(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II, the Company, the Company Stockholders or the holders of any of the securities of Parent, the following shall occur:

6

(i) Each share of Company Stock (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding at the First Effective Time will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive (A) with respect to each share of Company Stock other than shares of Company Series X Preferred Stock, a number of shares of Parent Class A Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, (B) with respect to the holder of shares of Company Stock other than shares of Company Series X Preferred Stock and the shares of Conversion Stock, (i) its Escrow Pro Rata Share of any Escrow Shares released by the Escrow Agent from the Escrow Account to the Company Stockholders as set forth in Section 2.14(b)(ii) and the Escrow Agreement and (ii) its Earn Out Pro Rata Share of any Earn Out Shares in shares of Parent Class A Stock in accordance with Article III, and (C) with respect to each share of Company Series X Preferred Stock, one share of Parent Series X Preferred Stock, in each case, without interest, upon surrender of stock certificates representing all of such Company Stockholder’s Company Stock (each, a “Certificate”) and delivery of the other documents required pursuant to Section 2.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate number of shares of Parent Class A Stock issuable to each Company Stockholder pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(i)(A) (other than in respect of a Company Stockholders’ shares of Conversion Stock) shall be reduced by a number of shares of Parent Class A Stock equal to such Company Stockholder’s Escrow Pro Rata Share of such number of shares of Parent Class A Stock issued (A) to the PIPE Investors other than (i) Oaktree and (ii) Polpat, solely with respect to its PIPE Investment Amount, if any, and (B) to former Conversion Stockholders in respect of their shares of Conversion Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Convertible Notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed 27,782,840 shares of Parent Class A Stock, which such shares of Parent Class A Stock shall be held in escrow pursuant to Section 2.14. As of the First Effective Time, each Company Stockholder shall cease to have any other rights in and to the Company or the Surviving Corporation, and each Certificate relating to the ownership of shares of Company Stock (other than Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Total Stockholder Consideration.

(ii) No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Mergers, and any such fractional share (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such Company Stockholder) shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(iii) Each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, which shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the First Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(iv) Each share of Company Stock held in the Company’s treasury or owned by Parent, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II or the Company immediately prior to the First Effective Time (each an “Excluded Share”), shall be cancelled and no consideration shall be paid or payable with respect thereto.

(v) The numbers of shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Series X Preferred Stock, as applicable, that the Company Stockholders are entitled to receive as a result of the Mergers and as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, split-up, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock), extraordinary cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock and Parent Series X Preferred Stock occurring on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing.

7

(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any securities of Parent or the Surviving Corporation: (a) each share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor; and (b) the limited liability company interests of Merger Sub II outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be converted into and become the limited liability company interests of the Surviving Entity, which shall constitute 100% of the outstanding equity of the Surviving Entity, all of which shall be owned by Parent, which shall continue as the sole member of the Surviving Entity. From and after the Second Effective Time, the limited liability company interests of Merger Sub II as of immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of limited liability company interests of the Surviving Entity into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 2.08 Treatment of Company Options, Company Warrants and Convertible Notes.

(a) Effective as of the First Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of Parent or the Company, be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into a stock option (a “Converted Option”) to acquire shares of Parent Class A Stock. Each such Converted Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including vesting) as applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time (but taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the applicable Equity Incentive Plan, in any award agreement or in such Company Option by reason of this Agreement or the Transactions). As of the First Effective Time, each such Converted Option as so assumed and converted shall be exercisable for that number of shares of Parent Class A Stock determined by multiplying the number of shares of the Company Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, which product shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, at a per share exercise price determined by dividing the per share exercise price of such Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, which quotient shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent; provided, however, that the conversion of the Company Options will be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that such conversion will not constitute a “modification” of such Company Options for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code. Each holder of a vested Converted Option as of immediately following the First Effective Time shall also be entitled to receive its Earn Out Pro Rata Share of any Earn Out Shares in Converted Options exercisable for shares of Parent Class A Stock if a Triggering Event occurs in accordance with Article III. As of the First Effective Time, all Company Options shall no longer be outstanding and each holder of Converted Options shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Options, except as set forth in this Section 2.08(a). The Company shall take all necessary or desirable actions to effect the treatment of Company Options pursuant to this Section 2.08(a) in accordance with the Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreements.

(b) The term “Company Warrant” means each unexercised warrant to purchase shares of Company Stock from the Company held by any Person, whether or not then vested or fully exercisable, granted prior to the First Effective Time (each such Person, a “Company Warrantholder”), and the term “Exercisable Company Warrant” means each Company Warrant that is vested or fully exercisable immediately prior to the First Effective Time. Each Company Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time, shall be either (i) converted into shares of Parent Class A Stock and in connection therewith such underlying Company Warrant shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as if it was exercised or terminated immediately prior to the First Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the agreements underlying such Company Warrant or (ii) assumed by Parent and converted into a warrant of Parent to purchase shares of Parent Class A Stock.

(c) Prior to the First Effective Time, each Convertible Note will be converted into Company Stock, be paid off in accordance with the terms thereof or remain outstanding as Indebtedness without the right to convert into capital stock following the First Effective Time.

8

(d) Effective upon the occurrence of the Second Effective Time and to the extent not otherwise paid off at the Closing, Parent shall assume any outstanding Indebtedness of the Company.

Section 2.09 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.07, shares of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and held by a Company Stockholder who has not voted in favor of the Mergers or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with the DGCL shall not be converted into the right to receive such Company Stockholder’s applicable portion of the Total Stockholder Consideration in accordance with Section 2.07(a)(i) (such shares of Company Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares”), unless such Company Stockholder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal. If, after the First Effective Time, such Company Stockholder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal, such Dissenting Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the First Effective Time into the right to receive such Company Stockholder’s applicable portion of the Total Stockholder Consideration. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice (and in any event within two Business Days) of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Stock or dissenters’ rights, attempted withdrawals of such demands, notices, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or dissenters’ rights or otherwise comply with the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL, or agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.10 Surrender of Company Stock and Certificates and Disbursement of Closing Consideration.

(a) Subject to this Section 2.10, at the First Effective Time, Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to each Company Stockholder by way of the Exchange Agent such Company Stockholder’s applicable portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration (the “Closing Consideration”).

(b) Prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of paying each Company Stockholder their portion of the Closing Consideration; provided, however, that Parent shall afford the Company the opportunity to review any proposed Contract with the Exchange Agent prior to execution, and shall accept the Company’s reasonable comments thereto.

(c) At the First Effective Time, Parent shall make available the aggregate amount of the Closing Consideration (the “Exchange Fund”). At the First Effective Time, Parent shall deliver irrevocable instructions to the Exchange Agent to deliver the Closing Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in the manner it is contemplated to be issued or paid pursuant to this Article II.

