The Investor will have the registration rights described above with respect to any such purchased Option Shares.
Each Subscription Agreement will terminate with no further force and effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties to the Subscription Agreement to terminate such agreement or (iii) the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement are not consummated prior to July 31, 2019.
