Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On March 7, 2025, Avalon GloboCare
Corp. (“Avalon”), Nexus MergerSub Limited, a business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Avalon (“Merger Sub”), and YOOV Group Holding Limited, a business company incorporated in the British Virgin
Islands (“YOOV” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”)
pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into YOOV, with YOOV surviving the merger and becoming a direct, wholly owned subsidiary
of Avalon (the “Merger”). The Merger is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing
conditions.
Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each then-outstanding
share of YOOV preferred shares, par value $0.10 per share, will either automatically be converted into shares of YOOV ordinary shares,
par value $0.10 per share (the “YOOV Ordinary Shares”) or canceled and cease to exist in accordance with their terms. At the
Effective Time, each then-outstanding YOOV Ordinary Share (other than any shares held in treasury and Dissenting Shares (as defined in
the Merger Agreement)) will be automatically converted into a number of shares of Avalon common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the
“Avalon Common Stock”), equal to the Exchange Ratio. The “Exchange Ratio” will be the ratio (rounded to four decimal
places), determined as follows: if the closing price of the Avalon Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)
on the second trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time is (x) less than or equal to $5.00, the Exchange Ratio shall be 60,000,000
divided by the Company Outstanding Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement); or (y) greater than $5.00, the Exchange Ratio shall be
54,000,000 divided by the Company Outstanding Shares.
Pursuant to the terms of
the Merger Agreement, (i) each then-outstanding share of Avalon Common Stock will remain issued and outstanding after the Effective
Time and (ii) each then-outstanding option to purchase Avalon Common Stock, whether or not vested, will remain issued and
outstanding after the Effective Time. The then-outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of Avalon and Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock of Avalon will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. Additionally, at the Effective Time,
the name of Avalon will be changed to “YOOV, Inc.”
In connection with the
Merger, Avalon will seek approval of its stockholders to, among other things, (i) approve the issuance of the shares of Avalon
Common Stock to be issued to YOOV shareholders in connection with the Merger pursuant to the rules of Nasdaq and (ii) amend
Avalon’s certificate of incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Avalon Common Stock to the extent Avalon and YOOV
mutually agree implementing such reverse stock split is necessary to meet Nasdaq’s listing requirements (collectively, the
“Avalon Stockholder Matters”).
Each of Avalon and YOOV
have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among other things, covenants
relating to (i) obtaining the requisite approval of its respective stockholders, (ii) non-solicitation or facilitation of any
Takeover Proposal or Superior Proposal (as each is defined in the Merger Agreement), (iii) the conduct of its respective business
during the period between the signing of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger, and (iv) Avalon filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and causing to become effective a registration statement on Form S-4 (the
“Registration Statement”) to register the shares of Avalon Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger.
Consummation of the Merger
is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, (i) approval of the Avalon Stockholder Matters by the requisite
Avalon stockholders, (ii) adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, by the requisite YOOV
shareholders, (iii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and (iv) the listing of the Avalon Common Stock issuable in connection
with the Merger on Nasdaq. Each party’s obligation to consummate the Merger is also subject to other specified
customary conditions, including regarding the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, subject to the applicable
materiality standard, and the performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement required
to be performed on or prior to the Effective Time.
The Merger Agreement contains
certain termination rights for both Avalon and YOOV, including the right to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time before the Effective
Time, whether before or after the Avalon Stockholder Matters have been approved, by mutual written consent of the parties. In addition,
the Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party if the Merger is not consummated on or before March 7, 2026 (the “End
Date”), provided that the End Date may be extended by either party for up to 60 days in the event that the SEC has not declared
effective the Registration Statement by the date which is 60 days prior to the End Date. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under
specified circumstances, Avalon may be required to pay YOOV a termination fee of $1.0 million; however, YOOV is not required to pay Avalon
a termination fee.
At the Effective Time, the
board of directors of Avalon (the “Avalon Board”) is expected to consist of seven (7) members, five (5) of whom will be designated
by YOOV and two (2) of whom will be designated by Avalon, as provided in the Merger Agreement.
Voting and Support Agreements
Concurrently with the execution
of the Merger Agreement, (i) the officers, directors and certain shareholders of YOOV (solely in their respective capacities as YOOV shareholders)
have entered into voting and support agreements with Avalon and YOOV, pursuant to which such YOOV shareholders agree, among other things
to, (a) not transfer their capital stock of YOOV, subject to certain limited exceptions and (b) vote all of their shares of capital stock
of YOOV in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and against, among other
things, any Takeover Proposals (the “YOOV Voting Agreement”) and (ii) the officers, directors and certain stockholders of
Avalon (solely in their respective capacities as Avalon stockholders) have entered into voting and support agreements with Avalon and
YOOV, pursuant to which such Avalon stockholders agree, among other things to, (a) not transfer their capital stock of Avalon, subject
to certain limited exceptions and (b) vote all of their shares of capital stock of Avalon in favor of, among other things, the Avalon
Stockholder Matters and against, among other things, any Takeover Proposals (the “Avalon Voting Agreement”).
Lock-Up Agreements
Concurrently with the execution
of the Merger Agreement, certain directors, officers and stockholders of each of Avalon and YOOV have entered into lock-up agreements
(the “Lock-Up Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to specified exceptions, they have agreed not to transfer their shares
of Avalon Common Stock, during the 180-day period following the Effective Time.
The foregoing description
of the Merger Agreement, Avalon Voting Agreement, YOOV Voting Agreement and Lock-Up Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified
in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, the form of Avalon Voting Agreement, the form of YOOV Voting Agreement and the
form of Lock-Up Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1, 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
The Merger Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide investors and securityholders with
information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about YOOV or Avalon or to modify or supplement
any factual disclosures about Avalon in its public reports filed with the SEC. The Merger Agreement includes representations, warranties
and covenants of YOOV, Avalon and Merger Sub made solely for the purpose of the Merger Agreement and solely for the benefit of the parties
thereto in connection with the negotiated terms of the Merger Agreement. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties
and covenants in the Merger Agreement or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of YOOV,
Avalon or any of their respective affiliates. Moreover, certain of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete
as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to SEC filings
or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement, rather than establishing matters of fact.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change
in Fiscal Year.
Certificates of Elimination
Avalon previously designated
(i) 15,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), of which no
shares remain outstanding as a result of the exchange agreement entered with Wenzhao Lu on January 9, 2025 and (ii) 15,000 shares of Series
B Preferred Stock, of which no shares remain outstanding as a result of the surrender of the Series B Preferred Stock in connection with
the redemption and abandonment agreement with Avalon, Avalon Laboratory Services, Inc., Laboratory Services MSO, LLC and the other parties
signatory thereto on February 26, 2025.
On March 7, 2025, Avalon filed
a Certificate of Elimination relating to each of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Eliminations
of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, thereby terminating the designations of the Series A Preferred
Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock. The Eliminations of Designation were effective upon filing and eliminated from Avalon’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Avalon Charter”) all
matters set forth in the previously-filed Certificates of Designations with respect to the previously designated Series A Preferred Stock
and Series B Preferred Stock.
Bylaws Amendment
On March 7, 2025, the Avalon
Board approved and adopted an amendment (the “Amendment”) to Avalon’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Avalon
Bylaws”). The Amendment reduces the quorum at any meeting of stockholders, except as otherwise required by law or by the Avalon
Charter or the Avalon Bylaws, to one-third of the voting power of the shares of capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the
meeting, present in person, present by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy.
The foregoing descriptions
of the Eliminations of Designation and the Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Amendment, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On March 10, 2025, Avalon
and YOOV issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement. The press release and the information set forth
therein shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form
8-K and the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 contain forward-looking statements based upon Avalon’s and YOOV’s
current expectations. This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are identified by terminology such as “believe,” “may,”
“will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,”
“should,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “expect,” “goal,” “seek,”
“future,” “likely” or the negative or plural of these words or similar expressions. These statements are only
predictions. Avalon and YOOV have based these forward-looking statements largely on their then-current expectations and projections about
future events, as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties,
many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond each of Avalon’s and YOOV’s control, and actual results could
differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to:
(i) the risk that the conditions to the closing or consummation of the proposed Merger are not satisfied, including the failure to obtain
stockholder approval for the proposed Merger; (ii) uncertainties as to the timing of the consummation of the proposed Merger and the ability
of each of Avalon and YOOV to consummate the transactions contemplated by the proposed Merger; (iii) risks related to Avalon’s and
YOOV’s ability to correctly estimate their respective operating expenses and expenses associated with the proposed Merger, as applicable,
as well as uncertainties regarding the impact any delay in the closing would have on the anticipated cash resources of the resulting combined
company upon closing and other events and unanticipated spending and costs that could reduce the combined company’s cash resources;
(iv) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the proposed Merger
by either Avalon or YOOV; (v) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed Merger on Avalon’s or YOOV’s business
relationships, operating results and business generally; (vi) costs related to the proposed Merger; (vii) the outcome of any legal proceedings
that may be instituted against Avalon, YOOV, or any of their respective directors or officers related to the Merger Agreement or the transactions
contemplated thereby; (vii) the ability of Avalon or YOOV to protect their respective intellectual property rights; (viii) competitive
responses to the proposed Merger; (ix) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed Merger; (x) whether the combined
business of YOOV and Avalon will be successful; (xi) legislative, regulatory, political and economic developments; and (xii) additional
risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of Avalon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2023 filed with the SEC and subsequent filings made with the SEC. Additional assumptions, risks and uncertainties are described in
detail in Avalon’s registration statements, reports and other filings with the SEC, which are available on Avalon’s website,
and at www.sec.gov. Accordingly, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Neither Avalon nor
YOOV can assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual
results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made in this communication
relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, Avalon and
YOOV undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement
is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued
“forward-looking statement” constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement.

