At the First Effective Time, the effect of the First Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the First Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the First Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Corporation, which shall include the assumption by the Surviving Corporation of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of the Company and the Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Closing. Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and the Surviving Corporation will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo, all as provided under the DGCL and the provisions of this Agreement. At the Second Effective Time, the effect of the Second Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Second Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the DLLCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Second Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Corporation and Merger Sub II shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Entity, which shall include the assumption by the Surviving Entity of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of the Company and the Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Closing. The Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into Merger Sub II, and the separate corporate existence of the Surviving Corporation will cease, and the Surviving Entity will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo, all as provided under the DGCL and the DLLCA and the provisions of this Agreement.

2.4 U.S. Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the parties hereto intend that the First Merger and the Second Merger shall be treated as a single integrated transaction described in Rev. Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321 and, taken together, are treated as a merger of the Company with and into Parent that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code to which each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are to be parties under Section 368(b) of the Code, and this Agreement is intended to be, and is hereby adopted, as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). None of the parties, as of the date hereof, knows of any fact or circumstance (without conducting independent inquiry or diligence of the other relevant party), or has knowingly taken or will knowingly take any action, if such fact, circumstance or action would be reasonably expected to cause the Mergers to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. The parties hereby agree to file all applicable Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment unless otherwise required by a Taxing Authority as a result of a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of applicable state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law) or a change in applicable Law after the date hereof. Each of the parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify all other parties of any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any Taxing Authority. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that each such party (A) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including as a result of any adverse Tax consequences if the Mergers is determined not to qualify as for its Intended Tax Treatment.

2.5 Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger, the Company Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws, in each case as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time, shall cease to have effect and shall be amended to read the same as the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Xxxxxx Medical, Inc.” At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger, the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in each case as in effect immediately prior to the Second Effective Time, shall cease to have effect and the certificate of formation and operating agreement of the Merger Sub II shall continue to be the certificate of formation and operating agreement of the Surviving Entity prior to the Closing Date, until thereafter amended in accordance with their respective terms and as provided by the DLLCA, except that the name of the Surviving Entity shall be “Xxxxxx Medical, LLC.”

2.6 Closing; Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated in accordance with ARTICLE X, the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”) shall take place virtually at 10:00 a.m. local time, on the second (2^nd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE IX or at such other time, date and location as Parent and Company agree in writing. The parties may participate in the Closing via electronic means. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”.

2.7 Board of Directors of PubCo; Officers. Immediately after the Closing, the PubCo Board of Directors will consist of seven (7) directors, two (2) of which will be initially designated by Sponsor, with each of such designees qualifying as an Independent Director, and five (5) of which will be designated by the Company, with at least two (2) of such designees qualifying as Independent Directors. At least a majority of the PubCo Board of Directors shall qualify as Independent Directors. The officers of the Company shall become the officers of PubCo immediately after the Closing. The officers and directors of PubCo after the Closing shall also serve as the officers and managers of the Surviving Entity.

2.8 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Entity with full right, title and interest in, to and under, or possession of, all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, Merger Sub and Merger Sub II, the officers and managers of the Surviving Entity are fully authorized in the name and on behalf of the Company, Merger Sub and Merger Sub II, to take all lawful action necessary or desirable to accomplish such purpose or acts, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

2.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Securities. At the First Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Capital Stock or other securities of the Company on the records of the Company. From and after the First Effective Time, the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Capital Stock, except as otherwise provided for herein or by Law.

2.10 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any shares of Company Capital Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and in respect of which appraisal rights shall have been perfected, and not waived, withdrawn or lost, in accordance with the DGCL in connection with the First Merger and that are owned by a holder who complies in all respects with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Closing Share Consideration, but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL. At the First Effective Time, (a) all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled, extinguished and cease to exist and (b) the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the DGCL, becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with the DGCL (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the First Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then (i) the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such shares shall cease, (ii) any such shares shall immediately be deemed to have converted as of the First Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Closing Share Consideration (upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and (iii) PubCo shall issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) to the holder thereof, the applicable portion of the Closing Share Consideration as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent prompt written notice (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and, following the First Effective Time, direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the First Effective Time, neither the Company nor Parent shall, except with the prior written consent of the other party (in its sole discretion), (x) make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares, (y) waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise comply with the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL or (z) agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION

3.1 Conversion of Securities.

(a) Effect on Company Capital Stock.

(i) Conversion of Company Preferred Stock. Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Company Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into one (1) share of Company Common Stock (collectively, the “Company Preferred Stock Conversion”). All of the shares of Company Preferred Stock converted into shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Company Preferred Stock shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities.

(ii) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.10, at the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Company Securityholders or any other Person, (A) each share of Company Common Stock held by an Earnout Securityholder issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than the Dissenting Shares) shall be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration plus the Per Share Earnout Consideration as set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet in accordance with Section 3.2, in each case, without interest and (B) each share of Company Common Stock held by a Company Securityholder that is not an Earnout Securityholder issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than the Dissenting Shares) shall be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration as set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet in accordance with Section 3.2, without interest.

