company, a copy of this Agreement. Each Shareholder will promptly provide any information reasonably
requested by CGC or the Company for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the Transactions
(including filings with the SEC), subject to confidentiality obligations that may be applicable to information furnished to the Company
or the Company’s Subsidiaries by third parties that may be in the Company’s or the Company’s Subsidiaries’ possession
from time to time, and except for any information that is subject to attorney-client privilege (provided, that, to the extent
reasonably possible, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to permit disclosure of such information in a manner that preserves such
privilege or compliance with such confidentiality obligation), to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
8. Public
Announcements. No Shareholder will make any public announcement or issue any public communication regarding this Agreement, the BCA,
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any matter related to the foregoing, without the prior written consent of CGC and
the Company, except: (a) if such announcement or other communication is required by applicable Laws or the rules of any stock
exchange, in which case the disclosing Shareholder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, first allow CGC and the Company
to review such announcement or communication and have the opportunity to comment thereon, and such disclosing Shareholder shall consider
such comments in good faith; (b) to the extent such announcements or other communications contain only information previously disclosed
in a public statement, press release or other communication previously approved in accordance with this Section 8; and (c) announcements
and communications to Governmental Entities in connection with registrations, declarations and filings required to be made as a result
of the BCA.
9. Representations

ARTICLE 4
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Transfer Restrictions.
(a) The Securities may
only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant
to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of the Purchaser or in connection with a pledge
as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of
counsel selected by the transferor (in-house counsel to suffice), the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.
As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and, if permitted pursuant
to the terms thereof, the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement
and the Registration Rights Agreement, if a party thereto.
(b) The Purchaser agrees
to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:
NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES
INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF
ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”),
AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT
TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE
WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED
IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED
INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser
may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in
some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under
the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement,
the Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties; provided, however, that, as a prerequisite
to any such pledge other than a pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker dealer, the Purchaser shall (x) provide
notice to the Company of such pledge or transfer at least five (5) Business Days prior thereto and (y) cause to be delivered
to the Company customary legal opinions of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party and pledgor as shall be reasonably requested by
the Company in connection therewith. Thereafter, at the Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable
documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities,
including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of
any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities
Act to appropriately amend the list of selling securityholders thereunder.
(c) Certificates (or
reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including
the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement)
covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant
to Rule 144 or (iii) as otherwise provided in the Articles. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer
Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder or if requested by the Purchaser, respectively, in each case, if the proposed sale
is to be made pursuant to an effective registration statement or subject to an exemption from registration under the federal securities
laws. If all or any Preference Shares are converted or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration
statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is
then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable),
or if the Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current
public information required under required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such Underlying
Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of
the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) or as provided in the
Articles or Warrants, then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective
Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the number of
Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the
Transfer Agent of a certificate (or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) representing Underlying Shares, as applicable,

by book entry, as applicable) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any
notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1.

crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Purchaser. As
used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days,
on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate
(or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive
legend.
(d) The Purchaser agrees
with the Company that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including
any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration
Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive
legend from certificates (or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) representing Securities as set forth in this

and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution
or any claim the Company may have against the Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership
of the other stockholders of the Company.

by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act.

not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the

the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of
the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other
transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

the totality of the procedures required of the Purchaser in order to exercise the Warrants or convert its Preference Shares. Without limiting
the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee
(or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion form be required in order to exercise the
Warrants or convert its Preference Shares. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchaser
to exercise its Warrants or convert its Preference Shares. The Company shall honor exercises of the Purchaser’s Warrants and conversions

set forth in the Transaction Documents.

Neither the Company nor the Target shall publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser, or include the name of the Purchaser in any filing
with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned), except (a) as required by federal securities law or requested by the staff of the Commission
in connection with (i) any filings in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) any registration statement contemplated
by the Registration Rights Agreement and (iii) the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission and (b) to the
extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior
notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).

claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that exclusively as a result of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement the Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition,
business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in
effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that the Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement,
by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents.
4.8 Non-Public Information. The
Company and the Target covenant and agree that neither they, nor any other Person acting on their behalf will provide the Purchaser or
its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company and the Target reasonably believe constitutes, material non-public
information, unless prior thereto the Purchaser shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company and
the Target to keep such information confidential. To the extent that the Company, the Target or any of their respective officers, director,
agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public information to the Purchaser without the Purchaser’s consent,
the Company and the Target hereby covenant and agree that the Purchaser shall not have any duty of trust or confidentiality to the Company,
the Target or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, the Target or any
of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade while aware of, such material, non-public information,
provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction
Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or the Target, the Company shall if reasonably
practicable simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company and the Target
understand and confirm that the Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
4.9 Use of Proceeds. The Company
shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for general corporate and working capital purposes, in the Company’s
exclusive discretion.
4.10 Indemnification.
(a) Subject to the provisions
of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser Party harmless from any and all Losses that any such
Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents (unless such Loss is primarily based upon a material breach
of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings
such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws
or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct).
(b) Subject to the provisions
of this Section 4.10, the Target will indemnify and hold each Purchaser Party, harmless from any and all Losses that any such
Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Target
Companies found exclusively in Section 3.3, covenants or agreements made by the Target in this Agreement or in the other Transaction
Documents (unless such Loss is primarily based upon a material breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants
under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations
by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined
to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct).
(c) Subject to the provisions
of this Section 4.10, the Purchaser will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold (i) each Company Party and (ii) each
Target Party, harmless from any and all Losses that any such Company party or Target Party (as applicable) may suffer or incur as a result
of or relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser in this Agreement
or in the other Transaction Documents (unless such Loss is primarily based upon a material breach of such Company Party’s or Target
Party’s (as applicable) representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings
such Company Party or Target Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Company Party or Target Party (as applicable)
of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Company Party or Target Party (as applicable) which is finally judicially determined
to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct).
(d) If any Action or
Proceeding shall be brought against any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Person (the
“Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying
Party”) in writing, but the omission to notify such Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability
that it may have to any Indemnified Party under this Section 4.10 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results
in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the
defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Any Indemnified Party shall have the
right to employ separate counsel in any such Action or Proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically
authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume
such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such Action or Proceeding there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material
conflict on any material issue between the position of the Indemnifying Party and the position of such Indemnified Party, in which case
the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent
or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any
loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release
of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
4.11 Reservation and Listing of Securities.
(a) Commencing on the
Closing Date, the Company shall maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum from its duly authorized Common Shares for issuance pursuant
to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.
(b) If, on any date
following the Closing Date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) Common Shares is less than 100% of (i) the
Required Minimum on such date, minus (ii) the number of Common Shares previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents, then
the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation
to increase the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares to at least the Required Minimum at such time (minus the number of Common
Shares previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents), as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75th
day after such date, provided that the Company will not be required at any time to authorize a number of Common Shares greater
than the maximum remaining number of Common Shares that could possibly be issued after such time pursuant to the Transaction Documents.
(c) The Company shall,
as applicable: (i) promptly after the Closing Date and in connection with the registration with the Commission of the Underlying
Shares, in the manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing
application covering a number of Common Shares at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take
all steps reasonably necessary to cause such Common Shares to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as practicable
thereafter and to provide to the Purchaser evidence of such listing or quotation and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to
maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Shares on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading
Market or another Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Shares for electronic transfer through
the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to
the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.12 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality.
The Purchaser covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute
any purchases or sales of any of CGC’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at
the Cleanse Time. CGC covenants that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be publicly disclosed by CGC (the “Cleanse
Time”) no later than one Business Day following the date of this Agreement. Purchaser covenants that until the Cleanse Time,
it will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction. As soon as practicable following the Cleanse Time,
but in any event within two hours thereafter, CGC shall inform the Purchaser in writing that it is no longer in possession of material,
non-public information regarding CGC, the Company or the Target. From and after the Cleanse Time, CGC represents to the Purchaser that
it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information, as of immediately prior to the Cleanse Time, delivered to the Purchaser
by CGC, the Company, the Target or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
CGC expressly acknowledges and agrees that, (i) the Purchaser does not make any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that
it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of CGC after the Cleanse Time and (ii) the Purchaser shall not be
restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of CGC in accordance with applicable securities laws from and
after the Cleanse Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio
managers manage separate portions of the Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment
decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only
apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities
covered by this Agreement.
4.13 Blue Sky Filings. The Company
shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities
for, sale to the Purchaser at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States.
[4.14 Sponsor Accommodation.
Within ten Business Days of the date hereof, the Sponsor shall transfer 800,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Sponsor Accommodation
Shares”) to the Purchaser; provided that the Purchaser hereby agrees that: (a) it shall not, prior to the Closing,
Transfer such Sponsor Accommodation Shares to any other Person (other than as set forth in clause (d) below), (b) it shall
not submit such Sponsor Accommodation Shares for redemption in connection with any extraordinary general meeting of CGC’s shareholders

business combination, (c) it shall vote all Sponsor Accommodation Shares in favor of any proposals put forth by CGC in connection
with any extraordinary general meeting of CGC’s shareholders to approve the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination
Agreement or any extension of the deadline to consummate an initial business combination and (d) in the event the Business Combination
Agreement expires or is terminated or the transactions contemplated thereby are otherwise not consummated (each, a “Termination
Event”), it shall return such Sponsor Accommodation Shares to Sponsor within ten Business Days of such Termination Event. By
virtue of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the issuance at the Closing
of Common Shares in exchange for the Sponsor Accommodation Shares will result in such Common Shares being registered under the Securities
Act, issued without a restrictive legend under the Securities Act and freely tradable by a holder thereof that is not an Affiliate of
the Company. The Company represents, warrants and agrees that, as of the Closing Date, the Sponsor Accommodation shares shall not be
subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer (other than as set forth in the following sentence). From the date that is six months
after the Closing Date until the twenty-first trading day following the date that is six months after the Closing Date, the Purchaser
shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of or enter into any other similar transaction
involving the Sponsor Accommodation Shares).]8

written consent of the Lead Purchaser: (a) issue shares of their capital stock or Capital Stock Equivalents, (b) other than

or similar transaction affecting any class of their capital stock or (c) file with the Commission a registration statement under
the Securities Act relating to any capital stock or Capital Stock Equivalents, except pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 4.15 shall not apply to (i) the issuance of the Securities
hereunder, (ii) the issuance of capital stock or Capital Stock Equivalents upon the conversion, exercise or vesting of any securities
of CGC or the Company, as applicable, outstanding on the date of this Agreement or outstanding pursuant to clause (iii) below, provided
that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the
exercise price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term
of such securities, (iii) the issuance of any capital stock or Capital Stock Equivalents pursuant to any stock-based compensation
plans, and (iv) the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register the offer and sale of
securities on an equity incentive plan or employee stock purchase plan.
4.16 No Prohibited Financing Arrangements.
None of CGC, the Company, the Target or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party to, or bound by, and none of them has entered
into, authorized, committed or agreed to enter into, any Prohibited Financing Arrangement. From the date of this Agreement and ending
on the date that is 180 days after the Effective Date, none of CGC, the Company or the Target shall, and each of them shall cause its
respective Subsidiaries, the Sponsor and its and their respective controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, enter into, adopt,

days of the date of this Agreement, Target shall cause the Company to adhere to this Agreement by execution of a joinder agreement in
the form attached as Exhibit D and such joinder agreement shall be and remain a valid and binding obligation of the
Company.
4.18 Authorized Share Capital; Redemption.
If, any time the amount of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares exceeds the amount permitted under the Company’s
Articles, the board of directors of the Company shall promptly convene a meeting of the shareholders of the Company to increase the authorized
amount of Common Shares to the lesser of the amount of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and the maximum
permitted by applicable Law. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, and to cause its applicable corporate bodies
to take, all actions reasonably necessary to permit the Company to effect any redemption of the Preference Shares in accordance with the
Articles, including seeking and maintaining any shareholder or other corporate authorizations required under applicable Law. The Company
shall not take any action principally intended to impair its ability to satisfy any redemption obligation in respect of the Preference
Shares, including by making any dividend, distribution, redemption, repurchase or other payment in respect of any Junior Securities (as
defined in the Articles), at any time when any amount validly due and payable in respect of a redemption of the Preference Shares remains
unpaid; provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Company to effect any redemption or other payment to the extent prohibited
by applicable Law, including applicable Dutch capital maintenance requirements or the absence of sufficient distributable reserves.

