WHEREAS, the Parties anticipate that after the date hereof, certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”) will agree to make private investments in Parent (the “PIPE Investment”) in an aggregate amount to be mutually agreed by Parent and the Company (the “PIPE Investment Amount”, which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not include any amount raised pursuant to the Mudrick Subscription Agreement (as defined below)) to purchase shares of Parent Class A Stock to be consummated immediately prior to the consummation of the Transactions, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the subscription agreements to be executed and delivered by Parent and the PIPE Investors (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”).


WHEREAS, on or about the date hereof, Parent has agreed, pursuant to that certain subscription agreement dated on or about the date hereof in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Mudrick Subscription Agreement”), to issue to Mudrick Capital Management L.P. on behalf of certain funds, investors, entities or accounts that are managed, sponsored or advised by Mudrick Capital Management L.P. or its affiliates, concurrently with the Closing, Convertible Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of at least $100,000,000 up to $175,000,000 pursuant to an indenture in substantially the form attached as an exhibit to the Mudrick Subscription Agreement to be entered into concurrently with the closing under the Mudrick Subscription Agreement (the “Mudrick Indenture”), against payment for the Convertible Notes as provided in the Mudrick Subscription Agreement.

All of the shares of Company Preferred Stock, Non-Voting Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock converted into shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and will cease to exist, and each holder of Company Preferred Stock, Non-Voting Common Stock or Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, as applicable, will thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities.

(c) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of Parent Class B Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be converted into and exchanged for a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Class A Stock equal to the Class B Conversion Ratio (for the avoidance of doubt, after taking into account the Sponsor Support Agreement and the waiver of Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the Parent Charter contained therein).(d) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Company, the Company Stockholders, or the holders of any of the securities of Parent, the following will occur:

(i) Each share of Company Common Stock (including shares of Company Restricted Stock, the Company Warrants converted to Company Capital Stock in connection with the Company Warrant Exercise, shares of Company Preferred Stock converted to Company Common Stock in connection with the Company Preferred Stock Conversion and shares resulting from the conversion of notes and other securities convertible into Company Common Stock in connection with the Closing, but excluding the Excluded Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Class A Stock, with each holder of Company Common Stock having the right to receive the number of shares of Parent Class A Stock set forth opposite such holder’s name as set forth in the Payment Spreadsheet.


(ii) Each issued and outstanding share of common stock of First Merger Sub will be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, which will constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(iii) Each share of Company Common Stock held in the Company’s treasury or owned by Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (together with the Dissenting Shares, the “Excluded Shares”), will be canceled and no consideration will be paid or payable with respect thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Class A Stock will be issued upon the delivery for exchange of shares of Company Common Stock, no dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Class A Stock will be payable on or with respect to any such fractional share, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent or the Surviving Corporation. No payment will be made with respect to fractional shares of Parent Class A Stock and the number thereof will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(f) The number of shares of Parent Class A Stock that the Company Stockholders are entitled to receive as a result of the First Merger and as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement will be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, split-up, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Class A Stock), extraordinary cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Class A Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Closing.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will Parent be required to issue in connection with the Mergers or any of the other Transactions a number of shares of Parent Class A Stock (including shares of Parent Class A Stock issuable as a result of any conversion, exercise or exchange of securities of the Company) in excess of the aggregate number of shares of Parent Class A Stock issuable in accordance with the Payment Spreadsheet and the Rollover Spreadsheet and, with respect to the Escrow Shares, the applicable provisions of Article III and the PIPE Subscription Agreements.

(h) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any Party, any Company Stockholder, or the holders of any shares of capital stock of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or Second Merger Sub: (a) each share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will be canceled and will cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor; and (b) the membership interests of Second Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will be converted into and become the membership interests of the Surviving Entity, which will constitute all of the outstanding equity of the Surviving Entity. From and after the Second Effective Time, the membership interests of the Second Merger Sub will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of membership interests into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.


Section 2.07 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent will appoint Continental (the “Exchange Agent”; it being agreed if Continental will not accept such appointment, Parent will appoint another commercial bank or trust company as Exchange Agent) for the purpose of exchanging certificates representing Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) or book-entry shares representing Company Common Stock (including, with respect to such Certificates and book-entry shares, the Company Warrants converted to Company Capital Stock in connection with the Company Warrant Exercise and shares of Company Preferred Stock converted to Company Common Stock in connection with the Company Preferred Stock Conversion, but excluding Excluded Shares) and otherwise distributing to each holder of Company Common Stock (including the Company Warrants converted to Company Capital Stock in connection with the Company Warrant Exercise and shares of Company Preferred Stock converted to Company Common Stock in connection with the Company Preferred Stock Conversion, but excluding Excluded Shares) the portion of the Closing Merger Consideration issuable to each such holder of Company Common Stock.

(b) At the Effective Time, Parent will make available to the Exchange Agent the portion of the Closing Merger Consideration required to fund the payments set forth in Section 2.06(d)(i). Such shares of Parent Class A Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent will be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”. At the Effective Time, Parent will deliver irrevocable instructions to the Exchange Agent to deliver such foregoing portion of the Closing Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in the manner it is contemplated to be issued pursuant to this Article II.

(c) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent will mail to each holder of Company Common Stock (including the Company Warrants converted to Company Capital Stock in connection with the Company Warrant Exercise and shares of Company Preferred Stock converted to Company Common Stock in connection with the Company Preferred Stock Conversion, but excluding Excluded Shares): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (the “Letter of Transmittal”); (ii) instructions for surrendering book-entry shares or Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.07(f)), as applicable; and (iii) a counterpart signature page to each of the Stockholder Consent, in the case of Company Stockholders that have not previously executed and delivered such agreements to Parent or the Company (collectively, the “Surrender Documentation”); provided, however, the Exchange Agent will not be required to deliver a Letter of Transmittal to any holder of Company Common Stock that has delivered its Letter of Transmittal and Surrender Documentation, if applicable, with respect to such holder’s Company Common Stock to the Exchange Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of the completed Letter of Transmittal and the Surrender Documentation, the Exchange Agent will deliver to the holder of such Company Common Stock the portion of the Closing Merger Consideration payable to such holder in respect of the Company Common Stock held by such holder in accordance with the terms


of Section 2.06, less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.11; provided, however, if the holder of such Company Common Stock delivers to the Exchange Agent the Letter of Transmittal and Surrender Documentation, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent will deliver to the holder of such Company Common Stock the portion of the Closing Merger Consideration payable to such holder on the Closing Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter. All Certificates or book-entry shares surrendered by the Company Stockholders will forthwith be canceled. Until a Letter of Transmittal and Surrender Documentation has been received by the Exchange Agent, each share of Company Capital Stock will represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the portion of the Closing Merger Consideration payable in respect of such share of Company Capital Stock pursuant to Section 2.06. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due submission of any Letter of Transmittal or, if applicable, Surrender Documentation. As of the Effective Time, each Company Stockholder will cease to have any other rights in and to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity, and each Certificate or book-entry share relating to the ownership of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) will thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration.

(d) From and after the Effective Time, there will be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate or book-entry share is presented to the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, Parent or the Exchange Agent for transfer, it will be canceled and deemed exchanged for (without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.11) the portion of the Closing Merger Consideration represented by such Certificate or book-entry share.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Company Stockholders for one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time will be delivered to the Surviving Entity. Any Company Stockholder who has not theretofore complied with this Article II will thereafter look only to the Surviving Entity for payment of their respective portion of the Closing Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.11) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in this Section 2.07(e)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, Parent, the Exchange Agent or any other Person will be liable to any former Company Stockholder for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirements.

(f) In the event any Certificate will have been lost, stolen or destroyed: (i) upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed; and (ii) if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue the portion of the Closing Merger Consideration attributable to such Certificate (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.11).


Section 2.08 Payment of Expenses.

(a) No sooner than five (5) or later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company will provide to Parent a written report setting forth a list of all of the following fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions (together with written invoices and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof), solely to the extent such fees and expenses are incurred and expected to remain unpaid as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date: (i) the fees and disbursements of outside counsel to the Company incurred in connection with the Transactions and (ii) the fees and expenses of any other agents, advisors, consultants, experts, financial advisors and other service providers engaged by the Company in connection with the Transactions (collectively, the “Company Transaction Costs”). On the Closing Date following the Second Effective Time, Parent will pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all such Company Transaction Costs. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company Transaction Costs will not include any fees and expenses of the Company Stockholders.

(b) No sooner than five (5) or later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent will provide to the Company a written report setting forth a list of all unpaid fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by or on behalf of Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub for outside counsel, agents, advisors, consultants, experts, financial advisors and other service providers engaged by or on behalf of Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub in connection with the Transactions or otherwise in connection with Parent’s operations (together with written invoices and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof) (collectively, the “Parent Transaction Costs”). On the Closing Date following the Second Effective Time, Parent will pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all such Parent Transaction Costs.

(c) Parent will not pay or cause to be paid any Parent Transaction Costs or Company Transaction Costs other than in accordance with this Section 2.08 and Section 11.10.

Section 2.09 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, shares of Company Capital Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by Company Stockholders who will have neither voted in favor of the Mergers nor consented thereto in writing, and who will have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and otherwise complied with all provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection of appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), will not be converted into or become the right to receive, and such stockholders will have no right to receive, any consideration pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, including


the Aggregate Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares will be canceled and will cease to exist and will represent only those rights provided under Section 262 of the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares will thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive any consideration, including the Aggregate Merger Consideration, that such shares are entitled to receive under this Agreement and any other Transaction Agreement, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in this Agreement or any such other Transaction Agreement, of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Capital Stock.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company will give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company and any withdrawals of such demands, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company will not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

Section 2.10 Treatment of Company Options; Company RSUs; Company Warrants; Bridge Notes.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Company In-the-Money Vested Option granted under any Company Incentive Plan that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted (with such conversion calculated net of any applicable exercise price) into a right to receive a number of shares of Parent Class A Stock as set forth in the Payment Spreadsheet, with each holder of Company In-the-Money Vested Options to receive that number of shares of Parent Class A Stock set forth opposite each holder’s name in the Payment Spreadsheet.

(b) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Company Option that is not a Company In-the-Money Vested Option granted under any Company Incentive Plan that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be assumed by Parent and will be converted into a stock option (a “Parent Option”) to acquire shares of Parent Class A Stock in accordance with this Section 2.10(b). Each such Parent Option as so assumed and converted will continue to have, and will be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (but taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the applicable Company Incentive Plan, in any award agreement or in such Company Option by reason of this Agreement or the Transactions). As of the Effective Time, each such Parent Option as so assumed and converted will be for that number of shares of Parent Class A Stock set forth in theRollover Spreadsheet; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Class A Stock purchasable pursuant to the Parent Options will be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided, further, that in the case of any Parent Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Class A Stock purchasable pursuant to such option


will be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. As of the Effective Time, all Company Options will no longer be outstanding and each holder of Parent Options will cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Options, except as set forth in this Section 2.10(b).

