2. Lock-Up.
2.1 Lock-Up. Each Lock-Up Party severally, and not jointly, agrees with DCRB not to effect any Transfer of any Lock-Up Securities Beneficially Owned or otherwise held by such Lock-Up Party during the Lock-Up Period (as defined below); provided, that such prohibition shall not apply to Transfers permitted pursuant to Section 2.2.

3. Additional Agreements.
3.1 Confidentiality. Until the Expiration Time, each Lock-Up Party will and will direct their Affiliates to keep confidential and not disclose any non-public information relating to DCRB or the Company and their respective subsidiaries, including the existence or terms of, or transactions contemplated by, this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, except to the extent that such information (i) was, is or becomes generally available to the public after the date hereof other than as a result of a disclosure by such Lock-Up Party in breach of this Section 3.1, (ii) is, was or becomes available to such Lock-Up Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than DCRB or the Company, or (iii) is or was independently developed by such Lock-Up Party after the date hereof.

3.2 DCRB Board Release. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that, from and after the Closing Date, the Board of Directors of DCRB shall be entitled to release any Lock-Up Party from any or all of its obligations hereunder, in each case on behalf of DCRB and the Company, provided, however, that if one Lock-Up Party is released, the other Lock-Up Parties shall also be similarly released to the same relative extent as the released Lock-Up Party.
4. Representations and Warranties of the Lock-Up Parties. Each Lock-Up Party hereby represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, to the Company and DCRB as follows:
4.1 Due Authority. Such Lock-Up Party has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder. If such Lock-Up Party is an individual, the signature to this agreement is genuine and such Lock-Up Party has legal competence and capacity to execute the same. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Lock-Up Party and, assuming due execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Lock-Up Party, enforceable against such Lock-Up Party in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, by general equitable principles.