(d) Promptly after the First Effective Time (and in any event within five Business Days thereafter), the Exchange Agent shall mail to each Company Stockholder (other than holders of Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper transfer of each share of Company Stock held by such Company Stockholder to the Exchange Agent, including, as applicable, delivery of any Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of such Certificate as provided in Section 2.10(g)), such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably agree; and (ii) instructions for transferring such shares of Company Stock to the Exchange Agent, including, as applicable, for surrendering any Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of such Certificate as provided in Section 2.10(g)) (the “Surrender Documentation”); provided, however, that the Exchange Agent shall not

9

be required to deliver the Surrender Documentation to any Company Stockholder that has delivered evidence of the proper transfer of its shares of Company Stock to the Exchange Agent, including, as applicable, the surrender of any applicable Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of such Certificate as provided in Section 2.10(g)) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Upon proper transfer of each share of Company Stock to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of the Surrender Documentation, including, as applicable, surrender of any applicable Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of such Certificate as provided in Section 2.10(g)), the Exchange Agent will deliver to the holder of such shares of Company Stock in exchange therefor such holder’s portion of the Closing Consideration in accordance with Section 2.10(a), with the Stockholder Merger Consideration being delivered via book-entry issuance, in each case, after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.11; provided, however, that if the holder of such shares of Company Stock properly transfers to the Exchange Agent such shares of Company Stock, including, as applicable, by surrender of any applicable Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of such Certificate as provided in Section 2.10(g)), at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the holder thereof in exchange therefor such holder’s portion of the Closing Consideration covered by such shares of Company Stock in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) of this sentence on the Closing Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter. Any shares of Company Stock transferred and any Certificates so surrendered in connection therewith shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered or transferred, any shares of Company Stock and any Certificates shall represent after the First Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Total Stockholder Consideration attributable to such shares of Company Stock or such Certificates. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due transfer of such shares of Company Stock or such Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable portion of the Total Stockholder Consideration to be delivered upon due transfer of the underlying shares of Company Stock may be issued to such transferee only if all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable are presented to the Exchange Agent.

(e) From and after the First Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time. If, after the First Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Surviving Entity, Parent or the Exchange Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and deemed exchanged for (without interest) the portion of the Total Stockholder Consideration represented by such Certificate.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund, if applicable) that remains unclaimed by the Company Stockholders for 180 days after the First Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Entity. Any Company Stockholder who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Entity for payment of their respective portion of the Total Stockholder Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.11) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.10(g)) or valid transfer of its shares of Company Stock, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Surviving Entity, Parent, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former Company Stockholder for any amount properly delivered to a Public Official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirements.

(g) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed: (i) upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed; and (ii) if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, or the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue the portion of the Total Stockholder Consideration attributable to such Certificate (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.11).

Section 2.11 Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent and their Affiliates and representatives shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, any amount required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under Applicable Legal Requirements; provided, that if Parent, Merger Sub, Merger Sub II, any of their respective Affiliates, or any party acting on their behalf determines that any payment to the Company Stockholders hereunder is subject to deduction and/or withholding, then Parent shall provide notice to the Company as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination (and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least five Business Days’ prior notice of any such deduction or withholding). To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Any amounts so withheld shall be timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity. Parent, Merger Sub and Merger Sub II agree to reasonably cooperate with the Company in order to reduce or eliminate any deduction or withholding of Taxes required to be made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 2.12 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the First Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Entity following the Mergers with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, Merger Sub and Merger Sub II, the officers and directors or members, as applicable, (or their designees) of the Company, Merger Sub and Merger Sub II are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

Section 2.13 Tax Treatment of the Mergers. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (and for purposes of any applicable state or local tax Legal Requirements that follow the U.S. federal income tax treatment), each of the Parties intends that the Mergers constitute an integrated transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (and any comparable provision of state or local tax Legal Requirements) to which each of Parent and the Company are parties under Section 368(b) of the Code (the “Intended Income Tax Treatment”). This Agreement hereby is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for the purposes of Section 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). The Parties will prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Income Tax Treatment and will not take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return, during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes or otherwise, in each case, except as otherwise required by a change in applicable law after the Effective Date or as required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. No Party shall knowingly take or knowingly cause to be taken any action, or knowingly fail to take any action, which action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to prevent the Mergers from qualifying for the Intended Income Tax Treatment.

Section 2.14 Additional Shares.

(a) Upon and subject to the Closing, Parent and Escrow Agent shall enter into the Escrow Agreement, pursuant to which Parent shall cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent on the Closing Date a number of shares of Parent Class A Stock equal to the number of shares of Parent Class A Stock issued (A) to the PIPE Investors and (B) to former Conversion Stockholders in respect of their shares of Conversion Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Convertible Notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed 27,782,840 shares of Parent Class A Stock. Such shares of Parent Class A Stock

11

delivered to the Escrow Agent and placed in the Escrow Account pursuant to this Section 2.14(a) shall reduce the number of shares of Parent Class A Stock otherwise issuable to the Company Stockholders (other than in respect of shares of Company Series X Preferred Stock and the shares of Conversion Stock) at the Closing. The shares of Parent Class A Stock delivered into the Escrow Account (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to Parent Common Stock occurring on or after the Closing), as long as they remain in the Escrow Account, shall be referred to as the “Escrow Shares”, and shall be held in escrow for the duration of the Adjustment Period and disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Subscription Agreements and the Escrow Agreement. The parties will take all necessary action so that (i) the Escrow Shares shall appear as issued and outstanding on the balance sheet of Parent and shall be legally outstanding under applicable state law, (ii) all dividends paid on the Escrow Shares shall be distributed currently to the persons who would be entitled to receive such Escrow Shares assuming a full release of such Escrow Shares to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.14(b)(ii), and (iii) all voting rights in respect of such Escrow Shares while they are held in the Escrow Account shall be exercisable by or on behalf of the persons who would be entitled to receive such Escrow Shares assuming a full release of such Escrow Shares to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.14(b)(ii). The Parent shall deliver a written instruction to the Escrow Agent to disburse all or a portion of the Escrow Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.14 and in the manner set forth and as further described in the Escrow Agreement (each such instruction, a “Release Instruction”).