(c) The Company will take all steps necessary to ensure that any Company RSU that would otherwise be vested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be settled prior to the Effective Time such that such vested Company RSUs are not outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Effective as of the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be assumed by Parent and will be converted into a restricted stock unit (a “Parent RSU”) covering shares of Parent Class A Stock in accordance with this Section 2.10(c). Each such Parent RSU as so assumed and converted will continue to have, and will be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time (but taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the applicable Company Incentive Plan, in any award agreement or in such Company RSU by reason of this Agreement or the Transactions). As of the Effective Time, each such Parent RSU as so assumed and converted will be for that number of shares of Parent Class A Stock set forth in the Rollover Spreadsheet. As of the Effective Time, all Company RSUs will no longer be outstanding and each holder of Parent RSUs will cease to have any rights with respect to such Company RSUs, except as set forth in this Section 2.10(c).

(d) Effective as of the Effective Time, after giving effect to the Company Warrant Exercise, each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) will automatically terminate in accordance with its terms and be of no further or effect as of the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing will not affect the ability of a holder of any Company Warrants to exercise such Company Warrants in connection with the Transactions pursuant to the terms of such Company Warrants.

(e) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Bridge Note and New Getaround Bridge Note that is outstanding will convert in accordance with its terms and each holder thereof will receive that number of shares of Parent Class A Stock set forth opposite such holder’s name in the Payment Spreadsheet.

(f) The Company will take all necessary actions to effect the treatment of Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants as set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the Company Incentive Plans and the applicable award agreements.

Section 2.11 Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent, the Escrow Agent and their respective Affiliates will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, any amount required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under Applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, if Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, any of


their respective Affiliates, or any Person acting on their behalf determines that any payment to the Company Stockholders hereunder is subject to deduction and/or withholding, then Parent will provide notice to the relevant payee (except with respect to amounts or items treated as relating to compensation for services for Tax purposes) as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Any amounts so withheld will be timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity.

Section 2.12 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time or the Second Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation following the First Merger and the Surviving Entity following the Second Merger with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, the officers and directors or members, as applicable, (or their designees) of the Company, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

Section 2.13 Tax Treatment of the Mergers. The Parties intend that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Mergers will constitute an integrated plan described in Rev. Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321 that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations to which each of Parent and the Company are to be parties under Section 368(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations (the “Intended Tax Treatment”) and this Agreement is intended to be, and is adopted as, a plan of reorganization for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and the 368 of the Code and within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g). None of the Parties knows of any fact or circumstance (without conducting independent inquiry or diligence of the other relevant party), or has taken or will take any action, whether before or after the Mergers, if such fact, circumstance or action would be reasonably expected to cause the Mergers, taken together, to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. The Mergers, taken together, will be reported by the Parties for all Tax purposes in accordance with the Intended Tax Treatment, including the filing of the statement required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3, unless otherwise required by applicable law as a result of a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code). The Parties will reasonably cooperate, and will cause their respective Representatives to reasonably cooperate, to document and support the Intended Tax Treatment, including providing factual support letters of the sort customarily provided as the basis for a legal opinion that the Mergers qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Earnout Targets may all be satisfied over the same period of Trading Days or any other periods that have overlapping Trading Days, and if each Earnout Target is separately met (i) the Earnout Shares and the Incentive Earnout Shares in connection with each such Earnout Target will be earned and no longer subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.01, and will be cumulative with the Earnout Shares and Incentive Earnout Shares earned prior to such time and (ii) in no event will the Earnout Recipients be entitled to receive in the aggregate more than the Earnout Shares nor will the Company Personnel receive in the aggregate more than the Incentive Earnout Shares.

(e) The issuance of the Incentive Earnout Shares in accordance with this Section 3.01 will be made under the Equity Incentive Plan and will be provided for by resolution of the Parent Board.

Section 3.02 Tax Treatment of Earnout Shares. Any issuance of Earnout Shares, including any issuance of Earnout Shares made upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event pursuant to Section 3.01(b), will be treated as an adjustment to the Aggregate Merger Consideration by the Parties hereto for Tax purposes and not treated as “other property” within the meaning of Section 356 of the Code, unless otherwise required by applicable law as a result of a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code).

Since their respective incorporation or formation, as applicable, none of Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub has conducted any business activities other than activities: (a) in connection with its organization; or (b) directed toward the accomplishment of a business combination. Except as set forth in the Parent Organizational Documents, there is no Contract or Order binding upon Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub or to which any of them is a party which has or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of it, any acquisition of property by it or the conduct of business by it as currently conducted or as currently contemplated to be conducted as of the Closing, other than such effects, individually or in the aggregate, which would not reasonably be expected to be material to Parent. Parent does not own or have a right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any interest or investment (whether equity or debt) in any corporation, partnership, joint venture, business, trust or other entity. Except for this Agreement and the Transactions, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has any interests, rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to, or is party to, bound by or has its assets or property subject to, in each case whether directly or indirectly, any Contract or transaction which is, or could reasonably be interpreted as constituting, a Parent Acquisition Transaction.

Section 5.11 Parent Material Contracts.

There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against Parent by NYSE or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Parent Units, the shares of Parent Class A Stock or Parent Warrants or terminate the listing of Parent on NYSE. None of Parent or any of its Affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to terminate the registration of the Parent Units, the Parent Class A Stock or Parent Warrants under the Exchange Act.


Section 5.13 PIPE Investment Amount. As soon as reasonably practicable after the execution thereof, Parent will deliver to the Company true, accurate and complete copies of each of the PIPE Subscription Agreements, together with any other agreements, side letters, or arrangements between Parent and any of the counterparty(ies) thereto relating to the PIPE Investment, the Company, Parent or their respective Affiliates. Each PIPE Subscription Agreement, when delivered, will be (A) a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each PIPE Investor and (B) enforceable against Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each PIPE Investor, subject to the Remedies Exception. Parent will promptly disclose to the Company the existence of any other agreements, side letters, or arrangements between Parent and any PIPE Investor relating to any PIPE Subscription Agreement that could affect the obligations of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the PIPE Subscription Agreements. The PIPE Subscription Agreements will contain all of the conditions precedent (other than the conditions contained in the other Transaction Agreements) to the obligations of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the PIPE Subscription Agreements on the terms therein.

Section 5.14 Mudrick Subscription Agreement, Mudrick Indenture and Convertible Notes. Parent has delivered to the Company a true, accurate and complete copy of the Mudrick Subscription Agreement to which the form of Mudrick Indenture (including the form of Convertible Note) is attached as an exhibit, providing for the issuance to the applicable purchasers of the Convertible Notes concurrently with the Closing, against payment of the purchase price therefor by the applicable purchasers as provided in the Mudrick Subscription Agreement. As of the date hereof, none of the Mudrick Subscription Agreement has been withdrawn or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified, in any respect by Parent, or to the Knowledge of Parent, by any of the applicable purchasers. Each of the Mudrick Subscription Agreement is (A) a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, the purchasers signatory thereto, and (B) enforceable against Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, the purchasers signatory thereto, subject to the Remedies Exception. There are no other agreements, side letters, or arrangements between Parent and any of the purchasers signatory to the Mudrick Subscription Agreement that could affect the obligations of such purchasers to pay to Parent or the Surviving Entity the purchase price for the Convertible Notes as provided in the Mudrick Subscription Agreement and Parent does not know of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in the Mudrick Subscription Agreement not being satisfied, or the net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes not being available to Parent or the Surviving Entity, on the Closing Date. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a material default or material breach on the part of Parent under any material term or condition of the Mudrick Subscription Agreement and, as of the date hereof, Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it contained in the Mudrick Subscription Agreement.

Section 5.15 Trust Account.


(a) As of the date hereof, Parent has $258,786,957.00 in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), maintained and invested pursuant to that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) effective as of March 4, 2021, by and between Parent and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (“Continental”), for the benefit of its public stockholders, with such funds invested in the U.S. Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

(b) The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified and, to the Knowledge of Parent with respect to Continental, has not been terminated, is enforceable by and against Parent in accordance with its terms, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by the Remedies Exception. Parent has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it as of the date hereof under, and complied in all material respects with, the terms of the Trust Agreement and is not in breach thereof or default thereunder and there does not exist under the Trust Agreement any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default by Parent or, to the Knowledge of Parent, Continental. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied): (i) between Parent and Continental that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Parent SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) to the Knowledge of Parent, that would entitle any Person (other than stockholders of Parent holding Parent Class A Stock sold in Parent’s initial public offering who will have elected to redeem their shares of Parent Class A Stock pursuant to the Parent Organizational Documents) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except: (A) to pay income and franchise taxes from any interest income earned in the Trust Account; and (B) to redeem Parent Class A Stock in accordance with the provisions of Parent Organizational Documents. There are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened with respect to the Trust Account. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder, Parent does have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to Parent on the Closing Date.

No material audit or other proceeding by any Governmental Entity with respect to any Taxes due from Parent is currently pending or threatened in writing against Parent.

(e) There are no Tax indemnification agreements or Tax sharing agreements under which Parent could be liable after the Closing Date for the Tax liability of any other Person, except for customary agreements or arrangements with customers, vendors, lenders and the like or other similar agreements, in each case, that do not relate primarily to Taxes.

(i) Parent has not consented to waive or extend the time in which any material Tax may be assessed or collected by any Governmental Entity (other than pursuant to extensions of time to file Tax Returns obtained in the ordinary course of business), which waiver or extension is still in effect and no written request for any such waiver or extension is currently pending.

(j) Parent will not be required to include any material item of income in, or exclude any material item or deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date or, in the case of any taxable period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date, the portion of such period beginning after the Closing Date, as a result of: (i) an installment sale or open transaction disposition that occurred prior to the Closing; (ii) any change in method of accounting on or prior to the Closing, including by reason of the application of Section 481 of the Code (or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign tax Legal Requirements); (iii) other than in the ordinary course of business, a prepaid amount received or deferred revenue recognized prior to the Closing; (iv) any intercompany transaction or excess loss account described in the Treasury Regulations under Section 1502 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state or local


tax Legal Requirements) that occurred or existed prior to the Closing or (v) any closing agreement pursuant to Section 7121 of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or foreign tax Legal Requirements entered into prior to the Closing. Parent does not own an equity interest in any entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for United States federal Tax purposes.

