SECTION 3.01. Conversion of Securities.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(i) (A) each share of Company Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares converted pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii)) shall be converted into the right to receive, and the holder of such share of Company Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, as applicable, the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration in accordance with Subsections 2.1 through 2.3 of the Company Certificate of Incorporation (the “Deemed Liquidation Event Provisions”) and (B) each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares), shall be converted into the right to receive, and the holder of such share of Company Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, the Per Share Common Stock Consideration in accordance with the Deemed Liquidation Event Provisions;

(ii) all shares of Company Capital Stock held in the treasury of the Company shall be canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto;

(iii) each share of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation; and

(iv) each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be converted at the Effective Time into an option to purchase, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including applicable vesting conditions, the number of shares of New Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number) (such option, a “Holdco Option”) determined by multiplying the Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Per Share Common Stock Consideration and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of New Parent Common Stock, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) determined by dividing the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Per Share Common Stock Consideration; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of New Parent Common Stock subject to the Holdco Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and, in the case of any Company Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. At or prior to the Effective Time, the parties and their boards, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Options pursuant to this subsection including but not limited to (1) any amendment of the Company Option Plan and any other ancillary documentation and (2) the signing of the relevant documentation with the Company Optionholders.

(b) At the Effective Time, Parent shall issue shares of New Parent Common Stock to the holders of Senior Notes then outstanding in accordance with the terms of the Senior Notes and the Exchange Agreements.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a share of New Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger or the other Transactions and, for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of shares of New Parent Common Stock issuable to each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.01, all shares of Company Capital Stock held by such holder shall be aggregated amongst themselves and the aggregate number of shares of New Parent Common Stock to be issued in respect of such aggregate number of shares held by such holder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares or units eliminated by rounding. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the value of the aggregate amount of Per Share Common Stock Consideration and the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement excluding Section 3.01(b) (the “Aggregate Consideration”) (with each share of New Parent Common Stock comprising a part of the Aggregate Consideration deemed to have a value of ten dollars ($10) per share) plus the value of the aggregate number of shares New Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Holdco Options determined pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iv) (with each share of New Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Holdco Options deemed to have a value of ten dollars ($10) per share) shall not exceed the Consideration Cap. The Company Board has determined in good faith that the value of each share of New Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall have a value of ten dollars ($10) per share pursuant to Section 2.3.3 of the Company Certificate of Incorporation. For the avoidance of doubt, shares of New Parent Common Stock issuable to the holders of Senior Notes upon conversion of Senior Notes shall not be included in the Aggregate Consideration, and shall be issued pursuant to Section 3.01(b).

SECTION 3.02. Exchange of Company Capital Stock.

(a) Exchange Agent. On the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company that shall be designated by Parent and is reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Company Capital Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, the number of shares of New Parent Common Stock sufficient to deliver the Aggregate Consideration payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.01 (such shares of New Parent Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto (pursuant to Section 3.02(c), being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”)). Upon the completion of such deposit, Parent shall have no liability with respect to its obligation to deliver the Aggregate Consideration payable or deliverable by Parent pursuant to this Agreement. Parent shall direct the Exchange Agent pursuant to irrevocable instructions, to pay the Per Share Common Stock Consideration and the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. Except as contemplated by Section 3.02(c), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. All shares deposited hereunder shall not be certificated.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of shares of Company Capital Stock which were converted pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(i) into the right to receive the Per Share Common Stock Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as applicable, instructions for use in effecting the surrender of shares of Company Capital Stock (all of which shares are uncertificated and evidenced only by book entry in the Company’s stock ledger (“Book-Entry Shares”)) in exchange for the Per Share Common Stock Consideration and the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as applicable, in book-entry form. Upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), the holder of a share of Company Capital Stock which was converted pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(i) into the right to receive the Per Share Common Stock Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, subject to any required withholding Taxes, the Per Share Common Stock Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as applicable, in book-entry form, without interest, for each share of Company Capital Stock surrendered. The shares of New Parent Common Stock to be delivered as Per Share Common Stock Consideration and Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration shall be settled through The Depository Trust Company, a central securities clearing depository existing under the Laws of the State of New York, United States of America, having its address at 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx xx Xxxxxxx (“DTC”) and issued in uncertificated book-entry form through the procedures of DTC, other than any New Parent Common Stock subject to lock-up pursuant to a Lock-Up Agreement, which shares of New Parent Common Stock shall be delivered in direct registration book-entry form in accordance with the procedures of the Parent’s transfer agent. If payment of the Per Share Common Stock Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as applicable, is

to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered Book-Entry Share in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (i) the person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (ii) the person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer and similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Common Stock Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as applicable, to a person other than the registered holder of the Book-Entry Share surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such transfer or similar Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of New Parent Common Stock. All shares of New Parent Common Stock to be issued as the Per Share Common Stock Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as applicable, shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time; provided, that no dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to shares of New Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Book-Entry Shares with respect to the shares of New Parent Common Stock to be issued in exchange therefor until the holder of such Book-Entry Shares surrenders such Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 3.04(b). Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, following the surrender of any such Book-Entry Shares, the holder of the Book-Entry Shares representing whole shares of New Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor will be paid, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding Tax, (i) promptly, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of New Parent Common Stock and (ii) at the applicable payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such share of New Parent Common Stock.

(d) No Further Rights in Company Capital Stock. The Per Share Common Stock Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as applicable, payable upon conversion of the Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Capital Stock.

(e) Adjustments to Per Share Merger Consideration. The Per Share Common Stock Consideration and the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as applicable, shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time (but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be adjusted to reflect any change in the capitalization of the Company) to provide to the holders of Company Capital Stock and the holders of New Parent Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 3.02(e) shall not be construed to permit Parent, the Company or Merger Sub to take any action with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, further, that the conversion of Parent Class A Common Stock and Parent Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication shall not be deemed a stock split, share subdivision, reverse stock split, share consolidation, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or like change for purposes of this Section 3.02(e).

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Capital Stock for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of Company Capital Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Section 3.02 shall thereafter look only to Parent for the Common Stock Consideration and the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as applicable. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Capital Stock as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(g) No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Capital Stock for any such Company Capital Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law in accordance with this Section 3.02.

(h) Consideration Schedule. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a consideration schedule (the “Consideration Schedule”) setting forth in accordance with Section 3.01 and the Company Certificate of Incorporation: (a) (i) the name of each Company Stockholder as of such time, (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held thereby, (iii) the number of shares of each series of Company Preferred Stock held thereby, (iv) the Per Share Common Stock Consideration and the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration and (v) the number of shares of New Parent Common Stock to be delivered to each Company Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.01 based on the foregoing subclauses (i) through (iv); (b) (i) the name of each Company Optionholder, (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each Company Option held thereby, and (iii) the exercise price of each such Company Option; and (c) (i) the number of Holdco Options and (ii) the exercise price of each such Holdco Option, and (d) a certification, duly executed by an authorized officer of the Company, that the information delivered pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) is, and will be as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, true and correct in all respects. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) the sum obtained by adding the aggregate New Parent Common Stock issuable (x) as Per Share Common Stock Consideration and the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration and (y) upon exercise of Holdco Options shall not exceed twenty million shares of New Parent Common Stock. The Company will review any comments to the Consideration Schedule provided by Parent or any of its Representatives and consider in good faith all reasonable comments on the final Consideration Schedule. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and for avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the Consideration Schedule, (A) the calculation of Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration referenced in Section 3.01(a)(i)(A) shall be completed prior to the calculation of Per Share Common Stock Consideration referenced in Section 3.01(a)(i)(B); (B) calculations of the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration in accordance with the Deemed Liquidation Provisions shall be made on the basis that the aggregate value of the consideration payable to holders of Company Capital Stock and Company Optionholders under this Agreement

is equal to the Consideration Cap; (C) to the extent the Deemed Liquidation Provisions require a calculation of the number of fully diluted shares of Company Common Stock, the Company shall calculate such number of fully diluted shares to reflect, as of an applicable date, a number equal to the sum of (x) the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as of such applicable date, (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that the outstanding shares of Company Preferred Stock as of such applicable date would convert into (on an as-converted basis) in accordance with Section 4 of the Company Certificate of Incorporation, and (z) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of all then-outstanding Company Options (other than Out-of-the-Money Options), assuming such exercise was effected on a cashless net basis pursuant to which the Company withholds (and does not issue) shares of Company Common Stock with a value equal to the aggregate amount of the exercise price and all applicable withholding taxes.

(i) Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation, the Company, Parent, their respective affiliates and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or to cause to be deducted and withheld) from the consideration or other amount payable (whether payable in Parent Common Stock, cash or otherwise) pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as such person is 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. Any such amounts so deducted and withheld shall be properly remitted to, and in the form required by, the appropriate Taxing Authority, and such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to, or on behalf of, the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Without limiting the foregoing, other than (x) with respect to compensatory payments and (y) in connection with the failure of the Company to provide the certification described in Section 8.02(e), Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide recipients of consideration or other payments under this Agreement a reasonable opportunity to provide documentation establishing exemptions from or reductions of such withholding.

SECTION 3.03. Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Book-Entry Shares that evidenced ownership of shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Capital Stock other than the right to receive (a) the Per Share Common Stock Consideration and the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as applicable, and (b) any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.02(c), in each case, without interest (subject to any applicable withholding Tax), except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law.

SECTION 3.04. Payment of Expenses.

(a) No sooner than five (5) or later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Parent a written report setting forth a list of all fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by or on behalf of the Company for outside counsel, agents, advisors, consultants, experts, financial advisors and other service providers engaged by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions (together with written invoices and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof), solely to the extent such fees and expenses are incurred and expected to remain unpaid as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date and are being paid at Closing as part of the Closing funds flow in connection with the Transactions (collectively, the “Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses”). On the Closing Date, following the Closing, Parent shall pay or procure that the Surviving Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all such Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses shall not include any fees and expenses of the Company Stockholders.

(b) No sooner than five (5) or later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall provide to the Company a written report setting forth a list of all fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub, for outside counsel, agents, advisors, consultants, experts, financial advisors and other service providers engaged by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise in connection with Xxxxxx’s operations (together with written invoices and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof) (collectively, the “Outstanding Parent Transaction Expenses”). On the Closing Date, as part of the Closing funds flow in connection with the Transactions, Parent shall pay or shall procure that the Surviving Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all such Outstanding Parent Transaction Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Parent Transaction Expenses shall not include any Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses.

(c) Except as expressly set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid any Outstanding Parent Transaction Expenses or Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses other than in accordance with this Section 3.04.

SECTION 3.05. Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, shares of Company Capital Stock (“Dissenting Shares”) that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by Company Stockholders or beneficially owned by other Persons who, in either case, shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Company Capital 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 under Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into, and such stockholders and beneficial owners shall have no right to receive, the applicable Per Share Common Stock Consideration or Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as applicable, unless and until such stockholder or beneficial owner fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, and shall instead represent the right to receive only such rights as are granted to such holder or beneficial owner by Section 262

of the DGCL. Any shares of Company Capital Stock as to which the stockholder or beneficial owner thereof fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital 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 Common Stock Consideration or Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as applicable, without any interest thereon, in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 3.02(b).

