(e) If IMC Parent or the CareMax Group, as applicable, believes in good faith that any of the IMC Share Price Triggers or the CareMax Share Price Triggers, as applicable, set forth in Section 1.03(a) or Section 1.03(b), as applicable, have been achieved and DFHT does not cause the IMC Earnout Shares or the CareMax Earnout Shares, as applicable, to be issued, each of IMC Parent and the CareMax Group shall be entitled to deliver a written notice of objection to DFHT within thirty (30) Business Days following the last day of the month in which IMC Parent or the CareMax Group, as applicable, believes in good faith that the IMC Share Price Trigger or the CareMax Share Price Trigger, as applicable, was achieved (an “Objection Notice”). If either of IMC Parent or the CareMax Group delivers an Objection Notice, DFHT and each of IMC Parent and the CareMax Group shall, during the thirty (30)-day period following delivery of such Objection Notice, negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement. If, upon completion of such thirty (30)-day period, the Parties are unable to reach agreement, any applicable Party shall promptly thereafter cause an independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the other applicable Parties (the “Independent Accountant”) to review this Agreement and the disputed price and/or dates for the purpose of determining whether any of the IMC Share Price Triggers or the CareMax Share Price Triggers, as the case may be, was achieved; provided, that the Independent Accountant may consider only those items as to which the applicable Parties have disagreed; provided, further, that the Independent Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator. The applicable Parties shall require the Independent Accountant to deliver to them, as promptly as practicable, its determination of whether the IMC Share Price Triggers or the CareMax Share Price Triggers, as the case may be, was achieved. Such determination will be final and binding upon the applicable Parties. The fees and expenses charged by the Independent Accountant shall be borne by DFHT.

(f) Any issuance of IMC Earnout Shares or CareMax Earnout Shares (i) is intended to comply with, and shall be effected in accordance with, Rev. Proc. 84-42, 1984-1 C.B. 521; and (ii) shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the IMC Closing Date Equity Consideration or CareMax Closing Date Equity Consideration, as applicable, unless otherwise required by applicable Tax law, as further detailed in Section 6.05(g), or with respect to any amounts treated as imputed interest under Section 483 of the Code.
Section 1.04 No Fractional Shares.

Section 1.09 Final Closing Date Cash Consideration and Final Closing Date Equity Consideration.
(a) Determination. As promptly as possible, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, DFHT in consultation with Sponsor shall prepare and deliver to each Seller (i) an unaudited, consolidated balance sheet of the applicable Company Group as of the Closing together with a statement setting forth DFHT’s good faith calculation of, with respect to the applicable Company Group, (A) the Working Capital, (B) the Cash Amount, (C) the outstanding amount of all Payoff Indebtedness as of the Closing, (D) Expenses as of the Closing, and (E) based on the amounts set forth in clauses (A) through (C), the (x) IMC Closing Date Cash Consideration and IMC Closing Date Equity Consideration, or (y) CareMax Closing Date Cash Consideration and CareMax Closing Date Equity Consideration, as applicable (each a “Closing Statement”) and (ii) all documentation reasonably necessary to compute and verify the information set forth in such Closing Statement. After delivery of the applicable Closing Statement by DFHT, such Seller and its Representatives shall be permitted to make inquiries of DFHT and its Representatives regarding questions, concerns, or disagreements with respect to such Closing Statement arising in the course of their review thereof. If such Seller has any objections to any of the items set forth in such Closing Statement, then such Seller will deliver to DFHT a statement (an “Objection Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail those items that it disputes (the “Objection Disputes”), the basis for each such Objection Dispute and, to the extent practical, such Seller’s proposed resolution of each such Objection Dispute, and attaching reasonably detailed supporting documentation. If an Objection Statement is not delivered to DFHT within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Statement by such Seller, then such Closing Statement as originally delivered by DFHT shall be final, binding, and non-appealable by the Parties. If an Objection Statement is timely delivered, then DFHT and such Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Objection Disputes, but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of such Objection Statement (the “Negotiation Period”), such Seller and DFHT shall retain and submit each unresolved Objection Dispute to (A) PricewaterhouseCoopers or, (B) if PricewaterhouseCoopers is not available or is not independent at such time, another independent accounting firm set forth on Schedule 1.09(a) (the “Independent Auditor”) to resolve such Objection Disputes. If, during the Negotiation Period, such Seller and DFHT are able to resolve any Objection Disputes, then such amounts as agreed upon in writing shall become final, binding, non-appealable, and conclusive on the Parties. The Independent Auditor shall be instructed to set forth a procedure to provide for prompt resolution of any unresolved Objection Disputes and, in any event, to make its determination in respect of such Objection Disputes within thirty (30) days following its retention. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Auditor shall also resolve any disputes which may arise as to whether the terms and procedures of this Section 1.09(a) have been complied with by the Parties. Neither DFHT nor such Seller shall have or conduct any communication, either written or oral, with the Independent Auditor without the other Party either being present (or having waived or declined its right to be present) or receiving a concurrent copy of any written communication. DFHT and such Seller, and their respective Representatives, shall cooperate fully with the Independent Auditor during its engagement and respond on a timely basis to all reasonable requests for information or access to documents or personnel made by the Independent Auditor, all with the intent to fairly and in good faith resolve all Objection Disputes as promptly as reasonably practicable. The Parties shall be entitled to have a judgment entered on such written report in any court of competent jurisdiction. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Auditor (w) may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either DFHT or such Seller, or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either DFHT or such Seller, in each case, contained in such Closing Statement or Objection Dispute, as applicable, (x) shall be bound by the principles set forth in this Agreement, (y) shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator, and (z) shall limit its review to the unresolved Objection Disputes specifically set forth in the Objection Statement. The Independent Auditor’s determination of such Objection Disputes shall be final and binding upon the Parties. The fees, costs and expenses of such Independent Auditor incurred in resolving the disputed matter shall be equitably apportioned by such Independent Auditor based on the extent to which DFHT, on the one hand, or such Seller, on the other hand, is determined by the Independent Auditor to be the prevailing Party in the resolution of such unresolved Objection Disputes. The final Closing Statement, however determined pursuant to this Section 1.09(a), will produce the Working Capital, the Cash Amount, the outstanding amount of all Payoff Indebtedness, in each case with respect to the applicable Company Group, to be used to determine the final IMC Closing Date Cash Consideration and final IMC Closing Date Equity Consideration or final CareMax Closing Date Cash Consideration and final CareMax Closing Date Equity Consideration, as applicable.
7
(b) Payment of Post-Closing Adjustment.
(i) For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Post-Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to:
(A) for IMC Parent, (x) (the IMC Closing Date Cash Consideration, as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.09(a), plus the IMC Closing Date Equity Consideration Absolute Value), minus (y) (the Estimated IMC Closing Date Cash Consideration plus the Estimated IMC Closing Date Equity Consideration Absolute Value); and
(B) for the CareMax Group, (x) (the CareMax Closing Date Cash Consideration, as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.09(a), plus the CareMax Closing Date Equity Consideration Absolute Value), minus (y) (the Estimated CareMax Closing Date Cash Consideration plus the Estimated CareMax Closing Date Equity Consideration Absolute Value).
(ii) To the extent the applicable Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive amount (an “Excess Amount”), then, within three (3) Business Days following the final, binding, non-appealable, and conclusive determination of the IMC Closing Date Cash Consideration and IMC Closing Date Equity Consideration or the CareMax Closing Date Cash Consideration and CareMax Closing Date Equity Consideration, as applicable, in accordance with Section 1.09(a) (each, an “Adjustment Determination Date”), (A) first, the applicable Seller and DFHT shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver from the applicable Escrow Account to such Seller, the applicable DFHT Class A Common Stock and, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Seller, the cash portion of the IMC Escrow Amount or the CareMax Escrow Amount, as applicable, together with any dividends paid with respect to such shares, and (B) upon exhaustion of the Escrow Amount, if applicable, DFHT shall pay or issue, as applicable, to (x) IMC Parent, the IMC Adjustment Equity and forty-five percent (45%) of the applicable Excess Amount, if any, in cash and (y) to the CareMax Group, the CareMax Adjustment Equity and sixty-eight percent (68%) of the applicable Excess Amount, if any, in cash. Any amount payable to such Seller by DFHT pursuant to this Section 1.09(b) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such accounts as such Seller may specify in writing.
(iii) To the extent the applicable Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative amount (the absolute value of such amount, a “Shortfall Amount”), then, within three (3) Business Days following the applicable Adjustment Determination Date, the applicable Seller and DFHT shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver from the applicable Escrow Account to DFHT, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by DFHT with respect to the cash amount and to an address designated in writing by DFHT with respect to the DFHT Class A Common Stock (which shares shall be canceled), such Shortfall Amount. In the event the applicable Escrow Amount exceeds such Shortfall Amount, such Seller and DFHT shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver from the applicable Escrow Account to such Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Seller with respect to the cash amount and to an address designated in writing by such Seller with respect to the DFHT Class A Common Stock, an amount equal to the IMC Escrow Amount or the CareMax Escrow Amount, as applicable, less such Shortfall Amount. The payment of the applicable Shortfall Amount (if any) from the IMC Escrow Account shall be made, as close as reasonably possible, such that forty-five (45%) of such payment is made in cash and fifty-five percent (55%) of such payment is made in DFHT Class A Common Stock (which shall be valued as set forth in the IMC Escrow Agreement); provided, that the Parties acknowledge that fluctuations in the value of the DFHT Class A Common Stock may make maintaining such 45/55 ratio impossible. The payment of the applicable Shortfall Amount (if any) from the CareMax Escrow Account shall be made, as close as reasonably possible, such that sixty-eight percent (68%) of such payment is made in cash and thirty-two percent (32%) of such payment is made in DFHT Class A Common Stock (which shall be valued as set forth in the CareMax Escrow Agreement); provided, that the Parties acknowledge that fluctuations in the value of the DFHT Class A Common Stock may make maintaining such 68/32 ratio impossible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, DFHT’s sole recourse for payment of such Shortfall Amount shall be the applicable Escrow Account, and neither DFHT nor any of its Affiliates shall have any claim against such Seller or any of its Affiliates for any portion of the Shortfall Amount.

