D. In connection with the Domestication, (i) each then-issued and outstanding ordinary share, par value $0.0001 each per share, in the capital of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) shall convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Parent after its domestication as a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware (the “Domesticated Parent Common Stock”); (ii) each then-issued and outstanding right to receive two-tenths of one share of Parent Common Stock (the “Parent Rights”) shall convert automatically into a right to receive two-tenths of one share of Domesticated Parent Common Stock (each, a “Domesticated Parent Right”); and (iii) each then-issued and outstanding unit of Parent (the “Parent Units”) shall be cancelled and entitle the holder to one share of Domesticated Parent Common Stock and a Domesticated Parent Right.

E. Following the Domestication, (i) the Parties will effect the merger of Merger Sub with and into SpinCo, with SpinCo continuing as the surviving corporation and changing its name to one as selected by SpinCo in its discretion (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and (ii) Parent will change its name to “Citius Oncology, Inc.”

F. Pursuant to the Merger, shares of SpinCo Common Stock will be exchanged for shares of Domesticated Parent Common Stock, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

G.

H. The board of directors of Merger Sub has determined that the Merger and this Agreement are advisable, has approved this Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, and has recommended the approval of this Agreement and the Merger to the sole stockholder of Merger Sub.

I. Parent, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, will approve and adopt this Agreement and the Transactions.

J. The board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) unanimously has approved this Agreement and the Transactions.

K. The board of directors of SpinCo has determined that the Merger and this Agreement are advisable, has approved this Agreement and the Transactions, including the Merger, and has recommended the approval of this Agreement and the Merger to the sole stockholder of SpinCo.

L. The Company, as the sole stockholder of SpinCo, promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, will approve and adopt this Agreement and the Transactions.

M. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Parent shall provide an opportunity to holders of the Parent Common Stock to have their outstanding shares redeemed on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and Parent’s Governing Documents in connection with obtaining the Parent Shareholder Approval.

N. At the Effective Time, Parent, the Sponsor, and the other Persons named as parties therein shall amend and restate that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 13, 2022, by and among Parent, the Sponsor and the other Persons party thereto, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (as so amended and restated, and with such further changes as may be agreed in writing by Parent and the Company, the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”), to, among other things, include a six (6) month lockup on shares issued to directors and officers of the Company and SpinCo.

O. As a material inducement to the Company’s and SpinCo’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Sponsor and Parent are entering into a Sponsor Support Agreement with the Company and SpinCo (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”).

P. It is the intention of the Parties that, for U.S. federal income Tax (as defined below) purposes, the Domestication qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code, the Company, Merger Sub and Parent be parties to such reorganization (within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code) under Section 368(a)(1)(A), and this Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the regulations promulgated under the Code.

2.6 Tax Treatment of the Domestication and the Merger. It is the intention by the Parties that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Domestication qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and SpinCo, Merger Sub and Parent be parties to such Merger reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code. The Parties hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the Treasury Regulations. All of the Parties agree to cooperate and use their best efforts in order to qualify the Merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code, to not take any action that could reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to fail to so qualify, and to report the Merger for federal, state and any local income Tax purposes in a manner consistent with such characterization.

2.7 Adjustment to Parent Transaction Expenses.

(a) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation will prepare and deliver to Sponsor a statement (the “Closing Statement”) containing the actual amount of all Parent Transaction Expenses (including those invoiced following the Closing). The Surviving Corporation shall provide Sponsor with reasonable access to its books and records as may be reasonably requested by Sponsor to verify the information contained in the Closing Statement.

(b) Dispute Resolution.

(i) Within thirty (30) days following Sponsor’s receipt of the Closing Statement, Sponsor will deliver written notice to the Surviving Corporation of any dispute with respect to the Closing Statement, setting forth such disputed item in reasonable detail (a “Closing Statement Dispute”). If the Sponsor does not notify the Surviving Corporation of any Closing Statement Dispute within such thirty (30)-day period, then the Closing Statement and the determinations and calculations of the Parent Transaction Expenses set forth therein will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If Sponsor delivers to the Surviving Corporation a Closing Statement Dispute, then Sponsor and the Surviving Corporation will negotiate in good faith to resolve all disputed matters set forth in the Closing Statement Dispute. If Sponsor and the Surviving Corporation, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve the Closing Statement Dispute within thirty (30) days (or longer, as mutually agreed to by such Parties in writing) after Sponsor delivers to the Surviving Corporation notice of the Closing Statement Dispute, then Sponsor and the Surviving Corporation will mutually agree on and jointly engage an independent auditor that is experienced in such matters (the “Independent Auditor”), to promptly resolve any and all unresolved matters of the Closing Statement Dispute.

