Article I. THE MERGER

Section 1.01 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the applicable provisions of the BVI Companies Act.

Section 1.02 Closing. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Article VII, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to closing contained in Article VI, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place (a) remotely by exchange of documents and signatures (or their electronic counterparts) on the third Business Day after the day on which the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) are satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement or (b) at such other place and time as PubCo and the Company may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.03 Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the Parties shall execute a plan of merger (the “Plan of Merger”) and articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”), and shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Articles of Merger (appending the Plan of Merger) and other documents required by the BVI Companies Act with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI Registry”) in accordance with the relevant provisions of the BVI Companies Act, and shall make all other filings, recordings or publications required under the BVI Companies Act in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the time that the properly executed copy of the Articles of Merger is filed and accepted by the BVI Registry or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, at such later time as specified in the Articles of Merger (the time at which the Merger becomes effective is herein referred to as the “Effective Time”).

-2-

Section 1.04 Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the BVI Companies Act, this Agreement and the Articles of Merger. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of each of the Company and the Merger Sub shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Company, which will include the assumption by the Surviving Company of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of the Company and the Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Effective Time. As a result of the Merger, the Surviving Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo.

Section 1.05 Organizational Documents.

(a) Surviving Company Organizational Documents. The memorandum and articles of association of the Company in effect at the Effective Time shall be the memorandum and articles of association of the Surviving Company immediately after the Effective Time, except such memorandum and articles of association shall be amended and restated as may be necessary (the “Surviving Company Restated Articles”), until amended in accordance with applicable Law, and the Parties shall approve and adopt the Surviving Company Restated Articles, and make any required filings with the BVI Registry.

(b) PubCo Organizational Documents. The certificate of incorporation of PubCo shall be identical to the certificate of incorporation of PubCo immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with such certificate of incorporation and applicable Law; provided, however, that at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, PubCo shall file an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to (i) change the name of PubCo to “YOOV, Inc.” or such other name chosen by the Company and approved, in writing, by PubCo (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (ii) effectuate the Reverse Stock Split, if necessary, and (iii) make such other changes as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and PubCo prior to the filing of such amendment. The bylaws of PubCo shall be identical to the bylaws of PubCo as in effect as of the Effective Time, except such bylaws shall be deemed amended to change the name of PubCo stated therein to “YOOV, Inc.,” until thereafter amended in accordance with such bylaws and applicable Law.

Section 1.06 Directors and Officers.

(a) PubCo Board. The Parties shall take all necessary actions such that as of the Effective Time and until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Law, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the organizational documents of PubCo, the PubCo Board shall be comprised of seven (7) individuals, five (5) such individuals shall be as designated by the Company in a written notice to PubCo prior to the Closing, and two (2) individuals from the existing PubCo Board as of immediately prior to the Closing shall be retained (or as may be otherwise designated by the pre-Closing PubCo Board), provided, that such individuals are reasonably acceptable to the Company.

(b) Officers of PubCo. The Parties shall take all necessary actions such that, from and after the Effective Time, until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Law, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the organizational documents of PubCo, the officers of PubCo shall be designated by the Company in a written notice to PubCo prior to the Closing.

-3-

(c) Directors and Officers of the Surviving Company. The Parties shall take all necessary actions such that, from and after the Effective Time, until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Law, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the organizational documents of the Surviving Company, (i) the directors of the Surviving Company, and (ii) the officers of the Surviving Company shall, in each case, be designated by the Company in a written notice to PubCo prior to the Closing.

Section 1.07 Tax Treatment. Each of the Parties intends that, for U.S. federal income tax, and as applicable, state and local Tax purposes, (i) the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and, in the event that the former shareholders of the Company are in “control” of PubCo immediately after the Effective Time within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code, shall also qualify as an exchange of Company Ordinary Shares for shares of PubCo Common Stock within the meaning of Section 351(a) of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”), and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute, and is hereby adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

Article II. EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON SHARE CAPITAL

Section 2.01 Conversion of Share Capital.