(iv) To the extent the applicable Post-Closing Adjustment is $0, such Seller and DFHT shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver from the applicable Escrow Account to such Seller, the applicable DFHT Class A Common Stock and, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by such Seller, the cash portion of the IMC Escrow Amount or the CareMax Escrow Amount, as applicable, together with any dividends paid with respect to such shares.
(v) The amount of any Excess Amount or Shortfall Amount, as applicable, paid pursuant to Section 1.09(b)(ii) or Section 1.09(b)(iii) shall be deemed an adjustment to the IMC Consideration or the CareMax Consideration, as applicable, to the extent such adjustment affects any amounts that are due to or from such Seller.
Section 1.10 Preparation of Estimated Closing Statement and Closing Statement; Cooperation.

Each Estimated Closing Statement and Closing Statement (and all calculations of Estimated Working Capital, Estimated Cash Amount, Working Capital and the Cash Amount, as applicable) shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied and, to the extent consistent with GAAP, with the same accounting methodologies, principles, and procedures used in, and on a basis consistent with, those applied by the applicable Company Group in preparing its Financial Statements (including calculating reserves in accordance with the same methodology used to calculate such reserves in preparation of its Financial Statements), except that such Estimated Closing Statement or Closing Statement (and all calculations of Estimated Working Capital, Estimated Cash Amount, Working Capital and the Cash Amount, as applicable) shall: (i) not include any purchase accounting or other adjustment arising out of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) not reflect or take into account developments between of 12:00 a.m. on the Closing Date and the date of preparation or completion of the calculation of the applicable Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.09, except for those developments that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, but without taking into account any of the transactions to occur thereafter.

During the Interim Period, each Seller shall give, and shall cause each member of the Company Group to give DFHT and its Representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice (of at least twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice), during normal business hours to the senior management, properties, books and records of the Company Group and, during such period, shall furnish to DFHT and its Representatives such additional financial and operating data and other information regarding the business of the Company Group as DFHT and its Representatives may reasonably request, including providing reasonable access to and copies of all relevant books, records and Contracts related to any acquisition or investment listed in Section 6.04(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and any proposed acquisition or investment pursuant to Section 6.01(b), for purposes of familiarizing itself with such properties and other matters and consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted during normal business hours, under the supervision of such Company’s personnel, and in such a manner as to not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of such Company or Company Subsidiary or in light of COVID-19 or any COVID-19 Measures, jeopardize the health or safety of any employee of such Company (which may require remote and telephonic meetings), and (b) neither Company nor any member of the Company Group is under any obligation to disclose hereunder any information the disclosure of which is restricted by a Contract in effect as of the date of this Agreement or applicable Law (including competition laws and any COVID-19 Measures) or would result in the waiver of any attorney-client, work product or other applicable privilege; provided, further, that in any such case, the applicable Parties shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide DFHT and its Representatives with such access as can be provided (or otherwise convey such information regarding the applicable matter as can be conveyed) in a manner that does not violate any such applicable Contract, Law (including HIPAA) or attorney-client, work product or other applicable privilege. No investigation pursuant to this Section 6.02 or information provided, made available or delivered pursuant to this Agreement will affect or be deemed to modify any of the representations or warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement or the conditions hereunder to the obligations of the Parties hereto.