(ii) The Independent Auditor shall consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Closing Statement Dispute that are identified by either Sponsor or the Surviving Corporation as being items that Sponsor and the Surviving Corporation are unable to resolve. As promptly as practicable thereafter, Sponsor and the Surviving Corporation will each prepare and submit a written presentation to the Independent Auditor (each of which will be shared with the other party, but not until such time that both Parties have submitted their presentations) and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to make a final determination with respect to the Parties’ respective positions based upon the applicable language, definitions and Exhibits of this Agreement, and the presentations by Sponsor and the Surviving Corporation.

(iii) In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Auditor will be bound by the terms of this Agreement, will serve as an expert and not an arbitrator, and will not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. Except as Sponsor and the Surviving Corporation may otherwise agree, all communications between any party or its respective Representatives, on the one hand, and the Independent Auditor, on the other hand, will be in writing with copies simultaneously delivered to the non-communicating Party (except in such cases where both Parties are submitting a presentation). The fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor will be borne by Sponsor and the Surviving Corporation in inverse proportion, as determined by the Independent Auditor, as they may prevail on the matter resolved by the Independent Auditor. Absent fraud, all determinations made by the Independent Auditor will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Parties agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Auditor in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(iv) If the Parent Transaction Expenses (as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.7(b)) is greater than the Parent Estimated Transaction Expenses and greater than $500,000, then Sponsor will pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Parent, an amount in cash equal to (A) the amount by which the Parent Transaction Expenses exceeds $500,000 minus (B) the amount, if any, that Sponsor paid at Closing in respect of Parent Estimated Transaction Expenses.

(v) Any payment required pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) will be made within five (5) Business Days after the date of final determination of the Parent Transaction Expenses in accordance with Section 2.7(b).

(vi) Each party will reasonably cooperate with and make available to the other party and its respective accountants and other Representatives all information, records, data and working papers, and will permit access to its records, facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably requested in connection with this Section 2.7(b). including the resolution of any matters or disputes hereunder.

Article III

CONVERSION OF SHARES

3.1 Effect on Capital Stock and SpinCo Options. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any party to this Agreement or any holder of the capital stock of the Company, SpinCo, Merger Sub or Parent:

(a) SpinCo Common Stock and Merger Sub Common Stock.

(i) Each share of SpinCo Common Stock issued and outstanding and held by the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Outstanding SpinCo Shares”) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Domesticated Parent Common Stock equal to the Base Exchange Ratio, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 3.1(a)(iii), with any fractional shares of Domesticated Parent Common Stock rounded down to the nearest whole share for no additional consideration (the “Merger Consideration”). Each Outstanding SpinCo Share, when converted in accordance with this Section 3.1(a)(i), shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and the holder thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions and other amounts payable in accordance with Section 3.2(b).

(ii) Each share of SpinCo Common Stock held by SpinCo as treasury stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist and no stock or other consideration shall be issued or delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof.

(iii) The Aggregate Parent Common Stock Consideration and the resulting Base Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate to reflect the effect of any stock split, split-up, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distributions of Parent Common Stock, or securities convertible into any such securities, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock having a record date occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time; provided, that nothing in this Section 3.1(a)(iii) shall be construed to permit Parent to take or to permit any of its Subsidiaries to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(iv) At the Effective Time, all of the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) SpinCo Options. As of the Effective Time, Parent shall assume each SpinCo Option that is outstanding (whether vested or unvested) as of the Effective Time (such assumed options are referred to as the “Domesticated Parent Options”). The Domesticated Parent Options will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions) set forth in the applicable option documents (including the SpinCo Equity Incentive Plan and stock option agreement or other document evidencing such SpinCo Option) immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) each SpinCo Option will be exercisable from and after the Effective Time for that whole number of shares of Domesticated Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock subject to such SpinCo Option, multiplied by the Base Exchange Ratio, and (ii) the exercise price per share for each such share of Domesticated Parent Common Stock shall be equal to the exercise price per share of such SpinCo Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Base Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full cent). The assumption of the SpinCo Options by Parent is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.424-1 (to the extent such SpinCo Options were intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Code Section 422) and of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) (for SpinCo Options not so qualifying).

