(i) any shares of Company Capital Stock held as treasury stock immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

(ii) subject to Section ‎2.5(c) and Section ‎2.5(a)(iii) below, each share of Company Capital Stock (including any shares of Company Capital Stock issued pursuant to the Company Pre-Closing Financing) outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (excluding shares of Company Capital Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(i) and excluding Dissenting Shares) shall be converted solely into the right to receive a number of Parent Common Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Parent Payment Shares”); provided, however, that, in the event the aggregate number of Parent Common Shares issuable to any holder of Company Capital Stock at the Closing would result in the issuance of Parent Common Shares in an amount (when aggregated with all Securities then beneficially owned by such Person and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder)) in excess of such holder’s Beneficial Ownership Limitation (if any), Parent shall issue to any such holder of Company Capital Stock (x) Parent Common Shares up to such holder’s Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and (y) in lieu of any Parent Common Shares in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (such excess shares, the “Remaining Entitlement”), pre-funded warrants, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (“Pre-Funded Warrants”), to purchase a number of Parent Common Shares upon exercise of such Pre-Funded Warrants equal to the Remaining Entitlement, in such manner to provide any such holder of Company Capital Stock with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement; and

(iii) subject to Section ‎‎2.5(c) and notwithstanding Section ‎2.5(a)(ii) above, each share of Company Series Seed Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (excluding shares of Company Series Seed Preferred Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section ‎ 2.5(a)(i) and excluding Dissenting Shares) shall be converted solely into the right to receive a number of Parent Convertible Preferred Shares equal to (x) the Exchange Ratio divided by (y) 1,000 (such Parent Convertible Preferred Shares, together with the Parent Payment Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants described in Section 2.5(a)(ii), the “Merger Consideration”).

(iv) The Parent Common Shares and the Parent Convertible Preferred Shares issued as Merger Consideration shall continue to be subject to restrictions on the subsequent sale, transfer or other disposition thereof imposed by any Canadian Securities Laws and other holds and escrow requirements as may be imposed on certain holders thereof under other applicable Law, rules, regulations and stock exchange requirements.

(b) If any shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option or a risk of forfeiture under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other similar agreement with the Company, then the Parent Shares issued in exchange for such shares of Company Capital Stock will to the same extent be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture, and such Parent Shares shall accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. The Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the First Effective Time, Parent is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement.

(c) No fractional Parent Shares shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Common Share (on a per position basis) or a fraction of a Parent Convertible Preferred Share (on a person position basis) shall receive from Parent, in lieu of such fractional share and upon surrender by such holder of a letter of transmittal in accordance with Section 2.7 and any accompanying documents as required therein: (i) one Parent Common Share or one Parent Convertible Preferred Share if the aggregate amount of fractional Parent Common Shares or Parent Convertible Preferred Shares such holder of Company Capital Stock would otherwise be entitled to is equal to or exceeds 0.50; or (ii) no Parent Common Shares or Parent Convertible Preferred Shares if the aggregate amount of fractional Parent Common Shares or Parent Convertible Preferred Shares such holder of Company Capital Stock would otherwise be entitled to is less than 0.50, with no cash being paid for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding.

(e) Each share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of First Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the First Step Surviving Corporation. Each book entry share of First Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall, as of the First Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the First Step Surviving Corporation.

(f) If, between the date of this Agreement and the First Effective Time, the outstanding Company Capital Stock or Parent Shares shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split (including the Nasdaq Reverse Split to the extent such split has not previously been taken into account in calculating the Exchange Ratio), combination or exchange of shares or other like change, the Exchange Ratio shall, to the extent necessary, be equitably adjusted to reflect such change to the extent necessary to provide the holders of Company Capital Stock, Company Options, Company RSUs, Company Warrants and Parent Shares with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares or other like change; provided, however, that nothing herein will be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to Company Capital Stock or Parent Shares, respectively, that is prohibited or not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(g) At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the First Step Surviving Corporation, Second Merger Sub or their respective stockholders, each share of the First Step Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(h) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” may be set at the discretion of each holder of Company Capital Stock to a percentage designated by such Person to the Company between 0% and 19.99% of the number of shares of the Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Merger Consideration (collectively, the “Securities”); provided that such percentage shall be set at 9.99% for any holder of Company Capital Stock that does not make such designation to the Company at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by written notice to the Surviving Entity, any Person may reset the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage to a higher or lower percentage, not to exceed 19.99%; provided that any increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such written notice is delivered to the Surviving Entity. Upon such a change by any Person of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further amended by such Person without first providing the minimum notice required by this Section ‎2.5(h).

2.6 Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the First Effective Time: (a) all Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be treated in accordance with Section ‎2.5(a), and all holders of certificates representing Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time.

(b) Promptly after the First Effective Time, the Parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of shares of Company Capital Stock that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that (A) delivery of physical stock certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock, (the “Company Stock Certificates”) shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon delivery of such Company Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent), and (B) a holder of uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock shall not be required to deliver Company Stock Certificates and in lieu thereof, the Exchange Agent shall receive an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may require, with respect to such uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates, or uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock, in exchange for book-entry Parent Shares. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate or other reasonable evidence of the ownership of uncertificated Company Capital Stock to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Parent: (A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate or uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor book-entry shares representing the Merger Consideration (in a number of whole Parent Shares) that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section ‎2.5(a) and Section ‎2.5(c) and (B) the Company Stock Certificate or uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.7(b), each Company Stock Certificate or uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock shall be deemed, from and after the First Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive book-entry Parent Shares representing the Merger Consideration. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any Parent Shares, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an applicable affidavit with respect to such Company Stock Certificate and post a bond indemnifying Parent against any claim suffered by Parent related to the lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate or any Parent Shares issued in exchange therefor as Parent may reasonably request.

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Shares with a record date after the First Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to the Parent Shares that such holder has the right to receive in the Merger until such holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate or uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock or provides an affidavit of loss or destruction in lieu thereof in accordance with this Section 2.7 (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

(d) Any Parent Shares deposited with the Exchange Agent that remain undistributed to holders of Company Capital Stock as of the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Capital Stock who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates or uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with this Section 2.7 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for Parent Shares and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Shares.

(e) No Person shall be liable to any holder of any Company Capital Stock or to any other Person with respect to any Parent Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property Law, escheat Law or similar Law.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Company may require Parent to deliver a new Parent Net Cash Schedule if the Closing Date is more than twenty (20) days after the Calculation Date, which date of delivery shall be deemed the “Calculation Date” hereunder.

(b) No later than the Calculation Date, the Company will deliver to Parent a schedule (the “Company Valuation Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the Company’s good faith, estimated calculations of the components of the Company Valuation (the “Company Valuation Calculation,” and the date of delivery of such schedule being the “Company Valuation Delivery Date”) as of 11:59 p.m. on the last Business Day prior to the Anticipated Closing Date (the “Company Valuation Determination Time”) prepared and certified, via certificate in the form reasonably acceptable to Parent, by the Company’s chief financial officer (or if there is no chief financial officer at such time, the principal financial and accounting officer for the Company). The Company shall make available to Parent (electronically to the greatest extent possible) as reasonably requested by Parent, the work papers and back-up materials used or useful in preparing the Company Valuation Schedule and, if reasonably requested by Parent, the Company’s internal finance personnel and its accountants and counsel during the Company’s normal business hours and upon reasonably advanced written notice. During the period after the delivery of the Company Valuation Schedule and prior to the Closing, Parent shall have an opportunity to review the Company Valuation Schedule and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent in good faith to respond to any questions regarding the Company Valuation Schedule raised by Parent; provided, that this shall in no way limit or otherwise affect the Parent’s remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, or constitute an acknowledgement by Parent of the accuracy of the amounts reflected therein.

(c) No later than five (5) Business Days after the Parent Net Cash Schedule Delivery Date (the last day of such period, the “Response Date”), the Company shall have the right to dispute any part of the Parent Net Cash Calculation by delivering a written notice to that effect to Parent (a “Dispute Notice”). Any Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail and to the extent known the nature and amounts of any proposed revisions to the Parent Net Cash Calculation and will be accompanied by reasonably detailed materials supporting the basis for such revisions.

(d) No later than three (3) Business Days after the Company Valuation Delivery Date (the last day of such period, the “Company Valuation Response Date”), Parent shall have the right to dispute any part of the Company Valuation Calculation by delivering a written notice to that effect to the Company (a “Company Valuation Dispute Notice”) and any Company Valuation Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail and to the extent known the nature and amounts of any proposed revisions to the Company Valuation Calculation and will be accompanied by reasonably detailed materials supporting the basis for such revisions.

(e) If, on or prior to the Response Date, the Company notifies Parent in writing that it has no objections to the Parent Net Cash Calculation or, if on the Response Date, the Company fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 2.8(c), then the Parent Net Cash Calculation as set forth in the Parent Net Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Parent Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.

(f) If, on or prior to the Company Valuation Response Date, Parent notifies the Company in writing that it has no objections to the Company Valuation Calculation or, if on the Company Valuation Response Date, Parent fails to deliver a Company Valuation Dispute Notice as provided in Section 2.8(d), then the Company Valuation Calculation as set forth in the Company Valuation Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Company Valuation at the Company Valuation Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.

(g) If the Company delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Date, then Representatives of Parent and the Company shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Parent Net Cash, which agreed upon the Parent Net Cash amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Parent Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement. If Parent delivers a Company Valuation Dispute Notice on or prior to the Company Valuation Response Date, then Representatives of Parent and the Company shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of the components of the Company Valuation, which agreed upon Company Valuation amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Company Valuation at the Company Valuation Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.

(h) If Representatives of Parent and the Company are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Parent Net Cash as of the Cash Determination Time pursuant or the components of Company Valuation as of the Company Valuation Determination Time, in each case pursuant to Section ‎2.8(g) within three days after delivery of the Dispute Notice or the Company Valuation Dispute Notice, as applicable (or such other period as Parent and the Company may mutually agree upon), then any remaining disagreements as to the calculation of Parent Net Cash or Company Valuation shall be referred to an independent auditor of recognized national standing jointly selected by Parent and the Company. If the parties are unable to select an independent auditor within five (5) days, then either Parent or the Company may thereafter request that either the Boston, Massachusetts Office of the American Arbitration Association or the New York, New York Office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) make such selection (either the independent auditor jointly selected by both parties or such independent auditor selected by the AAA, the “Accounting Firm”). Parent and the Company shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Parent Net Cash Schedule and the Dispute Notice and the Company Valuation Schedule and the Company Valuation Dispute Notice, and Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within five (5) Business Days of accepting its selection. Parent and the Company shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided, however, that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of Parent and the Company. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of Parent Net Cash or the components of the Company Valuation made by the Accounting Firm shall be made in writing delivered to each of Parent and the Company, shall be final and binding on Parent and the Company and shall (absent manifest error) be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Parent Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time or the components of the Company Valuation at the Company Valuation Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement. The Parties shall delay the Closing until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 2.8(h). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Parent and the Company in the same proportion that the disputed amount of the Parent Net Cash or the Company Valuation that was unsuccessfully disputed by such Party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Parent Net Cash amount or the components of the Company Valuation. If this Section 2.8(h) applies as to the determination of the Parent Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time or to the determination of the components of the Company Valuation at the Company Valuation Determination Time, as applicable, upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 2.8(h), the Parties shall not be required to determine Parent Net Cash or the Company Valuation again even though the Closing may occur later than the Anticipated Closing Date, except that either Parent and the Company may request a redetermination of Parent Net Cash or the Company Valuation if the Closing Date is more than thirty (30) days after the Anticipated Closing Date.