Section 6.03 Efforts to Consummate; Consents and Filings.
(a) Each of the Parties and their respective Affiliates shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the Transactions as promptly as practicable, including to (i) obtain from any Governmental Authority with regulatory jurisdiction over enforcement of any applicable Antitrust Laws (“Governmental Antitrust Authority”), all Approvals as are necessary for the consummation of the Transactions and (ii) promptly (and, with respect to the HSR Act, in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof) make all necessary filings (and if required under applicable Law, drafts thereof), and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to the Transactions required under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law. DFHT shall pay any and all of the applicable filing fees in connection with the HSR Act required in connection with this Agreement.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the Parties’ undertaking pursuant to Section 6.03(a), each Party agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all steps necessary to obtain all consents, approvals, and waivers under any Antitrust Law that may be required by any Governmental Authority to enable the Parties to close the Transactions no later than the Outside Date, excluding (i) proposing, negotiating, committing to, and/or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, transfer, license, disposition, or hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of such assets, properties, or businesses of the Parties or their Subsidiaries or Affiliates as are required to be divested in order to avoid the entry of any decree, judgment, injunction (permanent or preliminary), or any other Order that would make the Transactions unlawful or would otherwise materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) terminating, modifying, or assigning existing relationships, Contracts, or obligations of the Parties, their Subsidiaries or Affiliates or those relating to any assets, properties, or businesses to be acquired by DFHT pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) changing or modifying any course of conduct regarding future operations of the Parties, their Subsidiaries or Affiliates or the assets, properties, or businesses to be acquired by DFHT pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Antitrust Authority with respect to the Transactions. In connection therewith, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging such transactions, each Party shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any Order that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of such transactions.
(c) Each of the Parties shall promptly notify the other Parties of any substantive communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Antitrust Authority and of any substantive communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement, and consult each other Party prior to any substantive communication with any Governmental Antitrust Authority to permit the other Parties to review in advance any proposed communication by such Party to any Governmental Antitrust Authority. No Party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any substantive meeting with any Governmental Antitrust Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry (including in connection with any proceeding by a private party) unless it consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Antitrust Authority, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, the Parties will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other Parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination or expiration of the waiting period of any applicable waiting periods, including under the HSR Act. Subject to each of the Confidentiality Agreements, the Parties will provide each other with copies of all material/substantive correspondence, filings (except for Item 4(c) and 4(d) documents) or communications between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Antitrust Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.03, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to require any Party to take or agree to take any action in response to a condition or requirement imposed by a Governmental Authority in connection with granting a Permit or other consent or approval if such action, individually or in the aggregate, would or would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company Group, taken as a whole (immediately following the Closing) (each of such actions, a “Burdensome Condition”). None of the Parties nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall take any action that has the effect of, or agree with any Governmental Authority to a Burdensome Condition without the prior written consent of the other Parties.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Closing occurs, DFHT shall reimburse IMC Parent or CareMax, as applicable, for any purchase price paid, or Expenses paid to third-party advisors, including any and all fees, costs, and expenses paid by IMC Parent or CareMax (or any of their respective direct or indirect Subsidiaries) in connection with any acquisitions or investments approved in accordance with Section 6.01(b) prior to the Closing; provided, that the transactions set forth on Section 6.04(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedules are approved by the DFHT and DFHT shall reimburse the applicable Seller in accordance herewith.
Section 6.05 Tax Matters.
(a) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes and real property transfer gains Taxes and including any filing and recording fees) and related amounts (including any penalties, interest and additions to Tax) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Related Documents (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid (i) in the case where such Transfer Taxes relate to the payment of the CareMax Consideration, fifty percent (50%) by DFHT, as incurred, and fifty percent (50%) by the CareMax Group and (ii) in the case where such Transfer Taxes relate to the payment of the IMC Consideration, fifty percent (50%) by DFHT, as incurred, and fifty percent (50%) by IMC Parent; provided however, that any Transfer Taxes imposed with respect to the CareMax Pre-Closing Reorganization and the Pre-Closing Transfer shall be borne 100% by the CareMax Group.
(b) Each Seller shall have the authority and obligation (at its sole cost and expense) to prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns of the members of the applicable Company Group that are due with respect to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date (each such Tax Return, a “Pre-Closing Return”); provided, that each Seller shall submit all Pre-Closing Returns (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Pre-Closing Returns that have not been filed as of the date hereof but are required to be filed on or before the Closing Date) to DFHT no later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date of such Pre-Closing Returns for its review, comment and approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such Pre-Closing Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Pre-Closing Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices of the applicable Company Group, or if past practice is inconsistent with applicable Law, consistent with applicable Law, with respect to such items. If DFHT consents to such Pre-Closing Returns, the applicable member of the Company Group shall execute and file such Tax Returns as prepared by such Seller. In addition, such Seller shall pay, on or prior to five (5) days before the due date, any amount due and payable by the applicable member of the Company Group on such Pre-Closing Returns, except to the extent any such amount was (i) paid on, or prior to, the Closing Date or (ii) included in Indebtedness and increased a payment to, or reduced a payment by, DFHT hereunder.
54
(c) DFHT shall have the exclusive authority to prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the members of the Company Group for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date, including Tax Returns of the members of the Company Group that are due with respect to any Straddle Period (“Straddle Period Returns”); provided, however, that drafts of any Straddle Period Returns shall be provided to each Seller for its review, comment and approval at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of such Straddle Period Returns, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such approval may only be withheld to the extent both (i) such Straddle Period Return has not been prepared in accordance with past practice and applicable Law and (ii) and such deviation from past practice and applicable Law would have an adverse effect on such Seller under this Agreement. To the extent that any Seller is responsible for any Taxes for a Straddle Period, as determined in accordance with Section 6.05(d), such Seller shall cause such Taxes to be paid to DFHT no later than five (5) days prior to the due date of such Taxes, except to the extent any such amount was (i) paid on, or prior to, the Closing Date or (ii) included in Indebtedness and increased a payment to, or reduced a payment by, DFHT hereunder.
(d) All Taxes of (or with respect to the income, assets or operations of) the members of the Company Group that relate to any Straddle Period shall be determined as follows: (i) in the case of ad valorem and property taxes, on a per diem basis; and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, as determined from the books and records of the Company Group as though the taxable year of each member of the Company Group terminated at the close of business on the Closing Date.
(e) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, a “push out” election pursuant to Section 6226 of the Code (or any state or local equivalent thereof) with respect to CareMax or any Subsidiary of CareMax or any of the CareMax Contributed Entities (as applicable) that is or previously has been, as of the Closing Date, treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, shall be made, or caused to be made, in connection with any imputed underpayment of Taxes for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date.
(f) Each Seller shall terminate or cause to be terminated any and all of the tax sharing, allocation, indemnification or similar agreements, arrangements or undertakings in effect, written or unwritten, on the Closing Date as between such Seller or any predecessor or Affiliate thereof, on the one hand, and any member of the Company Group, on the other hand, for all Taxes, regardless of the period in which such Taxes are imposed, and there shall be no continuing obligation to make any payments under any such agreements, arrangements or undertakings.
(g) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes and applicable state and local Tax purposes, except with respect to any amounts treated as imputed interest under Section 483 of the Code, (i) (A) the exchange by the CareMax Group of CareMax Units for the CareMax Consideration (as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement), (B) the exchange by IMC Parent of IMC Units for the IMC Consideration (as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement), and (C) the contribution to DFHT by the PIPE Investors in exchange for the PIPE Investment, by Deerfield Partners in exchange for the Deerfield PIPE and by the Sponsor in exchange for the Deerfield Sponsor PIPE, together are intended to be treated as an integrated transaction qualifying under Section 351 of Code; and (ii) from the perspective of DFHT, the exchange by the CareMax Group of the CareMax Units to DFHT for the CareMax Consideration is intended to be treated in accordance with Revenue Ruling 99-6 (Situation 2) as a distribution of all the assets of CareMax in liquidation of CareMax to the CareMax Group, followed by the acquisition by DFHT of the assets deemed distributed to the CareMax Group (the “CareMax Assets”) in exchange for the CareMax Consideration. Unless otherwise required by a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code, the Parties further agree to file all U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. Tax Returns consistent with this Section 6.05(g) and shall not take any action before or after the Closing that is inconsistent with the foregoing treatment. DFHT shall have obtained in writing, as of the Closing Date, from each PIPE Investor, from the Sponsor, and from Deerfield Partners, as applicable, a representation that such PIPE Investor, the Sponsor, or Deerfield Partners, as the case may be has no binding commitment to dispose of any of the shares of DFHT Class A Common Stock received in connection with the PIPE Investment the Deerfield PIPE or the Deerfield Sponsor PIPE, as applicable, and IMC Parent and CareMax Group shall make no binding commitment to dispose of any of the shares of DFHT Class A Common Stock received pursuant to this Agreement. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, DFHT shall provide to IMC Parent and the CareMax Group the Specified Written Documentation.
55
(h) The Parties agree that the CareMax Consideration shall be allocated in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Parties agree that DFHT shall prepare and provide to the CareMax Group a draft allocation of the CareMax Consideration among the CareMax Assets within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. The CareMax Group shall notify DFHT within thirty (30) days of receipt of such draft allocation of any objection the Sellers may have thereto. Unless the CareMax Group delivers a notice of objection with respect to the allocation of the CareMax Consideration by the conclusion of such thirty (30) day period, the draft allocation provided by DFHT to the CareMax Group pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 6.05(h) shall become final and binding upon the Parties. DFHT and the CareMax Group agree to resolve any disagreement with respect to such allocation in good faith. If DFHT and the CareMax Group are unable to timely resolve such disagreement within thirty (30) days following the delivery of such a notice of objection, then any remaining disputed matters shall be finally and conclusively determined by a mutually agreed arbitrator, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by DFHT and the CareMax Group in a manner determined by such arbitrator. In addition, the Parties hereby undertake and agree to file timely any information that may be required to be filed pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1060(b) of the Code, and shall use an agreed allocation determined pursuant to this Section 6.05(h) in connection with the preparation of Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 as such Form relates to the CareMax Assets. No Party shall file any Tax Return or other document or otherwise take any position which is inconsistent with an agreed allocation determined pursuant to this Section 6.05(h), except as may be adjusted by subsequent agreement following an audit by the Internal Revenue Service or as required by Law; provided, that no Party (nor their Affiliates) shall be obligated to litigate any challenge to such allocation of the CareMax Consideration by any Tax Authority. The Parties shall promptly inform one another of any challenge by any Tax Authority to any agreed allocation made pursuant to this Section 6.05(h) and agree to consult with and keep one another informed with respect to the state of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.

56
(ii) With respect to any Tax Matter for Income Taxes with respect to a member of the CareMax Company Group relating solely to a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, the CareMax Group shall have the authority, at its sole cost and expense, to represent the interests of the CareMax Company Group before any Tax Authority or any court and shall have the right to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of such Tax Matter, including responding to inquiries, filing Tax Returns and contesting, defending against and resolving any assessment for additional Taxes or notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of, or relating to, such Tax Matter; provided, however, that neither the CareMax Group nor any of its Affiliates shall enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any Tax Matter without the prior written consent of DFHT, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The CareMax Group shall (i) keep DFHT reasonably well informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any Tax Matter, (ii) allow DFHT, at their sole cost, to participate in any such proceeding and (iii) allow DFHT to make comments to the CareMax Group regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding.

