At the Effective Time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and shall become a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of Purchaser. The Company, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”.

The date upon which the Closing actually occurs shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

1.4 Effective Time. At the Closing, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause a certificate and plan of merger to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law (the “Certificate of Merger”), and the Merger shall become effective upon the time of acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of such filing or such later time as may be agreed to by Purchaser and the Company in writing (and set forth in the Certificate of Merger). The date and time when the Merger shall become effective is referred to herein as the “Effective Time”.

1.5 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such certificate of incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Article I of the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “The name of the corporation is CFO Silvia, Inc”. At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be identical to the bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws.

1.7 Directors and Officers.

(a) Directors of Surviving Corporation. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time, each to hold the office of a director of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the provisions of Delaware Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

(b) Officers of Surviving Corporation. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time, each to hold such office of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the provisions of Delaware Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

1.8 Effect on Company Capital Stock and SAFEs.

(a) Company Common Stock. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of any holder of Company Common Stock or any other Person, at the Effective Time each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and Treasury Shares) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.9, (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration, (ii) the Per Share Earnout Consideration, if any, and (iii) the Per Share Escrow Consideration, if any.

(b) Company Preferred Stock. As of the date of this Agreement and as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, there are and there shall be no shares of Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Accordingly, no shares of Company Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into the right to receive any consideration in the Merger, and any shares of Company Preferred Stock that may be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, shall be canceled at the Effective Time without any conversion thereof and without any payment or other consideration therefor.

(c) SAFEs. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Company or any SAFE Holder, each SAFE outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be terminated and each SAFE Holder will automatically be entitled to receive a portion of (i) the Total Merger Consideration, and (ii) the Earnout Shares, if any, in each case, as set forth opposite such SAFE Holder’s name on the Spreadsheet and payable in accordance with the terms set forth herein.

(d) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of any holder of any shares of capital stock of Purchaser, Merger Sub or the Company, be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Company Common Stock (and the shares of the Company into which the shares of Merger Sub capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Company’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time). The certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub capital stock will evidence ownership of such share of Company Common Stock.

(e) Treasury Shares. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Capital Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock (“Treasury Shares”) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no cash, stock or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(f) Transfer Restrictions. The shares of Purchaser Capital Stock to which the Equityholders are entitled to receive in the Merger shall be subject to certain transfer and other restrictions (including certain lock-up restrictions), terms and conditions.

(g) Calculation of Consideration. For purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of shares of Purchaser Capital Stock issuable at any particular time pursuant to this Section 1.8, the aggregate number of shares of Purchaser Capital Stock to be issued to such Person in respect of a certificate or SAFE at such time shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(h) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration provided for in Section 1.8(a), but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Dissenting Shares pursuant to Delaware Law. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of Delaware Law, becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with Delaware Law (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be converted into the right to receive the consideration payable pursuant to this Section 1.8 in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and Purchaser shall pay and deliver (or cause to be paid and delivered) to the holder thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 1.9, following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1.9, the number of shares of Purchaser Capital Stock to which such holder would be entitled in respect thereof under this Section 1.8 as if such shares of Company Common Stock never had been Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Purchaser prompt notice of any demands for appraisal or purchase received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company, and Purchaser shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal or purchase under Delaware Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Purchaser, or as otherwise required under Delaware Law, voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation, or the Company (i) makes any payment or payments in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the value of all the shares of Purchaser Capital Stock that otherwise would have been owed in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) incurs any losses (including reasonable attorneys’ and reasonable consultants’ fees, costs and expenses and including such reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending against or settling any action or proceeding) in respect of any Dissenting Shares (excluding payments for such shares) ((i) and (ii) together, the “Dissenting Share Payments”), Purchaser shall be entitled to recover the amount of such Dissenting Share Payments from the Sellers.

(i) Escrow. At the Effective Time, nine hundred thousand (900,000) shares of Purchaser Capital Stock shall be withheld from the Total Merger Consideration otherwise payable to the Equityholders pursuant to this Section 1.8 (the “Escrow Shares”) and shall be deposited into an account (the “Escrow Account”), which Escrow Shares shall serve exclusively as security for, and be available to Purchaser, solely to pay amounts owed to Purchaser pursuant to Article VIII, for a period of twelve (12) months until released and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

1.9 Exchange Procedures.

(a) No Further Ownership Rights in the Company Securities. All consideration paid or payable following the surrender for exchange of Company Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be so paid or payable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Securities. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Company of shares of Company Capital Stock which were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Purchaser shall deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser (a “Lost Stock Affidavit”), such consideration, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof in respect thereof.