(c) Parent Securities. Each share of Domesticated Parent Common Stock, each Domesticated Parent Right and each Domesticated Parent Unit that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to and at the Effective Time shall remain outstanding immediately following the Effective Time, except to the extent as otherwise provided in the Parent Governing Documents or Rights Agreement (including in respect of automatic conversion of the Domesticated Parent Rights or redemption of the Domesticated Parent Common Stock).

3.2 Exchange Fund.

(a) At or substantially concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall issue, and shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Outstanding SpinCo Shares, for exchange in accordance with this Section 3.2, the number of Domesticated Parent Common Stock in book-entry form sufficient to represent the Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Fund”). Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to distribute, immediately following the Effective Time, pursuant to irrevocable instructions from the Parent, the Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Distributions After the Effective Time. Subject to the following sentence, no dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to Domesticated Parent Common Stock shall be paid with respect to any shares of Domesticated Parent Common Stock that are not able to be delivered by the Exchange Agent promptly after the Effective Time, whether due to a legal impediment to such delivery or otherwise. Subject to the effect of abandoned property, escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, following the delivery of any such previously undelivered shares of Domesticated Parent Common Stock, there shall be paid to the record holder of such shares of Domesticated Parent Common Stock, without interest, at the time of delivery, to the extent not previously paid, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Domesticated Parent Common Stock.

(c) No Liability. None of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable for shares of Domesticated Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto or with respect to SpinCo Common Stock) or cash properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(d) Closing of Transfer Books. From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of SpinCo shall be closed, and no transfer shall be made of any shares of capital stock of SpinCo that were outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Tax Withholding. Parent, the Company, SpinCo, Merger Sub and the Exchange Agent shall each be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are 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. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts will 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.

3.3 Appraisal Rights. In consideration of the benefits to be received by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company waives any rights to appraisal that may otherwise be available under the DGCL in connection with the Merger.

(b) There are no outstanding loans or other extensions of credit made by SpinCo to any executive officer (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) or director of SpinCo. SpinCo has not taken any action prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

5.10 Litigation and Proceedings. There are no Actions pending or, to the Knowledge of the SpinCo Group, threatened against SpinCo or the Company with respect to the SpinCo Business or affecting any of the SpinCo Assets. Neither SpinCo nor the Company (solely in respect of the SpinCo Assets) is subject to any Order (nor, to the Knowledge of the SpinCo Group, are there any such Orders threatened to be imposed by any Governmental Authority) which has materially and adversely affected SpinCo or the SpinCo Business or would reasonably be expected to materially or adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Transaction Document or the consummation of the Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to Parent, including its consolidated Subsidiaries, if any, is made known to Parent’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared.

Parent has established and maintained a system of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) that are designed to and, to the Parent’s Knowledge, are sufficient to provide, reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of Parent’s financial reporting and the preparation of Parent’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including policies and procedures sufficient to provide reasonable assurance: (i) that Parent maintains records that in reasonable detail fairly reflect, in all material respects, its transactions and dispositions of assets of Parent; (ii) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP; (iii) that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and Parent Board; and (iv) regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of its assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements.

(c) The financial statements and notes contained or incorporated by reference in the Parent SEC Filings (the “Parent Financial Statements”) (i) accurately and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Parent as at the respective dates of, and for the periods referred to, in such financial statements, all in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) comply in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements and with the rules and regulations of Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be material) and the omission of notes to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable. Parent has no off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined by Regulation S-K) that are not disclosed in the Parent SEC Filings. No financial statements other than those of Parent are required by GAAP to be included in the Parent Financial Statements.

(d) There are no outstanding loans or other extensions of credit made by Parent to any executive officer (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) or director of Parent. Parent has not taken any action prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

(e) Neither Parent (including any employee thereof) nor Parent’s independent auditors has identified or been made aware of (i) any significant deficiency or material weakness in the system of internal accounting controls utilized by Parent, (ii) any Actual Fraud, whether or not material, that involves Parent’s management or other employees who have a role in the preparation of the Parent Financial Statements or the internal accounting controls utilized by Parent or (iii) any claim or allegation regarding any of the foregoing.

6.7 No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except for the Parent Transaction Expenses, there is no liability, debt or obligation of or claim or judgment against Parent or Merger Sub (whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, or due or to become due), except for liabilities and obligations (i) reflected or reserved for on the financial statements or disclosed in the notes thereto included in Parent SEC Filings, (ii) that have arisen since the date of the most recent balance sheet included in the Parent SEC Filings in the ordinary course of business of Parent and Merger Sub, or (iii) which, individually or in the aggregate, would not be, or would not reasonably be expected to be, material to Parent.

