ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, (a) at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the DGCL, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, (b) the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Company”) and from and after the Effective Time, shall be a wholly owned Subsidiary of TSIA, and the separate corporate existence of the Company with all of its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger as provided in the DGCL, and (c) the Merger shall have such other effects as provided in the DGCL.

2
1.3 Effective Time. As soon as practicable following, and on the date of, the Closing, the Company and TSIA will cause a certificate of merger relating to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as provided in Section 251 of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time when the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with and accepted by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date and time as may be agreed by the Parties in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger (such date and time, the “Effective Time”).
1.4 The Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Company. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated in its entirety as set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto, and as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company, until thereafter supplemented or amended in accordance with its terms and the DGCL (the “Surviving Company Certificate of Incorporation”).
1.5 The Bylaws of the Surviving Company. The Parties shall take all actions necessary so that the bylaws of the Surviving Company shall be amended and restated to be in the form of the bylaws set forth in Exhibit G, until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law (the “Surviving Company Bylaws”).
1.6 Directors of the Surviving Company. The Parties shall take all necessary action prior to the Effective Time such that (a) each director of the Company in office immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be a director immediately following the Effective Time (including by causing each such director to tender an irrevocable resignation as a director, effective as of the Effective Time) and (b) each person set forth in Section 1.6 of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be appointed to the board of directors of the Surviving Company, effective as of immediately following the Effective Time, and, as of such time, shall be the only directors of the Surviving Company (including by causing the Company Board to adopt resolutions prior to the Effective Time that expand or decrease the size of the Company Board, as necessary, and appoint such persons to the vacancies resulting from the incumbent directors’ respective resignations or, if applicable, the newly created directorships upon any expansion of the size of the Company Board). Each person appointed as a director of the Surviving Company pursuant to the preceding sentence shall remain in office as a director of the Surviving Company until his or her successor is elected or appointed and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Surviving Company Bylaws.
1.7 Officers of the Surviving Company.

ARTICLE II
MERGER CONSIDERATION; EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK
2.1 Conversion of Securities.
(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause each share of Company Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding to be automatically converted into a number of shares of Company Common Stock at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to Article IV(C), Section 4.2 of the Company Certificate of Incorporation (the “Preferred Stock Conversion”). After the Preferred Stock Conversion, all of the shares of Company Preferred 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.
3
(b) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest due on the Company Convertible Notes immediately prior to the Effective Time to be automatically converted into a number of shares of Company Common Stock as set forth in Section 3 of the applicable Company Convertible Note (the “Convertible Notes 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 securities.
(c) At the Effective Time (and, for the avoidance of doubt, following the Preferred Stock Conversion, the Convertible Notes Conversion and the Warrant Settlement), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof:
(i) each share of Company Common Stock (including Company Stock resulting from the Preferred Stock Conversion, the Convertible Notes Conversion and the Warrant Settlement) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than the Dissenting Shares (the “Eligible Shares”) shall thereupon be converted into the right to receive, and the holder of such share of Company Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, a number of shares of TSIA Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, subject to rounding pursuant to Section 2.3(g) (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”);
(ii) each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall thereupon be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Surviving Company, and all such shares shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Company as of immediately following the Effective Time;
(iii) each share of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company (“Treasury Shares”) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto; and
(iv) each of the Dissenting Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and cease to exist in accordance with Section 2.9(a) and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable payments set forth in Section 2.9(a).
2.2 Treatment of Company Options.
(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Option”) under the Stock Plans that is not a Cash Elected Company Option, whether vested or unvested, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent an option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of TSIA Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) (each, an “Assumed Option”) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio, in each case, as set forth in the Ownership Allocation; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of TSIA Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Company Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided, further, that in the case of any Company Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of TSIA Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. Except as expressly provided above, following the Effective Time, each Company Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.