(c) No Liability. None of Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Equityholder for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirement.

(d) Legends. Each certificate or book-entry security entitlement representing any shares of Purchaser Capital Stock (or any other securities issued in respect of such shares upon any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or similar event) issued to or held by any Equityholder in accordance with the terms hereof shall bear the following legend (in addition to any other legends required by any Legal Requirement, the Purchaser Restated Certificate, Purchaser’s bylaws or any other agreement to which such Equityholder is a party):

THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR SUCH OTHER APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENT.

1.10 Withholding Rights. Purchaser, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, and any Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any provision of any Tax law or under any Legal Requirements. Prior to the Closing Date and prior to the issuance of the Earnout Shares, Purchaser shall provide the Stockholder Representative with written notice of any proposed withholding pursuant to this Section 1.10 and will reasonably cooperate with the applicable Company Stockholders subject to such proposed withholding to mitigate such withholding to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

1.11 Earnout Shares.

(a) Earnout Shares. If, during the Earnout Period, the Purchaser Trading Price equals or exceeds nine dollars ($9.00) (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Purchaser Capital Stock) (such date, the “Earnout Target Date”), within ten (10) Business Days following the Earnout Target Date (such date, the “Earnout Release Date”), Purchaser shall issue or cause to be issued to the Equityholders the Earnout Shares as set forth in the Spreadsheet; provided, that Purchaser shall only cause the Earnout Shares to be delivered to Noor in accordance with this Section 1.11 if (i) Noor remains employed by the Company or its Affiliates on the Earnout Release Date and (x) has not provided notice of resignation as of such date and (y) has not taken any action or failed to take any action that gives rise to the ability of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate Noor for cause or (ii) Noor’s employment with the Company or its Affiliates is terminated by the Company or its Affiliates without cause.

(b) Termination of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.11 to the contrary, (i) Purchaser’s obligation under this Section 1.11 (including any obligation to issue the Earnout Shares) shall terminate on the earlier of (x) the issuance of the Earnout Shares on the Earnout Release Date, and (y) expiration of the Earnout Period, and (ii) the Equityholders shall only be entitled to receive the Earnout Shares one time.

Subject to such exceptions as are specifically set forth in the appropriate section, subsection or subclause of the disclosure schedule supplied to Purchaser on the Agreement Date (the “Disclosure Schedule”) or in any other section, subsection or subclause of the Disclosure Schedule solely if and to the extent that it is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure that it applies to such other section, subsection or subclause of this Article II without reference to the documents referenced therein, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser and Merger Sub, as of the Agreement Date and as of the Closing Date, as though made at the Closing Date, the following:

2.1 Organization and Good Standing.

(a) The Company is duly incorporated and organized, and is validly existing in good standing, under the Legal Requirements of the State of Delaware. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its material assets and properties and to carry on its business as currently conducted. The Company is duly qualified or licensed to do business, and is in good standing, to the extent such concept is applicable, in each jurisdiction in which the character or location of its assets or properties (whether owned, leased or licensed) or the nature of its business make such qualification or license necessary to the Company’s business as currently conducted, except where the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made available a true and correct copy of its certificate of incorporation, as amended to date (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and of its bylaws, as amended to date, each in full force and effect on the Agreement Date (collectively, as amended to date, the “Company Charter Documents”).

2.2 Authority and Enforceability. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and the Company Related Agreements to which it is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The entry into and execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Company Related Agreements to which the Company is a party, the performance of the obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and no further action is required on the part of the Company to authorize the Agreement and the Company Related Agreements to which the Company is a party and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, subject only to receipt of the Required Stockholder Approval. Aside from the Purchaser Stockholder Approval being required from Purchaser, the Required Stockholder Approval is the only vote or consent of the Equityholders required to adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated hereby and by the Company Related Agreements to which the Company is a party under applicable Legal Requirements, the Company Charter Documents and any other Contract to which the Company is a party. The Company Board has (a) unanimously resolved that the Merger is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (b) unanimously approved this Agreement and the Merger, (c) directed that the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger be submitted to the Company Stockholders for consideration, and (d) unanimously recommended that all of the Company Stockholders adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger and the transaction contemplated herein and not exercise their dissenters’ or appraisal rights under the applicable provisions of Delaware Law in connection with the Merger. This Agreement and each Company Related Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject only to the effect, if any, of (i) applicable bankruptcy and other similar Legal Requirements affecting the rights of creditors generally and (ii) Legal Requirements governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

2.3 Governmental Approvals and Consents. Except for the filing of the Certificate of Merger, no Permit, notice, waiver, approval, declaration, Order or authorization of, or filing with, any Governmental Entity (“Governmental Approval”), other than required filings under the HSR Act, is required by, or with respect to, the Company in connection with the entry into, execution or delivery of this Agreement or any Company Related Agreement to which the Company is a party, the performance of its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the consummation of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any Company Related Agreement to which the Company is a party.