not, without the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser, amend, modify, waive, terminate or fail to enforce any lock-up obligation

at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such intentional breach; provided, that
in the event that the Business Combination Agreement is ever terminated by the Company and/or the Target for any reason, the Purchaser

be, dependent on the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. No waiver of any default with respect to any
provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent

5.9 Governing Law. All questions
concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed
and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (other than the Articles) (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective
Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in any New York
State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City in the Borough of Manhattan. Each party hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York
City in the Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated
hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, other than the Articles), and
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction
of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via
registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it
under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall
commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the parties
under Section 4.10, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for
its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
Action or Proceeding.
5.10 Survival. The representations
and warranties contained in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 herein
shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
5.11 Execution. This Agreement may
be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need
not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file,
such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with
the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.12 Severability. If any term,
provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable,
the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in
no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ
an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction.
It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents,
whenever the Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform
its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time
to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future
actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of (x) a rescission of a conversion of the Purchaser’s
Preference Shares, the Purchaser shall be required to return any Common Shares subject to any such rescinded conversion or (y) a
recission of an exercise of a Warrant, the Purchaser shall be required to return any Common Shares subject to any exercise notice concurrently
with the return to the Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of the Purchaser’s
right to acquire such shares pursuant to the Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing
such restored right).
5.14 Replacement of Securities.
If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to
be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor,
a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction.
The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including
customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15 Remedies. In addition to being
entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser and the Company will be
entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation
for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not
to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. For the avoidance
of doubt, Section 4.10 shall be the exclusive remedy for any Losses resulting from a breach of any of the representations
and warranties contained in ARTICLE 3 of this Agreement, in each case exclusively to the extent such Losses arise during the survival
period of such representations and warranties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
5.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent
that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or the Purchaser enforces or exercises
its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid
or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy
law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made
or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17 Usury. To the extent it may
lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts
to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection
with any Action or Proceeding that may be brought by the Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total
liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate
authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate
of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be
obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest
allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent
to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents
from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever,
interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to the Purchaser with respect to Indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction
Documents, such excess shall be applied by the Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such Indebtedness or be refunded to the
Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Purchaser’s election.
5.18 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s
obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of
the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact
that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been
canceled.
5.19 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.
If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business
Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.20 Construction. The parties agree
that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore,
the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed
in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and
Common Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock
combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless
the context otherwise requires: (i) whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding
masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including”
(and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding
such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and (iii) the words “herein”,
“hereto” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer
to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular portion of this Agreement.
5.21 Trust Account Waiver. The Purchaser
hereby acknowledges that, as described in the Company’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering (the “IPO”)
dated May 5, 2022 available at www.sec.gov, the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”)
containing the proceeds of the IPO and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued
from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company, its public shareholders and certain other parties. For and in consideration
of the Company entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Purchaser on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates and subsidiaries, and each of its and their employees, agents,
representatives and any other person or entity acting on its and their behalf hereby (a) agrees that it does not now and shall not
at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not
make any claim against the Trust Account, arising out or as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreement,

Re: Beneficial Ownership Limitation Election Right
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to that certain Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2026 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Securities
Purchase Agreement”), by and among Cartesian Growth Corporation II, a Cayman Islands exempted company, InoBat AS, a private
limited company (aksjeselskap) organized under the laws of Norway, CGC II Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company, InoBat
N.V., a public company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) organized under the laws of the Netherlands (the “Company”),
and the purchaser identified on the signature pages thereto (the “Holder”).
The Company and the Holder desire to memorialize
the Holder’s right to elect to be subject to, and the Holder hereby acknowledges that it is bound by, a beneficial ownership limitation
with respect to the conversion of the Company’s [12.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares] [Series B Convertible
Preference Shares], par value EUR 0.12 per share (the “Preference Shares”), held by the Holder, on the terms set forth
in this agreement (this “Agreement”).
Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Holder agree as follows:
1. Definitions
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings
given to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement. As used in this Agreement:
“Affiliate” means with respect
to any specified person, any other person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by
or is under common control with such specified person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities
Act.
“Attribution Parties” means
the Holder’s Affiliates and any persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates within
the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
“Common Shares” means the common
shares in the capital of the Company, par value EUR [●] per share, and any other class of securities into which such securities
may hereafter be reclassified or changed.
“Commission” means the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission.
“Exchange Act” means the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
“Securities Act” means the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
“Trading Day” means a day on
which the principal Trading Market is open for trading.
“Trading Market” means any of
the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Shares are listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE American,
the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange, or any successor
to any of the foregoing.
2. Beneficial Ownership Limitation Election Right
(a) The Holder may notify the Company in writing that it elects to be subject to the provisions of this Section 2. No holder of Preference
Shares shall be subject to this Section 2 unless such holder has made such election.
(b) If such election has been made, the Company shall not effect any conversion of Preference Shares held by such holder and, notwithstanding
the terms of the Preference Shares, such holder shall not have the right to convert all or any part of its Preference Shares, to the extent
that, after giving effect to the conversion specified in the relevant conversion notice, such holder, together with its Attribution Parties,
would beneficially own Common Shares in excess of four point nine per cent (4.9%), nine point nine per cent (9.9%), nineteen point nine
per cent (19.9%) or such other percentage not to exceed nineteen point nine per cent (19.9%) as such holder may specify in its written
election notice or any subsequent written notice to the Company, of the Common Shares then outstanding (the “Beneficial Ownership
Limitation”).
(c) For purposes of determining whether the Beneficial Ownership Limitation would be exceeded, the number of Common Shares beneficially
owned by such holder, its Affiliates and any such group persons shall include the number of Common Shares resulting from the conversion
of the Preference Shares in respect of which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which would
result from: (i) the conversion of any remaining Preference Shares held by such holder, its Affiliates or any such group persons
that are not being converted pursuant to the relevant conversion notice; and (ii) the exercise or conversion of any other securities
of the Company held by such holder, its Affiliates or any such group persons that are subject to a limitation on exercise or conversion
analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 2. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall
be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
(d) To the extent that this Section 2 applies, the determination as to whether any Preference Shares may be converted, and the number
of Preference Shares that may be converted, in each case in relation to other securities beneficially owned by such holder, its Affiliates
and any such group persons, shall be calculated by such holder in its sole discretion, subject always to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.
The delivery of a conversion notice by such holder shall be deemed to constitute such holder’s determination that the conversion
specified in such conversion notice complies with this Section 2. The Company shall have the right, but no obligation, to verify
or confirm the accuracy of such determination.
(e) Each holder that has elected to be subject to this Section 2 shall be deemed to represent to the Company, each time it delivers
a conversion notice, that such conversion notice does not violate the restrictions set forth in this Section 2. Such holder shall
provide the Company with any information reasonably requested by the Company in connection with this Section 2, in each case to the
extent reasonably required for the Company’s reporting obligations under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other applicable
federal or state securities laws or regulations of the United States.
(f) For purposes of this Section 2, in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a holder may rely on the number of outstanding
Common Shares stated in the most recent of: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission;
(ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company; and (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the transfer
agent of the Company setting out the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request, including by email, of a holder
of Preference Shares, the Company shall, within one Trading Day, confirm in writing to such holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding.
In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities
of the Company, including Preference Shares, by such holder, its Affiliates or any such group persons since the date as of which such
number of outstanding Common Shares was reported.
(g) A holder that has elected to be subject to this Section 2 may, by written notice to the Company, from time to time increase or
decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to such holder to a percentage not to exceed nineteen point nine per cent (19.9%),
provided that any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not become effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after the
date on which such notice is delivered to the Company.
(h) In the event that an issuance of Common Shares upon a purported conversion results or would result in the Holder, together with its
Attribution Parties, being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, such conversion
shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio.
(i) The provisions of this Section 2 shall be construed and implemented in a manner that gives effect to the intended Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, and the Company and the relevant holder shall make such adjustments in interpretation and implementation as may
be necessary or desirable to correct any provision of this Section 2 that is defective or inconsistent with such intended Beneficial
Ownership Limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 2 shall apply to any successor holder of Preference Shares.
3. Miscellaneous
The undersigned each represents that this agreement
constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of such person, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, except to the
extent that enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and moratorium laws and other laws