2.9 Contingent Value Right.

(a) Prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall declare a distribution (the “Closing Distribution”) to holders of Parent Common Shares of record as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time of the right to receive one contingent value right (each, a “CVR”) for each outstanding Parent Common Share held by such Parent Shareholder as of such date (less applicable withholding taxes), each representing the right to receive contingent payments upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in, and subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the contingent value rights agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “CVR Agreement”). The record date for the Closing Distribution shall be the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the date on which the First Effective Time occurs and the payment date for which shall be the Business Days prior to the First Effective Time; provided that the payment of such distribution may be conditioned upon the occurrence of the First Effective Time.

(b) Parent and the Exchange Agent shall, at or prior to the First Effective Time, duly authorize, execute and deliver the CVR Agreement, subject to any reasonable revisions to the CVR Agreement that are requested by such Exchange Agent and are reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent, each acting reasonably.

(c) Parent shall pay all costs and fees associated with any action contemplated by this Section 2.9 (the “CVR Fees”).

2.10 Further Action. If, at any time after the First Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Surviving Entity to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Entity with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Company, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Entity shall be fully authorized, and shall use their and its commercially reasonable efforts (in the name of the Company, in the name of First Merger Sub, in the name of Second Merger Sub, in the name of the Surviving Entity and otherwise) to take such action.

2.11 Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income Tax purposes, (i) the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, are intended to constitute an integrated transaction described in Rev. Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321 that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, (ii) to the extent Parent has redomiciled to the Cayman Islands (instead of Nevada) prior to the Closing Date, as a result of the Merger, Parent shall become a “surrogate foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 7874 of the Code and a “domestic corporation” pursuant to Section 7874(b) of the Code, and (iii) Section 367 of the Code shall not apply to the Merger (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The Parties adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

2.12 Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Surviving Entity and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such Taxes as are required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under applicable Law; provided that, with respect to any non-compensatory amounts, the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Surviving Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) promptly notify such Persons of any intention to withhold any portion of such consideration and (ii) cooperate with any requests by such Persons to reduce or eliminate any such withholding to the extent permitted by applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, and such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. All payments made under this agreement that constitute compensation to employees for services for Tax purposes shall be made through the payroll of the Surviving Entity, Parent or other applicable employer.

Such stockholders or beneficial owners shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such shares of Company Capital Stock held by them in accordance with the DGCL, unless and until such stockholders or beneficial owners fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders or owned by beneficial owners who shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital Stock under the DGCL (whether occurring before, at or after the First Effective Time) shall thereupon be deemed to be converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the First Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, attributable to such Dissenting Shares upon their surrender in the manner provided in Sections ‎2.5 and ‎2.7.

(b) The Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of any demands by dissenting stockholders or beneficial owners received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served on the Company and any material correspondence received by the Company in connection with such demands, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with Parent’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(e) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Parent (i) audited financial statements for each of its fiscal years required to be included in the Registration Statement (the “Company Audited Financial Statements”), and (ii) unaudited interim financial statements for each interim period completed prior to Closing that would be required to be included in the Registration Statement or any periodic report due prior to the Closing if the Company were subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Canadian Securities Laws, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (the “Company Interim Financial Statements”). Each of the Company Audited Financial Statements and the Company Interim Financial Statements will be suitable for inclusion in the Registration Statement and prepared in accordance with GAAP as applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except in each case as described in the notes thereto) and on that basis will present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company as of the dates of and for the periods referred to in the Company Audited Financial Statements or the Company Interim Financial Statements, as the case may be.

(f) The Company shall make available to the Parent and its auditor: (i) the books and records of the Company, and (ii) the Company Financial Statements, the Company Audited Financial Statements and the Company Interim Financial Statements, in each case as may be required in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement. The Company further agrees to make available such additional financial information as may be reasonably required in respect of disclosure in the Registration Statement or in connection with the preparation of any pro-forma financial statements for inclusion in the Registration Statement, in each case as required under Canadian Securities Laws, the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Under no circumstances shall the Company assert that any other approval or consent is necessary by its stockholders to approve this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions.

(b) Reasonably promptly following receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Vote, the Company shall prepare and mail a notice (the “Stockholder Notice”) to every stockholder of the Company that did not execute the Company Stockholder Written Consent, if any. The Stockholder Notice shall (i) be a statement to the effect that the Company Board determined that the Merger is advisable in accordance with Section 251(b) of the DGCL and in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company and approved and adopted this Agreement, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions, (ii) provide the stockholders of the Company to whom it is sent with notice of the actions taken in the Company Stockholder Written Consent, including the adoption and approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions in accordance with Section 228(e) of the DGCL and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and (iii) include a description of the appraisal rights of the Company’s stockholders available under the DGCL, along with such other information as is required thereunder and pursuant to applicable Law. All materials (including any amendments thereto) submitted to the stockholders of the Company in accordance with this Section 6.2(b) shall be subject to Parent’s advance review (the period of time starting upon delivery of any such materials to Parent and ending upon resolution of any good faith comments raised by Parent, the “Company Stockholder Consent Review Period”), and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments raised by Parent in connection with Parent’s review.

(c) The Company agrees that, subject to Section ‎6.2(d): (i) the Company Board shall recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit such approval within the time set forth in Section 6.2(a) (the recommendation of the Company Board that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve this Agreement being referred to as the “Company Board Recommendation”) and (ii) the Company Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified (and the Company Board shall not publicly propose to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation) in a manner adverse to Parent, and no resolution by the Company Board or any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or to adopt, approve or recommend (or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend) any Acquisition Proposal shall be adopted or proposed.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.2(c), and subject to compliance with Section ‎5.4 and Section ‎6.2, if at any time prior to approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Required Company Stockholder Vote, (i) the Company receives a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of Section 5.4 and Section 6.2 and that the Company Board determines, following consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, to be a Superior Offer, or (ii) as a result of a material development or change in circumstances (other than any such event, development or change to the extent (A) known or reasonably foreseeable to the Company, the Company Board or any of its named executive officers as of the date of this Agreement or (B) related to (1) any Acquisition Proposal, Acquisition Inquiry, Acquisition Transaction or the consequences thereof, (2) any events, developments or changes relating to Parent or Merger Subs, or (3) the fact, in and of itself, that the Company meets or exceeds internal budgets, plans or forecasts of its revenues, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations) that affects the business, assets or operations of the Company that occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement (a “Company Intervening Event”), the Company Board may withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation (or publicly propose to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation) in a manner adverse to Parent (collectively, a “Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change”) if, but only if, (x) in the case of a Superior Offer, following the receipt of and on account of such Superior Offer, (i) the Company Board determines in good faith, based on the advice of its outside legal counsel, that the failure to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (ii) the Company has, during the Notice Period (as defined below), negotiated with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Offer and (iii) if, Parent has delivered to the Company a written offer to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement during the Notice Period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, based on the advice of its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that the failure to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (after taking into account such alterations of the terms and conditions of this Agreement); provided that (1) Parent receives written notice from the Company confirming that the Company Board has determined to change its recommendation at least four (4) Business Days in advance of the Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change (the “Notice Period”), which notice shall include a description in reasonable detail of the reasons for such Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change, and written copies of any relevant proposed transaction agreements with any party making a potential Superior Offer, (2) during any Notice Period, Parent shall be entitled to deliver to the Company one or more counterproposals to such Acquisition Proposal and the Company will, and cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the applicable Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Offer and (3) in the event of any material amendment to any Superior Offer (including any revision in the amount, form or mix of consideration the Company’s stockholders would receive as a result of such potential Superior Offer), the Company shall be required to provide Parent with notice of such material amendment and the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least three (3) Business Days remain in the Notice Period following such notification during which the parties shall comply again with the requirements of this Section 6.2(d) and the Company Board shall not make a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change prior to the end of such Notice Period as so extended (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions) or (y) in the case of a Company Intervening Event, the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing, within the Notice Period before making a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change, which notice shall state expressly the material facts and circumstances related to the applicable Company Intervening Event and that the Company Board intends to make a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change, and the Company shall have given Parent two (2) Business Days thereafter to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make other proposals so that such Company Intervening Event would no longer necessitate a Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change.

(e) The Company’s obligation to solicit the consent of its stockholders to sign the Company Stockholder Written Consent in accordance with Section 6.2(a) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer or other Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry or Company Intervening Event, or by any Company Board Adverse Recommendation Change.

(a) At the First Effective Time, Parent shall assume each Company Stock Plan and each Company Option (including any Service Provider Grants), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall, at the First Effective Time, cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted, at the First Effective Time, into an option to purchase Parent Common Shares (an “Assumed Option”), on the same terms and conditions (including any vesting provisions and any provisions providing for accelerated vesting upon certain events) as were applicable under such Company Option as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, except for administrative or ministerial changes as determined by the Company Board (or, following the First Effective Time, the Parent Board or compensation committee). The number of Parent Common Shares subject to each such Assumed Option shall be equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the respective Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole Parent Common Share, and such Assumed Option shall have an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of the Company Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to the respective Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided that in the case of any Company Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (taking into account the effect of any accelerated vesting thereof, if applicable) by reason of its qualification under Section 422 of the Code, the exercise price, the number of Parent Common Shares subject to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code; provided further, that in the case of any Assumed Option to which Section 409A of the Code applies as of the First Effective Time, the exercise price, the number of Parent Common Shares subject to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid the imposition of any additional taxes thereunder. The Company Board shall, prior to the First Effective Time, take all actions necessary to effect the foregoing.

(b) At the First Effective Time, each award of Company RSU (including any Service Provider Grants), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall, at the First Effective Time, cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted, at the First Effective Time, into a restricted stock unit award to acquire Parent Common Shares (an “Assumed RSU Award”), on the same terms and conditions (including any vesting provisions and any provisions providing for accelerated vesting upon certain events) as were applicable under such Company RSU as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, except for administrative or ministerial changes as determined by the Company Board (or, following the First Effective Time, the Parent Board or compensation committee). Each such Assumed RSU Award shall represent the right to receive, upon settlement, that number of Parent Common Shares as is equal to: (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the respective Company RSU immediately prior to the First Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole Parent Common Share; provided, that in the case of any Assumed RSU Award to which Section 409A of the Code applies as of the First Effective Time, the number of Parent Common Shares subject to such restricted stock unit and the terms and conditions governing such restricted stock unit shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid the imposition of any additional taxes thereunder. The Company Board shall, prior to the First Effective Time, take all actions necessary to effect the foregoing.