(m) No claim has been made in writing (nor to the Knowledge of Parent is any such claim pending or contemplated) by any Governmental Entity in a jurisdiction in which Parent does not file Tax Returns that Parent is or may be subject to taxation by, or required to file Tax Returns in, that jurisdiction, nor to the Knowledge of Parent does any such obligations exist on the part of Parent.

(n) Each of First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub were formed for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has not conducted any business prior to the date hereof and has and will have at the Closing no assets, liabilities or obligations of any nature other than those incident to its formation and pursuant to this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Second Merger Sub is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes, and no election has or will be made to treat Second Merger Sub as anything other than a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes if such election may adversely affect the Mergers from qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

Section 5.17 Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Parent for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Merger Materials will, at the date mailed to stockholders of Parent or at the time of the Special Meeting, 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent makes no representation, warranty or covenant with respect to: (a) statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Merger Materials; or (b) any projections or forecasts included in the Merger Materials.

The Sponsor Support Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each other party thereto (in each case, subject to the Remedies Exception) and neither the execution or delivery by any party thereto, nor the performance of any party’s obligations under, the Sponsor Support Agreement violates any provision of, or results in the breach of or default under, or require any filing, registration or qualification under, any Applicable Legal Requirement.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 7.01 Merger Materials; Special Meeting; Company Requisite Stockholder Approval.

(a) Merger Materials.

(i) Parent and the Company will cooperate to prepare and file, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, a registration statement on Form S-4 or other applicable form (together with any pre-effective or post-effective amendments or supplements thereto, the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by Parent with the SEC pursuant to which shares of Parent Class A Stock issuable in the First Merger will be registered with the SEC, which will include a proxy statement/prospectus to be filed with the SEC as part of the Registration Statement and sent to the Parent’s stockholders relating to the Special Meeting (such proxy statement/prospectus, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”) in order to (A) provide Parent’s stockholders with the opportunity to redeem shares of Parent Class A Stock in accordance with the provisions of Parent’s Charter Documents (such elections made by Parent’s stockholders, the “Parent Stockholder Redemptions”); and (B) soliciting proxies from the holders of shares of Parent Class A Stock to vote at the Special Meeting, by the requisite vote of Parent’s stockholders, in favor of: (1) the approval of the Transactions; (2) the issuance of shares of Parent Class A Stock in connection with Section 2.06; (3) the amendment and restatement of the Parent Charter in the form of the Parent A&R Charter; (4) the approval of the adoption of the Equity Incentive Plan; (5) the approval and adoption of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan; and (6) any other proposals the Parties deem necessary or desirable to consummate the Transactions (collectively, the “Parent Stockholder Matters”).

(ii) The Company and Parent will each use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Merger Materials when filed with the SEC to comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements applicable thereto, (ii) as promptly as practicable provide responses to the SEC with respect to all comments received on Merger Materials from the SEC, (iii) cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and (iv) keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Transactions. Parent will cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders as of the applicable record date as promptly as practicable following the date upon which the Registration Statement becomes


effective. Each Party will furnish all information concerning it and its Affiliates to the other Party and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested by the other Party to be included in the Merger Materials and will otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the other Party in the preparation of the Merger Materials and the resolution of any comments received from the SEC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company (i) agrees to promptly provide Parent with all information concerning the business, management, operations and financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, reasonably requested by Parent for inclusion in the Merger Materials and (ii) will cause the officers and employees of the Company to be reasonably available to Parent and its counsel in connection with the drafting of the Merger Materials and responding in a timely manner to comments on the Merger Materials from the SEC.

(iii) If any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Merger Materials so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information will promptly notify the other Party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information will be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by and in compliance with Applicable Legal Requirements, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company and Parent. Parent will as promptly as practicable notify the Company of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Merger Materials or for additional information and will, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, supply the Company with copies of all written correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, or, if not in writing, a description of such communication, with respect to the Merger Materials or the Mergers. Parent will advise the Company, as promptly as reasonably practicable after Parent receives notice thereof, of the time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order relating thereto or of the suspension of the qualification of the Parent common stock issuable in the First Merger, and Parent and the Company will each use its reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to the Merger Materials, or response to any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC relating to the Merger Materials, will be made by Parent without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and without providing the Company a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon unless pursuant to a telephone call initiated by the SEC.

(b) Special Meeting. Parent will, as promptly as practicable following the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective, establish a record date (which date


will be mutually agreed with the Company) for, duly call and give notice of, the Special Meeting. Parent will convene and hold a meeting of Parent’s stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters. Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters at the Special Meeting, including by soliciting proxies as promptly as practicable in accordance with Applicable Legal Requirements for the purpose of seeking the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters. Subject to the proviso in the following sentence, Parent will include the Parent Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. The Parent Board will not (and no committee or subgroup thereof will) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the Parent Recommendation (a “Change in Recommendation”); provided, that the Parent Board may make a Change in Recommendation if it determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to make a Change in Recommendation would constitute a breach of the directors’ fiduciary obligations to Parent’s stockholders under Applicable Legal Requirements. Parent agrees that its obligation to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting for the purpose of seeking approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters will not be affected by any Change in Recommendation, and Parent agrees to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting and submit for the approval of its stockholders the matters contemplated by the Proxy Statement as contemplated by this Section 7.01(b), regardless of whether there will have occurred any Change in Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent will be entitled to postpone or adjourn the Special Meeting: (i) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement that the Parent Board has determined in good faith is required by Applicable Legal Requirements is disclosed to Parent’s stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Parent’s stockholders prior to the Special Meeting; (ii) if, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient shares of Parent Class A Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Special Meeting; or (iii) in order to solicit additional proxies from stockholders for purposes of obtaining approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters; provided, however, that in the event of a postponement or adjournment pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Special Meeting will be reconvened as promptly as practicable following such time as the matters described in such clauses have been resolved.

(c) Company Requisite Stockholder Approval; Information Statement. The Company will (i) obtain and deliver to Parent the Company Requisite Stockholder Approval, (A) in the form of the Stockholder Consent executed by each of the Company Holders, and (B) in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Charter Documents, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than forty-eight (48) hours after the execution of this Agreement), and (ii) take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the Company Requisite Stockholder Approval within forty-eight (48) hours after the execution of this Agreement and, if applicable, any additional consents or approvals of its stockholders related thereto. As promptly as practicable following the receipt of the Company Requisite Stockholder Approval and the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Securities Act, the Company will deliver an Information


Statement, in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent (the “Information Statement”), to all Company Stockholders (other than the Company Stockholders who executed the Stockholder Consent), pursuant to which the Company will solicit from such Company Stockholders the Letter of Transmittal and the Surrender Documentation. The Company will promptly deliver to Parent copies of the executed Letter of Transmittal and Surrender Documentation upon receipt thereof from any Company Stockholder pursuant to such solicitation. The Information Statement will contain (i) the unanimous recommendation of the Company Board that the Company Stockholders, approve the Mergers, this Agreement and the other Transactions, and (ii) the notices required by the DGCL, including Section 228(e) of the DGCL. The Company will procure affirmative elections from the holders of all Company Warrants and take all action necessary or advisable to effect the exercise of all Company Warrants for Company Capital Stock in accordance with their terms prior to the Closing (the “Company Warrant Exercise”) with respect to all Company Warrants so that there are no Company Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including, if necessary, securing any additional consents or approvals of the holders of Company Warrants related thereto.

(d) PCAOB Audited Financials. As promptly as practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall deliver true and complete copies of the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the related audited consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company for the year then ended, each audited in accordance with the auditing standards of the PCAOB (collectively, the “PCAOB Audited Financials”); provided, that at such time, PCAOB Audited Financials shall not be required to include an unqualified (except with respect to material weaknesses) audit report / opinion thereon from the auditor, which such unqualified audit report / opinion shall be delivered immediately prior to the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC together.

(e) The Company shall, from the date hereof until the Closing Date, prepare and deliver to Parent, as promptly as reasonably practicable and no later than seventy-five (75) calendar days after the end of any fiscal quarter, the unaudited combined balance sheet of the Company as of the end of such fiscal quarter and the related unaudited combined statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows of the Company for such fiscal quarter, together with comparable financial statements for the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal years, in each case, to the extent required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement (including the Proxy Statement) (collectively, the “Subsequent Unaudited Company Financial Statements”). The Subsequent Unaudited Company Financial Statements shall be prepared from the books and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may otherwise be required under GAAP) and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including the requirements of Regulation S-X. The Subsequent Unaudited Company Financial Statements shall have been reviewed by the independent accountant for the Company in accordance with the procedures specified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) in AU Section 722 and each of the Subsequent Unaudited Company Financial Statements shall be accompanied by an audit report, without qualification or exception from the independent accountant for the Company.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries will propose, negotiate, effect or agree to, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any assets or businesses of the Company or its Subsidiaries or otherwise take any action that limits the freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain any of the businesses, product lines or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such action is conditioned on the Closing and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.06 No Parent Securities Transactions. Neither the Company nor any of its controlled Affiliates, directly or indirectly, will engage in any transactions involving the securities of Parent prior to the time of the making of a public announcement regarding all of the material terms of the business and operations of the Company and the Transactions. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to require each of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, contractors, associates, clients, customers and representatives, to comply with the foregoing requirement.