REGISTRATIONS AND OFFERINGS
2.1 Shelf Registration.
2.1.1 Filing. The Company
shall, subject to Section 3.4, submit or file within 30 days of the Closing Date a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration
on Form F-1 (the “Form F-1 Shelf”) or, if the Company is eligible to use a Registration Statement
on Form F-3, a Shelf Registration on Form F-3 (the “Form F-3 Shelf”), in each case, covering
the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such submission or filing and assuming
that (i) all Preference Shares are converted into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to the Floor Price and taking into account
payment-in-kind dividends for at least three years from the date of such submission or filing and (ii) all PIPE Warrants are exercised
in full at an exercise price equal to the Floor Price) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to have such Shelf declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (a) the
90th calendar day following the filing date thereof if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration
Statement and (b) the tenth (10th) business day after the date the Company 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, any Holder named therein. Subject to Sections 2.1.3 and
3.4, the Company 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 Holders named therein to sell their 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 Company files a Form F-1
Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form F-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration)
to a Form F-3 Shelf as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form F-3.
2.1.2 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 Company shall, subject to Section 3.4, 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 commercially reasonable 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 (2) business days prior to such filing
and assuming that (i) all Preference Shares are converted into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to the Floor Price and taking
into account payment-in-kind dividends for at least three years from the date of such submission or filing and (ii) all PIPE Warrants
are exercised in full at an exercise price equal to the Floor Price), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available
to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable
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 Company 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 Holders named therein to sell their 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 F-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form.
Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form.
2.1.3 New Registrable Securities.
Subject to Section 3.4, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a
delayed or continuous basis, the Company shall, upon the written request of such Holder, promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’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
the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for each of (i) the
Sponsor Holders, collectively, (ii) the Inobat Holders, collectively, (iii) the PIPE Holders, collectively, and (iv) the
Other Holders, collectively.
2.1.4 Requests for Underwritten
Shelf Takedowns. Subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the
Commission, any Holder (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 Company 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, $25 million (the “Minimum
Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company,
which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Subject to
Section 2.4.4, the Company 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 approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Subject to Section 2.4.6, each of (i) the Sponsor Holders,
collectively, (ii) the Inobat Holders, collectively, (iii) the PIPE Holders, and (iv) the Other Holders, collectively,
may demand Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 (x) not more than two (2) times in any 12-month
period (the “Yearly Limit”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effect
any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then-effective Registration Statement, including a Form F-3, that is then available for
such offering.
2.1.5 Reduction of Underwritten
Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding
Holders and the Holders requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the
“Requesting Holders”) (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the
Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Common Shares or other equity securities
that the Company desires to sell and all other Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in
such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders who
desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering
without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method or the probability of success of such offering
(such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”),
then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, before including any Common Shares or other equity securities proposed to
be sold by Company or by other holders of Common Shares or other equity securities, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders
and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata, as nearly as practicable, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities
that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate
number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders (if any) have requested be included in such Underwritten
Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. To facilitate the allocation of Registrable Securities
in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the Underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the
nearest 10 Registrable Securities.
2.1.6 Underwritten Shelf
Takedown 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
shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal
Notice”) to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten
Shelf Takedown; provided that any other Demanding Holder(s) may elect to have the Company 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 constitute a demand for an Underwritten
Shelf Takedown by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of Section 2.1.4 and shall count toward the Yearly Limit,
unless either (i) the Demanding Holder(s) making the withdrawal has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Shelf Takedown
or (ii) the Demanding Holder(s) making the withdrawal reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such
Underwritten Shelf Takedown (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder, a pro rata portion of such Registration Expenses based
on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown);
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 such Demanding Holder(s) for purposes of Section 2.1.4 and shall count toward the Yearly Limit. Following the receipt
of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Requesting Holders. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Shelf
Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.6, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration
Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this Section 2.1.6.
2.2 Piggyback Registration.
2.2.1 Piggyback Rights.
If the Company or any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement
under the Securities Act with respect to the Registration of, equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable
for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of securityholders of the Company (or by the Company
and by the securityholders of the Company including, without limitation, an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1),
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 Company’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 Company, (v) for a dividend reinvestment plan, or (vi) a Block Trade or an Other Coordinated Offering (which shall be
subject to Section 2.4), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Holders of Registrable
Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in
the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus
supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in
such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any,
in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering
such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of such
written notice (such Registration, a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 2.2.2, the Company
shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable
Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 to be included therein on the same terms and conditions
as any similar securities of the Company included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable
Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities
in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder’s agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form
with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company.
2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback
Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good
faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar
amount or number of Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company or the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together
with (i) the Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been demanded
pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with Persons other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the
Registrable Securities as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to this Section 2.2 and (iii) the Common
Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written
contractual piggy-back registration rights of Persons other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, exceeds the Maximum
Number of Securities, then:
(a) if the Registration
or registered offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered
offering (A) first, the Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding
the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the
foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant
to Section 2.2.1, pro rata, as nearly as practicable, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that
each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders
have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
(C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and
(B), the Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested
pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of Persons other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder,
which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;
(b) if the Registration
or registered offering is pursuant to a request by Persons other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include
in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the Common Shares or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting
Persons, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second,
to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities
of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1, pro rata, as
nearly as practicable, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten
Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering,
which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities
has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Shares or other equity securities that the
Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that
the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Common
Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written
contractual piggy-back registration rights of such Persons other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, which can be sold
without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
(c) if the Registration
or registered offering is pursuant to a request by Holder(s) of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1, then
the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering securities in the priority set forth in Section 2.1.5.
2.2.3 Piggyback Registration
Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdraw from an Underwritten Shelf
Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by Section 2.1.6) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration
for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its
intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission
with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the filing of
the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing
such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by Persons pursuant
to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback
Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
(other than Section 2.1.6), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the
Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.3.
2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback
Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, subject to Section 2.1.6, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to
Section 2.2 shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under Section 2.1.4 and shall
not count toward the Yearly Limit.
2.3 Market Stand-off.
In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company (other than a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering),
if requested by the managing Underwriter, each Holder that is an executive officer or director of the Company or a Holder in excess of
5.0% of the then-outstanding Common Shares agrees that it shall not Transfer any Common Shares or other equity securities of the Company
(other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the
90-day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the managing Underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering (the “Underwritten
Lock-Up Period”), except (i) to Permitted Transferees, (ii) as expressly permitted by such lock-up agreement or
(iii) in the event the Underwriters managing the offering otherwise consent in writing. Each Holder agrees to execute a customary
lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all other
Holders). The Company will not be obligated to undertake an Underwritten Shelf Takedown during any Underwritten Lock-Up Period binding
on the Holders, nor will the Company be obligated to include in any Piggyback Registration any Registrable Securities that are then subject
to a “lock-up” agreement.
2.4 Block Trades; Other
Coordinated Offerings.
2.4.1 Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article II, but subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective
Shelf is on file with the Commission, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in (a) an underwritten registered offering not involving
a “roadshow,” an offer commonly known as a “block trade” (a “Block Trade”) or (b) an
“at the market” or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal,
(an “Other Coordinated Offering”), in each case, either (x) with an anticipated aggregate offering price
reasonably expected to be at least $25 million or (y) with respect to all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding
Holder, then such Demanding Holder only needs to notify the Company of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering at least five (5) Business
Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Company shall as expeditiously as possible use its commercially reasonable
efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; provided that the Demanding Holders representing a majority
of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to work with the Company and any Underwriters, brokers, sales agents or placement agents prior to making such request in order to facilitate
preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated
Offering.
2.4.2 Prior to the filing of
the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated
Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right
to submit a Withdrawal Notice to the Company, the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) and any brokers, sale agents or placement agents
(if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated
Offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3 Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 2.2 shall not apply to a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering initiated by
a Demanding Holder pursuant to this Agreement.
2.4.4 The Demanding Holder in
a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to select the Underwriters and any brokers, sale agents or placement
agents (if any) for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering (in each case, which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally
recognized investment banks).
2.4.5 Subject to Section 2.4.6,
each of (i) the Sponsor Holders, as a group, (ii) the Inobat Holders, as a group, (iii) the PIPE Holders, as a group, and
(iv) the Other Holders, as a group, may demand no more than two (2) Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings pursuant to
this Section 2.4 in any twelve (12) month period. For the avoidance of doubt, any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering
effected pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1.4.
2.4.6 Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to (i) the Sponsor Holders, as a group, (ii) the Inobat Holders, as a group,
or (iii) the Other Holders, as a group, in no event may the number of Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings demanded pursuant
to this Section 2.4 plus the number of Underwritten Shelf Takedowns demanded pursuant to Section 2.1.4 exceed
a total of three (3) demands for such group in any twelve (12) month period.
2.5 Legends. In connection
with any sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities by a Holder pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission) and upon compliance by the Holder with the requirements of this
Section 2.5, if requested by the Holder, the Company shall cause the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (the “Transfer
Agent”) to remove any restrictive legends related to the book entry account holding such Registrable Securities and make
a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares sold or disposed of without restrictive legends within one (1) trading day of
any such request therefor from the Holder; provided that the Company and the Transfer Agent have timely received from the Holder customary
representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith. Subject to
receipt from the Holder by the Company and the Transfer Agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable
to the Company and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, the Holder may request that the Company remove any legend from the book
entry position evidencing its Registrable Securities and the Company will, if required by the Transfer Agent, use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause an opinion of the Company’s counsel be provided, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to the
effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, following the earliest
of such time as such Registrable Securities (i) are subject to or have been or are about to be sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement or (ii) have been or are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor
rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission). If restrictive legends are no longer required for such Registrable Securities pursuant
to the foregoing, the Company shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section and within one (1) trading day of any request
therefor from the Holder accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation referred to above
establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer
Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book entry shares. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its Transfer Agent,
its legal counsel and all DTC fees associated with such issuance.
Article III
COMPANY PROCEDURES

In connection with any Shelf and/or Shelf Takedown, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Registration
to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof (and including all manners
of distribution in such Registration Statement as Holders may reasonably request in connection with the filing of such Registration Statement
and as permitted by law, including distribution of Registrable Securities to a Holder’s members, securityholders or partners), and
pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:
3.1.1 prepare and file with
the Commission, as soon as reasonably practicable, a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities have

the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the Prospectus, as
may be reasonably requested by any Holder that holds at least five percent (5%) of the Registrable Securities registered on such Registration
Statement or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration Statement
effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution
set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;
3.1.3 prior to filing a Registration
Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and the Holders of
Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as

incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and
such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel
for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;
3.1.4 prior to any public offering
of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered

evidence satisfactory to such Holders 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 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 Company shall not
be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action
to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;
3.1.5 cause all such Registrable
Securities to be listed on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company
are then listed;
3.1.6 provide a transfer agent
or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration
Statement;
3.1.7 advise each seller of
such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by
the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such
purpose, and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if
such stop order should be issued;
3.1.8 prior to the filing of
any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or such shorter
period of time as (a) may be necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable or (b) advisable in order to reduce the number of days that sales
are suspended pursuant to Section 3.4), furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities and its counsel
(excluding any exhibits thereto and any filing made under the Exchange Act that is to be incorporated by reference therein);
3.1.9 notify the Holders at
any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening
of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement,
and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4;
3.1.10 in the event of an Underwritten
Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering, or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent that is registered pursuant
to a Registration Statement, permit a representative of the Holders (such representative to be selected by a majority of the participating
Holders), the Underwriters or other financial institutions facilitating such Underwritten Offering, Block Trade, Other Coordinated Offering
or other sale pursuant to such Registration, if any, and any attorney, consultant or accountant retained by such Holders collectively,
Underwriters or other financial institutions to participate, at each such Person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration
Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such
representative, Underwriter, financial institution, attorney, consultant or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided,
however, that such representative, Underwriters or financial institutions agree to confidentiality arrangements, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;
3.1.11 obtain a “comfort”
letter (including a bring-down letter dated as of the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration)
from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated
Offering or a sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to a Registration Statement (subject to such Underwriter or other
financial institution facilitating such offering providing such certification or representation as reasonably requested by the Company’s
independent registered public accountings and the Company’s counsel), in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily
covered by “comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter or other similar type of sales agent or placement agent may reasonably
request;
3.1.12 in the event of an Underwritten
Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to a Registration
Statement, on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion and negative
assurance letter, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating
Holders, the broker, placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to
the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the participating Holders, broker, placement agent, sales agent, or
Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, provided, in each
case, that such participating Holders provide such information to such counsel as is customarily required for, or is reasonably requested
by such counsel for purposes of, such opinion or negative assurance letter;
3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten
Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to a Registration
Statement, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, purchase agreement, sales agreement or placement agreement,
in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent of such offering or sale;
3.1.14 make available to its
security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least 12 months beginning with the
first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter
by the Commission);
3.1.15 with respect to an Underwritten
Offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company
to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in such Underwritten
Offering; and
3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith,
cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders participating in such Registration,
consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with such Registration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter or other sales agent or placement agent if such Underwriter
or other sales agent or placement agent has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other offering
involving a registration as an Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent, as applicable.
3.2 Registration Expenses.
The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall
bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ or agents’ commissions
and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,”
all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.
3.3 Requirements for Participation
in Underwritten Offerings. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested by
the Company, or the managing Underwriter or placement agent or sales agent, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration
Statement or Prospectus, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities
under the Securities Act pursuant to Article II and in connection with the Company’s obligation to comply with federal
and applicable state securities Laws. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not timely provide
the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable
Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to
effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No Person may participate in any Underwritten
Offering or other coordinated offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder
unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any arrangements approved by the Company
and (ii) timely completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting
or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such arrangements. The exclusion of
a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable
Securities to be included in such Registration.
3.4 Suspension of Sales;
Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.
3.4.1 Upon receipt of written
notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement
(it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the
time of such notice), or until he, she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.
3.4.2 If the filing, initial
effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (i) require the Company
to make an Adverse Disclosure, (ii) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable
to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control or (iii) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board, be
seriously detrimental to the Company, and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial
effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders (which notice
shall not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such delay or suspension), delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend
use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose.
In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.4.2, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their
receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer
to sell Registrable Securities until such Holder receives written notice from the Company that such sales or offers of Registrable Securities
may be resumed, and in each case maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents.
3.4.3 Subject to Section 3.4.4,
if (i) during the period starting with the date 60 days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing
of, and ending on a date 120 days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration, and provided that the Company continues
to actively employ, in good faith, all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration,
or (ii) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and such
Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, then, in each case, the Company may, upon
giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4.
3.4.4 The right to delay or
suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.4.2 or a registered
offering pursuant to Section 3.4.3 shall be exercised by the Company, in the aggregate, for not more than 90 consecutive calendar
days or more 120 total calendar days in each case, during any 12-month period.
3.5 Reporting Obligations.
As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange
Act, covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable
grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities held by such Holder without registration under the Securities
Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
Article IV
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
4.1 Indemnification.
4.1.1 The Company agrees to
indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, agents and each Person who
controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus
or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto filed pursuant to this Agreement or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or
contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company
shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.
4.1.2 In connection with any
Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall
furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use
in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent
permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each Person who controls the Company (within the
meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained
in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any
information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation
to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder
of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable
Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers,
directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided
in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.
4.1.3 Any Person entitled to
indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks
indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder
to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s
reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit
such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense
is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its
consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume
the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus one local counsel if necessary
in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim,
unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other
of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent
to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money
is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of
fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
4.1.4 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 of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company
and each Holder of 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 Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable
for any reason.
4.1.5 If the indemnification
provided under Section 4.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party
in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in
lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying
party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by,
in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by in the case of an omission), such indemnifying
party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 4.1.5
shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount
paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth in Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses
reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just
and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 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 this Section 4.1.5. No Person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution
pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
4.2 Waiver of Medallion
Guaranty. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into that certain indemnification agreement, substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement, in favor of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or any
successor transfer agent or warrant agent of the Company) in connection with the waiver of any requirement to provide a medallion guarantee
in connection with any Transfer of any Common Shares or other equity securities of the Company by any Sponsor Holder, PIPE Holder, or
any of their Permitted Transferees; provided that, in each case, as a prerequisite to the Company’s entry into such indemnification
agreement, such Sponsor Holder or Permitted Transferee enters into an indemnification agreement in favor of the Company.