(b) On the Measurement Date:

(i) if the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $10.00 per share of Parent Class A Stock, then Parent will instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) after the Measurement Date, release all or a portion of the Escrow Shares in the Escrow Account to the Parent for issuance to the PIPE Investors and the former Conversion Stockholders, with each PIPE Investor or former Conversion Stockholder receiving a number of shares of Parent Class A Stock equal to the product of (x) (A) the number of shares of Parent Class A Stock issued immediately prior to the Closing to such PIPE Investor under such PIPE Investor’s Subscription Agreement which such PIPE Investor continues to hold through the Measurement Date or (B) the number of shares of Parent Class A Stock issued to such former Conversion Stockholder in respect of its shares of Conversion Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Convertible Notes which such former Conversion Stockholder continues to hold through the Measurement Date, as applicable, multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP, and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP (such Escrow Shares, the “Additional Shares”); provided, that in no event shall the number of Additional Shares issued to all of the PIPE Investors and former Conversion Stockholders exceed 27,782,840 shares of Parent Class A Stock in the aggregate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no fraction of a share of Parent Class A Stock will be issued pursuant to this Section 2.14(b)(i), and if a PIPE Investor or former Conversion Stockholder would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Class A Stock, such PIPE Investor or former Conversion Stockholder, as applicable, shall instead have the number of Additional Shares issued to such PIPE Investor or former Conversion Stockholder, as applicable, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Class A Stock. If any Escrow Shares remain in the Escrow Account after transfer to Parent of the shares of Parent Class A Stock sufficient to satisfy in full of the obligation to issue Additional Shares to the PIPE Investors and former Conversion Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.14(b)(i), subject to Section 2.14(c), such remaining Escrow Shares shall be distributed to the Company Stockholders (other than the holders of shares of Company Series X Preferred Stock and the former Conversion Stockholders) in accordance with each Company Stockholders’ Escrow Pro Rata Shares as set forth on an updated Merger Consideration Schedule prepared and delivered by Parent to the Escrow Agent; and

12

(ii) subject to Section 2.14(c), if the Adjustment Period VWAP is equal to or more than $10.00 per share of Parent Class A Stock, then Parent will instruct the Escrow Agent to promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) after the Measurement Date, release all the Escrow Shares in the Escrow Account to the Company Stockholders (other than the holders of shares of Company Series X Preferred Stock and the former Conversion Stockholders), in accordance with an updated Merger Consideration Schedule prepared and delivered by Parent to the Escrow Agent, which will specify the Escrow Shares that each Company Stockholder is entitled to receive under this Section 2.14(b)(ii) in accordance with each Company Stockholders’ Escrow Pro Rata Share.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no holder of shares of Company Series X Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive any Escrow Shares in respect of such Company Series X Preferred Stock or Parent Series X Preferred Stock issued as merger consideration in respect thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if (i) at any time from the Closing through the Measurement Date, (A) a PIPE Investor is not the record and beneficial owner of all the Committed Shares (as defined in the Subscription Agreements) initially issued to such PIPE Investor pursuant to such PIPE Investor’s Subscription Agreement or such PIPE Investor otherwise transfers its Committed Shares from the Parent’s transfer agent’s custody to a brokerage or other account not controlled by the Parent’s transfer agent on behalf of such PIPE Investor or (B) a former Conversion Stockholder is not the record and beneficial owner of all of the shares of Parent Class A Stock initially issued to such former Conversion Stockholder in respect of its shares of Conversion Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Convertible Notes or such former Conversion Stockholder otherwise transfers the shares of Parent Class A Stock initially issued to such former Conversion Stockholder in respect of its shares of Conversion Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Convertible Notes from the Parent’s transfer agent’s custody to a brokerage or other account not controlled by the Parent’s transfer agent on behalf of such former Conversion Stockholder or (ii) (A) at any time prior to the Measurement Date, a PIPE Investor or any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with such PIPE Investor, directly or indirectly, engages in any transaction in breach of Section 4(r) of such PIPE Investor’s Subscription Agreement or (B) at any time prior to the Measurement Date, a Conversion Stockholder or any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with such Conversion Stockholder, directly or indirectly, engages in any Hedging Transaction with respect of its shares of Parent Class A Stock initially issued to such former Conversion Stockholder in respect of its shares of Conversion Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Convertible Notes, such PIPE Investor or Conversion Stockholder, as applicable, shall automatically and irrevocably forfeit any right to or interest in any Additional Shares.

(e) For the purposes of this Section 2.14, Oaktree and Polpat shall be excluded from the definition of “PIPE Investor” and shall not be entitled to receive any Additional Shares in their capacity as a PIPE Investor.

ARTICLE III

EARN OUT

Section 3.01 Issuance of Earn Out Shares. Following the Closing, during the Earn Out Period, within the earlier of five Business Days after the occurrence of the applicable Triggering Event and the end of the Earn Out Period, Parent shall issue or cause to be issued to the Earn Out Participants (in accordance with their respective Earn Out Pro Rata Shares) an aggregate of up to 100,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to Parent Common Stock and Converted Options occurring on or after the Closing, the “Earn Out Shares”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, each Earn Out

13

Participant shall be entitled to receive a one-time issuance of its Earn Out Pro Rata Share of the Triggered Earn Out Shares with respect to such Triggering Event. In no event will the Earn Out Participants be entitled to receive more than an aggregate of 100,000,000 Earn Out Shares. Any unearned portion of the Earn Out Shares not earned prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period shall be forfeited.

Section 3.02 Acceleration Event. If, during the applicable portion of the Earn Out Period, there is a Change of Control that will result in the holders of Parent Common Stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of the applicable Common Share Price required in connection with an applicable Triggering Event (an “Acceleration Event”), then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control any applicable Earn Out Shares that have not previously been issued to the Company Stockholders (whether or not previously earned) shall be deemed earned (and such Triggering Event achieved); provided, however, that such Earn Out Shares shall be deemed earned (and such Triggering Event achieved) only (a) if such Change of Control has been approved by a majority of the independent directors on the board of directors of Parent; and (b) to the extent the price per share of Parent Common Stock in the Change of Control equals or exceeds the applicable Common Share Price required in connection with such Triggering Event. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Change of Control, including where the consideration payable is other than a specified price per share, for purposes of determining whether a Common Share Price required in connection with an applicable Triggering Event has been achieved, the price paid per share of Parent Common Stock shall be calculated as if the Earn Out Shares with respect to such Triggering Event (inclusive of all other Triggering Events that are achieved by such Common Share Price) are issued and outstanding.