Section 7.07 No Claim Against Trust Account. The Company acknowledges that Parent has established the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders, which holds proceeds of its initial public offering. For and in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company, for itself and its Affiliates it has the authority to bind, hereby agrees it does not now and will not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets in the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to (i) Parent’s public stockholders upon the redemption of their shares and (ii) the underwriters of Parent’s initial public offering in respect of their deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account, in each case as set forth in the Trust Agreement (collectively, the “Trust Distributions”)), and hereby waives any claims it has or may have at any time solely against the Trust Account (including the Trust Distributions) as a result of, or arising out of, any discussions or Contracts (including this Agreement) between Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including the Trust Distributions) for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that (a) nothing herein will serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against Parent for (i) legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account or (ii) specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (including a claim for Parent to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Parent Stockholder Redemptions) to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement


and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect Parent’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Parent Stockholder Redemptions and (b) nothing herein will serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future against Parent’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account (except any such funds released in order to effectuate the Parent Stockholder Redemptions) and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds). The Company agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Parent to induce Parent to enter in this Agreement, and the Company further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Company and its Affiliates it has the authority to bind under Applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent the Company or any of its respective Affiliates that it has the authority to bind commences any Legal Proceeding against Parent or any of its Affiliates based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Parent or its Representatives, which Legal Proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Parent or its Representatives, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company and its Affiliates’ sole remedy will be against assets of Parent not in the Trust Account and that such claim will not permit the Company or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including the Trust Distributions) or any amounts contained in the Trust Account while in the Trust Account. This Section 7.07 will survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Section 7.08 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, Parent will adopt, subject to approval of the stockholders of Parent: (i) an equity incentive plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) (in such form as is mutually agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either Parent or the Company, as applicable)), which will provide for awards for a number of shares of Parent Class A Stock equal to (1) ten percent (10%) of the Parent Class A Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately following the Effective Time, plus (2) the Incentive Earnout Shares Pool, plus (3) any unissued shares subject to any Parent Option and any Parent RSU that is canceled, forfeited or otherwise expires, plus (4) any shares that are issued pursuant to any Parent Option that are forfeited due to the failure to vest or repurchased at the original purchase price paid for the shares, plus (5) any shares of Parent Class A Stock issued in relation to any shares of Company Restricted Stock that are forfeited due to the failure to vest or repurchased at the original purchase price paid for the shares, plus (6) any shares which are retained upon exercise of any Parent Option or settlement of any Parent RSU in order to satisfy the exercise or purchase price for such award or any withholding taxes due with respect to such award (in each case, as applicable), which share reserve will automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year of Parent beginning with the 2023 fiscal year through and including the first day of the 2032 fiscal year by a number of shares equal to the lesser of (A) five percent (5%) of the shares of Parent Class A Stock issued and outstanding on the first day of the applicable fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Parent Board; and (ii) an employee stock purchase plan (the “Employee Stock Purchase Plan”) (in such form as is mutually agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or


delayed by either Parent or the Company, as applicable)), which Employee Stock Purchase Plan will provide for a number of shares of Parent Class A Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the plan equal to two percent (2%) of the Parent Class A Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately following the Effective Time, which share reserve will automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year of Parent beginning with the 2023 fiscal year through and including the first day of the 2032 fiscal year by a number of shares equal to the lesser of (A) one percent (1%) of the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding on the first day of the applicable preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Parent Board. Within seven (7) Business Days following the expiration of the sixty (60)-day period following the date Parent has filed current Form 10 information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company, Parent will file an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or other applicable form) with respect to Parent Class A Stock issuable under the Equity Incentive Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

(b) For purposes of clarity, all Parent Options and Parent RSUs will remain subject to the Company Incentive Plan, on an as-converted basis, for so long as such Parent Options and Parent RSUs are outstanding pursuant to their terms and the terms of the Company Incentive Plan. Shares subject to Parent Options and Parent RSUs will be added to, and will become available for issuance pursuant to, the Equity Incentive Plan to the extent provided by Section 7.08(a) above.

(c) Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation or its applicable Subsidiary to provide the employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries who remain employed immediately after the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”) credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and determining the level of benefits, as applicable, under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding any retiree health plans or programs, defined benefit retirement plans or programs or any new awards under any new equity compensation plans or programs) for service accrued or deemed accrued prior to the Effective Time with the Company or any Company Subsidiary; provided, however, that such crediting of service will not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of any such benefit. In addition, subject to the terms of all governing documents, Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause to be waived any eligibility waiting periods, any evidence of insurability requirements and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations under each of the employee benefit plans established or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries that cover the Continuing Employees or their dependents, and (ii) cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, during the portion of the plan year in which the Closing occurs, under those health and welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employee currently participates to be taken into account under those health and welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employee participates subsequent to the Closing Date for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance, and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year. Following the Closing, Surviving Corporation will honor all accrued but unused vacation and other paid time off of the Continuing Employees that existed immediately prior to the Closing with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing occurs.


(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Party acknowledges and agrees that all provisions contained in this Section 7.08 are included for the sole benefit of Parent and the Company, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, (i) will be construed to establish, amend, or modify any employee benefit plan, program, policy, arrangement or Contract, (ii) will limit the right of Parent, the Company or their respective Affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, program, policy, arrangement or Contract following the Closing Date, or (iii) will confer upon any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (including any equityholder, any current or former director, manager, officer, employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any participant in any Company Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, program, policy, arrangement or Contract (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof)), any right to continued or resumed employment or recall, any right to compensation or benefits, or any third-party beneficiary or other right of any kind or nature whatsoever.

Section 7.09 Disclosure of Certain Matters. During the period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Closing, each of Parent, and the Company will as promptly as reasonably practicable provide the other Parties with written notice of (a) any event, development or condition of which they have Knowledge (i) that is reasonably likely to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII not to be satisfied or cause the fulfillment of those conditions to be materially delayed or (ii) that would require any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, and (b) receipt of any notice or other communication (i) from any Governmental Entity in connection with any Approval that would reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (ii) that any Company Material Contract set forth in Sections 4.19(a)(i), (x) or (xxiv) of the Company Disclosure Letter has been terminated (or such termination has been threatened) or any material modifications or amendments have been made to any Company Material Contract set forth in Sections 4.19(a) (i), (x) or (xxiv) of the Company Disclosure Letter (or if any such material modification or amendment has been proposed); provided, however, no such notification or the failure to provide such notification will, in and of itself, effect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, rights or remedies, or the conditions to the obligations of, the Parties or result, in and of itself, in the failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII.

Section 7.10 Securities Listing. Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Class A Stock issued in connection with the Transactions to be approved for listing on NYSE at Closing. During the period from the date hereof until the Closing, Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Parent Class A Stock and Parent Warrants listed for trading on NYSE. After the Closing, Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing for trading of the Parent Class A Stock and Parent Warrants on NYSE.

Section 7.11 No Solicitation.


(a) During the period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Closing, the Company will not, and will direct its Subsidiaries, its and its Subsidiaries’ respective directors and executive officers, the Company Parties and the Company’s financial advisors (collectively, the “Directed Parties”) not to, and will direct its other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate or cooperate with any inquiries regarding, or the submission or announcement by any Person (other than Parent or its Subsidiaries) of, any indication of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company Business Combination; (ii) furnish any information regarding the Company in connection with, for the purpose of soliciting, initiating, encouraging or facilitating, or in response to, a Company Business Combination or any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Company Business Combination; (iii) engage in or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Parent or its Representatives) with respect to any Company Business Combination or any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Company Business Combination; or (iv) approve, adopt, endorse, recommend or enter into, or propose to approve, adopt, endorse, recommend or enter into, any letter of intent or similar document, agreement, commitment, or agreement in principle with respect to any Company Business Combination. If the Company receives a Company Business Combination or any inquiry or request for information with respect to a Company Business Combination or that is reasonably likely to lead to a Company Business Combination, then the Company will promptly (and in no event later than seventy-two (72) hours after its receipt of such Company Business Combination or request) notify Parent in writing of such Company Business Combination or request (which notification will include the identity of the Person making or submitting such request or Company Business Combination and a copy of any such written request or proposal (or, if not in writing, the material terms and conditions thereof). Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will, and will instruct each of its Affiliates and its and their respective directors and executive officers, and will instruct and use reasonable best efforts to cause the Directed Parties and any other Person whom the Company knows or reasonably should know would otherwise be in a position to commit a violation of the restrictions contained in the Section 7.11(a) to immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitation of, or discussions or negotiations with, any Person (other than Parent and its Representatives) relating to any Company Business Combination made on or prior to the date hereof; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations described in this sentence shall not be deemed to apply to Family Member Affiliates of the Directed Parties. Any violation of or the taking of any actions materially inconsistent with the restrictions contained in this Section 7.11(a) by any of the Company’s Representatives of which the Company has actual knowledge will be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.11(a) by the Company.

(b) During the period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Closing, Parent will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ respective directors, officers and employees not to, and will direct its other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate or cooperate with any


inquiries regarding, or the submission or announcement by any Person (other than Company or its Subsidiaries) of, any indication of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Parent Business Combination; (ii) furnish any information regarding Parent in connection with, for the purpose of soliciting, initiating, encouraging or facilitating, or in response to, a Parent Business Combination or any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Parent Business Combination; (iii) engage in or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Company or its Representatives) with respect to any Parent Business Combination or any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Parent Business Combination; or (iv) approve, adopt, endorse, recommend or enter into, or propose to approve, adopt, endorse, recommend or enter into, any letter of intent or similar document, agreement, commitment, or agreement in principle with respect to any Parent Business Combination; provided, that (i) the foregoing will not restrict Parent from responding to unsolicited inbound bona fide written inquiries received after the date hereof that did not result from a breach of this Section 7.11 if the Parent Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would violate its fiduciary duties under Applicable Legal Requirements, and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.11(b) shall limit the rights of any Representative or Affiliate of Parent, including Sponsor (subject to the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement), or any of its Representatives with respect to any transaction involving any Person (other than Parent) and any other Person (other than the Company), including any business combination involving a special purpose acquisition company that is not the Parent.

(c) If Parent receives a Parent Business Combination or any inquiry or request for information with respect to a Parent Business Combination or that is reasonably likely to lead to a Parent Business Combination, then Parent will promptly (and in no event later than seventy-two (72) hours after its receipt of such Parent Business Combination or request) notify Company in writing of such Parent Business Combination or request (which notification will, unless expressly prohibited by a confidentiality agreement in effect as of the date hereof, include the identity of the Person making or submitting such request or Parent Business Combination and a copy of any such written request or proposal (or, if not in writing, the material terms and conditions thereof)). Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent will, and will cause each of its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers and employees, and will instruct and use reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitation of, or discussions or negotiations with, any Person (other than Company and its Representatives) relating to any Parent Business Combination made on or prior to the date hereof. Any violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 7.11(b) by any of Parent’s Representatives will be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.11(b) by Parent.

Section 7.12 Trust Account. Upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at the Closing) and provision of notice thereof to Continental (which notice Parent will provide to


Continental in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement): (a) in accordance with and pursuant to the Trust Agreement, at the Closing, Parent (i) will cause the documents, opinions and notices required to be delivered to Continental pursuant to the Trust Agreement to be so delivered, including providing Continental with the Trust Termination Letter, and (ii) will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Continental to, and Continental will thereupon be obligated to, distribute the proceeds from the Trust Account as directed in the Trust Termination Letter, including all amounts payable (A) to stockholders who elect to have their Parent Class A Stock converted to cash in accordance with the provisions of Parent Organizational Documents, (B) for income tax or other tax obligations of Parent prior to Closing, (C) for any Parent Transaction Costs, and (D) as repayment of loans and reimbursement of expenses to directors, officers and stockholders of Parent; and (b) thereafter, the Trust Account will terminate, except as otherwise provided therein.