4
(b) At the Effective Time, each outstanding award of restricted stock units, if any, relating to shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company RSU”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent a right to receive shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted into a restricted stock unit relating to a number of shares of TSIA Common Stock equal to the product (rounded to the nearest whole number) (each, an “Assumed RSU”) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio. Except as expressly provided above, following the Effective Time, each Company RSU shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and settlement terms) as were applicable to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(c) TSIA Actions. TSIA shall take all actions that are necessary for the assumption of the Company Options and Company RSUs pursuant to this Section 2.2, including the reservation, issuance and listing of TSIA Common Stock as necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.2. If registration of any plan interests in the Stock Plans or other Company Benefit Plans or the shares of TSIA Common Stock issuable thereunder is required under the Securities Act, TSIA shall file with the SEC within 60 days of the Closing Date a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to such interests or TSIA Common Stock, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as the relevant Stock Plans or other Company Benefit Plans, as applicable, remain in effect and such registration of interests therein or the shares of TSIA Common Stock issuable thereunder continues to be required.
(d) Vested Company Option Cash Election. At the Effective Time, each Vested Company Option with respect to which an election to receive only cash (a “Cash Election”) has been properly made and not revoked pursuant to Section 2.3 (a “Cash Elected Company Option”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive, subject to Section 2.2(e), an amount in cash equal to (i) the Per Share Value, without interest, minus (ii) the exercise price applicable to the share of Company Common Stock underlying such Cash Elected Company Option (the “Cash Election Consideration”). All Cash Election Consideration payable to the holders of Cash Elected Company Options (“Cash Election Optionholders”) will be paid as soon as practicable after the Closing Date through the regular payroll processes of the Company and shall be subject to all applicable Tax and other withholdings.
(e) Cash Election Cut-Backs. If the aggregate amount of Cash Election Consideration to be paid in respect of the aggregate number of Cash Elected Company Options would exceed the Cash Election Consideration Cap, a portion of the Vested Company Options that would otherwise be considered Cash Elected Company Options will be reduced in accordance with this Section 2.2(e) by the minimum amount necessary to provide that the total Cash Election Consideration does not exceed the Cash Election Consideration Cap. Such reduction shall be applied to the Vested Company Options held by each Cash Election Optionholder in such reasonable and equitable manner as is determined by the Company such that the Cash Election Consideration to be received by each Cash Election Optionholder is reduced by the same percentage amount. Following any such reduction in the Vested Company Options eligible to receive Cash Election Consideration pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(e), the remaining Company Options held by each Cash Election Optionholder shall be converted into Assumed Options in accordance with Section 2.2(a).
2.3 Exchange Procedures.
(a) Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, TSIA shall deposit or cause to be deposited with a bank or trust company selected by TSIA to serve as the exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Eligible Shares, an aggregate number of shares of TSIA Common Stock to be issued in non-certificated book-entry form equal to the Aggregate Share Consideration and, if applicable, an aggregate amount of cash equal to the Aggregate Cash Election Consideration, comprising the amounts required to be delivered in respect of the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2. In addition, TSIA shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, any dividends or other distributions, if any, to which the holders of Eligible Shares may be
5
entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(f) with both a record and payment date after the Effective Time and prior to the surrender of such Eligible Shares. Such shares of TSIA Common Stock comprising the Aggregate Share Consideration, such cash comprising the Aggregate Cash Election Consideration and the amount of any dividends or other distributions deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than a purpose expressly provided for in this Agreement.
(b) Procedures for Surrender. Prior to the Effective Time, TSIA shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of Company Common Stock evidenced by certificates (the “Certificates”) entitled to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1 a letter of transmittal, which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to TSIA and the Company (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and shall specify (i) that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal. Within two Business Days (but in no event prior to the Effective Time) after the surrender to the Exchange Agent of all Certificates held by such holder for cancellation, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions (the “Transmittal Documents”), the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and TSIA shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1 and as set forth in the Ownership Allocation, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3(b), each Certificate entitled to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1 shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1.
