Section 1.2 New Shares. In the event that (a) any shares of GX Common Stock, GX Warrants or other equity securities of GX are issued to a Sponsor after the date of this Sponsor Agreement pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares of GX Common Stock or GX Warrants of, on or affecting the shares of GX Common Stock or GX Warrants owned by such Sponsor or otherwise, (b) a Sponsor purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any shares of GX Common Stock, GX Warrants or other equity securities of GX after the date of this Sponsor Agreement, or (c) a Sponsor acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of any shares of GX Common Stock or other equity securities of GX after the date of this Sponsor Agreement (such shares of GX Common Stock, GX Warrants or other equity securities of GX, collectively the “New Securities”), then such New Securities acquired or purchased by such Sponsor shall be subject to the terms of this Sponsor Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the shares of GX Common Stock or GX Warrants owned by such Sponsor as of the date hereof.

Section 1.3 Closing Date Deliverables. On the Closing Date, the Sponsor Holdco and the Director Holders (as defined therein) shall deliver to GX and the Company a duly executed copy of that certain Registration Rights Agreement, by and among GX, the Sponsor Holdco, the Target Holders and the Investor Stockholders (as defined therein), in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement.

Section 1.4 Sponsor Agreements.

(a) At any meeting of the shareholders of GX, however called, or at any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of the shareholders of GX is sought, each Sponsor shall (i) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of its shares of GX Common Stock to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (ii) vote (or cause to be voted), or execute and deliver a written consent (or cause a written consent to be executed and delivered) covering, all of its shares of GX Common Stock:

Each Sponsor hereby agrees that it shall not commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing.

(b) Each Sponsor shall comply with, and fully perform all of its obligations, covenants and agreements set forth in, that certain Letter Agreement, dated May 20, 2019, by and among the Sponsors and GX (the “Voting Letter Agreement”), including the obligations of the Sponsors pursuant to Section 1 therein to not redeem any shares of GX Common Stock owned by such Sponsor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Each Sponsor shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable Laws to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and herein.

ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Sponsors. Each Sponsor represents and warrants as of the date hereof to GX and the Company (solely with respect to itself, himself or herself and not with respect to any other Sponsor) as follows:

(a) Organization; Due Authorization. If such Sponsor is not an individual, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, formed, organized or constituted, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Sponsor Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such Sponsor’s corporate, limited liability company or organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or organizational actions on the part of such Sponsor. If such Sponsor is an individual, such Sponsor has full legal capacity, right and authority to execute and deliver this Sponsor Agreement and to perform his or her obligations hereunder. This Sponsor Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Sponsor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties to this Sponsor Agreement, this Sponsor Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of such Sponsor, enforceable against such Sponsor in accordance with the terms hereof (subject to the Remedies Exceptions). If this Sponsor Agreement is being executed in a representative or fiduciary capacity, the Person signing this Sponsor Agreement has full power and authority to enter into this Sponsor Agreement on behalf of the applicable Sponsor.

(b) Ownership. Such Sponsor is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in the Securities Act) of, and has good title to, all of such Sponsor’s shares of GX Common Stock and GX Warrants, and there exist no Liens or any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such shares of GX Common Stock or GX Warrants (other than transfer restrictions under the Securities Act)) affecting any such shares of GX Common Stock or GX Warrants, other than Liens pursuant to (i) this Sponsor Agreement, (ii) the GX Organizational Documents, (iii) the Merger Agreement, (iv) the Voting Letter Agreement or (v) any applicable securities Laws. Such Sponsor’s shares of GX Common Stock and GX Warrants are the only equity securities in GX owned of record or beneficially by such Sponsor on the date of this Sponsor Agreement, and none of such Sponsor’s shares of GX Common Stock or GX Warrants are subject to any proxy, voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of such shares of GX Common Stock or GX Warrants, except as provided hereunder and under the Voting Letter Agreement. Other than the GX Warrants, such Sponsor does not hold or own any rights to acquire (directly or indirectly) any equity securities of GX or any equity securities convertible into, or which can be exchanged for, equity securities of GX.

(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Sponsor Agreement by such Sponsor does not, and the performance by such Sponsor of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, (i) if such Sponsor is not an individual, conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Sponsor or (ii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any Contract binding upon such Sponsor or such Sponsor’s shares of GX Common Stock or GX Warrants), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Sponsor of its, his or her obligations under this Sponsor Agreement.

(d) Litigation. There are no Actions pending against such Sponsor, or to the knowledge of such Sponsor threatened against such Sponsor, before (or, in the case of threatened Actions, that would be before) any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Sponsor of its, his or her obligations under this Sponsor Agreement.

(e) Brokerage Fees. Except for Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, no broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee or other commission in connection with the Transactions upon arrangements made by such Sponsor, for which GX or any of its Affiliates may become liable.

(f) Affiliate Arrangements. Except as set forth on Schedule II attached hereto, neither such Sponsor nor any anyone related by blood, marriage or adoption to such Sponsor or, to the knowledge of such Sponsor, any Person in which such Sponsor has a direct or indirect legal, contractual or beneficial ownership of 5% or greater is party to, or has any rights with respect to or arising from, any Contract with GX or its Subsidiaries.

(g) Acknowledgment. Such Sponsor understands and acknowledges that each of GX and the Company is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such Sponsor’s execution and delivery of this Sponsor Agreement.