Article
I. THE MERGER
Section 1.01 The
Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub shall be merged
with and into the Company in accordance with the applicable provisions of the BVI Companies Act. As a result of the Merger, Merger Sub
shall cease to exist, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Company”).
Section 1.02 Closing.
Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Article VII, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions
to closing contained in Article VI, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place (a) remotely
by exchange of documents and signatures (or their electronic counterparts) on the third Business Day after the day on which the conditions
set forth in Article VI (other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) are satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement or (b) at such other place and
time as PubCo and the Company may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to as the “Closing
Date.”
Section
1.03 Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, as soon as
practicable on the Closing Date, the Parties shall execute a plan of merger (the “Plan of Merger”) and articles
of merger (the “Articles of Merger”), and shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Articles of
Merger (appending the Plan of Merger) and other documents required by the BVI Companies Act with the Registrar of Corporate
Affairs in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI Registry”) in accordance with the relevant provisions of the BVI
Companies Act, and shall make all other filings, recordings or publications required under the BVI Companies Act in connection with
the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at the time that the properly executed copy of the Articles of Merger is filed and
accepted by the BVI Registry or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, at such later time as specified in the Articles of
Merger (the time at which the Merger becomes effective is herein referred to as the “Effective Time”).
Section 1.04 Effects
of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the BVI Companies
Act, this Agreement and the Articles of Merger. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective
Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of each of
the Company and the Merger Sub shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities,
duties and obligations of the Surviving Company, which will include the assumption by the Surviving Company of any and all agreements,
covenants, duties and obligations of the Company and the Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Effective Time.
As a result of the Merger, the Surviving Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo.
Section 1.05 Organizational
Documents.
(a) Surviving Company
Organizational Documents. The memorandum and articles of association of the Company in effect at the Effective Time shall be the
memorandum and articles of association of the Surviving Company immediately after the Effective Time, except such memorandum and articles
of association shall be amended and restated as may be necessary (the “Surviving Company Restated Articles”), until
amended in accordance with applicable Law, and the Parties shall approve and adopt the Surviving Company Restated Articles, and make
any required filings with the BVI Registry.
(b) PubCo Organizational
Documents. The certificate of incorporation of PubCo shall be identical to the certificate of incorporation of PubCo immediately
prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with such certificate of incorporation and applicable Law; provided,
however, that at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, PubCo shall file an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to (i)
change the name of PubCo to “YOOV, Inc.” or such other name chosen by the Company and approved, in writing, by PubCo (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (ii) effectuate the Reverse Stock Split, if necessary, and (iii)
make such other changes as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and PubCo prior to the filing of such amendment. The bylaws of
PubCo shall be identical to the bylaws of PubCo as in effect as of the Effective Time, except such bylaws shall be deemed amended to
change the name of PubCo stated therein to “YOOV, Inc.,” until thereafter amended in accordance with such bylaws and applicable
Law.
Section 1.06 Directors
and Officers.
(a) PubCo Board.
The Parties shall take all necessary actions such that as of the Effective Time and until successors are duly elected or appointed and
qualified in accordance with applicable Law, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the organizational
documents of PubCo, the PubCo Board shall be comprised of seven (7) individuals, five (5) such individuals shall be as designated by
the Company in a written notice to PubCo prior to the Closing, and two (2) individuals from the existing PubCo Board as of immediately
prior to the Closing shall be retained (or as may be otherwise designated by the pre-Closing PubCo Board), provided, that such individuals
are reasonably acceptable to the Company.
(b) Officers of PubCo.
The Parties shall take all necessary actions such that, from and after the Effective Time, until successors are duly elected or appointed
and qualified in accordance with applicable Law, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the organizational
documents of PubCo, the officers of PubCo shall be designated by the Company in a written notice to PubCo prior to the Closing.
(c) Directors and Officers
of the Surviving Company. The Parties shall take all necessary actions such that, from and after the Effective Time, until successors
are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Law, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in
accordance with the organizational documents of the Surviving Company, (i) the directors of the Surviving Company, and (ii) the officers
of the Surviving Company shall, in each case, be designated by the Company in a written notice to PubCo prior to the Closing.
Section 1.07 Tax
Treatment. Each of the Parties intends that, for U.S. federal income tax, and as applicable, state and local Tax purposes, (i)
the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and, in the event that the former shareholders of
the Company are in “control” of PubCo immediately after the Effective Time within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code,
shall also qualify as an exchange of Company Ordinary Shares for shares of PubCo Common Stock within the meaning of Section 351(a) of
the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”), and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute, and is hereby adopted as, a “plan
of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).
Article
II.
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON SHARE CAPITAL
Section 2.01 Conversion
of Share Capital.
(a) Treatment of Company
Convertible Securities. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Preferred Share and any ordinary share purchase warrants
or other securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Company Ordinary Shares (such warrants or securities, the “Company
Convertible Securities”) shall be (i) converted into Company Ordinary Shares (the “Company Convertible Securities
Conversion”), or (ii) cancelled and shall cease to exist in accordance with their terms. The Company’s issued and outstanding
Ordinary Shares shall be subject to Section 2.01(c) below.
(b) Merger. At
the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any additional action on the part of either PubCo Entity, the Company, the PubCo
Stockholders or the Company Shareholders:
(i) Company
Ordinary Share. Each Company Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (and, for the avoidance
of doubt, (A) following the conversion of any Company Convertible Securities Conversion, and (B) other than Dissenting Shares or Excluded
Company Shares) shall automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares
of PubCo Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Consideration”).
(ii) PubCo
Common Stock. Each share of PubCo Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding.
Immediately following the Effective Time, shares of PubCo Common Stock, if any, owned by the Surviving Company shall be surrendered to
PubCo without payment therefor.
(iii) Merger
Sub Ordinary Shares. Each Merger Sub Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically
be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the Surviving Company, which shall constitute
the only outstanding shares of the Surviving Company and shall be solely owned by the PubCo.
(iv) Treasury
Stock of the Company. Each share of the Company Share Capital held in the treasury of the Company, owned by the Company or any
of its direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries or by PubCo or any of its Affiliates at the Effective Time (collectively, the
“Excluded Company Shares”) shall be canceled automatically and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall
be paid for those Excluded Company Shares.
(c) Conversion of Company
Securities. All Company Ordinary Shares (including Company Ordinary Shares issued upon any Company Convertible Securities Conversion)
that have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01(b) shall be canceled automatically and shall cease to exist, and the holders
of (i) certificates which immediately before the Effective Time represented such shares (the “Company Share Certificates”)
or (ii) shares represented by book-entry (the “Company Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect
to those shares, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02.
(d) Equitable Adjustment.
If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital
stock of PubCo or the Company shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, stock split (including
a reverse stock split only to the extent such split has not been previously taken into account in calculating the Exchange Ratio) or
combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution is declared with a record date during such
period, the Exchange Ratio (and the determination thereof) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.
(e) Fractional Shares.
No fractional shares of PubCo Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional
shares shall be issued, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights as a holder
of PubCo Common Stock. If the product of the number of shares a Company Shareholder holds immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied
by the Exchange Ratio would result in the issuance of a fractional share of PubCo Common Stock, that product will be rounded down to
the nearest whole number of shares of PubCo Common Stock, if it is less than the fraction of one-half (0.5) of one share of PubCo Common
Stock, or rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of PubCo Common Stock if the said product is greater than or equal to the
fraction of one-half (0.5) of one share of PubCo Common Stock.
Section 2.02 Surrender
and Payment.
(a) Exchange Agent.
Prior to the Effective Time, PubCo and the Company shall appoint a firm, bank or trust company acceptable to the Company to serve as
exchange and payment agent (the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of issuing and sending to each Company Shareholder,
other than with respect to Excluded Company Shares or Dissenting Shares, the Merger Consideration. PubCo will enter into an agreement
with such Exchange Agent on terms reasonably satisfactory to PubCo and the Company.
(b) Exchange Fund.
On or prior to the Closing Date, PubCo and the Company shall cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit
of the holders of Company Ordinary Share, the aggregate Merger Consideration (which shall be in book-entry form unless a physical certificate
is requested) issuable pursuant to this Agreement. All book-entry shares representing PubCo Common Stock deposited by PubCo with the
Exchange Agent for distribution to the Company Shareholders pursuant to this Article II are referred to in this Agreement as the
“Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.
(c) Exchange Procedures.
(i) Letter
of Transmittal. As promptly as practicable but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time, PubCo
shall, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to, mail to each holder of record of a share of Company Ordinary Share, (A) a letter of
transmittal in customary form, specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such holder’s shares
shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Company Share Certificate, as applicable, to the Exchange Agent or, in the case of
Company Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal, and (B) instructions for
surrendering such Company Share Certificates or Company Book-Entry Shares.
(ii) Surrender
of Shares of Company Stock. Upon surrender of a Company Share Certificate or of a Company Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the
Exchange Agent in accordance with the instructions provided by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i) above, together
with a duly executed and completed letter of transmittal and any other documents reasonably required by the Exchange Agent, the holder
of that Company Share Certificate or Company Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange
therefor, that number of whole shares of PubCo Common Stock to which such Company Shareholder shall have become entitled on the account
of Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01.
(iii) Unregistered
Transferees. If any Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the share of Company Ordinary
Share is registered, then the Merger Consideration may be paid to such a transferee so long as (A) the surrendered Company Share Certificate
or Company Book-Entry Share is accompanied by all documents required by PubCo or the Company, as applicable, to evidence that such Company
Ordinary Share has been properly transferred and (B) the Person requesting such payment (1) pays any applicable transfer taxes or (2)
establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of PubCo and the Exchange Agent that any such transfer taxes have already been paid or are
not applicable.
(iv) No Other
Rights. Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.02(c), each Company Share Certificate and each Company Book-Entry
Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Any Merger
Consideration paid upon the surrender of any Company Share Certificate or Company Book-Entry Share shall be deemed to have been paid
in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Share Certificate or Company Book-Entry Share and the Company Ordinary
Shares formerly represented by it.
(d) Lost, Stolen
or Destroyed Certificates. If any Company Share Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that
fact by the Person claiming such Company Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by PubCo, the posting by
such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as PubCo may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with
respect to such Company Share Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay, in exchange for such affidavit claiming such Company Share Certificate
is lost, stolen or destroyed, the Merger Consideration, to such Person in respect of the Company Ordinary Shares represented by such
Company Share Certificate.
(e) No Further
Transfers. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration
of transfers of the Company Ordinary Shares that were outstanding immediately before the Effective Time.
(f) Required
Withholding. Insofar as applicable, each of PubCo, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from any consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld
therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other applicable state, local
or foreign Law. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities,
those amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made.
(g) No Liability.
None of PubCo, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates)
shall be liable to any Company Shareholder for any amount properly paid to a public official under any applicable abandoned property,
escheat or similar Law. If any shares Company Ordinary Share shall not have been allocated their Merger Consideration prior to two (2)
years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the related Merger Consideration (and all dividends
or other distributions with respect to shares of PubCo Common Stock) would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental
Authority), any such Merger Consideration (and such dividends, distributions and cash) in respect thereof shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable Law, become the property of the PubCo, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(h) Termination
of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Share Certificates or Company
Book-Entry Shares one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to PubCo upon demand. Thereafter, any holder
of Company Share Certificates or Company Book-Entry Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall look only
to the PubCo for, and the PubCo shall remain liable for, payment of the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to the terms of this
Article II, subject to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law, without interest.
Section 2.03 Treatment
of Equity Awards.
(a) PubCo Stock Options.
Following the Effective Time, each PubCo Stock Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then
vested or exercisable, shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof or any other Person, continue to be outstanding and
have, and shall continue to be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to such PubCo Stock Option as of immediately prior
to the Effective Time; provided, that, in no event shall such total PubCo Stock Option, whether or not vested or exercisable, on an as-converted
and fully diluted basis, be exercised or excisable for more than 4% of the aggregate PubCo Common Stock reserved for issuance under such
equity plan of PubCo adopted or becomes effective after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all
PubCo Stock Options shall be treated in a manner so as not to result in the incurrence of a penalty tax under Section 409A of the Code.
For the avoidance of doubt, the PubCo Stock Options outstanding at the Effective Time shall not in any way change or otherwise alter
the percentage ownership interest of the PubCo Stockholders and the Company Shareholders, respectively, as contemplated under this Agreement.
Prior to the Effective Time, PubCo shall take all necessary action, if any, to give effect to the terms of this Section 2.03(a).
(b) Amendment to PubCo
Equity Plan. PubCo shall undertake to amend the PubCo Equity Plan, in such form that is reasonably acceptable to the Company, to
increase the number of PubCo Common Stock reserved and issuable under the PubCo Equity Plan after the Effective Time (the “PubCo
Equity Plan Amendment”). PubCo shall take all necessary action to submit the PubCo Equity Plan Amendment to the PubCo Board
for approval and, upon its approval, the PubCo Board shall submit the PubCo Equity Plan Amendment for stockholder approval at the PubCo
Stockholders Meeting.
Section 2.04 Dissenting
Shares.
(a) Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Share Capital (other than Excluded Company Shares) for which the
holder thereof (the “Dissenting Shareholder”) (i) has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented in writing
and (ii) has validly exercised the rights to dissent from the Merger in accordance with, and has complied in all respects with, the
BVI Companies Act (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the
Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.01. Each Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive only the
payment resulting from the procedure in Section 179 of BVI Companies Act with respect to the Dissenting Shares owned by such
Dissenting Shareholder.
(b)
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.04(a), if any Dissenting Shareholder effectively waives, withdraws or loses
such rights to dissent from the Merger (through failure to perfect such rights or otherwise in accordance with the BVI Companies Act),
then such holder’s shares (i) shall be deemed no longer to be Dissenting Shares, and (ii) shall be treated as if they had been converted
automatically at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender of the Company Share Certificate
or Company Book-Entry Share formerly representing such shares in accordance with Section 2.02.
(c)
The Company shall give PubCo (i) notice of any written demands for exercise of the rights to dissent from the Merger of any shares
of Company Share Capital, the withdrawals of such demands and any other related instrument served on the Company under the BVI Companies
Act and (ii) the right to participate in, and at PubCo’s election and expense, direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect
to such demands for exercise of the rights to dissent from the Merger. The Company shall not (or cause or permit any Person on its behalf
to) offer to make or make any payment or settle, compromise, or offer to settle or compromise, or otherwise negotiate with respect to
any such demands for exercise of the rights to dissent from the Merger without the prior written consent of PubCo, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