As of the respective date of its filing (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date, then on the date of such filing), the Parent SEC Filings did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date hereof, there are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received from the SEC with respect to the Parent SEC Filings. To the Knowledge of Parent, none of the Parent SEC Filings filed on or prior to the date hereof is subject to ongoing SEC review or investigation as of the date hereof.

6.14 Trust Account. As of the date of this Agreement, Parent has at least $70,929,382 in the Trust Account, such monies invested in United States government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2022, between Parent and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified, other than to permit any Parent Share Redemptions, and is valid and in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, and no termination, repudiation, rescission, amendment, supplement or modification is contemplated. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other arrangements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Parent SEC Filings to be inaccurate or that would entitle any Person (other than the Parent Shareholders holding shares of Parent Common Stock sold in Parent’s initial public offering who elect to redeem their shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Parent’s Governing Documents and the underwriters of Parent’s initial public offering with respect to deferred underwriting commissions) 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 other than (i) to pay Taxes, (ii) to make payments with respect to all Parent Share Redemptions or (iii) to commence liquidation in accordance with and as required by the Trust Agreement (taking into account any amendments to the Trust Agreement providing for a longer period of time before the Trust Account is required to be liquidated, including, as applicable, the Second Extension, Third Extension, and Fourth Extension). There are no Actions pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened with respect to the Trust Account. Parent has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and is not in material default, breach or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the Trust Agreement, as it may be amended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default or breach thereunder. As of the Effective Time, the obligations of Parent to dissolve or liquidate pursuant to Parent’s Governing Documents shall terminate, and as of the Effective Time, Parent shall have no obligation whatsoever pursuant to Parent’s Governing Documents to dissolve and liquidate the assets of Parent by reason of the consummation of the Transactions. To Parent’s Knowledge, as of the date hereof, following the Effective Time, no shareholder of Parent shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account except to the extent such shareholder of Parent is exercising a Parent Share Redemption. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the compliance by the Company and SpinCo with its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, neither Parent nor Merger Sub has 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 and Merger Sub on the Closing Date.

Following the Effective Time, none of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates shall take any action, cause or permit any action to be taken, fail to take any action or cause any action to fail to be taken, which action or failure to act could prevent the Tax-Free Status.

(b) At and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation covenants and agrees that it:

Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (1) solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the approval of the proposals required under the Parent Shareholder Approval, and (2) take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the Parent Shareholder Approval. Subject to Section 7.4(e)(iii), neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, amend, qualify or modify its recommendation to the Parent Shareholders that they vote in favor of the Transaction Proposals.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.4 to the contrary, if, at any time prior to obtaining the Parent Shareholder Approval, the Parent Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel of the applicable jurisdiction, that an Intervening Event has occurred and that, as a result thereof, a failure to withdraw or modify a Parent Board Recommendation would be inconsistent with the Parent Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Parent Board may withdraw or modify such Parent Board Recommendation; provided that the Parent shall not withdraw or modify such Parent Board Recommendation unless (i) Parent first delivers to the Company a written notice advising the Company that the Parent Board proposes to take such action and containing the material facts underlying the Parent Board’s determination that an Intervening Event has occurred and that a failure to withdraw or modify a Parent Board Recommendation would constitute a breach by the Parent Board of its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law (an “Intervening Event Notice”), and (ii) at or after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on the fourth (4th) Business Day immediately following the day on which Parent delivered the Intervening Event Notice (such period from the time the Intervening Event Notice is provided until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the fourth (4th) Business Day immediately following the day on which Parent delivered the Intervening Event Notice (it being understood that any material development with respect to an Intervening Event shall require a new notice, but with an additional three (3) Business Day (instead of four (4) Business Day) period from the date of such notice), the “Intervening Event Notice Period”), the Parent Board reaffirms in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that a failure to withdraw or modify such Parent Board Recommendation would be inconsistent with the Parent Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law. If requested by the Company, Parent shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, during the Intervening Event Notice Period, engage in good faith negotiations with the Company and its Representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so as to obviate the need for any withdrawal or modification of such Parent Board Recommendation.

No party hereto shall take any action without the other party’s consent that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect or materially delay (including by entering into a timing agreement), and each party hereto shall diligently pursue, the approval of any Governmental Authority of any required filings or applications under Antitrust Laws.

