AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of March 26, 2018 (this “Agreement”), among WME Entertainment Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), Lion Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent, and NeuLion, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
 
WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable this Agreement, (ii) approved the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub into the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby, except as expressly provided in Section 1.07, each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive $0.84 (eighty-four cents)  in cash and (iii) in the case of Merger Sub and the Company, recommended that their respective stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement;
 
WHEREAS, prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and material inducement to Parent to enter into this Agreement, the Company has obtained the written consent from certain stockholders of the Company (the “Key Stockholders”) pursuant to which such Key Stockholders have irrevocably approved and adopted this Agreement in accordance with Sections 228(c) and 251(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), effective upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Stockholder Written Consent”);
 
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, Parent and each of the Key Stockholders have entered into support agreements (the “Support Agreements”);
 
WHEREAS, prior to or concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company Board has adopted and approved an amendment to the Company Bylaws pursuant to Section 115 of the DGCL requiring, consistent with applicable jurisdictional requirements, that any and all internal corporate claims (as defined in Section 115 of the DGCL) shall be brought solely and exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware;
 
WHEREAS, Parent has requested that, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and for the benefit of Parent following the Closing, the Company enter into letter agreements with certain employees of the Company with respect to the payment of retention bonuses to such employees following the Closing, and the Company and such employees have executed such letter agreements concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement; and
 
WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 

2
 
ARTICLE I

The Merger
 
SECTION 1.01          The Merger.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time.  At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).
 
SECTION 1.02          Closing.  The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019 at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver by the party or parties entitled to the benefits thereof of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver by the party or parties entitled to the benefits thereof of those conditions), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed in writing by the parties hereto.  The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.
 
SECTION 1.03          Effective Time.  On the Closing Date, the Company shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL to effectuate the Merger.  The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with such Secretary of State or at such other time as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).
 
SECTION 1.04          Effects of Merger.  At the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall succeed to all the properties, assets, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises and be subject to all of the debts, liabilities, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub, and the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL, this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger.
 
SECTION 1.05          Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
 
(a)          At the Effective Time, the Company Charter shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read substantially identically to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that all references in the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub (i) to its name, date of incorporation, registered office and registered agent shall instead refer to the name, date of incorporation, registered office and registered agent, respectively, of the Company as provided in the Company Charter immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) naming the incorporator(s), the initial board of directors, or original subscribers for shares of Merger Sub shall be omitted) and such amended and restated certificate of incorporation shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or permitted by applicable Law.
 

3
 
(b)          The Company shall take all necessary action such that, immediately following the Effective Time, the Company Bylaws shall be amended in its entirety to read substantially identically to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that references to the name of Merger Sub shall be replaced by the name of the Surviving Corporation) and such amended bylaws shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or permitted by applicable Law.
 
SECTION 1.06          Directors and Officers.   The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.
 
SECTION 1.07          Effect on Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub or the holder of any Equity Interests of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:
 
(a)          Capital Stock of Merger Sub.  Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
 
(b)          Cancelation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock; Company Common Stock Held by Company Subsidiaries.  Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company, each Company Subsidiary, Parent, Merger Sub and each other Subsidiary of Parent shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.
 
(c)          Conversion of Company Common Stock.  Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock (excluding shares to be canceled or to be converted in accordance with Section 1.07(b) and, except as provided in Section 1.07(d), Appraisal Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive $0.84 (eighty-four cents) in cash, net of applicable withholding Taxes and without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).  As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.08, net of applicable withholding Taxes and without interest.
 

4
 
(d)          Appraisal Rights.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”, and such shares of Company Common Stock, “Appraisal Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.07(c), but instead shall entitle the holder thereof only to those rights expressly provided by Section 262; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, then the right of such holder to receive those rights under Section 262 shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and shall represent only the right to receive, the Per Share Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.07(c), net of applicable withholding Taxes and without interest.  The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, and prior to the Effective Time Parent shall have the right to participate in and control all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make, or agree to make, any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands for appraisal or payment, or purport to waive any Person’s failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or to take any other action necessary to exercise appraisal rights under the DGCL.
 
(e)          Effect on Company Warrants.  Each issued and outstanding vested Company Warrant that has an exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such vested Company Warrant (solely to the extent vested) that is less than the Per Share Merger Consideration, shall be converted into the right to receive, with respect to each such share of Company Common Stock subject to such vested Company Warrant (solely to the extent vested), an amount equal to (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration, minus (y) exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such vested Company Warrant (solely to the extent vested). As of the Effective Time, all Company Warrants shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such Company Warrants shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except, solely with respect to the vested Company Warrants contemplated by the foregoing sentence, the right to receive the applicable cash amount set forth in the foregoing sentence, net of applicable withholding Taxes and without interest.

SECTION 1.08          Payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(a)          Paying Agent.  Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of Company Common Stock in accordance with this Article I and, in connection therewith, shall enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company.  At or promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash necessary to pay for the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive cash pursuant to Section 1.07(c) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).
 

5
 
(b)          Exchange Procedure for Company Common Stock.  As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than two Business Days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Stock Certificates”) or Book-Entry Shares which were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.07(c): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Company Stock Certificates to the Paying Agent, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as are customary and reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Company Stock Certificates and Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration.  Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to the Paying Agent for cancelation in the case of Company Stock Certificates, or receipt of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence or instruction of transfer, if any, as the Paying Agent shall reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, in each case together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Company Stock Certificate or such Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.07(c), and any Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.  In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered is registered only if, in the case of a Company Stock Certificate, if such Company Stock Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer or, in the case of a Book-Entry Share, a proper transfer instruction is presented, and in either case the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Company Common Stock or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.08, each Company Stock Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amount of cash, net of applicable withholding Taxes and without interest, into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Company Stock Certificate or such Book-Entry Share, as applicable, have been converted pursuant to Section 1.07(c).  No interest shall be paid or accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share.
 
(c)          Termination of Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed as of the 6-month anniversary of the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any former holder of Company Common Stock entitled to payment of Per Share Merger Consideration who has not theretofore complied with this Article I shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for Per Share Merger Consideration.
 
(d)          No Liability.  None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.  If any Company Stock Certificate (or an affidavit in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 1.08(f)) or Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered prior to the date on which the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such date become the property of the Surviving Corporation, subject to the claims of any former holder of Company Common Stock entitled to payment of Per Share Merger Consideration who has not theretofore complied with this Article I.
 

6
 
(e)          Investment of Exchange Fund.  The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent.  Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.  In no event, however, shall such investment or any such payment of interest or income delay the receipt by former holders of Company Common Stock of the Per Share Merger Consideration.  To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Paying Agent to promptly pay the Per Share Merger Consideration to all holders of Company Common Stock, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to make such payments.
 
(f)          Lost Company Stock Certificates.  If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Stock Certificate, the Paying Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate the Per Share Merger Consideration.
 
(g)          No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock.  The Per Share Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article I as a result of the conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock.  After the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, any Company Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.
 
(h)          Withholding Rights.  Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Company and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law.  Amounts so withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.
 
(i)          Tax Treatment.  To the extent that any part of the Per Share Merger Consideration is funded with any cash of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, such cash shall be used to redeem issued and outstanding Company Common Stock of the holders of Company Common Stock who held such shares immediately prior to the Merger, and any such redemption shall be treated as an exchange under Section 302 of the Code for all federal, state, and local Tax purposes.
 

7
 
(j)          Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, including Section 4.01, in the event that between the date of this Agreement and immediately prior to the Effective Time, there is a change in the number of shares of Company Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, subdivision, or other similar transaction, the Per Share Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted by Parent to reflect the effect thereof.

ARTICLE II