(iii) Conversion of Company Convertible Debt. Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each Company Convertible Note, if any, shall automatically convert into a number of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such Company Convertible Note (collectively, the “Company Convertible Note Conversion”). All of the Company Convertible Notes converted into shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Company Convertible Notes shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Convertible Notes.

(b) Treatment of Company Convertible Securities.

(i) Effective as of the First Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the First Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be assumed by PubCo and shall be converted into a stock option (a “PubCo Option”) to acquire shares of PubCo Common Stock in accordance with this Section 3.1. Each such PubCo Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time (but taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the applicable Equity Incentive Plan, in any award agreement or in such Company Option by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). As of the First Effective Time, each such PubCo Option as so assumed and converted shall be for that number of shares of PubCo Common Stock that each such Company Option would receive if such Company Option was treated as a share of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.1(a)(ii) (with the exercise price of such PubCo Option adjusted as necessary to preserve the original economics of such Company Option). The Company shall terminate the Equity Incentive Plan as of the First Effective Time. As of the First Effective Time, all Company Options shall no longer be outstanding and each holder of PubCo Options shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Options, except as set forth in this Section 3.1.

(ii) Effective as of the First Effective Time, each Company Warrant, if any, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the First Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be assumed by PubCo and shall be converted into a PubCo Warrant to acquire shares of PubCo Common Stock in accordance with this Section 3.1. Each such PubCo Warrant as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Warrant immediately prior to the First Effective Time (but taking into account any changes thereto by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). As of the First Effective Time, each such PubCo Warrant as so assumed and converted shall be for that number of shares of PubCo Common Stock that each such Company Warrant would receive if such Company Warrant was treated as a share of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.1(a)(ii) (with the exercise price of such PubCo Warrant adjusted as necessary to preserve the original economics of such Company Warrant). As of the First Effective Time, all Company Warrants shall no longer be outstanding and each holder of PubCo Warrants shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Warrants, except as set forth in this Section 3.1.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversions described in this Section 3.1 will be subject to such modifications, if any, as are required to cause the conversion to be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D). Following the First Effective Time, each PubCo Option shall be subject to the PubCo Equity Incentive Plan (and considered “Substitute Awards” for purposes thereof) and to the same terms and conditions, including, without limitation, any vesting conditions, as had applied to the corresponding Company Option as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, except for such terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to such adjustments as reasonably determined by the PubCo Board of Directors to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the conversion or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Conversion of Shares of Merger Sub. Each share of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time will, by virtue of the First Merger and without further action on the part of the sole shareholder of Merger Sub, be converted into and become one share of the Surviving Corporation (and the shares of Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Corporation that are issued and outstanding immediately after the First Effective Time). Each certificate (if any) evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub will, as of the First Effective Time, be deemed to evidence ownership of such shares of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Treatment of Shares of Company Common Stock Owned by the Company. At the First Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury shares immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

(e) Surrender of Certificates. All PubCo Common Stock issued upon the surrender and cancellation of the Company Common Stock, in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities.

(f) Lost or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates or securities, as the case may be, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof (without the requirement to post a bond), such securities, as may be required pursuant to this Section 3.1.

(g) Surviving Entity Equity Securities. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, the limited liability company interests of Merger Sub II outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be converted into and become the limited liability company interests of the Surviving Entity, all of which shall be owned by PubCo, which shall continue as the sole member of Surviving Entity. From and after the Second Effective Time, the limited liability company interests of Merger Sub II as of immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of limited liability company interests of the Surviving Entity into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(h) Finders. At the Closing, Parent shall issue 100,000 shares of PubCo Common Stock and 30,000 PubCo Warrants to the individuals set forth on Schedule 3.1(h).

3.2 Earnout.

(a) At the Closing, Parent shall issue electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), using DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian System, to the Earnout Securityholders and such Earnout Securityholders will deliver to the Earnout Escrow Agent (as defined below), the Earnout Warrants (as such Earnout Warrants may be adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, exchange, subdivision or combination) which Earnout Warrants shall be released to the Earnout Securityholders based on their Pro Rata Earnout Portion of the Per Share Earnout Consideration as set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, if, at any time during the five (5) year period following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), the VWAP of PubCo Common Stock for any 20 Trading Days within any 30 Trading Day period is greater than $12.50 (the “Earnout Trigger”). The parties agree that the Earnout Securityholders shall be treated, on a pro rata basis, as the owners of the Earnout Warrants for so long as they are in the Earnout Escrow Account for income Tax purposes, and shall file all Tax Returns consistent with such treatment.