Section 7.13 Directors and Officers Liability Insurance.

(a) Parent and the Company agree that for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, Parent and the Company will, and will cause the Group Companies to, maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions in favor of any individual who, at or prior to the Closing, was a director, officer, employee or agent of Parent, the Company or any other Group Company, as the case may be, or who, at the request of Parent, the Company or any other Group Company, as the case may be, served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, a “D&O Indemnified Party”), of Parent’s and the Group Companies’ respective Charter Documents as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date or in any indemnification agreements of Parent or any Group Company, on the one hand, with any D&O Indemnified Party, on the other hand, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, and Parent and the Company will, and will cause the Group Companies to, not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Party; provided, however, all rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any Legal Proceedings pending or asserted or any claim made within such period will continue until the disposition of such Legal Proceeding or resolution of such claim.

(b) At or prior to the Closing, Parent will purchase a “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “D&O Tail”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing covering each such Person that is a director or officer of Parent or a Group Company currently covered by a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of Parent or one or more Group Companies, respectively, on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than those of such applicable policy in effect on the date hereof for the six (6)-year period following the Closing; provided, however, that in no event will Parent be required to expend on the premium thereof in excess of 300 % of the aggregate annual premiums currently payable by Parent and the Group Companies with respect to such current policies (the “Premium Cap”); provided, further, if such minimum coverage under any such D&O Tail is or


becomes not available at the Premium Cap, then any such D&O Tail will contain the maximum coverage available at the Premium Cap. Parent will maintain the D&O Tail in full force and effect for its full term and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Group Companies, as applicable, and no other party will have any further obligation to purchase or pay for such insurance pursuant to this Section 7.13(b).

(c) The rights of each D&O Indemnified Party hereunder will be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Person may have under the Parent Organizational Documents or the Charter Documents any Group Company, any other indemnification arrangement, any Legal Requirement or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Group Companies under this Section 7.13 will not be terminated or modified after the Closing in such a manner as to materially and adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party without the consent of such D&O Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 7.13 will survive the Closing and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 7.13.

(d) If Parent or, after the Closing, any Group Company, or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or such Group Company, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.13.

Section 7.14 280G Approval. To the extent that any “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) has the right to receive any payments or benefits that could be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code and the regulations thereunder), then, the Company will: (a) no later than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from each such “disqualified individual” a waiver of such disqualified individual’s rights to some or all of such payments or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) so that any remaining payments and/or benefits will not be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder); and (b) no later than three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, with respect to each individual who agrees to the waiver described in clause (a), submit to a vote of holders of the equity interests of the Company entitled to vote on such matters, in the manner required under Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, along with adequate disclosure intended to satisfy such requirements (including Q&A 7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such regulations), the right of any such “disqualified individual” to receive the Waived 280G Benefits. Prior to, and in no event later than four (4) days prior to soliciting such waivers and approval, the Company will provide drafts of such waivers and approval materials to Parent for its reasonable review and comment, and the Company will consider in good faith and incorporate any such comments. No later than seven (7) days prior to soliciting the waivers, the Company will provide Parent with the calculations and related documentation to determine whether and to what extent the vote described in this Section 7.14 is necessary


in order to avoid the imposition of Taxes under Section 4999 of the Code. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to Parent evidence that a vote of the stockholders of the Company was solicited in accordance with the foregoing and whether the requisite number of votes of the stockholders of the Company was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits or that the vote did not pass and the Waived 280G Benefits will not be paid or retained.

Section 7.15 Tax Matters.

(a) Parent covenants that it will file a consolidated U.S. federal income Tax Return with the applicable Group Companies for the period starting on the day following the Closing Date and, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the applicable Group Companies will become members of the affiliated group of corporations of which Parent is the common parent or of which Parent is a member on the day following the Closing Date.

(b) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, excise, recording, registration value added and other such similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) that become payable in connection with or by reason of the execution of this Agreement and the Transactions will be borne and paid by the Parent. Parent will timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and the Company Securityholders and Parent will reasonably cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

(c) On the Closing Date, the Company will provide Parent with certificates on behalf of the Company, prepared in a manner consistent and in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2), 1.1445-2(c)(3) and 1.897-2(h), as applicable, certifying that the Company is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445 of the Code and that interests in the Company are not United States real property interests within the meaning of Sections 897 and 1445 of the Code; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Parent’s sole remedy in the event the Company fails to deliver such certificate will be to make a proper withholding of Tax to the extent required by Applicable Legal Requirements. After the Closing, Second Merger Sub, as successor to the Company and on behalf of the Company, will mail to the Internal Revenue Service a copy of the certification provided pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(c)(3) and 1.897-2(h) together with the notice and information required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h) in accordance with the provisions of and within the time frames provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h).

(d) Parent and the Company hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). From the date hereof through the Closing, and following the Closing, the Parties will not, and will not permit or cause their respective Affiliates to, take any action, or knowingly fail to take any action, which action or failure to act prevents or impedes, or would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede, the Mergers from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.


(e) Second Merger Sub will be classified as an entity disregarded as separate from Parent for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and any comparable provision of state or local tax Legal Requirements) for all taxable periods since the date of its formation and the Parties will not take any position or action contrary thereto, including following the Mergers.

(f) All Tax sharing agreements or similar arrangements with respect to or involving any Group Company (other than any agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business and not primarily concerning Taxes or any agreement the only parties to which are Group Companies) will be terminated prior to the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, none of the Group Companies will be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder for amounts due in respect of periods ending on or before the Closing Date, and there will be no continuing obligation after the Closing Date to make any payments under any such agreements or arrangements.

(g) To the extent that the Escrow Shares are disbursed from the Escrow Account and issued to the PIPE Investors in accordance with, and pursuant to the terms of the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the Parties intend that such issuances will be treated for U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax purposes as a non-taxable purchase price adjustment to the numbers and amounts of shares purchased by such PIPE Investors pursuant to such PIPE Subscription Agreements. To the extent that the Escrow Shares are disbursed from the Escrow Account and issued to the Non-Redeeming Parent Stockholders in respect of their Parent Class A Stock, the Parties intend that such issuances will be treated for U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax purposes as distributions of stock by the Parent which are exempt from gross income pursuant to Section 305(a) of the Code, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law as a result of distributions made by the Company after the Effective Time that are subject to Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-3. To the extent that the Escrow Shares are disbursed from the Escrow Account and issued to the Company Stockholders, the Parties intend that such issuances will be treated for U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax purposes in the same manner as the issuances of Earnout Shares described in Section 3.02. Prior to the time that any of the Escrow Shares are disbursed from the Escrow Account, the Parties intend that such Escrow Shares will be treated for U.S. federal and applicable state and local tax purposes as not yet having been issued by the Parent. Each of the Parties agrees to prepare and file all Tax Returns, and to cause their respective Affiliates to prepare and file all Tax Returns, in a manner which is consistent with the intentions described in this paragraph, except as may otherwise be required by a determination pursuant to Section 1313 of the Code.

Section 7.16 [RESERVED].

Section 7.17 Mudrick Subscription Agreement, Mudrick Indenture and Convertible Notes.

(a) Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Company (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Parent will not permit any material amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver (in whole or in part) or provide consent to (including consent to termination), of any provision or remedy under, or any replacements of, any of the Mudrick Subscription Agreement or the form of Mudrick


Indenture (including the form of Convertible Note) attached as an exhibit to the Mudrick Subscription Agreement. Parent will take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Mudrick Subscription Agreement on the terms and conditions described therein, including maintaining in effect the Mudrick Subscription Agreement and using its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to Parent in the Mudrick Subscription Agreement and otherwise comply with its obligations thereunder; and (ii) in the event that all conditions to the applicable purchasers’ obligations to pay the purchase price of the Convertible Notes as provided in the Mudrick Subscription Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing of the Transactions) have been satisfied, consummate the transactions contemplated by the Mudrick Subscription Agreement at or prior to Closing; enforce its rights under the Mudrick Subscription Agreement in the event that all conditions to the purchasers’ obligations to pay the purchase price of the Convertible Notes to Parent or the Surviving Entity as provided in the Mudrick Subscription Agreement (other than conditions that Parent or any of its Affiliates control the satisfaction of and other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing of the Transactions) have been satisfied.

Section 9.03 Fundamental Breach Compensation. The Parties mutually acknowledge the unique nature of Parent and its structure as a special purpose acquisition company, including, but not limited to, the provisions of its Charter that require it to cease all operations and liquidate its assets if it has not completed a business combination transaction within 24 months of its initial public offering. In light of the inherent difficulty of measuring the actual damages that Parent would suffer as a result of a Fundamental Breach, the Parties have mutually agreed that the Fundamental Breach Compensation Amount represents the Parties’ reasonable estimate of the irreparable damages that Parent would sustain from a Fundamental Breach. Accordingly, the Company agrees to pay the Fundamental Breach Compensation Amount to Parent or its designee by wire transfer of same day funds as liquidated damages, if (i) Parent terminates this Agreement as a result of a Fundamental Breach by the Company, or (ii) during the Parent Operating Window, the Company enters into a letter of intent or other agreement with any Person (other than Parent) with respect to a Company Business Combination that resulted from a Fundamental Breach that occurred at any time before this Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms. The Company agrees to notify each the Directed Parties of the provisions of this Section 9.03 and instruct them to comply with the obligations hereunder and in Section 7.11(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed as limiting the rights of the Parent to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief in accordance with Section 11.06 or shall be deemed to restrict or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies available to the Parent hereunder. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event will the Company be required to pay the Fundamental Breach Compensation Amount to Parent on more than one occasion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither this Section 10.01 nor anything else in this Agreement to the contrary will limit: (a) the survival of any covenant or agreement of the Parties which by its terms is required to be performed or complied with in whole or in part after the Closing, which covenants and agreements will survive the Closing in accordance with their respective terms; or (b) any claim against any Person with respect to Actual Fraud.

Section 11.04 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and any other documents and instruments and agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto: (a) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof including that certain letter agreement dated as of January 24, 2022, as amended through the date hereof; and (b) other than the rights, at and after the Effective Time, of Persons pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.13 and Section 11.14 (which will be for the benefit of the Persons set forth therein), are not intended to confer upon any other Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies.

Except as otherwise provided herein, prior to the Closing, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Party will be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and immediate injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the Parties. Each of the Parties hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other


remedy contemplated by this Agreement does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each Party hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by any other party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Company will be entitled to bring an action for specific enforcement to cause Parent to seek to enforce the provisions of the PIPE Subscription Agreements and Mudrick Subscription Agreement to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to such PIPE Subscription Agreements and Mudrick Subscription Agreement, in each case as if it were a party thereto.