corresponding sections of the disclosure letter delivered by the Company to the PubCo Entities concurrently with the execution of
this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”), it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section of
the Company Disclosure Letter (whether or not an explicit cross reference appears) shall be deemed to be disclosure with respect to any

that:
Section 3.01 Organization

of the Company’s Subsidiaries has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and properties, to carry
on its business as now conducted, except where the failure to have such requisite power or authority would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified
to do business as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction
where such qualification is necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.02 Organizational
Documents. The Company has made available to PubCo true and complete copies of the memorandum and articles of association and
all other similar constitutional documents adopted or filed in connection with the creation, formation, organization or governance of
the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Company Organizational Documents”), and

of any provision of the Company Organizational Documents.
Section 3.03 Governmental
Authorizations. Assuming that the representations and warranties of the PubCo Entities contained in Section 4.04 are true
and correct, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions,
including the Merger, do not and will not require any consent, approval or other authorization of, or registration or filing with or
notification to any Governmental Authority (collectively, “Governmental Authorizations”), other than:

the Merger, with the BVI Registry, and the adoption and filing the Surviving Company Restated Articles, with the BVI Registry, as may
be required;
(b)
any other filings or reports that may be required in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the Securities Act or any other state or federal securities, takeover or “blue
sky” Laws; and
(c)
such other Governmental Authorizations, where the failure to obtain such Governmental Authorizations would not, individually or
in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.04 Corporate
Authorization.
(a)
The Company Board has (i) approved and declared advisable this Agreement, the Plan of Merger, the Articles of Merger and the Transactions,
including the Merger, in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the Company then in effect (ii) declared that it

