To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(e)             The Company has made available a true, correct and complete list of all outstanding Company Equity Awards as of the Capitalization Date setting forth: (i) the form of the Company Equity Award (including whether the Company Option is a non-qualified stock option or an incentive stock option for purposes of Section 422 of the Code) and the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each Company Equity Award, (ii) the holder’s name, grant date, applicable vesting schedule (including acceleration rights thereof), and the per-share exercise price with respect to each Company Option, (iii) the Company Equity Plan pursuant to which each Company Option was granted, and (iv) for each holder who is not a current employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries, whether such Person was an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries on or since the grant date of the Company Option.

Each Company Equity Award, (i) was duly authorized no later than the date on which the grant was by its terms effective (the “Grant Date”) by all necessary corporate action, (ii) was granted in compliance with all applicable Laws (including all applicable federal, state and local Securities Laws) and all the terms and conditions of the applicable Company Equity Plan, and (iii) with respect to Company Options, has a per-share exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of a share of Company Common Stock on the Grant Date and no modifications within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code have been made to any Company Options following the Grant Date, and (iv) does not trigger any obligation or liability for the holder thereof under Code Section 409A of the Code.

None of the Company or its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has withdrawn at any time in the six (6) years prior to the date of this Agreement from any Multiemployer Plan, or incurred any withdrawal liability which remains unsatisfied, and no events have occurred and no circumstances exist that could reasonably be expected to result in any such liability to the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(g)             Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby will (either alone or in combination with another event) (i) result in any material payment becoming due, or material increase the amount of any compensation or benefits due, to any Company Service Provider or with respect to any Company Benefit Plan; (ii) increase any material benefits, payable under any Company Benefit Plan; (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any material compensation or benefits, or the forgiveness of any material amount of indebtedness of any Company Service Provider; or (iv) result in an obligation to fund or otherwise set aside assets to secure to any extent any of the obligations under any material Company Benefit Plan. No Person is entitled to receive any additional payment (including any Tax gross-up or other payment) from the Company or its Subsidiaries as a result of the imposition of the excise Taxes required by Section 4999 of the Code or any Taxes required by Section 409A of the Code.

(h)             The consummation of the Transactions will not result in a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or its Subsidiaries for purposes of Section 280G or Section 409A of the Code.

(a)            From and after the First Effective Time, SPAC agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director, manager and officer of the Company and SPAC and each of their respective Subsidiaries (each an “Indemnified Person”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the First Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the First Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company, SPAC or their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, would have been permitted under applicable Law and their respective certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents or indemnification agreements in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such Person (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law). Without limiting the foregoing, SPAC shall cause the Surviving Entity and each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain for a period of not less than six years from the First Effective Time provisions in its certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other organizational documents concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of the Indemnified Persons that are no less favorable to such Persons than the provisions of such certificates of incorporation, bylaws and other organizational documents as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person thereunder, in each case, except as required by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any claims made or Actions commenced during such six-year period shall continue until the final disposition of such claim or Action.

(b)            At or prior to the Closing, SPAC shall, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to obtain a “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “D&O Tail”) covering those Persons who are currently covered by the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (true, correct and complete copies of which have been heretofore made available to SPAC or its agents or Representatives) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the First Effective Time. Such D&O Tail shall remain in effect for a period of six (6) years following the First Effective Time and shall be on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage, except that in no event shall SPAC or its Subsidiaries be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the aggregate annual premium payable by the Company and its Subsidiaries for such insurance policy for the year ended December 31, 2026 (such amount, the “Premium Cap”); provided, however, that (i) SPAC shall be required to cause coverage to be extended under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy containing terms not materially less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the First Effective Time and (ii) if any claim is asserted or made within such six-year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 8.02 shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof. If such minimum coverage is or becomes unavailable at the Premium Cap, then any such D&O Tail shall contain the maximum coverage available at such Premium Cap. SPAC shall maintain the D&O Tail in full force and effect for its full term and shall cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Entity.

(c)            SPAC and the Company hereby acknowledge (on behalf of themselves and their respective Subsidiaries) that the Indemnified Persons under this Section 8.02 may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by current stockholders, members, or other Affiliates of such stockholders (“Indemnitee Affiliates”) separate from the indemnification obligations of SPAC, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries hereunder. The Parties hereby agree (i) that SPAC, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries are the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Indemnified Persons under this Section 8.02 are primary and any obligation of any Indemnitee Affiliate to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Persons under this Section 8.02 are secondary), (ii) that SPAC, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Indemnified Persons under this Section 8.02 and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and required by SPAC’s, the Company’s and their respective Subsidiaries’ governing documents or any director or officer indemnification agreements, without regard to any rights the Indemnified Persons under this Section 8.02 may have against any Indemnitee Affiliate, and (iii) that the Parties (on behalf of themselves and their respective Subsidiaries) irrevocably waive, relinquish and release the Indemnitee Affiliates from any and all claims against the Indemnitee Affiliates for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.

(d)            Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 8.02 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on SPAC, the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity and all successors and assigns of SPAC, the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity. In the event that SPAC, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of SPAC, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 8.02.

Section 8.03.         Conduct of SPAC During the Interim Period.

(d)            by written notice from either the Company or SPAC to the other if the approval of the SPAC Stockholder Matters required to consummate the Transactions by the SPAC Stockholders is not obtained at the Special Meeting (subject to any adjournment, postponement or recess of the meeting); provided, that, the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(d) shall not be available to SPAC if, at the time of such termination, SPAC is in breach of Section 9.02;

(e)            by written notice from SPAC to the Company in the event of a Written Consent Failure; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement on account of a Written Consent Failure shall not be available if the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained prior to SPAC providing notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement on account of a Written Consent Failure; or

Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 11.02 or Section 12.13, in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability under this Agreement on the part of any Party or its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, Representatives or stockholders, other than liability of any Party for any intentional and willful breach of this Agreement by such Party occurring prior to such termination.

Section 12.04.        Rights of Third Parties.

Section 12.05.       Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions whether or not the Transactions shall be consummated, including all fees of its legal counsel, financial advisers and accountants; provided, that if the Closing occurs, SPAC shall bear and pay at or promptly after Closing, all SPAC Transaction Expenses and all Company Transaction Expenses; provided, further, that (i) the Company shall pay all fees and expenses to Wilson in accordance with that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2026, by and among SPAC, the Company and Wilson and (ii) the Company shall pay all fees and expenses arising in connection with the fairness opinion of Houlihan Capital, LLC pursuant to Section 6.23.

Section 12.07.       Captions; Counterparts. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 12.08.       Schedules and Exhibits. All references herein to Schedules and Exhibits shall be deemed references to such parts of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require. Any disclosure made by a Party in the Schedules with reference to any section or schedule of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to all other sections or schedules to which such disclosure may apply solely to the extent the relevance of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure in such Schedule. Certain information set forth in the Schedules is included solely for informational purposes.

Section 12.09.       Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement) and that certain Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2026, between SPAC and the Company (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), constitute the entire agreement among the Parties relating to the Transactions and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the Transactions. No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exist between the Parties except as expressly set forth or referenced in this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 12.10.       Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement. The approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of any of the Parties shall not restrict the ability of the board of directors (or other body performing similar functions) of any of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.01 or to cause such Party to enter into an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.10.

Section 12.11.       Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.

Section 12.12.       Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury. Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions may be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware), and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any Party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other Party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this Section 12.12. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

Section 12.13.       Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) or any Transaction Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.01, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement or under applicable Law, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement in accordance with this Section 12.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction. Each Party agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the other in seeking and agreeing to an expedited schedule in any litigation seeking an injunction or order of specific performance.

