• The Registration Statement (a) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, the Parties shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, and including the Proxy Statement contained therein, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the Pubco Securities to be issued under this Agreement to the holders of Purchaser Securities and Company Securities at the Closing Date, which Registration Statement will also contain a proxy statement of Purchaser (as amended, the “Proxy Statement”) for the purpose of soliciting proxies from Purchaser shareholders for the matters to be acted upon at the extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) and providing the Public Shareholders an opportunity in accordance with Purchaser’s Organizational Documents and the IPO Prospectus to have their Purchaser Ordinary Shares redeemed (the “Redemption”) in conjunction with the shareholder vote on the Purchaser Shareholder Approval Matters. The Proxy Statement shall be used to solicit proxies from Purchaser shareholders to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, in favor of resolutions approving this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated as part of the Business Combination, the Domestication, the adoption and approval of a new equity incentive plan for Pubco in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, Pubco and Purchaser (the “Pubco Equity Plan”), which will provide that the total awards under such Pubco Equity Plan will be a number of Pubco Common Stock equal to twelve percent (12%) of the aggregate number of Pubco Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing, and such other matters as the Company, Pubco and Purchaser shall hereafter mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Transactions (the “Purchaser Shareholder Approval Matters”), and the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting, if necessary or desirable in the reasonable determination of Purchaser. If on the date for which the Extraordinary General Meeting is scheduled, Purchaser has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares to obtain the Required Shareholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, Purchaser may make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Extraordinary General Meeting. In connection with the Registration Statement, Purchaser, the Company and Pubco will file with the SEC financial and other information about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with applicable Law and applicable proxy solicitation and registration statement rules set forth in Purchaser’s Organizational Documents, the Companies Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq and Form S-4. Purchaser and Pubco shall cooperate and provide the Company (and its counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto prior to filing the same with the SEC. The Company shall provide Purchaser and Pubco with such information concerning the Company and its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, assets, Liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), business and operations that may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, which information provided by the Company shall be true and correct and not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The information included in the Registration Statement with respect to Purchaser and Pubco shall be true and correct and not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. (b) Purchaser and Pubco shall take any and all reasonable and necessary actions required to satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws in connection with the Registration Statement, the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption. Each of Purchaser, Pubco and the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, make their respective directors, officers and employees, upon reasonable advance notice, available to the Company, Pubco, Purchaser, and their respective Representatives in connection with the drafting of the public filings with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Registration Statement, and responding in a timely manner to comments from the SEC. Each Party shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement (and other related materials) if and to the extent that such information is determined to have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. Purchaser and Pubco shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and cause the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC. (c) Purchaser, the Company and Pubco, shall promptly respond to any SEC comments on the Registration Statement and shall otherwise use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to “clear” comments from the SEC and be declared effective. Purchaser and Pubco shall provide the Company with copies of any written comments, and shall inform the Company of any oral comments, that Purchaser, Pubco or their respective Representatives receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement, the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption promptly after the receipt of such comments and shall give the Company a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to review and comment on any proposed written or oral responses to such comments. (d) As soon as practicable following the Registration Statement “clearing” comments from the SEC and being declared effective, Purchaser and Pubco shall distribute the Proxy Statement to Purchaser’s shareholders and, pursuant thereto, shall call the Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with the Companies Act for a date no later than thirty (30) days following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. (e) Purchaser and Pubco shall comply with all applicable Laws, any applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq, Purchaser’s Organizational Documents and this Agreement in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Registration Statement, any solicitation of proxies thereunder, the calling and holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption.

• Filing of the Registration Statement The Company has prepared and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. [ ]), which contains a form of prospectus to be used in connection with the Offering. Such registration statement, as amended, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto contained in the registration statement at the time such registration statement became effective, in the form in which it was declared effective by the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act Regulations”), and including any required information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act, or pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act Regulations”), is called the “Registration Statement.” Any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act is called the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,” and from and after the date and time of filing of the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. Such prospectus, in the form first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act after the date and time that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties hereto, or, if no filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act is required, the form of final prospectus relating to the Offering included in the Registration Statement at the effective date of the Registration Statement (“Effective Date”), is called the “Prospectus.” All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, the preliminary prospectus included in the Registration Statement (each, a “preliminary prospectus”), the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, shall include any copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”). The preliminary prospectus that was included in the Registration Statement immediately prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below) is hereinafter called the “Pricing Prospectus.” Any reference to the “most recent preliminary prospectus” shall be deemed to refer to the latest preliminary prospectus included in the registration statement. Any reference herein to any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus or any supplement or amendment to either thereof shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents incorporated by reference therein as of the date of such reference.

• Effectiveness of the Registration Statement The Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued by the SEC and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been initiated or, to the knowledge of Parent or the Company, threatened by the SEC.

• Copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus The Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act, as many copies of each preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus and any supplement thereto and the Disclosure Package as the Representatives may reasonably request.

