The Sponsor shall be bound by and comply with Sections 8.7 (Exclusivity) in respect of Business Combination Proposals, 11.12 (Publicity) of the Merger Agreement, and 8.3 (Support of Transaction) of the Merger Agreement (and any relevant definitions contained in any such Sections) as if (x) the Sponsor was an original signatory to the Merger Agreement with respect to such provisions, and (y) each reference to “Acquiror” contained in such provisions (other than for purposes of the definition of Business Combination Proposals) also referred to the Sponsor.

Section 1.2         No Transfer. Except with the prior written consent of the Company (such consent to be given or withheld in its sole discretion), during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Expiration Time, the Sponsor shall not (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer (including by operation of Law), encumbrance, dispose of, or agree to transfer, encumbrance or dispose of, directly or indirectly, file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (other than the Proxy Statement / Registration Statement) or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, with respect to any Subject Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Subject Shares or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii) (clauses (i)-(ii) collectively, a “Transfer”); provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit (x) a Transfer to an Affiliate of the Sponsor, or (y) a Transfer in connection with the Company Financing or the financing of the Merger (each, a “Permitted Transfer”); provided, further, that any Permitted Transfer shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee also agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, to assume all of the obligations of the Sponsor under, and be bound by all of the terms of, this Agreement; provided, further, that any Transfer permitted under this Section 1.2 shall not relieve the Sponsor of its obligations under this Agreement. Any Transfer in violation of this Section 1.2 with respect to the Sponsor’s Subject Shares shall be null and void. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit direct or indirect transfers of equity or other interests in the Sponsor, so long as after such transfer the Sponsor or the surviving entity thereof remains to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.3         New Shares. In the event that, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending at the Expiration Time, (a) any Subject Shares are issued to the Sponsor after the date of this Agreement pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of Subject Shares or otherwise, (b) the Sponsor purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any Subject Shares or (c) the Sponsor acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of any Subject Shares (collectively the “New Securities”), then such New Securities acquired or purchased by the Sponsor shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Subject Shares owned by the Sponsor as of the date hereof.

Section 1.4         Agreement to Vote. Hereafter until the Expiration Time, the Sponsor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, at any meeting of the stockholders of Acquiror (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of Acquiror requested by the Acquiror Board or otherwise undertaken in connection with the Transactions, the Sponsor shall appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause its Subject Shares (to the extent such Subject Shares are entitled to vote or provide consent with respect to such matter) to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and the Sponsor shall vote or provide consent (or cause to be voted or consented), in person or by proxy, all of its Subject Shares (to the extent such Subject Shares are entitled to vote or provide consent with respect to such matter):

(a)        in favor of each Transaction Proposal, including, without limitation, the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions;

(b)        in any other circumstances upon which a consent, waiver or other approval is required under Acquiror’s Governing Documents or otherwise sought with respect to the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, in favor of such vote, consent, waiver or approval (or cause to be voted, consented, waived or approved with respect thereto);

(c)        against any Business Combination Proposal or other business combination transaction (other than the Merger Agreement and the Transactions);

(d)        against any proposal, action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (A) impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify any provision of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the timely consummation of the Merger, (B) result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Acquiror or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement, (C) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article IX of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or (D) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of the Sponsor contained in this Agreement; and

(e)        to approve or authorize (or to vote against or withhold consent for, as applicable) any other matters necessary or reasonably requested by the Company or Acquiror for the consummation of the Transactions.

The Sponsor hereby agrees that it shall not commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing. The obligations of the Sponsor specified in this Section 1.4 shall apply whether or not the Merger or any action described above is recommended by the Acquiror Board or the Acquiror Board has previously recommended the Merger but changed such recommendation.

Section 1.5         No Challenges. The Sponsor agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors or directors (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry into the Merger Agreement.

Section 1.6         Closing Date Deliverables. The Sponsor will deliver, substantially simultaneously with the Effective Time, a duly-executed copy of that certain Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, by and among Acquiror, the Company and the other parties thereto, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit E to the Merger Agreement.