(a) Treatment of Company Convertible Securities. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Preferred Share and any ordinary share purchase warrants or other securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Company Ordinary Shares (such warrants or securities, the “Company Convertible Securities”) shall be (i) converted into Company Ordinary Shares (the “Company Convertible Securities Conversion”), or (ii) cancelled and shall cease to exist in accordance with their terms. The Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be subject to Section 2.01(c) below.

(b) Merger. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any additional action on the part of either PubCo Entity, the Company, the PubCo Stockholders or the Company Shareholders:

(i) Company Ordinary Share. Each Company Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (and, for the avoidance of doubt, (A) following the conversion of any Company Convertible Securities Conversion, and (B) other than Dissenting Shares or Excluded Company Shares) shall automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of PubCo Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Consideration”).

(ii) PubCo Common Stock. Each share of PubCo Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding. Immediately following the Effective Time, shares of PubCo Common Stock, if any, owned by the Surviving Company shall be surrendered to PubCo without payment therefor.

(iii) Merger Sub Ordinary Shares. Each Merger Sub Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the Surviving Company, which shall constitute the only outstanding shares of the Surviving Company and shall be solely owned by the PubCo.

(iv) Treasury Stock of the Company. Each share of the Company Share Capital held in the treasury of the Company, owned by the Company or any of its direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries or by PubCo or any of its Affiliates at the Effective Time (collectively, the “Excluded Company Shares”) shall be canceled automatically and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid for those Excluded Company Shares.

-4-

(c) Conversion of Company Securities. All Company Ordinary Shares (including Company Ordinary Shares issued upon any Company Convertible Securities Conversion) that have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01(b) shall be canceled automatically and shall cease to exist, and the holders of (i) certificates which immediately before the Effective Time represented such shares (the “Company Share Certificates”) or (ii) shares represented by book-entry (the “Company Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to those shares, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02.

(d) Equitable Adjustment. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of PubCo or the Company shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, stock split (including a reverse stock split only to the extent such split has not been previously taken into account in calculating the Exchange Ratio) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution is declared with a record date during such period, the Exchange Ratio (and the determination thereof) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of PubCo Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights as a holder of PubCo Common Stock. If the product of the number of shares a Company Shareholder holds immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio would result in the issuance of a fractional share of PubCo Common Stock, that product will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of PubCo Common Stock, if it is less than the fraction of one-half (0.5) of one share of PubCo Common Stock, or rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of PubCo Common Stock if the said product is greater than or equal to the fraction of one-half (0.5) of one share of PubCo Common Stock.

Section 2.02 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, PubCo and the Company shall appoint a firm, bank or trust company acceptable to the Company to serve as exchange and payment agent (the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of issuing and sending to each Company Shareholder, other than with respect to Excluded Company Shares or Dissenting Shares, the Merger Consideration. PubCo will enter into an agreement with such Exchange Agent on terms reasonably satisfactory to PubCo and the Company.

(b) Exchange Fund. On or prior to the Closing Date, PubCo and the Company shall cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of Company Ordinary Share, the aggregate Merger Consideration (which shall be in book-entry form unless a physical certificate is requested) issuable pursuant to this Agreement. All book-entry shares representing PubCo Common Stock deposited by PubCo with the Exchange Agent for distribution to the Company Shareholders pursuant to this Article II are referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(i) Letter of Transmittal. As promptly as practicable but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time, PubCo shall, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to, mail to each holder of record of a share of Company Ordinary Share, (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form, specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such holder’s shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Company Share Certificate, as applicable, to the Exchange Agent or, in the case of Company Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal, and (B) instructions for surrendering such Company Share Certificates or Company Book-Entry Shares.

-5-

(ii) Surrender of Shares of Company Stock. Upon surrender of a Company Share Certificate or of a Company Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the instructions provided by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i) above, together with a duly executed and completed letter of transmittal and any other documents reasonably required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of that Company Share Certificate or Company Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange therefor, that number of whole shares of PubCo Common Stock to which such Company Shareholder shall have become entitled on the account of Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01.

