NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

Article 1
THE MERGER AND CERTAIN GOVERNANCE MATTERS

Section 1.1 Structure of the Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation following the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).

Section 1.2 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

Section 1.3 Closing; Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.1 of this Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6 of this Agreement, the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Dentons US LLP, 0000 Xxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000-0000, no later than three (3) Business Days following the satisfaction (or waiver by the party entitled to the benefit thereof) of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article 6 (other than the conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of such conditions), or at such other time, date and place as Parent and the Company may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.” At the Closing, the Parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by executing and filing, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a Certificate of Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with respect to the Merger, satisfying the applicable requirements of the DGCL and in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company. The Merger shall become effective at the time of the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later time as may be specified in the Certificate of Merger with the consent of Parent and the Company (the time upon which the Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers; Name Change. At the Effective Time:

(a) the Certificate of Incorporation of Parent shall be amended to cause the name of Parent to be changed to “Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc.,” and, as so amended, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of Parent, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such Certificate of Incorporation.

(b) the Bylaws of Parent shall be the Bylaws of Parent, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and the Certificate of Incorporation of Parent.

(d) the directors and officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time until such time as their respective successors are duly elected or appointed.

Section 1.5 Conversion of Shares and Notes.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder of any of the foregoing:

(i) any shares of Company Common Stock owned as treasury stock of the Company or owned by Parent or by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) subject to Section 1.5(b), each share of Company Common Stock (including all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i) and Dissenting Shares), including shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Company Convertible Notes pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(iii) shall be automatically converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio;

(iii) to the extent provided for therein, each Company Convertible Note outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof; and

(iv) except as provided in clause (iii), above, each Company Convertible Note outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding after the Effective Time and convertible into shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with its terms.

(b) If any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option or the risk of forfeiture or under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with the Company (other than those shares (if any) which, as a result of the Merger, shall, by the terms of the agreements applicable thereto, vest or for which any such repurchase options or other such restrictions or risks of forfeiture shall lapse), then the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares of Company Common Stock will to the same extent be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture, and the certificates representing such shares of Parent Common Stock shall accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. The Company shall take all action that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, Parent is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement in accordance with its terms.

(c) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share, and upon surrender by such holder of a letter of transmittal in accordance with Section 1.8 and accompanying documents as required therein, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the average closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on NASDAQ for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending with the second (2nd) to last trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Each share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(e) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock or Parent Capital Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any Permitted Parent Reorganization, any Permitted Company Reorganization, any Permitted Parent Issuance, stock dividend, subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, split, reverse split (excluding the Reverse Stock Split which shall be effective immediately prior to the Effective Time), combination or exchange of shares or other like change (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into shares of Company Capital Stock or Parent Capital Stock), the Exchange Ratio, to the extent necessary, shall be correspondingly adjusted to provide the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options, Company Warrants and Company Convertible Notes the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

(f) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Company Warrants and Company Convertible Notes converted in accordance with this Section 1.6.

Section 1.6 Company Stock Options and Company Warrants.

(a) At the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into and become an option to purchase Parent Common Stock, and the Company Stock Option Plan shall be assumed by Parent. All rights with respect to the Company Common Stock under each Company Stock Option assumed by Parent shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Parent Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Company Stock Option assumed by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock, (ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Company Stock Option assumed by Parent shall be determined by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Stock Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Exchange Ratio, with the resulting number rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, (iii) the exercise price per share for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each assumed Company Stock Option will equal the quotient obtained from dividing (x) the exercise price per share for the Company Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the assumed Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, with the resulting exercise price rounded up to the nearest whole cent, and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any assumed Company Stock Option shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule, status as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code, if applicable, and other provisions of such Company Stock Option will otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that: (1) to the extent provided under the terms of a Company Stock Option, such Company Stock Option assumed by Parent in accordance with this Section 1.6(a) will, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to Parent Common Stock subsequent to the Effective Time, (2) Parent’s Board of Directors or an authorized committee thereof will succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors or any authorized committee thereof with respect to each Company Stock Option assumed by Parent, and (3) all references in the Company Stock Option Plan and applicable award agreements to the Company shall be deemed to mean Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.6(a), the conversion of each Company Stock Option (regardless of whether such option qualifies as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) into an option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock will be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that the conversion of a Company Stock Option will not constitute a “modification” of such Company Stock Option for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code. It is the intention of the parties that each Company Stock Option so assumed by Parent shall qualify following the Effective Time as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and to the extent such Company Stock Option qualified as an incentive stock option prior to the Effective Time.

