(a) The Target is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed. The Target is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Target Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b) The Target has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Business Combination Agreement, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

17

 

 

(c) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties to this Agreement, the Target is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities), other than (i) filings required by (x) applicable state securities laws and (y) Antitrust Laws to the extent applicable and (ii) those filings, the failure of which to obtain would not have a Target Material Adverse Effect.

 

(d) The information and materials previously provided by or on behalf of the Target to the Purchaser (if any) in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities, have been prepared in a good faith effort by the Target to describe the Target’s present and proposed business.

ARTICLE 4

 

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

 

(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of the Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and, if permitted pursuant to the terms thereof, the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, if a party thereto.

 

(b) The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

 

NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

18

 

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties; provided, however, that, as a prerequisite to such pledge, the Purchaser shall (x) provide notice to the Company of such pledge or transfer at least five (5) Business Days prior thereto and (y) cause to be delivered to the Company customary legal opinions of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party and pledgor as shall be reasonably requested by the Company in connection therewith. Thereafter, at the Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including, if the Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling securityholders thereunder.

 

(c) Certificates (or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or (iii) as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder or if requested by the Purchaser, respectively, in each case, if the proposed sale is to be made pursuant to an effective registration statement or subject to an exemption from registration under the federal securities laws. If all or any shares of Preferred Stock are converted or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), or if the Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) or as provided in the Certificate of Designation or Warrants, then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate (or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate (or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1. Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate (or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend.

 

(d) The Purchaser agrees with the Company that the Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates (or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

 

19

 

 

4.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against the Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other equity holders of the Company.

 

4.3 Furnishing of Information; Public Information. From the Closing Date until the time that the Purchaser does not own any Securities, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

4.4 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

 

4.5 Conversion and Exercise Procedures. Each of the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of Conversion included in the Certificate of Designation set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchaser in order to exercise the Warrants or convert its Preferred Stock. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion form be required in order to exercise the Warrants or convert its Preferred Stock. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchaser to exercise its Warrants or convert its Preferred Stock. The Company shall honor exercises of the Purchaser’s Warrants and conversions of the Purchaser’s Preferred Stock and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

 

4.6 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. Neither the Company nor the Target shall publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser, or include the name of the Purchaser in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except (a) as required by federal securities law or requested by the staff of the SEC in connection with (i) any filings in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (iii) the filing of final Transaction Documents with the SEC and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).

 

4.7 Stockholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that exclusively as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement the Purchaser is an “acquiring person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that the Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents.

 

4.8 Non-Public Information. The Company and the Target covenant and agree that neither they, nor any other Person acting on their behalf will provide the Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company and the Target reasonably believe constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Purchaser shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company and the Target to keep such information confidential. To the extent that the Company, the Target or any of their respective officers, director, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public information to the Purchaser without the Purchaser’s consent, the Company and the Target hereby covenant and agree that the Purchaser shall not have any duty of trust or confidentiality to the Company, the Target or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, the Target or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade while aware of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or the Target, the Company shall if reasonably practicable simultaneously file such notice with the SEC pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company and the Target understand and confirm that the Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

 

20

 

 

4.9 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for general corporate and working capital purposes, in the Company’s exclusive discretion.

 

4.10 Indemnification.

 

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser Party harmless from any and all Losses that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents (unless such Loss is primarily based upon a material breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct).

 

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Target will indemnify and hold each Purchaser Party, harmless from any and all Losses that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Target found exclusively in Section 3.3, covenants or agreements made by the Target in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents (unless such Loss is primarily based upon a material breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct).

 

(c) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold (i) each Company Party and (ii) each Target Party, harmless from any and all Losses that any such Company Party or Target Party (as applicable) may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents (unless such Loss is primarily based upon a material breach of such Company Party’s or Target Party’s (as applicable) representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Company Party or Target Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Company Party or Target Party (as applicable) of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Company Party or Target Party (as applicable) which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct).

 

(d) If any Action or Proceeding shall be brought against any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, but the omission to notify such Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party under this Section 4.10 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Action or Proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such Action or Proceeding there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Indemnifying Party and the position of such Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

21

 

 

4.11 Reservation and Listing of Securities.

 

(a) Commencing on the Closing Date, the Company shall maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.