DFHT shall (i) keep such Seller reasonably well informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Tax Matter, (ii) allow such Seller, at its sole cost, to participate in any such proceeding and (iii) allow such Seller to make comments to DFHT regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such proceeding.
(j) After the Closing Date, DFHT and the Company Group, on the one hand, and the applicable Seller, on the other hand, shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (including access to books, records, work papers and Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods) relating to the applicable Company Group as is reasonably necessary for the preparation of any Tax Return, claim for refund or audit, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any proposed Tax adjustment.

Any request for information or documents pursuant to this Section 6.05(j) shall be made by the requesting Party in writing. The other Parties shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the request) provide the requested information. The requesting Party shall reimburse the other Party for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Party in connection with providing any information or documentation pursuant to this Section 6.05(j).

Each of DFHT and the Companies further agrees that no advancement or payment by any Former Stockholder Indemnitor with respect to any claim for which the D&O Indemnified Persons have sought indemnification pursuant hereto shall affect the foregoing and such Former Stockholder Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the D&O Indemnified Persons against the Companies and DFHT.
(c) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, DFHT shall cause the Companies to, and the Companies shall, maintain and fully pay for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering (as direct beneficiaries) all D&O Indemnified Persons, in each case of the type and with the amount of coverage no less favorable than those of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained as of the date of this Agreement by, or for the benefit of, the Company Group (the “Current Policies”), and with such other terms as are no less favorable than those in the Current Policies; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the Companies be obligated to pay annual premiums greater than three hundred percent (300)% of such premiums paid or payable as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) if the annual premium for such coverage and amount of insurance would exceed three hundred percent (300%) of such current annual rate, the Companies shall provide the maximum coverage which shall then be available at an annual premium not exceeding three hundred percent (300%) of such rate. DFHT shall cause the Companies to, and the Companies shall, maintain any such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in full force and effect for its full term, and honor all obligations thereunder (including the payment of any applicable premiums).

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.08 shall survive the Closing and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Person, and each D&O Indemnified Person’s heirs, legatees, representatives, successors and assigns, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of DFHT and the Companies and may not be terminated or amended in any manner adverse to such D&O Indemnified Person without its prior written consent and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise.
Section 6.09 Employment Agreements.

Section 6.10 280G Equityholder Vote.
(a) IMC shall use its reasonable best efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, IMC shall have obtained prior to the initiation of the requisite equityholder approval procedure under Section 6.10(b) below, a waiver of the right to receive payments that could constitute “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (a “Parachute Payment Waiver”), in a form reasonably acceptable to DFHT, from each Person whom IMC and/or DFHT reasonably believes is, with respect to IMC, a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), as determined immediately prior to the initiation of the requisite equityholder approval procedure under Section 6.10(b), and whom IMC and/or DFHT believes might otherwise receive, have received, or have the right or entitlement to receive any parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code, and IMC shall have delivered each such Parachute Payment Waiver to DFHT as soon as reasonably practicable on or before the Closing Date. IMC shall have delivered each such Parachute Payment Waiver it has received to DFHT as soon as reasonably practicable on or before the Closing Date.
(b) IMC shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval by such number of equityholders of IMC as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code so as to render the parachute payment provisions of Section 280G of the Code inapplicable to any and all payments and/or benefits provided pursuant to contracts or arrangements that, in the absence of the executed Parachute Payment Waivers by the affected Persons under Section 6.10(a), might otherwise result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any amount and/or the provision of any benefit that would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code, with such equityholder approval to be obtained in a manner which satisfies all applicable requirements of such Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-I of such Treasury Regulations.

DFHT and the Companies shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to have any comments to the Proxy Statement (in consultation with the Sellers in accordance with this Section 6.14) received from the SEC “cleared” as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt of any such comments, and DFHT shall thereafter, in compliance with the relevant requirements of the Exchange Act, mail or deliver to the stockholders of DFHT the definitive Proxy Statement.
(b) Prior to filing with the SEC, DFHT will make available to the Companies and their respective counsel drafts of the Proxy Statement and any other documents to be filed with the SEC, both preliminary and final, and any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or such other document and will provide the Companies and their respective counsel with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts and shall consider such comments in good faith. DFHT shall not file any such documents with the SEC without the prior written consent (e-mail being sufficient) of the Companies (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). DFHT will advise the Companies and their respective counsels promptly after it receives notice thereof, of: (i) the time when the Proxy Statement has been filed; (ii) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, the expiration of the waiting period in Rule 14a-6(a) under the Exchange Act; (iii) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is reviewed by the SEC, receipt of oral or written notification of the completion of the review by the SEC; (iv) the filing of any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement; (v) the issuance of any stop order by the SEC; (vi) any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement; (vii) any comments from the SEC relating to the Proxy Statement and responses thereto; and (viii) requests by the SEC for additional information.

(c) Each of the Companies and DFHT acknowledges that a substantial portion of the Proxy Statement and certain other forms, reports and other filings required to be made by DFHT under the Exchange Act in connection with the Transactions (collectively, “Additional DFHT Filings”) will include disclosure regarding the Companies and their respective businesses, and their management, operations and financial condition. Accordingly, each Company agrees to promptly provide DFHT with all information concerning each member of the Company Group and the management, operations and financial condition of each member of the Company Group, in each case, reasonably requested by DFHT for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and any Additional DFHT Filings. Each Company shall cause the officers and employees of each member of the Company Group to be reasonably available (during normal business hours) to DFHT and its counsel in connection with the drafting of the Proxy Statement and any Additional DFHT Filings and responding in a timely manner to comments thereto from the SEC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall cooperate with DFHT in connection with the preparation for inclusion in the Proxy Statement of pro forma financial statements that comply with the requirements of Regulation S-X under the rules and regulations of the SEC (as interpreted by the staff of the SEC).
62
(d) Each of the Companies and DFHT shall ensure that none of the information supplied by or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, as of the date the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) is first mailed to the DFHT’s stockholders, at the time of the DFHT Stockholders Meeting, or at the Closing Date, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the Closing any information relating to the Companies, DFHT or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors or officers is discovered by the Companies or DFHT that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to DFHT’s stockholders.
(e) DFHT shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to DFHT’s stockholders and to hold the DFHT Stockholders Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after the earlier of (A) clearance by the SEC of the Proxy Statement and (B) the conclusion of any SEC review of the Proxy Statement (including the conclusion of the ten (10)-day review period for preliminary proxy statements under Rule 14a-6(a) under the Exchange Act without receipt of any SEC comments) and (ii) solicit the DFHT Stockholder Approvals. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, DFHT shall, through the board of directors of DFHT, recommend to its stockholders that they give the DFHT Stockholder Approvals and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.14(e), if on a date for which the DFHT Stockholders Meeting is scheduled, DFHT has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of DFHT Common Stock to obtain the DFHT Stockholder Approvals, whether or not a quorum is present, DFHT shall have the right to make one or more successive reasonable postponements or adjournments of the DFHT Stockholders Meeting.