(c) At the First Effective Time, each Company Warrant (including any pre-funded Company Warrant issued pursuant to the Company Pre-Closing Financing), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall, at the First Effective Time, cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Capital Stock and shall be converted, at the First Effective Time, into a warrant to purchase Parent Common Shares (an “Assumed Warrant”), on the same terms and conditions (including any vesting provisions and any provisions providing for accelerated vesting upon certain events) as were applicable under such Assumed Warrant as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time. The number of Parent Common Shares subject to each such Assumed Warrant shall be equal to (i) the number of shares of the Company Common Stock subject to each Assumed Warrant immediately prior to the First Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the next whole Parent Common Share to the extent the aggregate amount of fractional Parent Common Shares such holder of Assumed Warrants would otherwise be entitled to is equal to or exceeds 0.50, and otherwise rounded down), and such Assumed Warrant shall have an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of the Company Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Assumed Warrant immediately prior to the First Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. The Company Board shall, prior to the First Effective Time, take all actions necessary to effect the foregoing.

6.6 Employee Benefits.

(a) Parent shall comply with the terms of any employment, severance, retention, change of control, or similar agreement specified on Section 4.17(d) or contemplated by Section 5.1(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, subject to the provisions of such agreements. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Merger shall not constitute a “change in control” (or term of similar import) under any Company Employee Plan.

(b) From and after the First Effective Time, with respect to each benefit plan maintained by Parent or the Surviving Entity that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA (each, a “Post-Closing Welfare Plan”) in which any current or former employee of Parent is or becomes eligible to participate (including under COBRA), Parent and the Surviving Entity shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Post-Closing Welfare Plan to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable under such Post-Closing Welfare Plan for such current or former Parent employee and his or her eligible dependents to the same extent that such pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions would not have applied or would have been waived under the corresponding Parent Employee Plan in which such current or former Parent employee was a participant immediately prior to his or her commencement of participation in such Post-Closing Welfare Plan, and (ii) provide each such current or former Parent employee and his or her eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the plan year that includes the First Effective Time, and prior to the date that, such current or former Parent employee commences participation in such Post-Closing Welfare Plan in satisfying any applicable co-payment or deductible requirements under such Post-Closing Welfare Plan for the applicable plan year, to the extent that such expenses were recognized for such purposes under the comparable Parent Employee Plan.

(c) Parent 401(k) Plan. Unless directed otherwise by the Company in writing no less than three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, Parent shall have, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, (i) ceased contributions to, and adopted written resolutions (or taken other necessary and appropriate action(s)) to terminate any Parent Employee Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code with a cash or deferred arrangement described in Section 401(k) of the Code (collectively, the “401(k) Plans”) in compliance with such 401(k) Plan’s terms and the requirements of applicable Law, (ii) made all employee and employer contributions to the 401(k) Plans for all periods of service prior to the Closing Date, including such contributions that would have been made on behalf of 401(k) Plan participants had the Merger not occurred (regardless of any service or end-of-year employment requirements) but prorated for the portion of the plan year that ends on the Closing Date, and (iii) 100% vested all participants under the 401(k) Plans, with such termination, contributions and vesting effective no later than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date. Parent shall provide the Company copies of all such corporate actions or documentation related to the same at least three (3) Business Days before their adoption or approval for the Company’s reasonable review and comment.

(d) Parent Options. As of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each Parent Option that is then outstanding but not then vested or exercisable shall become immediately vested (with all performance conditions associated with such Parent Options, if any, deemed satisfied in full) and exercisable in full. At the First Effective Time, each In the Money Parent Option that is then outstanding shall be surrendered by the holder thereof to Parent for cancellation and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive a number of Parent Common Shares equal to the number of Parent Common Shares underlying such Parent Option. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the tax withholding obligations for each holder receiving Parent Common Shares in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be satisfied by Parent withholding from issuance that number of Parent Common Shares calculated by multiplying the legally-required withholding rate, if any, for such holder in connection with such issuance by the number of Parent Common Shares to be issued in accordance with the preceding sentence, and rounding up to the nearest whole share and remitting such withholding in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. At the First Effective Time, each Out of the Money Parent Option shall be cancelled for no consideration. Prior to the Closing, the Parent Board (or a committee thereof) shall have adopted appropriate resolutions and taken all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide for the foregoing. The Parties acknowledge that no deduction will be claimed by Parent or any Person not dealing at arm’s length with Parent in respect of any payment hereunder to a Parent Option holder in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of Parent Options, received in respect of the performance of duties of an office or employment in Canada, in computing Parent’s income or the income of any Person not dealing at arm’s length with Parent under the ITA and the applicable provincial Tax legislation, and Parent shall: (a) make an election under subsection 110(1.1) of the ITA and any equivalent or corresponding provision of the applicable provincial Tax legislation in respect of the payments made in exchange for such surrender and cancellation of the Parent Options; and (b) provide evidence in writing of such election to the Parent Option holders.

Each D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from each of Parent and the Surviving Entity, jointly and severally, upon receipt by Parent or the Surviving Entity from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any such person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to Parent, to the extent then required by the DGCL, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. Without otherwise limiting the D&O Indemnified Parties’ rights with regards to counsel, following the First Effective Time, the D&O Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to continue to retain Norton Rose Fulbright LLP or such other counsel selected by the D&O Indemnified Parties.

(b) The Organizational Documents of the Surviving Entity shall contain, and Parent shall cause the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Entity to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers as those presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent.

(e) The Parties agree that, subject to Section 10.2, the payment of the fees and expenses set forth in this Section ‎10.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of each Party following a termination of this Agreement under the circumstances described in this Section ‎10.3, it being understood that in no event shall either Parent or the Company be required to pay the individual fees or damages payable pursuant to this Section ‎10.3 on more than one occasion.

Each of the Parties acknowledges that (x) the agreements contained in this Section ‎10.3 are an integral part of the Contemplated Transactions, (y) without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement and (z) any amount payable pursuant to this Section ‎10.3 is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Parties in the circumstances in which such amount is payable; provided, however, that nothing in this Section ‎10.3(e) shall limit the rights of the Parties under Section 11.10.

Section 11. Miscellaneous Provisions.

11.1 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company, Parent and Merger Subs contained in this Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate at the First Effective Time, and only the covenants that by their terms survive the First Effective Time and this Section 11 shall survive the First Effective Time.

This Agreement may be amended with the approval of the respective boards of directors of the Company, Merger Subs and Parent at any time (whether before or after the adoption and approval of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders or before or after obtaining the Required Parent Shareholder Vote); provided, however, that after any such approval of this Agreement by a Party’s stockholders, no amendment shall be made which by Law requires further approval of such stockholders without the further approval of such stockholders.

11.3 Waiver.

(a) Any provision hereof may be waived by the waiving Party solely on such Party’s own behalf, without the consent of any other Party. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.

(b) No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

11.4 Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Exchanges by Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and the other schedules, exhibits, certificates, instruments and agreements referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms; provided, further, that only Exhibit D-1 (including Exhibit A to such Exhibit) and Exhibit D-2 are incorporated by reference and made a part hereof for purposes of Section 251 of the DGCL. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by all Parties by electronic transmission in PDF format shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

11.5 Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws.

11.6 Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of a Party’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, and any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights or obligations by such Party without the other Party’s prior written consent shall be void and of no effect.

11.7 Notices.

11.8 Cooperation. Each Party agrees to cooperate fully with the other Party and to execute and deliver such further documents, certificates, agreements and instruments and to take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to evidence or reflect the Contemplated Transactions and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

11.9 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

11.10 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party 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 any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and each of the Parties waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each of the Parties further agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

11.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the Parties and the D&O Indemnified Parties to the extent of their respective rights pursuant to Section 6.7) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

11.12 Transferred Information. Each Party agrees that the Personal Information disclosed or conveyed from one party to the other (the “Transferred Information”) is necessary to determine whether to proceed with and to carry out and complete the Contemplated Transactions. Each Party covenants to comply with applicable Privacy Law as it relates to the Transferred Information. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that: (i) up to and including the completion of the Contemplated Transactions, the collection, use and disclosure of Transferred Information is restricted to those purposes that relate to the Contemplated Transactions; and (ii) following the completion of the Contemplated Transactions, the use and disclosure of the Transferred Information is restricted to those purposes for which the Transferred Information was initially collected unless other purposes are permitted by applicable Privacy Law.

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Shareholder is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of such number of shares of Parent Capital Stock as indicated in Appendix A.

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to the willingness of Parent, Mergers Subs and the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that Shareholder enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Certain Definitions. For all purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

(a) “Constructive Sale” means, with respect to any security, (i) a short sale with respect to such security, (ii) entering into or acquiring a derivative contract with respect to such security, (iii) entering into or acquiring a futures or forward contract to deliver such security or (iv) entering into any other hedging or other derivative transaction that has the effect of either directly or indirectly materially changing the economic benefits or risks of ownership of such security.

(b) “Shares” means (i) all shares of Parent Capital Stock and any other equity securities of Parent beneficially owned by the Shareholder as of the date hereof, including such securities indicated in Appendix A, (ii) all additional shares of Parent Capital Stock acquired, whether beneficially owned or of record, by the Shareholder during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and expiring on the Expiration Date (as defined below), and (iii) any shares of capital stock or other equity securities of Parent that such Shareholder acquires or with respect to which such Shareholder otherwise acquires sole or shared voting power (including any proxy), whether beneficial or of record, or otherwise owned by such Shareholder after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and expiring on the Expiration Date, whether by exercise of any Parent Options or otherwise, including, without limitation, by gift, succession, in the event of a stock split or as a dividend or distribution of any Shares.

(c) “Transfer” or “Transferred” means, with respect to any security, the direct or indirect assignment, sale, transfer, tender, exchange, pledge or hypothecation, or the grant, creation or suffrage of an Encumbrance, lien, security interest or encumbrance in or upon, or the gift, grant or placement in trust, or the Constructive Sale or other disposition of such security (including transfers by testamentary or intestate succession, by domestic relations order or other court order, or otherwise by operation of law) or any right, title or interest therein (including any right or power to vote to which the holder thereof may be entitled, whether such right or power is granted by proxy or otherwise), or the record or beneficial ownership thereof, the offer to make such a sale, transfer, Constructive Sale or other disposition, and each agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing, to effect any of the foregoing.

2. Transfer and Voting Restrictions. The Shareholder covenants to Parent and the Company as follows:

(a) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 2(d), during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and expiring on the Expiration Date (as defined below), the Shareholder shall not Transfer any of the Shareholder’s Shares, publicly announce its intention to Transfer any of its Shares.

(b) Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or otherwise permitted or required by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a Governmental Authority, the Shareholder will not commit any act that would restrict the Shareholder’s legal power, authority and right to vote all of the Shares held by the Shareholder or otherwise prevent or disable the Shareholder from performing any of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for this Agreement, and as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Shareholder shall not enter into any voting agreement with any person or entity with respect to any of the Shareholder’s Shares, grant any person or entity any proxy (revocable or irrevocable) or power of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any Shares in a voting trust or otherwise enter into any agreement or arrangement with any person or entity in each case which has the effect of limiting or affecting the Shareholder’s legal power, authority or right to vote the Shareholder’s Shares in favor of the Parent Shareholder Matters.

