Board or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to each Company Option assumed by Parent.

(b) Parent shall file with the SEC, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form), if available for use by Parent, relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to Company Options assumed by Parent in accordance with Section 3.2(a)(i).

(c) Effective as of the Effective Time, Parent shall assume the sponsorship of the Company Equity Plan (provided that references to the Company therein shall thereupon be deemed references to Parent and references to Company Common Stock therein shall be deemed references to Parent Common Stock with appropriate equitable adjustments to reflect the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, and in any event no more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock represented by book entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, instructions for use in identifying such Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon identification of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, together with such other documents as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Book-Entry Shares (other than Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares) (A) that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all shares of Company Capital Stock then held by such holder under all Book-Entry Shares so identified) to which such holder of Company Capital Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i), and (B) one CVR for each share of Company Capital Stock held by such holder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, representing the right to receive such holder’s pro rata portion of the Earnout Shares in accordance with Section 3.6 and the CVR Agreement. Any Book-Entry Shares shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3, each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof.

(c) If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Book-Entry Share or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax is not applicable.

(d) Holders of Book-Entry Shares who are entitled to receive shares of Parent Common Stock under this Article III shall be paid (A) at the time of payment of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent under Section 3.3(b), the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the time of such payment by the Exchange Agent under Section 3.3(b) and a payment date subsequent to the time of such payment by the Exchange Agent under Section 3.3(b) payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(e) The Merger Consideration, including the CVRs payable in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Book-Entry Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, transfer is sought for Book-Entry Shares, such Book-Entry Shares shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

(f) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued, with no cash being paid for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding.

(g) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Book-Entry Shares one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company, upon demand, and any remaining holders of Book-Entry Shares (except to the extent representing Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company, as general creditors thereof, for payment of the Merger Consideration (together with any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 3.3(d)) (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws), without interest.

(h) None of Parent, the Surviving Company, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Person in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock, dividends or other distributions with respect thereto properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any or Book-Entry Shares shall not have been exchanged prior to two years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the related Merger Consideration (and all dividends or other distributions with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock) would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such Merger Consideration (and such dividends and distributions) in respect thereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 3.4 Withholding Rights. Parent, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent (each, a “Withholding Agent”) shall each be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as any Withholding Agent is required to deduct and withhold under applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by a Withholding Agent and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made. Except in connection with either a failure of the Company to comply with Section 8.3(e) or with respect to any amounts treated as compensation, the Withholding Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) notify each holder of Company Capital Stock at least five (5) Business Days prior to deducting or withholding any amounts of its intent to deduct and withhold and (ii) cooperate with such holder to minimize any such deductions and withholding.

Section 3.5 Dissenters Rights.Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each share of the Company Capital Stock (other than Excluded Shares) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal for such shares of the Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and, as of the Effective Time, has neither effectively withdrawn nor lost such holder’s rights to such appraisal under the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but shall be cancelled and cease to exist and shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, if any, which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i), without interest. The Company shall give Parent (a) prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of the Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, attempted written withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights to appraisal with respect to the Merger and (b) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any demands for appraisal under the DGCL.

Section 3.6 Earnout.

(a) Earnout Shares and CVRs. Each CVR shall entitle the holder to receive a pro rata portion of up to 12,082,313 shares of Parent Common Stock, as such shares may be adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, exchange, subdivision or combination (the “Earnout Shares”), if and when such Earnout Shares become issuable in accordance with the achievement of the milestones set forth in this Section 3.6 and the CVR Agreement.

(b) Release Procedures. If any of the milestones described below are achieved, Parent shall promptly notify the Exchange Agent and Stockholder Representative in writing describing the milestone and the number of Earnout Shares to be distributed by Parent to the Exchange Agent for further distribution to the holders on a pro rata basis to CVR holders in accordance with Section 3.6(g) and the CVR Agreement.

(c) Milestones. Earnout Shares shall be issued by Parent based on terms as are mutually agreed to by Parent and the Company on or before the Due Diligence Contingency Deadline.

Earnout Shares payable relating to the milestones set forth in Section 3.6(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be issued as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion of Parent’s audit of the Surviving Company for the relevant period and shall be distributed to the CVR holders on a pro rata basis in accordance with the CVR Agreement.

(e) No Rights Until Issuance. CVRs do not entitle their holders to vote, receive dividends, or exercise any rights as holders of Parent Common Stock unless and until Earnout Shares are actually issued.

(f) Tax Treatment. The parties agree to treat the Earnout Shares, if and when issued, as additional Merger Consideration for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Each D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from each of Parent and the Surviving Company, jointly and severally, upon receipt by Parent or the Surviving Company from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided, that any such D&O Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to Parent, to the extent then required by the DGCL, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such D&O Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, Parent shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).
