(a) On the Closing Date and immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of Company Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, shall automatically convert into a number of shares of Company Common Stock at the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to the Company Articles of Incorporation (the “Conversion”). After the Conversion, all of the shares of Company Preferred Stock outstanding, if any, shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Company Preferred Stock, if any, shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities.

(b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the SPAC, Merger Sub, the Company, or the holders of any securities in any of the foregoing:

(i) each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the Conversion) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Consideration, without interest;

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

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

Each Assumed Warrant shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, taking into account any changes thereto by reason of this Agreement or the Transactions. Accordingly, effective as of the Effective Time: (a) each Assumed Warrant shall be exercisable solely for shares of SPAC Common Stock; (b) the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock subject to each Assumed Warrant shall be equal to (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the applicable Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (2) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of SPAC Common Stock; and (c) the per share exercise price for the SPAC Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Warrant shall be equal to (x) the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the applicable Company Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent. The SPAC shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Assumed Warrants remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares of SPAC Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of such Assumed Warrants.

(d) Each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall be assumed and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock (such option, an “Exchanged Option”) equal to (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio (such product rounded down to the nearest whole share), at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (1) the exercise price per share of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Exchanged Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided, further, that in the case of any Exchanged Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Merger, the Transactions, or any related transactions.

(e) Each Company Note that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (if any) and by its terms will not convert into Company Common Stock in connection with the Transacions shall be assumed by the SPAC and remain outstanding pursuant to the terms and conditions then in effect.

Section 3.02  Exchange of Company Common Stock.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Closing Date, the SPAC shall cause to be transferred or deposited into a balance account (or the applicable equivalent), with an exchange agent designated by the SPAC in consultation with the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of the Company Common Stock (including shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the conversion of Company Preferred Stock described in Section 3.01(a)), for exchange in accordance with this Article III, the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Per Share Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement (such shares of SPAC Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Error! Reference source not found., being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The SPAC shall cause the Exchange Agent, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, to pay the Per Share Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement.

(ii) The SPAC and the Securityholder Representative shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Agent to issue to the holders of Company Common Stock, all of whom are represented solely by book entry, the applicable Per Share Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, without such holder being required to deliver a certificate evidencing ownership of Company Common Stock to the Exchange Agent.

(c) No Further Rights in Company Common Stock. The Per Share Consideration payable upon conversion of the Company Common Stock (including shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the conversion of Company Preferred Stock described in Section 3.01(a)) shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock.

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

(f) No Liability.

To the extent that amounts are deducted or withheld consistent with this Section 3.02(g) and paid to the applicable Governmental Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid, issued or transferred to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made; provided, however, that prior to any payments required to be made hereunder, any of the SPAC, Merger Sub and the Surviving Subsidiary Corporation and their respective affiliates and agents or their designees shall, to the extent practicable, (i) notify the Securityholder Representative of anticipated withholding from the amounts payable hereunder, (ii) consult with the Securityholder Representative in good faith to determine whether such deduction and withholding is required under applicable Law, and (iii) cooperate with the Securityholder Representative in good faith to minimize the amount of any applicable withholding in each case.

(h) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip or shares representing fractional shares of SPAC Common Stock shall be issued upon the exchange of Company Common Stock and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights of a stockholder of the SPAC or a holder of shares of SPAC Common Stock. In lieu of any fractional share of SPAC Common Stock to which any holder of Company Common Stock would otherwise be entitled in connection with the payment of the Per Share Consideration, the Exchange Agent shall round up or down to the nearest whole share of SPAC Common Stock. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding.