books, records, work papers and other documents and information relating to PubCo and its Subsidiaries, (ii) furnish promptly such information,
including copies of books, records, work papers, Tax Returns and other documents and information relating to PubCo and its Subsidiaries,
as the Company or its Representatives may reasonably request, (iii) permit the Company’s officers and other employees to meet, upon
reasonable notice and during normal business hours, with the chief financial officer and other officers and managers of PubCo that are
responsible for PubCo’s financial statements and internal controls to discuss such matters as the other party may reasonably request,
and (iv) make available to the Company copies of any material notice, report or other document filed with or sent to or received from
any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions.
(c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither PubCo nor the Company shall be required to provide such access if it reasonably determines
that it would (i) materially disrupt or impair the business or operations of PubCo or the Company, as applicable, or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, or (ii) constitute a violation of any applicable Law. Nothing herein shall require the Company or PubCo or any of their
respective Subsidiaries to disclose information to the extent such information would result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege,
work product doctrine or similar privilege or violate any confidentiality obligation of such Party existing as of the date of this Agreement
(provided that such Party shall use reasonable best efforts to permit such disclosure to be made in a manner consistent with the protection
of such privilege or to obtain any consent required to permit such disclosure to be made without violation of such confidentiality obligations,
as applicable).
(d)
PubCo and the Company shall comply with and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to
comply with, all of their respective obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement, with respect to the information disclosed under
this Section 5.03. The Company acknowledges that the information provided to it is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality
Agreement.
Section 5.04 No
Solicitation.
(a)
No Solicitation or Facilitation of Proposals. Except as permitted by this Section 5.04, at any time prior to the
Specified Time, neither PubCo, PubCo’s Subsidiaries, the Company, or the Company’s Subsidiaries shall, and PubCo and the Company
shall instruct and use reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives not to, and shall not authorize or knowingly permit any of
its Representatives to, directly or indirectly:
(i)
solicit, initiate or propose the making, submission or announcement of, or knowingly encourage, facilitate or assist, any proposal
or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal;
(ii)
terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of any existing confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement with respect to
a potential Takeover Proposal;
(iii)
enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or
similar agreement (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) providing for the consummation of a transaction contemplated
by any Takeover Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in this Section 5.04(a) entered into in the circumstances
referred to in this Section 5.04(a));
(iv)
take any action that would reasonably be expected to lead to Takeover Proposal;
(v)
other than informing Persons of the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.04, enter into, continue or otherwise
participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information of such Party for the
purpose of encouraging, facilitating or responding to, any Takeover Proposal or any proposal or inquiry that is reasonably expected to
lead to a Takeover Proposal; and
(vi)
publicly propose to do any of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing
or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement and subject to compliance with this Section 5.04, prior to the Specified
Time, a Party may, in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Takeover Proposal from a Qualified Person, (A) furnish non-public information
with respect to such Party and its Subsidiaries to such Qualified Person (and the Representatives of such Qualified Person), pursuant
to a confidentiality agreement not materially less restrictive with respect to the obligations (including confidentiality obligations,
use restrictions, non-solicit provisions, no hire provisions and standstill provisions) of such Qualified Person than the Confidentiality
Agreement, provided that such confidentiality agreement shall not (x) grant any exclusive right to negotiate with such counterparty,
(y) prohibit such Party from satisfying its obligations hereunder, or (z) require the such Party to pay or reimburse the counterparty’s
fees, costs or expenses, (B) engage in discussions or negotiations (including solicitation of revised Takeover Proposals) with any such
Qualified Person (and the Representatives of such Qualified Person) regarding any Takeover Proposal, and (C) amend, or grant a waiver
or release under, any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any PubCo Common Stock or any Company Ordinary Shares, as applicable,
with any Qualified Person; provided, however, that (A) the board of directors of such Party has determined in good faith
based on the advice of outside legal counsel, that the failure to take the actions contemplated by this sentence would be reasonably likely
to result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the such Party’s board of directors under applicable Law, (B) neither such applicable
Party nor its Representative has breached this Section 5.04, (C) at least two Business Days prior to furnishing any such non-public
information to, or entering into discussions with, any such Qualified Person, such Party gives the other Party written notice of the identity
of such Qualified Person (unless, in the case of clause (iv), such disclosure is prohibited pursuant to the terms of any confidentiality
agreement with such Person that is in effect on the date of this Agreement) and of such Party’s intention to furnish non-public
information to, or enter into discussions with, such Qualified Person, (D) substantially contemporaneously with furnishing any non-public
information to any such Qualified Person, such Party furnishes such non-public information to the other Party (to the extent such information
has not been previously furnished by such Party to the other Party), and (E) notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, such Party shall continue to observe its obligations
under the Confidentiality Agreement including not furnishing any such Qualified Person with any confidential information of the other
Party.
(b)
Notice. PubCo or the Company, as applicable, shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) advise the other Party orally,
with written confirmation to promptly follow, of: (i) such Party’s receipt of any written or oral Takeover Proposal; (ii) a summary
of the material terms and conditions of any such Takeover Proposal; (iii) a copy of the Alternative Acquisition Agreement and other material
written proposals or offers delivered with, or in connection with, such Takeover Proposal; and (iv) the identity of the Person making
any such Takeover Proposal (unless, in the case of clause (iv), such disclosure is prohibited pursuant to the terms of any confidentiality
agreement with such Person that is in effect on the date of this Agreement). Such Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed
in all material respects of any material developments with respect to any Takeover Proposal (and any subsequent amendments or modifications
or proposed amendments or modifications thereto), in each case, as soon as is reasonably practicable and in any event within 24 hours
of receipt, provision or occurrence thereof. Such Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed with respect to the status and
terms of any such Takeover Proposal and any material modification or material proposed modification thereto.
(c)
No Change in Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement. At any time prior to the Specified Time:
(i)
the board of directors of either Party shall not, except as permitted in this Section 5.04, withhold, withdraw, qualify
or modify, or and publicly propose to withhold, amend, withdraw or modify, the PubCo Board Recommendation or the Company Board Recommendation,
as applicable, in a manner adverse to the other Party;
(ii)
the PubCo Board shall include the PubCo Board Recommendation in the PubCo Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement;
(iii)
the PubCo Board (or any committee thereof) shall not make or fail to make any recommendation or public statement in connection
with a tender or exchange offer, other than a recommendation against such offer or a “stop, look and listen” communication
by the PubCo Board (or a committee thereof) to the PubCo Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or
any substantially similar communication) (it being understood that the PubCo Board (or a committee thereof) may refrain from taking a
position with respect to a Takeover Proposal until the close of business on the 10th Business Day after the commencement of
a tender or exchange offer in connection with such Takeover Proposal without such action being considered a violation of this Section
5.04(c) or a PubCo Adverse Recommendation Change); and
(iv)
the board of directors of either Party shall not, except as set forth in this Section 5.04, adopt, approve, endorse or recommend,
or publicly announce an intention to adopt, approve, endorse or recommend, any Takeover Proposal or any proposal that is reasonably expected
to lead to a Takeover Proposal (any action described in clauses (i) through (iv), in the case of PubCo, a “PubCo Adverse Recommendation
Change” or in the case of the Company, a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change,” and in either case, as
applicable, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”).
(v)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Specified Time, the board of directors
of either Party may make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if such Party’s board of directors
determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be a breach such board of director’s
fiduciary duties under applicable Law, only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(A)
Such Party shall have first provided the other Party an Intervening Event Notice at least five Business Days in advance advising
the other Party that such Party intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change (it being understood and hereby agreed that the delivery
and receipt of any such Intervening Event Notice shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change) and specifying,
in reasonable detail, the Intervening Event;
(B)
during the applicable Intervening Event Notice Period (or any mutually agreed extension or continuation thereof), such Party and
its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with the other Party and its Representatives to make revisions to the terms of this
Agreement as would cause such Intervening Event to cease to warrant an Adverse Recommendation Change;
(C)
the other Party does not make, within the applicable Intervening Event Notice Period (or any extension or continuation thereof)
after the receipt of such notice, a proposal that would, in the good faith judgment of the PubCo Board or Company Board, as applicable,
(after consultation with outside legal counsel), cause the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening
Event to no longer be inconsistent with the such board of director’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood
and agreed that any material change in any event, occurrence or facts relating to such Intervening Event shall require a new Intervening
Event Notice with a new Intervening Event Notice Period ending on the day that is three Business Days after such material change); and
(D)
following the Intervening Event Notice Period, the PubCo Board or Company Board, as applicable, shall have determined in good faith
(after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable, in response
to such Intervening Event would continue to be a breach of such board of director’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
(vi)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Specified Time if, in response to
a bona fide unsolicited written Takeover Proposal made by a Third Party after the date of this Agreement which does not arise from
a breach of this Section 5.04 and has not been withdrawn, the board of directors of such Party that received the Takeover Proposal
determines in good faith (1) after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes
a Superior Proposal, and (2) after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change,
would be a breach of such Party’s board of director’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then such Party’s board
of director’s may make an Adverse Recommendation Change only if, in either such case, all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(A)
Such party shall have first provided to the other Party a Superior Proposal Notice at least five Business Days in advance advising
the other Party that such Party is prepared to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal (and specifying,
in reasonable detail, the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal, including the identity of the Third Party making
any such Superior Proposal) (it being understood and hereby agreed that the delivery and receipt of any such Superior Proposal Notice
shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change) and providing the
other Party with a complete copy of any written request, proposal or offer, including any proposed Alternative Acquisition Agreement (and
all schedules, appendices, exhibits and other attachments relating thereto), and any other documents containing the material terms of
such Superior Proposal; during the applicable Superior Proposal Notice Period (or any extension or continuation thereof), prior to its
effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change, such Party and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with the other Party and
its Representatives regarding changes to the terms of this Agreement and any other proposals intended to cause such Takeover Proposal
to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal;
(B)
the other Party does not make, within the applicable Superior Proposal Notice Period (or any mutually agreed extension or continuation
thereof) after the receipt of such notice, a proposal that would, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of such Party (after
consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor), cause the offer previously constituting a Superior Proposal to no longer
constitute a Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment or modification of such Superior Proposal shall
require a new Superior Proposal Notice with a new Superior Proposal Notice Period of five Business Days); and
(C)
following the Superior Proposal Notice Period, such Party’s board of directors shall have determined in good faith, in light
of such Superior Proposal and taking into account any revised terms proposed by the other Party, (x) after consultation with outside legal
counsel and a financial advisor, that such Takeover Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (y) after consultation with
outside legal counsel, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would continue to be a breach of the such board of director’s
fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
(d)
Certain Permitted Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement
shall prohibit PubCo, any of its Subsidiaries or the PubCo Board from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position with respect
to a tender offer contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and
listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder (none of which, in and of itself, shall be deemed to constitute
a PubCo Adverse Recommendation Change), or (ii) making any disclosure to PubCo’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of
the PubCo Board, after consultation with outside counsel, failure to so disclose would reasonably likely to result in a breach of its
fiduciary duties under applicable Law, it being understood that nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to permit PubCo or the PubCo
Board (or a committee thereof) to effect a PubCo Adverse Recommendation Change other than in accordance with Section 5.04(c).
(e) Cessation of
Ongoing Discussions. PubCo and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to: (i) cease immediately all
discussions and negotiations that commenced prior to the date of this Agreement regarding any proposal that would constitute (if made
after the date of this Agreement), or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Takeover Proposal, (ii) within two Business Days of
the date of this Agreement, request the prompt return or destruction of all non-public information concerning PubCo or its Subsidiaries
theretofore furnished to any Person with whom a confidentiality agreement in contemplation of an acquisition transaction was entered
into at any time within the 12-month period immediately preceding the date hereof, and (iii) immediately terminate all access granted
to any such Persons or their respective Representatives referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) to any physical or electronic data room; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not in any way limit or modify any of PubCo’s rights under the other provisions of this Section
5.04.
Section 5.05 PubCo
Registration Statement and Proxy.
(a)
As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, PubCo shall prepare and file with the SEC the PubCo Registration