(iii) Unregistered Transferees. If any Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the share of Company Ordinary Share is registered, then the Merger Consideration may be paid to such a transferee so long as (A) the surrendered Company Share Certificate or Company Book-Entry Share is accompanied by all documents required by PubCo or the Company, as applicable, to evidence that such Company Ordinary Share has been properly transferred and (B) the Person requesting such payment (1) pays any applicable transfer taxes or (2) establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of PubCo and the Exchange Agent that any such transfer taxes have already been paid or are not applicable.

(iv) No Other Rights. Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.02(c), each Company Share Certificate and each Company Book-Entry Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Any Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of any Company Share Certificate or Company Book-Entry Share shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Share Certificate or Company Book-Entry Share and the Company Ordinary Shares formerly represented by it.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Company Share Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by PubCo, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as PubCo may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Share Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay, in exchange for such affidavit claiming such Company Share Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, the Merger Consideration, to such Person in respect of the Company Ordinary Shares represented by such Company Share Certificate.

(e) No Further Transfers. 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 Company Ordinary Shares that were outstanding immediately before the Effective Time.

(f) Required Withholding. Insofar as applicable, each of PubCo, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other applicable state, local or foreign Law. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, those amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made.

-6-

(g) No Liability. None of PubCo, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates) shall be liable to any Company Shareholder for any amount properly paid to a public official under any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any shares Company Ordinary Share shall not have been allocated their Merger Consideration prior to two (2) 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 shares of PubCo Common Stock) would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority), any such Merger Consideration (and such dividends, distributions and cash) in respect thereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the PubCo, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Share Certificates or Company Book-Entry Shares one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to PubCo upon demand. Thereafter, any holder of Company Share Certificates or Company Book-Entry Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall look only to the PubCo for, and the PubCo shall remain liable for, payment of the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to the terms of this Article II, subject to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law, without interest.

Section 2.03 Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) PubCo Stock Options. Following the Effective Time, each PubCo Stock Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof or any other Person, continue to be outstanding and have, and shall continue to be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to such PubCo Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that, in no event shall such total PubCo Stock Option, whether or not vested or exercisable, on an as-converted and fully diluted basis, be exercised or excisable for more than 4% of the aggregate PubCo Common Stock reserved for issuance under such equity plan of PubCo adopted or becomes effective after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all PubCo Stock Options shall be treated in a manner so as not to result in the incurrence of a penalty tax under Section 409A of the Code. For the avoidance of doubt, the PubCo Stock Options outstanding at the Effective Time shall not in any way change or otherwise alter the percentage ownership interest of the PubCo Stockholders and the Company Shareholders, respectively, as contemplated under this Agreement. Prior to the Effective Time, PubCo shall take all necessary action, if any, to give effect to the terms of this Section 2.03(a).

(b) Amendment to PubCo Equity Plan. PubCo shall undertake to amend the PubCo Equity Plan, in such form that is reasonably acceptable to the Company, to increase the number of PubCo Common Stock reserved and issuable under the PubCo Equity Plan after the Effective Time (the “PubCo Equity Plan Amendment”). PubCo shall take all necessary action to submit the PubCo Equity Plan Amendment to the PubCo Board for approval and, upon its approval, the PubCo Board shall submit the PubCo Equity Plan Amendment for stockholder approval at the PubCo Stockholders Meeting.