(b) The SPAC shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Securityholder Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any shareholder of the Company or any holder of Company Options, Company Notes or Company Warrants by Securityholder Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any such person by Securityholder Representative, as being fully binding upon such person. Notices or communications to or from Securityholder Representative shall constitute notice to or from each shareholder of the Company or each holder of Company Options, Company Notes or Company Warrants. Any decision or action by the Securityholder Representative hereunder, including any agreement between the Securityholder Representative and the SPAC relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims for indemnification hereunder, shall constitute a decision or action of all shareholders of the Company and all holders of Company Options, Company Notes or Company Warrants and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such person. All decisions and actions by the Securityholder Representative (to the extent authorized by this Agreement) shall be binding upon all such persons, and no shareholder of the Company or holder of Company Options, Company Notes or Company Warrants shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The provisions of this Section 7.06, including the power of attorney granted hereby, are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest, are being granted in part as an inducement to the parties hereto to enter into this Agreement, and shall not be terminated by any act of any shareholder of the Company or any holder of Company Options, Company Notes or Company Warrants, or by operation of Law, whether by death or other event.

(c) In the event the Securityholder Representative becomes unable to perform its responsibilities hereunder or resigns from such position, the shareholders of the Company (acting by the vote of a majority of the equity interests then-outstanding in the Company) shall select another representative reasonably satisfactory to the SPAC to fill the vacancy of the Securityholder Representative, and, from the date that notice is given to the SPAC and the Partnership of the filling of such vacancy, such substituted representative shall be deemed to be the Securityholder Representative for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(d) (A) The SPAC shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon the communications and actions or omissions of the Securityholder Representative relating to the foregoing as the communications and actions or omissions of the shareholders of the Company and the holder of Company Options, Company Notes and Company Warrants; (B) no such person shall institute any Action against the SPAC or its affiliates alleging that the Securityholder Representative did not have the authority to act as the Securityholder Representative on their behalf; and (C) the SPAC shall not be held liable or accountable in any manner for any act or omission of the Securityholder Representative in such capacity.

Section 7.07 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a) The A&R Company Organizational Documents shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, exculpation, advancement or expense reimbursement than are set forth in the Company Articles of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Company, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company (the “D&O Indemnitees”), unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, the SPAC shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted under applicable Law, or the Company Articles of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Company (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law).

(b) The A&R Company Organizational Documents shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, exculpation, advancement or expense reimbursement than are set forth as of the date hereof in the Organizational Documents of the SPAC and Merger Sub, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the SPAC (the “SPAC D&O Indemnitees”), unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law. The parties hereto further agree that with respect to the provisions of the SPAC Organizational Documents as of the date hereof relating to indemnification, exculpation, advancement or expense reimbursement to SPAC D&O Indemnitees, such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of the SPAC D&O Indemnitees, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, the SPAC shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the SPAC against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the SPAC would have been permitted under applicable Law, the SPAC Organizational Documents, the Organizational Documents of Merger Sub, or any indemnification agreement in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify or exculpate such person (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law).

(c) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the SPAC shall maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) covering those persons who are (i) currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy and (ii) at or after the Closing Date on the board of directors of the SPAC (true, correct and complete copies of which have been heretofore made available to the SPAC or its agents or Representatives) (the “Company D&O Insurance”) on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the SPAC may purchase a prepaid “tail” policy (a “SPAC Tail Policy”) with respect to the D&O Insurance covering those persons who are currently covered by the SPAC’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (the “SPAC D&O Insurance”). If the SPAC elects to purchase such SPAC Tail Policy prior to the Effective Time, the SPAC will maintain such SPAC Tail Policy in full force and effect for a period of no less than six years after the Effective Time and continue to honor the SPAC’s obligations thereunder.

(e) With respect to any claims that may be made under the Company D&O Insurance or the SPAC D&O Insurance or any applicable “tail” policies, (i) prior to the Effective Time, the SPAC and the Company shall cooperate with the other party as reasonably requested by such other party, and (ii) after the Effective Time, the SPAC shall cooperate with any person insured by such policies as reasonably requested by such person. For the avoidance of doubt, any D&O Insurance intended to cover claims arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring after the Effective Time shall be an expense of the SPAC following the Closing.