Statement relating to the registration of the shares of PubCo Common Stock to be issued to the Company Shareholders, which will contain
the Proxy Statement. The PubCo Registration Statement and Proxy Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws. The Company shall provide to PubCo all information, including
certificates or other statements, concerning the Company as may be reasonably requested by PubCo in connection with the PubCo Registration
Statement and Proxy Statement and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with PubCo in the preparation of the PubCo Registration
Statement and Proxy Statement and resolution of any comments referred to below; provided, that PubCo shall provide the Company with a
reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any drafts of the PubCo Registration Statement and Proxy Statement and related correspondence
and filings.
(b)
PubCo covenants and agrees that none of the information to be included or incorporated by reference in the PubCo Registration Statement,
the Proxy Statement and any pro forma financial statements included therein, will, at the date it is first mailed to the PubCo Stockholders
or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, 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; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made by PubCo with respect to statements made or incorporated
by reference therein to the extent based on information supplied by or on behalf of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company in connection
with the preparation of the PubCo Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein.
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that none of the information to be supplied by or on behalf of the Company or any Affiliate thereof
for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the PubCo Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement, shall, at the date it is first
mailed to the PubCo Stockholders or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, 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; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made by the Company
with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein to the extent based on information supplied by any PubCo Entity or
any Affiliate thereof in connection with the preparation of the PubCo Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement for inclusion or incorporation
by reference therein. PubCo and the Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that the PubCo Registration
Statement complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder and to satisfy all rules of Nasdaq.
(c)
PubCo shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) respond to any comments on the PubCo Registration Statement or
requests for additional information from the SEC as soon as practicable after receipt of any such comments or requests, provide the SEC
with all information reasonably necessary to amend the PubCo Registration Statement), (ii) have the PubCo Registration Statement cleared
by the SEC as promptly as practicable following its filing with the SEC, (iii) set a record date for the PubCo Stockholders Meeting, and
(iv) cause the PubCo Registration Statement to be mailed to the PubCo Stockholders as promptly as practicable after the SEC confirms that
it has no further comments on the PubCo Registration Statement. PubCo shall promptly (A) notify the Company upon the receipt of any such
comments or requests, and (B) provide the Company with copies of all correspondence relating to the PubCo Registration Statement between
PubCo and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand. Before responding to any such comments or
requests or the filing or mailing of the PubCo Registration Statement, PubCo shall provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to
review and comment on any drafts of the PubCo Registration Statement and related correspondence and filings.
(d)
The PubCo Registration Statement shall include the PubCo Board Recommendation unless the PubCo Board has made a PubCo Adverse
Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.04 of this Agreement. The PubCo Registration Statement shall not, when sent
to PubCo’s stockholders, contain any other proposal or request for stockholder approval of a Takeover Proposal other than the Requisite
PubCo Vote.
(e)
PubCo and the Company shall reasonably cooperate in good faith and use its respective commercially reasonable best efforts to cause
the shares of PubCo Common Stock to be issued in the Transactions to be approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of
issuance, prior to the Closing Date. PubCo shall also use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain, and the Company shall reasonably
cooperate in good faith with PubCo to assist PubCo in obtaining, all necessary state securities law or “blue sky” permits
and approvals necessary to ensure that the PubCo Common Stock to be issued in the Transactions (to the extent required) shall be registered
or qualified or exempt from registration or qualification under the securities law of every jurisdiction of the United States in which
any registered holder of Company Ordinary Share or Company Preferred Share has an address of record on the applicable record date for
determining the holders of Company Ordinary Share or Company Preferred Share entitled to notice and to vote pursuant to the Company Shareholder
Approval, to the extent applicable.
Section 5.06
PubCo Stockholders Meeting. Subject to Section 5.04, as promptly as practicable following the effectiveness of
the PubCo Registration Statement, PubCo shall establish the record date, and duly call, give notice of, convene or hold the PubCo Stockholders
Meeting in accordance with the DGCL and the PubCo Organizational Documents (and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date
thereof, unless otherwise required by applicable Laws) to consider and vote to approve the PubCo Stockholder Matters. PubCo shall take
reasonable measures to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the PubCo Stockholder Meeting are solicited in compliance
with all applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, PubCo may postpone or adjourn the PubCo Stockholders
Meeting: (i) with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); (ii) it will
not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Requisite PubCo Vote, whether or not a quorum would be present; (iii) for the absence of
a quorum; (iv) to allow reasonable additional time (not to exceed 20 days) for the filing and distribution of any supplemental or amended
disclosure with respect to the Transactions, which the PubCo Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal
counsel) is necessary under applicable Laws and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated to and reviewed by the
PubCo Stockholders prior to the PubCo Stockholders Meeting; or (v) as reasonably necessary in connection with PubCo taking any of the
actions permitted by Section 5.04 in response to a Takeover Proposal. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, PubCo’s
requirement to call and hold the PubCo Stockholder Meeting shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure
or communication to PubCo of any Takeover Proposal, Intervening Event or the PubCo Board making a PubCo Adverse Recommendation Change.
Subject to Section 5.04, the PubCo Board shall recommend that the PubCo Stockholders vote to approve the PubCo Stockholder Matters.
Prior to the mailing of the PubCo Registration Statement, PubCo shall be entitled to engage a proxy solicitor that is reasonably satisfactory
to the Company, and PubCo shall keep the Company reasonably informed regarding its solicitation efforts and proxy tallies following the
mailing of the PubCo Registration Statement. If, at any time after PubCo has obtained the Requisite PubCo Vote, the Company issues and
sells shares of Company Preferred Share in accordance with Section 5.01(c), the Company shall provide PubCo written notice of such
issuance and sale within three Business Days following the consummation of any such issuance sale. Promptly following the receipt of such
written notice, PubCo shall take all actions necessary to ensure that PubCo, as of the Effective Time, will be able to issue the Merger
Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 5.07 Listing.
PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the existing shares of PubCo Common Stock shall have been continually
listed on Nasdaq as of and from the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date. PubCo and the Company shall reasonably
cooperate in good faith to (i) effectuate the Reverse Stock Split, and (ii) cause the shares of PubCo Common Stock being issued in
connection with the Transactions to be approved for listing (subject to notice of issuance) on Nasdaq to be approved for issuance
(subject to official notice of issuance) at or after the Effective Time pursuant to Nasdaq rules and regulations. To the extent
required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5110, PubCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file an initial listing
application for the PubCo Common Stock on Nasdaq (the “Nasdaq Listing Application”) and to cause such Nasdaq
Listing Application to be conditionally approved prior to the Effective Time. The Company will cooperate with PubCo as reasonably
requested by PubCo with respect to the Nasdaq Listing Application and promptly furnish to PubCo all information concerning the
Company and the Company Shareholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section
5.07. All fees associated with the Nasdaq Listing Application shall be paid by the Company.
Section 5.08
Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.
(a)
From the Closing Date through the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, each of PubCo and the Surviving Company, jointly and severally,
shall indemnify and hold harmless any present or former, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, director or officer of PubCo or the
Surviving Company, or their respective Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all claims, losses, Liabilities,
damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”),
incurred in connection with any Legal Action arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was a director
or officer of PubCo, the Surviving Company or their respective Subsidiaries, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or at or after the
Effective Time, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. Each Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement
of Costs incurred in the defense of any such Legal Action from each of PubCo and the Surviving Company upon receipt by PubCo or the Surviving
Company from the Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any such Person to whom Costs are advanced provides an
undertaking to PubCo, to the extent then required by the DGCL, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person
is not entitled to indemnification. PubCo shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Legal Action and PubCo
shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Legal Action pending or threatened in writing to which an
Indemnified Party is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder), unless such
settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Legal
Action or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing.
(b)
The provisions presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of PubCo with respect to indemnification, advancement
of Costs and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of PubCo shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period
of six (6) years from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior
to the Effective Time, were officers or directors of PubCo. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company shall
contain, and PubCo shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company to so contain, provisions no less
favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of Costs and exculpation of present and former directors and officers as those
presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of PubCo.
(c)
From and after the Effective Time, (i) the Surviving Company shall fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company
to its Indemnified Parties as of immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to any indemnification provisions under the Company’s
Organizational Documents and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and such Indemnified Parties, with respect
to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) PubCo shall fulfill and honor in all respects the
obligations of PubCo to its Indemnified Parties as of immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant
to any indemnification provisions under PubCo’s Organizational Documents and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between
PubCo and such Indemnified Parties, with respect to claims arising out of matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time.
(d)
From and after the Effective Time, PubCo shall maintain a directors’ and officers’ Liability insurance policy, with
an effective date as of the Closing Date on commercially available terms and conditions and with coverage limits customary for U.S. public
companies similarly situated to PubCo. In addition, PubCo shall also purchase and maintain, following consultation with, and subject to
the approval of, and at the expense of, the Company, a non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ Liability
coverage of PubCo’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for a claims reporting or discovery period
of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective
Time with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of Liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under PubCo’s
existing policies as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act,
omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of
him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement
or the Transactions).
(e)
The covenants contained in this Section 5.08 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the Indemnified
Parties by Law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and are for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified
Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified
Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. For the avoidance of the doubt, the Indemnified Parties and their respective
heirs and legal representatives shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to the covenants contained in this Section 5.08.
From and after the Effective Time, PubCo shall pay all Costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that are incurred by any Indemnified
Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.08, except to the extent that it is ultimately
determined by a Governmental Authority with valid jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant
to this Agreement.
(f)
In the event that PubCo, the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges
into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers
or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, PubCo or the Surviving Company,
as applicable, shall take all necessary action so that the successors or assigns of PubCo or the Surviving Company, as the case may be,
shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.08.
Section 5.09 Reasonable
Best Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Law,
each of the Parties shall, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to take,
or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to ensure that the conditions
applicable to such Party set forth in Article VI are satisfied and to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable in
accordance with its terms. The terms of this Section 5.09 shall not limit the applicable rights of PubCo or the Company set forth
in Section 5.04.
Section 5.10 Consents;
Filings; Further Action.
(a) Subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, PubCo and the Company shall (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to) each use their
reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and reasonably
cooperate with the other Parties in doing all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to (i) make any necessary
filings promptly after signing of this Agreement and obtain all necessary actions, waivers, registrations, permits, authorizations,
Orders, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities, the expiry or early termination of any applicable waiting periods, and
make all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any) and take all steps as may be
reasonably necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authorities, in
order to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the Termination Date, and (ii) deliver
required notices or any necessary additional instruments to, and obtain required consents, waivers or any additional instruments
necessary from, Third Parties in order to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the
Termination Date.
(b)
Subject to applicable Laws and the requirements of applicable Governmental Authorities, PubCo and the Company and their respective
counsel shall (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority
in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating
to the Transactions, including any proceeding initiated by a private Person, (ii) to the extent legally permissible, have the right to
review in advance, and each shall consult the other on, any material filing made with, or written materials to be submitted to, any Governmental
Authority in connection with the Transactions and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by
a private Person, in each case regarding any of the Transactions, (iii) promptly inform each other of any material communication (or any
other material correspondence or memoranda) received from, or given to, the DOJ or the FTC or any other applicable Governmental Authority,