(c) Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or otherwise permitted or required by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a Governmental Entity, the Shareholder will not enter into any Contract, option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the direct or indirect Transfer of any right, title or interest (including any right or power to vote to which the holder thereof may be entitled whether such right or power is granted by proxy or otherwise) to any Shares or take any action that would reasonably be expected to make any representation or warranty of such Shareholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of restricting the Shareholder’s legal power, authority and right to vote all of the Shares or would otherwise prevent or disable such Shareholder from performing any of such Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Shareholder may, at any time, Transfer Shares (i) by will or other testamentary document or by intestacy to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member of the immediate family of the Shareholder or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, partnership or other entity, to an immediate family member of a beneficial owner of the Shares held by the Shareholder, (ii) to such Shareholder’s Affiliates (in each case, directly or indirectly), (iii) to any trust or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the Shareholder or the immediate family of the Shareholder (or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, partnership or other entity, for the direct or indirect benefit of an immediate family member of a beneficial owner of the Shares held by the Shareholder) or otherwise for estate tax or estate planning purposes, (iv) in the case of a Shareholder who is not a natural person, by pro rata distributions from the Shareholder to its members, partners, or shareholders pursuant to the Shareholder’s organizational documents, (v) pursuant to applicable Law or by operation of law pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or in connection with a divorce settlement and (vi) pursuant to the exercise of any option to purchase any Parent Capital Stock, including in order to pay the exercise price of such option or otherwise satisfy taxes applicable thereto; provided, that in the cases of clauses (i)-(vi), (x) such Transferred Shares shall continue to be bound by this Agreement and (y) the applicable direct transferee (if any) of such Transferred Shares shall have executed and delivered to Parent and the Company a support agreement substantially identical to this Agreement upon consummation of the Transfer if not already a party thereto. Any action taken in violation of Section 2(a) through Section 2(d) shall be null and void ab initio.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the Shareholder to exercise any option or any other right to acquire any shares of Parent Capital Stock.

3. Agreement to Vote Shares. The Shareholder covenants to Parent and the Company as follows:

(a) Until the Expiration Date, at every meeting of the Shareholders of Parent called to vote upon the Parent Shareholder Matters, however called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the shareholders of Parent, the Shareholder shall be present (in person or by proxy) and vote, or exercise its right to consent with respect to, all Shares held by the Shareholder (A) in favor of the Parent Shareholder Matters, and (B) against any Acquisition Proposal. 

(b) If the Shareholder is the beneficial owner, but not the record holder, of Shares, the Shareholder agrees to take all actions necessary to cause the record holder and any nominees to be present (in person or by proxy) and vote all the Shareholder’s Shares in accordance with this Section 3‎.

(c) In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the capital stock of Parent by reason of any split-up, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, reincorporation, exchange of shares or the like, the term “Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of such shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.

4. Action in Shareholder Capacity Only. The Shareholder is entering into this Agreement solely in the Shareholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner, as applicable, of its Shares and not in the Shareholder’s capacity as a director or officer of Parent. Nothing herein shall limit or affect the Shareholder’s ability to exercise the Shareholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director of Parent.

5. Irrevocable Proxy. The Shareholder hereby revokes (or agrees to cause to be revoked) any proxies that the Shareholder has heretofore granted with respect to its Shares. In the event and to the extent that the Shareholder fails to vote the Shares in accordance with Section 3 at any applicable meeting of the shareholders of Parent or pursuant to any applicable written consent of the shareholders of Parent, the Shareholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably granted to, and appointed, Parent and any individual designated in writing by it, and each of them individually, as his, her or its proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in its name, place and stead, to (a) attend any all meetings of the Parent shareholders with respect to any of the matters specified in Section 3 and (b) vote, express consent, dissent or grant, withhold or issue instructions to the record holder to vote his, her or its Shares in any action by written consent of Parent shareholders or at any meeting of Parent shareholders called with respect to any of the matters specified in, and in accordance and consistent with, Section 3 of this Agreement. Parent agrees not to exercise the proxy granted herein for any purpose other than the purposes described in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, the Shareholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked and that such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable (and as such shall survive and not be affected by the death, incapacity, mental illness or insanity of the Shareholder, as applicable) and shall not be terminated by operation of law or upon the occurrence of any other event other than the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the irrevocable proxy granted hereunder shall automatically terminate on the Expiration Date. The Shareholder hereby affirms that the proxy set forth in this Section 5 is given in connection with and granted in consideration of and as an inducement to Parent, Mergers Subs and the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement and that such proxy is given to secure the obligations of the Shareholder under Section 3.

6. No Solicitation. The Shareholder agrees not to directly or indirectly, including through any of its officers, directors or agents, take any action that Parent is prohibited from taking pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement and Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis. The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants that the Shareholder has read Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement.

7. Documentation and Information. The Shareholder shall permit and hereby authorizes Parent and the Company to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document that Parent or the Company reasonably determines to be necessary in connection with the Merger and any of the Contemplated Transactions, a copy of this Agreement, the Shareholder’s identity and ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Shareholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement.

8. Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder. The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent and the Company as follows:

(a) (i) The Shareholder is the beneficial or record owner of the shares of Parent Capital Stock indicated in Appendix A (each of which shall be deemed to be “held” by the Shareholder for purposes of Section 3 unless otherwise expressly stated with respect to any shares in Appendix A), free and clear of any and all Encumbrances (except, if applicable, for any Encumbrance that may be imposed pursuant to this Agreement and Encumbrances arising under applicable securities or community property laws); and (ii) the Shareholder does not beneficially own any securities of Parent other than the shares of Parent Capital Stock and rights to purchase shares of Parent Capital Stock set forth in Appendix A.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Shareholder has full power and authority to (i) make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement and (ii) vote all of its Shares in the manner set forth in this Agreement without the consent or approval of, or any other action on the part of, any other person or entity (including any Governmental Authority). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Shareholder has not entered into any voting agreement (other than this Agreement) with any person with respect to any of the Shareholder’s Shares, granted any person any proxy (revocable or irrevocable) or power of attorney with respect to any of the Shareholder’s Shares, deposited any of the Shareholder’s Shares in a voting trust or entered into any arrangement or agreement with any person limiting or affecting the Shareholder’s legal power, authority or right to vote the Shareholder’s Shares on any matter.

(c) This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Shareholder enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder and the performance by the Shareholder of the agreements and obligations hereunder will not result in any breach or violation of or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any term of any Contract or, if applicable, any provision of an organizational document (including a certificate of incorporation) to or by which the Shareholder is a party or bound, or any applicable law to which the Shareholder (or any of the Shareholder’s assets) is subject or bound, except for any such breach, violation, conflict or default which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to materially impair or adversely affect the Shareholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(d) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Shareholder do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, action by, filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority, except for any such consent, approval, authorization, permit, action, filing or notification the failure of which to make or obtain, individually or in the aggregate, has not and would not materially impair the Shareholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(e) The Shareholder has had the opportunity to review the Merger Agreement and this Agreement with counsel of the Shareholder’s own choosing. The Shareholder has had an opportunity to review with its own tax advisors the tax consequences of the Merger and the Contemplated Transactions. The Shareholder understands that it must rely solely on its advisors and not on any statements or representations made by Parent, the Company or any of their respective agents or representatives with respect to the tax consequences of the Merger and the Contemplated Transactions. The Shareholder understands that such Shareholder (and not Parent, the Company or the Surviving Entity) shall be responsible for such Shareholder’s tax liability that may arise as a result of the Merger or the Contemplated Transactions. The Shareholder understands and acknowledges that the Company, Parent and the Merger Subs are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Shareholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

(f) With respect to the Shareholder, as of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending against, or, to the knowledge of the Shareholder, threatened against, the Shareholder or any of the Shareholder’s properties or assets (including the Shares) that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the ability of the Shareholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

9. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and shall cease to be of any further force or effect as of the earliest of (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to the terms thereof, (b) the First Effective Time, (c) the amendment of the Merger Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Shareholder, in a manner that affects the economics or material terms of the Merger Agreement in a manner that is adverse to the Shareholder and (d) the time this Agreement is terminated upon the written agreement of the Shareholder, the Company and Parent (such date, the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that (i) Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any Party from any liability for any material and willful breach of this Agreement prior to the First Effective Time.

10. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Amendments. No amendment of this Agreement shall be effective against any Party unless it shall be in writing and signed by each of the Parties.

(b) Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Exchanges by Electronic Transmission or Facsimile. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all other prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by all Parties by facsimile or electronic transmission in PDF format shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c) Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws, except to the extent the provisions of the laws of the Province of British Columbia are mandatorily applicable to the Merger or the fiduciary duties of the board of directors or officers of Parent and provided, that the provisions of this Agreement which by their terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia. In any action or proceeding between any of the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each of the Parties: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in accordance with clause (i) of this Section 10(c), (iii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts, (iv) waives any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party, (v) agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 10(h) of this Agreement and (vi) irrevocably and unconditionally waives the right to trial by jury.

(d) Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of a Party’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated (except pursuant to the Merger) by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights or obligations by such Party without the other Parties’ prior written consent shall be void and of no effect.

(e) No Third-Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(f) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

(g) Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party 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 any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and each of the Parties waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each of the Parties further agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

(h) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly delivered (i) one (1) Business Day after being sent for next Business Day delivery, fees prepaid, via a reputable international overnight courier service, (ii) upon delivery in the case of delivery by hand or (iii) on the date delivered in the place of delivery if sent by email or facsimile (with a written or electronic confirmation of delivery) prior to 6:00 p.m. (New York City time), otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day, (A) if to the Company or Parent, to the address, electronic mail address or facsimile provided in Section 11.7 of the Merger Agreement, including to the persons designated therein to receive copies; and/or (B) if to the Shareholder, to the Shareholder’s address, electronic mail address or facsimile shown below Shareholder’s signature to this Agreement.

(i) Confidentiality.

(b) Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or otherwise permitted or required by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a Governmental Authority, the Stockholder will not commit any act that would restrict the Stockholder’s legal power, authority and right to vote all of the Shares held by the Stockholder or otherwise prevent or disable the Stockholder from performing any of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for this Agreement and as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Stockholder shall not enter into any voting agreement with any person or entity with respect to any of the Stockholder’s Shares, grant any person or entity any proxy (revocable or irrevocable) or power of attorney with respect to any of the Shares, deposit any Shares in a voting trust or otherwise enter into any agreement or arrangement with any person or entity in each case which has the effect of limiting or affecting the Stockholder’s legal power, authority or right to execute and deliver the Company Stockholder Written Consents or otherwise vote in favor of Company stockholder matters.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, the Stockholder may, at any time, Transfer Shares (i) by will or other testamentary document or by intestacy to the legal representative, heir, beneficiary or a member of the immediate family of the Stockholder or, if the Stockholder is a corporation, partnership or other entity, to an immediate family member of a beneficial owner of the Shares held by the Stockholder, (ii) to such Stockholder’s Affiliates (in each case, directly or indirectly), (iii) to any trust or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the Stockholder or the immediate family of the Stockholder (or, if the Stockholder is a corporation, partnership or other entity, for the direct or indirect benefit of an immediate family member of a beneficial owner of the Shares held by the Stockholder) or otherwise for estate tax or estate planning purposes, (iv) in the case of a Stockholder who is not a natural person, by pro rata distributions from the Stockholder to its members, partners, or shareholders pursuant to the Stockholder’s organizational documents, (v) purchased on or about the Closing Date from the Company pursuant to the Company Pre-Closing Financing, (vi) pursuant to applicable Law or by operation of law pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or in connection with a divorce settlement and (vii) pursuant to the exercise of any option to purchase any Company Capital Stock or settlement of any restricted stock units, including in order to pay the exercise price of such option or otherwise satisfy taxes applicable thereto; provided, that in the cases of clauses (i)-(vii) (except clause (v)), (x) such Transferred Shares shall continue to be bound by this Agreement and (y) the applicable direct transferee (if any) of such Transferred Shares shall have executed and delivered to Parent and the Company a support agreement substantially identical to this Agreement upon consummation of the Transfer if not already a party thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the Stockholder to exercise any option or any other right to acquire any shares of Company Capital Stock.