Section 3.03 Tax Treatment of Earn Out Shares and Escrow Shares. The Parties intend for any issuance of Earn Out Shares and any release of Escrow Shares to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.14(b) (excluding any issuance or release that is properly treated as compensation for applicable Tax purposes, and excluding any amounts properly characterized as interest for applicable tax purposes), including any issuance of Earn Out Shares made upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event pursuant to Section 3.02, to be treated as an adjustment to the Total Stockholder Consideration by the Parties that is eligible for treatment as qualifying property that may be received without the recognition of gain in connection with the Mergers for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, and the Parties agree to prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with such treatment and will not take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return, during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes or otherwise, except as otherwise required by a change in applicable law after the Effective Date or as required by a determination within the meaning 1313(a) of the Code, and any such issuance of Earn Out Shares or release of Escrow Shares, including any issuance of Earn Out Shares made upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event pursuant to Section 3.02, is intended to comply with, and shall be effected in accordance with, Rev. Proc. 84-42, 1984-1 C.B. 521.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 5.07(a) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, Parent has timely filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents, including any exhibits thereto, required to be filed or furnished by Parent with the SEC under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act since the consummation of Parent’s initial public offering to the Effective Date, together with any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto (all of the foregoing filed prior to the Effective Date, the “Parent SEC Reports”), and will have timely filed all such forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required to be filed subsequent to the Effective Date through the Closing Date (the “Additional Parent SEC Reports”). All Parent SEC Reports, Additional Parent SEC Reports, any correspondence from or to the SEC or the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (other than such correspondence in connection with the initial public offering of Parent) and all certifications and statements required by: (i) Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 under the Exchange Act; or (ii) 18 U.S.C. § 1350 (Section 906) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Certifications”) are available on the SEC’s Electronic Data-Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (EDGAR) in full without redaction. The Parent SEC Reports were, and the Additional Parent SEC Reports will be, prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Parent SEC Reports did not, and the Additional Parent SEC Reports will not, at the time they were or are filed, as the case may be, with the SEC contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Certifications are each true and correct. Parent maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Each director and executive officer of Parent has filed with the SEC all statements required with respect to Parent by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. As used in this Section 5.07, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC or the NYSE.

(b) The financial statements and notes contained or incorporated by reference in the Parent SEC Reports fairly present, and the financial statements and notes to be contained in or to be incorporated by reference in the Additional Parent SEC Reports will fairly present, the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Parent as at the respective dates of, and for the periods referred to, in such financial statements, all in accordance with: (i) GAAP; and (ii) Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be material) and the omission of notes to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable. Parent has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the Parent SEC Reports.

37

No financial statements other than those of Parent are required by GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial statements of Parent. As of the Effective Date, there are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received from the SEC with respect to the Parent SEC Reports. Parent has not received any verbal communication or other notice from the SEC indicating that any of the Parent SEC Reports filed on or prior to the Effective Date is subject to ongoing SEC review or investigation as of the Effective Date (including in connection with the Warrant Accounting Issue). To resolve the Warrant Accounting Issue, Parent’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021 filed on July 23, 2021 with the SEC classified the Private Placement Warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value on Parent’s Financial Statements (the “Warrant Liabilities”).

Section 5.09 Litigation. Except as would not be material to Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II: (a) there are no pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing, Legal Proceedings against Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II or any of their properties or assets, or any of the directors or officers (or managers, as applicable) of Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II with regard to their actions as such; (b) to the Knowledge of the Company, there are no pending or threatened in writing, audits, examinations or investigations by any Governmental Entity against Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II with regard to their actions as such; (c) there are no pending or threatened in writing Legal Proceedings by Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II against any third party; (d) there are no settlements or similar agreements that imposes any material ongoing obligations or restrictions on Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II; and (e) there are no Orders imposed or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing to be imposed upon Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II or any of their respective properties or assets, or any of the directors or officers (or managers, as applicable) of Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II with regard to their actions as such.

Section 5.10 Business Activities. Since their respective incorporations and formations, none of Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II has conducted any business activities other than activities: (a) in connection with its organization; or (b) directed toward the accomplishment of a business combination. Except as set forth in the Parent Organizational Documents, there is no Contract or Order binding upon Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II or to which any of them is a party which has or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of it, any acquisition of property by it or the conduct of business by it as currently conducted or as currently contemplated to be conducted (including, in each case, following the Closing).

Section 5.11 Parent Material Contracts. Except for those Contracts filed (or incorporated by reference) as exhibits to the Parent SEC Reports and except for the documents to be executed by Parent in connection with the PIPE Investment and the other Transactions (the “Parent Material Contracts”), neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is party to any Contract that would be required to be filed (or incorporated by reference) as an exhibit to Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

The issued and outstanding shares of Parent Class A Stock are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on the NYSE under the symbol “IPVF”. The issued and outstanding Public Warrants are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on the NYSE under the symbol “IPVF WS”. Parent is a listed company in good standing with the NYSE. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against Parent by the NYSE or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Parent Units, the shares of Parent Class A Stock or Public Warrants or terminate the listing of Parent on the NYSE. None of Parent or any of its Affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to terminate the registration of the Parent Units, the Parent Class A Stock or Public Warrants under the Exchange Act.

38

Section 5.13 PIPE Investment Amount. Parent has made available to the Company prior to the Effective Date, correct and complete copies of each of the subscription agreements entered into on or prior to the Effective Date (together with the Subsequent Subscription Agreements, the “Subscription Agreements”) entered into by Parent with the applicable investors named therein (along with any investor who executes a Subsequent Subscription Agreement, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have committed, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, to purchase from Parent, shares of Parent Class A Stock for an aggregate investment of at least $200,000,000 (along with any Subsequent PIPE Investment made pursuant to a Subsequent Subscription Agreement, the “PIPE Investment Amount”). The PIPE Investment Amount, together with the amount in the Trust Account at the Closing, are, in the aggregate, sufficient to enable Parent to: (a) pay all cash amounts required to be paid by Parent or its Subsidiaries under or in connection with this Agreement; and (b) pay any and all fees and expenses of or payable by Parent with respect to the Transactions. To Parent’s Knowledge with respect to each PIPE Investor, the Subscription Agreements are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified, in any respect, and no withdrawal, termination, amendment or modification is contemplated by Parent. Each Subscription Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to Parent’s Knowledge, each PIPE Investor. There are no other agreements, side letters, or arrangements between Parent and any PIPE Investor relating to any Subscription Agreement that could affect the obligation of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements, and, as of the Effective Date, Parent does not know of any facts or circumstances that may reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in any Subscription Agreement not being satisfied, or the PIPE Investment Amount not being available to Parent, on the Closing Date. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent under any material term or condition of any Subscription Agreement and, as of the Effective Date, Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it contained in any Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreements contain all of the conditions precedent (other than the conditions contained in the other Transaction Agreements) to the obligations of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements on the terms therein.

Section 5.14 Trust Account.

(a) As of June 30, 2021, Parent had approximately $258,770,580 in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), maintained and invested pursuant to that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) effective as of March 4, 2021, by and between Parent and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company (the “Trustee”) for the benefit of its public stockholders, with such funds invested in United States Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act. Other than pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, the obligations of Parent under this Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding Parent’s, its Affiliates’, or any other Person’s ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the Transactions.

(b) The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified and, to the Knowledge of Parent with respect to the Trustee, is valid and in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies. Parent has complied in all material respects with the terms of the Trust Agreement and is not in breach thereof or default thereunder and there does not exist under the Trust Agreement any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach

39

or default by Parent or, to the Knowledge of Parent, the Trustee. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied): (i) between Parent and the Trustee that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Parent SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) to the Knowledge of Parent, that would entitle any Person (other than stockholders of Parent holding Parent Class A Stock sold in Parent’s initial public offering who shall have elected to redeem their shares of Parent Class A Stock pursuant to Parent’s Charter Documents) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except: (A) to pay income and franchise taxes from any interest income earned in the Trust Account; and (B) to redeem Parent Class A Stock in accordance with the provisions of Parent’s Charter Documents. There are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing with respect to the Trust Account.