hand, with respect to the Transactions. In furtherance of the foregoing and subject to applicable Laws and the requirements of Governmental
Authorities, PubCo and the Company shall (with respect to any in-person discussion or meeting, remote video meeting or substantive telephonic
discussion or meeting), provide the other Party and its counsel with advance notice of and the opportunity to participate in any material
discussion or meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry in connection with the
Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.10(b), PubCo and the Company may, as each deems advisable
and necessary, (x) reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 5.10 as “Antitrust
Counsel Only Material;” and (y) redact materials to be provided to the other Party as necessary to comply with contractual arrangement,
to address good faith legal privilege or confidentiality concerns, to comply with applicable Law, or to remove references concerning the
valuation of PubCo or Company and their respective Subsidiaries.
(c)
In furtherance of the undertakings under this Section 5.10, PubCo and the Company, along with their respective Subsidiaries,
shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain clearance under any applicable Antitrust Laws so as to enable the Parties to consummate
the Transactions as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the Termination Date, which shall include using reasonable best
efforts to propose, negotiate, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, disposition,
license or other disposition of such of its and its Subsidiaries’ assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties
or businesses, and enter into such other arrangements, as are necessary or advisable in order to avoid the entry of, and the commencement
of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other Order in any
proceeding by a Governmental Authority or any other Person under applicable Antitrust Laws, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing
or materially delaying the consummation of the Transactions. PubCo shall not, unless requested to do so by the Company, commit to or effect
any action contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence.
(d)
Each of PubCo and the Company shall consult with the other Party and consider in good faith the views of the other Party with
respect to the appropriate strategy relating to any matters relating to the Antitrust Laws, including with respect to any filings, notifications,
submissions and communications with or to any Governmental Authority and the nature and timing of any divestitures or other remedial undertakings
made for purposes of securing any required approvals under the Antitrust Laws; provided that, notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall, on behalf of the Parties, control and direct all aspects of the Parties’ efforts
with respect to applicable Antitrust Laws and any authorization, consent, notice or approval to be obtained from a Governmental Authority
or Third Party with respect to the Transactions, including having principal responsibility for devising, implementing, and making the
final determination as to such appropriate strategy, and shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the nature and timing
of any such divestitures or other remedial undertakings to the extent any such divestitures or other remedial undertakings would be conditioned
upon and only be effective after the Closing. PubCo shall cooperate in good faith with the Company in the Parties’ efforts to obtain
any clearance, approval, waiver or expiry or early termination of any applicable waiting periods with respect to any Antitrust Laws.
Section 5.11 Public
Announcements. The Parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements
about this Agreement or any of the Transactions. No Party shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior
to receiving the written consent (not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) of the other Party, except to the extent required
by applicable Law or Nasdaq rules, in which case that Party shall use its commercially best efforts to consult with the other party before
issuing any such release or making any such public statement; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required,
and no Party shall be required to consult with any other Party in connection with, or provide the other an opportunity to review or comment
upon, any press release or other public statement or comment to be issued or made with respect to any Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, without the prior consent of the other parties, the Company or PubCo may (a) communicate with its respective customers,
vendors, suppliers, financial analysts, investors and media representatives in a manner consistent with its past practice in compliance
with applicable Law to the extent such communications consist of information included in a press release or other document previously
approved for external distribution by the other Party, and (b) issue public statements or disseminate information to the extent solely
related to the operation of the business of such Party. PubCo and the Company will each issue a press release announcing the execution
of this Agreement, each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the other Party.