(f) The provisions of this Section 7.07 (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnitee and each SPAC D&O Indemnitee, in each case, who is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 7.07; and (ii) are in addition to any rights such D&O Indemnitees or SPAC D&O Indemnitees may have under the SPAC Organizational Documents or under any applicable contracts or Laws and not intended to, nor shall be construed or shall release or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the SPAC or its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees (it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.07 is not prior to or in substitution of any such claims under such policies).

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 7.07 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on the SPAC and all successors and assigns of the SPAC. In the event that the SPAC or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in either such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the SPAC shall assume, at and as of the closing of the applicable transaction referred to in this Section 7.07(g) all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.07.

(h) On the Closing Date, the SPAC shall enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to each of the Company and the SPAC with the directors and officers of the SPAC following the Closing, which indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective following the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification agreements with the directors and officers of the SPAC prior to the Closing in effect as of the date hereof and listed in Section 7.07(h) of the SPAC Disclosure Schedule shall continue to be effective following the Closing, and the SPAC shall continue to honor the SPAC’s obligations thereunder.

(i) After the Effective Time, the SPAC shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with a carrier and in an amount determined in good faith as necessary or desirable.

Section 7.08 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to the SPAC, and the SPAC shall give prompt notice to the Company, of any event which a party becomes aware of between the date of this Agreement and the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX), the occurrence, or non-occurrence of which causes or would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII to fail.

In case, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of each party shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all such action.

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

(c) Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the SPAC shall use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Private Placement in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, including using its reasonable best efforts to enforce its rights under the Securities Purchase Agreement to cause the Private Placement Investors to pay to (or as directed by) the SPAC the applicable purchase price under each Private Placement Investor’s applicable Securities Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the SPAC in such efforts. The SPAC shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), permit or consent to any amendment, supplement or modification to or any waiver (in whole or in part) of any provision or remedy under, or any replacements of, the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(d) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall have (i) delivered to the SPAC copies of notices sent to third parties set forth in Section 7.09(d)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, in each case in a form reasonably acceptable to the SPAC and (ii) obtained any required consents, approvals, and waivers to the Merger of the third parties set forth in Section 7.09(d)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

Section 7.10 Public Announcements. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release the text of which has been agreed to by each of the SPAC and the Company. Thereafter, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX) unless otherwise prohibited by applicable Law or the requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, each of the SPAC and the Company shall each use its reasonable best efforts to consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements (including through social media platforms) with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement (including through social media platforms) without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that no party shall be required to obtain consent pursuant to this Section 7.10 to the extent any proposed release or statement is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section 7.10. Furthermore, nothing contained in this Section 7.10 shall prevent the SPAC or the Company and/or its respective affiliates or Representatives from furnishing customary or other reasonable information concerning the Transactions to their investors and prospective investors that is substantively consistent with public statements previously consented to by the other party in accordance with this Section 7.10.

Section 7.11 Stock Exchange Listing. Each of the SPAC and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the SPAC Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Transactions (including the Merger Shares and the Private Placement) to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the Closing.

(a) To the extent required under any Laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade, including the HSR Act (“Antitrust Laws”), each party hereto agrees to promptly make any required filing or application under Antitrust Laws, as applicable, and with respect to the HSR Act make any required filings no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement. The parties hereto agree to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to Antitrust Laws and to take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods or to obtain required approvals, as applicable under Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable, including by requesting early termination of the waiting period provided for under the HSR Act.