3. Agreement to Vote Shares. The Stockholder covenants to Parent and the Company as follows:

(a) Until the Expiration Date, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, the Stockholder shall be present (in person or by proxy) and vote, or exercise its right to consent with respect to, all Shares held by the Stockholder (A) in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, (B) in favor of approval of the Contemplated Transactions, (C) against approval of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and (D) against any Acquisition Proposal.

4. Action in Stockholder Capacity Only. The Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a record holder and/or beneficial owner, as applicable, of its Shares and not in the Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company. Nothing herein shall limit or affect the Stockholder’s ability to exercise the Stockholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director of the Company.

5. Irrevocable Proxy. The Stockholder hereby revokes (or agrees to cause to be revoked) any proxies that the Stockholder has heretofore granted with respect to its Shares. In the event and to the extent that the Stockholder fails to vote the Shares in accordance with Section ‎3 at any applicable meeting of the stockholders of the Company or pursuant to any applicable written consent of the stockholders of the Company, the Stockholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably granted to, and appointed, the Company and any individual designated in writing by it, and each of them individually, as his, her or its proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in its name, place and stead, to (a) attend any all meetings of the Company stockholders with respect to any of the matters specified in Section ‎3 and (b) vote, express consent, dissent or grant, withhold or issue instructions to the record holder to vote his, her or its Shares in any action by written consent of Company stockholders or at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders called with respect to any of the matters specified in, and in accordance and consistent with, Section ‎3 of this Agreement. The Company agrees not to exercise the proxy granted herein for any purpose other than the purposes described in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for herein, the Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked and that such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable (and as such shall survive and not be affected by the death, incapacity, mental illness or insanity of the Stockholder, as applicable) and shall not be terminated by operation of law or upon the occurrence of any other event other than the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the irrevocable proxy granted hereunder shall automatically terminate on the Expiration Date. The Stockholder hereby affirms that the proxy set forth in this Section ‎5 is given in connection with and granted in consideration of and as an inducement to the Company, Parent and the Merger Subs to enter into the Merger Agreement and that such proxy is given to secure the obligations of the Stockholder under Section ‎3.

6. No Solicitation. The Stockholder agrees not to directly or indirectly, including through any of its officers, directors or agents, take any action that the Company is prohibited from taking pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement and Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis. The Stockholder hereby represents and warrants that the Stockholder has read Section 5.4 of the Merger Agreement.

7. Documentation and Information. The Stockholder shall permit and hereby authorizes Parent and the Company to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document that Parent or the Company reasonably determines to be necessary in connection with the Merger and any of the Contemplated Transactions, a copy of this Agreement, the Stockholder’s identity and ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Stockholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement.

8. No Exercise of Appraisal Rights; Waivers. The Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) waives, and agrees to cause to be waived and to prevent the exercise of, any rights of appraisal, any dissenters’ rights and any similar rights (including any notice requirements related thereto) relating to the Contemplated Transactions that Stockholder may have by virtue of, or with respect to, any Shares under any applicable Law (including all rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix B) and (b) agrees that the Stockholder will not bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute or voluntarily aid or participate in any action, claim, suit or cause of action, in law or in equity, in any court or before any Governmental Authority, which (i) challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement or (ii) alleges that (A) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder breaches any duty that such Stockholder has (or may be alleged to have) to the Company or to the other Company stockholders, (B) the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Company Board breaches any fiduciary duty of the Company Board or any member thereof, or (C) the Contemplated Transactions constitute a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Company Board or any member thereof; provided, that (x) the Stockholder may defend against, contest or settle any such action, claim, suit or cause of action brought against the Stockholder that relates solely to the Stockholder’s capacity as a director, officer or securityholder of the Company and (y) the foregoing shall not limit or restrict in any manner the Stockholder from enforcing the Stockholder’s rights under this Agreement and the other agreements entered into by the Stockholder in connection herewith, or otherwise in connection with the Merger, including the Stockholder’s right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

9. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder. The Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent and the Company as follows:

(a) (i) The Stockholder is the beneficial owner of the shares of Company Capital Stock indicated in Appendix A (each of which shall be deemed to be “held” by the Stockholder for purposes of Section ‎3 unless otherwise expressly stated with respect to any shares in Appendix A), free and clear of any and all Encumbrances (except, if applicable, for any Encumbrance that may be imposed pursuant to this Agreement, any lock-up agreement entered into by and between the Stockholder, the Company and Parent, and Encumbrances arising under applicable securities or community property laws); and (ii) the Stockholder does not beneficially own any securities of the Company other than the shares of Company Capital Stock and rights to purchase shares of Company Capital Stock set forth in Appendix A.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Stockholder has full power and authority to (i) make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement and (ii) vote all of its Shares in the manner set forth in this Agreement without the consent or approval of, or any other action on the part of, any other person or entity (including any Governmental Authority). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder has not entered into any voting agreement (other than this Agreement) with any person with respect to any of the Stockholder’s Shares, granted any person any proxy (revocable or irrevocable) or power of attorney with respect to any of the Stockholder’s Shares, deposited any of the Stockholder’s Shares in a voting trust or entered into any arrangement or agreement with any person limiting or affecting the Stockholder’s legal power, authority or right to vote the Stockholder’s Shares on any matter.

(c) This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Stockholder enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder and the performance by the Stockholder of the agreements and obligations hereunder will not result in any breach or violation of or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any term of any Contract or, if applicable, any provision of an organizational document (including a certificate of incorporation) to or by which the Stockholder is a party or bound, or any applicable law to which the Stockholder (or any of the Stockholder’s assets) is subject or bound, except for any such breach, violation, conflict or default which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to materially impair or adversely affect the Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(d) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, action by, filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority, except for any such consent, approval, authorization, permit, action, filing or notification the failure of which to make or obtain, individually or in the aggregate, has not and would not materially impair the Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(e) The Stockholder has had the opportunity to review the Merger Agreement and this Agreement with counsel of the Stockholder’s own choosing. The Stockholder has had an opportunity to review with its own tax advisors the tax consequences of the Merger and the Contemplated Transactions. The Stockholder understands that it must rely solely on its advisors and not on any statements or representations made by Parent, the Company or any of their respective agents or representatives with respect to the tax consequences of the Merger and the Contemplated Transactions. The Stockholder understands that such Stockholder (and not Parent, the Company or the Surviving Entity) shall be responsible for such Stockholder’s tax liability that may arise as a result of the Merger or the Contemplated Transactions. The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the Company, Parent and the Merger Subs are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

(f) With respect to the Stockholder, as of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending against, or, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, threatened against, the Stockholder or any of the Stockholder’s properties or assets (including the Shares) that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the ability of the Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

10. Certain Agreements. Each Stockholder, by this Agreement, and with respect to such Stockholder’s Shares, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to terminate, subject to the occurrence of, and effective immediately prior to, the First Effective Time any stockholder agreements, voting agreements, registration rights agreements, co-sale agreements and any other similar Contracts between the Company and holders of Company Capital Stock, including rights under any letter agreement providing for redemption rights, put rights, purchase rights, information rights, rights to consult with and advise management, inspection rights, preemptive rights, board of directors observer rights or rights to receive information delivered to the board of directors or other similar rights not generally available to stockholders of the Company between the Stockholder and the Company, including Investor Agreements, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any rights the Stockholder may have that relate to any indemnification, commercial, development or employment agreements or arrangements between such Stockholder and the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, which shall survive in accordance with their terms. Each Stockholder hereby terminates and waives all rights of first refusal, redemption rights and rights of notice of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, effective as of immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the First Effective Time.

11. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and shall cease to be of any further force or effect as of the earliest of (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to the terms thereof, (b) the First Effective Time and (c) the time this Agreement is terminated upon the written agreement of the Stockholder, the Company and Parent (such date, the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that (i) Section ‎12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any Party from any liability for any material and willful breach of this Agreement prior to the First Effective Time.

12. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Amendments. No amendment of this Agreement shall be effective against any Party unless it shall be in writing and signed by each of the Parties.

(b) Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Exchanges by Electronic Transmission or Facsimile. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all other prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by all Parties by facsimile or electronic transmission in PDF format shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c) Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. In any action or proceeding between any of the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each of the Parties: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined exclusively in accordance with clause (i) of this Section ‎12(c), (iii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts, (iv) waives any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party, (v) agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section ‎12‎(h) of this Agreement and (vi) irrevocably and unconditionally waives the right to trial by jury.

(d) Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of a Party’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated (except pursuant to the Merger) by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights or obligations by such Party without the other Parties’ prior written consent shall be void and of no effect.

(e) No Third-Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(f) Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

(g) Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party 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 any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and each of the Parties waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each of the Parties further agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

(h) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly delivered (i) one (1) Business Day after being sent for next Business Day delivery, fees prepaid, via a reputable international overnight courier service, (ii) upon delivery in the case of delivery by hand or (iii) on the date delivered in the place of delivery if sent by email or facsimile (with a written or electronic confirmation of delivery) prior to 6:00 p.m. (New York City time), otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day, (A) if to the Company or Parent, to the address, electronic mail address or facsimile provided in Section 11.7 of the Merger Agreement, including to the persons designated therein to receive copies; and/or (B) if to the Stockholder, to the Stockholder’s address, electronic mail address or facsimile shown below Stockholder’s signature to this Agreement.

Neither the Stockholder nor any of its Affiliates (other than the Company, whose actions shall be governed by the Merger Agreement), shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to the Company, Parent, the Merger Subs, this Agreement, the Contemplated Transactions, the Merger Agreement or the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the prior written consent of the Company and Parent, except as may be required by applicable Law in which circumstance such announcing Party shall make reasonable efforts to consult with the Company and Parent to the extent practicable.

Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

§262. Appraisal Rights.

(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository; the words “beneficial owner” mean a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of stock held either in voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person; and the word “person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity.

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation in a merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263, § 264, § 266 or § 390 of this title (other than, in each case and solely with respect to a converted or domesticated corporation, a merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance authorized pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of § 265 or § 388 of this title):

(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders, or at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to consent pursuant to § 228 of this title, to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation or the resolution providing for the conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance (or, in the case of a merger pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, as of immediately prior to the execution of the agreement of merger), were either: (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation, or by the terms of a resolution providing for conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, pursuant to § 251, § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263, § 264, § 266 or § 390 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or of the converted entity or the entity resulting from a transfer, domestication or continuance if such entity is a corporation as a result of the conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or

d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

(4) [Repealed.]