Section 6.30 PPP Escrow Account . With respect to each PPP Loan:
(a) From time to time, upon the final, non-appealable and irrevocable determination by the applicable Governmental Authority that all or any portion of each respective PPP Loan has been forgiven (such forgiven amount with respect to such PPP Loan, the “Applicable Forgiven Amount”), the CareMax Representative and DFHT shall deliver joint written instructions to the PPP Escrow Agent instructing the PPP Escrow Agent to release from the applicable PPP Escrow Account an amount equal to the Applicable Forgiven Amount to the applicable member of the CareMax Group (subject to the adjustment for the final determination of additional Taxes described below in this Section 6.30(a)). Upon actual receipt of such amount equal to the Applicable Forgiven Amount from the PPP Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable borrower of the CareMax Group, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account designated in writing to the Escrow Agent by the Sellers, an amount equal to (i) the Applicable Forgiven Amount minus (ii) the aggregate amount of any additional Taxes payable by DFHT or its Affiliates (including the applicable Company(ies)) (for these purposes, treating DFHT as an individual resident of the state of Florida) following the Closing that are directly attributable to the forgiveness of the Applicable Forgiven Amount (including, without limitations, non-deductibility of payments under IRS Notice 2020- 32 and Rev. Rul. 2020-27, 2020-50 IRB 1552, as such Notice or Revenue Ruling may be revised, modified, or amplified and any applicable state income tax legislation or guidance regarding the disallowance of deductions in connection with forgiven PPP Loans) (such net amount, the “Applicable Net Governmental PPP Program Proceeds Release Amount”). The amount of additional Taxes described in clause (ii) above shall be determined on a “with and without” basis, and shall equal the excess (if any) of (A) the aggregate amount of any Taxes payable by DFHT or its Affiliates (including the applicable Company(ies)) over (B) the aggregate amount of any Taxes payable by DFHT or its Affiliates (including the applicable Company(ies)) assuming that the Applicable Forgiven Amount were not forgiven. In the event the amount of additional Taxes described in clause (ii) above is not finally determined at the time of the determination of the Applicable Forgiven Amount, the CareMax Representative shall, in accordance with the procedures described above: (i) cause the PPP Escrow Agent to distribute sixty percent (60%) of the Applicable Forgiven Amount to the applicable member of the CareMax Group, which shall promptly pay such amount to the applicable borrower, and (ii) upon the final determination of such additional Taxes, cause the PPP Escrow Agent to distribute the remaining forty percent (40%) of the Applicable Forgiven Amount to the applicable member of the CareMax Group, which shall promptly pay an amount to the applicable borrower equal to (x) the remaining forty percent (40%) of the Applicable Forgiven Amount, minus (y) the amount of such additional Taxes, as finally determined. For the avoidance of doubt, no Applicable Net Governmental PPP Program Proceeds Release Amount shall exist in respect of any portion of the PPP Loan unless there is an Applicable Forgiven Amount that has been actually received by the applicable Company(ies) from the PPP Escrow Account.
71
(b) From time to time, upon any determination by the applicable Governmental Authority that any application for forgiveness in respect of all or any portion of a PPP Loan amount has been denied (such amount, the “Applicable Return Amount”), the CareMax Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the PPP Escrow Agent instructing the PPP Escrow Agent to (x) release from the PPP Escrow Account an amount equal to the Applicable Return Amount to the PPP Lender (or it designee) and (y) if applicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to take such further or other actions to cause the return of the Applicable Return Amount to the PPP Lender (or it designee).
(c) The Sellers and DFHT shall work jointly on, and keep each apprised of, any and all communications with the PPP Lender and the applicable Governmental Authority with respect to matters involving the determination of the Applicable Forgiven Amount, and will provide, or cause to be provided, any records or other information requested by the PPP Lender or the applicable Governmental Authority in connection therewith. In connection with the foregoing, as and when reasonably requested by DFHT, the Sellers’ and the CareMax Representative will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and assurances and will take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other reasonable actions, as DFHT or may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in connection therewith.
(d) The Sellers and DFHT shall, in accordance with Revenue Ruling 2020-27, report any payments which are non-deductible for Tax purposes under IRS Notice 2020-32 in a Pre-Closing Tax Period.
Section 6.31 Lockup Agreements .

Article VIII
survival; release; REMEDIES
Section 8.01 Survival ..

Section 8.02 Mutual Release.
(a) DFHT acknowledges and agrees (and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Company Group) to acknowledge and agree) that, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, other claims and causes of Action it may have against the Sellers and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, and direct and indirect equityholders, and which are based on acts, events or omissions occurring from the beginning of time up to and including the Closing (other than with respect to matters and obligations that survive the Closing solely pursuant to Section 8.01), whether arising under, or based upon, any applicable Law or otherwise (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common law), in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents, are hereby irrevocably released and waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8.02(a) shall be construed to constitute a waiver or release of (i) any claim or cause of Action that DFHT may have under this Agreement or any Related Documents, (ii) any claim arising from any action or inaction constituting Fraud on the part of such Sellers, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, and direct and indirect equityholders, or (iii) the obligations of any insurer under any insurance policy.
75

(c) The Parties hereto agree that the limits imposed on each other’s remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the consideration to be paid hereunder. Each of the Parties acknowledges that the Laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Each of the Parties acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a Party from waiving claims which it does not know exist or may exist. Nonetheless, each of the Parties agrees that, effective as of the Closing, it shall be deemed to waive any such provision and acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of the claims released pursuant to Section 8.02(a) and Section 8.02(b), but that it intends to and, by operation of this Agreement shall have, fully, finally and forever waived and released any and all claims thereunder without regard to the subsequent discovery of existence of such different or additional facts.
Section 8.03 Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided in this Article VIII and the rights to enforce this Agreement and the Related Documents in accordance with their terms shall be deemed the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties, from and after the Closing Date, with respect to any and all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement or in connection with the Transactions, except that nothing in this Agreement (a) will limit the Parties’ rights to seek injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in accordance with this Agreement, (b) shall prevent the Parties from bringing an action for Fraud, or (c) limit the right of any Person to pursue remedies under any Related Documents pursuant to the terms thereto. Further, nothing herein will prohibit, restrict or limit DFHT or any of its Affiliates from obtaining any remedies they may have against any insurer so long as such policy does not provide subrogation rights against any Seller.
76

(e) by either DFHT or either Seller if there shall be in effect a final non-appealable Law or injunction preventing the consummation of the Transactions; provided that neither DFHT nor the Sellers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(e) if any action of such Party or failure of such Party to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement shall have caused such Law or injunction and such action or failure to perform constitutes a breach of this Agreement; and
(f) by either Seller, the Companies or DFHT, upon written notice to the other Parties, if the DFHT Stockholder Approvals are not granted at the DFHT Stockholders Meeting (subject to any adjournment or recess of the meeting).

Section 10.02 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
79

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (a) if the Closing occurs, (i) each of the D&O Indemnified Persons shall be a third-party beneficiary of the provisions set forth in Section 6.08 (Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance) and (ii) the Sellers’ and the Companies’ Representatives shall be third-party beneficiaries of the last sentence of Section 6.08(a); and (b) each of the Financing Sources contemplated hereby shall be made third-party beneficiaries as to this Section 10.06 and the provisions of Section 10.03, Section 10.05, Section 10.08, Section 10.09, Section 10.10, Section 10.11 and Section 10.21(d).
Section 10.07 Trust Account Waiver. The Sellers and the Companies acknowledge that DFHT is a blank check company with the power and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Companies and one or more businesses or assets, and the Sellers and the Companies have read DFHT’s final prospectus related to the initial public offering dated July 16, 2020 filed with the SEC on July 20, 2020, the DFHT Organizational Documents, and the Trust Agreement and understand that DFHT has established the Trust Account described therein for the benefit of DFHT’s public stockholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. The Sellers and the Companies further acknowledge and agree that DFHT’s sole assets consist of the cash proceeds of DFHT’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public shareholders. The Sellers and the Companies further acknowledge that, if the Transactions are not consummated by August 6, 2021 or such later date as approved by the shareholders of DFHT to complete a Business Combination, DFHT will be obligated to return to its stockholders the amounts being held in the Trust Account. Accordingly, each of the Sellers and the Companies (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind against and any right to access the Trust Account to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by DFHT or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason whatsoever, including for any Willful Breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 10.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.
80

Section 10.09 No Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party or Parties against whom such waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay of any Party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

Section 10.13 CareMax Representative.
(a) Each of the members of the CareMax Group, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby irrevocably appoints O.M. Investment Group, Inc. as the CareMax Representative (the “CareMax Representative”), as each such Person’s agent, attorney-in-fact and Representative, with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of such Person, to act on behalf of such Person from and after the date hereof in connection with this Agreement, and to act on behalf of each such Person in any amendment of or litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as the CareMax Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in conjunction with any of the Transactions, including: (i) sending or receiving notices or communications under this Agreement and the Related Documents to which the CareMax Representative is a Party, (ii) making or receiving any payments required to be made or received by the CareMax Group under this Agreement, (iii) negotiating, executing and delivering all ancillary agreements, statements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, (iv) terminating, amending or waiving on behalf of such Person any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents to which the CareMax Representative is a Party; (v) signing on behalf of such Person any releases or other documents with respect to any dispute or remedy arising under this Agreement or any Related Documents to which the CareMax Representative is a Party; (vi) employing and obtaining the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors as the CareMax Representative, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary or advisable in the performance of its duties as the CareMax Representative and to rely on their advice and counsel; (vii) incurring and paying reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including fees of brokers, attorneys and accountants incurred pursuant to the Transactions; and (viii) otherwise enforcing the rights and obligations of any such Persons under this Agreement and the Related Documents to which the CareMax Representative is a Party, including giving and receiving all notices and communications hereunder or thereunder on behalf of such Person.