(b) At the Effective Time, each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into and become a warrant to purchase Parent Common Stock, and the Company Warrant shall be assumed by Parent. All rights with respect to the Company Common Stock under each Company Warrant assumed by Parent shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Parent Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Company Warrant assumed by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock, (ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Company Warrant assumed by Parent shall be determined by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Exchange Ratio, with the resulting number rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, (iii) the exercise price per share for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each assumed Company Warrant will equal the quotient obtained from dividing (x) the exercise price per share for the Company Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the assumed Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, with the resulting exercise price rounded up to the nearest whole cent, and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any assumed Company Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, and other provisions of such Company Warrant will otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that, to the extent provided under the terms of a Company Warrant, such Company Warrant assumed by Parent in accordance with this Section 1.6(b) will, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to Parent Common Stock subsequent to the Effective Time. Except as provided above in this Section 1.6(b), each Company Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding after the Effective Time and exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with its terms.

(c) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, subject to Section 1.6(a), Parent shall deliver to the former holders of the Company Stock Options and Company Warrants an appropriate notice evidencing the foregoing assumption setting forth the specific adjustments made to the assumed Company Stock Options and Company Warrants, as provided in this Section 1.6.

(d) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Company Stock Options and Company Warrants assumed in accordance with this Section 1.6. As soon as practicable (but in no event more than ten (10) business days after the Effective Time), Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such assumed Company Stock Options, and thereafter shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of that registration statement for as long as any such assumed Company Stock Options remain outstanding.

Section 1.7 Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.5 and Section 1.8.

Section 1.8 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of certificates formerly representing the Company Common Stock (“Certificates”), certificates or book-entry shares representing shares of Parent Common Stock and holders of Company Convertible Notes described in Section 1.5(a)(iii) (“Converted Notes”) in the aggregate amount equal to the Merger Shares. In addition, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.8(c). All shares of Parent Common Stock, cash, dividends and distributions deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 1.8(a) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within five Business Days), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Converted Note (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate or Converted Note shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificate or Converted Note to the Exchange Agent and which shall be in customary form and contain customary provisions), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificate or Converted Note in exchange for the Merger Shares, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.8(c). Each holder of record of one or more Certificates or Converted Notes shall, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of such Certificate or Converted Note, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, be entitled to receive promptly in exchange therefor (i) a certificate or certificates or book-entry shares representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates and Converted Notes surrendered by such holder) to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.8(a), and (ii) any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.8(c), and the Certificate or Converted Note so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of the Company Common Stock or Converted Note that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Shares in accordance with Section 1.8(a) may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate or Converted Note so surrendered is registered if such Certificate or Converted Note shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the transfer or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.8(b), each Certificate and Converted Note shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Shares and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.8(c). No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any payment to holders of Certificates or Converted Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Article 1.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Converted Note with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock that the holder thereof has the right to receive upon the surrender thereof, until the holder of such Certificate or Converted Note shall have surrendered such Certificate or Converted Note in accordance with this Article 1. Following the surrender of any Certificate or Converted Note, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificate representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date on or after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date on or after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in the Company Common Stock. The Merger Shares and any dividends or other distributions as are payable pursuant to Section 1.8(c) upon the surrender of Certificates and Converted Notes in accordance with the terms of this Article 1 shall be deemed to have been in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates, subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been declared or made by the Company on the Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Termination of the Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Converted Notes one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of the Certificates or Converted Notes who have not theretofore complied with this Article 1 shall thereafter look only to Parent for, and Parent shall remain liable for, payment of their claim for the Merger Shares and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.8(c) in accordance with this Article 1.

(f) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any shares of Parent Common Stock, cash, dividends or other distributions from the Exchange Fund properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate or Converted Note shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate or Converted Note to be lost, stolen or destroyed (and without the requirement to post or deliver any bond), the Exchange Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate or Converted Note the Merger Shares, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.8(c) pursuant to this Article 1.