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation or a conversion effected pursuant to § 266 of this title or a transfer, domestication or continuance effected pursuant to § 390 of this title. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the provisions of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d), (e), and (g) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation, and shall include in such notice either a copy of this section (and, if 1 of the constituent corporations or the converting corporation is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title) or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which this section (and, § 114 of this title, if applicable) may be accessed without subscription or cost. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the surviving, resulting or converted entity shall notify each stockholder of each constituent or converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, and any beneficial owner who has demanded appraisal under paragraph (d)(3) of this section, of the date that the merger, consolidation or conversion has become effective; or

(2) If the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation before the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, or the surviving, resulting or converted entity within 10 days after such effective date, shall notify each stockholder of any class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation who is entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation, and shall include in such notice either a copy of this section (and, if 1 of the constituent corporations or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title) or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which this section (and § 114 of this title, if applicable) may be accessed without subscription or cost. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of giving such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of giving such notice, demand in writing from the surviving, resulting or converted entity the appraisal of such holder’s shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to such entity by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs such entity of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, either (i) each such constituent corporation or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance or (ii) the surviving, resulting or converted entity shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection and any beneficial owner who has demanded appraisal under paragraph (d)(3) of this section. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation or entity that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(3) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section (but subject to this paragraph (d)(3)), a beneficial owner may, in such person’s name, demand in writing an appraisal of such beneficial owner’s shares in accordance with either paragraph (d)(1) or (2) of this section, as applicable; provided that (i) such beneficial owner continuously owns such shares through the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance and otherwise satisfies the requirements applicable to a stockholder under the first sentence of subsection (a) of this section and (ii) the demand made by such beneficial owner reasonably identifies the holder of record of the shares for which the demand is made, is accompanied by documentary evidence of such beneficial owner’s beneficial ownership of stock and a statement that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be, and provides an address at which such beneficial owner consents to receive notices given by the surviving, resulting or converted entity hereunder and to be set forth on the verified list required by subsection (f) of this section.

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the surviving, resulting or converted entity, or any person who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, any person entitled to appraisal rights who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such person’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, any person who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section, upon request given in writing (or by electronic transmission directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in the notice of appraisal), shall be entitled to receive from the surviving, resulting or converted entity a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance (or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, the aggregate number of shares (other than any excluded stock (as defined in § 251(h)(6)d. of this title)) that were the subject of, and were not tendered into, and accepted for purchase or exchange in, the offer referred to in § 251(h)(2) of this title)), and, in either case, with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of stockholders or beneficial owners holding or owning such shares (provided that, where a beneficial owner makes a demand pursuant to paragraph (d)(3) of this section, the record holder of such shares shall not be considered a separate stockholder holding such shares for purposes of such aggregate number). Such statement shall be given to the person within 10 days after such person’s request for such a statement is received by the surviving, resulting or converted entity or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section, whichever is later.

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by any person other than the surviving, resulting or converted entity, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon such entity, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all persons who have demanded appraisal for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by such entity. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving, resulting or converted entity and to the persons shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving, resulting or converted entity.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the persons who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the persons who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any person fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such person. If immediately before the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance the shares of the class or series of stock of the constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Court shall dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal, (2) the value of the consideration provided in the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million, or (3) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of this title.

(h) After the Court determines the persons entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as provided in this subsection, interest from the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger, consolidation or conversion and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving, resulting or converted entity may pay to each person entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving, resulting or converted entity or by any person entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the persons entitled to an appraisal. Any person whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity pursuant to subsection (f) of this section may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such person is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving, resulting or converted entity to the persons entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such person upon such terms and conditions as the Court may order. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving, resulting or converted entity be an entity of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a person whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving, resulting or converted entity pursuant to subsection (f) of this section who participated in the proceeding and incurred expenses in connection therewith, the Court may order all or a portion of such expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal not dismissed pursuant to subsection (k) of this section or subject to such an award pursuant to a reservation of jurisdiction under subsection (k) of this section.

(k) Subject to the remainder of this subsection, from and after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, no person who has demanded appraisal rights with respect to some or all of such person’s shares as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such shares for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on such shares (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance). If a person who has made a demand for an appraisal in accordance with this section shall deliver to the surviving, resulting or converted entity a written withdrawal of such person’s demand for an appraisal in respect of some or all of such person’s shares in accordance with subsection (e) of this section, either within 60 days after such effective date or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such person to an appraisal of the shares subject to the withdrawal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall not be dismissed as to any person without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just, including without limitation, a reservation of jurisdiction for any application to the Court made under subsection (j) of this section; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any person who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such person’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance within 60 days after the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section. If a petition for an appraisal is not filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, the right to appraisal with respect to all shares shall cease.

(l) The shares or other equity interests of the surviving, resulting or converted entity to which the shares of stock subject to appraisal under this section would have otherwise converted but for an appraisal demand made in accordance with this section shall have the status of authorized but not outstanding shares of stock or other equity interests of the surviving, resulting or converted entity, unless and until the person that has demanded appraisal is no longer entitled to appraisal pursuant to this section.

ARTICLE 2
CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS

Section 2.1 Holders of CVRs; Appointment of Rights Agent.

(a) The CVRs represent direct contractual obligations of the Parent and shall entitle each of Holders to receive CVR Proceeds in accordance with this Agreement or upon the occurrence of, or the filing of, a request to a competent authority in connection with a Dissolution Event of the Parent.. The initial Holders will be the holders of Parent Shares as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time. One CVR will be issued with respect to each Parent Share that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time.

(b) The Parent and the Representative hereby appoint the Rights Agent to act as Rights Agent for the Parent in accordance with the express terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

Section 2.2 Non-transferable. The CVRs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer. The CVRs will not be listed on any quotation system or traded on any securities exchange. Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or disposition of CVRs, in whole or in part, in violation of this Section 2.2 shall be void ab initio and of no effect.

Section 2.3 No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.

(a) The CVRs will be issued in book-entry form only and will not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.

(b) The Rights Agent shall create and maintain a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of registering CVRs and Permitted Transfers. The CVR Register will be created, and CVRs will be distributed, pursuant to written instructions to the Rights Agent from the Parent. The CVR Register will initially show one position for Cede & Co. representing Parent Shares held by DTC on behalf of the street holders of the Parent Shares held by such holders as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time. The Rights Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly or indirectly to the street name holders with respect to transfers of CVRs. With respect to any payments or issuances to be made under Section 2.4 below, the Rights Agent will accomplish the payment to any former street name holders of Parent Shares by sending one lump-sum payment or issuance to DTC. The Rights Agent will have no responsibilities whatsoever with regard to the distribution of payments or Parent Shares by DTC to such street name holders.

(c) Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent pursuant to its guidelines or procedures, including a guaranty of signature by an “eligible guarantor institution” that is a member or participant in the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, duly executed and properly completed by the Holder thereof, the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal representative or the Holder’s survivor, and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent shall, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2.2), register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register. The Parent and Rights Agent may require evidence of payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp, documentary, registration, or other Tax or governmental charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer (or evidence that such Taxes and charges are not applicable). The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment by a Holder of a CVR of applicable taxes or charges unless and until the Rights Agent is satisfied that all such taxes or charges have been paid. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register will be the valid obligations of the Parent and will entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR will be valid until registered in the CVR Register.

(d) A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written notice and proper validation of the identity of such Holder, the Rights Agent shall, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form, promptly record the change of address in the CVR Register. The Parent, the Acting Holders or the Representative may make a written request to the Rights Agent for a list containing the names, addresses and number of CVRs of the Holders that are registered in the CVR Register. Upon receipt of such written request from the Acting Holders or the Representative, as applicable, the Rights Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such list to the Acting Holders or the Representative, as applicable.

(e) The Parent will provide written instructions to the Rights Agent for the distribution of CVRs to holders of Parent Shares as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (the “Record Time”). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Parent’s prompt confirmation of the First Effective Time, the Rights Agent shall effect the distribution of the CVRs, less any applicable tax withholding, to each holder of Parent Shares as of the Record Time by the mailing of a statement of holding reflecting such CVRs.

Section 2.4 Payment Procedures.

(a) If a Parent Legacy Transaction Agreement is entered prior to the end of the Parent Legacy Transaction Period, then the Parent and the Representative shall promptly and jointly deliver to the Rights Agent written notice indicating that a Parent Legacy Transaction Agreement has been entered into and a copy of the Parent Legacy Transaction Agreement and any ancillary agreements thereto.

(b) On or prior to each CVR Payment Date and subject to Section 4.6, the Parent and the Representative shall jointly deliver to the Rights Agent (i) written notice indicating that (A) the Holders are entitled to receive one or more payments with respect to CVR Proceeds; (B) the source and trigger event for such payment of CVR Proceeds; and (C) if applicable, a detailed calculation of Gross Proceeds (including any calculations and/or supporting documentation applicable to any allocation determination for consideration related or not related to the Parent Legacy Business), Net Proceeds and any Permitted Deductions used to calculate such CVR Proceeds with reasonable supporting detail for such Permitted Deductions and any additional source materials as reasonably requested by the Representative in respect of any of the foregoing (such notice, a “CVR Payment Notice”), (ii) a letter of instruction setting forth, for each CVR, the CVR Payment Amount with respect thereto (including each component included in the calculation thereof) and (iii) any other letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent. On or prior to any CVR Payment Date and subject to Section 4.6, the Parent shall deliver to the Rights Agent the CVR Payment Amounts required by Section 4.6. All amounts delivered by the Parent hereunder shall be delivered in U.S. dollars. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parent shall have no further liability in respect of the relevant CVR Payment Amount upon delivery of such CVR Payment Amount in accordance with this Section 2.4(b) and the satisfaction of each of the Parent’s obligations set forth in this Section 2.4(b) and Section 2.7. With respect to cash deposited by the Parent with the bank or financial institution designated by the Rights Agent (which shall be Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank or another bank or financial institution of substantially equivalent national reputation and financial standing), the Rights Agent agrees to cause such bank or financial institution to establish and maintain a separate demand deposit account therefor in the name of the Rights Agent for the benefit of the Parent. The Rights Agent will only draw upon cash in such account(s) as required from time to time in order to make payments as required under this Agreement and any applicable Tax withholding payments pursuant to Section 2.7(b) herein. The Rights Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution of funds that may result from any deposit made by the Rights Agent in accordance with this Section 2.4(b), including any losses resulting from a default by any bank, financial institution or other third party, in the absence of fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct by or on behalf of the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent may from time to time receive interest in connection with such deposits. The Rights Agent shall not be obligated to pay such interest to the Parent, the Representative, any Holder or any other party. The Rights Agent is acting as an agent hereunder and is not a debtor of the Parent in respect of cash deposited hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parent and Representative acknowledge that (i) the Rights Agent is not a bank or a trust company, (ii) the Rights Agent is not acting in any sort of capacity as an “escrow” or similar agent hereunder, and (iii) nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Rights Agent to perform any services that would require registration with any governmental authority as a bank or a trust company.

(c) The Rights Agent will promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the CVR Payment Notice as well as any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent, send each Holder at its registered address a copy of the CVR Payment Notice (at the Parent’s sole cost and expense) and, following the applicable CVR Payment Date, promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days following such CVR Payment Notice) pay the CVR Payment Amount to each of the Holders by check mailed to the address of each Holder as reflected in the CVR Register as of the close of business on the CVR Payment Date; provided, that with respect to any such Holder that is due an amount in excess of $100,000 in the aggregate who has provided the Rights Agent wiring instructions in writing as of the close of business on the date of the CVR Payment Notice, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified on such instruction.