5.2.5 No assignment by any party

Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in this Section 5.2 shall be null and void.
5.3 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by
the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which

5.4 Governing Law.
This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles
or rules of conflict of Laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another

Legal Proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby must be brought in any
New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City in the Borough of Manhattan, and each of

WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
5.7 Amendments and Modifications.
Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the aggregate Registrable Securities at
the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any
of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely effects the Sponsor Holders shall also require the written consent of the
Sponsor Majority Holders so long as the Sponsor Holders and their respective affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least one percent (1%)
of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company and (ii) any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely effects the Lead Purchaser
or its affiliates shall also require the written consent of the Leader Purchaser so long as the Lead Purchaser and its respective affiliates
hold, in the aggregate, at least three percent (3%) of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company; and provided, further,
that any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital
stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of
the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the
part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies
of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as
a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.
5.8 Other Registration
Rights. Other than as provided in the Warrant Agreement, dated as of May 5, 2022, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, the Company represents and warrants that no Person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require
the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration Statement
filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other Person. For
so long as the Sponsor Holders and their respective affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding Common
Shares of the Company, the Company hereby agrees and covenants that it will not grant rights to register any Common Shares (or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) pursuant to the Securities Act that are more favorable or senior to those granted
to the Holders hereunder (such rights “Competing Registration Rights”) without the prior written consent of
the Sponsor Majority Holders, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. For so long as the Lead Purchaser and its respective
affiliates hold, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company, the Company hereby agrees
and covenants that it will not grant any Competing Registration Rights without the prior written consent of the Lead Purchaser, not to
be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any
other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions, and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement
or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
5.9 Term. This Agreement
shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the date of this Agreement and (ii) with respect to any Holder,
the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The provisions of Article IV shall survive any termination.
5.10 Holder Information.
Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to the Company the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder
in order for the Company to make determinations hereunder.
5.11 Additional Holders;
Joinder. In addition to Persons who may become Holders pursuant to Section 5.2, subject to the prior written consent of
at least a majority in interest of the aggregate Registrable Securities at the time in question, the Company may make any Person who acquires
Common Shares or rights to acquire Common Shares after the date hereof a party to this Agreement (each such Person, an “Additional
Holder”) by obtaining an executed joinder to this Agreement from such Additional Holder in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto (a “Joinder”). Such Joinder shall specify the rights and obligations of the applicable Additional
Holder under this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery and subject to the terms of a Joinder by such Additional Holder, the Common
Shares of the Company then owned, or underlying any rights then owned, by such Additional Holder (the “Additional Holder Common
Shares”) shall be Registrable Securities to the extent provided herein and therein, and such Additional Holder shall be
a Holder under this Agreement with respect to such Additional Holder Common Shares.
5.12 Severability.
In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified
or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity,
legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision
a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision.
5.13 Entire Agreement;
Restatement. This Agreement and the documents or instruments referred to herein, including any exhibits and schedules attached hereto,
which exhibits and schedules are incorporated herein by reference, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto
in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings,
other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein or the documents or instruments referred to herein, which collectively supersede
all prior agreements and the understandings among the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein. Upon the Closing, the
Original RRA shall no longer be of any force or effect.

JOINDER
The undersigned is executing

dated as of [____], 2026 (as the same may hereafter be amended, the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among

COMMON SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT
Warrant Shares: [_______]
Initial Exercise Date: [●], [●]
THIS COMMON SHARE PURCHASE WARRANT
(this “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, [_____________] or its assigns (the “Holder”)
is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after
the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on [●],
[●]10 (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe
for and purchase from InoBat N.V., a public company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) incorporated under the laws
of the Netherlands (the “Company”), up to [______] (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”)
Common Shares, par value [ ] per share, of the Company (the “Common Shares”). The purchase price of one Common Share
under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized
terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule A hereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
10 NTD: five years after Initial Exercise Date.
(a)
Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency that the Company may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), as applicable, of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Not later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver to the Company the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is available and specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
(b)
Exercise Price. The exercise price per Common Share under this Warrant shall be $12.00, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
(c)
Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, (x) the Warrants Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant would be (i) “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 or (ii) the Holder is an Affiliate of the Company and (y) there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing ((A-B) multiplied by (X)) by (A), where:
(A) =
as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day, (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day or (3) executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day), or (ii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
(B) =
the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) =
the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If
Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the
Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary
to this Section 2(c).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).
(d)
Mechanics of Exercise.
(i)
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, (or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry of ownership of the Warrant Shares) registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the later of (i) the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, and (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”); provided, however, in any event, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver Warrant Shares until it has received the aggregate Exercise Price therefor. Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received no later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
(ii)
Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
(iii)
Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date (subject to receipt of the aggregate Exercise Price for the applicable exercise (other than in the case of a cashless exercise)), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise prior to the delivery of the Warrant Shares.
(iv)
No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
(v)
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares pursuant to the terms of this Warrant.
(vi)
Closing of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner intended to prevent the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(e)
Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Holder may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to the provisions contained in this Section 2(e); however, the Holder shall not be subject to this Section 2(e) unless he, she or it makes such election. If the election is made, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of 4.9%, 9.9%, 19.9% (or such other amount as the Holder may specify not to exceed 19.9%) (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder, its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and, of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable up to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall be calculated in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s good faith determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have the right, but no obligation, to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the Company shall have the right, but no obligation, to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed
with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to an amount not to exceed 19.9% applicable to the Holder, provided, however, that any such increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. In the event that an issuance of Common Shares upon a purported exercise results or would result in the Holder, together with its Attribution Parties, being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, such exercise shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3.
Certain Adjustments.
(a)
Share Dividends and Splits. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Share or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant or any cash distributions), (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse share split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of Common Shares any capital shares of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
(b)
VWAP Reset. If on the twenty-first trading day following the date that is six months after the Closing Date, the VWAP (as defined by Bloomberg) of the Common Shares for the twenty trading period commencing on the date that is six months after the Closing Date (the “Measurement Price”) is less than the Exercise Price then in effect, then the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Measurement Price and (ii) $5.00.
(c)
Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Share. If and whenever on or after the Closing Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3(c) is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Shares (including the issuance or sale of Common Shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding Common Shares issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold, by the Company in connection with any Exempt Issuance) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than the Exercise Price then in effect (each such issue, sale or deemed issuance or sale, a “Dilutive Issuance”), where the aggregate amount of consideration received by the Company, together with all prior issuances and sales conducted for the purpose of raising capital by the Company on or after the Closing Date that were excluded from this Section 3(c) by this clause, exceeds $500,000, then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price.
For purposes of determining the adjusted
Exercise Price under this Section 3(c), the following shall be applicable:
(i)
Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Common Share deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:
(1)
the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by
(2)
the maximum number of Common Shares (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii) upon the issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities.
(ii)
Deemed Issuance of Options and Convertible Securities.
(1)
If the Company at any time or from time to time shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of Common Shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.
(2)
If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Share increases or decreases at any time, (other than (x) proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 3(a) above and (y) automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security which are not more favorable to the holder thereof than the anti-dilution and similar provisions set forth herein), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price, which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(c)(ii)(2), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Initial Exercise Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Shares deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(c)(i)(2) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.
(iii)
Calculation of Consideration Received.
(1)
In case one or more Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) each such Option will be deemed to have been issued for the Option Value of such Option and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued or sold for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company less any consideration paid or payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of such other securities of the Company, less (II) the Option Value of each such Options; provided, that, no Common Share shall be deemed to have been issued for less than a fraction of the aggregate consideration received (excluding the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of any such Options, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities) equal to (A) one divided by (B) the total number of Common Shares issued or issuable in the integrated transaction (including the number of shares underlying any Options and Convertible Securities).
(2)
If any Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the closing sale price of such publicly traded securities on the date of receipt. If any Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the holders of a majority in interest of this Warrant and the Other Warrants and then outstanding. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the holders of a majority in interest of this Warrant and the Other Warrants then outstanding. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
(iv)
Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Shares, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the Common Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
(v)
Expiration or Termination of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Securities (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of Section 3(c), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to such Exercise Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Securities (or portion thereof) never been issued.
(d)
Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time after the Initial Exercise Date the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Share Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, any applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding any applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Common Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding any applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation). To the extent that the issue price of such Purchase Rights would result in an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 3(c), such adjustment shall not occur to the extent the Holders were granted the right to acquire such Purchase Rights on the applicable terms.
(e)
Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, any applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding any applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Common Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding any applicable Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
(f)
Fundamental Transaction.
(i)
If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (and all of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a share split, combination or reclassification of Common Shares covered by Section 3(a)), or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares (not including any Common Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such share purchase agreement or other business combination) or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).
(ii)
For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, that if holders of Common Shares of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Shares will be deemed to have received Common Shares or ordinary shares of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five Business Days of the Holder’s election and (ii) the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction.
(iii)
The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(f) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of capital shares of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the Exercise Price hereunder to such capital shares (but taking into account the relative value of the Common Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such capital shares, such number of capital shares and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder.
(g)
Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(h)
Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein).
(i)
Notice to Holder.
(i)
Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(ii)
Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Share, (B) the Company shall declare a redemption of the Common Share, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital shares of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Share, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice delivery requirement hereunder shall also be deemed satisfied by filing or furnishing such communication with the Commission via the EDGAR system; provided, further, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 6-K, unless determined by the Company that such filing would be harmful to the Company at such time, in which case the Company shall file such 6-K as soon as is reasonably practicable in its discretion.

this Warrant is outstanding, the Company modifies, waives or amends any provision of any Other Warrant, or otherwise agrees to grant any
holder of any Other Warrant any term, right, preference or privilege, in each case, that is more favorable to such holder than the corresponding
term, right, preference or privilege applicable to the Holder under this Warrant, then the Company shall promptly, and in any event within
five (5) Business Days, deliver written notice thereof to the Holder, together with a reasonably detailed description of such more
favorable term, right, preference or privilege and a copy of the relevant amendment, waiver, agreement or other documentation, if any.
Upon the Holder’s written election delivered

such more favorable term, right, preference or privilege, mutatis mutandis, effective as of the date such term, right, preference or privilege
became effective with respect to such Other Warrant, without any further action by the Company or the Holder. The Company shall, upon
the Holder’s request, execute and deliver such amendments, confirmations or other instruments as the Holder may reasonably request
to evidence the foregoing.

(c)
Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.

In connection with any transfer of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of the Holder or in connection with a pledge in connection with a bona fide margin account with a registered broker-dealer or other loan with a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or other loan secured by this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, the Company may require the transferor to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act.
(e)
Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5.
Miscellaneous.

(b)
Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant.

(d)
Authorized Shares.
(i)
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth herein and assuming an Exercise Price equal to the lower of (i) $5.00 and (ii) the Exercise Price then in effect). The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
(ii)
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its Articles or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
(iii)
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
(e)
Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City in the Borough of Manhattan. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City in the Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of this Warrant), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, then, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.
(f)
Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(g)
Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(h)
Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email at the e-mail address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto, or to such other address as the Company or the Holder may indicate by a notice delivered to the other from time to time, at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email attachment at the e-mail address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto, or to such other address as the Company or the Holder may indicate by a notice delivered to the other from time to time.
(i)
Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Shares or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(j)
Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(k)
Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
(l)
Amendment. This Warrant may be modified, waived or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
(m)
Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
(n)
Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

one or more Managing Directors. The number of Managing Directors shall be determined by the Board of Supervisory Directors.
14.2 Only natural persons shall be eligible for appointment as a Managing Director.
14.3 The Board of Supervisory Directors will appoint one of the Managing Directors as CEO. The Board of Supervisory
Directors may dismiss the CEO, provided however that the CEO that is dismissed in such a manner may continue to hold office as a Managing
Director, without the title CEO.
14.4 The Managing Directors shall be appointed by the General Meeting.
14.5 The appointment of Managing Directors will occur on the basis of a nomination
by the Board of Supervisory Directors made with due regard to the rules and principles in the Company’s diversity policy
for the composition of the Board of Managing Directors and the Board of Supervisory Directors. The General Meeting may at any time resolve
that such nomination has a non-binding character, which resolution is adopted by a majority of two thirds of the votes cast, which votes
represent more than half of the issued capital of the Company. After a resolution that a nomination is non-binding, the Board of Supervisory
Directors will issue a new nomination, again made with due regard to the rules and principles in the Company’s diversity policy
for the composition of the Board of Managing Directors and the Board of Supervisory Directors. In the event that the nomination comprises
one candidate for a vacancy, such resolution to nominate the single candidate will result in the appointment of such candidate, unless
the nomination is resolved to be non-binding. A second meeting as referred to in Section 120, paragraph 3, Book 2, cannot be convened.
14.6 At a General Meeting, a resolution to appoint a Managing Director can only be passed in respect of candidates
whose names are stated for that purpose in the agenda of that General Meeting or the explanatory notes thereto.
14.7 Managing Directors may be suspended and/or removed from office by the General Meeting at any time. Before
consulting the General Meeting on the intended dismissal, the Managing Director concerned shall be given the opportunity, to account for
his conduct at a General Meeting. For that purpose he may have himself assisted by a legal adviser. A resolution of the General Meeting
to suspend or dismiss a Managing Director requires a majority of at least two thirds of the votes cast representing more than half of
the Company’s issued capital, unless such resolution is adopted at the proposal of the Board of Supervisory Directors. A second
meeting as referred to in Section 120, paragraph 3, Book 2, cannot be convened.
17
14.8 A Managing Director’s suspension shall terminate if within three months after the effective date
of his suspension the General Meeting has not passed a resolution to remove him from office or to lift or to extend his suspension. The
period of extension of a Managing Director’s suspension may not exceed three months from the date on which the resolution to extend
the suspension was passed.

suspension or to remove a Managing Director from office must be passed by a majority of at least two thirds of the votes cast, that majority
to represent more than half of the issued capital.
A proposal to suspend a Managing Director,
or to extend a Managing Director’s suspension or to remove a Managing Director from office cannot be put forward for discussion
at a second General Meeting as defined in Section 120 of Book 2 if the part of the issued capital required by virtue of this Article was
not represented at the preceding General Meeting.
14.10 The Board of Supervisory Directors shall have the power to suspend a Managing Director. If a Managing
Director has been suspended by the Board of Supervisory Directors:
(a) the General Meeting shall have the power to extend or to lift the suspension at any time;

Board of Managing Directors in the form of Common Shares or rights to subscribe for Common Shares to the General Meeting for approval.

of Managing Directors and which criteria apply for such awards or changes thereto.