Section 12.14.       Non-Recourse. Subject in all respect to the last sentence of this Section 12.14, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of Action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except to the extent a Party has undertaken specific obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any Party and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Company, SPAC or Merger Subs under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12.14 shall limit, amend or waive any rights or obligations of any party to any Transaction Agreement.

Section 12.15.       Non-survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 11.02 and except in the case of a claim, action or liability against a party in respect of such Party’s Fraud, none of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and other provisions, shall survive the Closing and shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the First Effective Time (and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect thereof), except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part at or after the Closing and then only with respect to any breaches occurring at or after the Closing and (b) this ‎‎ARTICLE 12.

Section 12.16.        Acknowledgements.

(a)            Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates and its and their respective, stockholders, shareholders, partners, members and Representatives) that: (i) it has conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the other Parties (and their respective Subsidiaries) and has been afforded satisfactory access to the books and records, facilities and personnel of the other Parties (and their respective Subsidiaries) for purposes of conducting such investigation; (ii) the Company Representations constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Company in connection with the Transactions; (iii) the SPAC Party Representations constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of SPAC and Merger Subs; (iv) except for the Company Representations by the Company and the SPAC Party Representations by the SPAC Parties, none of the Parties or any other Person makes, or has made, any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to any Party (or any Party’s Subsidiaries), including any implied warranty or representation as to condition, merchantability, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose or trade as to any of the assets of such Party or its Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including (x) regarding the completeness or accuracy of, or any omission to state or to disclose, any information, including in the estimates, projections or forecasts or any other information, document or material provided to or made available to any Party or their respective Affiliates or Representatives in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the Transactions, including meetings, calls or correspondence with management of any Party (or any Party’s Subsidiaries), and (y) any relating to the future or historical business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of any Party (or its Subsidiaries), or the quality, quantity or condition of any Party’s or its Subsidiaries’ assets) are specifically disclaimed by all Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and all other Persons (including the Representatives and Affiliates of any Party or its Subsidiaries); (v) Representatives of SPAC or the Company have not made, and are not making, any representation or warranty whatsoever to any Party or its Affiliates and shall not be liable in respect of the accuracy or completeness of any information provided to any Party or its Affiliates; and (vi) each Party and its respective Affiliates are not relying on any representations and warranties in connection with the Transactions except the Company Representations by the Company and the SPAC Party Representations by the SPAC Parties. The foregoing does not limit any rights of any Party pursuant to any other Transaction Agreement against any other Party pursuant to such Transaction Agreement to which it is a party or an express third party beneficiary thereof. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, SPAC understands and agrees that any assets, properties and business of the Company and its Subsidiaries are furnished “as is”, “where is” and subject to and except for the Company Representations by the Company or as provided in any certificate delivered in accordance with Section 10.02(d), with all faults and without any other representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever. Nothing in this Section 12.16 shall relieve any Party of liability in the case of Fraud committed by such Party.

(b)            Effective upon Closing, except with respect to those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms expressly apply at or after the Closing, each of the Parties waives, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates and Representatives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, Actions and causes of action it may have against any other Party or their respective Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former Affiliates or Representatives relating to the operation of any Party or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Schedules, or the Exhibits to this Agreement, whether arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign statute, Law, ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it will not assert, institute or maintain any Action, suit, investigation, or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross-claim, or defense, regardless of the legal or equitable theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, that makes any claim contrary to the agreements and covenants set forth in this Section 12.16. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 12.16(b) shall preclude any Party from seeking any remedy for Fraud by a Party solely and exclusively with respect to the making of any representation or warranty by it in ‎‎ARTICLE 5 or ‎‎ARTICLE 6 (as applicable). Each Party shall have the right to enforce this Section 12.16 on behalf of any Person that would be benefitted or protected by this Section 12.16 if they were a party hereto. The foregoing agreements, acknowledgements, disclaimers and waivers are irrevocable. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 12.16 shall limit, modify, restrict or operate as a waiver with respect to, any rights any Party may have under any written agreement entered into in connection with the transactions that are contemplated by this Agreement, including any other Transaction Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any privileged communications or information shared by SPAC prior to the Closing with the Company under a common interest agreement shall remain the privileged communications or information of the Surviving Entity.

Section 12.18.       No Outside Reliance. Notwithstanding anything contained in ARTICLE 5 or ‎‎ARTICLE 6 or any other provision hereof, each of the SPAC Parties, the Company, and any of their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, equityholders, partners, members or representatives, acknowledge and agree that such party has made its own investigation of the Company or the SPAC, as applicable, and that neither party nor any of its Affiliates, agents or representatives is making any representation or warranty whatsoever, express or implied, beyond those expressly given by the Company in ‎‎ARTICLE 5, or the SPAC Parties in ARTICLE 6, including any implied warranty or representation as to condition, merchantability, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose or trade as to any of the assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood that any cost estimates, financial or other projections or other predictions that may be contained or referred to in the Company Disclosure Letter or elsewhere, as well as any information, documents or other materials (including any such materials contained in any “data room” (whether or not accessed by the SPAC or its representatives) or reviewed by SPAC pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement) or management presentations that have been or shall hereafter be provided to SPAC or any of its Affiliates, agents or representatives are not and will not be deemed to be representations or warranties of the Company, and no representation or warranty is made as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the foregoing except as may be expressly set forth in ‎‎ARTICLE 5 of this Agreement.

Section 4.4            Irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, but subject to the terms of any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall vote together, and not as separate classes, on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock.

Section 4.5            Each outstanding share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for their vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by applicable law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this certificate of incorporation (as amended from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series of Preferred Stock are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other affected series of Preferred Stock, to vote thereon pursuant to applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock).

Section 5. 

For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation, of its directors and stockholders, or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided that:

Section 5.1            Management of the Business.

Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board. Subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors that shall constitute the Board shall be fixed exclusively by the Board.

Section 5.2            Board of Directors

From and after the consummation of the Mergers (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (such time the “Second Effective Time”), subject to the rights of the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to such classes at the Second Effective Time. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Second Effective Time, the initial term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Second Effective Time, the initial term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Second Effective Time, the initial term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, each director shall serve until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall remove or shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 5.3            Removal of Directors

Subject to the rights of the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock to remove directors elected by such series of Preferred Stock, any individual director or the entire Board may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Section 5.4            Vacancies.

From and after the Second Effective Time, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law and subject to the rights of the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors or fill vacancies in respect of such directors, any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board, or by a sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected to fill a newly created directorship or vacancy in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders held to elect the class of directors to which such director is elected and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Section 5.5            Preferred Stockholders Election Rights.

Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more such other series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) applicable thereto. The number of directors that may be elected by the holders of any such series of Preferred Stock shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, and the total number of directors constituting the whole Board shall be automatically adjusted accordingly. Except as otherwise provided by the Board in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate (in which case each such director thereupon shall cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a director) and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be reduced accordingly.

Section 5.6            Bylaw Amendments.

The Board is expressly authorized and empowered to adopt, amend or repeal any provisions of the bylaws of the Corporation (as amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”) without the assent or vote of the stockholders in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or the Certificate of Incorporation. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

Section 5.7            Stockholder Actions.

a.               The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

b.             After the Second Effective Time, subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders and may not be effected by consent in lieu of a meeting.

c.             Subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Board and shall be called by the Secretary of the corporation upon the request of a majority of the directors then in office, but a special meeting may not be called by any other person or persons and any power of stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders is specifically denied. Only such business shall be considered at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been stated in the notice for such meeting.