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) of any demands for appraisal received by the Company and any withdrawals of such demands, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle 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.

The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is or will at the Closing be a party, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions (other than, with respect to the Merger, the Requisite Approval, which the Written Consent shall satisfy, and the filing and recordation of appropriate merger documents as required by the DGCL).

(j) Each Plan that constitutes a nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A of the Code has, in all material respects, been administered and operated, in compliance with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and no additional Tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code has been or could be expected to be incurred by a participant in any such Plan.

(k) The Company has no obligation to gross up, indemnify or otherwise reimburse any current or former employee, officer, independent contractor, or director of the Company for any Taxes, interest or penalties incurred in connection with any Plan (including any Taxes, interest or penalties incurred pursuant to Section 409A or 4999 of the Code).

(l) Each Plan that is subject to the applicable Law of a jurisdiction other than the United States (whether or not United States Law applies) or that is maintained primarily for the benefit of any Company service provider whose primary work location or residence is based outside of the United States (the “International Employee Plans”), has been established, maintained, funded, operated, and administered in compliance with its terms and conditions and with the requirements prescribed by any applicable Laws. No International Employee Plan has material unfunded or underfunded liabilities that as of the Effective Time will not be fully accrued for in its financial statements or fully offset by insurance with respect to any “defined benefit plan” (as defined in ERISA, whether or not subject to ERISA), seniority premium, termination indemnity, provident fund, gratuity or similar plan or arrangement.

None of the Company-Owned IP is subject to any joint ownership, and the Company is not a party to or bound by any contract that limits, restricts, or impairs its ability to use, sell, transfer, assign, license, or convey any of the Company-Owned IP.

Upon the Closing, except as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, the Company will continue to have the right to use all Company-Licensed IP on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Company enjoyed immediately prior to the Closing.

SECTION 6.04. Claims Against Trust Account. Reference is made to the final prospectus of the Parent, dated as of January 12, 2022 and filed with the SEC (File No. 333-254627) (the “Prospectus”). The Company, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, hereby represents and warrants that it has read the Prospectus and understands that Parent has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the overallotment securities acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Parent’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by the Parent’s underwriters, the “Public Stockholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, Parent may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their Parent Common Stock in connection with the consummation of Parent’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”), (b) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Parent MAA to (i) modify the substance and timing of the Parent’s obligation to allow a redemption in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, (ii) to redeem 100% of the of the Parent Common Stock if Parent does not consummate a Business Combination within twenty-four (24) months after the closing of the IPO or (iii) with respect to any other provision relating to the Public Stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, (c) to the Public Stockholders if Parent fails to consummate a Business Combination

within twenty-four (24) months after the closing of the IPO, (d) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any franchise or income taxes, for working capital, or up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses, or (e) to Parent after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company agrees on behalf of itself and its affiliates that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates do now have, and shall not at any time prior to the Effective Time have, any claim to, or make any claim against, the Trust Fund or any distributions therefrom, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, the business relationship between the Company and its Representatives on the one hand, and Parent and its Representatives on the other hand, this Agreement, or any other agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to in this Section 6.04 as the “Released Claims”). Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Company on behalf of itself and its affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claim it may have, now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with Parent or its affiliates) in respect thereof. The Company agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Parent and its affiliates to induce Parent to enter in this Agreement, and the Company further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Company and each of its affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent the Company or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to the Parent or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Parent or its Representatives, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s and its affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Company or its affiliates (or any person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event that the Company or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding against or involving the Trust Fund in violation of the foregoing, Parent shall be entitled to recover from the Company the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event Parent or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 6.04 shall survive indefinitely with respect to the obligations set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.04, any action by any non-controlled affiliate of the Company that, if taken by the Company or one of its controlled affiliates, would be a breach of this Section 6.04 shall constitute a breach of this Section 6.04 by the Company and for which the Company shall be liable.

(b) Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall approve and adopt this Agreement and approve the Transactions, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub.

SECTION 7.03. Company Stockholders’ Written Consent. Unless this Agreement has been validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, upon the terms set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall solicit the Requisite Approval by irrevocable written consent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, of the Requisite Majority of its stockholders (including the Key Company Stockholders) in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Written Consent”) via the dissemination of the Consent Solicitation Statement to the Company Stockholders as soon as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective, and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after the Registration Statement becomes effective. In connection therewith, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable, (i) establish the record date (which record date shall be mutually agreed with Parent) for determining the Company Stockholders entitled to provide such written consent, (ii) cause the Consent Solicitation Statement to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders in compliance with applicable Law and (iii) solicit written consents from the Company Stockholders to give the Company Requisite Approval. The Company shall, through the Company Board, recommend to the Company Stockholders that they approve and adopt this Agreement and the Transactions (the “Company Board Recommendation”) and shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Consent Solicitation Statement. The Company will provide Parent with copies of all stockholder consents it receives within one (1) Business Day of receipt. If the Company Requisite Approval is obtained, then promptly following the receipt of the required written consents, the Company will prepare and deliver to its stockholders who have not consented the notice required by Sections 228(e) and 262 of the DGCL. Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company’s obligation to solicit written consents from the Company Stockholders to give the Company Requisite Approval in accordance with this Section 7.03 shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the making, commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Company Acquisition Proposal or for any other reason.

SECTION 7.04. Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective subsidiaries (if any) to): (i) provide to the other party (and the other party’s affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, consultants, legal counsel, agents and other representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) reasonable access at reasonable times upon prior notice to the officers, employees, agents, properties, offices and other facilities of such party and its subsidiaries (if any) and to the books and records thereof; and (ii) furnish promptly to the other party such information concerning the business, properties, contracts, assets, liabilities, personnel and other

aspects of such party and its subsidiaries (if any) as the other party or its Representatives may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor Parent shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where the access or disclosure would (i) jeopardize the protection of attorney-client privilege or contravene applicable Law (including COVID-19 Measures) or (ii) require providing access that such party reasonably determines, in light of COVID-19 or COVID-19 Measures, would jeopardize the health and safety of any employee of such party (in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), it being agreed that the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy or contravention).

(b) Parent and the Company each acknowledge that all information obtained by the parties pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the confidentiality agreement, dated as of March 20, 2023 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between Parent and the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each party (and its Representatives) may consult any tax advisor regarding the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transactions and may disclose to any other person, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transactions and all materials (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such treatment or structure, in each case in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

SECTION 7.05. Company Solicitation. From and after the date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier of (a) the Effective Time and (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to (subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence), directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, facilitate, encourage or continue (including by way of furnishing non-public information), whether publicly or otherwise, any inquiries with respect to, or the making of, any Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning, or provide access to its properties, books and records or any Confidential Information or data to, any person relating to a Company Acquisition Proposal, (iii) enter into, engage in and maintain discussions or negotiations with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal (or inquiries, proposals or offers or other efforts that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Company Acquisition Proposal) or otherwise cooperate with or assist or participate in, or facilitate or encourage any such inquiries, proposals, offers, efforts, discussions or negotiations, (iv) amend or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities or the Company, (v) approve, endorse or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, endorse or recommend, any Company Acquisition Proposal, (vi) approve, endorse, recommend, execute or enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other written arrangement relating to any Company Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal, or (vii) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing or otherwise authorize or permit any of its Representatives to take any such action; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply solely with respect to any Company Stockholder who is party to a Stockholder Support Agreement solely in respect of private Secondary Sales initiated and consummated by such Company Stockholder so long as such Secondary Sale is entered into

and consummated in accordance with the terms of such Stockholder Support Agreement. The Company shall, and shall instruct and cause its Representatives, to immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any person (other than the parties hereto and their respective Representatives in connection with the Transactions) in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal, except with respect to any Post-Closing Transaction Discussions. The Company shall promptly notify Parent (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) in writing of the receipt of any Company Acquisition Proposal by the Company after the date of this Agreement, which notice shall identify the third party making any Company Acquisition Proposal and shall include a summary of the material terms and conditions of any material developments, discussions or negotiations in connection therewith, and any material modifications to the financial or other terms and conditions of any such Company Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may inform any person making an unsolicited proposal regarding a Company Acquisition Proposal of the terms of this Section 7.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.05 shall prohibit the Company or its Representatives from engaging in or continuing any inquiries or discussions with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal solely to the extent that (i) Parent would be a party the definitive documentation in respect of such Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) such Company Acquisition Proposal (and any agreement or documentation related thereto, whether or not binding) would not be entered into, announced, disclosed or consummated prior to the Closing and (iii) the entry into such Company Acquisition Proposal (and the definitive documentation related thereto) would require the prior approval of the Parent Board after the Closing (any such solicitation, facilitation, encouragement, or continuation of inquires or discussions on the terms set forth in this sentence, the “Post-Closing Transaction Discussions”). The parties agree that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.05 by any of the Company’s Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.05 by the Company. The Company agrees that the rights and remedies for non-compliance with this Section 7.05 shall include having such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to Parent and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Parent.

SECTION 7.06. Parent Exclusivity. From and after the date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier of (a) the Closing and (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01, but only to the extent not inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board (as determined by the Parent Board in good faith), Parent shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) enter into, knowingly solicit, initiate or continue any discussions or negotiations with, third parties (other than the Company and its Representatives) with respect to any Business Combination other than the Transactions (an “Alternative Business Combination”), or knowingly encourage or respond to any inquiries or proposals by, or participate in any negotiations with, or provide any information to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, any person or other entity or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to an Alternative Business Combination, (ii) enter into any agreement regarding, continue or otherwise knowingly participate in any discussions regarding, or furnish to any person any information with respect to, or cooperate in any way that would otherwise reasonably be expected to lead to, any Alternative Business Combination or (iii) commence, continue or renew any due diligence investigation regarding any Alternative Business Combination; provided, however, that the execution, delivery and performance of this

Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Transactions shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 7.06. Parent shall, and shall cause its affiliates and Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any person (other than the Company and its Representatives) conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Business Combination. Parent also agrees that it will promptly request each person (other than the Company and its Representatives) that has prior to the date of this Agreement executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of an Alternative Business Combination to return or destroy all Confidential Information furnished to such person by or on behalf of it prior to the date of this Agreement (to the extent so permitted under, and in accordance with the terms of, such confidentiality agreement). If Parent receives any inquiry or proposal with respect to an Alternative Business Combination at any time prior to the Closing, then Parent shall promptly (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day after Parent becomes aware of such inquiry or proposal) notify such person in writing that Parent is subject to an exclusivity agreement with respect to the Transaction that prohibits Parent from considering such inquiry or proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may inform any person making an unsolicited proposal regarding an Alternative Business Combination of the terms of this Section 7.06. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.06 by Parent’s Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.06 by Parent.