18
15.2 Each Managing Director shall be answerable to the Company for a proper discharge of his duties of office.
15.3 The Board of Managing Directors shall adopt management board rules with due observance of these Articles
of Association. Such rules may contain variations from the provisions of Article 15.4. These rules may contain provisions
defining which particular duties shall be assigned to each of the Managing Directors. However, such division of duties shall not derogate
from the joint responsibility of all Managing Directors for the whole of the management.
15.4 Meetings of a Board of Managing Directors consisting of several members shall be held as frequently as
any Managing Director may wish. Meetings will be held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, unless the Board of Managing Directors explicitly
determined otherwise. Each Managing Director shall have the power to call a Board Meeting, provided that written notice of such meeting,
stating the subjects to be discussed and voted upon, is given to each of the other Managing Directors. The term of notice shall be at
least three days, not including the date of dispatch of the notice and the date of the meeting. In special cases the term of notice may
be reduced, provided that all Managing Directors in office agree thereto. At any duly convened meeting resolutions may be passed on all
subjects announced in the notice of that meeting, irrespective of the number of Managing Directors present at the meeting in person or
by proxy.
15.5 Each Managing Director may be represented at Board Meetings by another Managing Director of the Company
acting by virtue of a power of attorney issued in writing. The power of attorney may only concern one specifically designated meeting

is not adopted.

or more Managing Directors objects to such manner of holding a meeting.
19
15.10 All resolutions which the Managing Directors can pass at a Board Meeting may also be passed outside a
meeting, whether or not using electronic means of communication, provided all Managing Directors are familiar with the resolution to be
passed and each of them approves this manner of decision-making and that the resolution be passed by the majority of votes required under
these Articles of Association. A resolution thus taken must be recorded in writing by the Managing Directors concerned. Said document
shall be kept at the office of the Company and shall be open to the inspection of any Managing Director.
15.11 In the event that one or several Managing Directors cease to hold office or are unable to act, the other
or remaining Managing Directors or the only other or remaining Managing Director shall be temporarily in charge of the management of the
Company. In the event that all Managing Directors or the sole Managing Director cease(s) to hold office or are unable to act, the
person (to be) designated thereto by the Board of Supervisory Directors, whether or not from its midst, shall be temporarily entrusted
with the management of the Company. Failing such designation by the Board of Supervisory Directors said person shall be designated by
the General Meeting; the General Meeting is completely free in this designation. The provisions of these Articles of Association concerning
the Board of Managing Directors and the Managing Director(s) individually shall apply mutatis mutandis to that person. Furthermore,
that person shall be required to call a General Meeting as soon as possible, which General Meeting may decide on the appointment of one
or several new Managing Directors.

(ii) his dismissal by the General Meeting, other than at the proposal of the Board of Supervisory Directors;
or
(iii) his voluntary resignation before his term of office has expired;
(iv) not being reappointed by the General Meeting, notwithstanding a (binding) nomination to that effect by
the Board of Supervisory Directors,
provided that the Board of Supervisory
Directors may always decide to decrease the number of Managing Directors such that a vacancy no longer exists; or
b. during his suspension; or
20
c. in a period during which the Company has not been able to contact him (including as a result of illness),
provided that such period lasted longer than five consecutive days (or such other period as determined by the Board of Supervisory Directors
on the basis of the facts and circumstances at hand).
15.13 A Managing Director shall not participate in the deliberations and decision-making of the Board of Managing
Directors on a matter in relation to which he has a direct or indirect personal interest which conflicts with the interests of the Company
and of the business connected with it. If, as a result thereof, no resolution can be passed by the Board of Managing Directors, the resolution
shall be passed by the Board of Supervisory Directors.
15.14 The Board of Managing Directors and the Board of Supervisory Directors shall provide to the General Meeting
all such information as it may request, unless doing so would conflict with a material interest of the Company.
16 Representation

been published; provided that (i) the Preference Shares shall not be treated as indebtedness for the purpose of this calculation,

incurrence of the Permitted Bond Financing (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be included in the calculation of aggregate
financial indebtedness for the purpose of any subsequent incurrence).

of Managing Directors, in each Managing Director individually, in the Board of Supervisory Directors and in each Supervisory Director
individually.
24.2 The Board of Managing Directors must call a General Meeting:
(a) if one or several Shareholders jointly representing at least the part of the Company’s share capital
provided by law so request the Board of Managing Directors, that request to specify the subjects to be discussed and voted upon;
27
(b) within three months after the Board of Managing Directors has considered
it plausible that the equity capital of the Company has decreased to an amount equal to or less than one-half of the paid and called up

This obligation shall apply mutatis
mutandis to the Board of Supervisory Directors.
If the General Meeting is not held within

24.4 Persons with the right to attend General Meetings who wish to exercise their rights as described in Articles
24.2 and 24.3 should first consult the Board of Managing Directors. If the intended exercise of such rights might result in a change to
the Company’s strategy, including by dismissing one or more Managing Directors or Supervisory Directors, the Board of Managing Directors
shall be given the opportunity to invoke a reasonable period to respond to such intention. Such period shall not exceed the term stipulated
by Dutch law and/or the Dutch Corporate Governance Code for that purpose. The person(s) with the right to attend General Meetings
concerned should respect the response time stipulated by the Board of Managing Directors. If invoked, the Board of Managing Directors
shall use such response period for further deliberation and constructive consultation, in any event with the person(s) with the right
to attend General Meetings concerned, and shall explore the alternatives. At the end of the response time, the Board of Managing Directors
shall report on this consultation and the exploration of alternatives to the General Meeting. This shall be supervised by the Board of
Supervisory Directors. The response period may be invoked only once for any given General Meeting and shall not apply in the situations
stipulated by Dutch law and/or the Dutch Corporate Governance Code for that purpose.

25.4 The conclusion of the chairperson of the meeting concerned, pronounced by him at the meeting, as to the
result of any vote shall be decisive. This applies also to the content of any resolution passed, to the extent that the vote taken related
to a proposal not recorded in writing. However, if immediately after the pronouncement of such conclusion that conclusion is called into
question, another vote shall be taken if so desired by the majority at the meeting or - if the original vote was not taken on a poll or
by a secret ballot - by any person present who is entitled to vote. Such new vote shall override the legal consequences of the original
vote.
25.5 Unless an official record of the business done at the meeting is drawn up by a notary or unless the chairperson
of the relevant meeting himself wishes to keep the minutes, such chairperson shall designate a person charged with keeping the minutes.
The minutes shall be confirmed by the General Meeting at the same meeting or at a subsequent meeting, in evidence of which the minutes
shall be signed by the chairperson and the Secretary of the meeting at which the minutes were confirmed. If the General Meeting, the Board
of Supervisory Directors or the Board of Managing Directors resolves to instruct a notary to draw up an official record of the proceedings
at a General Meeting, or if one or several Shareholders jointly representing at least one tenth of the issued capital so decide, the Board
of Managing Directors shall instruct a notary to draw up such official record. The cost of the notarial record shall be borne by the Company.
25.6 The Board of Managing Directors shall keep a minute book in which the confirmed minutes of each General
Meeting shall be entered and in which shall further be inserted a copy of each notarial record made of any General Meeting. The minute
book shall be open to the inspection of the Shareholders and to everyone in whom the right to attend General Meetings is vested at the
registered office of the Company. Upon request any Shareholder and anyone in whom the right to attend General Meetings is vested, shall
be issued a copy of or an extract from the minutes of any General Meeting, at a charge not exceeding cost.
25.7 Each Shareholder is entitled to attend the General Meeting in person or by written proxy by means of an
electronic communication system and to address the meeting and exercise the voting right there. Holders of fractional shares which collectively
constitute the par value of a share shall exercise these rights collectively, whether through one of them or through the holder of a written
proxy.
25.8 For the purposes of Article 25.7 above, it is mandatory that the Shareholder may be identified by
means of such electronic communication system, that he may follow the transaction at the meeting directly and exercise the voting right.
30
25.9 The Board of Managing Directors may subject the use of such electronic communication system to certain
conditions which will be announced in the convocation.
25.10 The Board of Managing Directors can also decide that votes cast through electronic means of communication
or by means of a letter prior to the General Meeting are considered to be votes that are cast during the General Meeting. These votes
shall not be cast prior to the Record Date.
25.11 For the purpose of Articles 25.7 up to and including 25.10, those who have voting rights and/or the right
to attend General Meetings on the Record Date and are recorded as such in a register designated by the Board of Managing Directors shall
be considered to have those rights, irrespective of whoever is entitled to the Shares or depository receipts at the time of the General
Meeting. Unless Dutch law requires otherwise, the Board of Managing Directors is free to determine, when convening a General Meeting,
whether the previous sentence applies.
25.12 Each person with the right to attend General Meetings must notify the Company in writing of his identity
and his intention to attend the General Meeting. This notice must be received by the Company ultimately on the seventh day prior to the
General Meeting, unless indicated otherwise when such General Meeting is convened. Persons with the right to attend General Meetings that
have not complied with this requirement may be refused entry to the General Meeting.
26 Voting rights. Decision-making
26.1 Each Share carries the right to cast one vote.
26.2 At the General Meeting no votes can be cast for Shares which are held by the Company or Subsidiaries,
nor for depository receipts issued for Shares which are held by the Company or Subsidiaries. Usufructuaries and pledgees of Shares which
belong to the Company or Subsidiaries shall not, however, be excluded from the right to vote if the usufruct or pledge was created before
the Shares concerned came to be held by the Company or a Subsidiary. The Company or a Subsidiary cannot cast votes for Shares in respect
of which the Company or the Subsidiary possesses a pledge or usufruct.
26.3 For the purpose of determining to which extent Shareholders cast votes, are present or are represented,
or to which extent the share capital is represented, the Shares in respect of which no votes can be cast shall not be taken into account.
26.4 Unless the law or these Articles of Association stipulate a larger majority,
all resolutions of the General Meeting shall be passed by an absolute majority of the votes cast. Subject to any provision of mandatory
Dutch law and any higher quorum requirement stipulated by these articles of association, if and for as long as the Company is subject
under applicable securities law or applicable exchange rules to the requirement that the General Meeting can only pass certain resolutions
if a certain part of the Company's issued capital is represented at such General Meeting, then such quorum as determined under such securities
law or such exchange rules shall apply to such resolutions and a second meeting as referred to in Section 120, paragraph 3,
Book 2 cannot be convened.
31
26.5 Blank votes, invalid votes and abstentions shall not be counted as votes cast.
26.6 Votes on business matters - including proposals for suspension, dismissal or removal of persons - shall
be taken by voice, but votes on the election of persons shall be taken by secret ballot, unless the chairperson decides a different method
of voting and none of the persons present at the meeting object to such different method of voting.
26.7 If at the election of persons the voting for and against the proposal is equally divided, another vote
shall be taken at the same meeting; if again the votes are equally divided, then - without prejudice to the provision in the next following
sentence of this Article 27.7 - a drawing of lots shall decide. If at an election of persons the vote is taken between more than
two candidates and none of the candidates receive the absolute majority of votes, another vote - where necessary after an interim vote
and/or a drawing of lots - shall be taken between the two candidates who have received the largest number of votes in their favour.
If the voting for and against any other
proposal than as first referred to in this Article 27.7 is equally divided, that proposal shall be rejected.
26.8 If pursuant to the Articles of Association the validity of a resolution depends also upon the part of
the issued capital represented at the meeting and if such quorum is not present at the meeting, then - unless elsewhere in these Articles
of Association the contrary is provided with respect to any subject specifically mentioned there - a second meeting may be called and
held at which such resolution may be passed irrespective of the part of the issued capital represented at that meeting.
The notice calling the second meeting
must state that and pursuant to which provision a resolution may be passed at that meeting irrespective of the part of the issued capital
represented at that meeting.
Notice calling the second meeting shall
not be given until after the end of the first meeting. The second meeting must be held within six weeks after the first meeting.
27 Decision-making outside a Meeting
27.1 Unless the Company has cooperated with the issuance of depositary receipts for Shares in its capital,
any resolution which Shareholders entitled to vote can pass at a General Meeting may also be passed by them outside a meeting, provided
that anyone having the right to attend General Meetings approve this manner of decision making. The approval to the manner of decision
making and the votes may be submitted by electronic means of communication. The members of the Board of Managing Directors and the Board
of Supervisory Directors will be allowed to give their advice prior to the decision making.
32
27.2 In case of decision making outside a meeting, the votes are cast in writing. The written form requirement
will be met provided the resolution is recorded in writing or in electronic form getting out the manner each Shareholder votes and provided
such resolution is undersigned by each person having the right to attend General Meetings.