Section 6. 

No director or officer of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal. Solely for purposes of this Section 6, “officer” shall have the meaning provided in Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL.

Section 7. 

Section 7.1            Any person or entity holding, owning, or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 7.2           The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal, at any time and from time to time, any provision contained in the Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, except as provided in Section 8.3, and all rights, preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon the stockholders, directors or any other persons whomsoever by and pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation are granted subject to this reservation. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, Section 242(d) of the DGCL shall apply to amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 7.3           Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of applicable law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or any certificate of designation filed with respect to a series of Preferred Stock, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66²/₃% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be required to alter, amend or repeal (whether by merger, consolidation, conversion or otherwise), or adopt any provision inconsistent with, Sections 5, 6 and this Section 7.

Section 8. 

Section 8.1           If any provision or provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of the Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(c)          A stockholder providing the written notice required by Section 3.2(b)(1) or 3.2(b)(2) shall update and supplement such notice in writing, if necessary, so that the information (other than the representations required by Section 3.2(b)(4)(E)) provided or required to be provided in such notice is true and correct in all material respects as of (i) the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting and (ii) the date that is five Business Days (as defined below) prior to the meeting and, in the event of any adjournment or postponement thereof, five Business Days prior to such adjourned or postponed meeting; provided, that no such update or supplement shall cure or affect the accuracy (or inaccuracy) of any representations made by any Proponent, any of its affiliates or associates, or a nominee or the validity (or invalidity) of any nomination or proposal that failed to comply with this Section 3.2 or is rendered invalid as a result of any inaccuracy therein.

In the case of an update and supplement pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 3.2(c), such update and supplement must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five Business Days after the later of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting or the public announcement of such record date.

(e)          To be eligible to be a nominee for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation pursuant to a nomination under clause (iii) of Section 3.2(a) or clause (ii) of Section 3.3(c), each Proponent must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Sections 3.2(b)(3), 3.2(d) or 3.3(c), as applicable) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a completed written questionnaire with respect to the background, qualifications, stock ownership and independence of such proposed nominee (in the form provided by the Secretary within 10 days following a written request therefor by a stockholder of record) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary within 10 days following written request therefor by a stockholder of record) that such person:

(i) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether oral or in writing) with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question that (x) has not been disclosed in the questionnaire or (y) could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law;

(ii) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether oral or in writing) with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director of the Corporation or a nominee that has not been disclosed in such questionnaire;

(iii) would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation (and a statement as to whether such person, if elected, intends to comply with), all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation that are publicly disclosed or which were provided by the Secretary with the written representation and agreement required by this Section 3.2(e) (together, the “Policies”); and

(iv) if elected as a director of the Corporation, intends to serve the entire term until the next meeting at which such candidate would face re-election.

(f)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Bylaws, unless otherwise required by applicable law, in the event that any Proponent (i) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the 1934 Act with respect to one or more proposed nominees and (ii) subsequently fails to

(x) comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the 1934 Act (or fails to timely provide reasonable evidence sufficient to satisfy the Corporation that such Proponent has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the 1934 Act in accordance with the next sentence) or

(y) inform the Corporation that they no longer plan to solicit proxies in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the 1934 Act by delivering a written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of such change,

then the nomination of each such proposed nominee shall be disregarded (and such nominee disqualified from standing for election or re-election), notwithstanding that the nominee is included (as applicable) as a nominee in the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials for any stockholder meeting (or any supplement thereto) and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of the election of such proposed nominees may have been received by the Corporation (which proxies and votes shall be disregarded).

If any Proponent provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the 1934 Act, such Proponent shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable meeting, reasonable evidence sufficient to demonstrate that it has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the 1934 Act.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and for the avoidance of doubt, the nomination of any person whose name is included (as applicable) as a nominee in the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials for any stockholder meeting (or any supplement thereto) as a result of any notice provided by any Proponent pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the 1934 Act with respect to such proposed nominee and whose nomination is not made by or at the direction of the Board or any authorized committee thereof shall not be deemed (for purposes of clause (i) of Section 3.2(a) or otherwise) to have been made pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) and any such nominee may only be nominated by a Proponent pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 3.2(a) and, in the case of a special meeting of stockholders, pursuant to and to the extent permitted under Section 3.3(c).

A person shall not be eligible for election or re-election as a director at an annual meeting unless the person is nominated in accordance with clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 3.2(a) and in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Section 3.2(b), Section 3.2(c), Section 3.2(d), Section 3.2(e) and Section 3.2(f), as applicable.

Except as otherwise required by applicable law, and subject to the supervision, direction and control of the Board of Directors, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made, or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in the Bylaws (including, without limitation, compliance with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the 1934 Act) and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with the Bylaws, or the Proponent does not act in accordance with the representations required in this Section 3.2, to declare that such proposal or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded (and such nominee disqualified from standing for election or re-election), or that such business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that such proposal or nomination is set forth in (as applicable) the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of such nomination or such business may have been solicited or received.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2, unless otherwise required by applicable law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination or proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded (and such nominee disqualified from standing for election or re-election) and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that such nomination or proposed business is set forth in (as applicable) the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of such vote may have been solicited or received by the Corporation.

In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of submitting a proposal to stockholders for the election of one or more directors, any such stockholder of record entitled to vote in such election of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if written notice setting forth the information required by Sections 3.2(b)(1) and 3.2(b)(4) shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90^th day prior to such meeting or (ii) the tenth day following the day on which the Corporation first makes a public announcement of the date of the special meeting at which directors are to be elected.

In no event shall an adjournment or a postponement (or the public announcement thereof) of a special meeting for which notice has been given, or for which a public announcement of the date of the meeting has been made by the Corporation, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(d)          A person shall not be eligible for election or re-election as a director at the special meeting unless the person is nominated either in accordance with clause (i) or clause (ii) of Section 3.3(c). Except as otherwise required by applicable law, and subject to the supervision, direction and control of the Board of Directors, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in the Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination is not in compliance with the Bylaws (including, without limitation, compliance with Rule 14a-19 under the 1934 Act), or if the Proponent does not act in accordance with the representations required in Section 3.2, to declare that such nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded (and such nominee disqualified from standing for election or re-election), notwithstanding that such nomination is set forth in (as applicable) the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of such nomination may have been solicited or received.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3, unless otherwise required by applicable law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded (and such nominee disqualified from standing for election or re-election), notwithstanding that the nomination is set forth (as applicable) in the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of such nomination may have been solicited or received by the Corporation.

(e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 3.2 and 3.3, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 3.2 and 3.3, and any failure to comply with such requirements shall be deemed a failure to comply with Sections 3.2 or 3.3, as applicable; provided, however, that, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, any references in the Bylaws to the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to proposals and/or nominations to be considered pursuant to Sections 3.2(a)(iii) and 3.3(c). Nothing in the Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights of holders of any class or series of preferred stock to nominate and elect directors pursuant to and to the extent provided in any applicable provision of the Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 3.4            Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, notice of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of such meeting. Such notice shall specify the date, time and place, if any, of the meeting, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such record date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at any such meeting, and, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes of the meeting. Notice shall be deemed given as provided in Section 232 of the DGCL.

Section 3.5            Quorum and Vote Required.

The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

Unless a different or minimum vote is provided by law or by applicable stock exchange rules, or by the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, in which case such different or minimum vote shall be the applicable vote on the matter, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on such matter, voting affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election of directors.

Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except as required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. Unless a different or minimum vote is provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws or any applicable stock exchange rules, in which case such different or minimum vote shall be the applicable vote on the matter, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority (or plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of the votes cast on such matter, voting affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) shall be the act of such class or classes or series.

Section 3.6           Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time either by the chairperson of the meeting or by the stockholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, voting affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes), whether or not a quorum is present. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication) notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed present in person and may vote at such meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken or are

(i) displayed, during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic network used to enable stockholders and proxy holders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication or

(ii) set forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with Section 3.4.

At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 3.7           Voting Rights. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or adjournment thereof, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the Corporation on the applicable record date shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. No proxy shall be voted after three years from its date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot. Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board.

The Corporation shall prepare, no later than the tenth day before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect all of the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date. Nothing in this Section 3.8 shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of ten days ending on the day before the meeting date:

The Board may, in its discretion, determine the method and designate the signatory officer or officers, or other person or persons, to execute, sign or endorse on behalf of the Corporation any corporate instrument or document, or to sign on behalf of the Corporation the corporate name without limitation, or to enter into contracts on behalf of the Corporation, except where otherwise provided by applicable law or the Bylaws, and such execution or signature shall be binding upon the Corporation.

(a)          All checks and drafts drawn on banks or other depositaries on funds to the credit of the Corporation or in special accounts of the Corporation shall be signed by such person or persons as the Board shall from time to time authorize so to do.

(b)          Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Board or otherwise required by applicable law, the execution, signing or endorsement of any corporate instrument or document by or on behalf of the Corporation may be effected manually, by facsimile or (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law and subject to such policies and procedures as the Corporation may have in effect from time to time) by electronic signature.

(c)          Unless authorized or ratified by the Board or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the Corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

Section 6.2            Voting of Securities Owned by the Corporation.

Section 7.

Shares Of Stock

Section 7.1           Form and Execution of Certificates. The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, or shall be uncertificated if so provided by resolution or resolutions of the Board. Certificates for the shares of stock of the Corporation, if any, shall be in such form as is consistent with the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock in the Corporation represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by or in the name of the Corporation by any two officers of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary), certifying the number, and the class or series, of shares owned by such holder in the Corporation in certificated form. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimiles. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.

Section 7.2            Lost Certificates. The Corporation may issue a new certificate or certificates or uncertificated shares in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. The Corporation may require, as a condition precedent to the issuance of a new certificate or certificates, the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or the owner’s legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond (or other adequate security) sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed or the issuance of such new certificate(s) or uncertificated shares.

Section 7.3            Transfers.

(a)          Transfers of record of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be made only upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized, and, in the case of stock represented by certificate, upon the surrender of a properly endorsed certificate or certificates for a like number of shares.

(b)          The Corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes or series of stock of the Corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the Corporation of any one or more classes or series owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL.

Section 7.4            Fixing Record Dates.

(a)          In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, subject to applicable law, not be more than 60 nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of such meeting, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(a).

(b)          In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating to such action.

Section 7.5            Lock-Up.

(a)          Subject to Section 7.5(b), the holders (the “Lock-Up Holders”) of shares of Common Stock (i) to be issued as consideration pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of [●], 2026, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Merger Agreement” and the transactions contemplated therein, the “Business Combination”), by and among the Corporation (formerly known as Spark I Acquisition Corporation (“Parent”)), ZincFive Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as ZincFive, Inc.), Spark I Acquisition Corporation Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, Spark I Acquisition Corporation Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, (ii) issued upon the settlement or exercise of stock options, restricted stock unit awards or other equity awards or warrants outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination that are assumed by the Corporation pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (iii) issued to the employees of the Corporation, or (iv) otherwise held by SLG SPAC Fund LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), the officers and directors of Sponsor or the Corporation, or its and their respective affiliates as of the Closing Date (such shares referred to in this Section 7.5(a)(i)-(iv), the “Lock-Up Shares”) may not Transfer any Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period (the “Lock-Up”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Corporation’s employee stock purchase plan shall not constitute Lock-Up Shares.

(b)          Notwithstanding Section 7.5(a), a Lock-Up Holder or, for the avoidance of doubt, its Permitted Transferees may Transfer Lock-Up Shares during the Lock-Up Period (i) in the case that such Lock-Up Holder or Permitted Transferee is an entity, (A) to another entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the 1933 Act) of the Lock-Up Holder or Permitted Transferee, or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the Lock-Up Holder or Permitted Transferee or affiliates of the Lock-Up Holder or Permitted Transferee or who shares a common investment advisor with the Lock-Up Holder or Permitted Transferee, (B) as part of a distribution to members, partners, shareholders or equity holders of the Lock-Up Holder or Permitted Transferee, (C) if such entity is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust, or (D) by virtue of the laws of the state of the entity’s organization and the entity’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the entity; (ii) in the case that such Lock-Up Holder or Permitted Transferee is an individual, (A) by gift to members of the individual’s immediate family (as defined below) or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (B) by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (C) by operation of law or pursuant to a court order, such as a qualified domestic relations order, divorce decree or separation agreement; (D) to a partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which the individual and/or the immediate family of the individual are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar interests; or (E) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a Transfer would be permissible under clauses (i)(A) through (ii)(D) above; (iii) upon the exercise of any options or warrants to purchase Common Stock or the vesting of stock awards of Common Stock (A) deemed to occur upon the “cashless” or “net” exercise of such options or warrants or (B) for the purpose of paying the exercise price of such options or warrants or to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to any equity incentive plans or arrangements of the Corporation or a subsidiary of the Corporation due as a result of the exercise of such options or warrants, the vesting of such options, warrants or stock awards, or as a result of the vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to such options, warrants or stock awards, it being understood that all shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise, vesting or transfer will remain subject to the restrictions of this Section 7.5 during the Lock-Up Period; (iv) to the Corporation pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect on the Closing Date that provides for the repurchase by the Corporation or forfeiture of the Lock-Up Holder’s Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock in connection with the termination of the Lock-Up Holder’s service to the Corporation; (v) related to the entry, by the Lock-Up Holder, at any time after the Closing Date, if then permitted by the Corporation, into any trading plan providing for the sale of Common Stock by the Lock-Up Holder, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the 1934 Act, provided, however, that such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period; (vi) to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, or local income tax obligations of the Lock-Up Holder (or its direct or indirect owners) arising from a change in the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) or the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”) after the date on which the Merger Agreement was executed by the parties, and such change prevents the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement from qualifying as a “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368 of the Code (and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement do not qualify for similar tax-free treatment pursuant to any successor or other provision of the Code or Regulations taking into account such changes), in each case solely and to the extent necessary to cover any tax liability as a direct result of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (vii) from and after the occurrence of a Triggering Event; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), the Lock-Up Shares Transferred to Permitted Transferees shall remain subject to the Lock-Up. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of clauses (i)(A) through (ii)(D) above, the Permitted Transferees must enter into a written agreement, in substantially the form of this Section 7.5 (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family members of the original Lock-Up Holder and not to the immediate family members of the transferee), agreeing to be bound by the Lock-Up.