(c) In furtherance of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 7.5 (i) if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the Merger as violative of any Antitrust Law, each of the parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction, or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that results from such action or proceeding and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Merger on or before the Outside Date and (ii) Parent and the Company each shall use reasonable best efforts to take such further action as may be necessary to avoid or eliminate promptly each impediment under any Antitrust Law so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date); provided, that neither Parent nor the Company shall be required to take any action under this Section 7.5 that would materially impact Parent’s or the Company’s expected benefits resulting from the Transactions.

(d) Parent and the Company shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all filings, notifications, communications, submissions, and any other actions pursuant to this Section 7.5, and, subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental Authority, Parent and the Company shall keep each other apprised on a current basis of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Transactions, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by Parent and the Company, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, from any third party or any Governmental Authority with respect to such Transactions. Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, Parent and the Company shall permit counsel for the other party reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed notifications or filings and any substantive written communications or submissions to any Governmental Authority; provided, that materials may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of SpinCo or information concerning the Transaction Process, or proposals from third parties with respect thereto, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual agreements, and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns.

9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without any Liability on the part of any Party; provided, that no such termination shall relieve any Party of any liability or damages resulting from Actual Fraud or Willful Breach; provided, further, that Section 7.6(b), Section 7.16(b)(ii), this Section 9.2, Section 9.3, Section 9.4 and Article X hereof shall survive any termination of this Agreement. The Confidentiality Agreement shall not be affected by any termination of this Agreement.

9.3 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(h), at or prior to such termination, the Company shall pay Parent or its designee(s) a termination fee of $5,000,000 (such amount, the “Termination Fee”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent in writing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, except in the case of Actual Fraud or Willful Breach, if the Termination Fee is paid pursuant to Section 9.3(a), such payment(s) shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, Representatives or assignees against the Company, SpinCo, any of their respective Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, Representatives or assignees (together with the Company, collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

(d) Each of the Parties acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the Transactions, (ii) without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement and (iii) the Termination Fee does not constitute a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

9.4 Fees and Expenses. Except (a) for the filing fee incurred in connection with the filings with any Governmental Authorities pursuant to Section 7.5(b), which will be borne by the Company, or (b) as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred by the Parties shall be borne solely by the Party that has incurred such fees and expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

10.7 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Any Party may, at any time prior to the Closing, by action taken by its board of directors, or officers thereunto duly authorized, waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered pursuant hereto and any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or (without limiting Section 10.7(b)) agree to an amendment or modification to this Agreement by an agreement in writing executed in the same manner (but not necessarily by the same Persons) as this Agreement.

10.9 Specific Performance.

(a) The Parties agree and acknowledge that the failure to perform under this Agreement will cause an actual, immediate and irreparable harm and injury and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Transactions) or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, it is agreed that, (i) each of the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief, each without proof of damages prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by any other Party and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (ii) prior to the Closing or any termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, damages shall be awarded only in a case where a court of competent jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding the Parties’ intention for specific performance to be the applicable remedy prior to termination or the Closing, such specific performance is not available or otherwise will not be granted as a remedy.

(b) The Parties further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.9, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement, including monetary damages, subject to the terms hereof, (ii) nothing contained in this Section 10.9 shall require any Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 10.9 before exercising any termination right under Section 9.1 (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any Action pursuant to this Section 10.9 or anything contained in this Section 10.9 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1 or to pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter; (iii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement; and (iv) no Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 10.9, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

(c) To the extent either party hereto brings any Action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.9, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such Action is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.

10.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE (AND SHALL CAUSE THEIR SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES TO WAIVE) THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING IN ANY COURT RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS, OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT (INCLUDING ANY SCHEDULE OR EXHIBIT HERETO AND THERETO) OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF SUCH AGREEMENTS OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OF SUCH AGREEMENTS. NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS, ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENTS. NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 10.10. NO PARTY OR REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.10 WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

10.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance, shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof. The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.

10.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by electronic or .pdf transmission), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of any signature page by facsimile, electronic or .pdf transmission shall be binding to the same extent as an original signature page.

10.13 Disclosure Schedules. The Company Disclosure Schedule, the SpinCo Disclosure Schedule and the Parent Disclosure Schedule (each, a “Disclosure Schedule” and, collectively, the “Disclosure Schedules”) (including, in each case, any section thereof) referenced herein are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. All references herein to the Company Disclosure Schedule, SpinCo Disclosure Schedule and Parent Disclosure Schedule (including, in each case, any section thereof) shall be deemed references to such parts of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require. Certain information set forth in the Disclosure Schedules is included solely for informational purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. The disclosure of any information in any Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to constitute in itself an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality.