The CareMax Representative hereby accepts its appointment and authorization as the CareMax Representative under this Agreement.
82
(b) The CareMax Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted under this Agreement or any Related Document as the CareMax Representative while acting in good faith and without willful misconduct or gross negligence, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.

Section 10.16 Provision Regarding Legal Representation. Recognizing that DLA Piper LLP (US) (“DLA Piper” and for purposes of this Section 10.16 only “Seller’s Counsel”) has acted as legal counsel to CareMax, the CareMax Group and their Affiliates prior to date hereof, and that Seller’s Counsel intends to act as legal counsel to CareMax and its respective Affiliates after the Closing, each of DFHT, IMC and IMC Parent hereby waives (on its own behalf) and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts arising under such representation that may prevent Seller’s Counsel from representing DFHT, CareMax or any of its respective Affiliates after the Closing, including as such representation of CareMax may relate to DFHT or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between CareMax, the CareMax Group and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller’s Counsel, on the other hand, in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to CareMax and their respective Affiliates. Accordingly, DFHT shall not have access to any such communications or to the files of Seller’s Counsel relating to such engagement from and after the Closing, and no actions taken by Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives to retain, remove or otherwise protect such communications will be deemed a breach or violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (a) Seller and its respective Affiliates shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement in the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and DFHT shall not be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Seller’s Counsel in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only CareMax and its respective Affiliates shall hold such property rights and (c) Seller’s Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Seller’s Counsel and CareMax or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing contained in this Section 10.16 waives or transfers any attorney-client privilege to the extent relating to Seller’s Counsel representation of the CareMax and the CareMax Group with respect to any of their on-going or routine matters relating to their operations, business, assets or liabilities (other than in preparation for or otherwise related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and such attorney-client and other privileges shall continue to be the privilege of the CareMax and the CareMax Group. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a dispute arises between DFHT or CareMax, any CareMax Group or an Affiliate, on the one hand, and a third party other than a Party to this Agreement, on the other hand, after the Closing, any such Party may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by DLA Piper to such third party and in any such dispute, CareMax and its Affiliates shall not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the applicable Party.
84
Section 10.17 Provision Regarding Legal Representation. Recognizing that XxXxxxxxx Will & Xxxxx (“MWE” and for purposes of this Section 10.17 only, “Seller’s Counsel”) has acted as legal counsel to IMC, IMC Parent and their Affiliates prior to date hereof, and that Seller’s Counsel intends to act as legal counsel to IMC Parent and its respective Affiliates after the Closing, each of DFHT, CareMax and CareMax Group hereby waives (on its own behalf) and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts arising under such representation that may prevent Seller’s Counsel from representing DFHT, IMC, CareMax, or any other Company, or any of their respective Affiliates after the Closing, including as such representation of IMC Parent may relate to DFHT or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between IMC, IMC Parent and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Seller’s Counsel, on the other hand, in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to IMC Parent and their respective Affiliates. Accordingly, DFHT shall not have access to any such communications or to the files of Seller’s Counsel relating to such engagement from and after the Closing, and no actions taken by Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives to retain, remove or otherwise protect such communications will be deemed a breach or violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (a) Seller and its respective Affiliates shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement in the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and DFHT shall not be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Seller’s Counsel in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only IMC Parent and its respective Affiliates shall hold such property rights and (c) Seller’s Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Seller’s Counsel and IMC Parent or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing contained in this Section 10.17 waives or transfers any attorney-client privilege to the extent relating to Seller’s Counsel representation of the IMC and IMC Parent with respect to any of their on-going or routine matters relating to their operations, business, assets or liabilities (other than in preparation for or otherwise related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and such attorney-client and other privileges shall continue to be the privilege of the IMC and IMC Parent. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a dispute arises between DFHT or IMC, IMC Parent or an Affiliate, on the one hand, and a third party other than a Party to this Agreement, on the other hand, after the Closing, any such Party may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by MWE to such third party and in any such dispute, IMC Parent and its Affiliates shall not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the applicable Party.
85
Section 10.18 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each of the Parties acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting Party has no application and is expressly waived.

At the request of any Party or to any such agreement or instrument, each other Party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other Parties hereto. No Party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such Party forever waives any such defense.
Section 10.21 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Actions or liabilities (whether in contract or 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) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to (a) this Agreement, (b) the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), (c) any breach of this Agreement, or (d) any failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, may be made only against (and are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as Parties to this Agreement. Except (i) to the extent named as a Party to this Agreement, and then only to the extent of the specific liabilities of such Parties set forth in this Agreement or (ii) in the case of a breach of any agreement, document or instrument delivered in connection with this Agreement (including the Related Documents), to the extent named as a party therein, and then only to the extent of the specific obligations of the applicable parties set forth therein, no past, present or future equity holder, member, partner, manager, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, agent, representative, or advisor of, or lender to (including the Financing Sources), any Party to this Agreement or any Company Subsidiary will have any liability (whether in contract or 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) for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other liabilities of any of the Parties to this Agreement or for any Action based upon, arising out of or related to (A) this Agreement, (B) the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), (C) any breach of this Agreement, or (D) any failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, may be made only against (and are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as Parties to this Agreement. Furthermore, the Sellers (1) waive any claims or rights against the Financing Sources or in any way relating to this Agreement, the Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Commitment Letter or the performance thereof or the Financing contemplated thereby, whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, (2) hereby agree not to bring or support any suit, action or proceeding against any Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Financing, the Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, whether at law or in equity and whether in tort, contract or otherwise, and (iii) hereby agree to cause any suit, action or proceeding asserted against any Financing Source by or on behalf of the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Financing, the Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to be dismissed or otherwise terminated.