Section 2.04 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Share Capital (other than Excluded Company Shares) for which the holder thereof (the “Dissenting Shareholder”) (i) has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented in writing and (ii) has validly exercised the rights to dissent from the Merger in accordance with, and has complied in all respects with, the BVI Companies Act (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.01. Each Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment resulting from the procedure in Section 179 of BVI Companies Act with respect to the Dissenting Shares owned by such Dissenting Shareholder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement and subject to compliance with this Section 5.04, prior to the Specified Time, a Party may, in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Takeover Proposal from a Qualified Person, (A) furnish non-public information with respect to such Party and its Subsidiaries to such Qualified Person (and the Representatives of such Qualified Person), pursuant to a confidentiality agreement not materially less restrictive with respect to the obligations (including confidentiality obligations, use restrictions, non-solicit provisions, no hire provisions and standstill provisions) of such Qualified Person than the Confidentiality Agreement, provided that such confidentiality agreement shall not (x) grant any exclusive right to negotiate with such counterparty, (y) prohibit such Party from satisfying its obligations hereunder, or (z) require the such Party to pay or reimburse the counterparty’s fees, costs or expenses, (B) engage in discussions or negotiations (including solicitation of revised Takeover Proposals) with any such Qualified Person (and the Representatives of such Qualified Person) regarding any Takeover Proposal, and (C) amend, or grant a waiver or release under, any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any PubCo Common Stock or any Company Ordinary Shares, as applicable, with any Qualified Person; provided, however, that (A) the board of directors of such Party has determined in good faith based on the advice of outside legal counsel, that the failure to take the actions contemplated by this sentence would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the such Party’s board of directors under applicable Law, (B) neither such applicable Party nor its Representative has breached this Section 5.04, (C) at least two Business Days prior to furnishing any such non-public information to, or entering into discussions with, any such Qualified Person, such Party gives the other Party written notice of the identity of such Qualified Person (unless, in the case of clause (iv), such disclosure is prohibited pursuant to the terms of any confidentiality agreement with such Person that is in effect on the date of this Agreement) and of such Party’s intention to furnish non-public information to, or enter into discussions with, such Qualified Person, (D) substantially contemporaneously with furnishing any non-public information to any such Qualified Person, such Party furnishes such non-public information to the other Party (to the extent such information has not been previously furnished by such Party to the other Party), and (E) notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, such Party shall continue to observe its obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement including not furnishing any such Qualified Person with any confidential information of the other Party.

-46-

Such Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed in all material respects of any material developments with respect to any Takeover Proposal (and any subsequent amendments or modifications or proposed amendments or modifications thereto), in each case, as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event within 24 hours of receipt, provision or occurrence thereof. Such Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed with respect to the status and terms of any such Takeover Proposal and any material modification or material proposed modification thereto.

(i) the board of directors of either Party shall not, except as permitted in this Section 5.04, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, or and publicly propose to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify, the PubCo Board Recommendation or the Company Board Recommendation, as applicable, in a manner adverse to the other Party;

(ii) the PubCo Board shall include the PubCo Board Recommendation in the PubCo Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement;

(iii) the PubCo Board (or any committee thereof) shall not make or fail to make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender or exchange offer, other than a recommendation against such offer or a “stop, look and listen” communication by the PubCo Board (or a committee thereof) to the PubCo Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication) (it being understood that the PubCo Board (or a committee thereof) may refrain from taking a position with respect to a Takeover Proposal until the close of business on the 10^th Business Day after the commencement of a tender or exchange offer in connection with such Takeover Proposal without such action being considered a violation of this Section 5.04(c) or a PubCo Adverse Recommendation Change); and

(iv) the board of directors of either Party shall not, except as set forth in this Section 5.04, adopt, approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly announce an intention to adopt, approve, endorse or recommend, any Takeover Proposal or any proposal that is reasonably expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal (any action described in clauses (i) through (iv), in the case of PubCo, a “PubCo Adverse Recommendation Change” or in the case of the Company, a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change,” and in either case, as applicable, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Specified Time, the board of directors of either Party may make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if such Party’s board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be a breach such board of director’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

-47-

(A) Such Party shall have first provided the other Party an Intervening Event Notice at least five Business Days in advance advising the other Party that such Party intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change (it being understood and hereby agreed that the delivery and receipt of any such Intervening Event Notice shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change) and specifying, in reasonable detail, the Intervening Event;

(B) during the applicable Intervening Event Notice Period (or any mutually agreed extension or continuation thereof), such Party and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with the other Party and its Representatives to make revisions to the terms of this Agreement as would cause such Intervening Event to cease to warrant an Adverse Recommendation Change;