SECTION 7.07. Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Parent Board shall approve an equity incentive award plan for the Surviving Corporation, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit F and with any changes or modifications thereto as the Company and Parent may mutually agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either the Company or Parent, as applicable) (the “Equity Plan”), which will permit the issuance of shares of New Parent Common Stock. At the Parent Shareholders’ Meeting, Parent shall solicit approval from Parent Shareholders of the Equity Plans Proposal. The number of shares of New Parent Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Equity Plan shall equal (i) 12% of the shares of New Parent Common Stock outstanding as of immediately after the Effective Time (rounded up to the nearest whole share), plus (ii) a number of shares added each January 1, commencing on January 1, 2024, pursuant to an automatic annual increase, equal to the lesser of 5% of the number of shares of New Parent Common Stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares as approved by the Equity Plan’s administrator.

(b) Prior to the Closing and subject to the receipt of the approval by the Parent Shareholders of the Equity Plans Proposal at the Parent Shareholders’ Meeting, the Parent Board shall approve employee stock purchase plan for the Surviving Corporation, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit G and with any changes or modifications thereto as the Company and Parent may mutually agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either the Company or Parent, as applicable) (the “ESPP”), which will permit the issuance of New Parent Common Stock. At the Parent Shareholders’ Meeting, Parent shall solicit approval from Parent Shareholders of the Equity Plans Proposal. The number of shares of New Parent Common Stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP shall equal (i) 2% of the shares of New Parent Common Stock outstanding as of immediately after the Effective Time (rounded up to the nearest whole share), plus (ii) a number of shares added each January 1, commencing on January 1, 2024, pursuant to an automatic annual increase, equal to the lesser of 1% of the number of shares of New Parent Common Stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, and such number of shares as approved by the ESPP’s administrator.

SECTION 7.08. Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a) The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, exculpation, advancement or expense reimbursement than are set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company or Parent, as applicable, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company or Parent, as applicable, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law.

(b) On the Closing Date, each of the Company and Parent shall obtain (at each such party’s sole cost and expense) a non-cancelable run-off directors and officers “tail” insurance policy (providing coverage that, taken as a whole, is no less favorable than under such person’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect on the date of this Agreement (the Company has made true, correct and complete copies of the Company’s applicable policies to Parent or its representatives)), for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date to provide insurance coverage for events, acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date for all persons who were directors or officers of the Company or Parent, as applicable, on or prior to the Closing Date.

(c) On the Closing Date, Parent shall enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to each of the Company and Parent with the post-Closing directors and officers of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, which indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective following the Closing.

SECTION 7.09. Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of any event which a party becomes aware of between the date of this Agreement and the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX), the occurrence, or non-occurrence of which causes or would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII to fail to be satisfied at the Closing. It is understood and agreed that no such notification (or failure to provide such notification) will affect or be deemed to modify the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Merger or the remedies available to the parties under this Agreement. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement apply to any information provided under this Section 7.09.

SECTION 7.10. Further Action; Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and without limiting any other covenant contained in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall each cause their respective subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, such things as are necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws or otherwise to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including, (i) using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of Governmental Authorities, (ii) using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all material consents and approvals of third parties to contracts with Parent, the Company or their respective affiliates (including those consents and approvals set forth in Section 4.05) that are necessary for the consummation of the Transactions and (iii) taking such other action as may reasonably be necessary to satisfy the conditions of Article VIII or otherwise comply with Agreement and to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable. In case, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of each party shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take all such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or its subsidiaries be obligated to bear any expense or pay any fee or grant any concession in connection with obtaining any consents, authorizations or approvals described in this Section 7.10, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) Each of the parties shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the Transactions, including promptly notifying the other parties of any communication it or any of its affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permitting the other parties to review in advance, and to the extent practicable consult about, any proposed communication by such party to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. No party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. Subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties will provide each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications, including any documents, information and data contained therewith, between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions. No party shall take or cause to be taken any action before any Governmental Authority that is inconsistent with or intended to delay its action on requests for a consent or the consummation of the Transactions.

(c) Excluding Section 7.14, notwithstanding other provisions in this Agreement, in the event that, in connection with the involvement of the Company or Parent, or their respective affiliates, in the set of transactions contemplated under this Agreement, the Company and Parent mutually agree (after consultation with counsel) that submission of any additional regulatory filing with a Governmental Authority (under a Foreign Investment Law or otherwise) would be either required or advisable, each of the Company and Parent, and their respective affiliates, shall use their reasonable best efforts to promptly submit a filing with the appropriate Governmental Authority (the “Regulatory Filing”). In the event of a Regulatory Filing, each of the Company, Parent, and their respective affiliates shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate and coordinate with the other party in preparing and submitting the

Regulatory Filing and in obtaining regulatory approval from the appropriate Governmental Authority, including, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and subject to customary confidentiality restrictions and all applicable privileges (including the attorney-client privilege) and consistent with any instruction or direction from the respective Governmental Authority, consultation on information to be presented to the Governmental Authority and sharing of draft documents prior to submission, prompt notification of any communication from the Governmental Authority or any of its member agencies, and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of the Governmental Authority or any of its member agencies. The Company, Parent, or their respective affiliates shall take or accept any actions, conditions, or restrictions proposed by the appropriate Governmental Authority as a condition of obtaining regulatory approval with respect to a Regulatory Filing; provided, however, that the Company and Parent shall not be required to accept any actions, conditions, or restrictions that would have a material adverse impact on their respective business. The Company shall bear all costs for preparing any Regulatory Filing and seeking regulatory approval.

SECTION 7.11. Public Announcements. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release the text of which has been agreed to by each of Parent and the Company. Thereafter, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX) unless otherwise prohibited by applicable Law or NYSE requirements (including pursuant to Securities Laws), in which case, Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall use reasonable best efforts to coordinate such announcement or communication with the other party, prior to announcement or issuance and allow the other party a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon (which shall be considered by Parent or the Company, as applicable, in good faith), each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior written consent of the other party. Furthermore, nothing contained in this Section 7.11 shall prevent Parent or the Company and/or its respective affiliates from furnishing customary or other reasonable information concerning the Transactions to their investors and prospective investors, in each case, who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions.

SECTION 7.12. Tax Matters.

For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.12(a) shall be interpreted to override, or require any party to modify, the economic or commercial terms contemplated by this Agreement or to take other similar actions.

(b) This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

(c) Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Corporation and their respective affiliates shall cause all Tax Returns to be filed consistent with (including by attaching the statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(a) on or with its Tax Return for the taxable year of the Domestication and of the Merger, as applicable), and take no other position inconsistent with (whether in Tax Proceedings or otherwise), the Intended Tax Treatment unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or a change in applicable Law after the date hereof.

(g) In the event that, in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, the SEC requires a tax opinion regarding: (i) the Domestication, Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to cause Xxxx, Xxxxx, Rifkind, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP (or such other counsel as may be reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent) to deliver such tax opinion to Parent, or (ii) the Merger, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Xxxxx Xxxx (or such other counsel as may be reasonable acceptable to the Company and Parent) to deliver such tax opinion to the Company, in each case, subject to customary representations, assumptions and limitations. Each party shall use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver customary factual representation letters as the applicable tax advisor may reasonably request in form and substance satisfactory to such advisor.

SECTION 10.03. Severability.

SECTION 10.06. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction. All legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court; provided, however, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal Action may be brought in any

federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court. The parties hereto hereby (a) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b) agree not to commence any Action relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than Actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.07.

SECTION 10.08. Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Each of the parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

SECTION 10.11. Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party.

ARTICLE V

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 5.1 Board Powers. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon the Board by statute, this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation (“Bylaws”), the Board is hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, this Certificate of Incorporation, and any Bylaws adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.

Section 5.2 Number, Election and Term.

(a) The number of directors of the Corporation, other than those who may be elected by the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock voting separately by class or series, shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board.

(b) Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, the Board shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible and designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The term of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation; the term of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation; and the term of the initial Class III Directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation. At each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, beginning with the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation, each of the successors elected to replace the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation thereafter and until the election and qualification of such director’s successor in office, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, if the number of directors that constitutes the Board is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors constituting the Board in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. The Board is hereby expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions thereof, to assign members of the Board already in office to the aforesaid classes at the time this Certificate of Incorporation (and therefore such classification) becomes effective in accordance with the DGCL.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the affirmative vote of holders of not less than two thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, and the affirmative vote of holders of not less than two thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, shall be required to amend or repeal any provision of this Section 5.2.

(d) Unless and except to the extent that the Bylaws shall so require, the election of directors need not be by written ballot. The holders of shares of Common Stock shall not have cumulative voting rights.

Section 5.3 Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and not by stockholders. Any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, when the number of directors is increased or decreased, the Board shall, subject to Section 5.2 hereof, determine the class or classes to which the increased or decreased number of directors shall be apportioned; provided, however, that no decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 5.4 Removal. From and after the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation, only for so long as the Board is classified and subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, any director or the entire Board may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors.

Section 5.5 Preferred Stock Directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately by class or one or more series thereof, to elect one or more directors, the term of office, the filling of vacancies, the removal from office (other than for cause) and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such series of the Preferred Stock as set forth in this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) and such directors shall not be included in any of the classes created pursuant to this Article V unless expressly provided by such terms.

Section 5.6 Quorum. A quorum for the transaction of business by the directors shall be set forth in the Bylaws.

ARTICLE VI

BYLAWS

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by law, the Board shall have the power and is expressly authorized to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The Bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders of the Corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders of the Corporation to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws; provided further, however, that if the Board recommends that stockholders approve such adoption, amendment, alteration or repeal at such meeting of stockholders, such adoption, amendment, alteration or repeal shall only require approval under the default voting standard as is set forth in the Bylaws, as may be amended from time to time; and provided further, however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders of the Corporation shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.

ARTICLE II

STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS

Section 2.1 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (each an “Annual Meeting”) shall be held at such place, either within or outside of the State of Delaware, and time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5(a). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office. The Board may, in its sole discretion, postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled Annual Meeting. At each Annual Meeting, the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters shall elect those directors of the Corporation to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of such Annual Meeting and may transact any other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. If no Annual Meeting has been held for a period of 13 months after the Corporation’s last Annual Meeting, a special meeting in lieu thereof may be held, and such special meeting shall have, for the purposes of these Bylaws or otherwise, all the force and effect of an Annual Meeting. Any and all references hereafter in these Bylaws to an Annual Meeting or Annual Meetings also shall be deemed to refer to any special meeting(s) in lieu thereof.

Section 2.2 Special Meetings. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of the preferred stock of the Corporation (“Preferred Stock”), and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by the Board acting pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office and may not be called by any other person. Special meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or outside of the State of Delaware, and at such time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the Corporation’s

notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5(a). The Board may, in its sole discretion, cancel, postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders. Subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, nominations of persons for election to the Board and stockholder proposals of other business shall not be brought before a special meeting of stockholders to be considered by the stockholders unless (x) such special meeting is held in lieu of an Annual Meeting in accordance with Section 2.1 of these Bylaws or, (y) in the case of nominations for election to the Board (but not other business), the purpose or purposes of such special meeting, as set forth in the Corporation’s notice of the meeting, includes the election of directors, in which case of either the foregoing clauses (x) or (y), such special meeting shall be deemed an Annual Meeting for purposes of these Bylaws, except as otherwise expressly indicated herein.