(h) Withholding Rights. Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law and shall be entitled to request any reasonably appropriate Tax forms, including an IRS Form W-9 (or the appropriate IRS Form W-8, as applicable), from any recipient of payments hereunder; provided that the Parties shall cooperate and undertake commercially reasonable efforts to minimize or avoid withholding, and the applicable withholding agent shall use best efforts to provide written notice (to the applicable Party) of any intention to withhold (or determination that the Exchange Agent may withhold) (other than any such withholding that is imposed on consideration that is properly treated as compensation for applicable income, employment and/or payroll Tax purposes) at least five (5) Business Days before the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts (i) subject to (ii), shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Certificates in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, and (ii) shall be remitted by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, to the applicable Governmental Authority. Any amounts payable hereunder that require employment Tax withholding shall be paid through the Company’s payroll.

Section 1.9 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are owned by stockholders who have validly exercised appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights for such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the per share amount of the Merger Shares described in Section 1.5 attributable to such Dissenting Shares.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that the Company shall not have breached its obligations under this Section 4.5(b), the Board of Directors of the Company may effect a Company Change of Recommendation in the case of a Company Superior Offer, or may terminate this Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Company Superior Offer pursuant to Section 7.1(k), if prior to taking any such action:

(A) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that a Company Change of Recommendation is required in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws based upon the receipt of a Company Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof that has not been withdrawn that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, constitutes a Company Superior Offer, but only at a time that is prior to the approval of the Company Stockholder Proposals at the Company Stockholder Meeting and is after 11:59 pm, New York City time, on the fourth Business Day following Parent’s receipt of written notice (a “Company Change of Recommendation Notice”) advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company desires to effect a Company Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such the Company Superior Offer pursuant to Section 7.1(j) (and the manner and timing in which it intends to do so, and specifying the identity of the Person making the Company Acquisition Proposal), unredacted written copies of all proposed transaction agreements relating to such the Company Acquisition Proposal and any other materials provided by such Person in connection with such the Company Acquisition Proposal (such four (4) Business Day period, the “Company Notice Period”);

(B) the Company provides Parent with a reasonable opportunity to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and negotiates (and causes its Representatives to negotiate) in good faith with Parent and its Representatives with respect thereto during the Company Notice Period, in each case as would enable the Board of Directors of the Company or committee thereof to conclude that the Company Acquisition Proposal that was determined to be a Company Superior Offer is no longer a Company Superior Offer; and

(C) following the end of the Company Notice Period, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that after considering the terms of any revised terms proposed by the by Parent, the failure to effect a Company Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Company Superior Offer pursuant to Section 7.1(j) is still required in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws.

Any changes to the financial terms or other material terms of such the Company Superior Offer occurring prior to a Company Change of Recommendation pursuant to this Section 4.5(a)(iv) shall require the Company to provide to Parent a new Company Change of Recommendation Notice and a new Company Notice Period and to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.5(a)(iv) with respect to each such Company Change of Recommendation Notice, except that the references to the “fourth Business Day” shall be deemed to be the “later of (1) the second Business Day, and (2) the period remaining under the original four (4) Business Day Company Notice Period immediately prior to the delivery of such notice pursuant to this sentence,” during which the Board of Directors of the Company shall not make a Company Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(j) prior to the end of any such period as so extended. Any Company Change of Recommendation shall not change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the Board of Directors of the Company, including in any respect that would have the effect of causing any state (including Delaware) corporate takeover statute or other similar statute to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Merger.

(v) Nothing in this Section 4.5(a) shall prohibit the Company from complying with Rule 14e-2 or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to a Company Acquisition Proposal, respectively, or from the Board of Directors of the Company making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that taking such action or making such disclosure would be required to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws; provided that in any event the Board of Directors of the Company shall not make or resolve to make a Company Change of Recommendation except in accordance with Section 4.5(a)(iv) or otherwise take, agree or resolve to take any action prohibited or governed by this Section 4.5(a) except in accordance with this Section 4.5(a).

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company may effect a Company Change of Recommendation in response to a Company Intervening Event at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval in the event that the Board of Directors of the Company determines (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that a Company Change of Recommendation in response to such Company Intervening Event is required in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws; provided that, prior to effecting a Company Change of Recommendation pursuant to this Section 4.5(a)(vi), the Board of Directors of the Company shall have given Parent at least four (4) business days’ notice of its intention to effect a Company Change of Recommendation pursuant to this Section 4.5(a)(vi) (which notice shall include the reason (in reasonable detail) for such Company Change of Recommendation) and, if requested by Parent, the Company shall have met and negotiated in good faith with Parent regarding modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Board of Directors of the Company no longer determines that a Company Change of Recommendation in response to such Company Intervening Event is required in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws.