(C) the other Party does not make, within the applicable Intervening Event Notice Period (or any extension or continuation thereof) after the receipt of such notice, a proposal that would, in the good faith judgment of the PubCo Board or Company Board, as applicable, (after consultation with outside legal counsel), cause the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event to no longer be inconsistent with the such board of director’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any material change in any event, occurrence or facts relating to such Intervening Event shall require a new Intervening Event Notice with a new Intervening Event Notice Period ending on the day that is three Business Days after such material change); and

(D) following the Intervening Event Notice Period, the PubCo Board or Company Board, as applicable, shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable, in response to such Intervening Event would continue to be a breach of such board of director’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Specified Time if, in response to a bona fide unsolicited written Takeover Proposal made by a Third Party after the date of this Agreement which does not arise from a breach of this Section 5.04 and has not been withdrawn, the board of directors of such Party that received the Takeover Proposal determines in good faith (1) after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (2) after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change, would be a breach of such Party’s board of director’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then such Party’s board of director’s may make an Adverse Recommendation Change only if, in either such case, all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(A) Such party shall have first provided to the other Party a Superior Proposal Notice at least five Business Days in advance advising the other Party that such Party is prepared to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal (and specifying, in reasonable detail, the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal, including the identity of the Third Party making any such Superior Proposal) (it being understood and hereby agreed that the delivery and receipt of any such Superior Proposal Notice shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change) and providing the other Party with a complete copy of any written request, proposal or offer, including any proposed Alternative Acquisition Agreement (and all schedules, appendices, exhibits and other attachments relating thereto), and any other documents containing the material terms of such Superior Proposal; during the applicable Superior Proposal Notice Period (or any extension or continuation thereof), prior to its effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change, such Party and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with the other Party and its Representatives regarding changes to the terms of this Agreement and any other proposals intended to cause such Takeover Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal;

-48-

(B) the other Party does not make, within the applicable Superior Proposal Notice Period (or any mutually agreed extension or continuation thereof) after the receipt of such notice, a proposal that would, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of such Party (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor), cause the offer previously constituting a Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment or modification of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Superior Proposal Notice with a new Superior Proposal Notice Period of five Business Days); and

(C) following the Superior Proposal Notice Period, such Party’s board of directors shall have determined in good faith, in light of such Superior Proposal and taking into account any revised terms proposed by the other Party, (x) after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor, that such Takeover Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (y) after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would continue to be a breach of the such board of director’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(d) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit PubCo, any of its Subsidiaries or the PubCo Board from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position with respect to a tender offer contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder (none of which, in and of itself, shall be deemed to constitute a PubCo Adverse Recommendation Change), or (ii) making any disclosure to PubCo’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the PubCo Board, after consultation with outside counsel, failure to so disclose would reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, it being understood that nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to permit PubCo or the PubCo Board (or a committee thereof) to effect a PubCo Adverse Recommendation Change other than in accordance with Section 5.04(c).

(e) Cessation of Ongoing Discussions. PubCo and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to: (i) cease immediately all discussions and negotiations that commenced prior to the date of this Agreement regarding any proposal that would constitute (if made after the date of this Agreement), or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Takeover Proposal, (ii) within two Business Days of the date of this Agreement, request the prompt return or destruction of all non-public information concerning PubCo or its Subsidiaries theretofore furnished to any Person with whom a confidentiality agreement in contemplation of an acquisition transaction was entered into at any time within the 12-month period immediately preceding the date hereof, and (iii) immediately terminate all access granted to any such Persons or their respective Representatives referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) to any physical or electronic data room; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit or modify any of PubCo’s rights under the other provisions of this Section 5.04.

The Company hereby covenants and agrees that none of the information to be supplied by or on behalf of the Company or any Affiliate thereof for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the PubCo Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement, shall, at the date it is first mailed to the PubCo Stockholders or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made by the Company with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein to the extent based on information supplied by any PubCo Entity or any Affiliate thereof in connection with the preparation of the PubCo Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein. PubCo and the Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that the PubCo Registration Statement complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and to satisfy all rules of Nasdaq.