Section 2.3 Notices. Written notice of each stockholders’ meeting stating the place, if any, date, and time of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, shall be given in the manner permitted by Section 9.3 to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, by the Corporation not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting unless otherwise required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). If said notice is for a stockholders’ meeting other than an Annual Meeting (without giving effect to the last sentence of Section 2.2), it shall, in addition, state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and the business transacted at such meeting shall be limited to the matters so stated in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). Any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be postponed or cancelled by the Board upon public announcement (as defined in Section 2.7(b)) given before the date previously scheduled for such meeting.

Section 2.4 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time (including by any certificate of designation in respect of any series of Preferred Stock) (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy, at a stockholders’ meeting of the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, except that when specified business is to be voted on by any one or more classes or series of stock voting separately as a class, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such classes or series shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such business. If a quorum shall not be present, in person or by proxy, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, either (i) the chair of the meeting or, (ii) in the absence of any such chair, the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, may adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner

-2-

provided in Section 2.6 until a quorum shall attend. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation or other entity, if a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation or of the voting power of such other entity, as applicable, is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any such other corporation to vote shares held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 2.5 Voting of Shares.

(a) Voting Lists. The Secretary of the Corporation (the “Secretary”) shall prepare, or shall cause the officer or agent who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation to prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address and the number and class of shares registered in the name of each stockholder; provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(a) shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence establishing which stockholders are entitled to examine the list required by this Section 2.5(a) or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

(b) Manner of Voting. At any stockholders’ meeting, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy. If authorized by the Board, the voting by stockholders or proxy holders at any meeting conducted by remote communication may be effected by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission (as defined in Section 9.3), provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which the Corporation can determine that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxy holder. The Board, in its discretion, or the chair of the meeting of stockholders, in such person’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

(c) Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Proxies need not be filed with the Secretary until the meeting is called to order, but shall be filed with the

-3-

Secretary before being voted. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, either of the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority. No stockholder shall have cumulative voting rights.

(i) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

(ii) A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission authorizing another person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing with the Secretary of the Corporation either an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date. In the event the Corporation receives proxies for disqualified or withdrawn nominees for the Board of Directors, such votes for such disqualified or withdrawn nominees in the proxies will be treated as abstentions. Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board.

(d) Required Vote. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, at all meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. All other matters presented to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter.

-4-

(e) Inspectors of Election. The Board may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more persons as inspectors of election, who may be employees of the Corporation or otherwise serve the Corporation in other capacities, to act at such meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Board may appoint one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspectors of election or alternates are appointed by the Board, the chair of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging their duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of their ability. Each inspector shall ascertain and report the number of outstanding shares and the voting power of each share; determine the number of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; count all votes and ballots and report the results; determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election. Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by the inspector or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors.

Section 2.6 Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned by the chair of the meeting, from time to time, whether or not there is a quorum, to reconvene at the same or some other place. Notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the date, time, and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are provided in such manner as results in the giving of written notice of the adjourned meeting not being required under the DGCL. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation, the stockholders, or the holders of any one or more classes or series of stock entitled to vote separately as a class, as the case may be, may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 9.2, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 2.7 Advance Notice for Business.

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. No business (other than director nominations) may be transacted at an Annual Meeting other than business that is either (i) specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the Annual Meeting by or at the direction of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the Annual Meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation (A) who is a stockholder of record entitled to vote at such Annual Meeting on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.7(a) and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such Annual Meeting and (B) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(a).

Except as otherwise required by law, nothing in this Section 2.7 shall obligate the Corporation to include information with respect to such proposal in any proxy statement. No business shall be conducted at the Annual Meeting except business brought before the Annual Meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(a), provided, however, that once business has been properly brought before the Annual Meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. If the Board or the chair of the Annual Meeting determines that any stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7(a) or that the information provided in a stockholder’s notice does not satisfy the information requirements of this Section 2.7(a), such proposal shall not be presented for action at the Annual Meeting.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 8.1 Right to Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.4, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he, she or they is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) (except in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless otherwise permitted by applicable law) reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 8.3 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses (as defined below), the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 8.2 Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 8.1, an Indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, to the extent the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in their capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon the Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or otherwise.

-19-

Section 8.3 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim; provided, however, no determination as to an Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, nor any claim for indemnification hereunder (other than for advances of expenses), shall be required to be made by the Corporation prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, including any appeal therein, for which such indemnification is sought. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (a) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by an Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (b) in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including a determination by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, shall be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VIII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

Section 8.4 Limitation on Indemnification. Subject to the requirements in this Article VIII and the DGCL, the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any person in connection with any proceeding (or any part of any proceeding):

(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such person under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;

(b) for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

-20-

(c) for any reimbursement of the Corporation by such person of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by such person from the sale of securities of the Corporation, as required in each case under the Exchnage Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Corporation pursuant to Section 304 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), or the payment to the Corporation of profits arising from the purchase and sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act), if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

(d) initiated by such person, including any proceeding (or any part of any proceeding) initiated by such person against the Corporation or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the proceeding (or the relevant part of the proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Corporation provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under applicable law, (iii) such proceeding (or the relevant part thereof) is to enforce rights to indemnification governed by Section 8.3 or (iv) otherwise required by applicable law; or

(e) if prohibited by applicable law.

Section 8.5 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right, which such Indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, an agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. To the extent an Indemnitee has rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by a third party, (i) the Corporation shall be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., that its obligations to an Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of such third party to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by an Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) the Corporation shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and reasonable expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim) to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws and the agreements to which the Corporation is a party, without regard to any rights an Indemnitee may have against such third party and (iii) the Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases such third party from any and all claims against them for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. No advancement of expenses or payment by such third party on behalf of an Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which an Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Corporation shall affect the foregoing, and such third party shall have a right of contribution and be subrogated to the extent of such advancement of expenses or payment to all of the rights of recovery of an Indemnitee against the Corporation.

Section 8.6 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and/or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or nonprofit entity against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

-21-

Section 8.7 Indemnification of Other Persons. This Article VIII shall not limit the right of the Corporation to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Indemnitees. Without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation and to any other person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Indemnitees under this Article VIII.

Section 8.8 Amendments. Any repeal or amendment of this Article VIII by the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in applicable law, or the adoption of any other provision of these Bylaws inconsistent with this Article VIII, will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in applicable law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights to Indemnitees on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and will not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision; provided, however, that amendments or repeals of this Article VIII shall require the affirmative vote of the stockholders holding at least two thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

Section 8.9 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VIII, (a) references to “other enterprise” shall include any employee benefit plan; (b) references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; (c) references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service that imposes duties on, or involves services by, a person with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and (d) a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation” for purposes of Section 145 of the DGCL.

Section 8.10 Contract Rights. The rights provided to Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VIII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, agent or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

Section 8.11 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each such portion of this Article VIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Place of Meetings. If the place of any meeting of stockholders, the Board or committee of the Board for which notice is required under these Bylaws is not designated in the notice of such meeting, such meeting shall be held at the principal business office of the Corporation; provided, however, if the Board has, in its sole discretion, determined that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but instead shall be held by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5 hereof, then such meeting shall not be held at any place.

Section 9.2 Fixing Record Dates.

(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2(a) at the adjourned meeting.

(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 9.3 Means of Giving Notice.

(a) Notice to Directors. Whenever notice is required to be given to any director under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, such notice shall be given either (i) in writing and sent either by hand delivery or through the United States mail, or by a nationally recognized delivery service for next day delivery, (ii) by means of facsimile telecommunication or other form of electronic transmission, or (iii) by oral notice given personally or by telephone. A notice to a director will be deemed given as follows: (i) if given by

-23-

hand delivery, orally, or by telephone, when actually received by the director, (ii) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (iii) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (iv) if sent by facsimile telecommunication, when sent to the facsimile transmission number for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation, (v) if sent by electronic mail, when sent to the electronic mail address for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation, or (vi) if sent by any other form of electronic transmission, when sent to the address, location or number (as applicable) for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation.

(b) Notice to Stockholders. Whenever, by applicable law, the Certificate or these bylaws, notice is required to be given to any stockholder, such notice may be given in writing directed to such stockholder’s mailing address or by electronic transmission directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address, as applicable, as it appears on the records of the corporation, or by such other form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder. Notice to a stockholder shall be deemed given: (i) if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid; (ii) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address; (iii) if given by electronic mail, when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail or such notice is prohibited by Section 232(e) of the DGCL; and (iv) if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above, (A) if by facsimile transmission, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (B) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specified posting, upon the later of (1) such posting and (2) the giving of such separate notice, and (C) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent to receiving notice by means of electronic communication by giving written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (1) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (2) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or to the Corporation’s transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

(c) Electronic Transmission. “Electronic transmission” means any paperless form of communication, including the use of electronic networks or databases (distributed or not), that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, reviewed, and automatically reproduced on paper by a recipient.

-24-

(d) Notice to Stockholders Sharing Same Address. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively by the Corporation to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Corporation within 60 days of having been given written notice by the Corporation of its intention to send such a single written notice shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.

(e) Exceptions to Notice Requirements. Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

Whenever notice is required to be given by the Corporation, under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to any stockholder to whom (i) notice of two consecutive Annual Meetings of stockholders and all notices of stockholder meetings or of the taking of action by written consent of stockholders without a meeting to such stockholder during the period between such two consecutive Annual Meetings, or (ii) all, and at least two payments (if sent by first-class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a 12-month period, have been mailed addressed to such stockholder at such stockholder’s address as shown on the records of the Corporation and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such stockholder shall not be required. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to such stockholder shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. If any such stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation a written notice setting forth such stockholder’s then current address, the requirement that notice be given to such stockholder shall be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to Section 230(b) of the DGCL. The exception in subsection (i) of the first sentence of this paragraph to the requirement that notice be given shall not be applicable to any notice returned as undeliverable if the notice was given by electronic transmission.

Section 9.4 Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, a written waiver of such notice, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to such required notice. All such waivers shall be kept with the books of the Corporation. Attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a person attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

-25-

Section 9.5 Meeting Attendance via Remote Communication Equipment.

(a) Stockholder Meetings. If authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication:

(i) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and

(ii) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (A) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxy holder, (B) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and, if entitled to vote, to vote on matters submitted to the applicable stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (C) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such votes or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.

(b) Board Meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

Section 9.6 Dividends. The Board may from time to time declare, and the Corporation may pay, dividends (payable in cash, property or shares of the Corporation’s capital stock) on the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock, subject to applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 9.12 Resignation. Any director, committee member or officer may resign by giving notice thereof in writing or by electronic transmission to the Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary. The resignation shall take effect at the time it is delivered unless the resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. Unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

Section 9.13 Surety Bonds. Such officers, employees and agents of the Corporation (if any) as the Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Board may direct, from time to time, shall be bonded for the faithful performance of their duties and for the restoration to the Corporation, in case of their death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office, of all books, papers, vouchers, money and other property of whatever kind in their possession or under their control belonging to the Corporation, in such amounts and by such surety companies as the Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Board may determine. The premiums on such bonds shall be paid by the Corporation and the bonds so furnished shall be in the custody of the Secretary.