Section 4.2 Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) is hereby expressly authorized to provide out of the unissued shares of the Preferred Stock for one or more series of Preferred Stock and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, of each such series and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issuance of such series and included in a certificate of designation (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) filed pursuant to the DGCL, and the Board is hereby expressly vested with the authority to the full extent provided by law, now or hereafter, to adopt any such resolution or resolutions.
Section 4.3 Common Stock.
(a) | Voting. |
(i) Except as otherwise required by law or this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power with respect to the Corporation.
(ii) Except as otherwise required by law or this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to vote.
(iii) Except as otherwise required by law or this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, holders of the Class A Common Stock and holders of the Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by law or this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), holders of shares of any series of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (including any amendment to any Preferred Stock Designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock or other series of Common Stock if the holders of such affected series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, are entitled exclusively, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or the DGCL.
(b) Class B Common Stock.
(i) Shares of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (the “Initial Conversion Ratio”) automatically concurrently with or immediately following the closing of the Initial Business Combination (as defined below).
(ii) Notwithstanding the Initial Conversion Ratio, in the case that additional shares of Class A Common Stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Corporation’s initial public offering of securities (the “Offering”) and related to or in connection with the closing of the Initial Business Combination, all issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of the closing of the Initial Business Combination, the ratio for which the shares of Class B Common Stock shall convert into shares of Class A Common Stock will be adjusted so that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B Common Stock will equal, in the aggregate, 25% of the sum of (a) the total number of all shares of Class A Common Stock issued in the Offering (including any shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option) plus (b) the sum of (i) all shares of Class A Common Stock issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination (including any shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to a forward purchase agreement), excluding any shares of Class A Common Stock or equity-linked securities or rights issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Initial Business Combination, any private placement warrants issued to DFHTA Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), or an affiliate of the Sponsor or the Corporation’s officers and directors upon the conversion of working capital loans made to the Corporation and any warrants issued pursuant to a forward purchase agreement, minus (ii) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock redeemed in connection with the Initial Business Combination, provided that such conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock shall never be less than the Initial Conversion Ratio.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the foregoing adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio may be waived as to any particular issuance or deemed issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock or equity-linked securities by the written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding consenting or agreeing separately as a single class in the manner provided in Section 4.3(b)(iii), and (ii) in no event shall the Class B Common Stock convert into Class A Common Stock at a ratio that is less than one-for-one.
The foregoing conversion ratio shall also be adjusted to account for any subdivision (by stock split, subdivision, exchange, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse stock split, exchange, reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise) or similar reclassification or recapitalization of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares occurring after the original filing of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate without a proportionate and corresponding subdivision, combination or similar reclassification or recapitalization of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.
Each share of Class B Common Stock shall convert into its pro rata number of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section 4.3(b). The pro rata share for each holder of Class B Common Stock will be determined as follows: Each share of Class B Common Stock shall convert into such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as is equal to the product of one (1) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall be converted pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) and the denominator of which shall be the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock at the time of conversion.
(iii) Voting. Except as otherwise required by law or this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), for so long as any shares of Class B Common Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the prior vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class B Common Stock then outstanding, voting separately as a single class, amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other or special rights of the Class B Common Stock. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the holders of Class B Common Stock may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of the outstanding Class B Common Stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of Class B Common Stock were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of proceedings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt written notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent of the holders of Class B Common Stock shall, to the extent required by law, be given to those holders of Class B Common Stock who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders of Class B Common Stock to take the action were delivered to the Corporation
(c) Dividends. Subject to applicable law, the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock and the provisions of Article IX hereof, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of the Corporation) when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of any assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.
(d) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up of the Corporation. Subject to applicable law, the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock and the provisions of Article IX hereof, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them.
Section 4.4 Rights and Options. The Corporation has the authority to create and issue rights, warrants and options entitling the holders thereof to acquire from the Corporation any shares of its capital stock of any class or classes, with such rights, warrants and options to be evidenced by or in instrument(s) approved by the Board. The Board is empowered to set the exercise price, duration, times for exercise and other terms and conditions of such rights, warrants or options; provided, however, that the consideration to be received for any shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise thereof may not be less than the par value thereof. No holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to preemptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights.
ARTICLE V
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Section 5.1 Board Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon the Board by statute, this Third Amended and Restated Certificate or the By Laws of the Corporation (“Bylaws”), the Board is hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, this Third Amended and Restated Certificate and any Bylaws adopted by the stockholders; provided, however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.
Section 5.2 Number, Election and Term.
(a) The number of directors of the Corporation, other than those who may be elected by the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock voting separately by class or series, shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board.
(b) Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, the Board shall be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible and designated Class I, Class II and Class III. The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to Class I, Class II or Class III. The term of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate, the term of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate and the term of the initial Class III Directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate. At each succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, beginning with the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate, each of the successors elected to replace the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term or until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office, subject to their earlier death, resignation or removal. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, if the number of directors that constitutes the Board is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shorten the term of any incumbent director. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The Board is hereby expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions thereof, to assign members of the Board already in office to the aforesaid classes at the time this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (and therefore such classification) becomes effective in accordance with the DGCL.
(c) Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, a director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.
(d) Unless and except to the extent that the Bylaws shall so require, the election of directors need not be by written ballot.
Section 5.3 Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely and exclusively by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum or by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders), and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.
Section 5.4 Removal; Resignation. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the Corporation.
Section 5.5 Preferred Stock - Directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect one or more directors, the term of office, the filling of vacancies, the removal from office and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such series of the Preferred Stock as set forth in this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) and such directors shall not be included in any of the classes created pursuant to this Article V unless expressly provided by such terms.
Section 5.6 Quorum. A quorum for the transaction of business by the directors shall be set forth in the Bylaws.
ARTICLE VI
BYLAWS
In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by law, the Board shall have the power and is expressly authorized to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The Bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders; provided, however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws; and provided further, however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.
ARTICLE VII
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS; ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT
Section 7.1 Meetings. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, and the ability of the stockholders to call a special meeting is hereby specifically denied. Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, special meetings of stockholders may not be called by another person or persons.
Section 7.2 Advance Notice. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws.
Section 7.3 Action by Written Consent.

ARTICLE VIII
LIMITED LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION
Section 8.1 Limitation of Director Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader exculpation than permitted prior thereto), no director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any amendment, repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification with respect to any act, omission or other matter occurring prior to such amendment, repeal or modification.
Section 8.2 Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 8.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 8.2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2(a), except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.
(b) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Section 8.2 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Third Amended and Restated Certificate, the Bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
(c) Any repeal or amendment of this Section 8.2 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Section 8.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
(d) This Section 8.2 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.
ARTICLE IX
BUSINESS COMBINATION REQUIREMENTS; EXISTENCE
Section 9.1 General.
(a) The provisions of this Article IX shall apply during the period commencing upon the effectiveness of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate and terminating upon the consummation of the Corporation’s initial Business Combination and no amendment to this Article IX shall be effective prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination unless approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of all then outstanding shares of the Common Stock.
(b) Immediately after the Offering, a certain amount of the net offering proceeds received by the Corporation in the Offering (including the proceeds of any exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) and certain other amounts specified in the Corporation’s registration statement on Form S-1, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 30, 2020, as amended (the “Registration Statement”), shall be deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), established for the benefit of the Public Stockholders (as defined below) pursuant to a trust agreement described in the Registration Statement. Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account (including the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account) will be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of 100% of the Offering Shares (as defined below) if the Corporation is unable to complete its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Offering and (iii) the redemption of shares in connection with a vote seeking to amend such provisions of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate as described in Section 9.7. Holders of shares of Common Stock included as part of the units sold in the Offering (the “Offering Shares”) (whether such Offering Shares were purchased in the Offering or in the secondary market following the Offering and whether or not such holders are the Sponsor or officers or directors of the Corporation, or affiliates of any of the foregoing) are referred to herein as “Public Stockholders.”
Section 9.2 Redemption Rights.
(a) Prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, the Corporation shall provide all holders of Offering Shares with the opportunity to have their Offering Shares redeemed upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to, and subject to the limitations of, Sections 9.2(b) and 9.2(c) (such rights of such holders to have their Offering Shares redeemed pursuant to such Sections, the “Redemption Rights”) hereof for cash equal to the applicable redemption price per share determined in accordance with Section 9.2(b) hereof (the “Redemption Price”); provided, however, that the Corporation shall not redeem Offering Shares in an amount that would cause the Corporation to have net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (such limitation hereinafter called the “Redemption Limitation”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, there shall be no Redemption Rights or liquidating distributions with respect to any warrant issued pursuant to the Offering.
(b) If the Corporation offers to redeem the Offering Shares other than in conjunction with a stockholder vote on an initial Business Combination with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (or any successor rules or regulations) and filing proxy materials with the SEC, the Corporation shall offer to redeem the Offering Shares upon the consummation of the initial Business Combination, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.2(a) hereof pursuant to a tender offer in accordance with Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act (or any successor rule or regulation) (such rules and regulations hereinafter called the “Tender Offer Rules”) which it shall commence prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination and shall file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination that contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial Business Combination and the Redemption Rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act (or any successor rule or regulation) (such rules and regulations hereinafter called the “Proxy Solicitation Rules”), even if such information is not required under the Tender Offer Rules; provided, however, that if a stockholder vote is required by law to approve the proposed initial Business Combination, or the Corporation decides to submit the proposed initial Business Combination to the stockholders for their approval for business or other legal reasons, the Corporation shall offer to redeem the Offering Shares, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.2(a) hereof in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the Proxy Solicitation Rules (and not the Tender Offer Rules) at a price per share equal to the Redemption Price calculated in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 9.2(b). In the event that the Corporation offers to redeem the Offering Shares pursuant to a tender offer in accordance with the Tender Offer Rules, the Redemption Price per share of the Common Stock payable to holders of the Offering Shares tendering their Offering Shares pursuant to such tender offer shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its taxes, by (ii) the total number of then outstanding Offering Shares. If the Corporation offers to redeem the Offering Shares in conjunction with a stockholder vote on the proposed initial Business Combination pursuant to a proxy solicitation, the Redemption Price per share of the Common Stock payable to holders of the Offering Shares exercising their Redemption Rights (irrespective of whether they voted in favor or against the Business Combination) shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (x) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its taxes, by (y) the total number of then outstanding Offering Shares.
(c) If the Corporation offers to redeem the Offering Shares in conjunction with a stockholder vote on an initial Business Combination pursuant to a proxy solicitation, a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), shall be restricted from seeking Redemption Rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Offering Shares without the prior consent of the Corporation.
(d) In the event that the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Offering, the Corporation shall (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Offering Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its working capital requirements (subject to an annual limit of $500,000) (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the Public Stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Corporation’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.
(e) If the Corporation offers to redeem the Offering Shares in conjunction with a stockholder vote on an initial Business Combination, the Corporation shall consummate the proposed initial Business Combination only if (i) such initial Business Combination is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Common Stock that are voted at a stockholder meeting held to consider such initial Business Combination and (ii) the Redemption Limitation is not exceeded.
(f) If the Corporation conducts a tender offer pursuant to Section 9.2(b), the Corporation shall consummate the proposed initial Business Combination only if the Redemption Limitation is not exceeded.
Section 9.3 Distributions from the Trust Account.
(a) A Public Stockholder shall be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only as provided in Sections 9.2(a), 9.2(b), 9.2(d) or 9.7 hereof. In no other circumstances shall a Public Stockholder have any right or interest of any kind in or to distributions from the Trust Account, and no stockholder other than a Public Stockholder shall have any interest in or to the Trust Account.
(b) Each Public Stockholder that does not exercise its Redemption Rights shall retain its interest in the Corporation and shall be deemed to have given its consent to the release of the remaining funds in the Trust Account to the Corporation, and following payment to any Public Stockholders exercising their Redemption Rights, the remaining funds in the Trust Account shall be released to the Corporation.
(c) The exercise by a Public Stockholder of the Redemption Rights shall be conditioned on such Public Stockholder following the specific procedures for redemptions set forth by the Corporation in any applicable tender offer or proxy materials sent to the Public Stockholders relating to the proposed initial Business Combination. Payment of the amounts necessary to satisfy the Redemption Rights properly exercised shall be made as promptly as practical after the consummation of the initial Business Combination.
Section 9.4 Share Issuances. Prior to the consummation of the Corporation’s initial Business Combination, the Corporation shall not issue any additional shares of capital stock of the Corporation that would entitle the holders thereof to receive funds from the Trust Account or vote as a class with the Class A Common Stock on any initial Business Combination, on any pre-Business Combination activity or on any amendment to this Article IX.
Section 9.5 Transactions with Affiliates. In the event the Corporation enters into an initial Business Combination with a target business that is affiliated with the Sponsor, or the directors or officers of the Corporation, the Corporation, or a committee of the independent directors of the Corporation, shall obtain an opinion from an independent accounting firm or an independent investment banking firm that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority that such Business Combination is fair to the Corporation from a financial point of view.
Section 9.6 No Transactions with Other Blank Check Companies. The Corporation shall not enter into an initial Business Combination with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.
Section 9.7 Additional Redemption Rights. If, in accordance with Section 9.1(a), any amendment is made to this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (a) to modify the substance or timing of the Corporation’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the date of the closing of the Offering or (b) with respect to any other material provisions of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, the Public Stockholders shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares upon the approval of any such amendment, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Offering Shares; provided, however, that any such amendment will be voided, and this Article IX will remain unchanged, if any stockholders who wish to redeem are unable to redeem due to the Redemption Limitation.