 

(b) If, on any date following the Closing Date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than 100% of (i) the Required Minimum on such date, minus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time (minus the number of shares of Common Stock previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents), as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75th day after such date, provided that the Company will not be required at any time to authorize a number of shares of Common Stock greater than the maximum remaining number of shares of Common Stock that could possibly be issued after such time pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

 

(c) The Company shall, as applicable: (i) promptly after the Closing Date and in connection with the registration with the SEC of the Underlying Shares, in the manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps reasonably necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as practicable thereafter and to provide to the Purchaser evidence of such listing or quotation and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

 

4.12 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. The Company shall (a) by 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Trading Day after the date of this Agreement, issue a press release and/or file a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and all material non-public information (other than the Additional Information) concerning the Company disclosed to the Purchaser by the Company, the Target or their respective agents, which shall have been previously reviewed by counsel for the Placement Agents, and (b) in respect of any information that is issued in a press release, file a Current Report on Form 8-K including the form of this Agreement as an exhibit thereto, which shall have been previously reviewed by counsel for the Placement Agents, within the time required by the Exchange Act. Effective upon the issuance of such Disclosure Document, the Company acknowledges and represents to the Purchaser that (i) if the Purchaser has not received the Additional Information, the Purchaser shall not be in possession of material non-public information concerning the Company disclosed to the Purchaser by the Company or its agents, (ii) if the Purchaser has received the Additional Information, the Purchaser shall not be in possession of material non-public information (other than the Additional Information) concerning the Company disclosed to the Purchaser by the Company or its agents, and (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under this Agreement, or an agreement entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, whether written or oral, between the Company, the Target or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one hand, and the Purchaser or any of its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or investment advisers, on the other hand, shall remain in full force and effect with respect to any material non-public information (including non-financial information) received by the Purchaser from the Company, the Target or their respective agents that has not been disclosed in the Disclosure Document; provided, that such confidentiality obligations shall terminate with respect to any information that has been publicly disclosed in the Disclosure Document or any subsequent public filing by the Company. To the extent any disclosure is required by law or regulations, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that the Purchaser may (a) seek appropriate relief to prevent or limit such disclosure should it wish to do so, (b) furnish only that portion of the information which is legally required to be furnished or disclosed, and to the extent reasonably feasible, (c) consult with the Company on content and timing prior to any such disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not (and shall cause each of its affiliates and representatives not to) disclose the name of the Purchaser or its investment adviser in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise, except as required by law in which case the Company shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

4.13 Blue Sky Filings. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchaser at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States.

 

4.14 Reliance. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company, the Target and the Placement Agents will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this Section 4.14 shall not give the Company or the Target any rights other than those expressly set forth herein. Prior to the Closing, the Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company, the Target and the Placement Agents if it becomes aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects. The Company and the Target acknowledge that the Purchaser and the Placement Agents will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and the Target contained in this Agreement.

 

4.15 MFN. Neither the Company nor the Target have entered into any side letter or similar agreement with any investor party any securities purchase agreement (each, an “Other Purchaser”) in connection with such Other Purchaser’s direct or indirect investment in the securities of the Company. The Company and the Target represent that they have not entered into, and covenant that prior to the Closing they will not enter into, any securities purchase agreement, side letter agreements or other agreements or understandings with any Other Purchaser (collectively, “PIPE Agreements”) which include terms and conditions that are materially more advantageous to any such Other Purchaser (as compared to the Purchaser), other than PIPE Agreements containing any of the following: (i) any rights or benefits granted to an Other Purchaser in connection with such Other Purchaser’s compliance with any law, regulation or policy specifically applicable to such Other Purchaser or in connection with the taxable status of an Other Purchaser, (ii) any rights or benefits which are personal to an Other Purchaser based solely on its place of organization or headquarters, organizational form of, or other particular restrictions applicable to, such Other Purchaser, or (iii) any rights with respect to the confidentiality or disclosure of an Other Purchaser’s identity; provided, that no such PIPE Agreements provide for or will provide for a purchase price per share of Preferred Stock (or implied price per share of Common Stock) more favorable to any such Other Purchaser (as compared to the Purchaser). In the event that the Company or the Target enters into any PIPE Agreement with any Other Purchaser that includes terms and conditions that are materially more advantageous to such Other Purchaser (as compared to the Purchaser) in any respect (other than as permitted by clauses (i) through (iii) above), the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be automatically amended, without any further action by the parties hereto, to reflect such more advantageous terms. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Other Purchaser to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents or PIPE Agreements unless the same consideration is also offered to the Purchaser. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to the Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by the Purchaser, and is intended for Company to treat the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers as a group and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of securities or otherwise.

 

4.16 BCA Amendments. Without the prior written consent of a majority in interest (by aggregate subscription amount) of the purchasers party to the Series A SPAs, the Company shall not agree to or permit any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of the Business Combination Agreement that would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any intentional breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such intentional breach; provided, that in the event that the Business Combination Agreement is ever terminated by the Company and/or the Target for any reason, the Purchaser hereby agrees not to indirectly assert a claim against the Target by funding the Company or any other party to assert any such claim.

5.2 Fees and Expenses.

The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees (including, without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any conversion notice delivered by a Purchaser), stamp taxes and other Taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Securities to the Purchaser.

 

5.3 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.