(B) “Parent Superior Offer” shall mean an unsolicited bona fide Parent Acquisition Proposal (with all references to “fifteen percent (15%)” in the definition of Parent Acquisition Proposal being treated as references to “one hundred percent (100%)” for these purposes) made by a third party after the date hereof that the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, and after taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory, and other aspects of such Parent Acquisition Proposal, (1) is more favorable from a financial point of view to the Parent Stockholders than as provided hereunder (including any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by the Company in response to such Parent Superior Offer pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4.5(b)(iv) or otherwise), (2) is not subject to any financing condition (and if financing is required, such financing is then fully committed to the third party), (3) is reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed without unreasonable delay, and (4) includes termination rights exercisable by Parent on terms no less favorable to Parent than the terms set forth in this Agreement, all from a third party capable of performing such terms.

(iii) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4.5(b)(iv), neither the Board of Directors of Parent nor any committee of the Board of Directors of Parent shall (A) fail to make, withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend, change or resolve or publicly propose or announce its intention to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or change in a manner adverse to the Company, the Parent Recommendation, (B) fail to recommend against acceptance of a tender or exchange offer within ten (10) Business Days after commencement, (C) adopt, approve, endorse, recommend or declare advisable, or resolve or publicly propose to or announce its intention to adopt, approve, endorse, recommend or declare advisable, any Parent Acquisition Proposal, or (D) make any public statement inconsistent with the Parent Recommendation (any action described in this sentence being referred to as a “Parent Change of Recommendation”).

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that Parent shall not have breached its obligations under this Section 4.5(b), the Board of Directors of Parent may effect a Parent Change of Recommendation in the case of a Parent Superior Offer, or may terminate this Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Parent Superior Offer pursuant to Section 7.1(k), if prior to taking any such action:

(A) the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that a Parent Change of Recommendation is required in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws based upon the receipt of a Parent Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof that has not been withdrawn that the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, constitutes a Parent Superior Offer, but only at a time that is prior to the approval of the Parent Stockholder Proposals at the Parent Stockholder Meeting and is after 11:59 pm, New York City time, on the fourth Business Day following the Company’s receipt of written notice (a “Parent Change of Recommendation Notice”) advising the Company that the Board of Directors of Parent desires to effect a Parent Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Parent Superior Offer pursuant to Section 7.1(k) (and the manner and timing in which it intends to do so, and specifying the identity of the Person making the Parent Acquisition Proposal), unredacted written copies of all proposed transaction agreements relating to such Parent Acquisition Proposal and any other materials provided by such Person in connection with such Parent Acquisition Proposal (such four (4) Business Day period, the “Parent Notice Period”);

(B) Parent provides the Company with a reasonable opportunity to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and negotiates (and causes its Representatives to negotiate) in good faith with the Company and its Representatives with respect thereto during the Parent Notice Period, in each case as would enable the Board of Directors of Parent or committee thereof to conclude that the Parent Acquisition Proposal that was determined to be a Parent Superior Offer is no longer a Parent Superior Offer; and

(C) following the end of the Parent Notice Period, the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that after considering the terms of any revised terms proposed by the by the Company, the failure to effect a Parent Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Parent Superior Offer pursuant to Section 7.1(k) is still required in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws.

Any changes to the financial terms or other material terms of such Parent Superior Offer occurring prior to a Parent Change of Recommendation pursuant to this Section 4.5(b)(iv) shall require Parent to provide to the Company a new Parent Change of Recommendation Notice and a new Parent Notice Period and to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.5(b)(iv) with respect to each such Parent Change of Recommendation Notice, except that the references to the “fourth Business Day” shall be deemed to be the “later of (1) the second Business Day, and (2) the period remaining under the original four (4) Business Day Parent Notice Period immediately prior to the delivery of such notice pursuant to this sentence,” during which the Board of Directors of Parent shall not make a Parent Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(k) prior to the end of any such period as so extended. Any Parent Change of Recommendation shall not change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the Board of Directors of Parent, including in any respect that would have the effect of causing any state (including Delaware) corporate takeover statute or other similar statute to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Merger.