Section 1.7         Anti-Dilution Waiver. The Sponsor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (but subject to the consummation of the Merger) agrees that (i) shares of Acquiror Class B Common Stock held by the Sponsor shall convert into shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis in accordance with the Governing Documents of Acquiror (the “Acquiror Governing Documents”) (as adjusted to account for any subdivision (by share split, subdivision, exchange, share dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse share split, exchange, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or similar reclassification or recapitalization of the outstanding shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock), and (ii) not to assert or perfect any and all rights to adjustment or other antidilution protections the Sponsor has or will have under the Acquiror Governing Documents. The Sponsor further agrees not to redeem any Subject Shares (including any shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock received upon the conversion of Acquiror Class B Common Stock) and not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Acquiror, the Company, any affiliate or designee of the Sponsor acting in his or her capacity as director or any of their respective successors and assigns relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Section 1.7 shall constitute written consent waiving, forfeiting and surrendering any anti-dilution protection pursuant to the Acquiror Governing Documents and such waiver, forfeiture and surrender granted hereunder shall only terminate upon the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Sponsor does not waive, or agrees to refrain from asserting or perfecting any rights in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated. If the Merger Agreement is terminated, this Section 1.7 shall be deemed null and void ab initio.

Section 1.8         Further Assurances. The Sponsor shall execute and deliver, or cause to be delivered, such additional documents, and take, or cause to be taken, all such further actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary (including under applicable Laws), or reasonably requested by Acquiror or the Company, to effect the actions and consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein and herein, as applicable.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

(b)        Ownership. The Sponsor is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in the Securities Act) of, and has good, valid and marketable title to, all of the Sponsor’s Subject Shares, and there exist no Liens or any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such Subject Shares (other than transfer restrictions under the Securities Act)) affecting any such Subject Shares, other than Liens pursuant to (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Acquiror Governing Documents, (iii) the Merger Agreement, or (vi) any applicable securities Laws.

No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required on the part of the Sponsor with respect to the Sponsor’s execution, delivery or performance of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Merger Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for any consents, approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations, waivers or filings, the absence of which would not adversely affect the ability of the Sponsor to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder in any material respect, or which have already been obtained in advance of the Sponsor’s entry into this Agreement.

(d)        No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Sponsor does not, and the performance by the Sponsor of its obligations hereunder will not, (i) conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Sponsor, (ii) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) of or a default under, the loss of any benefit under, the creation, modification or acceleration of any obligations under any Contract binding upon the Sponsor or, assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) compliance with the matters referred to in Section 2.1(c), under any applicable Law to which the Sponsor or any of its properties or assets is subject, (iii) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any Contract legally binding upon the Sponsor, or (iv) other than the restrictions contemplated by this Agreement, result in the creation of any Lien upon the Subject Shares, except, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) directly above, for any such breach, violation, termination, default, creation, acceleration or change that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the Sponsor’s ability to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

(e)        Litigation.

(f)        Adequate Information. The Sponsor is a sophisticated stockholder and has adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of Acquiror and the Company to make an informed decision regarding this Agreement and the Transactions and has independently and without reliance upon Acquiror or the Company and based on such information as the Sponsor has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.

(h)        Acknowledgment. The Sponsor understands and acknowledges that each of Acquiror and the Company is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Sponsor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements of the Sponsor contained herein.

This Agreement and all of its provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time, (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 10.1 thereof (the earlier of (a) and (b), the “Expiration Time”) and (c) upon the written agreement of Acquiror, the Company and the Sponsor. Upon such termination of this Agreement, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, without any liability or other obligation on the part of any party hereto to any Person in respect hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no party hereto shall have any claim against another (and no person shall have any rights against such party), whether under contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party hereto from liability arising in respect of any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination; provided, further, that this Article III shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.2         Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of Laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 3.3         Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)        Except as specifically set forth in Section 3.5, any proceeding or Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court declines to exercise jurisdiction, any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties and any other Person seeking to enforce this Agreement irrevocably (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, (ii) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, (iii) agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and (iv) agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court.

(b)        EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY, UNCONDITIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS.

Section 3.4         Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned (including by operation of law) without the prior written consent of the parties hereto.

Section 3.5         Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement, including, without limitation, mandatory injunctions, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and seek such injunctive relief, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security or proof of actual damages, in accordance with this Section 3.5 in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement and injunctive relief (including mandatory injunctions) is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement (including mandatory injunctions) and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 3.5 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction or specific performance or have the burden of proving actual damages. Each of the parties to this Agreement consents to personal jurisdiction for any equitable action sought in the Delaware Court of Chancery or any state or federal court in any part of the world having competent jurisdiction.

Section 3.6         Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, changed, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified or terminated, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by Acquiror, the Company and the Sponsor. No failure or delay by any party hereto exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder.

Section 3.7         Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties to this Agreement further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.

All notices and other communications among the parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iv) when delivered by email (in case of this clause (iv), solely to the extent no “bounce back” or similar message is received) addressed as follows:
