as its exclusive financial adviser. In connection with the transaction, CoView approached numerous potential alternative acquirers who
declined to provide an offer for the business and delivered a written opinion to the Special Committee, dated May 16, 2025, to the effect
that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations
on the methodologies employed in preparing the opinion, the consideration to be paid in the transaction was fair, from a financial point
of view, to the Company&#8217;s shareholders.</p>

If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party
to this Agreement or any of the Purchase Agreements or an Affiliate of such a party or a Representative of the foregoing (a &ldquo;<B>Third
Party Claim</B>&rdquo;) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification
under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event
not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written
notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying
Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim
in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably
practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate
in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party&rsquo;s
expense and by the Indemnifying Party&rsquo;s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; <I>provided,
that</I> if Sellers are the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any
such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Business, or (y)
seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense
of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 5.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute,
defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The
Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the
Indemnifying Party&rsquo;s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of
the Indemnified Party, <I>provided, that</I> if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses
available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists
a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines
counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the
Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of
such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 5.5(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek
indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate
with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject
to the provisions of the Purchase Agreements) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement
of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary
for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.</P>

Party Claims</U>. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any
Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 5.5(b). If a firm offer
is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the
Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations
in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party
shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within
ten (10) calendar days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim
and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement
offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying
Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified
Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 5.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying
Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).</P>

A Direct Claim shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but
in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such
prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent
that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe
the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated
amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall
have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the
Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and
whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying
Party&rsquo;s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party&rsquo;s premises and
personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors
may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, or, if the Indemnifying Party
responds within such thirty (30) day period but denies or rejects that it or s/he owes any indemnification obligations with respect to
the Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free
to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.</P>

(including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the
&ldquo;<U>Indemnitees</U>&rdquo;) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees,
liabilities and damages, and reasonable expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the
action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys&rsquo; fees and
disbursements (the &ldquo;<U>Indemnified Liabilities</U>&rdquo;), actually incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of,
or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents
or any other certificate, instrument or document executed by the Company contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant,
agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated
hereby or thereby, or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee and arising out of or resulting from
the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated
hereby or thereby, other than, in the case of this clause (c), with respect to Indemnified Liabilities which directly and primarily result
from the fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee. The indemnity in this Section 9 shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable
for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities
which is permissible under applicable law. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date the
Investor makes written request for it; provided that the Investor shall promptly reimburse the Company for any portion of such payment
that a court of competent jurisdiction determines by final and non-appealable judgment that any such Indemnitee was not entitled to receive
hereunder. A certificate containing reasonable detail as to the amount of such indemnification submitted to the Company by the Investor
shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount due from the Company to the Investor. If any action shall be brought
against any Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the
Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable
to the Indemnitee. Any Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel comprising a single attorney or law firm in any such
action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee, except
to the extent that (i)&nbsp;the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii)&nbsp;the Company has
failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii)&nbsp;in such action there is, in the reasonable
opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such
Indemnitee, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of no more
than one such separate counsel.</P>

Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief</U>. The Investor&rsquo;s remedies provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the Investor&rsquo;s remedies provided in Section 9, shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available to the Investor
under this Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy of the
Investor contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall
limit the Investor&rsquo;s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The
Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investor and that the remedy
at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach,
the Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity
of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.</P>

with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Investor under
Rule 415 under the Securities Act at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), as mutually determined by both the Company
and the Investor in consultation with their respective legal counsel; provided, however, the Company may delay filing or suspend the use
of any Registration Statement if the Company determines upon advice of legal counsel, that in order for the registration statement to
not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if the Board of Directors, upon advice of legal
counsel, reasonably believes that such filing or use would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely
affect the Company; provided, however, that in the event the Investor owns Purchase Shares at the time of any such suspension of use of
the registration statement, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to make such registration statement available for the resale
of such securities by the Investor as soon as practicable thereafter. The initial Registration Statement shall register only Registrable
Securities. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement and
any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company
shall give due consideration to all such comments. The Investor acknowledges that it will be identified in the initial Registration Statement
(and in any New Registration Statement) as an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and the Investor
shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to have the Registration Statement and any amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest practicable date. The Company
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities
Act and available for the resale by the Investor of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the date on which
the Investor shall have resold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby and no shares of Common Stock remain issuable under the
Purchase Agreement (the &ldquo;<U>Registration Period</U>&rdquo;). The effective Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements
thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading. Any time-based requirements set forth in this Agreement shall be extended to the next Business Day if the applicable time
falls on a weekend or federal holiday.</P>

the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to <U>Section 2(a)</U>, the Company is otherwise required by the

so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities
pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall file one or more New Registration Statements in accordance with <U>Section 2(c)</U> until
such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus
contained therein is available for use by the Investor. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary,
the Company&rsquo;s obligations to register the Registrable Securities (and any related conditions to the Investor&rsquo;s obligations)
shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement of the SEC or the Staff as addressed in this <U>Section 2(d)</U>.</P>

indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement
of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this