Section 5.16 Taxes.

(a) All material Tax Returns required to be filed by Parent and its Subsidiaries have been timely filed (after giving effect to any valid extensions) and all such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects and accurately reflect all material liability for Taxes of (and with respect to) Parent and its Subsidiaries.

(d) No deficiency for any material amount of Taxes has been asserted or assessed by any Governmental Entity in writing against Parent or its Subsidiaries, which deficiency has not been paid or resolved.

(e) There are no Liens for material amounts of Taxes (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of the assets of Parent or its Subsidiaries.

Neither Parent nor its Subsidiaries is presently contesting any material Tax liability before any Governmental Entity.

(k) Neither Parent nor its Subsidiaries has a permanent establishment in any country other than the country of its organization, or is subject to income Tax in a jurisdiction outside the country of its organization, in each case, where it is required to file a material income Tax Return and does not file such Tax Return.

(l) Neither Parent nor its Subsidiaries will be required to include any material item of income in, or exclude any material item or deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date or, in the case of any taxable period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date, the portion of such period beginning after the Closing Date, as a result of: (i) an installment sale or open transaction disposition that occurred prior to the Closing; (ii) any change in method of accounting prior to the Closing, including by reason of the application of Section 481 of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign tax Legal Requirements ); (iii) other than in the ordinary course of business, a prepaid amount received or deferred revenue recognized prior to the Closing; (iv) any intercompany transaction or excess loss account described in the Treasury Regulations under Section 1502 of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state or local tax Legal Requirements) that existed prior to the Closing; (v) any closing agreement pursuant to Section 7121 of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign tax Legal Requirements entered into prior to the Closing or (vi) any inclusion under Section 951(a) or Section 951A of the Code attributable to (A) “subpart F income,” within the meaning of Section 952 of the Code, (B) direct or indirect holding of “United States property,” within the meaning of Section 956 of the Code, or (C) “global intangible low-taxed income,” as defined in Section 951A of the Code, in each case, determined as if the relevant taxable years ended on the Closing Date.

(iii) Each of Parent and the Company shall ensure that none of the information supplied by or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (A) the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC, at each time at which it is amended and at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading or (B) the Proxy Statement will, at the date it is first mailed to the Parent’s stockholders and at the time of the Special Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(iv) If at any time prior to the First Effective Time any information relating to the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors or officers is discovered by the Company or Parent, which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement, so that neither of such documents would include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, with respect to the Proxy Statement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Applicable Legal Requirement, disseminated to the Parent’s stockholders.

51

(v) The Registration Statement, to the extent permitted by applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, also will register the resale of the Parent Shares that constitute the Total Stockholder Consideration, other than certain equity securities issuable under the Equity Incentive Plan that are based on Parent Shares, which shall instead be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or other applicable form, including Form S-1 or Form S-3) in accordance with Section 7.15.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements, (x) Parent’s obligations to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting shall not be affected by any Intervening Event Change in Recommendation; and (y) Parent agrees to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting and submit for approval the Parent Stockholder Matters. By written notice, the Company may request that Parent adjourn the Special Meeting (the “Company Adjournment Request”) until the earlier of (A) fifteen days after the date for which the Special Meeting was then scheduled or (B) the date that is the third Business Day prior to the Outside Date, if the Company believes in good faith that such adjournment is necessary in order to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval or for the absence of a quorum of the Parent stockholders. Upon receipt of the Company Adjournment Request, Parent shall adjourn the Special Meeting for the period of time specified in the Company Adjournment Request; provided, that the Company may not issue more than one Company Adjournment Request. Parent agrees that it shall provide the holders of shares of Parent Common Stock the opportunity to elect redemption of such shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Special Meeting, as required by the Parent Organizational Documents.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the board of directors of Parent may, at any time prior to, but not after, obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify its recommendation to the stockholders of Parent that they vote in favor of the Parent Stockholder Matters (together with any withdrawal, amendment, qualification or

52

modification of its recommendation to the stockholders of Parent described in the recitals hereto solely in response to an Intervening Event, an “Intervening Event Change in Recommendation”) if the failure to take such action would be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the board of directors of Parent to the Parent stockholders under applicable Law; provided, that: (A) the Company shall have received written notice from Parent of Parent’s intention to make an Intervening Event Change in Recommendation at least five Business Days prior to the taking of such action by Parent (the “Intervening Event Notice Period”), which notice shall specify the applicable Intervening Event in reasonable detail; (B) during the Intervening Event Notice Period and prior to making an Intervening Event Change in Recommendation, if requested by the Company, Parent and its representatives shall have negotiated in good faith with the Company and its representatives regarding any revisions or adjustments proposed by the Company to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable Parent to proceed with its recommendation of this Agreement and the Transactions and not make such Intervening Event Change in Recommendation; and (C) if the Company requested negotiations in accordance with clause (B), Parent may make an Intervening Event Change in Recommendation only if the board of directors of Parent, after considering in good faith any revisions or adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that the Company Stockholders shall have, prior to the expiration of the five-Business Day period, offered in writing in a manner that would form a binding contract if accepted by Parent (and the other applicable parties hereto), continues to determine in good faith that failure to make an Intervening Event Change in Recommendation would be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Parent stockholders under applicable Law. An “Intervening Event” shall mean any Event that (i) was not known to the board of directors of Parent as of the Effective Date and (ii) does not relate to (A) any Parent Business Combination proposal or (B) clearance of the Transaction under the regulatory approvals or any other applicable laws, including any action in connection therewith taken pursuant to or required to be taken pursuant to Section 7.02; provided, however, that (1) any change in the price or trading volume of Parent Common Stock shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether an Intervening Event has occurred (in and of itself, but without preventing a determination of an Intervening Event as to the Events underlying such change); and (2) the Company or any if its Subsidiaries meeting, failing to meet or exceeding projections (in and of itself, but without preventing a determination of an Intervening Event as to the Events underlying such change) shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether an Intervening Event has occurred.