(c)          In order to enforce this Section 7.5, the Corporation may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Lock-Up Shares until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

(d)          Notwithstanding the other provisions set forth in this Section 7.5, (i) to the extent that a Lock-Up Holder is not an affiliate of Parent or the Corporation, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to $2,500, calculated as of the Closing Date, rounded up to the nearest share, shall be excluded from the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.5 with respect to each such Lock-Up Holder and (ii) the Board (or, for the avoidance of doubt and to the fullest extent permitted by law, a duly authorized committee thereof) may, in its sole discretion, determine to waive, amend, or repeal any Lock-Up obligations set forth in this Section 7.5 solely for the purposes of complying with the Market Value of Unrestricted Publicly Held Shares (as such terms are defined in Listing Rule 5005 of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or any successor rule) requirement for initial or continued listing on the tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on which the Common Stock is then listed or proposed to be listed or to comply with the Corporation’s obligations under that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of [·], 2026, by and among the Corporation, ZincFive Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as ZincFive, Inc.) and the investors party thereto. Other than any exclusion, waiver, amendment repeal, termination or other release of the Lock-Up for any Lock-Up Holder provided for in the immediately foregoing sentence or in the final sentence of this Section 7.5(d), in the event that any Lock-Up Holder is granted a discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.5, such discretionary waiver or termination shall apply to each other Lock-Up Holder in the same proportion that the number of Lock-Up Shares held by the Lock-Up Holder with respect to which the Lock-Up is being terminated or waived bears to the total number of Lock-Up Shares then held by such Lock-Up Holder (a “Pro-rata Release”). A Pro-rata Release shall not be applied or required in the case of an early release of any Lock-Up Holder from the restrictions described in this Section 7.5 if such early release is made due to circumstances of an emergency or hardship, as determined by the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof in its sole judgment.

(e)          For purposes of this Section 7.5,

Section 7.6           Registered Stockholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

Section 7.7           Additional Powers of the Board. In addition to, and without limiting, the powers set forth in the Bylaws, the Board shall have power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as it shall deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer, and registration of certificates for shares of stock of the Corporation, including the use of uncertificated shares of stock, subject to the provisions of the DGCL, other applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws. The Board may appoint and remove transfer agents and registrars of transfers, and may require all stock certificates to bear the signature of any such transfer agent and/or any such registrar of transfers.

Section 8.

Other Securities Of The Corporation

Section 8.1            Execution of Other Securities. All bonds, debentures and other corporate securities of the Corporation, other than stock certificates (covered in Section 7.1), may be signed by the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or the President, or such other person as may be authorized by the Board; provided, however, that where any such bond, debenture or other corporate security shall be authenticated by the manual signature, or where permissible facsimile signature, of a trustee under an indenture pursuant to which such bond, debenture or other corporate security shall be issued, the signatures of the persons signing and attesting the corporate seal on such bond, debenture or other corporate security may be the imprinted facsimile of the signatures of such persons. Interest coupons appertaining to any such bond, debenture or other corporate security, authenticated by a trustee as aforesaid, shall be signed by the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation or such other person as may be authorized by the Board, or bear imprinted thereon the facsimile signature of such person. In case any officer who shall have signed or attested any bond, debenture or other corporate security, or whose facsimile signature shall appear thereon or on any such interest coupon, shall have ceased to be such officer before the bond, debenture or other corporate security so signed or attested shall have been delivered, such bond, debenture or other corporate security nevertheless may be adopted by the Corporation and issued and delivered as though the person who signed the same or whose facsimile signature shall have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer of the Corporation.

Section 9.

Dividends

Section 9.1            Declaration of Dividends. Dividends upon the capital stock of the Corporation, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law, if any, may be declared by the Board. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of capital stock or other securities of the Corporation, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law.

Section 9.2            Dividend Reserve. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board from time to time, in its absolute discretion, determines proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for such other purpose or purposes as the Board shall determine to be conducive to the interests of the Corporation, and the Board may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

Section 10.

Fiscal Year

Section 10.1         Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board and may be changed by the Board.

Section 11.

Indemnification

Section 11.1         Indemnification of Directors, Executive Officers, Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents.

(a)             Directors and Executive Officers. The Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in a Proceeding (as defined below), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or executive officer (for the purposes of this Section 11.1, “executive officer” has the meaning given in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of the Corporation, or while serving as a director or executive officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or executive officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or executive officer, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Corporation will not be required to indemnify or advance expenses to any director or executive officer in connection with any Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i) the Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board or (ii) the Proceeding (or part thereof) is initiated to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses as provided under Section 11.1(d) or is a compulsory counterclaim brought by such person.

Any reference to an officer of the Corporation in this Section 11.1 shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and any other officer of the Corporation appointed by the Board pursuant to Section 5 of these Bylaws, and any reference to an officer of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively to an officer appointed by the board of directors or equivalent governing body of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The fact that any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation or an employee of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, but not an officer thereof as described in the preceding sentence, has been given or has used the title of “Vice President” or any other title that could be construed to suggest or imply that such person is or may be such an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not result in such person being constituted as, or being deemed to be, such an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for purposes of this Section 11.1.

(b)          Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents. The Corporation shall have power to indemnify and advance expenses to its other officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

(c)          Expenses. The Corporation shall advance to any current or former director or executive officer of the Corporation, or to any person, who while serving as a director or executive officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in defending (or participating as a witness in) any Proceeding referred to in Section 11.1(a), or in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under Section 11.1(d), provided, however, that any advancement of expenses incurred by a current or former director or executive officer in such director’s or executive officer’s capacity as a director or executive officer will be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or entitled to advancement for such expenses under this Section 11.1 or otherwise.

(d)          Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to current and former directors and executive officers under this Section 11.1 will be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the Corporation and such director or executive officer. Any right to indemnification or advancement of expenses granted by this Section 11.1 to a current or former director or executive officer will be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if

(i) the claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses is denied, in whole or in part,

(ii) no disposition of a claim for indemnification is made within 60 days of request therefor, or

(iii) no disposition of a claim for an advance is made within 30 days of request therefor.

The indemnitee in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, will be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending the claim to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

In (i) any suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, will be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a current or former director or executive officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the director or executive officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 11.1 or otherwise is on the Corporation.

(e)          Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section 11.1 are not exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable law, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL.

(f)           Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section 11.1 will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or executive officer and will inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(g)          Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Corporation may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 11.1.

(h)          Amendments. Any repeal or modification of this Section 11.1 is only prospective and does not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any Proceeding against any current or former director or officer of the Corporation.

(i)           Saving Clause. If this Section 11.1 or any portion hereof is invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation will nevertheless indemnify and advance expenses to each director and executive officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Section 11.1 that has not been invalidated or by applicable law. If this Section 11.1 is invalid due to the application of the indemnification and advancement provisions of another jurisdiction, then the Corporation will indemnify and advance expenses to each director and officer to the full extent under applicable law.

(j)              Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 11.1, the following definitions apply:

Section 12.

Notices

Section 12.1          Notices.

(a)          Notice to Stockholders. Notice to stockholders of stockholder meetings shall be given as provided in Section 3.4. Without limiting the manner by which notice may otherwise be given effectively to stockholders under any agreement or contract with such stockholder, and except as otherwise required by applicable law, notice to stockholders for purposes other than stockholder meetings may be sent by U.S. mail or courier service, facsimile or by electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission in accordance with Section 232 of the DGCL.

(b)          Notice to Directors. Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by the method stated in subsection (a) or as otherwise provided in the Bylaws, with notice other than one that is delivered personally to be sent to such address or electronic mail address as such director shall have filed in writing with the Secretary, or, in the absence of such filing, to the last known address or electronic mail address of such director.

(c)          Affidavit of Mailing. An affidavit of notice, executed by a duly authorized and competent employee of the Corporation or its transfer agent appointed with respect to the class of stock affected, or other agent, specifying the name and address or the names and addresses of the stockholder or stockholders, or director or directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given, and the time and method of giving the same, shall in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts therein contained.

(d)          Methods of Notice. It shall not be necessary that the same method of giving notice be employed in respect of all recipients of notice, but one permissible method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others.