• Preparation of Prospectus and Registration Statement The Partnership will advise the Representatives promptly and, if requested by the Representatives, will confirm such advice in writing: (i) of any request by the Commission for amendment of or a supplement to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the suspension of qualification of the Units for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iii) within the period of time referred to in paragraph (e) below, of any change in the condition (financial or other), business, prospects, properties, net worth or results of operations of the Plains Entities, taken as a whole, or of the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) untrue or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act or the regulations thereunder to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which any such statements were made) not misleading, or of the necessity to amend or supplement the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Partnership will make every commercially reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time.

• Failure to File or Obtain Effectiveness of the Registration Statement In the event the Registration Statement is not filed by the Scheduled Filing Deadline or is not declared effective by the SEC on or before the Scheduled Effective Date, or if after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement (whether because of a failure to keep the Registration Statement effective, failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to the Registration Statement, failure to register sufficient shares of Common Stock or otherwise then as partial relief for the damages to any holder of Registrable Securities by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies at law or in equity), the Company will pay as liquidated damages (the “Liquidated Damages”) to the holder, at the holder’s option, either a cash amount or shares of the Company’s Common Stock within three (3) business days, after demand therefore, equal to two percent (2%) of the liquidated value of the Convertible Debentures outstanding as Liquidated Damages for each thirty (30) day period after the Scheduled Filing Deadline or the Scheduled Effective Date as the case may be.

• Resale Registration Statement (a) Within 45 days after the Effective Time, Parent shall file with the SEC, and thereafter use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have declared effective as soon as practicable, a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (or if Parent is not eligible to use Form S-3, any other form that Parent is eligible to use) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act covering the resale (i) by former affiliates of the Company as set forth in Section 5.7(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter including any former affiliates of the Company who may following the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby will be current affiliates of Parent (the “Affiliate Stockholders”) of shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement as consideration and (ii) by holders of Company Warrants (“Company Warrant Holders”) of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Company Warrants or warrants issued by Parent in exchange therefor (collectively, the “Registrable Shares”). In its discretion, Parent will be permitted to register any other shares for resale by other eligible selling stockholders using the Shelf Registration Statement. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and usable for the resale of the Registrable Shares covered thereby for a period commencing on the date on which the SEC declares such Shelf Registration Statement effective and ending on the earlier of (x) the date upon which all of the Registrable Shares first become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act without restriction or (y) the first date upon which all of the Registrable Shares covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement. (b) Parent may, by written notice to the Affiliate Stockholders and Company Warrant Holders, (i) delay the filing or effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement for up to thirty (30) days, or for such longer period, as a result of restraints or restrictions under applicable Law or (ii) suspend the Shelf Registration Statement after effectiveness and require that the Affiliate Stockholders and Company Warrant Holders immediately cease sales of shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (A) for a period of not more than thirty (30) consecutive days or seventy-five (75) days in the aggregate during any twelve (12) consecutive calendar months, in the event that Parent files a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or its successor form) with the SEC for a then pending public offering of its securities or (B) following the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement, for no longer than twenty (20) consecutive trading days if an event has occurred or Parent has entered into a transaction which Parent determines in good faith must be disclosed in order for Parent to comply with the public disclosure requirements imposed on Parent under the Securities Act in connection with the Resale Registration Statement, provided, that in respect of all such events or occurrences Parent shall not suspend the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement for more than forty (40) trading days in the aggregate in any twelve (12) consecutive calendar months.

• Filing Registration Statement The Company shall use its best efforts to, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and use its best efforts to keep it effective for the period required by Section 3.1.3; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to thirty (30) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any demand registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the President or Chairman of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to be effected at such time; provided further, however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately preceding proviso more than once in any 365-day period in respect of a Demand Registration hereunder.

• Suspension of Registration Statement (a) The Company shall immediately notify counsel of the Holders of, and confirm in writing, the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement with respect to such Holder's Registrable Shares or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement as soon as practicable. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company's obligation under this Agreement to cause a Registration Statement and any filings with any state securities commission to become effective or to amend or supplement a Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein shall be suspended (i) in the event and during such period as unforeseen circumstances exist that would require additional disclosure of material information that would make it impractical or unadvisable, in the determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, to cause the Registration Statement or such filings to become effective or to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, or (ii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or such filings or an amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein could, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, interfere with a proposed financing, acquisition or reorganization, the conduct or outcome of any litigation or would require the disclosure of information that the Company has a bona fide purpose for preserving as confidential (each, a "Suspension Event"); provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by applicable law, there shall not be more than three (3) Suspension Events in any 12-month period; and provided further that no Suspension Event shall exceed sixty (60) days. The Company shall notify counsel to the Holders in writing of the existence and, to the extent possible under applicable law, nature of any Suspension Event. (c) Each Holder agrees that, following the effectiveness of any Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Shares of such Holder, such Holder will not effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement or any filings with any state securities commissions at any time after such Holder has received written notice from the Company to suspend sales as a result of the occurrence or existence of any Suspension Event or so that the Company may correct or update such Registration Statement or filing in accordance with Section 2(f). Such Holder may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement or filing upon further notice to such effect from the Company which notice shall be given by the Company promptly after the conclusion of any such Suspension Event.