With respect to the Regulatory Filings, each Party agrees to use its reasonable best efforts and cooperate with the other Party (i) in timely making inquiries with Governmental Entities regarding the Regulatory Filings; (ii) in determining if any Regulatory Filings are required by Governmental Entities; and (iii) in timely making all Regulatory Filings (except with respect to such jurisdictions where the Parties agree that a Regulatory Filing is not required). If Parent determines that it is required to make any Regulatory Filing or otherwise provide information with respect to Parent or any Parent personnel or Affiliates to a Governmental Entity in connection with any Approval, then the Company will, except as prohibited by Applicable Legal Requirements (in which case the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any required permission to allow disclosure), provide upon Parent’s request relevant portions of all past filings and correspondence with Governmental Entities with respect to any Approvals related to such Regulatory Filing or information provision requirement that Parent reasonably determines to be necessary to make a complete, accurate and timely Regulatory Filing or provision of information. The Parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding in any material respect the receipt of any Regulatory Filings or any other required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals that, if not received, would have or would reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse impact on the business of the Group Companies, taken as a whole.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, promptly, and in any event within ten Business Days following the Effective Date, the Company shall prepare and cause the Broker-Dealer to file with FINRA a continuing membership application (pursuant to FINRA Rule 1017) (the “FINRA Consent Application”), with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall provide the Parent with an opportunity to review and comment upon such FINRA Consent Application (which comments the Company shall consider in good faith and, to the extent any such comments relate to disclosure directly regarding the Parent and such comments are reasonable, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to incorporate such comments into the application) prior to the filing thereof with FINRA. The Company shall promptly apprise the Parent of the occurrence and substance of each material communication from or to FINRA or the SEC with respect to the FINRA Consent Application.

Section 7.03 Other Filings; Press Release.

(a) As promptly as practicable after execution of this Agreement, Parent will prepare and file a Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act to report the execution of this Agreement, the form and substance of which shall be approved in advance by the Company.

(b) Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall also issue a joint press release announcing the execution of this Agreement.

(c) The Parties shall mutually prepare a draft Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the Closing, together with, or incorporating by reference, the financial statements prepared by the Company and its accountant, and such other information that may be required to be disclosed with respect to the Transactions in any report or form to be filed with the SEC (“Closing Form 8-K”), the form and substance of which shall be approved in advance in writing by the Company. Prior to Closing, Parent and the Company shall prepare a joint press release announcing the consummation of the Transactions hereunder (“Closing Press Release”). Concurrently with the Closing, or as soon as practicable thereafter, Parent shall issue the Closing Press Release and shall file the Closing Form 8-K with the SEC.

Section 7.04 Confidentiality; Access to Information.

(a) Parent and the Company acknowledge that they are parties to the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. At the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be superseded in its entirety by the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that if for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the second anniversary of this Agreement, each Party agrees to maintain in confidence any non-public information received from the other Parties, and to use such non-public information only for purposes of consummating the Transactions. Such confidentiality obligations will not apply to: (i) information which was known to one Party or its agents or representatives prior to receipt from the Company or the Company Stockholders, on the one hand, or Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II, on the other hand, as applicable; (ii) information which is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of this Agreement or an existing obligation of confidentiality; (iii) information acquired by a Party or their respective agents or representatives from a third party who was not bound to an obligation of confidentiality; (iv) disclosure required by Applicable Legal Requirement or stock exchange rule; or (v) disclosure consented to in writing by Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II (in the case of the Company Stockholders and, prior to the Closing, the Company) or the Company (in the case of Parent, Merger Sub or Merger Sub II and, following the Closing, the Company).

(b) None of the Parties will make any public announcement or issue any public communication regarding this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or the Transactions or any matter related to the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the Company, in the case of a public announcement by Parent, or Parent, in the case of a public announcement by the Company Stockholders or the Company (such consents, in either case, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except: (i) if such announcement or other communication is required by Applicable Legal Requirements, in which case the disclosing Party shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements, first allow such other Parties to review such announcement or communication and have the opportunity to comment thereon and the disclosing Party shall consider such comments in good faith; (ii) in the case of the Company or the Company Stockholders, Parent and their respective Affiliates, if such announcement or other communication is made in connection with fundraising or other investment related activities and is made to such Person’s direct and indirect investors or potential investors or financing sources subject to an obligation of confidentiality; (iii) internal announcements to employees of the Group Companies; (iv) to the extent such announcements or other communications contain only information previously disclosed in a public statement, press release or other communication previously approved in accordance with Section 7.03 or this Section 7.04(b); (v) announcements and communications to Governmental Entities in connection with registrations, declarations and filings relating to the Transactions required to be made under this Agreement; and (vi) communications to customers and suppliers of the Group Companies for purposes of seeking any consents and approvals required in connection with the Transactions.

(c) The Company shall afford Parent and its financial advisors, accountants, counsel and other representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books, records and personnel of the Company during the period prior to the Closing to obtain all information concerning the business, including the status of business development efforts, properties, results of operations and personnel of the Company, as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted in a manner not to unreasonably interfere with the businesses or operations of the Company. Parent shall afford the Company and its financial advisors, underwriters, accountants, counsel and other representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books, records and personnel of Parent during the period prior to the Closing to obtain all information concerning the business, including properties, results of operations and personnel of Parent, as the Company may

56

reasonably request in connection with the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted in a manner not to unreasonably interfere with the businesses or operations of Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Parties shall not be required to take any action, provide any access or furnish any information that such Party in good faith reasonably believes would be reasonably likely to (i) cause or constitute a waiver of the attorney-client or other privilege or (ii) violate any Contract to which such Party is a party or bound; provided, that the Parties agree to cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to make alternative arrangements to allow for such access or furnishings in a manner that does not result in the events set out in clauses (i) and (ii) above.

Section 7.05 Reasonable Best Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Mergers and the other Transactions, including using reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the taking of all acts necessary to cause the conditions precedent set forth in Article VIII to be satisfied; (ii) the obtaining of all necessary actions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations, declarations and filings (including registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Entities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable best efforts as may be necessary to avoid any Legal Proceeding; (iii) the obtaining of all consents, approvals or waivers from third parties required as a result of the Transactions, including any other consents, approvals or waivers from third parties referred to on Section 4.05(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter; (iv) the termination of each agreement set forth on Section 7.05 of the Company Disclosure Letter; (v) the defending of any suits, claims, actions, investigations or proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed; and (vi) the execution or delivery of any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate, and to fully carry out the purposes of, the Transactions. This obligation shall include, on the part of Parent, sending a termination letter to the Trustee substantially in the applicable form attached to the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Termination Letter”).

Section 7.06 No Parent Securities Transactions. Neither the Company nor any of its controlled Affiliates, directly or indirectly, shall engage in any transactions involving the securities of Parent prior to the time of the making of a public announcement regarding all of the material terms of the business and operations of the Company and the Transactions. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to direct each of its directors, officers and employees to comply with the foregoing requirement.

Section 7.07 No Claim Against Trust Account. For and in consideration of Parent, Merger Sub and Merger Sub II entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind it has or may have in the future in or to the Trust Account and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with Parent; provided, that: (a) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against Parent pursuant to this Agreement for legal relief against monies or other assets of Parent held outside the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions (including a claim for Parent to specially perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Parent Stockholder Redemption) to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) or for intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties in Article V; and (b) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future pursuant to this Agreement against Parent’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account.