2.4 No Conflicts. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the Company Related Agreements to which the Company is a party, the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Company Related Agreements to which the Company is a party, does not and will not conflict with or result in any violation of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) or give rise to a payment obligation, consent, waiver, approval, termination, cancellation, modification, or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit (or any right with respect to the foregoing) (any such event, a “Conflict”) under (a) any provision of the Company Charter Documents, as amended, (b) any Contract to which the Company is a party, or (c) any Legal Requirement applicable to the Company.

2.5 Company Capital Structure.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists solely of 12,000,000 shares, consisting of 10,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, of which 8,060,000 shares are issued and outstanding as of the Agreement Date, and 2,000,000 shares of Company Preferred Stock, none of which are issued and outstanding as of the Agreement Date.

Each SAFE was duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and is a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject only to the effect, if any, of (x) applicable bankruptcy and other similar Legal Requirements affecting the rights of creditors generally and (y) Legal Requirements governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. The offer, sale, and issuance of each SAFE complied in all material respects with applicable federal and state securities Legal Requirements and the organizational documents of the Company. All required notices, filings, and fees in connection with the issuance of the SAFEs have been made or paid on a timely basis to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, and all exemptions from registration were properly available and satisfied.

Except as set forth on Section 2.6 of the Disclosure Schedule, there is no Action pending, or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, against the Company, or any of its properties or assets (tangible or intangible). There is no Action by the Company currently pending.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the foregoing limitations in this Section 8.3 shall not apply in the case of Fraud. In the event of any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the Sellers arising from or relating to Fraud, such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue in full force and effect without any time, economic, procedural or any other limitation.

8.4 Indemnification Claim Process for Third Party Claims.

(a) If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion of any claim for Losses or the commencement of any Actions by a third party with respect to a matter subject to indemnity hereunder (a “Claim”), notice thereof (a “Third Party Claim Notice”) shall promptly be given to the Stockholder Representative. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give timely notice hereunder shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Stockholder Representative forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such delay or failure, and the amount of reimbursement to which the Indemnified Party is entitled shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Indemnified Party’s Losses would have been less had such Third Party Claim Notice been timely delivered. After receipt of a Third Party Claim Notice, if (x) the Stockholder Representative produces a notice of election within fifteen (15) days of receiving the Third Party Claim Notice, and (y) acknowledges in writing that it would be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all Losses in connection with such Third Party Claim Notice, Stockholder Representative shall have the right, but not the obligation to (i) take control of the defense and investigation of such Claim, (ii) employ and engage attorneys of its, his or her own choice (subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to handle and defend the same, at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, and (iii) compromise or settle such Claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, that such consent will not be required if such settlement (x) includes an irrevocable and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, (y) provides solely for payment of monetary damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified in full and (z) does not require or involve any admission of wrong doing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative will not have the right to assume the defense of a Claim if (1) the Stockholder Representative fails to actively and diligently conduct the defense of the Claim (after notice of such failure from the Indemnified Party), (2) the Indemnified Party has received written advice from outside counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Stockholder Representative in connection with the defense of such Claim, (3) such Claim seeks a finding or admission of a violation of any criminal Law by the Indemnified Party or includes potential regulatory or tax matters, (4) such Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable remedies in respect of an Indemnified Party or its business, (5) such Claim relates to a material customer or material supplier or other significant relationship of the Indemnified Party, or (6) such Claim is reasonably likely to result in Losses that, taken with any other then existing claims under this Article VIII, would not be not be fully indemnified hereunder or the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the Stockholder Representative does not have sufficient resources to satisfy its indemnity obligations or collecting on such obligations in full would be unlikely or impose a significant burden on the Indemnified Party.

(b) In the event that the Stockholder Representative defends the Indemnified Party against a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects, at the Stockholder Representative’s request, with the Stockholder Representative and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom, including, if appropriate and related to such Claim, in making any counterclaim against the third party claimant, or any cross complaint against any Person, in each case, at the expense of the Stockholder Representative. The Indemnified Party may, at its own sole cost and expense, monitor and further participate in (but not control) the investigation, trial and defense of such Claim and any appeal arising therefrom.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Stockholder Representative does not assume such defense and investigation or does not acknowledge in writing within a reasonable period, but no later than fifteen (15) days, after receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any Losses arising from such Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel of its choosing, defend such Claim and have the sole power to direct and control such defense (all at the cost and expense of the Stockholder Representative if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder); it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for a Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Claim. If the Stockholder Representative does not have the right to control the defense of a Claim or otherwise does not retain control of the defense of any such Claim pursuant to this Section 8.4, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control the defense of such Claim. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, whether or not the Stockholder Representative shall have assumed the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or pay such Claim for which it seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) The Indemnified Party and the Stockholder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.