class meeting of Series A Preference Shares and the Series B Preference Shares, voting (each) as a single class:
(a) the issuance of Shares or granting of rights to subscribe for Shares, to the extent that the securities
to be issued constitute or would rank senior to or pari passu with the Preference Shares as to dividend rights or liquidation preference,

affects the powers, preferences or rights attached to the Preference Shares;

upon cessation of their employment or services pursuant to an equity incentive plan of the Company.
28.3 A resolution of the General Meeting referred to in this Article 28.2 that is passed without the prior
consent of the Required Holders shall be null and void (nietig). The Board of Managing Directors shall ensure that notice of any
General Meeting at which any such resolution is proposed to be passed is given to the holders of Preference Shares in accordance with
Article 24.3, and shall include in such notice confirmation of whether the prior consent of the Required Holders has been obtained
or is being sought concurrently.
28.4 A matter which pursuant to articles 24.2 and/or 24.3 has been included in the convening notice or announced
in the same manner by or at the request of one or more Shareholders or anyone having the right to attend General Meetings shall not be
considered to have been proposed by the Board of Managing Directors for purposes of article 28.1, unless the Board of Managing Directors
has expressly indicated that it supports the discussion of such matter in the agenda of the General Meeting concerned or in the explanatory
notes thereto.
29 Class Meetings
29.1 The provisions of this Article 29 apply to every class of Shares issued and outstanding in the capital
of the Company, including the Common Shares, the Series A Preference Shares, the Series B Preference Shares and to any class
of Shares that may in the future be issued in the capital of the Company.
29.2 The Board of Managing Directors, as well as one or more holders of Shares of a particular class who jointly
represent at least one-tenth of the capital issued and outstanding in the form of that class, are each authorised to convene a class meeting
of holders of that class. The notice period shall be at least seven clear days before the day of the meeting.

