(c)    Amended and Restated Section 3.01(a). Section 3.01(a) of the Business Combination Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“(a) Payment Spreadsheet. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to SPAC a schedule (the “Payment Spreadsheet”) setting forth (i) the calculation of Aggregate Transaction Consideration, (ii) the allocation of the Aggregate Transaction Consideration among the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock and Company Options, (iii) the portion of Aggregate Transaction Consideration payable to each holder of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock, (iv) the number of shares of New SPAC Common Stock that can be purchased under the Exchanged Options and (v) the allocation of the Earnout Shares among the Earnout Recipients. The allocation of the Aggregate Transaction Consideration and the information with respect to the exchange of Company Options into Exchanged Options set forth in the Payment Spreadsheet shall be binding on all Parties and shall be used by SPAC and Merger Sub for purposes of issuing the Merger Consideration to the holders of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock and conversion of the Company Options into the Exchanged Options pursuant to this Article III, absent manifest error.”

 

(d)    Insert New Section 3.06. The following new Section 3.06 of the Business Combination Agreement is hereby inserted immediately following Section 3.05:

(a)    Following the Closing, in addition to the consideration to be received pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(i), if, on the date that is nine (9) months after the Closing Date, a number equal to at least 65% of the persons that were employees of the Company as of the Closing Date continue to be employees of the Company (the “Earnout Target”), then as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) following the achievement of the Earnout Target, the stockholders of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Earnout Recipients”), SPAC shall issue an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of New SPAC Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares”) to the Earnout Recipients, which such Earnout Shares shall be allocated among the Earnout Recipients in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Payment Spreadsheet. For the avoidance of doubt, the people that were employees of the Company as of the Closing shall mean the greater of: (i) twenty (20) full time employees, and (ii) the number of full-time employees at Closing.

 

(b)   The aggregate number of Earnout Shares issuable to the Earnout Recipients shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into shares of New SPAC Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to shares of New SPAC Common Stock, occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the time any such Earnout Shares are delivered to the Earnout Recipients, if any.

 

 2 

 

 

(d)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a transaction that results in a Change of Control, then the Earnout Shares that have not been previously issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall be issued to the Earnout Recipients effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, or otherwise treated as so issued in connection therewith, so as to ensure that the Earnout Recipients shall receive such Earnout Shares, and all proceeds thereof, in connection with such transaction.

(e)   Amended and Restated Section 7.15. Section 7.15 of the Business Combination Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

Stock Incentive Plan. SPAC shall, prior to the Effective Time, approve and adopt a new equity incentive plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) to be effective in connection with the Closing, which shall be in such form as the Company and SPAC shall mutually agree. The Stock Incentive Plan shall provide for an initial aggregate share reserve thereunder equal to 11.7% of the number of shares of New SPAC Common Stock outstanding on a pre- diluted basis at the Closing.”

 

(f)    Insert New Section 8.03(i). The following new Section 8.03(i) of the Business Combination Agreement is hereby inserted immediately following Section 8.03(h):

 

“(i) Available Cash. Prior to giving effect to the payment of all Outstanding SPAC Transaction Expenses and Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses, the Available Cash at Closing shall be equal to or greater than $25,000,000; provided, that, if (i) the Available Cash at Closing is equal to $21,900,000 and (ii) Sponsor forfeits and surrenders to SPAC for cancellation 310,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(c) in the Sponsor Support Agreement, the condition in this Section 8.03(i) shall be deemed to be satisfied; provided, further, that if the Available Cash at Closing is greater than $21,900,000 but less than $25,000,000, subject to and contingent upon the Effective Time, the Available Cash Forfeited Sponsor Shares shall be reduced proportionately by such number of shares equal to (i) the quotient of (x) the amount of the Available Cash in excess of $21,900,000 (the “Excess Cash”) and (y) $3,100,000 multiplied by (ii) 310,000. By way of example, if the Excess Cash is $500,000 (i.e., the Available Cash at Closing is $22,400,000), then the proportionate reduction shall be equal to 16% of 310,000 or 50,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock, leaving a balance of 260,000 Available Cash Forfeited Sponsor Shares. Notwithstanding the condition in this Section 8.03(i), if the Closing occurs, on the Closing Date, all Outstanding SPAC Transaction Expenses and Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses shall be paid from the balance of the Available Cash in accordance with Section 3.04.”