investigation pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company or PubCo, threatened which questions or challenges the validity of this
Agreement or the ability of any party to consummate the Transactions; provided, however, that the delivery of any
notice pursuant to this Section 5.16 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party
receiving such notice nor shall the party giving such notice be prejudiced with respect to any such matters solely by virtue of
having given such notice.
Section 5.17 Certain

the Merger to constitute as a transaction qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment, and (ii) not take any action not required by this

file (or cause its Affiliates, including the Company, to file) any U.S. federal, state or local Tax Return after the Closing Date in a
manner that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a transaction qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment for U.S. federal,

or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, in each case, unless otherwise required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a)
of the Code or a corresponding event with respect to state or local income Tax law. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to
the contrary, (i) PubCo makes no representations or warranties to any other Person or to any Company Shareholder regarding the Intended

Company Audited Financial Statements and the Company Interim Financial Statements will be suitable for inclusion in the Proxy
Statement and the PubCo Registration Statement and prepared in accordance with GAAP as applied on a consistent basis during the
periods involved (except in each case as described in the notes thereto) and on that basis will present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position and the results of operations, changes in members’ equity, and cash flows of the Company as
of the dates of and for the periods referred to in the Company Audited Financial Statements or the Company Interim Financial
Statements, as the case may be.
Section 5.23 Outstanding
PubCo Warrants. From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, PubCo shall use its commercially reasonable best

not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.03(b) if the Company is then in breach of any of their
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that would result in the conditions to Closing set forth
in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 not being satisfied; or
(c)
if all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02 have been satisfied (other than any condition

being satisfied) and PubCo has failed to fulfill its obligation and agreement herein to consummate the Closing within three Business Days

Fee to the Company pursuant to Section 7.06, and (ii) PubCo substantially concurrently with such termination enters into a definitive
agreement with respect to the Superior Proposal that did not result from a material breach of Section 5.04 and that remained a Superior
Proposal following PubCo’s compliance with the provisions set forth in Section 5.04;
(b)
if the Company breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach
(i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02, and (ii) cannot be cured by
the Termination Date, or, if curable, has not been cured by the Company within the earlier of (A) 30 days after the Company’s receipt
of written notice of such breach from PubCo, and (B) one Business Day prior to the Termination Date; provided PubCo shall not have the
right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.04(b) if any PubCo Entity is then in breach of any of its representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that would result in the conditions to Closing set forth in Section
6.01 or Section 6.03 not to be satisfied; or
(c)
if all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 and Section 6.03 have been satisfied (other than any condition
the failure of which to be satisfied has been principally caused by the breach of this Agreement by the Company or any of its Affiliates
and conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at Closing and which were, at the time of termination, capable of being satisfied)

Section 9.08 Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time before the Effective Time, whether before or after obtaining the Requisite
PubCo Vote, so long as (a) no amendment that requires further stockholder approval under applicable Law after stockholder approval
hereof shall be made without such required further approval, and (b) such amendment has been duly approved by the board of directors
of each of PubCo Entity and the Company. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the
Parties.
Section 9.09 Extension;
Waiver. At any time before the Effective Time, PubCo Entities, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may (a)
extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations
and warranties of the other Party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered under this Agreement, or (c) subject to