57

Section 7.08 Securities Listing. Parent will cause the shares of Parent Class A Stock issued in connection with the Transactions to be approved for listing on the NYSE at Closing. During the period from the Effective Date until the Closing, Parent shall keep the Parent Class A Stock and Public Warrants listed for trading on the NYSE.

Section 7.09 Trust Account. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII and provision of notice thereof to the Trustee (which notice Parent shall provide to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement): (a) in accordance with and pursuant to the Trust Agreement, at the Closing, Parent: (i) shall cause the documents, opinions and notices required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement to be so delivered, including providing the Trustee with the Trust Termination Letter; and (ii) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall thereupon be obligated to, distribute the Trust Account as directed in the Trust Termination Letter, including all amounts payable: (A) to stockholders who elect to have their Parent Common Stock converted to cash in accordance with the provisions of Parent’s Charter Documents; (B) for income tax or other tax obligations of Parent prior to Closing; (C) for any Parent Transaction Costs; and (D) as repayment of loans and reimbursement of expenses to directors, officers and stockholders of Parent, if any; and (b) thereafter, the Trust Account shall terminate, except as otherwise provided therein.

Section 7.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance.

(a) Parent agrees that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers, as the case may be, of Parent and any Group Company (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, a “D&O Indemnified Party”), as provided in their respective Charter Documents and Parent Organizational Documents or in any indemnification agreement with any Parent or Group Company set forth on Section 7.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Closing Date. For a period of six years from the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Group Companies to maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Parent Organizational Documents or any such Group Company’s Charter Documents as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date or in any indemnification agreements of the Parent or each Group Company with any D&O Indemnified Party as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date and made available to Parent prior to the Effective Date, and Parent shall, and shall cause the Group Companies to, not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Party for a period of six years from the Closing Date; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any Legal Proceedings pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Legal Proceeding or resolution of such claim. From and after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Group Companies to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 7.10.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Parent and the Company shall purchase a “tail” or “runoff” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “D&O Tail”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the First Effective Time covering each such Person that is a director or officer of Parent and a Group Company, as applicable, currently covered by a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of one or more of Parent and the Group Companies on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the Effective Date for the six-year period following the Closing. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Entity to, maintain the D&O Tail in full force and effect for its full term and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Group Companies, as applicable, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for such insurance pursuant to this Section 7.10(b).

58

(c) The rights of each D&O Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Person may have under the Parent Organizational Documents or Charter Documents of any Group Company, any other indemnification arrangement, any Legal Requirement or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Group Companies under this Section 7.10 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party without the consent of such D&O Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 7.10 shall survive the Closing and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 7.10.

(d) If Parent or, after the Closing, any Group Company, or any of their respective successors or assigns: (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or such Group Company, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.10.

Section 7.11 Tax Matters.

Parent shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and the Company and Parent shall reasonably cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(b) On the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with a certificate on behalf of the Company, prepared in a manner consistent and in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.897-2(g), (h) and 1.1445-2(c)(3), certifying that no interest in the Company is, or has been during the relevant period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code, a “U.S. real property interest” within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code, and a form of notice to the Internal Revenue Service prepared in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2); provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Parent’s sole remedy in the event the Company fails to deliver such certificate shall be to make a proper withholding of Tax to the extent required by Applicable Legal Requirements.

(c) All Tax sharing agreements or similar arrangements with respect to or involving any Group Company (other than any agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business, not primarily concerning Taxes or not imposing any obligations on the Group Companies, or the only parties to which are Group Companies) shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, none of the Group Companies shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder for amounts due in respect of periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and there shall be no continuing obligation after the Closing Date to make any payments under any such agreements or arrangements.

(d) If, in connection with the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement, the SEC requests or requires that a tax opinion be prepared and submitted in connection therewith with respect to (i) the qualification of the Mergers as a reorganization, then the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain such opinion from Latham & Watkins LLP or other advisors to the Company, subject to customary assumptions and limitations, as requested or required by the SEC with respect to such matters; and (ii) the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to holders of securities issued by Parent, then Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain such opinion from White & Case LLP or other advisors to Parent, subject to customary assumptions and limitations, as requested or required by the SEC with respect to such matters. The Parties will reasonably cooperate in connection with the provision of any opinions required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including in connection with the provision of customary factual representation letters.

Section 7.12 Subscription Agreements. Parent shall not permit any material amendment, modification or waiver of any material provision or waiver to be made to the Subscription Agreements (without the Company’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)). Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements on the terms and conditions described therein, including maintaining in effect the Subscription Agreements and using its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce its rights under the Subscription Agreements in the event that all of the conditions in the Subscription Agreements (other than conditions that Parent controls the satisfaction of and other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied, to cause the applicable PIPE Investors to contribute to (or as directed by) Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements at or prior to the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall give the Company prompt (and, in any event within three Business Days) written notice: (A) of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Subscription Agreement known to Parent; (B) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to any Subscription Agreement with respect to any actual, potential or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Subscription Agreement or any provisions of any Subscription Agreement; and (C) if Parent does not expect to receive all or any portion of the PIPE Investment Amount on the terms, in the manner or from the PIPE Investors contemplated by the Subscription Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) Parent can replace any PIPE Investor with any third party without the Company’s prior written consent (but with prior written notice to the Company), except to the extent that the Company reasonably and in good faith believes that such potential investor would cause reputational damage to the Company; or (ii) Parent may reduce, replace or waive any commitment under the Subscription Agreement without the Company’s prior written consent so long as the Minimum Required Funds are met.

Section 7.13 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall take all reasonable steps as may be required or permitted to cause any acquisition or disposition of the Parent Common Stock that occurs or is deemed to occur by reason of or pursuant to the Transactions by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Parent to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 7.14 Board of Directors. The Parties shall take all such action within their power as may be necessary or appropriate such that immediately following the First Effective Time the persons listed on Section 7.14 of the Company Disclosure Letter and the other persons identified by the applicable Party following the Effective Date are elected and appointed as directors of Parent effective immediately after the Closing; provided, that any such persons not listed on Section 7.14 of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be identified as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date.

Section 7.15 LTIP and ESPP. Effective as of (and contingent on) the Closing, Parent shall approve and, subject to approval of the stockholders, adopt (a) a LTIP, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (with such changes as may be agreed by Parent and the Company), and (b) an ESPP, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, (with such changes as may be agreed by Parent and the Company). Within five Business Days following the expiration of the 60 day period following the date Parent has filed current Form 10 information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company, Parent shall file an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or other applicable form) with respect to the Parent Class A Stock issuable under the LTIP and the ESPP, and Parent shall use reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement(s) (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as awards granted pursuant to the LTIP and the ESPP remain outstanding.

A Party may not rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, as the case may be, to be satisfied if such failure was due to the failure of such Party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.