the total issued capital of that class are present or represented. If a quorum is not present, a second meeting shall be convened at which
no quorum requirement applies. Unless these Articles of Association or mandatory law require a larger majority, resolutions of a class
meeting shall require an absolute majority of the votes cast. Where a resolution of a class meeting is required as a condition for a resolution
of the General Meeting that itself requires a two-thirds majority, the same two-thirds majority shall apply at the class meeting.
29.5 The approval of a class meeting required under these Articles shall not be required if all Shareholders
of the relevant class have given their prior written consent to the matter set forth for approval at such class meeting.
29.6 Without prejudice to the foregoing, the provisions of Articles 24 through 27 of these Articles of Association
shall apply mutatis mutandis to class meetings.
30 Financial Year. Annual Accounts
30.1 The financial year of the Company shall be the calendar year.
30.2 Each year within five months after the end of the Company's financial year, save where this term is extended
by a maximum of five months by the General Meeting on account of special circumstances, the Board of Managing Directors shall draw up
Annual Accounts and a management report on that financial year. To these documents shall be added the particulars referred to in Section 392
paragraph 1 of Book 2. The Annual Accounts shall be signed by each of the Managing Directors and each of the Supervisory Directors. If
the signature of any of the Managing Directors and/or any Supervisory Directors is missing, this and the reason for such absence shall
be stated.
30.3 The Company shall ensure that the Annual Accounts and the management report and the particulars added
by virtue of Section 392 Book 2 shall be available at the registered office of the Company as soon as possible but not later than
as from the date of notice calling the General Meeting intended for the discussion and approval thereof. Shareholders or other persons
with the right to attend General Meetings may inspect said documents at the business office of the Company and obtain copies thereof free
of charge.
31 Auditor
31.1 The General Meeting shall give a certified public accountant or other expert within the meaning of Section 393
of Book 2 - both referred to herein as the "Expert" - or, as the case may be, an organisation in which such Experts work
together, instruction to audit the Annual Accounts. If the General Meeting fails to give such instruction the Board of Supervisory Directors
or - if it fails to give such instruction - the Board of Managing Directors shall be authorised and required to do so. The General Meeting
may at any time revoke the instruction as first referred to in this Article 30.1 and give it to another Expert.
35
31.2 The Expert shall report on his audit to the Board of Managing Directors and to the Board of Supervisory
Directors and shall set out the result of his audit in a certificate.
31.3 In cases in which the law so permits, the instruction referred to in Article 30.1 may be dispensed
with or the instruction may be given to another person than the Expert referred to therein.
32 Annual Meeting. Adoption of Annual Accounts
32.1 Each year at least one General Meeting shall be held, that meeting to be held within six months after
the end of the Company's last expired financial year; this General Meeting is referred to hereinafter as the Annual Meeting. The
agenda of the Annual Meeting shall contain at least the following subjects:
(a) if an annual report on the past financial year is required: discussion of the annual report;
(b) adoption of the Annual Accounts of the past financial year;
(c) allocation of the profits realized in the past financial year, or determination of the manner whereby
any loss sustained in that financial year is to be cleared.
32.2 The subjects listed in Article 32.1 need not be stated in the agenda of the Annual Meeting if the
term for preparing the Annual Accounts has been extended or if a proposal to extend said term is on the agenda.
32.3 The Annual Accounts shall be adopted by the General Meeting. Said adoption shall not constitute a release
from liability of the Managing Directors and the Supervisory Directors.
32.4 If an auditor's certificate on the Annual Accounts is required and if the General Meeting has not had
the opportunity of inspecting that certificate, the Annual Accounts cannot be adopted unless the other, added particulars include a statement
giving a lawful reason for the absence of the certificate.
32.5 If the Annual Accounts are adopted after they have been amended, copies of the amended Annual Accounts
may be obtained by the Shareholders and everyone in whom the right to attend General Meetings is vested free of charge.
36
33 DISTRIBUTIONS - GENERAL
33.1 A distribution can only be made to the extent that the Company’s equity exceeds the amount of the
paid up and called up part of its capital plus the reserves which must be maintained by law.
33.2 The Board of Managing Directors may resolve to make interim distributions, provided that it appears from
interim accounts to be prepared in accordance with Section 105 paragraph 4 Book 2 that the requirement referred to in Article 33.1
has been met.
33.3 The parties entitled to a distribution shall be the relevant Shareholders, usufructuaries and pledgees,
as the case may be, at a date to be determined by the Board of Managing Directors for that purpose. This date shall not be earlier than
the date on which the distribution was announced.
33.4 The General Meeting may resolve, subject to Article 28, that all or part of a distribution, instead
of being made in cash, shall be made in the form of Shares or in the form of the Company’s assets.
33.5 A distribution shall be payable on such date and, if it concerns a distribution in cash, in such currency
or currencies as determined by the Board of Managing Directors. If it concerns a distribution in the form of the Company’s assets,
the Board of Managing Directors shall determine the value attributed to such distribution for purposes of recording the distribution in
the Company’s accounts with due observance of applicable law (including the applicable accounting principles).
33.6 A claim for payment of a distribution shall lapse after five years have expired after the distribution
became payable.
33.7 For the purpose of calculating the amount or allocation of any distribution, Shares held by the Company
in its own capital shall not be taken into account. No distribution shall be made to the Company in respect of Shares held by the Company
in its own capital.
34 Ranking and Distributions. Profits, Reserves and Priority
34.1 The Preference Shares shall rank senior to all Junior Securities and, except as set forth in Article 34.2
and 39.6, the Class A Preference Shares and the Class B Preference Shares shall rank pari passu to each other, in each case
as to:
(a) the right to receive dividends and other distributions of profits or reserves; and
(b) the right to participate in distributions of cash or assets upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary.
37
34.2 Subject to Article 33.1, the freely distributable reserves shown in the Company's annual accounts
in respect of a financial year shall be appropriated as follows, and in the following order of priority:
(a) First: out of the freely distributable reserves, a dividend shall first be paid on the Series A Preference
Shares at the Annual Rate on the Accrued Value of each Series A Preference Share (the Preference Dividend), to the extent
the Company is permitted to make such payment pursuant to Article 33.1.
Dividends on each Series A Preference
Share shall be cumulative and shall accrue daily from and after the Issue Date, compounding on a semi-annual basis on each Dividend Compounding
Date, whether or not earned or declared. Each Preference Dividend so accrued (an Accrued Dividend) shall be paid, at the election
of the Board of Managing Directors, either:
(i) in cash (a Cash Dividend); or
(ii) in kind, by increasing the Accrued Value of such Series A Preference
Share by the amount of such accrued dividend (a PIK Dividend).
For the avoidance of doubt, the cumulative
nature of the Preference Dividend means that Accrued Dividends shall accumulate and be carried forward regardless of whether they have
been earned or declared, subject at all times to Article 33.1. A PIK Dividend that solely increases the Accrued Value is not a distribution
for the purposes of Section 105 of Book 2 at the time of accrual; the distribution test of Article 33.1 applies only upon any
subsequent Cash Dividend payment or redemption giving effect to that increased Accrued Value.
(b) Second: the Company shall not declare, pay or set aside any dividend or distribution on Preference Shares
(other than the Series A Preference Shares), Common Shares or any other Junior Securities (other than dividends on Common Shares
payable solely in Common Shares) unless the holders of all outstanding Series A Preference Shares shall first receive, or simultaneously
receive, an amount per Series A Preference Share at least equal to the sum of: (i) all Accrued Dividends then outstanding and
not previously paid; and (ii) in the case of a dividend on Common Shares, the dividend per Series A Preference Share that would
be payable on an as-converted basis in accordance with Article 34.2(d) below.
(c) Third: if in any financial year the Company's distributable profits or distributable reserves are insufficient
to pay the Preference Dividend in full, or if Article 33.1 prevents full payment, the unpaid amount shall be carried forward cumulatively.
In each subsequent financial year, until the holders of Series A Preference Shares have received in full all arrears of the Preference
Dividend together with the Preference Dividend accrued for the then-current financial year: (i) no distribution shall be made on
any Junior Securities; and (ii) no amounts shall be added to free reserves beyond what is required by law.
38
(d) Fourth: subject to Articles 35 (Conversion) and 34.2(b), holders of Preference Shares shall be entitled
to receive, on an as-converted basis, any dividend paid on Common Shares (other than Accrued Dividends), in the same form and at the same
time as such dividend is paid on the Common Shares. The number of Common Shares into which each Preference Share is deemed converted for
this purpose shall be calculated by dividing the Accrued Value of such Preference Share by the Conversion Price then in effect.
(e) Fifth: the Board of Managing Directors shall determine what part of the remaining profits, after application
of sub-paragraphs (a) through (d) above, shall be added to the Company's reserves.
(f) Sixth: subject to Article 28.1(e), the profits remaining after sub-paragraphs (a) through (e) above
shall be at the disposal of the General Meeting for distribution on the Common Shares.
34.3 Subject to Article 33.1, a distribution of profits shall be made after the adoption of the Annual
Accounts that show that such distribution is permitted.
34.4 The Board of Managing Directors may resolve to make interim distributions, provided that:
(a) interim accounts prepared in accordance with Section 105 paragraph 4 of Book 2 demonstrate that the
requirement of Article 33.1 has been satisfied; and
(b) all Accrued Dividends on the Series A Preference Shares in respect of the then-current financial
year (calculated on a time-proportionate basis to the proposed distribution date) have been paid in full or, in the case of a PIK Dividend
election, credited in full to the Accrued Value of each Series A Preference Share.
34.5 Subject to Article 33.1, the General Meeting is authorised to resolve to make a distribution from
the Company's reserves, provided that no distribution may be made to the debit of the Share Premium Reserve of a class of Preference Shares
(and the Share Premium Reserve of the relevant class of Preference Shares may not be used, released, converted or otherwise applied in
a manner adverse to the holders of such Preference Shares) without the prior approval of the relevant class meeting of Shareholders who
are entitled to the Share Premium Reserve concerned.
39
34.6 The Board of Managing Directors may resolve to charge amounts to be paid up on Shares against the Company's
reserves, irrespective of whether those Shares are issued to existing Shareholders, provided that no such charge may be made to the debit
of the Share Premium Reserve of a class of Preference Shares (and the Share Premium Reserve of the relevant class of Preference Shares
may not be used, released, converted or otherwise applied in a manner adverse to the holders of such Preference Shares) without the prior
approval of the relevant class meeting of Shareholders who are entitled to the Share Premium Reserve concerned.
35 Conversion of Preference Shares
35.1 Each Preference Share shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Issue
Date, at the option of the holder thereof, into that number of whole Common Shares determined by dividing the Accrued Value of such Preference
Share by the Conversion Price then in effect.
35.2 The initial Conversion Price shall be twelve United States Dollars (USD 12.00) per Common Share,
subject to adjustment in accordance with Article 35.5.
35.3 Mechanics of Conversion:
(a) A holder wishing to convert Preference Shares shall deliver a written conversion notice to the Company
specifying the number of Preference Shares to be converted and the intended date of conversion.
(b) Not later than the number of settlement days comprising the standard settlement period on the principal
stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed as of the date of delivery of the conversion notice, the Company shall deliver to
the converting holder the number of Common Shares resulting from such conversion, which shall be free of transfer restrictions following
the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the Issue Date and (ii) the effective date of any applicable registration or admission
to trading.
(c) No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of Preference Shares. As to any fraction of a share
to which a holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole Common Share.
(d) Preference Shares converted into Common Shares shall be cancelled and shall not be reissued. All rights
with respect to converted Preference Shares shall terminate upon conversion, save for the right to receive Common Shares.
40
35.4 The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorised
Common Shares, for the sole purpose of conversion of Preference Shares, not less than such number of Common Shares as shall be required
for the conversion of all then-outstanding Preference Shares, assuming a Conversion Price equal to the Floor Price. In case of a shortage
of authorised Common Shares for the purpose as described before, the Board of Managing Directors will call a General Meeting so that within
a term of seventy-five (75) calendar days a resolution can be passed to amend the Articles to increase the authorised capital of the Company.
In case the term ends a calendar day which is not a Business Day, the term is extended to the next Business Day.
35.5 Adjustments to Conversion Price:
(a) If the Company at any time while Preference Shares are outstanding (i) pays a share dividend or makes
a distribution payable in Common Shares, (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines
outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues shares by way of reclassification, then the Conversion
Price and the Floor Price shall each be adjusted by multiplying them by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of Common Shares
issued and outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator is the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately
after such event.
(b) If, on the twenty-first trading day following the date that is six months after the Issue Date, the VWAP
of the Common Shares (the Measurement Price) is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, the Conversion Price shall be reduced
to an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Measurement Price and (ii) the Floor Price.
(c) If and whenever on or after the Issue Date, until no Preference Shares remain outstanding, the Company
issues or sells Common Shares (excluding Exempt Issuances) for a consideration per share (the New Issuance Price) less than the
Conversion Price then in effect, and the aggregate consideration received by the Company in connection with all such issuances for the
purpose of raising capital on or after the Issue Date exceeds five hundred thousand United States Dollars (USD 500,000.00) (a Dilutive
Issuance), then immediately after such issuance the Conversion Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price.
For the purposes of this Article 35.5(c):
(i) Options and Convertible Securities
41
The consideration per Common Share
received or receivable by the Company in respect of Common Shares issued or deemed issued pursuant to an Option or Convertible Security
shall be determined by dividing:
(A) the
aggregate amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance of the relevant Options or Convertible Securities,
plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon:
(1) exercise
of the Options;
(2) conversion
or exchange of the Convertible Securities; or
(3) in
the case of Options to acquire Convertible Securities, exercise of the Options and subsequent conversion or exchange of the Convertible
Securities,
in each case without giving effect
to any provision providing for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration; by
(B) the
maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange, determined without giving effect to any provision providing
for a subsequent adjustment of that number.
(ii) Deemed issuance of Options and Convertible Securities
(A) If
the Company issues an Option or Convertible Security, the maximum number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange
thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time the Option or Convertible Security is issued. Where the Company fixes a record
date for determining the persons entitled to receive an Option or Convertible Security, the deemed issuance shall occur at the close of
business on that record date. The number of Common Shares deemed issued shall be determined assuming satisfaction of any conditions to
exercise, conversion or exchange, but without giving effect to any provision providing for a subsequent adjustment of that number.
(B) If
at any time:
(1) the purchase
or exercise price under an Option;
(2) the additional
consideration payable upon issuance, conversion, exercise or exchange of a Convertible Security; or
42
(3) the rate at which a
Convertible Security is convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares, is increased or decreased, the Conversion
Price shall be recalculated to the Conversion Price that would have been in effect had the amended terms applied when the Option or
Convertible Security was initially issued.
(C) Paragraph
(B) shall not apply to:
(1) proportionate adjustments
resulting from an event described in Article 35.5(a); or
(2) automatic
anti-dilution adjustments that are no more favourable to the holder of the relevant Option or Convertible Security than the adjustments
provided for in this Article 35.5.
(D) If the terms of an Option or
Convertible Security outstanding on the Issue Date are subsequently amended in a manner described in paragraph (B), that Option or Convertible
Security and the Common Shares issuable upon its exercise, conversion or exchange shall be deemed issued on the date of the amendment.
(E) No adjustment under this Article 35.5(c)(ii) shall
increase the Conversion Price.
(iii) Calculation of consideration
(A) Where
one or more Options are issued together with other securities as part of a single integrated transaction:
(1) each
Option shall be deemed issued for its Option Value; and
(2) the other securities shall
be deemed issued for the aggregate consideration received or receivable by the Company in the integrated transaction, less:
(a) any consideration
paid or payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of those other securities; and
(b) the aggregate
Option Value of the Options issued in the transaction.
(B) If Common Shares, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold for cash, the consideration shall be the net cash proceeds received or receivable by the Company.
(C) If Common Shares, Options or
Convertible Securities are issued or sold for consideration other than cash:
(1) publicly traded securities
shall be valued at their VWAP on the date on which they are received or become receivable by the Company; and
(2) all other
consideration shall be valued at its fair market value.
43
(D) If Common Shares, Options
or Convertible Securities are issued to the shareholders or other equity holders of a non-surviving or acquired entity in connection
with a merger, acquisition, legal merger, demerger or similar transaction, the consideration shall be the fair market value of the portion
of the net assets and business acquired by the Company that is reasonably attributable to the relevant Common Shares, Options or Convertible
Securities.
(E) The fair market value of any
consideration referred to in paragraph (C)(2) or (D) shall be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If
they do not agree within ten (10) Business Days after the event requiring valuation, the fair market value shall be determined by
an independent, reputable appraiser jointly appointed by the Company and the Required Holders. If they fail to agree on an appraiser within
a further five (5) Business Days, the appraiser shall, at the request of either party, be appointed by the president of the Royal
Netherlands Institute of Chartered Accountants or its successor organisation.
The appraiser shall act as an expert
and not as an arbitrator. Its determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding, and its reasonable fees and expenses shall
be borne by the Company.
(iv) No duplication: No issuance or deemed issuance shall result in more than one adjustment of the Conversion
Price. Upon the expiry, cancellation or termination of an Option or Convertible Security without all underlying Common Shares having been
issued, the Conversion Price shall not be increased unless and only to the extent expressly approved by the Required Holders through a
class meeting of Class A Preference Shares and the Class B Preference Shares, voting (each) as a single class.
(d) If the Company effects any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, compulsory
share exchange or similar transaction pursuant to which Common Shares are converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property
(each a Fundamental Transaction), then upon any subsequent conversion of Preference Shares, the holder shall have the right to
receive, for each Common Share that would have been issuable upon conversion immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the same
consideration receivable by a holder of Common Shares as a result of such Fundamental Transaction (the Alternate Consideration).
44
35.6 Subject only to mandatory applicable law and the receipt of a valid conversion notice in accordance with
Article 35.3(a), the Company’s obligation to issue and deliver Common Shares upon conversion of Preference Shares shall be
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:
(a) any act or omission of the relevant holder in enforcing its rights;
(b) any waiver or consent relating to these Articles of Association or any agreement between the Company and
that holder;
(c) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defence or other claim that the Company or any Group Company may
have against that holder or any of its Affiliates;
(d) any actual or alleged breach by that holder or any other person of an obligation owed to the Company or
any Group Company; or
(e) any actual or alleged violation of law by that holder or any person associated or affiliated with it.
The delivery of Common Shares shall
not constitute a waiver of any claim that the Company may have against the relevant holder.
35.7 The Company may not refuse or delay a conversion on the basis of a claim described in Article 35.6,
unless:
(a) a competent court has issued an immediately enforceable injunction or order restraining or prohibiting
the relevant conversion, following notice to the relevant holder and an opportunity for that holder to be heard; and
(b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company has provided security, in a form reasonably satisfactory
to the relevant holder, in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Accrued Value of the Preference Shares subject to
the injunction or order.
Such security shall remain in place
until the underlying dispute has been finally resolved and shall be available to satisfy any final judgment or award in favour of the
holder.
35.8 In the absence of an injunction or order satisfying Article 35.7, the Company shall issue and deliver
the applicable Common Shares and any cash payable in respect of fractional Common Shares following receipt of a valid conversion notice.
45
35.9 If the Company fails to deliver the Common Shares resulting from a conversion by the tenth (10th) Trading
Day after the applicable Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the relevant holder, in cash, as a contractual penalty and without
prejudice to Article 35.10, for each five thousand United States Dollars (USD 5,000.00) of Accrued Value being converted:
(a) twenty-five United States Dollars (USD 25.00) for each Trading Day commencing on the eleventh (11th) Trading
Day after the Share Delivery Date;
(b) fifty United States Dollars (USD 50.00) for each Trading Day commencing on the third (3rd) Trading Day
after the payments under paragraph (a) begin to accrue; and
(c) one hundred United States Dollars (USD 100.00) for each Trading Day commencing on the sixth (6th) Trading
Day after the payments under paragraph (a) begin to accrue,
in each case until the Common Shares
have been delivered or the holder has withdrawn or rescinded the relevant conversion notice.
The payments provided for in this Article 35.9
shall not constitute the holder’s exclusive remedy. Subject to applicable law, the holder may seek specific performance, injunctive
relief and compensation for losses exceeding the amounts paid under paragraphs (a) through (c) above, provided that there shall
be no double recovery in respect of the same loss.
35.10 Notice of specified corporate actions
(a) If the Company proposes to:
(i) declare or make a dividend or other distribution, in cash, Shares or other assets, on the Common Shares;
(ii) acquire, redeem or cancel Common Shares, other than an acquisition in the ordinary course pursuant to
an employee share plan;
(iii) grant to all or substantially all holders of Common Shares any rights, Options or warrants to subscribe
for or acquire Shares or other securities;
(iv) effect or submit for approval any reclassification of the Common Shares, legal merger, demerger, consolidation,
compulsory share exchange, Fundamental Transaction or sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or

bankruptcy or suspension of payments of the Company,
46
the Company shall give written notice
to each holder of Preference Shares at the address, including any electronic address, recorded for that holder in the Shareholders Register.
(b) The notice shall be given at least twenty (20) calendar days before the applicable record date, effective
date or expected completion date and shall state, as applicable:

(ii) if no record date is to be fixed, the date as of which the holders entitled to the relevant dividend,
distribution, acquisition, redemption, rights, Options or warrants are to be determined;
(iii) the expected effective or completion date of the relevant reclassification, merger, demerger, consolidation,
share exchange, Fundamental Transaction, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up;
(iv) the date as of which holders of Common Shares are expected to become entitled to receive or exchange their
Common Shares for securities, cash or other property;
(v) a reasonably detailed description of the material terms of the proposed action and the consideration payable
or distributable in connection with it; and
(vi) the manner in which the proposed action is expected to affect the rights of the holders of Preference
Shares, including their conversion rights and any proposed adjustment to the Conversion Price.
(c) Failure to give a notice under this Article 35.10, or any defect in such notice, shall not of itself
invalidate the relevant corporate action, but shall not prejudice:
(i) any conversion right of a holder of Preference Shares;
(ii) any claim arising from the Company’s failure to comply with this Article 35.10; or
(iii) any right of the holders of Preference Shares under Articles 28, 35, 37 or 39.
(d) Each holder of Preference Shares shall remain entitled to convert all or any portion of its Preference
Shares during the period commencing on the date of the notice and ending on the effective or completion date of the relevant action, unless
conversion is prohibited by mandatory applicable law or by an immediately enforceable order of a competent court.
47
(e) To the extent the notice contains inside information or other non-public price-sensitive information,
its delivery and any public disclosure shall be made in compliance with applicable securities laws and the rules of the relevant
Trading Market. The Company shall not withhold or delay the notice solely because it contains such information, except to the extent a
delay is permitted by applicable law, in which case the notice shall be delivered as soon as the lawful basis for delay ceases to apply.
36 [Reserved].