(v) Nothing in this Section 4.5(b) shall prohibit Parent from complying with Rule 14e-2 or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to a Parent Acquisition Proposal, respectively, or from the Board of Directors of Parent making any disclosure to the Parent Stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Parent, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that taking such action or making such disclosure would be required to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws; provided that in any event the Board of Directors of Parent shall not make or resolve to make a Parent Change of Recommendation except in accordance with Section 4.5(b)(iv) or otherwise take, agree or resolve to take any action prohibited or governed by this Section 4.5(b) except in accordance with this Section 4.5(b).

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Board of Directors of Parent may effect a Parent Change of Recommendation in response to a Parent Intervening Event at any time prior to obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval in the event that the Board of Directors of Parent determines (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that a Parent Change of Recommendation in response to such Parent Intervening Event is required in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws; provided that, prior to effecting a Parent Change of Recommendation pursuant to this Section 4.5(b)(vi), the Board of Directors of Parent shall have given the Company at least four (4) business days’ notice of its intention to effect a Parent Change of Recommendation pursuant to this Section 4.5(b)(vi) (which notice shall include the reason (in reasonable detail) for such Parent Change of Recommendation) and, if requested by the Company, Parent shall have met and negotiated in good faith with the Company regarding modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Board of Directors of Parent no longer determines that a Parent Change of Recommendation in response to such Parent Intervening Event is required in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws.

(c) Both the Company and Parent shall notify the other no later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt of any Company Acquisition Proposal or Parent Acquisition Proposal or any inquiries, discussions, negotiations, proposals, expressions of interest or requests for information that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal or Parent Acquisition Proposal, respectively, and any such notice shall be made orally or in writing and shall indicate in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of such proposal, inquiry, contact or request, including price, and the identity of the offeror, and shall be accompanied by a copy of such Company Acquisition Proposal or Parent Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, inquiry, proposal, expression of interest or request (if written). If the Company is in receipt of a Company Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall notify Parent, in writing, of any decision of the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof as to whether to consider any Company Acquisition Proposal or to enter into discussions or negotiations concerning any Company Acquisition Proposal or to provide nonpublic information with respect to such Company Acquisition Proposal to any Person, and if Parent is in receipt of a Parent Acquisition Proposal, Parent shall notify the Company, in writing, of any decision of the Board of Directors of Parent or any committee thereof as to whether to consider any Parent Acquisition Proposal or to enter into discussions or negotiations concerning any Parent Acquisition Proposal or to provide nonpublic information with respect to such Parent Acquisition Proposal to any Person, which notice in any such case shall be given no later than twenty-four (24) hours after such determination is reached. Both the Company and Parent shall keep the other informed, on a current basis, of the status and material developments (including any changes to the terms) of such Company Acquisition Proposal or Parent Acquisition Proposal, respectively, including by providing a copy of all written proposals and a summary of all oral proposals or material oral modifications to an earlier written proposal, in each case relating to any Company Acquisition Proposal or Parent Acquisition Proposal, as applicable.

(d) The Company and Parent shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal or Parent Acquisition Proposal. The Company and Parent shall each immediately revoke or withdraw access of any Person (other than Parent, the Company and their respective Representatives) to any data room (virtual or actual) containing any nonpublic information with respect to the Company or Parent, as applicable, and request from each third party (other than Parent, the Company and their Representatives) the prompt return or destruction of all nonpublic information with respect to the Company or Parent, as applicable, previously provided or made accessible to such Person.

Section 5.8 Disclosure. Without limiting any of either Party’s obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement, each Party shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or any Representative of such Party to, issue any press release or make any public disclosure regarding the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions unless: (a) the other Party shall have approved such press release or disclosure in writing, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, or (b) such Party shall have determined in good faith, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, that such disclosure is required by applicable Laws, in which case such Party shall use reasonable best efforts before such press release or disclosure is issued or made, to advise the other Party of, and consult with the other Party regarding, the text of such press release or other disclosure and allow such other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment on such release or other disclosure in advance of such issuance and consider all such comments in good faith; provided, that the foregoing clause (b) shall not apply to the press release and a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by each of Parent and the Company in connection with the initial announcement of the Merger Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions; provided, further, that each of the Company and Parent may make any public statement in response to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements are consistent with the filings contemplated in Section 5.1(a) or press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the Company or Parent in compliance with this Section 5.8.

Section 5.11 Tax Matters.