(b) Upon receipt of the Earnout Warrants, an escrow agent mutually agreed to by Parent and the Company (the “Earnout Escrow Agent”) will place such Earnout Warrants in an escrow account (the “Earnout Escrow Account”) established pursuant to an escrow agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent, the Company and the Earnout Escrow Agent, to be entered into at the Closing by Parent, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Earnout Escrow Agent (the “Earnout Escrow Agreement”).

(c) Promptly upon the occurrence of the Earnout Trigger, PubCo and the Stockholders’ Representative shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, a joint written release instruction to the Earnout Escrow Agent (a “Release Notice”), which Release Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the triggering event giving rise to the requested release and the specific release instructions with respect thereto (including the number of Earnout Warrants to be released and the identity of the Earnout Securityholder to whom they should be released). The Earnout Warrants that are not earned on or before the expiration of the Earnout Period shall be automatically forfeited and cancelled.

(d) If the number of Earnout Warrants to which an Earnout Securityholder is entitled hereunder is a fractional amount, such amount shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

3.3 No Fractional Shares. No fractional PubCo Common Shares, or certificates or scrip representing fractional PubCo Common Shares, will be issued upon the conversion of the Company Common Stock pursuant to the First Merger and any such fractional shares or interests therein will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of PubCo. Any fractional PubCo Common Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of PubCo Common Shares.

3.4 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II, the Company and the Surviving Entity, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any applicable provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. Other than in respect of amounts subject to compensatory withholding or as a result of the failure to deliver the certification required pursuant to Section 9.2(k), each of the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding is expected to be made at least five (5) Business Days prior to making any such deduction or withholding, which notice shall be in writing and include the amount of and basis for such deduction or withholding. The parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide recipients of consideration with a reasonable opportunity to provide documentation establishing exemptions from or reductions of such withholdings. In the case of any such payment payable to employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the Mergers treated as compensation, the parties shall cooperate to pay such amounts through the Company’s or the relevant Subsidiary’s payroll to facilitate applicable withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authorities, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

3.5 Consideration Spreadsheet.

(a) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent a form closing consideration spreadsheet (the “Consideration Spreadsheet”), prepared by the Company in good faith and detailing, in each case, as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, based, when relevant, on assumptions reasonably acceptable to Parent which are described in detail in the Consideration Spreadsheet:

(i) the name and address of record of each Company Stockholder and the number and class, type or series of shares of Company Capital Stock held by each, and in the case of shares of each series of Company Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Company Common Stock into which such shares of Company Preferred Stock are convertible;

(ii) the names of record of each holder of Company Options, and the exercise price, number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each Company Option held by it and vesting arrangements with respect to any unvested Company Option (including the vesting schedule, vesting commencement date, date fully vested);

(iii) the number of Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares;

(iv) a detailed calculation of the Per Share Merger Consideration (in each case, without regard to withholding);

(v) a detailed calculation of the Per Share Earnout Consideration (in each case, without regard to withholding);

(vi) a detailed calculation of the Closing Cash;

(vii) a detailed calculation of the Closing Indebtedness;

(viii) for each Company Securityholder, its share of the Per Share Merger Consideration based on its Pro Rata Portion;

(ix) for each Earnout Securityholder, its share of the Per Share Earnout Consideration based on its Pro Rata Earnout Portion;

(x) detailed information with respect to the names of investors and lenders, amounts committed by each of them and other material terms of all Permitted Company Financing; and

(xi) any explanatory or supporting information, including calculations, as Parent may reasonably request.

(b) The contents of the Consideration Spreadsheet delivered hereunder shall be subject to reasonable review and comment by Parent, but the Company shall, in all events, remain solely responsible for the contents of the Consideration Spreadsheet. Under no circumstances shall Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II be responsible for the calculations or the determinations regarding such calculations in the Consideration Spreadsheet so long as such calculations were not made by Parent and the Parties agree that Parent shall be entitled to rely on the most recently delivered Consideration Spreadsheet in making payments under this ARTICLE III.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 3.5 or in the Consideration Spreadsheet shall be construed or deemed to (i) modify the Company’s obligations to obtain Parent’s prior written consent to the issuance of any securities pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(xix); or (ii) alter or amend the definition of Closing Cash, Closing Indebtedness, Per Share Merger Consideration or Per Share Earnout Consideration.

4.5 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 45,000,000 shares of the Company Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Preferred Stock”), of which 3,690,571 shares of Company Common Stock and 18,406,857 shares of Company Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement.

All issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. No shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock were or are subject to, or were issued in violation, of any purchase option, right of first refusal, preemptive right, subscription right or any similar right (including under any provision of the DGCL, the Company Certificate of Incorporation or any Contract to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its assets are bound).

As promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, Parent shall provide to the Company and its counsel notice and a copy of all correspondence (or, to the extent such correspondence is oral, a summary thereof), including any comments from the SEC or its staff, between Parent or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff or other government officials, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement and the S-4, and, in each case, shall consult with the Company and its counsel concerning any such correspondence.

(b) Neither any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any condition.

No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved party whole with respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any other breach.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no statement herein of any right or remedy shall impair any other right or remedy stated herein or that otherwise may be available.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no party shall seek, nor shall any party be liable for, punitive or exemplary damages under any tort, contract, equity or other legal theory with respect to any breach (or alleged breach) of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any matter otherwise relating hereto or arising in connection herewith.

11.3 Arm’s Length Bargaining; No Presumption Against Drafter. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s-length by parties of equal bargaining strength, each represented by counsel and having participated in the drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the parties, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any party in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Agreement or such provision.

11.4 Publicity. Except as required by law or applicable stock exchange rules and except with respect to the Additional Parent SEC Documents, the parties agree that neither they nor their agents shall issue any press release or make any other public disclosure concerning the transactions contemplated hereunder without the prior approval of the other party hereto.

11.5 Expenses.

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 CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

11.9 Enforcement.

terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement or the Additional Agreements 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 ARTICLE X, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or the Additional Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement.

11.15 Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of Parent, dated December 8, 2020 (the “Prospectus”). The Company has read the Prospectus and understands that Parent is a blank check company with powers and privileges to effect the Mergers. The Company acknowledges that, as described in the Prospectus, Parent has established the Trust Account for the benefit of the public shareholders of Parent and the underwriters of the IPO pursuant to the Trust Agreement and that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, Parent may disburse monies from the Trust Account only for the purposes set forth in the Trust Agreement. The Company further acknowledges that, if the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or in the event of the termination of this Agreement, another merger, are not consummated by December 11, 2023 or such later date as approved by the holders of a majority of the Parent Common Stock, for and in consideration of Parent agreeing to enter into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and the Stockholders’ Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Company Securityholders, hereby agrees that it (a) does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such

claims arises based on contract, tort, equity or any theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”), (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Parent, and (c) will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

11.16 Stockholders’ Representative. By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, the approval of the principal terms of the Mergers and the consummation of the Mergers or participating in the Mergers and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Mergers, each Company Securityholder shall be deemed to have appointed the designation of, and hereby designates, Hunniwell Xxxxxx I, LLC as the Stockholders’ Representative for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and any agreement ancillary hereto, including (a) to give and receive notices and communications to Parent for any purpose under this Agreement and the Additional Agreements; (b) to act on behalf of Company Securityholders in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, the securities described herein and any other document or instrument executed in connection with the Agreement and the Mergers; and (c) to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The Stockholders’ Representative may resign at any time. Such agency may be changed by the Company Securityholders from time to time upon no less than twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholders’ Representative may not be removed unless holders of a majority of the Company Securities (on an as converted or exercised basis) outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time agree to such removal. Any vacancy in the position of Stockholders’ Representative may be filled by approval of the holders of a majority of the Company Securities (on an as converted or exercised basis) outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time. No bond shall be required of the Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’ Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Stockholders’ Representative in connection with the Stockholders’ Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreement ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Stockholders’ Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Company Securityholders will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholders’ Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholders’ Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreement ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that Representative Losses shall not include costs (other than third party expenses) incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative in the ordinary course of business of the Stockholders’ Representative under the engagement letter entered into by the Stockholders’ Representative, the Company, and certain of the Company Securityholders; and provided, further, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders’ Representative will reimburse the Company Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Stockholders’ Representative by the Company Securityholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholders’ Representative from the funds in the Expense Fund; provided, that, while this provision allows the Stockholders’ Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Company Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Stockholders’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Securityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Company Securityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Stockholders’ Representative under this Section 11.16. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Stockholders’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement. The Company Securityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholders’ Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to

its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Stockholders’ Representative’s responsibilities, the Stockholders’ Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Expense Fund to the Company. For Tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company at the time of Closing.

11.17 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may be enforced only against, and any dispute, claim or controversy based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought only against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth in this Agreement with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, agent, attorney, advisor, lender or representative or Affiliate of any named party to this Agreement (which Persons are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 11.17) shall have any liability (whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity or otherwise, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of such named party or for any dispute, claim or controversy based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, provided, that this Section 11.17 shall not apply to Section 11.16, which shall be enforceable by the Stockholders’ Representative in its entirety against the Company Securityholders.

11.18 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE IV and ARTICLE V and the covenants of any Party that are to be fully performed prior to Closing shall not, in each case, survive the Closing.

11.19 No Other Representations; No Reliance.

(a) NONE OF THE COMPANY, ANY COMPANY SECURITYHOLDER NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER RELATING TO THE COMPANY OR THE BUSINESS OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT, OTHER THAN THOSE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE IV, IN EACH CASE, AS MODIFIED BY THE SCHEDULES TO THIS AGREEMENT.
