	(d)	by any of the Company, the Shareholder or the Purchaser:

(i)

as of on or after January 1, 2024, or such later date agreed by the Parties in writing (the “Outside Date“), if the Contribution and Exchange shall not have been consummated prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this 11.1(d)(i) shall not be available to a Party if the failure of the Contribution and Exchange to have been consummated on or before the Outside Date was due to such Party’s breach of or failure to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement; or

	(ii)	if any Order having the effect set forth in Section 10.1(h) shall be in effect and shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section ‎11.1(d)(ii) shall not be available to a Party if such Order was due to such Party’s breach of or failure to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement;

	(iii)	if any of the Purchaser Shareholder Approval Matters shall fail to receive the Required Purchaser Shareholder Approval at the Purchaser Special Meeting (unless such Purchaser Special Meeting has been adjourned or postponed, in which case at the final adjournment or postponement thereof);

	(e)	by the Purchaser, in the event any Action or other matter listed on Schedule 5.15 hereto or that arises due to a breach of Section 5.15 hereto (collectively, a “CID Action or Breach”) would prevent the Purchaser from closing the Transactions by the Outside Date or would prevent the Company from delivering the certificate certifying the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 10.2(d); provided, however, any Action or other matter that arises based on an SEC delay or injunction or as a result of any Government Authority action but is not, in either case, related to a CID Action or Breach, shall not be a basis for termination under this Section 11.1(e).