8.5 Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. If a Claim is to be made by any Indemnified Party that does not involve a third party, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a “Direct Claim Notice”) to the Stockholder Representative. If the Stockholder Representative notifies the Indemnified Party that they do not dispute the claim described in such Direct Claim Notice within thirty (30) days following receipt of such Direct Claim Notice, the Losses identified in the Direct Claim Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Stockholder Representative under Section 8.2. If the Stockholder Representative rejects such claim or fails to respond during such thirty (30) day period (in which case the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have rejected such claim), then the Indemnified Party and the Stockholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days to resolve such matter. If the Indemnified Party and the Stockholder Representative cannot resolve the dispute during such thirty (30) day period they shall have all rights and remedies available to them under applicable law.

8.6 Effect of Investigation. The right of an Indemnified Party to indemnification or to assert or recover on any claim shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy of or compliance with any of the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements set forth in this Agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, shall not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.

8.7 Exclusive Remedy. Except (a) in the case where a party hereto seeks to obtain specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief and (b) in the case of fraud, the rights of the parties hereto to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement.

8.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements, any indemnity payment made under this Agreement shall be treated by all parties hereto as an adjustment to the aggregate consideration paid under this Agreement for all federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes.

Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manners 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 signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent that such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

9.4 Entire Agreement; Parties in Interest. This Agreement, the Appendixes, Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Disclosure Schedule, the Related Agreements, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto 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 are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder (except that Section 5.21 is intended to benefit the Company’s directors and officers).

9.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void.

The parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

9.7 Specific Performance and Other Remedies.

(a) The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the other party or parties hereto, any Equityholder or the Stockholder Representative of any covenant, obligation or other agreement set forth in this Agreement or any Related Agreement, as the case may be, (i) each party shall be entitled, without any proof of actual damages (and in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it), to an Order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other agreement and an injunction preventing or restraining such breach or threatened breach, and (ii) no party hereto shall be required to provide or post any bond or other security or collateral in connection with any such Order or injunction or in connection with any related action or legal proceeding.

(b) Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred herein upon a party hereto shall be deemed to be cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or in equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

9.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Legal Requirements of the State of Delaware without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the case of a federal claim as to which federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) and to the appellate courts therefrom in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the Legal Requirements of the State of Delaware for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction, venue and such process. Each party agrees not to commence any legal proceedings related hereto except in such courts.

9.9 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, hereby waive, with respect to this Agreement, each Schedule, each Appendix and each Exhibit attached hereto, the application of any Legal Requirement or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATED AGREEMENTS, THE MERGER OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS, OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PERSON ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATED AGREEMENTS.

9.11 Stockholder Representative.

(a) By virtue of execution and delivery of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Equityholders, each of the Equityholders shall be deemed to have agreed to appoint Shain Noor as the Stockholder Representative, to act as its, his or her exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact with the authority (but subject to the limitations on authority set forth in this Agreement) to take any and all actions and execute any and all documents which the Stockholder Representative determines in its sole and absolute discretion may be necessary, convenient or appropriate to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise perform the duties or exercise the rights granted to the Stockholder Representative hereunder, including, to give and receive notices and communications to or from Purchaser relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by the Equityholders individually), in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance. The Stockholder Representative shall only have the power and authority to act regarding matters pertaining to the Equityholders as a group and not individually, and shall not have power or authority to treat any particular Equityholders in a manner different from any other Equityholders (except as consistent with such Equityholder’s allocation of the consideration as set forth in the Spreadsheet). The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time in accordance with the terms of the Stockholder Representative’s engagement letter.

(b) The Stockholder Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Stockholder Representative in connection with its services pursuant to this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Stockholder Representative’s gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Equityholders shall severally, but not jointly (in accordance with their respective allocations set forth in the Spreadsheet) indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith. In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Equityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of the Equityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Stockholder Representative under this section. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Related Agreement, the Stockholder Representative shall only have the power or authority to act regarding matters pertaining to the Equityholders as a group and not individually and, shall not have power or authority to treat any particular Equityholder in a manner different from any other Equityholders (except to the extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement or such Related Agreement) without the particular Equityholder’s consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, the Stockholder Representative entering into a settlement agreement with respect to any of the foregoing, in accordance with the procedures, limitations of liability and Stockholder Representative authority set forth in this Agreement (as of the Agreement Date and as amended in compliance with Section 7.3) shall not be deemed to implicate or require the prior written approval of a Equityholder pursuant to the previous sentence.