(e)          Notice to Person with Whom Communication is Unlawful. Whenever notice is required to be given, under applicable law or any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

(f)          Notice to Stockholders Sharing an Address. Except as otherwise prohibited under the DGCL, any notice given under the provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Such consent shall have been deemed to have been given if such stockholder fails to object in writing to the Corporation within 60 days of having been given notice by the Corporation of its intention to send the single notice. Any consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation.

(g)          Waiver. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws.

Section 13.

Forum selection

Article I
SUPPORT AGREEMENT; COVENANTS

Section 1.1               Binding Effect of Merger Agreement. Each Insider acknowledges that it has read the Merger Agreement and this Agreement and has had the opportunity to consult with its tax and legal advisors. Each Insider shall be bound by, be subject to and comply with Section 9.04 (Exclusivity) and Section 9.06 (Confidentiality; Publicity) of the Merger Agreement (and any relevant definitions contained in any such Sections) as if such Insider was an original signatory to the Merger Agreement with respect to such provisions.

Section 1.2               No Transfer.

(a)                Unless otherwise deemed a Permitted Transfer, during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the earliest of: (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 11.01 (Termination) of the Merger Agreement, (ii) the liquidation of SPAC, (iii) the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (iv) the date upon which the VWAP of SPAC Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as such amount may be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty (30) Trading Day period commencing any time that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date that the Form S-1 Shelf (as defined in the A&R Registration Rights Agreement) contemplated by the A&R Registration Rights Agreement initially becomes effective (the “Lock-Up Period”), such Insider shall not: (A) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate or pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to the Lock-Up Shares; (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Lock-Up Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise; (C) take any action in furtherance of any of the matters described in the foregoing clauses (A) or (B); or (D) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (A) or (B) (each, a “Transfer”). “Lock-Up Shares” means, as of the Effective Date, (i) 2,000,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares owned by the Insiders, (ii) 2,000,000 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issued or issuable, to the Insiders, upon the conversion of the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares to SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Domestication, and (iii) 2,000,000 shares of SPAC Common Stock issued or issuable, to the Insiders, upon the conversion of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of the Transactions.

(b)                “Permitted Transfer” means any Transfer of the Lock-Up Shares: (i) to SPAC’s officers or directors, any Affiliate or family member of any of SPAC’s officers or directors, any members or partners of the Insiders or their Affiliates and funds and accounts advised or managed by such members or partners, any Affiliates of the Insiders, or any employees of such Affiliates; (ii) in the event of completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in the Insiders having the right to exchange their Lock-Up Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of the Transactions; (iii) in the case of an entity, Transfers by virtue of the laws of the state of the entity’s organization and the entity’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the entity; (iv) in the case of an entity, Transfers (A) to another entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) of the transferor entity, or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the transferor entity or affiliates of the transferor entity or that shares a common investment advisor with the transferor entity or (B) as part of a distribution to members, partners, shareholders or equity holders of the transferor entity;

(ix) to a nominee or custodian of a Person to whom a Transfer would be permitted under clauses (i) through (viii); (x) in the case of an entity that is a trust, Transfers to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust; (xi) transfers of any shares of the SPAC Common Stock or other securities acquired as part of the PIPE Investment or issued in exchange for, or on conversion of or exercise of, any securities issued as part of the PIPE Investment; (xii) the exercise of any options or warrants to purchase SPAC Common Stock or the vesting of stock awards of SPAC Common Stock and any related transfer of shares of SPAC Common Stock in connection therewith (A) deemed to occur upon the “cashless” or “net” exercise of such options or warrants or (B) for the purpose of paying the exercise price of such options or warrants or to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to SPAC or SPAC’s subsidiaries’ equity incentive plans or arrangements due as a result of the exercise of such options or warrants, the vesting of such options, warrants or stock awards, or as a result of the vesting of the shares of SPAC Common Stock subject to such options, warrants or stock awards, it being understood that all shares of SPAC Common Stock received upon such exercise, vesting or transfer will remain subject to the restrictions of this Agreement during the Lock-Up Period; (xiii) Transfers to SPAC pursuant to any contractual arrangement in effect at the Closing that provides for the repurchase by SPAC or forfeiture of SPAC Common Stock owned by a SPAC Stockholder or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for SPAC Common Stock in connection with the termination of such SPAC Stockholder’s service to SPAC; (xiv) the entry, by a SPAC Stockholder, at any time after the Closing, if then permitted by SPAC, of any trading plan providing for the sale of SPAC Common Stock by the SPAC Stockholder, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act, provided, however, that if (A) such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any SPAC Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period and (B)(x) no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made or required regarding such plan during the Lock-Up Period or (y) if any public announcement is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the SPAC Stockholder or SPAC regarding such plan, then such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no Transfer may be made under such plan during the Lock-Up Period; and (xv) Transfers to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, or local income tax obligations of the SPAC Stockholder (or its direct or indirect owners) arising from a change in the Code or the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”) after the date on which the Merger Agreement was executed by the parties, and such change prevents the Transactions from qualifying as a “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368 of the Code (and the Transactions do not qualify for similar tax-free treatment pursuant to any successor or other provision of the Code or Regulations taking into account such changes), in each case solely and to the extent necessary to cover any tax liability as a direct result of the Transactions.

(c)                Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of clauses (i) through (x) of Section 1.2(b), a Transfer shall only be deemed a “Permitted Transfer” if (A) such Insider has provided prior written notice to SPAC of such Transfer, and (B) such transferee enters into a written agreement with SPAC assuming all of the obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Lock-Up Shares and subjecting itself to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the transferor SPAC Stockholder that acquired SPAC Common Stock directly from SPAC and not to the immediate family of the transferee). For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of such Insider; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. Any Transfer that does not comply with the provisions of this Section 1.2 shall be null and void. No Transfer permitted under this Section 1.2 shall relieve any Insider of its obligations under this Agreement.

(d)                Notwithstanding the other provisions set forth in this Agreement, the board of directors of SPAC (including, for the avoidance of doubt and to the fullest extent permitted by law, a duly authorized committee thereof) may, in its sole discretion, determine to waive, amend, or repeal the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 1.2. If, pursuant to the SPAC Bylaws Upon Domestication, the board of directors of SPAC (including, for the avoidance of doubt and to the fullest extent permitted by law, a duly authorized committee thereof), in its sole discretion, determines to waive, amend, or repeal the restrictions on transfer applicable to any holder of SPAC Common Stock pursuant to Section 7.5(d) of the SPAC Bylaws Upon Domestication, such discretionary waiver or termination shall apply to the Insiders in the same proportion that the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock (or shares issued on the exercise, exchange or conversion of SPAC Common Stock, as applicable) held by such holder of SPAC Common Stock whose restrictions are terminated or waived bears to the total number of shares of SPAC Common Stock (or such other shares) then held by such holder (a “Pro-Rata Release”). A Pro-rata Release shall not be applied or required (i) to the extent that the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 7.5 of the SPAC Bylaws Upon Domestication are not applicable to a holder of SPAC Common Stock that is not an affiliate of the SPAC or the Company pursuant to Section 7.5(d) of the SPAC Bylaws Upon Domestication, (ii) in the event the board of directors of SPAC (or, for the avoidance of doubt and to the fullest extent permitted by law, a duly authorized committee thereof) determines to waive, amend, or repeal the restrictions set forth in Section 7.5 of the SPAC Bylaws Upon Domestication solely for the purposes of complying with the Market Value of Unrestricted Publicly Held Shares (as such terms are defined in Listing Rule 5005 of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or any successor rule) requirement for initial or continued listing on the tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on which the SPAC Common Stock is then listed or proposed to be listed or to comply with SPAC’s obligations under the PIPE Subscription Agreements, or (iii) in the case of an early release of any holder of SPAC Common Stock from the restrictions described in Section 7.5 of the SPAC Bylaws Upon Domestication if such early release is made due to circumstances of an emergency or hardship, as determined by the board of directors of SPAC or any duly authorized committee thereof in its sole judgment.