(d) Any portion of the CVR Payment Amount that remains undistributed to a Holder three (3) years after the applicable CVR Payment Date will be delivered by the Rights Agent to the Parent, upon demand, and any Holder will thereafter look only to the Parent for payment of the CVR Payment Amount, without interest, but such Holder will have no greater rights against the Parent than those accorded to general unsecured creditors of the Parent under applicable Law.

(e) None of the Parent, any of its Affiliates, or the Rights Agent will be liable to any Person in respect of the CVR Payment Amount delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If, despite the Parent’s, any of its Affiliates’ or the Rights Agent’s commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the CVR Payment Amount to the applicable Holder, the CVR Payment Amount has not been paid prior to six (6) years after the applicable CVR Payment Date (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the CVR Payment Amount would otherwise escheat to any Governmental Body), the CVR Payment Amount will become the property of the Parent, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. If the CVR Payment Amount does not become the property of the Parent as per applicable Law upon transfer by the Rights Agent, such Holder will thereafter look only to the Parent for payment of the CVR Payment Amount, without interest, and the Parent will be responsible for escheatment to the applicable Governmental Body. The Rights Agent will not be responsible for escheatment of abandoned property except in the case that the Parent is unable to provide the Rights Agent with the applicable wire instructions to transfer such property to the Parent before the CVR Proceeds would escheat to the applicable Governmental Body. In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligation herein, the Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Rights Agent with respect to any liability, penalty, cost or expense the Rights Agent may incur or be subject to in connection with transferring such property to the Parent.

Section 2.5 No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest.

(a) If and when issued, the CVRs will not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest will not accrue on any amounts payable in respect of CVRs to any Holder.

(b) If and when issued, the CVRs will not represent any equity or ownership interest in the Parent or in any constituent company to the Merger. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that a CVR shall not constitute a security of the Parent.

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon any Holder, by virtue of the CVRs, any rights or obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever as a shareholder of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries either at law or in equity. The rights of any Holder and the obligations of the Parent and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and controlling Persons are contract rights limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(d) It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the CVRs and the possibility of any payment hereunder with respect thereto are highly speculative and subject to numerous factors outside of the Parent’s control, and there is no assurance that Holders will receive any payments under this Agreement or in connection with the CVRs. Each Holder acknowledges that it is highly possible that no Parent Legacy Transaction will occur prior to the expiration of the Parent Legacy Transaction Period and that there will not be any Gross Proceeds that may be the subject of a CVR Payment Amount. It is further acknowledged and agreed that neither the Parent nor its Affiliates owe, by virtue of their obligations under this Agreement, a fiduciary duty or any implied duties to the Holders and the parties hereto intend solely the express provisions of this Agreement to govern their contractual relationship with respect to the CVRs. It is acknowledged and agreed that this Section 2.5(d) is an essential and material term of this Agreement and that in no event shall the Parent, its board of directors or its officers and Affiliates be deemed to have any fiduciary or similar duties to any Holder by virtue of this Agreement.

Section 2.6 Ability to Abandon CVR. A Holder may at any time, at such Holder’s option, abandon all of such Holder’s remaining rights represented by CVRs by transferring such CVR to the Parent or a Person nominated in writing by the Parent (with written notice thereof from the Parent to the Representative and the Rights Agent) without consideration in compensation therefor, and such rights will be cancelled, with the Rights Agent being promptly notified in writing by the Parent of such transfer and cancellation. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to prohibit the Parent or its Affiliates from offering to acquire or acquiring CVRs, in private transactions or otherwise, for consideration in its sole discretion.

Section 2.7 Tax Matters.

(a) The Parent and the Representative intend that, (i) for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, the issuance of the CVRs pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement is intended to be treated as a distribution of property (and not debt or equity of the Parent) by the Parent to its shareholders governed by Section 301 of the Code and Canadian tax treatment and (ii) for all applicable Canadian, U.S. federal and applicable provincial, state and local income Tax purposes, any CVR Payment Amount (if any) is intended to be treated as a contractual payment pursuant to the rights afforded by this Agreement to the Holder and not as a distribution by the Parent in respect of common shares in the Parent. The Parent and its Affiliates (including the Parent after the Merger) shall (and the Parent shall instruct the Rights Agent to) report to the extent required by applicable Law for all Tax purposes in a manner consistent with the foregoing, and none of the parties will take any position to the contrary on any Canadian, U.S. federal, state and local Tax Returns or for other Canadian, U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by changes in applicable Law or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or a similar determination under applicable state or local Law).

(b) In addition to any Permitted Deductions, the Parent and its Affiliates (including the Parent after the Merger) and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to, and the Parent will instruct the Rights Agent or its applicable Affiliate to, deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from each CVR Payment Amount or any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld therefrom under applicable Tax Law. Prior to making (or causing to be made) any Tax deduction or withholding pursuant to this Section 2.7(b), the Rights Agent will (and the Parent shall instruct the Rights Agent to) provide the opportunity for the Holders to provide properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 or applicable Forms W-8, as applicable, or any other reasonably appropriate forms or information from Holders in order to eliminate or reduce withholding. The Rights Agent shall and the Parent shall (or shall cause its applicable Affiliate to), as applicable, promptly and timely remit, or cause to be promptly and timely remitted, any amounts withheld in respect of Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Body. To the extent any amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. Promptly following such withholding, the Parent will (or will instruct its applicable Affiliate or the Rights Agent to) deliver to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid reasonably acceptable evidence of such withholding. Any amounts not withheld by the Parent or the Paying Agent on the issuance of CVRs to the Holders or any payments to the Holders under this Agreement (including CVR Payment Amounts) and subsequently determined to have been required to be withheld by the Parent by any relevant governmental entity shall be paid by the Holders through a deduction from future CVR Payment Amounts payable to the applicable Holder(s). In connection with the distribution of CVRs to the Holders, the Parent, the Paying Agent and the Representative shall be entitled to make reasonable estimations of the Parent’s “earnings and profits” (as such term is defined for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (including the adjustments described in Section 312 of the Code), and shall be entitled to adopt the withholding Tax procedures described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-3(c)(2)(ii) in connection with the foregoing).

(d) The Rights Agent may engage and consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of such counsel will, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct (in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the Rights Agent, be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or not taken by the Rights Agent in reliance thereon.

(e) Any permissive rights of the Rights Agent hereunder will not be construed as a duty.

(f) The Rights Agent will not be required to give any note or surety in respect of the execution of its powers or otherwise under this Agreement.

(c) If the Rights Agent resigns, is removed or becomes incapable of acting, the Parent and the Representative will promptly jointly appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Parent and the Representative fail to make such appointment within a period of thirty (30) days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then the incumbent Rights Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent.

COVENANTS

Section 4.1 List of Holders. The Parent will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Rights Agent, in such form as the Parent receives from the Parent’s transfer agent (or other agent performing similar services for the Parent), the names and addresses of the Holders within fifteen (15) Business Days following the date of the First Effective Time.

Section 4.2 No Obligations of Public Parent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and for the avoidance of doubt, (a) the Parent and its Affiliates shall have the power and right to control all aspects of their businesses and operations (and all of their assets and products), and subject to its compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Parent and its Affiliates may exercise or refrain from exercising such power and right as it may deem appropriate and in the best overall interests of the Parent and its Affiliates and its and their stockholders, rather than the interest of the Holders, (b) none of the Parent or any of its Affiliates (or any directors, officer, employee, or other representative of the foregoing) owes any fiduciary duty or similar duty to any Holder in respect of the Parent Legacy Business, and (c) following the Parent Legacy Transaction Period, the Parent shall be permitted to take any action in respect of the Parent Legacy Business in order to satisfy any wind-down and termination Liabilities of the Parent Legacy Business. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Parent Legacy Transaction Period, the Parent shall not be required to use any efforts to pursue one or more Parent Legacy Transactions with respect to the Parent Legacy Business. Without limiting the foregoing, during the Parent Legacy Transaction Period, the Parent shall expend up to $100,000 (the “CVR Expense Cap”) for costs and expenses associated with the retention of an employee or consultant of the Parent for the purpose of business development efforts related to the Parent Legacy Business and related activities, including seeking and negotiating and, with the prior written consent of the Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), executing Parent Legacy Transaction Agreements, which amount shall be included as a deduction in the determination of the Parent Net Cash in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at the end of the Parent Legacy Transaction Period, the amount, if any, by which the CVR Expense Cap exceeds the aggregate amount of costs and expenses associated with the retention of an employee or consultant of the Parent for the purpose of business development efforts related to the Parent Legacy Business and related activities, including seeking and negotiating and, with the prior written consent of the Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), executing Parent Legacy Transaction Agreements, shall constitute Net Proceeds and shall be payable as CVR Proceeds to the Holders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to: act in good faith to complete a Parent Legacy Transaction (including to use commercially reasonable efforts during the Parent Legacy Transaction Period to maintain the intellectual property (including patents) of the Parent Legacy Business in existence on or prior to the First Effective Time) and not take any action or fail to take any action, in either case, with the primary purpose (and not merely the effect) of avoiding, or intending to prevent or materially delay, (x) during the Parent Legacy Transaction Period, the entry into any Parent Legacy Transaction Agreement, or (y) during the CVR Term, the receipt of Gross Proceeds or the payment of any CVR Proceeds.

Section 4.3 Books and Records. Until the end of the CVR Term, the Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep true, complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to enable the Holders and the Rights Agent to confirm the applicable CVR Payment Amount payable hereunder in accordance with the terms specified in this Agreement.

Section 4.4 Audits. Until the expiration of this Agreement and for a period of the later of one (1) year thereafter or as required by applicable Law (the “Audit Right End Date”), the Parent shall keep complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to support the accuracy of the payments due hereunder. The Representative shall have the right to cause the Accounting Firm to audit such records for the sole purpose of confirming payments for a period covering not more than the date commencing with the first CVR Payment Date and ending on the last day of the CVR Term. The Parent may require the Accounting Firm to execute a reasonable confidentiality agreement with the Parent prior to commencing the audit. The Accounting Firm shall disclose to Rights Agent or the Representative, as applicable, only whether the reports are correct or not and the specific details concerning any discrepancies. No other information shall be shared. Such audits may be conducted during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to the Parent, but no more than frequently than once per year. No accounting period of the Parent shall be subject to audit more than one time by the Representative, as applicable, unless after an accounting period has been audited by the Representative, as applicable, the Parent restates its financial results for such accounting period, in which event the Representative, as applicable, may conduct a second audit of such accounting period in accordance with this Section 4.4. Adjustments (including remittances of underpayments or overpayments disclosed by such audit) shall be made by the Parent to reflect the results of such audit, which adjustments shall be paid promptly following receipt of an invoice therefor. Whenever such an adjustment is made, the Parent shall promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, and a brief, reasonably detailed statement of the facts, computation and methodology accounting for such adjustment to the extent not already reflected in the audit report and promptly file with the Rights Agent a copy of such report and promptly deliver to the Rights Agent a revised CVR Payment Notice for the applicable CVR Proceeds. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such report and on any adjustment or statement therein contained and shall have no duty or liability with respect to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment or any such event unless and until it shall have received such report. Absent manifest error, the decision of the Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on Parent and the Holders, shall be non-appealable and shall not be subject to further review. The Representative shall bear the full cost and expense of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by Parent of ten percent (10%) or more of the CVR Payment Amount due under this Agreement, in which case the Parent shall bear the full cost and expense of such audit. The Rights Agent shall be entitled to rely on any audit report delivered by the independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 4.4.