EXCLUSIVE FORUM FOR CERTAIN LAWSUITS
Section 12.1 Forum. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Third Amended and Restated Certificate or the Bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim (A) as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (D) any action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as to which the Court of Chancery and the federal district court for the District of Delaware shall have concurrent jurisdiction.

Section 12.3 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS
Section 2.1. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5(a). At each annual meeting, the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters shall elect those directors of the Corporation to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of such annual meeting and may transact any other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.
Section 2.2. Special Meetings. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of the preferred stock of the Corporation (“Preferred Stock”), and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by the Executive Chairman or Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, and may not be called by any other person. Special meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and at such time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the Corporation’s notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5(a).
Section 2.3. Notices. Written notice of each stockholders meeting stating the place, if any, date, and time of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, shall be given in the manner permitted by Section 9.3 to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, by the Corporation not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting unless otherwise required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). If said notice is for a stockholders meeting other than an annual meeting, it shall in addition state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and the business transacted at such meeting shall be limited to the matters so stated in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). Any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be postponed, and any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be cancelled, by the Board upon public announcement (as defined in Section 2.7(c)) given before the date previously scheduled for such meeting.
Section 2.4. Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Bylaws”), the presence, in person or by proxy, at a stockholders meeting of the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. If a quorum shall not be present or represented by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the Executive Chairman, or in his or her absence or inability to act, such person as the Executive Chairman may appoint, or in the absence thereof or failure of the Executive Chairman to make such appointment, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.6 until a quorum shall attend. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any such other corporation to vote shares held by it in a fiduciary capacity.
Section 2.5. Voting of Shares.
(a) Voting Lists. The Secretary of the Corporation (the “Secretary”) shall prepare, or shall cause the officer or agent who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation to prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting; provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address and the number and class of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(a) shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If a meeting of stockholders is to be held solely by means of remote communication as permitted by Section 9.5(a), the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list required by this Section 2.5(a) or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
(b) Manner of Voting. At any stockholders meeting, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy. If authorized by the Board, the voting by stockholders or proxy holders at any meeting conducted by remote communication may be effected by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission (as defined in Section 9.3), provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which the Corporation can determine that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxy holder. The Board, in its discretion, or the chairman of the meeting of stockholders, in such person’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.
(c) Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Proxies need not be filed with the Secretary until the meeting is called to order, but shall be filed with the Secretary before being voted. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, either of the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority. No stockholder shall have cumulative voting rights.
(i) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.
(ii) A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission authorizing another person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.
(d) Required Vote. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, at all meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. All other matters presented to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be determined by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter.
(e) Inspectors of Election. The Board may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more persons as inspectors of election, who may be employees of the Corporation or otherwise serve the Corporation in other capacities, to act at such meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Board may appoint one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspectors of election or alternates are appointed by the Board, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall ascertain and report the number of outstanding shares and the voting power of each; determine the number of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; count all votes and ballots and report the results; determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election. Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by the inspector or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors.
Section 2.6. Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned by the chairman of the meeting, from time to time, whether or not there is a quorum, to reconvene at the same or some other place. Notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the date, time, and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the stockholders, or the holders of any class or series of stock entitled to vote separately as a class, as the case may be, may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 9.2, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
Section 2.7. Advance Notice for Business.
(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is either (i) specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation (x) who is a stockholder of record entitled to vote at such annual meeting on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.7(a) and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and (y) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(a). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7(a) to the contrary, only persons nominated for election as a director to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of the annual meeting pursuant to Section 3.2 will be considered for election at such meeting.
(i) In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business (other than nominations) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. Subject to Section 2.7(a)(iii), a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary with respect to such business, to be timely, must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date (or if there has been no prior annual meeting), notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business on the 90th day before the meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by the Corporation. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting shall not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this Section 2.7(a).
(ii) To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary with respect to any business (other than nominations) must set forth as to each such matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment) and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (B) the name and record address of such stockholder and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (C) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (D) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder, (E) any material interest of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made in such business and (F) a representation that such stockholder (or a qualified representative of such stockholder) intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting.
(iii) The foregoing notice requirements of this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder as to any proposal (other than nominations) if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of such stockholder’s intention to present such proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and such stockholder has complied with the requirements of such Rule for inclusion of such proposal in a proxy statement prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(a), provided, however, that once business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. If the Board or the chairman of the annual meeting determines that any stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7(a) or that the information provided in a stockholder’s notice does not satisfy the information requirements of this Section 2.7(a), such proposal shall not be presented for action at the annual meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7(a), if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present the proposed business, such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such matter may have been received by the Corporation.
(iv) In addition to the provisions of this Section 2.7(a), a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein. Nothing in this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting only pursuant to Section 3.2.
(c) Public Announcement. For purposes of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Xxxxx News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed or furnished by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (or any successor thereto).

Except to the extent inconsistent with these Bylaws or such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and to adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (c) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (d) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (e) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.

Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

Directors need not be stockholders or residents of the State of Delaware. Subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, the number of directors shall be fixed exclusively by resolution of the Board.
Section 3.2. Advance Notice for Nomination of Directors.
(a) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the Corporation, except as may be otherwise provided by the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock with respect to the rights of holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board at any annual meeting of stockholders, or at any special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors as set forth in the Corporation’s notice of such special meeting, may be made (i) by or at the direction of the Board or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation (x) who is a stockholder of record entitled to vote in the election of directors on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 3.2 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and (y) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 3.2.