Section 1.3               Working Capital Loans. Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, Sponsor shall, if it so elects, convert up to $1,500,000 of the aggregate amount outstanding under all Working Capital Loans into Cayman SPAC Warrants (“Working Capital Warrants”) in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 1.4               Forfeiture. Sponsor agrees that, promptly following and subject to the occurrence of the Closing, (a) 2,786,867 issued and outstanding Domesticated SPAC Warrants, and (b) a number of outstanding Domesticated SPAC Warrants equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Domesticated SPAC Warrants resulting from the domestication of the Working Capital Warrants, shall be forfeited by Sponsor and reserved by SPAC for the issuance of a corresponding number of stock options to purchase shares of SPAC Common Stock to certain service providers of the Surviving Entity pursuant to and in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan; provided, that any Domesticated SPAC Warrants referenced in this clause (b) that remain unallocated immediately following the Closing shall be retained and not forfeited by the Sponsor.

Section 1.5               Forfeiture and Issuance of Sponsor Shares and Warrants.

(a)                Promptly following and subject to the occurrence of the Closing, (i) Sponsor shall forfeit 3,500,000 issued and outstanding shares of SPAC Common Stock owned by Sponsor immediately following the Closing, and (ii) New ZincFive shall issue, free and clear of all Liens and for no additional consideration, an equal number of shares of SPAC Common Stock to Persons designated by New ZincFive in its sole discretion.

(b)                Promptly following and subject to the occurrence of the Closing, Sponsor shall (i) forfeit (x) 922,078 issued and outstanding shares of SPAC Common Stock and (y) 1,458,400 issued and outstanding Domesticated SPAC Warrants owned by the Sponsor immediately following the Closing, free and clear of all Liens, and (ii) New ZincFive shall issue, free and clear of all Liens and for no additional consideration (A) 922,078 shares of SPAC Common Stock to certain Bridge Investors or their designated affiliates or assignees (collectively, the “Bridge Investor Shares”) and (B) 1,458,400 warrants to purchase shares of SPAC Common Stock to certain Bridge Investors or their designated affiliates or assignees (the “Bridge Investor Warrants”), which Bridge Investor Warrants shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including, without limitation, exercise price) as the forfeited Domesticated SPAC Warrants.

Section 1.6               New Securities. If: (a) any SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares, Cayman SPAC Warrants (including any Working Capital Warrants), Domesticated SPAC Warrants, shares of SPAC Common Stock or other equity securities of SPAC are issued to an Insider after the Effective Date pursuant to any share dividend, share split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of or similar transaction with respect to, on or affecting the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares, Cayman SPAC Warrants, Domesticated SPAC Warrants, shares of SPAC Common Stock owned by the Insiders; (b) such Insider purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares, Cayman SPAC Warrants, Domesticated SPAC Warrants, shares of SPAC Common Stock or other equity securities of SPAC after the Effective Date; or (c) such Insider acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of any SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares, shares of SPAC Common Stock or other equity securities of SPAC after the Effective Date (any such SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares, Cayman SPAC Warrants, Domesticated SPAC Warrants, shares of SPAC Common Stock or other equity securities of SPAC, collectively, the “New Securities”), then such New Securities acquired or purchased by such Insider shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Subject Securities owned by such Insider as of the Effective Date.

Section 1.7               Closing Date Deliverables. On the Closing Date, each Insider shall deliver to SPAC and the Company a duly executed copy of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 1.8               Agreements.

(a)                In all circumstances in which the vote, consent or other approval of the SPAC Stockholders is sought, each Insider shall: (i) appear at each such meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause all of such Insider’s Subject Securities that are entitled to vote to be counted as present at such meeting for purposes of calculating a quorum; and (ii) vote (or cause to be voted), or execute and deliver a written consent (or cause a written consent to be executed and delivered) covering, all of such Insider’s Subject Securities that are entitled to vote:

(A)              in favor of the SPAC Stockholder Matters;

(B)              against any Acquisition Transaction or any proposal relating to an Acquisition Transaction (in each case, other than the Transactions);

(C)              against any merger agreement or merger (other than the Merger Agreement and the Transactions), consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by SPAC;

(D)              against any change in the business, management or board of directors of SPAC (other than in connection with the Transactions or pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the documents ancillary to the Transactions (each, an “Ancillary Document”)); and

(E)               against any proposal, action or agreement that would: (I) impede, interfere, frustrate, prevent or nullify any provision of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Transactions; (II) result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of SPAC under the Merger Agreement; (III) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article 10 (Conditions to Obligations) of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled; (IV) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of such Insider contained in this Agreement; or (V) change in any manner the dividend policy or capitalization of, including the voting rights of any class of capital stock of, SPAC.

Such Insider shall not commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing in its capacity as a SPAC Stockholder.

(b)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time following the Effective Date and prior to the termination of the Merger Agreement, the board of directors of SPAC effects a Modification of Recommendation, then the obligations of each Insider to vote or consent in accordance with Section 1.8(a) shall automatically be deemed to be modified such that, from and after the occurrence of such Modification of Recommendation, such Insider shall vote or provide consent in respect of its SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares in the same proportion to the votes cast or consent provided, as applicable, by the holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares.

Section 1.9               No Challenges. Each Insider agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against SPAC, the Company or any of their respective successors or directors: (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement; or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry into this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the ability of such Insider to enforce its rights under this Agreement or any other Ancillary Document to which it is a party or seek any other remedies with respect to any breach of this Agreement or such other Ancillary Document by any other party to this Agreement or such other Ancillary Document, including by commencing any action in connection with this Agreement or any other Ancillary Document.

Section 1.10            Further Assurances. Each Insider shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable Laws to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Transactions on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Section 1.11            No Inconsistent Agreement. Each Insider represents and covenants that it has not, in such Person’s capacity as a shareholder of SPAC, entered into, and shall not enter into, any agreement that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of such Insider’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 1.12           Conversion of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares. Immediately prior to the Domestication, each Insider irrevocably elects, in accordance with the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of SPAC (as may be amended from time to time, the “Articles”), to convert each SPAC Class B Ordinary Share held by such Insider into one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share on a one-for-one basis and shall take all actions and execute and deliver all instruments reasonably necessary or advisable to effect such conversion.

Section 1.13            Waiver of Anti-Dilution Provision and Class Consent. Subject to the consummation of the Transactions, each Insider waives (for itself and for its successors, heirs and assigns), to the fullest extent permitted by law and the Articles, all anti-dilution rights that would otherwise result in SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by such Insider converting into SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares on a greater than one-for-one basis in connection with the Transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, each Insider holding SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares shall, promptly upon request by SPAC or the Company, execute and deliver a written consent, or attend and vote at any separate class meeting of the holders of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares, approving, consenting to and, to the extent applicable, waiving any variation of the rights attaching to the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares arising from the conversion of the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares into SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis immediately prior to the Domestication rather than in accordance with any adjustment that would otherwise apply under Article 15 of the Articles, in each case in accordance with Article 20 of the Articles (the “Class B Consent”). The waiver specified in this Section 1.13 shall be applicable only in connection with the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, shares of SPAC Common Stock or equity-linked securities issued in connection with the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If the Merger Agreement shall be terminated for any reason, the foregoing waiver shall be void and of no force and effect.