PubCo shall promptly (A) notify the Company upon the receipt of any such comments or requests, and (B) provide the Company with copies of all correspondence relating to the PubCo Registration Statement between PubCo and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand. Before responding to any such comments or requests or the filing or mailing of the PubCo Registration Statement, PubCo shall provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any drafts of the PubCo Registration Statement and related correspondence and filings.

(d) The PubCo Registration Statement shall include the PubCo Board Recommendation unless the PubCo Board has made a PubCo Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.04 of this Agreement. The PubCo Registration Statement shall not, when sent to PubCo’s stockholders, contain any other proposal or request for stockholder approval of a Takeover Proposal other than the Requisite PubCo Vote.

(e) PubCo and the Company shall reasonably cooperate in good faith and use its respective commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of PubCo Common Stock to be issued in the Transactions to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date. PubCo shall also use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain, and the Company shall reasonably cooperate in good faith with PubCo to assist PubCo in obtaining, all necessary state securities law or “blue sky” permits and approvals necessary to ensure that the PubCo Common Stock to be issued in the Transactions (to the extent required) shall be registered or qualified or exempt from registration or qualification under the securities law of every jurisdiction of the United States in which any registered holder of Company Ordinary Share or Company Preferred Share has an address of record on the applicable record date for determining the holders of Company Ordinary Share or Company Preferred Share entitled to notice and to vote pursuant to the Company Shareholder Approval, to the extent applicable.

Section 5.06 PubCo Stockholders Meeting. Subject to Section 5.04, as promptly as practicable following the effectiveness of the PubCo Registration Statement, PubCo shall establish the record date, and duly call, give notice of, convene or hold the PubCo Stockholders Meeting in accordance with the DGCL and the PubCo Organizational Documents (and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date thereof, unless otherwise required by applicable Laws) to consider and vote to approve the PubCo Stockholder Matters. PubCo shall take reasonable measures to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the PubCo Stockholder Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, PubCo may postpone or adjourn the PubCo Stockholders Meeting: (i) with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); (ii) it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Requisite PubCo Vote, whether or not a quorum would be present; (iii) for the absence of a quorum; (iv) to allow reasonable additional time (not to exceed 20 days) for the filing and distribution of any supplemental or amended disclosure with respect to the Transactions, which the PubCo Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) is necessary under applicable Laws and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated to and reviewed by the PubCo Stockholders prior to the PubCo Stockholders Meeting; or (v) as reasonably necessary in connection with PubCo taking any of the actions permitted by Section 5.04 in response to a Takeover Proposal.

Section 5.08 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From the Closing Date through the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, each of PubCo and the Surviving Company, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless any present or former, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, director or officer of PubCo or the Surviving Company, or their respective Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all claims, losses, Liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”), incurred in connection with any Legal Action arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of PubCo, the Surviving Company or their respective Subsidiaries, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or at or after the Effective Time, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. Each Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of Costs incurred in the defense of any such Legal Action from each of PubCo and the Surviving Company upon receipt by PubCo or the Surviving Company from the Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any such Person to whom Costs are advanced provides an undertaking to PubCo, to the extent then required by the DGCL, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification. PubCo shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Legal Action and PubCo shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Legal Action pending or threatened in writing to which an Indemnified Party is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Legal Action or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing.

(b) The provisions presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of PubCo with respect to indemnification, advancement of Costs and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of PubCo shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were officers or directors of PubCo. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company shall contain, and PubCo shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of Costs and exculpation of present and former directors and officers as those presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of PubCo.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, (i) the Surviving Company shall fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company to its Indemnified Parties as of immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to any indemnification provisions under the Company’s Organizational Documents and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and such Indemnified Parties, with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) PubCo shall fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of PubCo to its Indemnified Parties as of immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to any indemnification provisions under PubCo’s Organizational Documents and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between PubCo and such Indemnified Parties, with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time.