18. Claims Against Trust Account. Reference is made to the final prospectus of Acquiror, dated as of January 12, 2022 and filed with the SEC (File No. 333-254627) (the “Prospectus”). The Stockholder, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, hereby represents and warrants that it has read the Prospectus and understands that Acquiror has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the overallotment securities acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Acquiror’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by Acquiror’s underwriters, the “Public Stockholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, Acquiror may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their Parent Common Stock in connection with the consummation of Acquiror’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”), (b) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Parent MAA to (i) modify the substance and timing of Acquiror’s obligation to allow a redemption in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, (ii) to redeem 100% of the of the Parent Common Stock if Stockholder does not consummate a Business Combination within twenty-four (24) months after the closing of the IPO or (iii) with respect to any other provision relating to the Public Stockholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, (c) to the Public Stockholders if Acquiror fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty-four (24) months after the closing of the IPO, (d) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any franchise or income taxes, for working capital, or up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses, or (e) to Acquiror after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of Acquiror entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Stockholder agrees on behalf of itself and its affiliates that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, neither the Stockholder nor any of its affiliates do now have, and shall not at any time prior to the Effective Time have, any claim to, or make any claim against, the Trust Fund or any distributions therefrom, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, the business relationship between the Stockholder and its Representatives on the one hand, and Acquiror and its Representatives on the other hand, this Agreement, or any other agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to in this Section 18 as the “Released Claims”). Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Stockholder on behalf of itself and its affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claim it may have, now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with Acquiror or its affiliates) in respect thereof. The Stockholder agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Acquiror and its affiliates to induce Acquiror to enter in this Agreement, and the Stockholder further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Stockholder and each of its affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent the

C-1-11

Stockholder or any of its affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Acquiror or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Acquiror or its Representatives, the Stockholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Stockholder’s and its affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Stockholder or its affiliates (or any person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein.

19. Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent the following is a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or affiliate of any named party to this Agreement and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any of the parties to this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

20. Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware, without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

21. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

C-1-12

22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by electronic signature (including DocuSign eSignature) or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party. Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number shall refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified. If any action is to be taken or given on or by a particular calendar day, and such calendar day is not a Business Day, then such action may be deferred until the next Business Day. All accounting terms used herein and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings given to them under GAAP. All references herein to “$” or “dollars” shall be to U.S. dollars. With regard to each and every term and condition of this Agreement and any and all agreements and instruments subject to the terms hereof, the parties hereto understand and agree that the same have or has been mutually negotiated, prepared and drafted, and if at any time the parties hereto desire or are required to interpret or construe any such term or condition or any agreement or instrument subject hereto, no consideration will be given to the issue of which party hereto actually prepared, drafted or requested any term or condition of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument subject hereto.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and not in any other capacity and this Agreement shall not limit or otherwise affect the actions of any affiliate, employee or designee of the Stockholder or any of its affiliates in his or her capacity, if applicable, as an officer, director, employee or fiduciary of the Company or any other person.

C-1-13

25. Prohibited Matters.

26. Other Support Agreements.

The Company and the Acquiror acknowledge that the Stockholder, in entering into this Agreement, is relying upon the accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties, and the effectiveness of this Agreement is expressly conditioned thereupon. Furthermore, the Company and Acquiror hereby agree that, in the event that any Other Support Agreement is amended to include any terms or conditions that are more favorable to the applicable Key Company Stockholder under such Other Support Agreement than those contained in this Agreement, or any obligation of any other Key Company Stockholder under any Other Support Agreement is waived, amended or modified in a manner more favorable to the applicable Key Company Stockholder under such Other Support Agreement than those contained in this Agreement, the Company or Acquiror shall, promptly following the amendment, waiver or modification of such Other Support Agreement, offer to each other Key Company Stockholder (including the Stockholder) the opportunity to amend, modify or waive the provisions of this Agreement to reflect such more favorable terms.

REGISTRATIONS AND OFFERINGS

2.1 Shelf Registration.

2.1.1 Filing. The Company shall file within 45 days of the Closing Date, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”) or, if the Company is eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form S-3, a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”), in each case, covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two business days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendment, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Form S-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3. The Company’s obligations under this Section 2.1.1 shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.

D-5

2.1.2 Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two business days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form.

2.1.3 Additional Registerable Securities. In the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon request of a Xxxxxx Equityholder or a Sponsor Equityholder that holds at least five (5.0%) percent of the Registrable Securities, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, the Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration.

2.1.4 Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, any Xxxxxx Equityholder or Sponsor Equityholder (any of the Xxxxxx Equityholders or the Sponsor Equityholders being, in such case, a “Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $50 million (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Subject to Section 2.4.4, the Company shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial Demanding Holder’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Xxxxxx Equityholders, on the one hand, and the Sponsor Equityholders, on the other hand, may each demand not more than two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any 12-month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.

D-6

2.1.5 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Holders requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Requesting Holders”) (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering, before including any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities proposed to be sold by Company or by other holders of Common Stock or other equity securities, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder and Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities. To facilitate the allocation of Registrable Securities in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the Underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares. The Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its Underwriters.

2.1.6 Withdrawal. Prior to the filing of the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx; provided that any Xxxxxx Equityholder or Sponsor Equityholder may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the Xxxxxx Equityholders or the Sponsor Equityholders, as applicable. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown for purposes of Section 2.1.4, unless either (i) the Demanding Holder has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Shelf Takedown or (ii) the Holder reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown; provided that, if a Xxxxxx Equityholder or a Sponsor Equityholder elects to continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall instead count as an Underwritten Shelf Takedown demanded by the Xxxxxx Equityholders or the Sponsor Equityholders, as applicable, for purposes of Section 2.1.4. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Shelf Takedown prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.6, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this Section 2.1.6.

D-7

2.2 Piggyback Registration.

2.2.1 Piggyback Rights. Subject to Section 2.4.3, if the Company or any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Registration of, equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation, an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan (v) for a rights offering (vi) for a Block Trade or (vii) an “at the market”, equity line of credit or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent, or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 2.2.2, the Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder’s agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering.

2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a) If the Registration or registered offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1, pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such

D-8

Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company who may hold such rights, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(b) If the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a demand by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1, pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the shares of Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

(c) If the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a request by Holder(s) of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering securities pursuant to Section 2.1.5.

2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdrawal from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by Section 2.1.6) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the filing of the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include the Shelf) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than Section 2.1.6), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.3.

2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, subject to Section 2.1.6, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under Section 2.1.4 hereof.

D-9

2.3 Market Stand-off. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company (other than a Block Trade), each Holder given an opportunity to participate in the Underwritten Offering pursuant to the terms of this Agreement agrees that it shall not Transfer any shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the 90-day period beginning on the date of pricing of such offering or such shorter period during which the Company agrees not to conduct an underwritten primary offering of Common Stock, except in the event the Underwriters managing the offering otherwise agree by written consent. Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders).

2.4 Block Trades.

2.4.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission and effective, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in an underwritten or other coordinated registered offering not involving a “roadshow,” an offer commonly known as a “block trade” (a “Block Trade”), with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, either (x) $100 million or (y) all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder, then notwithstanding the time periods provided for in Section 2.1.4, such Demanding Holder need only to notify the Company of the Block Trade at least five (5) business days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Company shall as expeditiously as possible use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade; provided that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade.

2.4.2 Prior to the filing of the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade shall have the right to submit a Withdrawal Notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a block trade prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.4.2.

2.4.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 2.2 hereof shall not apply to a Block Trade initiated by a Demanding Holder pursuant to this Agreement.

2.4.4 The Demanding Holder in a Block Trade shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such Block Trade (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).

2.4.5 A Demanding Holder in the aggregate may demand no more than two (2) Block Trades pursuant to this Section 2.4 in any twelve (12) month period.

3.1.3 prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders; provided that the Company shall have no obligation to furnish any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”);

3.1.4 prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use it commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request (or provide evidence satisfactory to such Holders that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or qualification) and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each national securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

D-11

3.1.8 at least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or such shorter period of time as may be necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable), furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities or its counsel (excluding any exhibits thereto and any filing made under the Exchange Act that is to be incorporated by reference therein);

3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;

3.1.10 in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration, in each of the following cases to the extent customary for a transaction of its type, permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters or other financial institutions facilitating such Underwritten Offering, Block Trade, or other sale pursuant to such Registration, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, financial institution, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives, Underwriters or financial institutions agree to confidentiality arrangements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

3.1.11 obtain a “comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering that is registered pursuant to a Registration Statement, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter or other similar type of sales agent or placement agent may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.12 in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent pursuant to such Registration, on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, to the extent customary for a transaction of its type, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade or other coordinated offering that is registered pursuant to a Registration Statement, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, sales agreement or placement agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter, sales agent or placement agent of such offering;

D-12

3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule then in effect);

3.1.15 if the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $50 million with respect to an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in such Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the participating Holders, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with such Registration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter or other sales agent or placement agent if such Underwriter or other sales agent or placement agent has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering that is registered pursuant to a Registration Statement.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ or agents’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Registration Statement Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such arrangements. The exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.

3.4.1 Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

D-13

3.4.2 If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board such Registration, be seriously detrimental to the Company and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.4.2, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities until such Holder receives written notice from the Company that such sales or offers of Registrable Securities may be resumed, and in each case maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents.

3.4.3 (a) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and such Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4 or 2.4.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.5. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect). Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein.

D-14

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including without limitation reasonable documented outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Xxxxxx’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

D-15

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

ARTICLE V

D-16

5.2.3 No assignment by any party hereto of such party’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate the Company unless and until the Company shall have received (i) written notice of such assignment as provided in Section 5.1 hereof and (ii) the written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement (which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement).

5.5.1 Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court declines to exercise jurisdiction, any federal or state court located in New York County, New York, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court.

3.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction. All legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court; provided, however, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal Action may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court. The parties hereto hereby (a) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b) agree not to commence any Action relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than Actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Action is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 3.8.

E-1-7

3.9 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware, without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.1, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

3.10 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

3.11 Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by electronic signature (including DocuSign eSignature) or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

3.13 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as of the date of this Agreement and may not be revoked by any party hereto; provided that the provisions herein (other than this Article III) shall not be effective until the consummation of the Merger. In the event the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.

E-1-8

3.14 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto, and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or affiliate of any named party to this Agreement and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any of the parties to this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Furthermore, the obligations of the Stockholder Parties hereunder are several and not joint with or as to any other Stockholder Party, and no Stockholder Party shall be responsible for any breach or violation of this Agreement by any other Stockholder Party.

By way of example and not of limitation, assuming a Preferred Stockholder Party’s pro rata share is 20% and 100,000 shares have traded as of 2:00 pm on a given trading day, then that Preferred Stockholder Party can transfer up to 10,000 shares of New Parent Common Stock at such time (assuming it has not exceeded the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.1(c).