Section 11.08 Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each of the Parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines jurisdiction or if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the Legal Proceeding is vested exclusively in the U.S. federal courts, such Legal Proceeding will be heard in, and each of the Parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware; provided, further, if the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware declines jurisdiction or if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the Legal Proceeding is vested exclusively in the Delaware state courts, such Legal Proceeding will be heard in, and each of the Parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of, the Delaware state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware (together with the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, the “Chosen Courts”) in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions.

above-named courts, whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise. Each Party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, and further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 11.01. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 11.08, any Party may commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit in a court other than the Chosen Courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by the Chosen Courts.

Exhibit E-1

Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

§ 262. Appraisal rights [For application of this section, see § 17; 82 Del. Laws, c. 45, § 23; and 82 Del. Laws, c. 256, § 24].

(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to §  228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation (or, in the case of a merger pursuant to § 251(h), as of immediately prior to the execution of the agreement of merger), were either: (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§  251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or

 

12


d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

(4) [Repealed.]

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the provisions of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d),(e), and (g) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with §  255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of §  114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of giving such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of giving such notice, demand in writing

 

13


from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon request given in writing (or by electronic transmission directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in the notice of appraisal), shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation (or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, the aggregate number of shares (other than any excluded stock (as defined in § 251(h)(6)d. of this title)) that were the subject of, and were not tendered into, and accepted for purchase or exchange in, the offer referred to in § 251(h)(2)), and, in either case, with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such statement shall be given to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses

 

14


of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder. If immediately before the merger or consolidation the shares of the class or series of stock of the constituent corporation as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Court shall dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal, (2) the value of the consideration provided in the merger or consolidation for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million, or (3) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of this title.

(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as provided in this subsection, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving corporation may pay to each stockholder entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock.

 

15


The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

Exhibit E-2

Chapter 13 of the California Corporations Code

CHAPTER 13. Dissenters’ Rights [1300 - 1313]

1300.

(a) If the approval of the outstanding shares (Section 152) of a corporation is required for a reorganization under subdivisions (a) and (b) or subdivision (e) or (f) of Section 1201, each shareholder of the corporation entitled to vote on the transaction and each shareholder of a subsidiary corporation in a short-form merger may, by complying with this chapter, require the corporation in which the shareholder holds shares to purchase for cash at their fair market value the shares owned by the shareholder which are dissenting shares as defined in subdivision (b). The fair market value shall be determined as of the day of, and immediately prior to, the first announcement of the terms of the proposed reorganization or short-form merger, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in consequence of the proposed reorganization or short-form merger, as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, or share dividend that becomes effective thereafter.

(b) As used in this chapter, “dissenting shares” means shares to which all of the following apply:

(1) That were not, immediately prior to the reorganization or short-form merger, listed on any national securities exchange certified by the Commissioner of Business Oversight under subdivision (o) of Section 25100, and the notice of meeting of shareholders to act upon the reorganization summarizes this section and Sections 1301, 1302, 1303, and 1304; provided, however, that this provision does not apply to any shares with respect to which there exists any restriction on transfer imposed by the corporation or by any law or regulation; and provided, further, that this provision does not apply to any shares where the holder of those shares is required, by the terms of the reorganization or short-form merger, to accept for the shares anything except: (A) shares of any other corporation, which shares, at the time the reorganization or short-form merger is effective, are listed on any national securities exchange certified by the Commissioner of Business Oversight under subdivision (o) of Section 25100; (B) cash in lieu of fractional shares described in the foregoing subparagraph (A); or (C) any combination of the shares and cash in lieu of fractional shares described in the foregoing subparagraphs (A) and (B).

(2) That were outstanding on the date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on the reorganization and (A) were not voted in favor of the reorganization or, (B) if described in paragraph (1), were voted against the reorganization, or were held of record on the effective date of a short-form merger; provided, however, that subparagraph (A) rather than subparagraph (B) of this paragraph applies in any case where the approval required by Section 1201 is sought by written consent rather than at a meeting.

(3) That the dissenting shareholder has demanded that the corporation purchase at their fair market value, in accordance with Section 1301.

(4) That the dissenting shareholder has submitted for endorsement, in accordance with Section 1302.

(c) As used in this chapter, “dissenting shareholder” means the recordholder of dissenting shares and includes a transferee of record.

(Amended by Stats. 2019, Ch. 143, Sec. 24. (SB 251) Effective January 1, 2020.)

1301.


(a) If, in the case of a reorganization, any shareholders of a corporation have a right under Section 1300, subject to compliance with paragraphs (3) and (4) of subdivision (b) thereof, to require the corporation to purchase their shares for cash, that corporation shall mail to each of those shareholders a notice of the approval of the reorganization by its outstanding shares (Section 152) within 10 days after the date of that approval, accompanied by a copy of Sections 1300, 1302, 1303, and 1304 and this section, a statement of the price determined by the corporation to represent the fair market value of the dissenting shares, and a brief description of the procedure to be followed if the shareholder desires to exercise the shareholder’s right under those sections. The statement of price constitutes an offer by the corporation to purchase at the price stated any dissenting shares as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 1300, unless they lose their status as dissenting shares under Section 1309.

(b) Any shareholder who has a right to require the corporation to purchase the shareholder’s shares for cash under Section 1300, subject to compliance with paragraphs (3) and (4) of subdivision (b) thereof, and who desires the corporation to purchase shares shall make written demand upon the corporation for the purchase of those shares and payment to the shareholder in cash of their fair market value. The demand is not effective for any purpose unless it is received by the corporation or any transfer agent thereof (1) in the case of shares described in subdivision (b) of Section 1300, not later than the date of the shareholders’ meeting to vote upon the reorganization, or (2) in any other case, within 30 days after the date on which the notice of the approval by the outstanding shares pursuant to subdivision (a) or the notice pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1110 was mailed to the shareholder.

(c) The demand shall state the number and class of the shares held of record by the shareholder which the shareholder demands that the corporation purchase and shall contain a statement of what the shareholder claims to be the fair market value of those shares as determined pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 1300. The statement of fair market value constitutes an offer by the shareholder to sell the shares at that price.

(Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 473, Sec. 2. (AB 1680) Effective January 1, 2013.)

1302.

Within 30 days after the date on which notice of the approval by the outstanding shares or the notice pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1110 was mailed to the shareholder, the shareholder shall submit to the corporation at its principal office or at the office of any transfer agent thereof, (a) if the shares are certificated securities, the shareholder’s certificates representing any shares which the shareholder demands that the corporation purchase, to be stamped or endorsed with a statement that the shares are dissenting shares or to be exchanged for certificates of appropriate denomination so stamped or endorsed or (b) if the shares are uncertificated securities, written notice of the number of shares which the shareholder demands that the corporation purchase. Upon subsequent transfers of the dissenting shares on the books of the corporation, the new certificates, initial transaction statement, and other written statements issued therefor shall bear a like statement, together with the name of the original dissenting holder of the shares.

(Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 473, Sec. 3. (AB 1680) Effective January 1, 2013.)

1303.

(a) If the corporation and the shareholder agree that the shares are dissenting shares and agree upon the price of the shares, the dissenting shareholder is entitled to the agreed price with interest thereon at the legal rate on judgments from the date of the agreement. Any agreements fixing the fair market value of any dissenting shares as between the corporation and the holders thereof shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation.

 

18


(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 1306, payment of the fair market value of dissenting shares shall be made within 30 days after the amount thereof has been agreed or within 30 days after any statutory or contractual conditions to the reorganization are satisfied, whichever is later, and in the case of certificated securities, subject to surrender of the certificates therefor, unless provided otherwise by agreement.

(Amended by Stats. 1986, Ch. 766, Sec. 24.)

1304.

(a) If the corporation denies that the shares are dissenting shares, or the corporation and the shareholder fail to agree upon the fair market value of the shares, then the shareholder demanding purchase of such shares as dissenting shares or any interested corporation, within six months after the date on which notice of the approval by the outstanding shares (Section 152) or notice pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1110 was mailed to the shareholder, but not thereafter, may file a complaint in the superior court of the proper county praying the court to determine whether the shares are dissenting shares or the fair market value of the dissenting shares or both or may intervene in any action pending on such a complaint.

(b) Two or more dissenting shareholders may join as plaintiffs or be joined as defendants in any such action and two or more such actions may be consolidated.

(c) On the trial of the action, the court shall determine the issues. If the status of the shares as dissenting shares is in issue, the court shall first determine that issue. If the fair market value of the dissenting shares is in issue, the court shall determine, or shall appoint one or more impartial appraisers to determine, the fair market value of the shares.

(Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 473, Sec. 4. (AB 1680) Effective January 1, 2013.)

1305.

(a) If the court appoints an appraiser or appraisers, they shall proceed forthwith to determine the fair market value per share. Within the time fixed by the court, the appraisers, or a majority of them, shall make and file a report in the office of the clerk of the court. Thereupon, on the motion of any party, the report shall be submitted to the court and considered on such evidence as the court considers relevant. If the court finds the report reasonable, the court may confirm it.

(b) If a majority of the appraisers appointed fail to make and file a report within 10 days from the date of their appointment or within such further time as may be allowed by the court or the report is not confirmed by the court, the court shall determine the fair market value of the dissenting shares.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 1306, judgment shall be rendered against the corporation for payment of an amount equal to the fair market value of each dissenting share multiplied by the number of dissenting shares which any dissenting shareholder who is a party, or who has intervened, is entitled to require the corporation to purchase, with interest thereon at the legal rate from the date on which judgment was entered.

(d) Any such judgment shall be payable forthwith with respect to uncertificated securities and, with respect to certificated securities, only upon the endorsement and delivery to the corporation of the certificates for the shares described in the judgment. Any party may appeal from the judgment.

(e) The costs of the action, including reasonable compensation to the appraisers to be fixed by the court, shall be assessed or apportioned as the court considers equitable, but, if the appraisal exceeds the price offered by the corporation, the corporation shall pay the costs (including in the discretion of the court attorneys’ fees, fees of expert witnesses and interest at the legal rate on judgments from the date of compliance with Sections 1300, 1301 and 1302 if the value awarded by the court for the shares is more than 125 percent of the price offered by the corporation under subdivision (a) of Section 1301).

 

19


(Amended by Stats. 1986, Ch. 766, Sec. 25.)

1306.

To the extent that the provisions of Chapter 5 prevent the payment to any holders of dissenting shares of their fair market value, they shall become creditors of the corporation for the amount thereof together with interest at the legal rate on judgments until the date of payment, but subordinate to all other creditors in any liquidation proceeding, such debt to be payable when permissible under the provisions of Chapter 5.