-52-

(d) From and after the Effective Time, PubCo shall maintain a directors’ and officers’ Liability insurance policy, with an effective date as of the Closing Date on commercially available terms and conditions and with coverage limits customary for U.S. public companies similarly situated to PubCo. In addition, PubCo shall also purchase and maintain, following consultation with, and subject to the approval of, and at the expense of, the Company, a non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ Liability coverage of PubCo’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of Liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under PubCo’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions).

(e) The covenants contained in this Section 5.08 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the Indemnified Parties by Law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and are for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. For the avoidance of the doubt, the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to the covenants contained in this Section 5.08. From and after the Effective Time, PubCo shall pay all Costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that are incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.08, except to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a Governmental Authority with valid jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) In the event that PubCo, the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, PubCo or the Surviving Company, as applicable, shall take all necessary action so that the successors or assigns of PubCo or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.08.

Section 5.09 Reasonable Best Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Law, each of the Parties shall, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to ensure that the conditions applicable to such Party set forth in Article VI are satisfied and to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable in accordance with its terms. The terms of this Section 5.09 shall not limit the applicable rights of PubCo or the Company set forth in Section 5.04.

Section 5.10 Consents; Filings; Further Action.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, PubCo and the Company shall (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to) each use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and reasonably cooperate with the other Parties in doing all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to (i) make any necessary filings promptly after signing of this Agreement and obtain all necessary actions, waivers, registrations, permits, authorizations, Orders, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities, the expiry or early termination of any applicable waiting periods, and make all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any) and take all steps as may be reasonably necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authorities, in order to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the Termination Date, and (ii) deliver required notices or any necessary additional instruments to, and obtain required consents, waivers or any additional instruments necessary from, Third Parties in order to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the Termination Date.

(b) Subject to applicable Laws and the requirements of applicable Governmental Authorities, PubCo and the Company and their respective counsel shall (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions, including any proceeding initiated by a private Person, (ii) to the extent legally permissible, have the right to review in advance, and each shall consult the other on, any material filing made with, or written materials to be submitted to, any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, in each case regarding any of the Transactions, (iii) promptly inform each other of any material communication (or any other material correspondence or memoranda) received from, or given to, the DOJ or the FTC or any other applicable Governmental Authority, and (iv) where legally permissible, promptly furnish each other with copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications between them or their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or its respective staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Transactions. In furtherance of the foregoing and subject to applicable Laws and the requirements of Governmental Authorities, PubCo and the Company shall (with respect to any in-person discussion or meeting, remote video meeting or substantive telephonic discussion or meeting), provide the other Party and its counsel with advance notice of and the opportunity to participate in any material discussion or meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry in connection with the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.10(b), PubCo and the Company may, as each deems advisable and necessary, (x) reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 5.10 as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material;” and (y) redact materials to be provided to the other Party as necessary to comply with contractual arrangement, to address good faith legal privilege or confidentiality concerns, to comply with applicable Law, or to remove references concerning the valuation of PubCo or Company and their respective Subsidiaries.

(c) In furtherance of the undertakings under this Section 5.10, PubCo and the Company, along with their respective Subsidiaries, shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain clearance under any applicable Antitrust Laws so as to enable the Parties to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the Termination Date, which shall include using reasonable best efforts to propose, negotiate, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, disposition, license or other disposition of such of its and its Subsidiaries’ assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses, and enter into such other arrangements, as are necessary or advisable in order to avoid the entry of, and the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other Order in any proceeding by a Governmental Authority or any other Person under applicable Antitrust Laws, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the consummation of the Transactions. PubCo shall not, unless requested to do so by the Company, commit to or effect any action contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence.