(b) The SPAC and the Company each shall, in connection with its efforts to obtain all requisite approvals and expiration or termination of waiting periods for the Transactions under any Antitrust Law, use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) cooperate in all respects with each other party or its affiliates and Representatives in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any Action initiated by a private person; (ii) keep the other reasonably informed of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, any Governmental Authority and of any communication received or given in connection with any Action by a private person, in each case regarding any of the Transactions, and promptly furnish the other with copies of all such written communications (with the exception of the filings, if any, submitted under the HSR Act); (iii) permit the other to review in advance any written communication to be given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or video or telephonic conference with, any Governmental Authority or, in connection with any Action by a private person, with any other person, and to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority or other person, give the other the opportunity to attend and participate in such in person, video or telephonic meetings and conferences; (iv) in the event a party is prohibited from participating in or attending any in person, video or telephonic meetings or conferences, the other shall keep such party promptly and reasonably apprised with respect thereto; and (v) use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in the filing of any memoranda, white papers, filings, correspondence or other written communications explaining or defending the Transactions, articulating any regulatory or competitive argument, and/or responding to requests or objections made by any Governmental Authority; provided, that materials required to be provided pursuant to this Section 7.12(b) may be restricted to outside counsel and may be redacted (vi) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, and (vii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements.

(c) No party hereto shall take any action that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect or materially delay the approval of any Governmental Authority, or the expiration or termination of any waiting period under Antitrust Laws, including by agreeing to merge with or acquire any other person or acquire a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any other person. The parties hereto further covenant and agree, with respect to a threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling or statute, rule, regulation or executive order that would adversely affect the ability of the parties to consummate the Transactions, to use reasonable best efforts to prevent or lift the entry, enactment or promulgation thereof, as the case may be.

Section 7.13 Trust Account. As of the Effective Time, the obligations of the SPAC to dissolve or liquidate within a specified time period as contained in the SPAC Certificate of Incorporation will be terminated and the SPAC shall have no obligation whatsoever to dissolve and liquidate the assets of the SPAC by reason of the consummation of the Merger or otherwise, and no shareholder of the SPAC shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account. As soon as commercially practicable and reasonable prior to the Effective Time, the SPAC shall provide notice to the Trustee in accordance with the Trust Agreement and shall deliver any other documents, opinions or notices required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement and cause the Trustee prior to the Effective Time to, and the Trustee shall thereupon be obligated to, transfer all funds held in the Trust Account to the SPAC (to be held as available cash for immediate use on the balance sheet of the SPAC, and to be used (a) to pay unpaid Company Transaction Expenses and unpaid SPAC Transaction Expenses and (b) thereafter, for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the business following the Closing) and thereafter shall cause the Trust Account and the Trust Agreement to terminate.

Section 7.14 Tax Matters.

(a) This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). Each of the SPAC, Merger Sub, and the Company shall (i) use its respective reasonable best efforts to: (A) cause the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code to which the SPAC, Merger Sub and the Company are parties within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, and (B) not (and not permit or cause any of their affiliates, Subsidiaries or Representatives to) take any action which to its knowledge could reasonably be expected to materially prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code as described above, and (ii) report the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code as described above unless otherwise required by Law or pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, including attaching the statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3(a) on or with its Tax Return for the taxable year of the Merger. Each of the SPAC and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to reasonably cooperate with one another and their respective Tax advisors in connection with the issuance to the SPAC or the Company of advice or an opinion relating to the Tax consequences of the Transactions, including using reasonable best efforts to deliver to the relevant Tax advisor a certificate (dated as of the necessary date and signed by an officer of the SPAC or the Company, or their respective affiliates, as applicable) containing such customary representations as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes. To the extent any Company Warrants will be repurchased or otherwise settled in cash in connection with the Transactions (or immediately prior to the Transactions), the SPAC and the Company agree that the cash consideration for such settlement shall be furnished by solely the Company (and not by the SPAC or Merger Sub), and the Company and the SPAC will cooperate to document such arrangement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, after the date hereof but prior to receipt of the approval of the Required SPAC Proposals, the Company and the SPAC mutually determine (acting reasonably and in good faith) that the Merger is not expected to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the parties to this Agreement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to restructure the transactions contemplated hereby (such restructured transactions, the “Alternative Transaction Structure”) in a manner that is reasonably expected to cause the Alternative Transaction Structure to so qualify or, where such may not be possible, to minimize the aggregate amount of gain recognized for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as a result of the Merger, including, with respect to the Merger, by adding a merger to take place immediately after the Merger whereby the Surviving Subsidiary Corporation in the Merger would merge with and into another wholly owned Subsidiary of the SPAC that is a limited liability company disregarded as separate from the SPAC for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, with the new wholly owned Subsidiary of the SPAC being the surviving company in such merger.