(c) Delivery of Consideration to Other Persons. If any Per Share Merger Consideration is to be delivered or issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered immediately prior to the Effective Time, it shall be a condition to such delivery that (i) the transfer of such Company Common Stock shall have been permitted in accordance with the terms of the Organizational Documents of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, (iii) the recipient of such Per Share Merger Consideration, or the Person in whose name such Per Share Merger Consideration is delivered or issued, shall have already executed and delivered such other Transmittal Documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Exchange Agent or TSIA and (iv) the Person requesting such delivery shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such delivery to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
(d) Election Procedures. Each holder of record of Vested Company Options (a “Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article II, to submit an Election in accordance with this Section 2.3(d) on or prior to the Election Deadline. The Company shall not waive the Election Deadline unless such Election Deadline is waived with respect to all Holders, the new election deadline is disclosed by the Company to all Holders on a date agreed to by TSIA, and TSIA has otherwise given its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or denied) to such waiver. “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date that is five Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Parties shall cooperate to inform each Holder of the anticipated date of the Election Deadline at least five Business Days prior to the anticipated date of the Election Deadline.
(i) Each Holder shall specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3(d)(i) (an “Election”) whether such Holder desires to make a Cash Election with respect to such Holder’s Vested Company Options; provided, that a Holder shall not be permitted to make an Election in respect of more than 25% of the Vested Company Options held by such Holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and any Election in excess of that threshold shall be reduced automatically to 25% of the Vested Company
6
Options held by such Holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. If any Holder fails to make an Election or makes an Election only with respect to a portion of such Holder’s Vested Company Options, the portion of such Holder’s Vested Company Options with respect to which such Holder did not make an Election shall be automatically treated as set forth in Section 2.2(a).
(ii) The Company shall prepare a form of election that is reasonably acceptable to TSIA (the “Form of Election”), which shall be included with the Letter of Transmittal contemplated by Section 2.3(b), and TSIA shall mail, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail the Form of Election to Holders as of the record date established by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Election Record Date”), in consultation with TSIA, not less than 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline (the period between such mailing and the Election Deadline, the “Election Period”). TSIA shall use reasonable best efforts to make available one or more Forms of Election as may reasonably be requested from time to time by all persons who become Holders during the period following the Election Record Date and prior to the Election Deadline.
(iii) Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, by the Election Deadline, (A) a Form of Election properly completed and signed in accordance with the instructions therein, and (B) the properly completed and executed documents required to be delivered by such Holder pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.3, as applicable. Any Holder that does not make a valid Election by the Election Deadline shall be deemed to have made no Cash Election, and all of such Holder’s Vested Company Options shall be automatically treated as set forth in Section 2.2(a).
(iv) Any Holder may, at any time during the Election Period, revoke his, her or its Election by written notice to the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline, together with a properly completed and signed revised Form of Election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Elections shall be automatically deemed revoked upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of written notification from the Company or TSIA that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article IX. The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine if any Election is not properly made, changed or revoked with respect to any Vested Company Options (none of the Company, TSIA, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent being under any duty to notify any Holder of any applicable defect). In the event the Exchange Agent makes a reasonable determination that an Election was not properly made (including as a result of the Exchange Agent not receiving an Election by the Election Deadline), such Election shall be deemed to be ineffective, and the Vested Company Options covered by such Election shall be automatically treated as set forth in Section 2.2(a).
(e) Stop Transfer. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Stock. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Company, TSIA or the Exchange Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Per Share Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with, the procedures set forth in this Section 2.3.
(f) Distributions with Respect to Un-surrendered Certificates. All shares of TSIA Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by TSIA in respect of the TSIA Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of shares of TSIA Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any un-surrendered Certificate until the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a Certificate as provided in Section 2.5) is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article II. Subject to applicable Law, following such surrender, there shall be issued or paid to the holder of record of the whole shares of TSIA Common Stock issued in exchange for Eligible Shares in accordance with this Article II, (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of TSIA Common Stock and not paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of TSIA Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time and prior to surrender, but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.
7
(g) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a share of TSIA Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger or the other Transactions, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of TSIA Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of TSIA Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall instead have the number of shares of TSIA Common Stock issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest whole share of TSIA Common Stock.
(h) No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable for shares of TSIA Common Stock pursuant to this Article II.
2.4 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any deposit of the Exchange Fund and any shares of TSIA Common Stock) that remains unclaimed by the 180th day after the Effective Time shall be delivered to TSIA. Any holder of Eligible Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to TSIA for delivery of the Aggregate Merger Consideration and any unpaid non-stock dividends and any other dividends or other distributions, in each case, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article II.