 

5.4 Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email at the e-mail address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email attachment at the e-mail address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

5.5 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company, the Target and the Purchaser or, in the case of a waiver, by the Company, the Target or the Purchaser, as the case may be, dependent on the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought. Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 4.6, 4.10, 4.14, 5.3, 5.5, 5.8, 5.22, 5.23, 5.24 and the signature page hereto may not be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Corporation, the Purchaser and each Placement Agent. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

5.6 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

5.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Neither the Company nor the Target may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other and the Purchaser (other than by merger). The Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom the Purchaser assigns or transfers any Securities, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchaser.”

 

5.8 Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agents shall be the express third-party beneficiaries of Sections 4.14, 5.5 and 5.22 hereof and the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 5.23 hereof. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.10 and this Section 5.8.

 

24

 

 

5.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (other than the Certificate of Designation) (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, other than the Certificate of Designation), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the parties under Section 4.10, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.

 

5.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1, Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.

 

5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever the Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of (x) a rescission of a conversion of the Purchaser’s Preferred Stock, the Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion or (y) a recission of an exercise of a Warrant, the Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any exercise notice concurrently with the return to the Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of the Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to the Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

 

5.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

 

5.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 4.10 shall be the exclusive remedy for any Losses resulting from a breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Article 3 of this Agreement, in each case exclusively to the extent such Losses arise during the survival period of such representations and warranties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

25

 

 

5.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or the Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

5.17 Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any Action or Proceeding that may be brought by the Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to the Purchaser with respect to Indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by the Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such Indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Purchaser’s election.

 

5.18 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.

 

5.19 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

5.20 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and (iii) the words “herein”, “hereto” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular portion of this Agreement.

 

5.21 Trust Account Waiver. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that, as described in the Company’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering (the “IPO”) dated July 6, 2026 available at www.sec.gov, the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of the IPO and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company, its public shareholders and certain other parties. For and in consideration of entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Purchaser on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates and subsidiaries, and each of its and their employees, agents, representatives and any other person or entity acting on its and their behalf hereby (a) agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account, arising out or as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreement, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”), (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, and (c) agrees that it will not seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.21 shall be deemed to limit the Purchaser’s right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with the Company’s memorandum and articles of association in respect of any redemptions by the Purchaser in respect of securities acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Agreement.

 

26

 

 

5.22 Exculpation. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) neither of the Placement Agents nor any of their respective Affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or Representatives of the foregoing have any duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein or in the engagement letters, dated on or about [ ], 2026, by and between [ ]], (ii) neither the Placement Agents nor their Affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or Representatives of the foregoing make any representation or warranty, or have any responsibilities as to the validity, accuracy, value or genuineness of any information, certificates or documentation delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or in connection with any of the transactions, and (iii) no Placement Agent, its Affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or Representatives of the foregoing shall be liable (including, without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by such person or entity) or have any liability to the Purchaser pursuant to, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the negotiation hereof or thereof or the subject matter hereof or thereof, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, with respect to any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Securities or with respect to any claim (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, as expressly provided herein or therein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements, or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by the Company, the Placement Agents or Target concerning the Target, the Company, the Placement Agents, any of their controlled Affiliates, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

5.23 No Other Brokers. Each of the Company and the Purchaser represent and warrant to the other parties that, except for the Placement Agents, no broker or finder is entitled to any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission to be paid by the Purchaser solely in connection with the sale of the Securities to the Purchaser. Each of the Company and Purchaser agree to indemnify and save the other Parties hereto harmless from any claim or demand for commission or other compensation by any broker, finder, financial consultant or similar agent other than Placement Agents claiming to have been employed by or on behalf of such Party and to bear the cost of legal expenses incurred in defending against any such claim.

 

5.24 Independent Nature of Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers under this Agreement and the other PIPE Agreements are several and not joint with the obligations of each other, and the Purchaser shall not be responsible in any way for the performance obligations of any Other Purchaser under this Agreement or any other PIPE Agreements. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by the Purchaser or any Other Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and the Company will not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the PIPE Agreements. The Company acknowledges and the Purchaser confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each of the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement and the other PIPE Agreements, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company has elected to provide the Purchaser and the Other Purchasers with the same terms and forms of Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchaser or any Other Purchaser.

 

5.25 NO LIABILITY UPON GOOD FAITH TERMINATION. OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO ANY LIABILITIES ARISING PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.10 AND/OR SECTION 5.2 ABOVE, NONE OF THE COMPANY, TARGET, ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES, OR ANY OTHER PARTY TO THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EQUITYHOLDERS, MANAGERS, MEMBERS, ADVISORS OR LEGAL COUNSEL SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, AS A RESULT OF POTENTIAL LOST PROFITS AND OPPORTUNITIES) TO THE PURCHASER AS A RESULT OF THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AS A RESULT OF THE GOOD FAITH TERMINATION OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT BECAUSE OF A FAILURE OF A CLOSING CONDITION TO BE MET (SOLELY TO THE EXTENT SUCH FAILURE IS OUTSIDE OF THE CONTROL OF THE TARGET OR THE COMPANY, BUT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED BY THE COMPANY OR TARGET).