-54-

(d) Each of PubCo and the Company shall consult with the other Party and consider in good faith the views of the other Party with respect to the appropriate strategy relating to any matters relating to the Antitrust Laws, including with respect to any filings, notifications, submissions and communications with or to any Governmental Authority and the nature and timing of any divestitures or other remedial undertakings made for purposes of securing any required approvals under the Antitrust Laws; provided that, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall, on behalf of the Parties, control and direct all aspects of the Parties’ efforts with respect to applicable Antitrust Laws and any authorization, consent, notice or approval to be obtained from a Governmental Authority or Third Party with respect to the Transactions, including having principal responsibility for devising, implementing, and making the final determination as to such appropriate strategy, and shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the nature and timing of any such divestitures or other remedial undertakings to the extent any such divestitures or other remedial undertakings would be conditioned upon and only be effective after the Closing. PubCo shall cooperate in good faith with the Company in the Parties’ efforts to obtain any clearance, approval, waiver or expiry or early termination of any applicable waiting periods with respect to any Antitrust Laws.

Except (a) for the Parties, (b) as provided in Section 5.08 (Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance), and (c) the rights of Covered Persons under Section 5.17, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 9.09 without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

Section 9.12 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of that provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted for that provision in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision, and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of that provision, or the application of that provision, in any other jurisdiction. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner so that the Transactions may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.13 Rules of Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. If an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Subject to and without limiting the introductory language to Article III and Article IV, each Party has or may have set forth information in the Company Disclosure Letter and PubCo Disclosure Letter, as applicable, in a section of such disclosure letter that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter or PubCo Disclosure Letter shall not constitute an admission by the Company or PubCo, respectively, that such item is material, that such item has had or would have a Company Material Adverse Effect or PubCo Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be, or that the disclosure of such be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

Section 9.14 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns. No Party may assign or delegate, by operation of law or otherwise, all or any portion of its rights or Liabilities under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 9.13 shall be null and void.

Section 9.15 Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available except as otherwise provided Section 9.15, the exercise by a Party of any one remedy hereunder shall not preclude the exercise by it of any other remedy hereunder to the extent permitted herein; provided, however, that, without limiting the ability of the Company to pursue both specific performance pursuant to Section 9.15 (subject to the terms and conditions therein) prior to a valid termination of this Agreement and payment of the PubCo Termination Fee, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of (a) specific performance pursuant to Section 9.15 (subject to the terms and conditions therein), and (b) the payment the PubCo Termination Fee. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Company seeks, but does not granted the remedy of specific performance pursuant to Section 9.16, the Company will still be entitled to receive payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.06 (subject to the terms and conditions therein).

Section 9.16 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable injury would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, and further agree that the right of specific performance is an integral part of this Agreement and without that right the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. Further, it is explicitly agreed that the Parties shall have the right to an injunction or specific performance to the other Party’s obligations to consummate the Transactions. It is further agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court of the United States as specified in Section 9.05, and the Parties hereby waive any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction or specific performance on the basis that (i) any other Party has an adequate remedy at law, or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that their respective rights under this Section 9.15 shall terminate upon the Company’s receipt of the PubCo Termination Fee.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement.

Such execution and delivery shall be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes.

Section 9.18 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against the named Parties. All legal proceedings, Legal Actions, obligations, losses, damages, claims or causes of action (whether in contract, in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to (i) this Agreement or any of the other agreements or documents contemplated hereby, (ii) the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any of the documents contemplated hereby (including any representation or warranty made in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement or any of the other agreements or documents contemplated hereby), (iii) any breach or violation of this Agreement (including the failure of any representation and warranty to be true or accurate) or any of the other agreements or documents contemplated hereby, and (iv) any failure of the Transactions or the other agreements or documents contemplated hereby to be consummated, in the case of clauses (i) and (iv), may be made only against (and are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly named as parties to this Agreement, the PubCo Voting Agreements, and the Confidentiality Agreement, and then only to the extent of the specific obligations of such Persons set forth in this Agreement, the PubCo Voting Agreements, or the Confidentiality Agreement, as applicable. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that (except to the extent named as a party, the PubCo Voting Agreements, or the Confidentiality Agreement, and then only to the extent of the specific obligations of such parties set forth in this Agreement, the PubCo Voting Agreements, or the Confidentiality Agreement, as applicable) no recourse under this Agreement, any related document or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement or any related document shall be had against any Company Related Party or PubCo Related Party, whether in contract, tort, equity, law or granted by statute whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or otherwise.
