(c) Each share of SKNY Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 2.1.0 shall no longer be outstanding and shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and the holders of certificates (“Certificates”) which, immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such shares of SKNY Common Stock, shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares other than the right to receive, upon surrender of such Certificates for Company Common Stock calculated in accordance with the Exchange Ratio.
2.1.1 No Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Company Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares will be issued. All fractional share amounts shall be rounded down to the nearest whole based on the total number of shares of Company Common Stock to be issued to the holder of shares of SKNY Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of Company Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional Company Common Stock issuable to such holder).

2.3 Full Discharge. All shares of Company Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of shares of SKNY Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to cancelled shares of SKNY Common Stock.

2.4 No Liability. The rights of a holder of SKNY Common Stock to receive Company Common Stock upon surrender of the shares of SKNY Common Stock shall expire on the 18-month anniversary of the Closing. Company shall not be liable to any holder of shares of SKNY Common Stock for any shares of Company Common Stock (or dividends or distributions, if any, with respect thereto) properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar Applicable Law.

Accordingly, each Party hereby consents to the issuance of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of such Party’s obligations and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security or proving irreparable harm and without regard to the adequacy of any remedy at Applicable Law. A Party’s right to specific performance and injunctive relief shall be in addition to all other legal or equitable remedies available to such Party.
8.11 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, Exhibit, or Schedule, such reference shall be to a Section, Exhibit or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The terms, “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word, “or” shall be inclusive and not exclusive. The information contained in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule, SKNY Disclosure Schedule, and any other Schedules or the Exhibits hereto are disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any Party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law or breach of Contract). Time is of the essence for each and every provision of this Agreement. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded. If the last day of such period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day. Any Consent to be provided by a Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed effective for all purposes of this Agreement if such Consent is provided via email.

8.12 Disclosure Schedules.
8.12.0 Each of Company and SKNY have set forth certain information in their respective Disclosure Schedules in a section thereof that corresponds to the Section or portion of a Section of this Agreement to which it relates. A matter set forth in one section of a Disclosure Schedule need not be set forth in any other section of such Disclosure Schedule so long as its relevance to such other section of such Disclosure Schedule or Section of this Agreement is reasonably apparent on the face of the text of such disclosure in such Disclosure Schedule or such matter is specifically cross-referenced. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provision of monetary or other quantitative thresholds for disclosure on a Disclosure Schedule does not and shall not be deemed to be an admission or materiality or create or imply a standard of materiality hereunder.
8.12.1 A Disclosure Schedule of the Company or of SKNY and the information and disclosures contained therein are intended only to qualify and limit the representations, warranties, and covenants of the subject Party of such Disclosure Schedule, as are contained in this Agreement. Matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in such Disclosure Schedule.. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature.
8.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties to this Agreement and delivered to the other Parties hereto. Any such counterpart delivered as a .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment by electronic mail or by electronic signature delivered by electronic transmission (any such delivery, “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party hereto shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a counterpart or signature, or the fact that any counterpart or signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery, as a defence to the formation of a contract, and each Party hereto forever waives any such defence, except to the extent such defence relates to lack of authenticity.

Schedule A to Agreement and Plan of Merger
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of common stock of SKNY, $0.0001 par value per share (“SKNY Common Stock”), will be converted into the right to receive such number of shares of common stock of MIRA, $0.0001 par value per share (“MIRA Common Stock”) as is calculated in to the Exchange Ratio (the “Closing”). The Exchange Ratio is calculated using the relative company valuations of each of MIRA and SKNY where the MIRA share value is calculated on an as-issued basis and the SKNY share value is calculated on a fully diluted basis to include all issued SKNY options and warrants. After giving effect to the Closing, the SKNY holders will hold not more than 50% of the shares of the combined company.