2.5 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Per Share Merger Consideration and any unpaid non-stock dividends and any other dividends or other distributions, in each case, payable or issuable pursuant to this Article II, had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.
2.6 Withholding Rights. Each of TSIA and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any recipient such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. Other than with respect to any withholding requirement arising out of a change in law or facts occurring after the date that is 10 days prior to the Closing Date, TSIA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company with at least 10 days prior written notice of any amounts that TSIA (or any of TSIA’s representatives) intends to withhold from consideration payable to the holders of Company Common Stock hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Company to reduce or eliminate any such withholding. With respect to any withholding requirement arising out of a change in law or facts occurring after the date that is 10 days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide such prior notice described in the immediately preceding sentence as soon as possible. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by TSIA or the Surviving Company, as applicable, consistent with the terms of this Section 2.6, such withheld amounts (a) shall be timely remitted by TSIA or the Surviving Company, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (b) 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 by TSIA or the Surviving Company, as applicable.
2.7 Payment of Expenses.
(a) On the Closing Date following the Closing, TSIA shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all fees and disbursements of the Company or its Subsidiaries for outside counsel incurred in connection with the Transactions and fees and expenses of the Company for any other agents, advisors, consultants, experts and financial advisors employed by the Company incurred in connection with the Transactions (collectively, the “Outstanding Company Expenses”).
(b) On the Closing Date following the Closing, TSIA shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all fees and disbursements of TSIA, or Merger Sub for outside counsel and fees and expenses of TSIA or Merger Sub or for any other agents, advisors, consultants, experts and financial advisors
8
employed by or on behalf of TSIA or Merger Sub incurred in connection with the Transactions (collectively, the “Outstanding TSIA Expenses”).
2.8 Ownership Allocation. No later than close of business on the third Business Day preceding the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to TSIA a statement describing (i) the allocation of the Aggregate Merger Consideration between the holders of Company Stock, taking into account the Preferred Stock Conversion, Convertible Notes Conversion and the Warrant Settlement, (ii) each holder and the number of shares of TSIA Common Stock constituting the Per Share Merger Consideration receivable by such holder of Company Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, taking into account the Preferred Stock Conversion, Convertible Notes Conversion and the Warrant Settlement, (iii) each Cash Elected Company Option that will be canceled in exchange for the Cash Election Consideration, (iv) each Assumed Option that will be outstanding as of the Closing, and, with respect to such Assumed Option, the number of shares of TSIA Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option and the exercise price of such Assumed Option, and (v) each Assumed RSU that will be outstanding as of the Closing, and, with respect to such Assumed RSU, the number of shares of TSIA Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed RSU (the “Ownership Allocation”). TSIA and Merger Sub shall be entitled to rely fully on the information in the Ownership Allocation in issuing the Per Share Merger Consideration, paying the Cash Election Consideration and converting the Company Options into the Assumed Options.
2.9 Appraisal Rights.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, shares of Company Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders of the Company who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal or dissenters’ rights for such Company Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection of appraisal rights, shall not be converted into, and such stockholders shall have no right to receive, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration unless and until such stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. Any Company Stockholder who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, if applicable, in the manner provided in Section 2.3(b), of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Stock.
(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give TSIA prompt notice (and in any event within one Business Day) of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company 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 TSIA shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of TSIA, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise comply with the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL, or agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.
2.10 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Effective Time and termination in accordance with Article IX, the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock or the issued and outstanding shares of TSIA Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of TSIA Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or securities or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock
9
split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend with a record date within such period shall have been declared, then the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to provide the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and TSIA the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event, and such items so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Per Share Merger Consideration. Nothing in this Section 2.10 shall be construed to permit the Parties to take any action except to the extent consistent with, and not otherwise prohibited by, the terms of this Agreement.