37.5 Upon redemption of any Preference Shares, all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately terminate,

38 Amendment of the Articles of Association. Merger. Division
38.1 Notwithstanding Article 26.1 and 28.1, a resolution to amend the Articles of Association or a resolution
for a merger or division in the terms of Part 7 of Book 2 may be passed by the General Meeting only by a majority of at least two
thirds of the votes cast; that majority must represent more than half of the issued capital; provided, that no amendment of these Articles
may adversely affect the rights of the holders of a class of Preference Shares without the prior approval of a class meeting of such Preference
Shares.
38.2 If a proposal to amend the Articles of Association is to be made to the General Meeting, this must be
stated in the notice calling the General Meeting. The persons giving such notice must at the same time deposit a copy of that proposal,
containing the verbatim text of the proposed amendment, at the business office of the Company for inspection by the Shareholders and everyone
in whom the right to attend General Meetings is vested. Failing this no resolution can be validly passed on the proposal unless the requirements
set out in Article 24.5 have been fulfilled.
49
38.3 From the day of deposit of the proposal to amend the Articles of Association and until the end of the
General Meeting at which that proposal will be discussed and voted upon, the Shareholders and everyone in whom the right to attend General
Meetings is vested, must be given the opportunity to obtain copies of that proposal. The copies shall be issued free of charge.
39 Dissolution and Winding up
39.1 The General Meeting has the power to resolve to dissolve the Company, provided with due observance of
the requirements set out in Articles 28.1(j) and 28.2(c).
39.2 In the event of its voluntary dissolution the Company shall continue in existence for such period of time
as the liquidation of its assets and liabilities may require.
39.3 In any document issued and notice served by the Company in the course of its winding up the words: "in
liquidation" must be added to its name.
39.4 Unless otherwise resolved by the General Meeting or unless otherwise provided by law, the Managing Directors
of the Company shall be the liquidators of the Company under the supervision of the Supervisory Directors.
39.5 The reports and statements relating to the dissolution and the winding up
as required by law shall be filed by the liquidators at the Trade Register of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce.
39.6 The surplus assets remaining after all the Company's liabilities have been satisfied shall be distributed
as follows:
(a) First: to the holders of Preference Shares, an amount per Preference Share equal to the greater of:
(i) one hundred per cent (100%) of the Accrued Value of such Preference Share (including all Accrued Dividends,
as applicable); or
(ii) such amount per Preference Share as would have been payable had all Preference Shares been converted into
Common Shares pursuant to Article 35 immediately prior to the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, calculated at the Conversion
Price then in effect;
together
with the balance, if any, of the Share Premium Reserve allocated to the Preference Shares. If the available assets are insufficient
to pay the full amount under (i) or (ii) (as applicable), the holders of Preference Shares shall share pro rata in the available
assets in proportion to their respective entitlements.
50
(b) Second: to the holders of Common Shares the paid-up par value of their Common Shares together with the
balance, if any, of the Share Premium Reserve allocated to the Common Shares;
(c) Third: following full satisfaction of the liquidation preference under (a) and (b) above, any
remaining surplus shall be distributed to the holders of Preference Shares and holders of Common Shares pro rata, treating all Preference
Shares as converted into Common Shares at the Conversion Price then in effect.
Each distribution referred to in this
Article 39.6 shall be made in proportion to the amount of paid-up par value of the relevant Shares held by each Shareholder.
39.7 After completion of the winding up, during the safe-keeping period prescribed by law the books, records
and other data carriers of the dissolved Company shall remain in the custody of the person whom the liquidators have appointed for that
purpose in writing.
39.8 Deemed Liquidation Events
(a) If a Deemed Liquidation Event occurs and the Company has not been dissolved within ninety (90) days after
its completion, the Company shall, no later than the ninetieth (90th) day following completion of that Deemed Liquidation Event, give
written notice to each holder of Preference Shares:
(i) describing the material terms of the Deemed Liquidation Event and the consideration received or receivable
in connection with it;
(ii) setting out the Company’s good-faith calculation of the Available Proceeds and the Preference Share
Liquidation Amount; and
(iii) advising the holders of Preference Shares of their rights under this Article 39.8 and the procedure
and time limits for exercising those rights.
(b) If the Required Holders so request by written notice delivered to the Company no later than one hundred
twenty (120) days after completion of the Deemed Liquidation Event, the Company shall, on the one hundred fiftieth (150th) day after completion
of the Deemed Liquidation Event, apply the Available Proceeds to acquire or redeem all outstanding Preference Shares at a price per Preference
Share equal to the Preference Share Liquidation Amount.
51
(c) Any acquisition or redemption pursuant to this Article 39.8 shall be effected only to the extent
permitted by Articles 10 and 33.1 and applicable law. To the extent that the Available Proceeds or the amount lawfully available are insufficient
to acquire or redeem all outstanding Preference Shares in full:
(i) the Company shall acquire or redeem the maximum number or portion of Preference Shares that it may lawfully
acquire or redeem;
(ii) the amount applied shall be allocated among the holders of Preference Shares pro rata in proportion to
the respective Preference Share Liquidation Amounts that would have been payable to them if all Preference Shares had been acquired or
redeemed in full; and
(iii) the Company shall acquire or redeem the remaining Preference Shares, or unpaid portions thereof, as soon
as and to the maximum extent that it may lawfully do so.
(d) Until the obligations under this Article 39.8 have been satisfied in full, the Company shall not,
and shall procure that its Subsidiaries do not, expend, transfer or otherwise dissipate any consideration received in connection with
the Deemed Liquidation Event, except:
(i) to discharge liabilities, taxes, costs, fees and expenses taken into account in determining the Available
Proceeds;
(ii) in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and as reasonably necessary to preserve
the value of the Company and its Subsidiaries; or
(iii) with the prior consent of the Required Holders through a class meeting of Class A Preference Shares
and the Class B Preference Shares, voting (each) as a single class.
(e) Preference Shares acquired or redeemed pursuant to this Article 39.8 shall constitute Cancellable
Preference Shares and shall be cancelled in accordance with Article 11. Article 37.6 shall apply mutatis mutandis.
39.9 Valuation of non-cash consideration
(a) If any part of the Available Proceeds consists of property other than cash, the value of that property
shall be its fair market value as at the date on which it was received or became receivable by the Company or the relevant Group Company.
(b) The fair market value shall be determined as follows:
(i) securities listed or quoted on a Trading Market and not subject to restrictions on transfer or marketability
shall be valued at their VWAP as at the relevant valuation date;
(ii) securities subject to investment letters, lock-ups or other restrictions on free marketability, other
than restrictions arising solely from a holder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate, shall be valued at the value determined
under paragraph (i), less an appropriate discount reflecting those restrictions; and
52
(iii) all other property shall be valued by the Board of Managing Directors acting reasonably and in good faith.
(c) If the Required Holders object in writing to a valuation under paragraph (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) within
ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice of it, the fair market value shall be determined by an independent, reputable appraiser
jointly appointed by the Company and the Required Holders. If they fail to agree on an appraiser within five (5) Business Days, the
appraiser shall, at the request of either party, be appointed by the president of the Royal Netherlands Institute of Chartered Accountants
or its successor organisation.
(d) The appraiser shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. Its determination shall, absent manifest
error, be final and binding. The Company shall bear the appraiser’s reasonable fees and expenses.
39.10 If the Company is dissolved following a Deemed Liquidation Event, Articles 39.1 through 39.6 shall apply,
provided that any amount previously paid to a holder of Preference Shares pursuant to Article 39.8 shall be credited against the
amount otherwise payable to that holder pursuant to Article 39.6, so that no holder receives more than the aggregate amount to which
it is entitled under those Articles.
40 Federal forum provision
40.1 Except as otherwise consented into writing by the Company, the sole and exclusive forum of any complaint
asserting a cause of action arising under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, shall be the federal district courts of the United States of America.

Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
InoBat
and Cartesian Growth Corporation II
Announce
Business Combination Agreement
to
Accelerate Expansion of Battery Energy Storage Systems
· InoBat has contracted or delivered 875 MWh of utility-scale battery energy storage systems (“BESS”)
across Europe
· InoBat is positioning its platform to support the rapidly growing power demand from AI infrastructure
and hyperscale data centers
· Business combination connects leading European manufacturer with Nasdaq and US institutional capital
· Combination provides $77.5 million in a committed PIPE and has no further cash conditions
· Combination values InoBat at $1.265 billion (~€1.1 billion) on a pre-money, pre-merger basis,
including strategic- and EBITDA-based earnouts
27 July 2026 — InoBat AS (“InoBat”),
a leading European battery energy storage systems and battery technology company, and Cartesian Growth Corporation II (“Cartesian
II”), a special purpose acquisition company (OTCPK: RENEF), today announced that they have entered into a definitive business combination
agreement (“BCA”).
The business combination (“Combination”)
values InoBat at $1.265 billion (approximately €1.1 billion) on a pre-money, pre-merger basis, including consideration tied to the
achievement of strategic and financial milestones. The Combination also includes $77.5 million in new capital committed by institutional
investors and InoBat’s current shareholders. There is no minimum-cash condition to closing.
“This
agreement is a defining moment for InoBat,” said Marian Boček, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of InoBat. “Demand
for electricity is rising as data center and AI infrastructure expands, and the operators building that infrastructure need reliable,
large-scale energy storage. AI runs on computing; computing runs on power. InoBat has built a cash-generative BESS business serving industrial
customers today, and we are now scaling that platform to further reinforce our position in
advanced energy infrastructure for AI. A successful Nasdaq listing would provide us with access to the world’s deepest capital markets,
which we believe would give us the resources and transatlantic reach to further accelerate our growth, expand manufacturing capacity,
strengthen and advance our programs, including our next-generation sodium-ion energy storage technology, and reinforce our position as
a leading advanced energy storage company.”
Electricity demand from data centers and AI infrastructure
is expected to support continued investment in grid modernization and energy storage. Centered in its assembly facility in Voderady, Slovakia, InoBat
serves industrial and utility customers through its BESSMONT platform, which has delivered or contracted 875 MWh of utility-scale battery
energy storage capacity, with a long pipeline of prospective projects. The company is also positioning its platform to support data center
and AI-related infrastructure that requires resilient, flexible power to meet the growing global demand from hyperscalers. In parallel, InoBat
is advancing next-generation sodium-ion battery technology with strategic partners, providing a differentiated and geopolitically resilient
chemistry designed to complement lithium-ion for battery applications, including energy storage systems.
“InoBat is almost uniquely well-situated
to address growing demand for battery storage in a world of heightened attention to supply chain security,” noted Peter Yu,
Chairman and CEO of Cartesian II. “With industrial partners such as Clarios and Altris, and strategic investors including Gotion,
Rio Tinto, and Amara Raja, we believe InoBat will play a critical role in the battery ecosystem.”
The proposed Combination is expected to close
in late 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Additional information about the proposed Combination will be provided in a Current
Report on Form 8-K filed by Cartesian II with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) concurrently with this
announcement. Following the closing of the Combination, InoBat is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “INBT.”