(Repealed and added by Stats. 1975, Ch. 682.)

1307.

Cash dividends declared and paid by the corporation upon the dissenting shares after the date of approval of the reorganization by the outstanding shares (Section 152) and prior to payment for the shares by the corporation shall be credited against the total amount to be paid by the corporation therefor.

(Repealed and added by Stats. 1975, Ch. 682.)

1308.

Except as expressly limited in this chapter, holders of dissenting shares continue to have all the rights and privileges incident to their shares, until the fair market value of their shares is agreed upon or determined. A dissenting shareholder may not withdraw a demand for payment unless the corporation consents thereto.

(Repealed and added by Stats. 1975, Ch. 682.)

1309.

Dissenting shares lose their status as dissenting shares and the holders thereof cease to be dissenting shareholders and cease to be entitled to require the corporation to purchase their shares upon the happening of any of the following:

(a) The corporation abandons the reorganization. Upon abandonment of the reorganization, the corporation shall pay on demand to any dissenting shareholder who has initiated proceedings in good faith under this chapter all necessary expenses incurred in such proceedings and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

(b) The shares are transferred prior to their submission for endorsement in accordance with Section 1302 or are surrendered for conversion into shares of another class in accordance with the articles.

(c) The dissenting shareholder and the corporation do not agree upon the status of the shares as dissenting shares or upon the purchase price of the shares, and neither files a complaint or intervenes in a pending action as provided in Section 1304, within six months after the date on which notice of the approval by the outstanding shares or notice pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1110 was mailed to the shareholder.

(d) The dissenting shareholder, with the consent of the corporation, withdraws the shareholder’s demand for purchase of the dissenting shares.

 

20


(Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 473, Sec. 5. (AB 1680) Effective January 1, 2013.)

1310.

If litigation is instituted to test the sufficiency or regularity of the votes of the shareholders in authorizing a reorganization, any proceedings under Sections 1304 and 1305 shall be suspended until final determination of such litigation.

(Repealed and added by Stats. 1975, Ch. 682.)

1311.

This chapter, except Section 1312, does not apply to classes of shares whose terms and provisions specifically set forth the amount to be paid in respect to such shares in the event of a reorganization or merger.

(Amended by Stats. 1988, Ch. 919, Sec. 8.)

1312.

(a) No shareholder of a corporation who has a right under this chapter to demand payment of cash for the shares held by the shareholder shall have any right at law or in equity to attack the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger, or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded, except in an action to test whether the number of shares required to authorize or approve the reorganization have been legally voted in favor thereof; but any holder of shares of a class whose terms and provisions specifically set forth the amount to be paid in respect to them in the event of a reorganization or short-form merger is entitled to payment in accordance with those terms and provisions or, if the principal terms of the reorganization are approved pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1202, is entitled to payment in accordance with the terms and provisions of the approved reorganization.

(b) If one of the parties to a reorganization or short-form merger is directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control with, another party to the reorganization or short-form merger, subdivision (a) shall not apply to any shareholder of such party who has not demanded payment of cash for such shareholder’s shares pursuant to this chapter; but if the shareholder institutes any action to attack the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded, the shareholder shall not thereafter have any right to demand payment of cash for the shareholder’s shares pursuant to this chapter. The court in any action attacking the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded shall not restrain or enjoin the consummation of the transaction except upon 10 days’ prior notice to the corporation and upon a determination by the court that clearly no other remedy will adequately protect the complaining shareholder or the class of shareholders of which such shareholder is a member.

(c) If one of the parties to a reorganization or short-form merger is directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control with, another party to the reorganization or short-form merger, in any action to attack the validity of the reorganization or short-form merger or to have the reorganization or short-form merger set aside or rescinded, (1) a party to a reorganization or short-form merger which controls another party to the reorganization or short-form merger shall have the burden of proving that the transaction is just and reasonable as to the shareholders of the controlled party, and (2) a person who controls two or more parties to a reorganization shall have the burden of proving that the transaction is just and reasonable as to the shareholders of any party so controlled.

 

21


(Amended by Stats. 1988, Ch. 919, Sec. 9.)

1313.

A conversion pursuant to Chapter 11.5 (commencing with Section 1150) shall be deemed to constitute a reorganization for purposes of applying the provisions of this chapter, in accordance with and to the extent provided in Section 1159.

(Added by Stats. 2002, Ch. 480, Sec. 7. Effective January 1, 2003.)

1.1 The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the Corporation has authority to issue is 1,020,000,000 shares, consisting of two (2) classes: 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”). Upon the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each outstanding share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock shall be redesignated as Common Stock.

1.2 The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of capital stock representing a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law, and no vote of the holders of the Common Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.

Section 2. The Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by the law of the State of Delaware, by resolution or resolutions adopted from time to time, to provide for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and, by filing a certificate of designation pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Designation”), to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the designation, vesting, powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights (and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof) of the shares of each such series and to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may also be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any Certificate of Designation designating a series of Preferred Stock.

- 2 -


Stock, or any series thereof, and (ii) any such new series may have powers, preferences and rights, including, without limitation, voting rights, dividend rights, liquidation rights, redemption rights and conversion rights, senior to, junior to or pari passu with the rights of the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock, or any future class or series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock.

Section 4. Each outstanding share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for their vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock).

ARTICLE V

Section 1. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, except as otherwise provided by law. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Amended and Restated Certificate or the Bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”), the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation.

Section 2. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the total number of directors constituting the Whole Board shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board. For purposes of this Amended and Restated Certificate, the term “Whole Board” shall mean the total number of authorized directors whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships.

Section 3. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, the directors shall be divided, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively (the “Classified Board”). The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to such classes of the Classified Board, which assignments shall become effective at the same time the Classified Board becomes effective. Directors shall be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board, with the number of directors in each class to be divided as nearly equal as reasonably possible. The initial term of office of the Class I directors shall expire at the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders following the date of filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate (the “Effectiveness Date”), the initial term of

 

- 3 -


office of the Class II directors shall expire at the Corporation’s second annual meeting of stockholders following the Effectiveness Date and the initial term of office of the Class III directors shall expire at the Corporation’s third annual meeting of stockholders following the Effectiveness Date. At each annual meeting of stockholders following the Effectiveness Date, directors elected to succeed those directors of the class whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors (a) each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which the director is a member and (b) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the three classes of directors so as to ensure that no one class has more than one director more than any other class.

Section 4. Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which such director’s term expires and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. Any director may resign at any time upon notice to the Corporation given in writing or by any electronic transmission as permitted by and in the manner set forth in the Bylaws. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, no director may be removed from the Board except for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors voting together as a single class. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors, (a) each director then serving as such shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which the director is a member and (b) the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from such increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes of directors so as to ensure that no one class has more than one director more than any other class. To the extent possible, consistent with the foregoing rule, any newly created directorships shall be added to those classes whose terms of office are to expire at the latest dates following such allocation, and any newly eliminated directorships shall be subtracted from those classes whose terms of office are to expire at the earliest dates following such allocation, unless otherwise provided from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board. No decrease in the authorized number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 5. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, any vacancy occurring in the Board for any cause, and any newly created directorship resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, shall, unless (a) the Board determines by resolution that any such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by the stockholders or (b) as otherwise provided by law, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a

 

- 4 -


sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which the director has been assigned expires or until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

Section 6. Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.

ARTICLE VI

Section 1. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, if the General Corporation Law is hereafter amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law, as so amended.

Section 2. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VI, nor the adoption of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Article VI, shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE VII

The Board shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws by the Board shall require the approval of a majority of the Whole Board. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation) or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock issued pursuant to any Certificate of Designation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws; provided, further, that if two-thirds (2/3) of the Whole Board has approved such adoption, amendment or repeal of any provisions of the Bylaws, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to adopt, amend or repeal any provision of the Bylaws.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 1. Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

Section 2. Special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the Lead Independent Director (as defined in the Bylaws) or the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, and may not be called by any other person or persons. Only such business shall be considered at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been stated in the notice for such meeting.

Section 3. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in the Bylaws.

ARTICLE IX

Section 1. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by or any wrongdoing by any current or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or any stockholder to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation or any stockholder in such stockholder’s capacity as such arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law, this Amended and Restated Certificate or the Bylaws of the Corporation (as each may be amended from time to time); (iv) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of this Amended and Restated Certificate or the Bylaws of the Corporation (including any right, obligation or remedy thereunder); (v) any

 

- 6 -


action or proceeding as to which the General Corporation Law confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and (vi) any action or proceeding asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. This Article IX shall not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Section 2. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Section 3. Any person or entity holding, owning or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Article IX.

ARTICLE X

If any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the maximum extent possible consistent with such holding and the remaining provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate (including, without limitation, all portions of any section of this Amended and Restated Certificate containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE XI

The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware and all rights conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to this reservation; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation) or any provision of law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of the stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Certificate of Designation), and subject to Section 1 and 2 of Article IV, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal or adopt any provision

 

- 7 -


inconsistent with this Article XI, Section 2, 3 and 4 of Article IV, or Article V, Article VI, Article VII, Article VIII, Article IX or Article X (the “Specified Provisions”); provided, further, that if two-thirds (2/3) of the Whole Board has approved such amendment or repeal of, or any provision inconsistent with, the Specified Provisions, then only the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, the Specified Provisions.

a Delaware corporation

AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS

As adopted on __________, 2022

(Effective as of ________, 2022)

ARTICLE I: STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.1: Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date and time as the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Getaround, Inc. (the “Corporation”) shall each year fix. The meeting may be held either at a place, within or without the State of Delaware as permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), or by means of remote communication as the Board in its sole discretion may determine. Any proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting, subject to the requirements of Section 1.11 of these Bylaws.

Section 1.2: Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes shall be called in the manner set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”). The special meeting may be held either at a place, within or without the State of Delaware, or by means of remote communication as the Board in its sole discretion may determine. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.

Section 1.3: Notice of Meetings. Notice of all meetings of stockholders shall be given in writing or by electronic transmission in the manner provided by applicable law (including, without limitation, as set forth in Section 7.1.1 of these Bylaws) stating the date, time and place, if any, of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting. In the case of a special meeting, such notice shall also set forth the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10), nor more than sixty (60), days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

Section 1.4: Adjournments. The chairperson of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another time, date and place (if any). Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time, date and place (if any) thereof and the means of remote communication (if any) by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record

entitled to vote at the meeting. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled special or annual meeting of the stockholders before it is to be held, regardless of whether any notice or public disclosure with respect to any such meeting has been sent or made pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof or otherwise, in which case notice shall be provided to the stockholders of the new date, time and place, if any, of the meeting as provided in Section 1.3 above.