4.9 Compliance with Laws. Except where the failure to be, or to have been, in compliance with such Laws has not or would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on TSIA or prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of TSIA or Merger Sub to consummate the
29
Transactions, the businesses of each of TSIA and Merger are not, and have not been since their respective incorporations, conducted in violation of any applicable Law. Neither TSIA nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or communication of any material noncompliance with any Laws that has not been cured as of the date of this Agreement.
4.10 Investment Company Act; JOBS Act. TSIA is not an “investment company” or a Person directly or indirectly “controlled” by or acting on behalf of an “investment company,” in each case within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. TSIA constitutes an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act.
4.11 TSIA Trust Account. As of the date of this Agreement, TSIA has approximately $300,000,000 in the account established by TSIA for the benefit of its stockholders at X.X. Xxxxxx Chase Bank, N.A. (the “TSIA Trust Account”), such monies being invested in U.S. government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, having a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and held in trust pursuant to that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2020, between TSIA and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the “TSIA Trust Agreement”). The TSIA Trust Agreement is valid and in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms and has not been amended or modified. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other arrangements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the TSIA Trust Agreement in the TSIA Reports to be inaccurate or that would entitle any Person (other than any TSIA Stockholder who is a Redeeming Stockholder) to any portion of the proceeds in the TSIA Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the TSIA Trust Account may be released other than to pay Taxes and payments with respect to the redemption of any shares of TSIA Common Stock required by the Redemption Offer. There are no Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of TSIA, threatened with respect to the TSIA Trust Account. TSIA has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and is not in default, breach or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the TSIA Trust Agreement, and no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default or breach thereunder. As of the Effective Time, the obligations of TSIA to dissolve or liquidate pursuant to TSIA’s Organizational Documents shall terminate, and as of the Effective Time, TSIA shall have no obligation whatsoever pursuant to TSIA’s Organizational Documents to dissolve and liquidate the assets of TSIA by reason of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. To the Knowledge of TSIA, following the Effective Time, no TSIA Stockholder shall be entitled to receive any amount from the TSIA Trust Account except to the extent such TSIA Stockholder validly elects to redeem their shares of TSIA Common Stock in connection with the Redemption Offer. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder, neither TSIA or Merger Sub have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the TSIA Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the TSIA Trust Account will not be available to TSIA and Merger Sub on the Closing Date.

The Private Placements, together with the amount in the TSIA Trust Account at the Closing, will be in the aggregate sufficient to enable TSIA to pay all cash amounts required to be paid by TSIA under or in connection with this Agreement, including the Outstanding Company Expenses and Outstanding TSIA Expenses. There are no other Contracts between TSIA and any Subscriber relating to any Subscription Agreement, that would reasonably be expected to affect the obligations of the Subscribers to contribute to TSIA the applicable portion of the Private Placements set forth in the Subscription Agreements, and, to the Knowledge of TSIA, no facts or circumstances exist that may reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in any
30
Subscription Agreement not being satisfied, or the Private Placements not being available to TSIA, on the Closing Date. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of TSIA under any material term or condition of any Subscription Agreement and, as of the date hereof, TSIA has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis any term or condition of Closing to be satisfied by it contained in any Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreements contain all of the conditions precedent (other than the conditions contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents) to the obligations of the Subscribers to contribute to TSIA the applicable portion of the Private Placements set forth in the Subscription Agreements on the terms therein.
4.13 Valid Issuance. The shares of TSIA Common Stock issuable as Aggregate Merger Consideration, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will be issued free and clear of any Liens (other than such Liens as created by TSIA’s Organizational Documents or applicable securities Laws) or any preemptive rights.
4.14 Takeover Statutes and Charter Provisions. Each of the board of directors of TSIA and Merger Sub has taken all action necessary so that the restrictions on a “business combination” (as such term is used in Section 203 of the DGCL) contained in Section 203 of the DGCL or any similar restrictions under any foreign Laws will be inapplicable to this Agreement and the Merger. As of the date of this Agreement, no “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other antitakeover Law or similar domestic or foreign Law applies with respect to TSIA or Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement or the Merger. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no stockholder rights plan, “poison pill” or similar antitakeover agreement or plan in effect to which TSIA or Merger Sub is subject, party or otherwise bound.

(h) The Parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