(d) After the Closing, any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Stockholder Representative that is within the scope of the Stockholder Representative’s authority under this Agreement shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of the Equityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Equityholder; and Purchaser shall be entitled to rely upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of each and every such Equityholder.

9.12 Exclusive Dealing. Other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, during the period from the Agreement Date to the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII, the Equityholders and the Company shall not, and shall direct each of the their Affiliates and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (a) initiate or solicit the submission of any Acquisition Proposal with respect to, (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding or relating to, or (c) enter into any letter of intent or agreement in principle with any third party relating to, any direct or indirect Acquisition Proposal. For purposes hereof, “Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Purchaser or any of its Affiliates) concerning (i) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, involving the Company; (ii) the issuance or acquisition of shares of equity securities of the Company; or (iii) the sale or other disposition or any significant portion of the Company’s properties or assets. In addition to the other obligations under this Section 9.12, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof by the Seller or its representatives or agents) advise Purchaser orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal. The Company and the Equityholders agree that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 9.12 shall include having such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to Purchaser and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Purchaser.

9.13 Release.

(a) Effective upon the Closing, each Equityholder, for itself and its administrators, executors, trustees, beneficiaries, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby irrevocably, fully and unconditionally releases, forever discharges and covenants not to sue (i) the Company and (ii) Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company), and each of their respective individual, joint or mutual, Representatives, direct and indirect equityholders, other controlling Persons, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all manner of Actions, causes of actions, claims, obligations, demands, damages, costs, expenses, compensation or other relief, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, direct or indirect, in Contract, direct or indirect, or in law or equity, of any kind, which the Releasing Parties now have, have ever had or may hereafter have against the respective Releasees on account of or arising out of any matter, cause or occurrence occurring contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing including those pertaining to the Releasing Parties’ relationships, direct and indirect, with the Company (including with respect to equity ownership rights in the Company or rights arising by virtue of their status as directors, officers, partners, members, equityholders, employees or similar capacities of the Company and its Subsidiaries); in each case, other than with respect to any act of Fraud by such Person or their respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Company Related Agreements. Each Equityholder understands and agrees that it is expressly waiving all claims against the Releasees covered by this release including those claims that it may not know of or suspect to exist which, if known, may have materially affected the decision to provide this release, and such Equityholder expressly waives any rights under Legal Requirements that provide to the contrary.

(b) Each Releasing Party is aware that it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the release provided for in this Section 9.13; provided, however, it is the intention of each Releasing Party that such release shall be effective as a full and final accord and satisfactory release of each and every matter specifically or generally referred to in this Section 9.13. In furtherance of this intention, each Releasing Party expressly waives and relinquishes any and all claims, rights or benefits that it may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (“Section 1542”), and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction, which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASEE.

(c) Each Releasing Party acknowledges and agrees that Section 1542, and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction, if they exist, are designed to protect a party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, each Releasing Party agrees that the waiver of Section 1542 and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction is a material portion of the releases intended by this Section 9.13, and it therefore intends to waive all protection provided by Section 1542 and any other similar provision in any other jurisdiction. EACH RELEASING PARTY FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IS AWARE THAT IT MAY HEREAFTER DISCOVER CLAIMS OR FACTS IN ADDITION TO OR DIFFERENT FROM THOSE IT NOW KNOWS OR BELIEVES TO BE TRUE WITH RESPECT TO THE MATTERS RELEASED HEREIN. NEVERTHELESS, IT INTENDS TO FULLY, FINALLY AND FOREVER RELEASE ALL SUCH MATTERS, AND ALL CLAIMS RELATIVE THERETO, WHICH DO NOW EXIST, MAY EXIST, OR HERETOFORE HAVE EXISTED BETWEEN SUCH PARTY, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE RELEASEES, ON THE OTHER HAND. IN FURTHERANCE OF SUCH INTENTION, THE RELEASES GIVEN HEREIN SHALL BE AND REMAIN IN EFFECT AS FULL AND COMPLETE GENERAL RELEASES OF ALL SUCH MATTERS, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DISCOVERY OR EXISTENCE OF ANY ADDITIONAL OR DIFFERENT CLAIMS OR FACTS RELATIVE THERETO.