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, each Stockholder Party shall be permitted to convert outstanding preferred stock, warrants to acquire preferred stock or convertible securities or options or warrants to acquire shares of New Parent Common Stock into shares of New Parent Common Stock; provided that any such shares of New Parent Common Stock or warrants received upon such conversion shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.1.

E-2-5

(e) Each Stockholder Party shall be permitted to enter into a trading plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act during the applicable Lock-Up Period so long as no transfers or other dispositions of such Stockholder Party’s covered shares in contravention of this Section 2.1(e) are effected prior to the expiration of the applicable Lock-Up Period.

(f) Each Stockholder Party also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the covered shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions and to the addition of a legend to such Stockholder Party’s covered shares describing the foregoing restrictions.

(g) If any Stockholder Party, Other Company Stockholder or Sponsor Stockholder is granted a release or waiver from or termination of this Agreement, any Other Lock-Up Agreement or the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (any such holder, a “Triggering Holder”), or this Agreement, any Other Lock-Up Agreement or the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement is amended to decrease the length of a lock-up period applicable to any Triggering Holder, then the Company (i) shall provide written notice to each Stockholder Party of the terms of such release, waiver, termination or amendment and (ii) shall be deemed to have granted a release, waiver, termination or amendment of this Agreement in respect of each Stockholder Party’s obligations hereunder on the same terms and on a pro rata basis (which release, waiver, termination or amendment shall equitably take into account any differences to the length of a lock-up period to which an Other Company Stockholder or Sponsor Stockholder may be subject relative to the length of the lock-up period to which a Stockholder Party is subject hereunder) with respect to such number of covered shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (x) the total percentage of shares of New Parent Common Stock held by the Triggering Holder immediately following the Effective Time that are being released from the applicable lock-up agreement multiplied by (y) the total number of covered shares held by such Stockholder Party immediately following the Effective Time.

2.2 Other Lock-Up Agreements. Legacy Xxxxxx and AAC hereby represent and warrant to the Stockholder Parties that, as of the date hereof, (a) each Key Company Stockholder and each officer or director of Legacy Xxxxxx that will continue as an officer or director of the Company immediately following the Effective Time (any Key Company Stockholder that is not a party to this Agreement and each such officer or director, an “Other Company Stockholder”) has entered into or will enter into this Agreement or another lock-up agreement with Legacy Xxxxxx and AAC, or is otherwise subject to the lock-up provisions of Article X of the Post-Closing Parent Bylaws (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), each having terms and conditions that are no more favorable to such Other Stockholder than the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement (each, an “Other Lock-Up Agreement”) and (b) Andretti Sponsor LLC, Sol Verano Blocker 1 LLC and those certain persons identified as “Insiders” in the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement (such persons, the “Sponsor Stockholders”) are parties to that certain Sponsor Support Agreement (which amends and restates that certain letter agreement, dated January 12, 2022), containing certain lock-up obligations set forth therein (the “Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement”). Furthermore, and in addition to and without limiting the express provisions of Section 2.1(g), Legacy Xxxxxx and AAC hereby agree that, in the event that any Other Lock-Up Agreement or paragraph 3 of the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement includes (notwithstanding the representations and warranties in the previous sentence), or is amended or modified (including by waiver of an Other Stockholder’s obligations thereunder), to include any terms or conditions that are more favorable to the applicable Other Stockholder under such Other

E-2-6

Lock-Up Agreement or the Sponsor Stockholders under the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement, as applicable, than those contained in this Agreement, Legacy Xxxxxx or AAC, as applicable, shall, promptly following the execution, amendment or modification (including by waiver) of such Other Lock-Up Agreement or the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement, offer to the Stockholder Parties the opportunity to amend or modify this Agreement to include such terms and conditions (or waive such obligations, if applicable).

(c) Delegation of Authority to Grant Awards.

Section 4. Stock Issuable Under the Plan; Changes in Stock; Substitution; Director Limits

(a) Stock Issuable. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be [•]¹ shares (the “Initial Limit”), plus on January 1, 202[•] and on January 1 of each year thereafter, the number of shares reserved and available for

¹	Note to Draft: To be 12% of outstanding shares as of the Effective Time.

F-4

issuance under the Plan shall be increased by five percent (5%) of the number of shares of Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares as approved by the Administrator (the “Annual Increase”), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b) (the “Pool”). Subject to such overall limitation, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed the Initial Limit cumulatively increased on January 1, 2024 and on January 1 of each year thereafter by the lesser of the Annual Increase for each year or [•]² shares of Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b). For purposes of this limitation, in respect of any shares of Stock under any Award under the Plan which shares are forfeited, canceled, held back upon the exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding, satisfied without the issuance of Stock, otherwise terminated, or, for shares of Stock issued pursuant to any unvested full value Award, reacquired by the Company at not more than the grantee’s purchase price (“Unissued Shares”), the number of shares of Stock that were removed from the Pool for such Unissued Shares shall be added back to the Pool and, to the extent consistent with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code such shares may be issued as Incentive Stock Options. The shares available for issuance from the Pool may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company and held in its treasury, or shares purchased on the open market. In addition, Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Stock authorized for grant under the Plan, including the shares available to be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options to the extent consistent with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code; nor shall Stock subject to a Substitute Award again be available for Awards under the Plan to the extent of any forfeiture, cancelation, reacquisitions, expiration, termination, cash settlement or non-issuance, as set forth above.

(b) Changes in Stock. Subject to Section 19 hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Administrator shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iii) the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and (iv) the price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights) as to which such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable. The adjustment by the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.

²	Note to Draft: To be equal to the Initial Limit.

F-5

The Administrator may also adjust the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration material changes in accounting practices or principles, extraordinary dividends, acquisitions or dispositions of stock or property or any other event if it is determined by the Administrator that such adjustment is appropriate to avoid diminution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, provided that no such adjustment shall be made in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, without the consent of the grantee, if it would constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the Option within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code.

(c) Substitute Awards. The Administrator may grant Awards (“Substitute Awards”) under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards held by employees, directors or other key persons of another corporation in connection with the merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or a Subsidiary or the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of property or stock of the employing corporation. The Administrator may direct that the Substitute Awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Administrator considers appropriate in the circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Substitute Awards” does not include awards that were previously issued under the Xxxxxx Computing, Inc. 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, and subsequently assumed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

(d) Maximum Awards to Independent Directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the value of all Awards awarded under this Plan and all other cash compensation paid by the Company to any Independent Director in any calendar year shall not exceed: (i) $1,000,000 in the first calendar year an individual becomes an Independent Director and (ii) $750,000 in any other calendar year; provided, however, that this limitation shall be determined without regard to amounts paid to an Independent Director (including retirement benefits and severance payments) in respect of any services provided in any capacity (including employee or consultant) other than as an Independent Director; and provided further, that the Board may make exceptions to this limit for individual Independent Directors in extraordinary circumstances, as the Board may determine in its discretion, provided that the Independent Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation or in other contemporaneous compensation decisions involving such Independent Director.

Section 5. Eligibility

Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to employees (including officers and directors who are also employees) of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. All other Awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors and key persons (including consultants and prospective employees) of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 6. Stock Options

(a) Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve, and may be either Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options. To the extent that an Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

F-6

(b) Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 6 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable, as set forth in the Award Agreement. If the Administrator so determines, Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation at the optionee’s election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may establish.

(i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 6 shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date. If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the exercise price of such Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date.

(ii) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Stock Option is granted. If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years from the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that on the last business day of the term of an Option (other than an Incentive Stock Option) (i) the exercise of the Option is prohibited by applicable law or (ii) Stock may not be purchased or sold by certain employees or directors of the Company due to a black-out period of a Company policy or a lock-up agreement undertaken in connection with an offering of securities of the Company, the term of the Option shall be extended for a period of thirty (30) days following the end of the legal prohibition, black-out period or lock-up agreement subject to the requirements of Section 409A; provided, however, that no such extension will be made if the exercise price of such Option at the date the initial term would otherwise expire is above the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date.

(iii) Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder. Stock Options shall become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after the Grant Date. The Administrator may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of any Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options.

(iv) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods to the extent provided in the Option Award agreement:

(A) In cash, or by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator;

F-7

(B) Through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Stock that are not then subject to restrictions under any company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date;

(C) By a “cashless exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the optionee delivers to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure;

(D) With the consent of the Administrator, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; or

(E) Any other method permitted by the Administrator.

Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company of the shares of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Option Award agreement or applicable provisions of laws. In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of shares attested to.

(c) Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and subsidiary corporations become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such Stock Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this limit, Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted.

(d) Non-transferability of Incentive Stock Options. No Incentive Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and Incentive Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only by the optionee, or by the optionee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the optionee’s incapacity.

F-8

Section 7. Stock Appreciation Rights

(a) Nature of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive cash or shares of Stock, as determined by the Administrator, having a value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise over the xxxxx xxxxx of the Stock Appreciation Right multiplied by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such other terms and conditions as shall be determined from time to time by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement.

(i) Xxxxx Xxxxx of Stock Appreciation Rights. The xxxxx xxxxx of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Grant Date.

(ii) Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted by the Administrator in tandem with, or independently of, any Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 6 of the Plan.

(iii) Stock Appreciation Right Term. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right may not exceed ten years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that on the last business day of the term of a Stock Appreciation Right (i) the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right is prohibited by applicable law or (ii) Stock may not be purchased or sold by certain employees or directors of the Company due to a black-out period of a Company policy or a lock-up agreement undertaken in connection with an offering of securities of the Company, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right shall be extended for a period of thirty (30) days following the end of the legal prohibition, black-out period or lock-up agreement subject to the requirements of Section 409A; provided, however, that no such extension will be made if the xxxxx xxxxx of such Stock Appreciation Right at the date the initial term would otherwise expire is above the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date. The terms and conditions of each such Award shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees.

Section 8. Restricted Stock Awards

(a) Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. A Restricted Stock Award is an Award entitling the recipient to acquire, at such purchase price (if any) as determined by the Administrator, shares of Stock subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant (“Restricted Stock”). Conditions may be based on a continuing Service Relationship and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The grant of a Restricted Stock Award is contingent on the grantee executing a Restricted Stock Award agreement. The terms and conditions of each such agreement shall be determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees.

(b) Rights as a Stockholder. Upon execution of a written instrument setting forth the Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the Restricted Stock, subject to any exceptions or conditions contained in the written instrument evidencing the Restricted Stock Award. Unless the Administrator shall otherwise determine, certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company as escrow agent until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided in Section 8(d) below, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank.

F-9

(c) Restrictions. Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided herein or in the Restricted Stock Award agreement. If a grantee’s Service Relationship terminates for any reason, the Company shall have the right to repurchase from the grantee or the grantee’s legal representative Restricted Stock that has not vested as of the Termination Date, pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement. Unless otherwise stated in the written instrument evidencing the Restricted Stock Award, any Restricted Stock for which the grantee did not pay any purchase price and which is not vested as of the grantee’s Termination Date shall automatically be forfeited immediately following such termination.