(b) The SPAC and Merger Sub will cause the Company to continue the Company’s historic business or use a significant portion of the Company’s historic business assets in a business within the meaning of Section 1.368-1(d) of the Treasury Regulations, assuming that the assets of, and the business conducted by, the Company on the Closing Date constitute the Company’s historic business assets and historic business, respectively.

(c) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, real property transfer, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes, fees and costs incurred in connection with this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by the SPAC and shall be deemed to be SPAC Transaction Expenses for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) At least five (5) days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the SPAC, in a form reasonably acceptable to the SPAC, a properly executed certification that shares of Company Common Stock are not “United States real property interests” within the meaning of Section 897(C) of the Code in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(c)(3), together with a notice to the IRS (which shall be filed by the SPAC with the IRS at or following the Closing) in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.897-2(h)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. In no way will any failure to deliver the certifications described in this Section 7.14(d) give rise to any failure of the conditions to Closing described in Article VIII.

Section 7.15 Directors. The Company and the SPAC shall take all necessary action so that immediately after the Effective Time, the board of directors of the SPAC immediately after the Effective Time is comprised of seven directors, which shall initially include (a) six director nominees designated by the Company or the Securityholder Representative (provided that no less than four of such directors shall be “independent” within the meaning of applicable listing rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market) and (b) one director nominee designated by the SPAC, each to hold office in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL and the A&R Company Organizational Documents and until their respective successors are, duly elected or appointed and qualified.

Section 7.16 SPAC Public Filings. From the date hereof through the Closing, the SPAC will keep current and timely file all reports required to be filed or furnished with the SEC and otherwise comply in all material respects with its reporting obligations under applicable Laws.

Section 7.17 Litigation.

(a) In the event that any litigation related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby is brought, or, to the knowledge of the SPAC, threatened in writing, against the SPAC or the SPAC Board by any of the SPAC’s shareholders prior to the Closing, the SPAC shall promptly notify the Company of any such litigation and keep the Company reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. The SPAC shall provide the Company the opportunity to participate in (subject to a customary joint defense agreement), but not control, the defense of any such litigation, shall give due consideration to the Company’s advice with respect to such litigation and shall not settle or agree to settle any such litigation without the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) With respect to (i) any Action disclosed in Section 4.09 of the Company Disclosure Schedule or (ii) any Action brought after the date of this Agreement that would have been required to be disclosed in Section 4.09 of the Company Disclosure Schedule had such Action been brought prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, (x) to the extent not already disclosed in Section 4.09 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, promptly notify the SPAC of any such Action and (y) keep the SPAC reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such Action and provide the SPAC with all material correspondence, pleadings and updates regarding such Action. The Company shall consult with the SPAC regarding the defense of any such Action (including regarding the choice of any counsel to defend such Action to the extent counsel has not already been engaged with respect to such Action prior to the date of this Agreement), shall give due consideration to the SPAC’s advice with respect to such Action and shall not settle or agree to settle any such Action without the prior written consent of the SPAC, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(f) by the SPAC upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company or the Securityholder Representative, in each case as set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.02(i) would not be satisfied (“Terminating Company Breach”); provided, that the SPAC has not waived such Terminating Company Breach and the SPAC and Merger Sub are not then in material breach of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement; provided, further, that, if such Terminating Company Breach is curable by the Company, the SPAC may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(f) for so long as the Company continues to exercise its reasonable best efforts to cure such breach, unless such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice of such breach is provided by the SPAC to the Company; or