65

(l) by Parent during the period beginning on the third Business Day following the Outside Date if (x) the Parent Stockholder Approval has been obtained and (y) the condition set forth in Section 8.02(g) is not satisfied or is no longer capable of being satisfied; provided, that, Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(l) unless all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 (other than Section 8.02(g)) are otherwise satisfied or would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at the time of such termination, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing; provided further, that if the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 8.01(d) and Section 8.01(f), is related to the failure of Section 8.02(g), the failure of such condition shall not prevent Parent from exercising its right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(l).

Section 9.02 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination.

(a) Any termination of this Agreement under Section 9.01 above will be effective immediately upon the delivery of written notice of the terminating Party to the other Parties.

(b) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.01, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and the Transactions shall be abandoned, except for and subject to the following: (i) Section 7.04, Section 7.07, this Section 9.02, Section 9.03, Article XI (General Provisions) and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement; and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for any Willful Breach of this Agreement or intentional fraud with the specific intent to deceive in the making of the representations and warranties in this Agreement. As used herein, the term “Willful Breach” means a deliberate act or a deliberate failure to act, which act or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement, with the actual knowledge that the taking of such action or failure to act would cause such breach.

Section 9.03 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (i) Section 9.01(k), the Company shall be obligated to pay Parent or its designee(s) a termination fee of $30,000,000 or (ii) Section 9.01(l), the Company shall be obligated to pay Parent or its designee(s) a termination fee of $17,000,000 (each, a “Termination Fee”) within two Business Days after termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(k) or Section 9.01(l), as applicable, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent in writing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud, if the Termination Fee is paid pursuant to Section 9.03(a), such payment shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, Representatives or assignees against the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, Representatives or assignees (together with the Company, collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

(c) Each of the Parties acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 9.03 are an integral part of the Transactions, (ii) without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement and (iii) the Termination Fee does not constitute a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Accordingly, if the Company fails to timely pay the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 9.03 and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences an action that results in a judgment against the Company for the payment of the Termination Fee set forth in this Section 9.03, the Company shall pay Parent its costs and expenses in connection with such an action (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither this Section 10.01 nor anything else in this Agreement to the contrary shall limit: (a) the survival of any covenant or agreement of the Parties which by its terms is required to be performed or complied with in whole or in part after the Closing, which covenants and agreements shall survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms; or (b) any claim against any Person with respect to intentional fraud with the specific intent to deceive in the making of the representations and warranties by such Person in Article IV or Article V, as applicable.

Section 11.03 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement, the Transaction Agreements and each other document executed in connection with the Transactions, and the consummation thereof, may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same document and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery by electronic transmission (including .pdf file) to counsel for the other Parties of a counterpart executed by a Party shall be deemed to meet the requirements of the previous sentence.

Section 11.04 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and any other documents and instruments and agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto: (a) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; and (b) other than the rights, at and after the First Effective Time, of Persons pursuant to the provisions of Article III, Section 7.10, Section 11.11, Section 11.12, Section 11.13 and Section 11.14 (which will be for the benefit of the Persons set forth therein and each of whom are intended express third party beneficiaries of such provisions), are not intended to confer upon any other Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies.

Section 11.05 Severability. In the event that any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Legal Requirement: (a) such provision will be fully severable; (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom; and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

Section 11.06 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, prior to the Closing, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction and immediate injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the Parties. Each of the Parties hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each Party hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by any other party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall be entitled to bring an action for specific enforcement to cause Parent to seek to enforce the provisions of the Subscription Agreements to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to such Subscription Agreements as if it were a party thereto.

Each Party and any Person asserting rights as a third-party beneficiary hereby agrees not to commence or prosecute any such action, claim, cause of action or suit other than before one of the above-named courts, nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action, claim, cause of action or suit to any court other than one of the above-named courts, whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise. Each Party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, and further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 11.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 11.08, any Party may commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.

(b) TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS, AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

Section 11.09 Rules of Construction. Each of the Parties agrees that it has been represented by independent counsel of its choice during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each Party hereto and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

Section 11.10 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the Transactions are consummated, each Party will pay its own costs and expenses incurred in anticipation of, relating to and in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that on the Amendment Date, the Company shall reimburse Parent $3,000,000 of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred to date (the “Expense Reimbursement”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Parent in writing.

Section 11.11 Assignment. No Party may assign, directly or indirectly, including by operation of law, either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 11.11, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 11.12 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.

Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right. In the event any provision of any of the other Transaction Agreement in any way conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement (except where a provision therein expressly provides that it is intended to take precedence over this Agreement), this Agreement shall control.

Section 11.14 No Recourse.

No Party shall have any right of recovery in respect hereof against any Related Party of a Party and no personal liability shall attach to any Related Party of a Party through such Party, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by virtue of any Legal Requirement or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 11.14 are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by the Related Parties of the Parties and each such Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 11.14. This Section 11.14 shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parties.

71

Section 11.15 Disclosure Letters and Exhibits. The Company Disclosure Letter and Parent Disclosure Letter shall each be arranged in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections in this Agreement, and the information disclosed in any numbered or lettered part shall be deemed to relate to and to qualify only the particular provision set forth in the corresponding numbered or lettered Section or subsection of this Agreement, except to the extent that: (a) such information is cross-referenced in another part of the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable; or (b) except in the case of Section 6.01 and Section 6.02, it is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure (without any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed) that such information qualifies another provision in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Company Disclosure Letter and Parent Disclosure Letter is not intended to imply that such amounts (or higher or lower amounts) are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item, or matter not described herein or included in Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. The inclusion of any item in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment by the Company or Parent, as applicable, that the matter is required to be disclosed by the terms of this Agreement, nor shall such disclosure be deemed (a) an admission of any breach or violation of any Contract or Legal Requirement; (b) an admission of any liability or obligation to any third party; or (c) to establish a standard of materiality. The disclosure of any items or information that is not required by this Agreement to be so included is solely for informational purposes and the convenience of Parent, Merger Sub and Merger Sub II or the Company, as applicable. In addition, under no circumstances shall the disclosure of any matter in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, where a representation or warranty of the Company or Parent, as applicable, is limited or qualified by the materiality of the matters to which the representation or warranty is given or by Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, imply that any other undisclosed matter having a greater value or other significance is material or would have a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable. Neither the Company nor Parent shall be prejudiced in any manner whatsoever, and no presumptions shall be created, by virtue of the disclosure of any matter in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable, which otherwise is not required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

Parent and the Company, on behalf of their respective successors and assigns (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Entity), further agree that, as to all legally privileged communications prior to the Closing (made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, any ancillary agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby) between or among Parent, the Sponsor and/or any other member of the InterPrivate Group, on the one hand, and W&C, on the other hand, the attorney/client privilege and the expectation of client confidence shall survive the Mergers and belong to the InterPrivate Group after the Closing, and shall not pass to or be claimed or controlled by the Surviving Entity.