(a) For U.S. federal and state income Tax purposes, the parties hereto intend that the Merger will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company (i) shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger, together with the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock to the Company Stockholders, to qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code, and (ii) agree not to, and not to take any actions or positions or cause or permit any action or position to be taken or fail to take or cause to be failed to be taken any actions or positions, which action, position or failure would or could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Merger, together with the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock to the Company Stockholders, from qualifying as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code.

Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company shall treat, and shall not take any tax reporting position inconsistent with the treatment of, the Merger, together with the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock to the Company Stockholders, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal, state and other relevant Tax purposes, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 8.12 of the Spinoff Agreement, the net operating losses of the Parent California Subsidiary shall follow such Subsidiary after the Spinoff to the extent permitted under applicable Law. None of Parent or the Company shall make any election with respect to the net operating losses of the Parent California Subsidiary without the prior written approval of the Parent California Subsidiary, which approval shall be provided by the Parent California Subsidiary in its sole and absolute discretion.

Section 5.12 Cooperation. Each Party shall cooperate reasonably with the other Party and shall provide the other Party with such assistance as may be reasonably requested for the purpose of facilitating the performance by each Party of their obligations under this Agreement and to enable the combined entity to continue to meet its obligations following the Closing.

Section 5.13 Directors and Officers of Parent.

(a) At and immediately after the Effective Time, the directors of Parent shall be those Persons specified or designated as provided in Schedule 5.13(a), who shall include up to six Persons designated by the Company and one Person designated by Parent and who shall serve until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal. Parent shall take all actions necessary to cause such Company designees to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors of Parent. If any Person listed or designated in Schedule 5.13(a) is unable or unwilling to serve as a director of Parent as set forth therein, the Party designating such Person (as set forth in Schedule 5.13(a)) shall designate a successor.

Section 5.15 Allocation Certificate and Capitalization Certificate. The Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent setting forth (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) (i) each record holder of Company Capital Stock, Company Stock Options, Company Warrants and Company Convertible Notes, (ii) such holder’s name and address, (iii) the number and type of Company Capital Stock held by such holder, (iv) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the Company Stock Options, Company Warrants or Company Convertible Notes as of the Closing Date for each such holder, (v) the number and type of Company Capital Stock issuable or exchangeable for any other indebtedness of the Company, and (vi) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to such holder pursuant to this Agreement in respect of the Company Capital Stock, or to be issued pursuant to this Agreement upon exercise or conversion of any Company Stock Options, Company Warrants or Company Convertible Notes or in exchange for any other Company indebtedness held by such holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Allocation Certificate”). Except in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, the Company (and Parent after the Effective Time for a period of six (6) months after the Effective Time) shall not amend the terms of any Company Stock Options, Company Warrants, Company Convertible Notes or such other Company Indebtedness after the delivery of the Company Allocation Certificate, whether before or after the Effective Time, to increase the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof or to substitute any other share of Capital Stock of Parent to be issued upon exercise of any such Company Stock Options, Company Warrants, Company Convertible Notes or such other Company indebtedness after the Effective Time. The Spinoff Agreement shall provide that if Parent (or the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary of Parent after the Effective Time) converts any Company Indebtedness (other than Company Convertible Notes that are included in the calculation of the Exchange Ratio) into equity during the six (6) month period after closing, Parent will issue shares of the same class of stock issued in connection with such conversion to the Parent California Subsidiary. The number of shares to be issued to the Parent California Subsidiary will cause the Parent California Subsidiary to own 5.9% of the total number of shares issued in such debt conversion (including the shares issued to the Parent California Subsidiary) in excess of the number of shares included in the calculation of the Exchange Ratio.

(b) Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of Parent in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company setting forth (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) (i) each record holder of Parent Capital Stock, Parent Stock Options, Parent Warrants, and other instrument exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Parent Capital Stock, (ii) such holder’s name and address and (iii) the number and type of Parent Capital Stock held and/or underlying the Parent Stock Options, Parent Warrants or such instrument as of the Closing Date for each such holder (the “Parent Capitalization Certificate”).

Section 5.17 Termination of Certain Agreements and Rights. Parent shall cause the Contracts set forth on Section 5.17 Parent Disclosure Schedule to be either (a) transferred to the Parent California Subsidiary or (b) terminated immediately prior to the Effective Time, without any material liability being imposed on the part of Parent or the Surviving Corporation.
