The Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall not permit any Transfer of the Securities in violation of this Agreement. Each Insider agrees with, and covenants to, the Purchaser and the Company that such Insider shall not request that the Purchaser register the Transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any Security during the Voting Period without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the Company, and the Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall not effect any such Transfer.
(b) Permitted Transfers. Section 5(a) shall not prohibit a Transfer of Securities by an Insider (i) to any shareholder, member or partner of such Insider or (ii) to any Affiliate of such Insider, so long as, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), the assignee or transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and executes and delivers to the parties hereto a written consent and joinder memorializing such agreement. During the term of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not register or otherwise recognize the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any Subject Shares or any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Subject Shares, except as permitted by, and in accordance with, this Section 5(b).
(c) Changes to Securities. In the event of a share dividend or distribution, or any change in the share capital of the Purchaser by reason of any share dividend or distribution, share split, recapitalization, combination, conversion, exchange of shares or the like, the term “Securities” also shall be deemed to refer to and include the Securities as well as all such share dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Securities may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction. Each Insider agrees during the Voting Period to notify the Purchaser and the Company promptly in writing of the number and type of any changes to such Insider’s ownership of or voting control with respect to any Securities, upon such Insider’s acquisition or commitment to acquire any additional Securities or upon any other changes involving such Insider relating to the share capital or securities convertible or exercisable for securities of the Purchaser.
(d) Compliance with Business Combination Agreement. During the Voting Period, each Insider agrees not to take or agree or commit to take any action that would make any representation and warranty of such Insider contained in this Agreement inaccurate in any material respect. During the Voting Period, each Insider further agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effect the Mergers and all other Transactions, the Business Combination Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the provisions of this Agreement.
(e) Publicity. Each Insider agrees that such Insider shall not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to the Transactions or the transactions contemplated herein without the prior written approval of the Company and the Purchaser. Each Insider hereby authorizes the Company and the Purchaser to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the SEC, Nasdaq or the Registration Statement (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC in connection with the foregoing), such Insider’s identity and ownership of such Insider’s Securities and the nature of such Insider’s commitments and agreements under this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement and any of the Ancillary Documents.
6. Representations and Warranties of Each Insider. Each Insider hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser and the Company as follows:
(a) Binding Agreement. Such Insider, if an entity, (i) is a corporation, limited liability company, company or partnership duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and (ii) has all necessary organizational power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Such Insider, if an individual, has the legal capacity and ability to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform his or her obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of such Insider’s obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by such Insider has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability, partnership or other required action on the part of such Insider, as applicable. This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Insider, enforceable against such Insider in accordance with its terms (except as such enforcement may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions). Such Insider understands and acknowledges that the Purchaser and the Company are entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Insider.
(b) Ownership of Securities. Such Insider has beneficial ownership over all of its respective Insider Shares (the “Securities”), is the lawful owner of such Securities, has the sole power to vote or cause to be voted such Securities, and has good and valid title to such Securities, free and clear of any and all pledges, mortgages, encumbrances, charges, proxies, voting agreements, liens, adverse claims, options, security interests and demands of any nature or kind whatsoever, other than those imposed by the Business Combination Agreement, this Agreement, the other Ancillary Documents, applicable securities Laws or the Insider Letter. There are no claims for finder’s fees or brokerage commissions or other like payments in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby payable by such Insider pursuant to arrangements made by such Insider.

(c) No Conflicts. No filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Authority, and no consent, approval, authorization or permit of any other Person is necessary for the execution of this Agreement by such Insider, the performance of such Insider’s obligations hereunder or the consummation by such Insider of the transactions contemplated hereby. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Insider, the performance of such Insider’s obligations hereunder or the consummation by such Insider of the transactions contemplated hereby shall (i) conflict with or result in any breach of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other comparable organizational documents of such Insider, as applicable, (ii) result in, or give rise to, a violation or breach of or a default under any of the terms of any Contract or obligation to which such Insider is a party or by which such Insider or any of the Securities or such Insider’s other assets may be bound, or (iii) violate any applicable Law or Order, except for any of the foregoing in clauses (ii) and (iii) as would not reasonably be expected to impair such Insider’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

(a) Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and none of the Purchaser, the Company or any Insider shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, with respect to the representations and warranties and covenants hereunder (except as expressly set forth below), upon the earliest to occur of (i) the written agreement of the Purchaser, the Company and the Insiders, (ii) the Effective Time, and (iii) the date of termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms.

In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement; (iv) the term “or” means “and/or” and (v) the term “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any specified Person, any other Person or group of Persons acting together that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified Person (where the term “control” (and any correlative terms) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise). The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, 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.

Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Purchaser, the Company and the Insiders. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.
(i) Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
(j) Specific Performance. Each Insider acknowledges that such Insider’s obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by such Insider, money damages will be inadequate and the Company and the Purchaser will not have adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by such Insider in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Company and the Purchaser shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by any Insider and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

(l) No Partnership, Agency or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship among any Insider, the Company and/or the Purchaser, and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship among the parties hereto or among any other shareholders of the Purchaser entering into voting agreements with the Company or the Purchaser. Each Insider has acted independently regarding its decision to enter into this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in the Company or the Purchaser any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Securities.
(m) Further Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s request and without further consideration, each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(n) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to the extent applicable) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Document.