Section 4.5 Representative. Certain Holders may enter into an engagement agreement (the “Representative Engagement Agreement”) with the Representative and provide direction to the Representative in connection with its services under this Agreement and the Representative Engagement Agreement (such Holders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Representative nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Representative Group”), shall be liable to any Holder for any action or failure to act in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Representative’s responsibilities hereunder or under the Representative Engagement Agreement, unless and only to the extent such action or failure to act constitutes gross negligence, fraud, willful breach or willful or intentional misconduct. The Holders shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Representative Group from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, costs, expenses (including fees, disbursements and costs of counsel and other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers), judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement (collectively, the “Representative Expenses”) incurred without gross negligence, fraud, willful breach or willful or intentional misconduct on the part of the Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder or its duties (or any duties of any member of the Advisory Group) under the Representative Engagement Agreement. Such Representative Expenses may be recovered first, from the Representative Expense Fund, second, from any distribution of CVR Payment Amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders at the time of distribution, and third, directly from the Holders. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Representative or its duties (or any duties of any member of the Advisory Group) under the Representative Engagement Agreement or any termination of this Agreement or the Representative Engagement Agreement. The Holders acknowledge that the Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Furthermore, the Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its reasonable determination, are sufficient to protect the Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Representative in performing such actions. The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Representative Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Holder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Holder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the CVR Proceeds. Following the designation of the Representative, the Parent shall promptly wire to the Representative $75,000, which shall be held by the Representative in a segregated client account and shall be used (A) for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Representative for any Representative Expenses not otherwise reimbursed by the Parent that are incurred pursuant to this Agreement or the Representative Engagement Agreement, or (B) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group (such fund, the “Representative Expense Fund”). The Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Representative Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence, fraud, willful breach or willful or intentional misconduct. The Representative is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Representative Expense Fund and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations with respect to the Representative Expense Fund. The Holders will not receive any interest on the Representative Expense Fund and assign to the Representative any such interest. Subject to the prior written approval of the Advisory Group, the Representative may instruct the Rights Agent to contribute funds to the Representative Expense Fund from the CVR Payment Amounts otherwise distributable to any Holders, on a pro rata basis. As soon as reasonably determined by the Representative that the Representative Expense Fund is no longer required to be withheld, the Representative shall distribute the remaining Representative Expense Fund, if any, to the Rights Agent for further distribution to the Holders in such proportions as though the amount of the remaining Representative Expense Fund constituted CVR Proceeds hereunder (provided, that, any amounts remaining from the amounts contributed to the Representative Expense Fund from the CVR Payment Amounts otherwise distributable to any Holders pursuant to the previous sentence shall first be distributed to such Holders in proportion to such Holders’ respective contributions).

Section 4.6 Payment of CVR Payment Amounts. The Parent shall, promptly and in any event within five (5) Business Days following receipt of a payment of CVR Proceeds, deposit with the Rights Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for payment to the Holders in accordance with Section 2.4, the aggregate amount necessary to pay the CVR Payment Amount to each Holder; provided, that the Parent shall aggregate multiple payments of CVR Proceeds until the earlier to occur of (i) the aggregate amount of such CVR Proceeds reaching $100,000, or (ii) one hundred twenty (120) days following the applicable CVR Payment Date and that such exception does not apply to the final payment of CVR Proceeds which shall occur no later than thirty (30) days following the applicable CVR Payment Date; provided, that the Parent shall provide the Representative with written notice within five (5) Business Days each time Gross Proceeds are received but held pending the aggregation threshold set forth in this proviso. Upon such instruction, the CVR Agent shall cause to be mailed to the address of each Holder last appearing on the CVR Register (i) a copy of the CVR Payment Notice, and (ii) a cheque in the name of such Holder representing the CVR Payment Amount payable to the holder in accordance with the calculations set out in the CVR Payment Notice. It is agreed that cheques will be drawn on a designated account maintained by the CVR Agent.

Section 4.7 Prohibited Actions. Unless approved by the Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), prior to the end of the CVR Term, the Parent shall not grant any lien, security interest, pledge or similar interest solely in respect of the Parent Legacy Business or any Net Proceeds separate and apart from any other assets of the Parent.

The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall initially be set at the discretion of each Investor to a percentage designated by such Investor on its signature page hereto between 0% and 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Initial Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Securities”); provided that such percentage shall be set at 9.99% for any Investor that does not make such designation on its signature page hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by written notice to the Company, any Investor may reset the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage to a higher or lower percentage, not to exceed 19.99%; provided that any increase prior to the Closing will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such written notice is delivered to the Company. Upon such a change by an Investor of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation may not be further amended by such Investor without first providing the minimum notice required by this Section 2.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, for any Investor that has provided notice to the Company that this sentence shall apply to it, (i) the Investor shall not be required to purchase Pre-Funded Warrants and (ii) the Company shall not issue or sell, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire, any Initial Shares which, when aggregated with all shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor of more than 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after giving effect to the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the number of Initial Shares and the Aggregate Purchase Amount for such Investor shall be reduced accordingly.

2.2 Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5.14, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Securities (the “Closing” and the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”) shall occur remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures immediately prior to the First Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or at such other time as agreed to by the Company and the Investor Majority. Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall provide written notice to the Investors (the “Closing Notice”) of the anticipated Closing Date and the wire instructions for delivery of the Aggregate Purchase Amount. At the Closing, the Securities shall be issued and registered in the name of such Investor, or in such nominee name(s) as designated by such Investor, representing the number and type of Securities to be purchased by such Investor at such Closing as set forth in Exhibit A, in each case against payment to the Company of the purchase price therefor (the “Aggregate Purchase Amount”) in full, either by (x) wire transfer to the Company of immediately available funds (a “Wire”), at or prior to the Closing, in accordance with wire instructions provided by the Company to the Investors in the Closing Notice; (y) the cancellation of Convertible Securities or other debt of the Company or its Subsidiaries (including any outstanding principal, interest or any other amounts due thereon) set forth under the heading “Convertible Securities Amount” and opposite such Investor’s name in Exhibit A (any such cancellation, a “Contribution”); or (z) a combination of such methods. On the Closing Date, the Company will (A) cause the Transfer Agent to issue the Initial Shares in book-entry form, free and clear of all restrictive and other legends (except as expressly provided in Section 4.10 hereof) and the Company shall provide evidence of such issuance from the Company’s Transfer Agent as soon as reasonably practical following the Closing Date to each Investor and (B) deliver to such Investor (or such Investor’s designated custodian per its delivery instructions), or in such nominee name(s) as designated by such Investor, a Pre-Funded Warrant exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock as set forth in Exhibit A with respect to such Investor. If the Closing has not occurred within two (2) Business Days after the expected Closing Date, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and such Investor, the Company shall promptly (but no later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return the previously wired Aggregate Purchase Amount to each respective Investor by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by each Investor, and any book entries for the Securities shall be deemed cancelled; provided that, unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 7, such return of funds shall not terminate this Agreement or relieve such Investor of its obligation to purchase, or the Company of its obligation to issue and sell, the Securities at the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Company may amend Exhibit A up to three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, without the consent of the other parties hereto, to reflect the number of Securities purchased, the Aggregate Purchase Amount to be paid and the Convertible Securities Amount to be Contributed, in each case, by each applicable Investor (provided that, except as contemplated herein, no Investor’s aggregate commitment amount set forth under the heading “Commitment Amount” as set forth on Exhibit A may be reduced or increased without such Investor’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and shall provide such updated Exhibit A to an Investor upon request, and (ii), as may be agreed to among the Company and one or more Investors, if an Investor is (a) an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (b) advised by an investment adviser subject to regulation under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or (c) otherwise subject to internal policies and/or procedures relating to the timing of funding and issuance of securities, such Investor shall not be required to wire its Aggregate Purchase Amount until it confirms receipt of evidence of the issuance of such Investor’s Initial Shares from the Transfer Agent in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Investor (and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver such evidence) and, if applicable, copies of such Investor’s Pre-Funded Warrants).

2.3 Conversion and Termination of Convertible Securities. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, by executing and delivering this Agreement, each Investor holding one or more Convertible Securities prior to the Closing hereby irrevocably agrees that:

(a) the aggregate amount of all such Convertible Securities (including any outstanding principal, interest or any other amounts) held by such Investor is set forth under the heading “Convertible Securities Amount” and opposite such Investor’s name in Exhibit A;

(b) such Investor is the sole owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Convertible Securities corresponding to the amounts set forth under the heading “Convertible Securities Amount” and opposite such Investor’s name in Exhibit A;

(c) at the Closing, (i) all of such Investor’s Convertible Securities will automatically and without any action on the part of such Investor convert into that number of Securities as is calculated in accordance with Section 2.1 based on such Investor’s Aggregate Purchase Amount (whether paid via Wire or Contribution), regardless of whether any such Convertible Securities or an affidavit of loss therefor is actually delivered in original or other form to the Company, and (ii) any original Convertible Securities held by (or delivered, electronically or otherwise, to) the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be cancelled (and marked cancelled) by the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, upon or following the Closing;

(d) with respect to any Contribution by such Investor, (i) such Investor (on behalf of itself and all beneficial owners of such Investor’s Convertible Securities) and Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby agree that any Convertible Securities that are Contributed hereby are and will be deemed for all purposes to have been amended and modified by virtue hereof to the full extent necessary to permit and facilitate their conversion as provided in this Agreement into Securities and (ii) such Investor’s Securities are issued in full and complete discharge and satisfaction of all obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable (including any outstanding principal, interest or any other amounts) under such Investor’s Convertible Securities, and such Convertible Securities will be terminated in full and will be null, void and of no further force or effect automatically immediately upon the Closing, provided that the foregoing will not impair the right of such Investor to receive the applicable number of Securities calculated in accordance with Section 2.1 above; and

(e) the Company and its Subsidiaries, affiliates, and agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts deliverable in satisfaction of such Investor’s Convertible Securities (including any Securities otherwise issuable with respect thereto) such amounts, if any, as are required to be deducted and withheld under the Code or any other applicable tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and duly paid over to the appropriate tax authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered to the person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. Each person holding Convertible Securities shall, upon request, use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the applicable withholding agent with all necessary tax forms, including a duly executed IRS Form W-9 or appropriate version of IRS Form W-8, as applicable. Prior to withholding any amounts pursuant to this Section 2.3(e), the Company (and its Subsidiaries, affiliates, and agents) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify such Investor, and the Company and such Investor shall cooperate in good faith to reduce or eliminate any such withholding.

The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification, except where such failure to be in good standing or to have such power and authority or to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No disclosure or offering document has been prepared by any Placement Agent or any of their respective affiliates in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities. Neither any of the Placement Agents nor any of their respective affiliates have made or make any representation as to the quality or value of the Securities and the Placement Agents and their respective affiliates may have acquired non-public information with respect to the Company which the Investor agrees need not be provided to it.