(d) Vesting of Restricted Stock. The Administrator at the time of grant shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the non-transferability of the Restricted Stock and the Company’s right of repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment of such pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be Restricted Shares and shall be deemed “vested.” Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award agreement or, subject to Section 17 below, in writing after the Award agreement is issued, a grantee’s rights in any shares of Restricted Stock that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s Termination Date and such shares shall be subject to forfeiture or the Company’s right of repurchase as provided in Section 8(c) above.

Section 9. Restricted Stock Units

(a) Nature of Restricted Stock Units. A Restricted Stock Unit is a bookkeeping entry representing the right to receive, upon its vesting, one share of Stock (or a percentage or multiple of one share of Stock if so specified in the Award Agreement evidencing the Award) for each Restricted Stock Unit awarded to a grantee and represents an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. The Administrator shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Unit at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on a continuing Service Relationship and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. At the end of the vesting period, the Restricted Stock Units, to the extent vested, shall be settled in the form of shares of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator, in its discretion, may determine either at the time of grant or at the time of settlement, that a Restricted Stock Unit shall be settled in cash. To the extent that an award of Restricted Stock Units is subject to Section 409A, it may contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion in order for such Award to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

F-10

(b) Rights as a Stockholder. A grantee shall have the rights as a stockholder only as to shares of Stock acquired by the grantee upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that the grantee may be credited with Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the unissued shares of Stock underlying his Restricted Stock Units, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may determine.

(c) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award agreement or, subject to Section 17 below, in writing after the Award is issued, a grantee’s right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate on the grantee’s Termination Date.

Section 10. Unrestricted Stock Awards

The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at a purchase price (determined by the Administrator) an Unrestricted Stock Award to any grantee, pursuant to which such grantee may receive shares of Stock free of any restrictions (“Unrestricted Stock”) under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted or sold as described in the preceding sentence in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of any cash compensation due to such participant.

Section 11. Cash Awards

The Administrator, in its discretion, may provide for cash payments to be made under the Plan as a form of Award. The Administrator shall determine a cash payment amount, formula or payment range for the Cash Award, the conditions upon which the Cash Award shall become vested or payable, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine. Payment, if any, with respect to a Cash Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award.

Section 12. Dividend Equivalent Rights

(a) Dividend Equivalent Rights. A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the recipient to receive credits based on cash dividends that would be paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other Award to which it relates) if such shares were held by the recipient. A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any participant, as a component of another Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right) or as a freestanding award. The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the grant. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional dividend equivalents. Any such reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment or such other price as may then apply under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the Company, if any. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of Stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may provide that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other award, and that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may also contain terms and conditions different from such other Award.

F-11

Section 13. Tax Withholding

(a) Payment by Xxxxxxx. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received thereunder first becomes taxable, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any Federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such income. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The Company’s obligation to deliver Stock to any grantee is subject to and is conditioned on tax obligations being satisfied by the grantee.

(b) Payment in Stock. If provided in the instrument evidencing an Award, either the grantee or the Company may elect to have up to the statutory maximum required tax withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) withholding from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy such withholding amount due, or (ii) allowing a grantee to transfer to the Company shares of Stock owned by the grantee with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy such withholding amount due.

Section 14. Transferability of Awards

No Award shall be transferable by the grantee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and all Awards shall be exercisable, during the grantee’s lifetime, only by the grantee, or by the grantee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the grantee’s incapacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement regarding a given Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option), or may agree in writing with respect to an outstanding Award, that the grantee may transfer the Award to members of the grantee’s immediate family, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award.

Section 15. Section 409A Awards

Awards are intended to be exempt from Section 409A to the greatest extent possible and to otherwise comply with Section 409A, and the Plan and all Award Agreements shall be interpreted accordingly. To the extent that any Award is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A Award”), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Administrator from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a grantee who is then considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantee’s separation from service, or (ii) the grantee’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. Further, the settlement of any 409A Award may not be accelerated or postponed except to the extent permitted by Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall have any liability or obligation to any Award recipient or any other person for any taxes, interests or penalties that may arise as a result of any failure of the Plan or an Award to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A.

F-12

Section 16. Termination of Service Relationship

For purposes of the Plan, unless as otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of a Service Relationship:

(a) a transfer to the employment or service of the Company from a Subsidiary or from the Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another;

(b) any change in status between full-time and part-time employment, or a change in relationship between employee and consultant; or

(c) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee’s right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise so provides in writing.

Section 17. Amendments and Termination

The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the holder’s consent. To the extent required under the rules of any securities exchange or market system on which the Stock is listed, or to the extent determined by the Administrator to be required by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders. Nothing in this Section 17 shall limit the Administrator’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Sections 3(b) or 4(c).

Section 18. Status of Plan

With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Administrator shall otherwise expressly determine in connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the foregoing sentence.

F-13

Section 19. Change in Control Provisions

(a) In the event of and subject to the consummation of a Change in Control Transaction as defined in this Section 19, the Administrator may cause the assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the successor entity or parent thereof, or the substitution of such Awards with new Awards of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices. To the extent the successor corporation in such Change in Control Transaction does not provide for the assumption, continuation or substitution of Awards, upon the closing of the Change in Control Transaction (the “Closing”) the Plan and all outstanding Awards granted hereunder shall terminate. In such case, except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant Award Agreement, all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights with time-based vesting conditions or restrictions that are not vested and/or exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of the Change in Control Transaction shall become fully vested and exercisable, all other Awards with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and all Awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and nonforfeitable in connection with a Change in Control Transaction in the Administrator’s discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant Award Agreement. In the event of such termination, (i) the Company shall have the option (in its sole discretion) to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to the grantees holding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the “Transaction Price” (as defined below) multiplied by the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of the Transaction Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (provided that, in the case of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price equal to or greater than the Transaction Price, such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be cancelled for no consideration); or (ii) each grantee shall be permitted, within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Change in Control Transaction as determined by the Administrator, to exercise all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable) held by such grantee. The Company shall also have the option (in its sole discretion) to make or provide for a payment, in cash or in kind, to the grantees holding other Awards in an amount equal to the Transaction Price multiplied by the number of vested shares of Stock under such Awards.

(b) “Change in Control Transaction” shall mean (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity, (ii) a merger, reorganization or consolidation pursuant to which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting power and outstanding stock immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power and outstanding stock or other equity interests of the resulting or successor entity (or its ultimate parent, if applicable) immediately upon completion of such transaction, (iii) the sale of all of the Stock of the Company to an unrelated person, entity or group thereof acting in concert, or (iv) any other transaction in which the owners of the Company’s outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company or any successor entity immediately upon completion of the transaction other than as a result of the acquisition of securities directly from the Company.

(c) “Transaction Price,” with respect to a Change in Control Transaction, shall mean the consideration payable, or otherwise to be received by stockholders of the Company, per share of Stock, as determined by the Administrator.

F-14

Section 20. General Provisions

(a) No Distribution; Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Administrator may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof. No shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to an Award until all applicable securities law and other legal and stock exchange or similar requirements, whether located in the United States or a foreign jurisdiction, have been satisfied. The Administrator may require the placing of such stop-orders and restrictive legends on certificates, or notations on book records, for Stock and Awards as it deems appropriate. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Administrator may require that an individual make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Administrator, in its discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Administrator shall have the right to require any individual to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator.

(b) Issuance of Stock; Fractional Shares. To the extent certificated, stock certificates shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a Stock transfer agent of the Company shall have given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company, notice of issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic “book entry” records). No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Administrator shall determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

(c) Awards to Non U.S. Recipients. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, Awards may be made to an individual who is a foreign national or employed or performing services outside of the United States on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as the Administrator considers necessary or advisable to achieve the purposes of the Plan or to comply with applicable laws. The Administrator may establish subplans with respect to such Awards and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent the Administrator determines such actions to be necessary or advisable (and such subplans and/or modifications shall be incorporated into and made part of this Plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards shall be granted, that would violate the Exchange Act or any other applicable United States securities law, the Code, or any other applicable United States governing statute or law.

(d) Other Incentive Arrangements; No Rights to Continued Service Relationship. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional incentive arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any grantee any right to continued employment or other Service Relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary.

F-15

(e) Trading Policy Restrictions. Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to such company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy, as in effect from time to time.

(f) Forfeiture of Awards under Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act; Clawback Policy. If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, then, to the extent required by law, any grantee who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 shall reimburse the Company for the amount of any Award received by such individual under the Plan during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement. In addition, Awards under the Plan shall be subject to any policy of the Company providing for forfeiture of incentive or performance based compensation in the event of an individual’s misconduct, or certain changes in the financial reporting or financial results of the Company (such policy, a “Clawback Policy”), as may be in effect from time to time.

(g) Delivery and Execution of Electronic Documents. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company may (i) deliver by email or other electronic means (including posting on a web site maintained by the Company or by a third party under contract with the Company) all documents relating to the Plan and any Award thereunder (including without limitation, prospectuses required by the SEC) and all other documents that the Company is required to deliver to its security holders (including without limitation, annual reports and proxy statements) and (ii) permit participants in the Plan to electronically execute applicable Plan documents (including but not limited to, Award Agreements) in a manner prescribed by the Administrator.

Section 21. Effective Date of Plan, Term of Plan

This Plan shall become effective upon the date immediately preceding the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, subject to prior stockholder approval in accordance with applicable state law, the Company’s bylaws and certificate of incorporation, and applicable stock exchange rules. No grants of Stock Options and other Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date and no grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan is approved by the Board.

Section 22. Governing Law

This Plan and all Awards and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, applied without regard to conflict of law principles.

The purpose of the Xxxxxx Computing Holdings Inc. 202[•] Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) is to provide eligible employees of Xxxxxx Computing Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) and each Designated Company (as defined below) with the opportunity to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Stock”).

The Plan is comprised of two components: (a) the “423 Component,” pursuant to which rights to purchase Stock that satisfy the requirements for an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Code (a “Qualified ESPP”) may be granted to eligible Employees, and (b) the “Non-423 Component,” pursuant to which rights to purchase Stock under the Plan that are not intended to satisfy such requirements may be granted to eligible employees. The Company intends (but makes no undertaking or representation to maintain) the 423 Component to qualify as a Qualified ESPP. The provisions of the 423 Component, accordingly, will be construed in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or determined by the Administrator, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component. In addition, the Company may make separate Offerings under the 423 Component which vary in terms (provided that such terms are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan or the requirements of a Qualified ESPP), and the Company will designate which Designated Company is participating in each separate Offering.

Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, an Offering will begin on the first Trading Day occurring on or after each January 1 and July 1, and will end on the last Trading Date occurring before the July 1 and January 1 thereafter, respectively. The Administrator may, in its discretion, designate a different period for any Offering, provided that no Offering shall exceed 27 months in duration.

Section 7. Participation

An eligible Employee may participate in an Offering by submitting an enrollment form to the Company or an agent designated by the Company at least 15 business days before the Offering Commencement Date (or by such other deadline as shall be established by the Administrator for the Offering). The enrollment form (which may be in an electronic format or such other method as determined by the Company in accordance with the Company’s practices) will (a) state a whole percentage or amount to be deducted from the Employee’s Compensation per pay period, (b) authorize the purchase of Stock in each Offering in accordance with the terms of the Plan and (c) specify the exact name or names in which shares of Stock purchased for such individual are to be issued. An Employee who does not enroll in accordance with these procedures will be deemed to have waived the right to participate in such Offering. Unless a Participant files a new enrollment form or withdraws from the Plan, such Participant’s deductions or contributions and purchases will continue at the same percentage or amount of Compensation for future Offerings, provided he or she remains eligible.