Section 1.5: Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or classes or series of stock is required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairperson of the meeting or, if directed to be voted on by the chairperson of the meeting, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote who are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting may adjourn the meeting. Shares of the Corporation’s stock belonging to the Corporation (or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation are held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation), shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any other corporation to vote any shares of the Corporation’s stock held by it in a fiduciary capacity and to count such shares for purposes of determining a quorum. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.

Section 1.6: Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by (a) such person as the Board may designate, or (b) in such person’s absence, the Chairperson of the Board, or (c) in such person’s absence, the Lead Independent Director, or, (d) in such person’s absence, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or (e) in such person’s absence, the President of the Corporation, or (f) in such person’s absence, by a Vice President. Such person shall be chairperson of the meeting and, subject to Section 1.10 of these Bylaws, shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seems to such person to be in order. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in such person’s absence the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 1.7: Voting; Proxies. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. Such a proxy may be prepared, transmitted and delivered in any manner permitted by applicable law. Except as may be required in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, every matter other than the election of directors shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock entitled to vote on such matter that are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and are voted for or against the matter (or if there are two or more classes or series of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each class or series, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock of that class or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting voting for or against such matter).

Section 1.8: Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60), nor less than ten (10), days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at the adjourned meeting.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board and which shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed by the Board, then the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 1.9: List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The Secretary shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network as permitted by applicable law (provided, that the information required

 

3


to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting), or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is held at a location where stockholders may attend in person, the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present at the meeting. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access the list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

Section 1.10: Inspectors of Elections.

1.10.1 Applicability. Unless otherwise required by the Certificate of Incorporation or by the DGCL, the following provisions of this Section 1.10 shall apply only if and when the Corporation has a class of voting stock that is: (a) listed on a national securities exchange; (b) authorized for quotation on an interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; or (c) held of record by more than two thousand (2,000) stockholders. In all other cases, observance of the provisions of this Section 1.10 shall be optional, and at the discretion of the Board.

1.10.2 Appointment. The Corporation shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting.

1.10.3 Inspector’s Oath. Each inspector of election, before entering upon the discharge of such inspector’s duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability.

1.10.4 Duties of Inspectors. At a meeting of stockholders, the inspectors of election shall (a) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each share, (b) determine the shares represented at a meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (c) count all votes and ballots, (d) determine and retain for a reasonable period of time a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (e) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors.

1.10.5 Opening and Closing of Polls. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced by the chairperson of the meeting at the meeting. No ballot, proxies or votes, nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, upon application by a stockholder, shall determine otherwise.

 

4


1.10.6 Determinations. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted with those proxies, any information provided in connection with proxies pursuant to Section 211(a)(2)b.(i) of the DGCL, or in accordance with Sections 211(e) or 212(c)(2) of the DGCL, ballots and the regular books and records of the Corporation, except that the inspectors may consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for the limited purpose permitted herein, the inspectors at the time they make their certification of their determinations pursuant to this Section 1.10 shall specify the precise information considered by them, including the person or persons from whom they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors’ belief that such information is accurate and reliable.

Section 1.11: Notice of Stockholder Business; Nominations.

1.11.1 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

(a) Nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only: (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of such meeting (or any supplement thereto), (ii) by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice provided for in this Section 1.11 (the “Record Stockholder”), who is entitled to vote at such meeting and who complies with the notice and other procedures set forth in this Section 1.11 in all applicable respects. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or propose business (other than business included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)), at an annual meeting of stockholders, and such stockholder must fully comply with the notice and other procedures set forth in this Section 1.11 to make such nominations or propose business before an annual meeting.

(b) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a Record Stockholder pursuant to Section 1.11.1(a) of these Bylaws:

(i) the Record Stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and provide any updates or supplements to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 1.11;

(ii) such other business (other than the nomination of persons for election to the Board) must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action;

 

5


(iii) if the Proposing Person (as defined below) has provided the Corporation with a Solicitation Notice (as defined below), such Proposing Person must, in the case of a proposal other than the nomination of persons for election to the Board, have delivered a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry any such proposal, or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, have delivered a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares reasonably believed by such Proposing Person to be sufficient to elect the nominee or nominees proposed to be nominated by such Record Stockholder, and must, in either case, have included in such materials the Solicitation Notice; and

(iv) if no Solicitation Notice relating thereto has been timely provided pursuant to this Section 1.11, the Proposing Person proposing such business or nomination must not have solicited a number of proxies sufficient to have required the delivery of such a Solicitation Notice under this Section 1.11.

To be timely, a Record Stockholder’s notice must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (except in the case of the Corporation’s first annual meeting following the closing the Transaction (as defined below), for which such notice shall be timely if delivered in the same time period as if such meeting were a special meeting governed by Section 1.11.2 of these Bylaws); provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held during the preceding year or the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before, or more than sixty (60) days after, such anniversary date, notice by the Record Stockholder to be timely must be so delivered (A) no earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and (B) no later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which Public Announcement (as defined below) of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting for which notice has been given commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for providing the Record Stockholder’s notice. Such Record Stockholder’s notice shall set forth:

Each person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, legislative or any other type whatsoever (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person (or a person of whom such person is the legal representative), is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans (for purposes of this Article VI, an “Indemnitee”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith, provided such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner that the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Such indemnification shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of such Indemnitees’ heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 6.5 of these Bylaws, the Corporation shall indemnify any such Indemnitee seeking indemnity in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board or such indemnification is authorized by an agreement approved by the Board.

Section 6.2: Advance of Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in a written indemnification contract between the Corporation and an Indemnitee, the Corporation shall pay all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that if the DGCL then so requires, the advancement of such expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise.

Section 6.3: Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote or consent of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Additionally, nothing in this Article VI shall limit the ability of the Corporation, in its discretion, to indemnify or advance expenses to persons whom the Corporation is not obligated to indemnify or advance expenses pursuant to this Article VI.

Section 6.4: Indemnification Contracts. The Board is authorized to cause the Corporation to enter into indemnification contracts with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including employee benefit plans, providing indemnification or advancement rights to such person. Such rights may be greater than those provided in this Article VI.

Section 6.5: Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. The following shall apply to the extent not in conflict with any indemnification contract provided for in Section 6.4 of these Bylaws.

6.5.1 Right to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 6.1 or 6.2 of these Bylaws is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL (or other applicable law) for the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnitee for the amount claimed.

6.5.2 Effect of Determination. Neither the absence of a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in applicable law, nor an actual determination that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit.

6.5.3 Burden of Proof. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VI, or otherwise, shall be on the Corporation.

 

19


Section 6.6: Nature of Rights. The rights conferred upon Indemnitees in this Article VI shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer or trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VI that adversely affects any right of an Indemnitee or an Indemnitee’s successors shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any right or protection conferred on a person pursuant to this Article VI with respect to any Proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment, repeal or modification.

Section 6.7: Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

ARTICLE VII: NOTICES

Section 7.1: Notice.

7.1.1 Form and Delivery. Except as otherwise specifically required in these Bylaws (including, without limitation, Section 7.1.2 of these Bylaws) or by applicable law, all notices required to be given pursuant to these Bylaws shall be in writing and may (a) in every instance in connection with any delivery to a member of the Board, be effectively given by hand delivery (including use of a delivery service), by depositing such notice in the mail, postage prepaid, or by sending such notice by overnight express courier, facsimile, electronic mail or other form of electronic transmission and (b) be effectively delivered to a stockholder when given by hand delivery, by depositing such notice in the mail, postage prepaid or, if specifically consented to by the stockholder as described in Section 7.1.2 of these Bylaws by sending such notice by facsimile, electronic mail or other form of electronic transmission. Any such notice shall be addressed to the person to whom notice is to be given at such person’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. The notice shall be deemed given: (a) in the case of hand delivery, when received by the person to whom notice is to be given or by any person accepting such notice on behalf of such person; (b) in the case of delivery by mail, upon deposit in the mail; (c) in the case of delivery by overnight express courier, when dispatched; and (d) in the case of delivery via facsimile, electronic mail or other form of electronic transmission, at the time provided in Section 7.1.2 of these Bylaws.

7.1.2 Electronic Transmission. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given in accordance with Section 232 of the DGCL. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be

 

20


deemed revoked if (a) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (b) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given pursuant to this Section 7.1.2 shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of such posting and the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

7.1.3 Affidavit of Giving Notice. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given in writing or by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Section 7.2: Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver of notice, signed by the person entitled to notice, or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any waiver of notice.

ARTICLE VIII: INTERESTED DIRECTORS

Section 8.1: Interested Directors. No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its members of the Board or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are members of the board of directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board or committee thereof that authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because such director’s or officer’s votes are counted for such purpose, if: (a) the material facts as to such director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board or the committee, and the Board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; (b) the material facts as to such director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (c) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board, a committee thereof, or the stockholders.

 

21


Section 8.2: Quorum. Interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

ARTICLE IX: MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1: Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be determined by resolution of the Board.

Section 9.2: Seal. The Board may provide for a corporate seal, which may have the name of the Corporation inscribed thereon and shall otherwise be in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Board.

Section 9.3: Form of Records. Any records maintained by the Corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account and minute books, may be kept on or by means of, or be in the form of any other information storage device or method, electronic or otherwise, provided, that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time. The Corporation shall so convert any records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect such records pursuant to any provision of the DGCL.

Section 9.4: Reliance Upon Books and Records. A member of the Board, or a member of any committee designated by the Board shall, in the performance of such person’s duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the books and records of the Corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Corporation by any of the Corporation’s officers or employees, or committees of the Board, or by any other person as to matters the member reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Corporation.

Section 9.5: Certificate of Incorporation Governs. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation shall govern.

Section 9.6: Severability. If any provision of these Bylaws shall be held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, then such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the maximum extent possible consistent with such holding and the remaining provisions of these Bylaws (including without limitation, all portions of any section of these Bylaws containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the Certificate of Incorporation, that are not themselves invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the Certificate of Incorporation) shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 9.7: Time Periods. In applying any provision of these Bylaws which requires that an act be done or not be done a specified number of days prior to an event or that an act be done during a period of a specified number of days prior to an event, calendar days shall be used, the day of the doing of the act shall be excluded, and the day of the event shall be included.

 

22


ARTICLE X: AMENDMENT

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws, any alteration, amendment or repeal of these Bylaws, and any adoption of new Bylaws, shall require the approval of the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation as expressly provided in the Certificate of Incorporation.