Section 1.14            Insider Indemnity. For a period of six years after the Closing Date, the SPAC will indemnify, exonerate and hold harmless each Insider and such Person’s respective members, partners, managers and officers from and against all third-party actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such third-party actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (“Indemnified Liabilities”) incurred by the Insider on or after the date of this Agreement, arising out of any third-party action, cause of action, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry, arbitration or claim arising from or relating to this Agreement, the entry by the Insider into this Agreement, and the compliance with the Insider’s obligations in this Agreement, in any such case, that names the Insider as a defendant (or co-defendant) (in each case to the extent that such indemnification, exoneration and hold harmless obligations with respect to such matters are not expressly covered by a separate written agreement between SPAC and the applicable Insider). The preceding sentence shall not apply to: (a) any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent arising out of any breach by the Insider or such Person’s members, managers and officers of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Insider or such Person’s members, managers and officers, on the one hand, and the SPAC or any of its subsidiaries, on the other hand; or (b) the willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud of the Insider or such Person’s members, managers and officers.

Section 1.15            Tax Treatment. The parties hereto agree that any forfeiture of any Domesticated SPAC Warrants by the Sponsor pursuant to Section 1.4 shall be treated as a capital contribution within the meaning of Section 118(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for all U.S. federal income (and all applicable U.S. state and local income) tax purposes. The parties hereto shall file all tax returns consistent with the foregoing treatment, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law.

Section 1.16            Amendment to Letter Agreement. The SPAC, the Insiders and the Non-Shareholder Insider, hereby agree, effective immediately prior to the First Effective Time, to amend Section 5 of the Letter Agreement by deleting the second sentence in Section 5 of the Letter Agreement. As a result, effective immediately prior to the First Effective Time, the Sponsor shall not be obligated to surrender any SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares (or SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares) if the Forward Purchaser (as defined in the Letter Agreement) does not purchase $115,000,000 worth of securities in accordance with that certain forward purchase agreement, dated as of October 5, 2023, by and between the SPAC and the Forward Purchaser. If the Merger Agreement shall be terminated for any reason, such amendment shall be void and of no force and effect. Except as specifically set forth in this Section 1.16, all of the terms and provisions of the Letter Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the SPAC, the Insiders and the Non-Shareholder Insider shall continue to be bound by such terms and provisions.

Section 1.17            Indemnification.

(a)                The Company hereby agrees to hold harmless and indemnify each of (i) SPAC, (ii) Sponsor, and Sponsor’s direct and indirect equityholders and (iii) any of the foregoing’s respective Affiliates and Representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against all Damages incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with, arising out of, or resulting from (x) the SilverBox Note or (y) any Action involving any other Person related to the Company’s breach of the SilverBox Note, in each case whether such Damages accrue prior to or after the date hereof (the “Indemnifiable Matters”). “Damages” include any loss, damage, injury, liability, claim, demand, settlement, judgment, award, fine, penalty, Tax, fee (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, accounting fees and expert fees), interest, charge or cost (including costs of investigation, defense, or settlement of any of the foregoing) or any expense of any nature. “SilverBox Note” means that certain Convertible Promissory Note by and between the Company and Boxwood Holdings V LLC, an Affiliate of SilverBox Corp V, dated as of February 17, 2026, with a principal amount of $10,000,000. “SilverBox Parties” means Boxwood Holdings V LLC, SilverBox Corp V, and their respective Affiliates.

(b)                Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.17 to the contrary, the Company’s maximum aggregate liability under clause (a) shall not exceed the amounts due and payable to the SilverBox Parties under the SilverBox Note plus the amount of any attorney’s fees incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with the foregoing. To the extent the Indemnified Parties pay or are otherwise liable for any out of pocket costs or expenses in connection with the Indemnifiable Matters, the Company shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days’ after receipt of prior written notice from SPAC, pay or advance immediately available funds to the applicable Indemnified Party in an amount reasonably determined by such Indemnified Party necessary to satisfy all such costs and expenses. The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover more than once for the same Damages. Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 1.17 upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that gives rise to, or could reasonably be expected to give rise to, such Damages.

(c)                The Company’s indemnification and reimbursement obligations set forth under clauses (a) and (b), respectively, shall (i) survive the Closing and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i), terminate upon the payment and satisfaction in full of amounts due and payable, and the satisfaction of the Company’s obligations, to the SilverBox Parties under the SilverBox Note. Except for any right to seek specific performance or injunctive relief pursuant to Section 3.6, the rights to indemnification under this Section 1.17 shall be the Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement for all Damages relating to the Indemnifiable Matters. For the avoidance of doubt, each Indemnified Party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of the terms hereof with direct rights of enforcement against the Company.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1               Representations and Warranties of the Insiders. Each Insider represents and warrants as of the Effective Date to SPAC as follows:

(a)                Organization; Good Standing. If the Insider is an entity, the Insider is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which such Insider is incorporated, formed or organized.

(b)                Power; Due Authorization. If the Insider is an entity, the Insider has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If the Insider is a natural person, the Insider has full power and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Insider and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties to this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of such Insider. Except as enforceability may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions, this Agreement is enforceable against such Insider in accordance with its terms. If this Agreement is being executed in a representative or fiduciary capacity, the Person signing this Agreement has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the applicable Insider.

(c)                Ownership. Such Insider is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of, and has good title to, all of the Subject Securities. There exist no Liens or any other limitations or restrictions affecting any such Subject Securities, other than Liens pursuant to: (i) this Agreement; (ii) SPAC’s Organizational Documents; (iii) the Merger Agreement; (iv) if the Insider is an entity, such Insider’s Organizational Documents; (v) agreements between the Insider and the Insider’s members or Affiliates, as applicable; or (vi) any applicable securities Laws. Such Insider’s Subject Securities are the only equity securities of SPAC owned of record or beneficially by the Insider on the Effective Date. Except as provided under this Agreement, none of such Subject Securities are subject to any proxy, voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of such Subject Securities. Other than the Cayman SPAC Warrants held by the Insider, such Insider does not hold or own any rights to acquire (directly or indirectly) any equity securities of SPAC or any equity securities convertible into, or which can be exchanged for, equity securities of SPAC.

(d)                No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Insider does not, and the performance by such Insider of its obligations under this Agreement will not (i) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any Contract binding upon such Insider), other than the Class B Consent, (ii) contravene or conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of any Law or Governmental Order binding upon or applicable to such Insider or any of its properties or assets, (iii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default or give rise to any right of termination, consent, cancellation, amendment, modification, suspension, revocation or acceleration under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Contract to which such Insider is a party, or (iv) other than the restrictions contemplated by this Agreement, result in the creation of any Lien upon the Subject Securities, except in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iv), that would not prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Insider of its obligations under this Agreement.

(e)                Litigation. There are no Actions pending against such Insider, or, to the knowledge of such Insider, threatened against such Insider, before (or, in the case of threatened Action, that would be before) any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, that in any manner challenge or seek to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Insider of its obligations under this Agreement.

(f)                 Brokerage Fees. Except as set forth in Section 6.08 (Brokers Fees) of the SPAC Disclosure Letter, no broker, finder, financial advisor, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee or other commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by such Insider, for which SPAC or any of such Person’s Affiliates may become liable.

(g)                Acknowledgement. Such Insider understands and acknowledges that each of SPAC and the Company is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such Insider’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.