Section 8. Employee Contributions.

An eligible Employee may authorize payroll deductions or contributions at a minimum of one percent (1%) up to a maximum of 15 percent (15%) of such Employee’s Compensation for each pay period or such other maximum as may be specified by the Administrator in advance of an Offering. The Company will maintain book accounts showing the amount of payroll deductions or contributions made by each Participant for each Offering. No interest will accrue or be paid on payroll deductions or contributions, except as may be required by applicable law. If payroll deductions or contributions for purposes of the Plan are prohibited or otherwise problematic under applicable law (as determined by the Administrator in its discretion), the Administrator may require Participants to contribute to the Plan by such other means as determined by the Administrator. Any reference to “payroll deductions or contributions” in this Section 8 (or in any other section of the Plan) will similarly cover contributions by other means made pursuant to this Section 8.

G-4

Section 9. Contribution Changes; Xxxxxxxxxx

(a) Except as may be determined by the Administrator in advance of an Offering, a Participant may not increase or decrease his or her payroll deduction or contributions during any Offering, but may increase or decrease his or her payroll deduction or contributions with respect to the next Offering by filing a new enrollment form at least fifteen (15) business days before the next Offering Commencement Date (or by such other deadline as shall be established by the Administrator for the Offering). The Administrator may, in advance of any Offering, establish rules permitting a Participant to increase, decrease or terminate his or her payroll deduction or contributions during an Offering.

(b) A Participant may withdraw from participation in the Plan by delivering a written notice of withdrawal to the Company or an agent designated by the Company (in accordance with such procedures as may be established by the Administrator). The Participant’s withdrawal will be effective as of the next business day. Following a Participant’s withdrawal, the Company will promptly refund such individual’s entire account balance under the Plan to him or her (after payment for any Stock purchased before the effective date of withdrawal). Partial withdrawals are not permitted. Such an Employee may not begin participation again during the remainder of the Offering, but may enroll in a subsequent Offering in accordance with Section 7.

Section 10. Grant of Options

On each Offering Commencement Date, the Company will grant to each eligible Employee who is then a Participant in the Plan an option (“Option”) to purchase, on the last day of such Offering (the “Exercise Date”) and at the Option Price (as defined herein) hereinafter provided for, the lowest of (a) a number of shares of Stock determined by dividing such Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions or contributions on such Exercise Date by the Option Price, (b) the number of shares of Stock determined by dividing $25,000 by the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Offering Commencement Date for such Offering; or (c) such other lesser maximum number of shares as shall have been established by the Administrator in advance of the Offering; provided, however, that such Option shall be subject to the limitations set forth below. Each Participant’s Option shall be exercisable only to the extent of such Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions or contributions on the Exercise Date. The purchase price for each share purchased under each Option (the “Option Price”) will be eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Offering Commencement Date or the Exercise Date, whichever is less.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Employee shall be eligible for the grant of an Option under the 423 Component if such Employee, immediately after the Option was granted, would be treated as owning stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining the stock ownership of a Participant. In addition, no Employee may be granted an Option under the 423 Component which permits his or her rights to purchase stock under the Plan, and any other employee stock purchase plan of the Company and its Parents and Subsidiaries, to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of the Fair Market Value of the Stock (determined on the option grant date or dates) for each calendar year in which the Option is outstanding at any time.

G-5

Section 11. Exercise of Option and Purchase of Shares

Each Employee who continues to be a Participant in the Plan on an Exercise Date shall be deemed to have exercised his or her Option on such date and shall acquire from the Company such number of whole shares of Stock reserved for the purpose of the Plan as his or her accumulated payroll deductions or contributions on such date will purchase at the Option Price, subject to any other limitations contained in the Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in advance of an Offering, any amount remaining in a Participant’s account at the end of an Offering solely by reason of the inability to purchase a fractional share will be carried forward to the next Offering and any other balance remaining in a Participant’s account at the end of an Offering will be refunded to the Participant promptly.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the total number of shares of Stock that would otherwise be purchased on any Exercise Date plus the number of shares purchased under previous Offerings under the Plan exceeds the maximum number of shares issuable under the Plan, the shares then available shall be apportioned among Participants in proportion to the amount of payroll deductions or contributions accumulated on behalf of each Participant that would otherwise be used to purchase Stock on such Exercise Date.

Section 12. Issuance of Certificates

Certificates or book-entries at the Company’s transfer agent representing shares of Stock purchased under the Plan may be issued only in the name of the Employee, in the name of the Employee and another person of legal age as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, or in the name of a broker authorized by the Employee to be his, her or their, nominee for such purpose.

Section 13. Rights on Termination or Transfer of Employment

If a Participant’s employment terminates for any reason before the Exercise Date for any Offering, no payroll deduction or contributions will be taken from any pay due and owing to the Participant and the balance in the Participant’s account will be paid to such Participant or, in the case of such Participant’s death, if permitted by the Administrator and valid under applicable law, to his or her designated beneficiary or to the legal representative of his or her estate. An Employee will be deemed to have terminated employment, for this purpose, if the corporation that employs him or her, having been a Designated Company, ceases to be a Subsidiary or Affiliate, or if the Employee is transferred to any corporation other than the Company or a Designated Company. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, a Participant whose employment transfers between, or whose employment terminates with an immediate rehire (with no break in service) by, Designated Companies or a Designated Company and the Company will not be treated as having terminated employment for purposes of participating in the Plan or an Offering; provided, however, that if a Participant transfers from an Offering under the 423 Component to an Offering under the Non-423 Component, the exercise of the Participant’s Option will be qualified under the 423 Component only to the extent that such exercise complies with Section 423 of the Code. If a Participant transfers from an Offering under the Non-423 Component to an Offering under the 423 Component, the exercise of the Participant’s Option will remain non-qualified under the Non-423 Component. Further, an Employee will not be deemed to have terminated employment for purposes of this Section 13, if the Employee is on an approved leave of absence where the Employee’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise provides in writing.

Section 14. Special Rules and Sub-Plans

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrator may adopt special rules or sub-plans applicable to the Employees of a particular Designated Company, whenever the Administrator determines that such rules are necessary or appropriate for the implementation of the Plan in a jurisdiction where such Designated Company has Employees, regarding, without limitation, eligibility to participate in the Plan, handling and making of payroll deductions or contributions by other means, establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions or contributions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, obligation to pay payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of share issuances, any of which may vary according to applicable requirements; provided that if such special rules or sub-plans are inconsistent with the requirements of Section 423(b) of the Code the Employees subject to such special rules or sub-plans will participate in the Non-423 Component. Any special rules or sub-plans established pursuant to this Section 14 shall, to the extent possible, result in the Employees subject to such rules having substantially the same rights as other Participants in the Plan.

Section 15. Adjustment in Case of Changes Affecting Stock; Change in Control

In the event of a subdivision of outstanding shares of Stock, the payment of a dividend in Stock or any other change affecting the Stock, the number of shares approved for the Plan and the share limitation set forth in Section 10 shall be equitably or proportionately adjusted to give proper effect to such event. In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Change in Control, the Administrator, in its discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any right under the Plan or to facilitate such transactions or events:

(a) to provide for either (i) termination of any outstanding Option in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been obtained upon the exercise of such Option had such Option been currently exercisable or (ii) the replacement of such outstanding Option with other options or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion;

(b) to provide that the outstanding Options under the Plan shall be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for similar options covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

(c) to make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Options under the Plan and/or in the terms and conditions of outstanding Options and Options that may be granted in the future;

G-7

(d) to provide that the Offering with respect to which an Option relates will be shortened, and that the Exercise Date with respect to such Offering shall be the last Trading Date of such shortened period (the “New Exercise Date”). The New Exercise Date will occur before the date of the Change in Control. The Administrator will notify each Participant in writing or electronically prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s Option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s Option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering; and

(e) to provide that all outstanding Options shall terminate without being exercised and all amounts in the accounts of Participants shall be promptly refunded.

Section 16. Amendment of the Plan

The Board may at any time and from time to time amend the Plan in any respect, except that (i) without the approval within 12 months of such Board action by the stockholders, no amendment shall be made increasing the number of shares approved for the 423 Component of the Plan or making any other change to the 423 Component of the Plan that would require stockholder approval in order for the Plan, as amended, to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423(b) of the Code; and (ii) no amendment to the Plan that would require stockholder approval under the rules of any securities exchange or market system will be made without such approval.

Section 17. Termination of the Plan; Term of Plan

The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Board. Upon termination of the Plan, all amounts in the accounts of Participants shall be promptly refunded. Unless terminated earlier, the Plan shall automatically terminate on the ten-year anniversary of the Effective Date.

Section 18. Compliance with Law

The Company’s obligation to sell and deliver Stock under the Plan is subject to applicable laws and the completion of any registration or qualification of the Stock under any U.S. or non-U.S. local, state or federal securities or exchange control law, or under rulings or regulations of the SEC or of any other governmental regulatory body, and to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any U.S. and non-U.S. local, state or federal governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. The Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Stock with the SEC or any other U.S. or non-U.S. securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of such stock.

Section 19. Miscellaneous

(a) No Rights as a Shareholder. Neither the granting of an Option to a Participant nor the deductions or contributions from his or her pay shall result in such Participant becoming a holder of the shares of Stock covered by an Option under the Plan until such shares have been purchased by and issued to him or her.

(b) Required Notification upon Sale of Shared under the 423 Component. Each Participant agrees, by entering the 423 Component of the Plan, to give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of shares purchased under the Plan where such disposition occurs within two years after the date of grant of the Option pursuant to which such shares were purchased or within one year after the date such shares were purchased.

G-8

(c) No Transferability. Options under the Plan are not transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant.

(d) No Right to Employment. Neither eligibility to participate in nor participation in the Plan shall be deemed to create any right of continued employment or in any way affect to the right of the Company or a Designated Company to terminate employment of any Employee.

(e) Unfunded Plan. All funds received or held by the Company under the Plan may be combined with other corporate funds and may be used for any corporate purpose, unless otherwise required under applicable law.

(f) Governing Law. The Plan and all Options and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, applied without regard to conflict of law principles.

Section 20. Tax Withholding

Participation in the Plan is subject to any applicable U.S. and non-U.S. federal, state or local tax withholding requirements on income the Participant realizes in connection with the Plan. Each Participant agrees, by entering the Plan, that the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate may withhold from a Participant’s wages, salary or other compensation at any time the amount necessary for the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate any tax deductions or benefits attributable to the sale or disposition of Stock by such Participant. In addition, the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate may withhold from the proceeds of the sale of Stock or use any other method of withholding that the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate deems appropriate to the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f) with respect to the 423 Component. The Company will not be required to issue any Stock under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.