requires further approval or adoption by the shareholders of the Company or stockholders of PubCo, as applicable, without such
further approval or adoption. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an
instrument in writing signed by such Party. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise
shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.
Section 9.10 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement (and the exhibits hereto), the Company Disclosure Letter, the PubCo Disclosure Letter, the
certificates delivered hereunder, the PubCo Voting Agreements, the Company Voting Agreements, and the Confidentiality Agreement
contain all of the terms, conditions and representations and warranties agreed to by the Parties relating to the subject matter of
this Agreement and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, correspondence, undertakings, understandings,
representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No
representation, warranty, inducement, promise, understanding or condition not set forth in such documents has been made or relied
upon by any of the Parties.
Section 9.11 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except (a) for the Parties, (b) as provided in Section 5.08 (Directors’ and
Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance), and (c) the rights of Covered Persons under Section 5.17, nothing in this
Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties and their respective successors
and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement. The
representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of
the Parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section
9.09 without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement
may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any
of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in
this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.
Section 9.12 Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of
that provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be
substituted for that provision in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision,
and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected
by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of that provision,
or the application of that provision, in any other jurisdiction. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith
to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner so
that the Transactions may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
Section 9.13 Rules
of Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. If an ambiguity or a
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no
presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this
Agreement. Subject to and without limiting the introductory language to Article III and Article IV, each Party has or
may have set forth information in the Company Disclosure Letter and PubCo Disclosure Letter, as applicable, in a section of
such disclosure letter that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates. The fact that any item of
information is disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter or PubCo Disclosure Letter shall not constitute an admission by the
Company or PubCo, respectively, that such item is material, that such item has had or would have a Company Material Adverse Effect
or PubCo Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be, or that the disclosure of such be construed to mean that such information is
required to be disclosed by this Agreement.
Section 9.14 Assignment.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors and assigns. No
Party may assign or delegate, by operation of law or otherwise, all or any portion of its rights or Liabilities under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section
9.13 shall be null and void.
Section 9.15 Remedies.
No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a
waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing
under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available except as otherwise
provided Section 9.15, the exercise by a Party of any one remedy hereunder shall not preclude the exercise by it of any other
remedy hereunder to the extent permitted herein; provided, however, that, without limiting the ability of the Company to pursue both
specific performance pursuant to Section 9.15 (subject to the terms and conditions therein) prior to a valid termination of
this Agreement and payment of the PubCo Termination Fee, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to
receive both a grant of (a) specific performance pursuant to Section 9.15 (subject to the terms and conditions therein), and
(b) the payment the PubCo Termination Fee. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Company seeks, but does not granted the
remedy of specific performance pursuant to Section 9.16, the Company will still be entitled to receive payment of the
Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.06 (subject to the terms and conditions therein).
Section 9.16 Specific
Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable injury would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, and further agree that the right of specific
performance is an integral part of this Agreement and without that right the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement.
Further, it is explicitly agreed that the Parties shall have the right to an injunction or specific performance to the other
Party’s obligations to consummate the Transactions. It is further agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction
or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to
enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or
other court of the United States as specified in Section 9.05, and the Parties hereby waive any requirement for the posting of
any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction or specific
performance on the basis that (i) any other Party has an adequate remedy at law, or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate
remedy for any reason at law or equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that their respective rights under this Section
9.15 shall terminate upon the Company’s receipt of the PubCo Termination Fee.
Section 9.17 Counterparts;
Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an
original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this
Agreement and signature pages by email in .pdf or .tif format (including any electronic signature complying with the U.S. ESIGN Act
of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial
appearance of a document, or by combination of such means, shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to
the Parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Such execution and delivery shall be considered
valid, binding and effective for all purposes.
Section 9.18 Non-Recourse.
This Agreement may only be enforced against the named Parties. All legal proceedings, Legal Actions, obligations, losses, damages,
claims or causes of action (whether in contract, in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute whether by or through attempted
piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise under,
out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to (i) this Agreement or any of the other agreements or documents
contemplated hereby, (ii) the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any of the documents contemplated hereby
(including any representation or warranty made in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement or any of the other
agreements or documents contemplated hereby), (iii) any breach or violation of this Agreement (including the failure of any
representation and warranty to be true or accurate) or any of the other agreements or documents contemplated hereby, and (iv) any
failure of the Transactions or the other agreements or documents contemplated hereby to be consummated, in the case of clauses (i)
and (iv), may be made only against (and are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly named as parties to this Agreement, the
PubCo Voting Agreements, and the Confidentiality Agreement, and then only to the extent of the specific obligations of such Persons
set forth in this Agreement, the PubCo Voting Agreements, or the Confidentiality Agreement, as applicable. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Party covenants, agrees
and acknowledges that (except to the extent named as a party, the PubCo Voting Agreements, or the Confidentiality Agreement, and
then only to the extent of the specific obligations of such parties set forth in this Agreement, the PubCo Voting Agreements, or the
Confidentiality Agreement, as applicable) no recourse under this Agreement, any related document or any documents or instruments
delivered in connection with this Agreement or any related document shall be had against any Company Related Party or PubCo Related
Party, whether in contract, tort, equity, law or granted by statute whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate,
limited partnership or limited liability company veil or otherwise.

or to make such filings and notifications, would not, either individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the performance
by such Stockholder of any of such Stockholder’s obligations hereunder.

shares of PubCo Common Stock, PubCo Preferred Stock, or other voting interests will, without further action of the parties, be deemed
Covered Shares held by such Stockholder and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the number of shares of PubCo Common Stock held

to (i) convert, exercise or exchange any options, warrants or convertible securities in order to obtain underlying shares of PubCo Common

rights with respect to the Covered Shares, to vote and exercise all voting and related rights, including the right to sign such Stockholder’s
name (solely in its capacity as a stockholder) to any stockholder consent, if Stockholder is unable to perform or otherwise does not perform
his, her or its obligations under this Agreement, with respect to such Covered Shares solely with respect to the matters set forth in
Section 3.01. Such Stockholder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest hereunder until the Termination
Date, hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by Stockholder with respect to the Covered Shares and represents that none of such previously-granted
proxies are irrevocable. The irrevocable proxy and power of attorney granted herein shall survive the death or incapacity of Stockholder
and the obligations of Stockholder shall be binding on Stockholder’s heirs, personal representatives, successors, transferees and
assigns. Stockholder hereby agrees not to grant any subsequent powers of attorney or proxies with respect to any Covered Shares with respect
to the matters set forth in Section 3.01 until after the Termination Date. Such Stockholder hereby affirms that the proxy set forth
in this Article VII is given in connection with and granted in consideration of and as an inducement to the Company, PubCo and
Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and that such proxy is given to secure the obligations of Stockholder under Section 3.01.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this irrevocable proxy shall automatically terminate upon the Termination Date.

to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim,
derivative or otherwise, that may be brought against PubCo or any of its successors and assigns relating to the negotiation, execution
or delivery of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; provided

any breach of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement by PubCo.

of any party hereto, for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination hereof or such party’s fraud.
Article
XI. Miscellaneous.
Section 11.01 Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance
shall be held invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority,
the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in
no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Upon such a holding, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement
so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner, in order that the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
Section 11.02 Assignment.
Except in connection with a Transfer of any Covered Shares in accordance with Article II, neither this Agreement nor any of the
rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties
without the prior written consent of the other parties and any purported assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void ab initio.
Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 11.03 Amendment
and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or waived by any party only if such amendment or waiver is in writing and
is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver
is to be effective. Any failure of any of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition in this Agreement
may be waived by any of the parties entitled to the benefit thereof only by a written instrument signed by each such party granting such
waiver. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall
any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable Law or
in equity.
Section 11.04 Specific
Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy,
would occur 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 or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other
remedy to which the parties are entitled at law or in equity, (i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific
performance or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches or threatened or anticipated breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the courts described in Section 11.08, without proof of damages or otherwise, and
(ii) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, none of
the parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties agrees that it waives the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law
and will not oppose the granting of an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that (A)
the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or (B) an award of an injunction, specific Performance or other equitable relief is not
an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions
to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section
11.04 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings and notifications, would not, either individually or in the aggregate,

threatened against such Stockholder that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the performance by such Stockholder of his,

rights, including the right to sign such Stockholder’s name (solely in its capacity as a stockholder) to any stockholder consent,
if Stockholder is unable to perform or otherwise does not perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement, with respect to such
Covered Shares solely with respect to the matters set forth in Section 3.01. Such Stockholder intends this proxy to be irrevocable
and coupled with an interest hereunder until the Termination Date, hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by Stockholder with respect
to the Covered Shares and represents that none of such previously-granted proxies are irrevocable. The irrevocable proxy and power of
attorney granted herein shall survive the death or incapacity of Stockholder and the obligations of Stockholder shall be binding on Stockholder’s
heirs, personal representatives, successors, transferees and assigns. Stockholder hereby agrees not to grant any subsequent powers of
attorney or proxies with respect to any Covered Shares with respect to the matters set forth in Section 3.01 until after the Termination

consideration of and as an inducement to the Company, PubCo and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and that such proxy is
given to secure the obligations of Stockholder under Section 3.01. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
this irrevocable proxy shall automatically terminate upon the Termination Date.

Stockholder agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with
respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, that may be brought against the Company or any of its successors and assigns relating
to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby; provided that this Article VIII shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights of any Stockholder or such
Stockholder’s Affiliates for any breach of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement by the Company.

fraud.
Article

Section
11.01 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement or the application of any such provision
to any person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction
or other Governmental Authority, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Upon such a holding, the parties hereto agree to negotiate
in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner,
in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
Section
11.02 Assignment. Except in connection with a Transfer of any Covered Shares in accordance with Article II, neither
this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law
or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties and any purported assignment in violation hereof
shall be null and void ab initio. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Section
11.03 Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or waived by any party only if such amendment or waiver
is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party
against whom the waiver is to be effective. Any failure of any of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition
in this Agreement may be waived by any of the parties entitled to the benefit thereof only by a written instrument signed by each such
party granting such waiver. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by applicable Law or in equity.
Section
11.04 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would
not be an adequate remedy, would occur 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 or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that,
in addition to any other remedy to which the parties are entitled at law or in equity, (i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction
or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches or threatened or anticipated breaches of this Agreement
and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the courts described in Section 11.08, without proof
of damages or otherwise, and (ii) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby
and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties agrees that it waives the defense
of adequacy of a remedy at law and will not oppose the granting of an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable
relief on the basis that (A) the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or (B) an award of an injunction, specific Performance
or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party
seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this
Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.04 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with
any such order or injunction.
