Each share of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any such shares of Company Preferred Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and any Dissenting Shares) shall be canceled and treated as if converted into Company Common Stock based on the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designations of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock) thereof determined as of the date on which the Effective Time falls, or for such other reasonable consideration, valuation, and/or conversion ratio as shall be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (provided that no such terms shall alter the number of shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Closing Merger Consideration Shares). The shares of Company Common Stock that would have been due to the holder as a result of the conversion of such shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock shall be treated as issued to the holder thereof and converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive: (A) the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration; plus (B) the Additional Per Share Merger Consideration, if any, at the time and subject to the contingencies set forth in Section 3.7.

(d) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

3.2 Treatment of Company Warrants. Each Company Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the holder of which has not elected to receive a cash payment for such Company Warrant in accordance with Section 7.5(a), shall be canceled and be treated as if exercised for that number of shares of Company Common Stock calculated using the Black Scholes formula calculation and an Exercise Price (as defined in such Company Warrant) equal to 80% of the average volume weighted average price of the Company Common Stock during the five trading day period immediately prior to the Closing Date, or for such other reasonable consideration, valuation, and/or exercise price as shall be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (provided that no such terms shall alter the number of shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Closing Merger Consideration Shares). The shares of Company Common Stock that would have been due to the holder as a result of such exercise of the Company Warrant shall be treated as issued to the holder thereof and converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive: (i) the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration; plus (ii) the Additional Per Share Merger Consideration, if any, at the time and subject to the contingencies set forth in Section 3.7.

3.3 Treatment of Convertible Note. Contingent on and effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Convertible Note shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5(d).

3.4 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 4.1, shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Capital Stock cancelled in accordance with Section 3.1(a)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights of such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 92A.380 of the NRS (such shares of Company Capital Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the NRS with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration Shares, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 92A.380 of the NRS; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 92A.380 of the NRS, such Dissenting Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the applicable subsections of Section 4.1, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Company Stock Certificate or Company Stock Certificates representing such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 4.4. The Company shall promptly provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Capital Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the NRS that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.

3.5 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Exchange Fund. On the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with an exchange agent to be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto (the “Exchange Agent”) for the benefit of the Company Stockholders, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Closing Merger Consideration Shares (such shares of Parent Common Stock, the “Exchange Fund”). Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, to pay the applicable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration Shares out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet and the other applicable provisions contained in this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose other than as contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, and in any event within two Business Days following the Effective Time (but in no event prior to the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver to each Company Stockholder, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in exchanging such Company Stockholder’s shares of Company Capital Stock for such Company Stockholder’s applicable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration Shares from the Exchange Fund, and that shall be in form and contain provisions which Parent may specify and which are reasonably acceptable to the Company (a “Letter of Transmittal”), and promptly following receipt of a Company Stockholder’s properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, deliver such Company Stockholder’s applicable portion of the Closing Merger Consideration Shares to such Company Stockholder. For the purpose of clarification, the portion of the Closing Merger Consideration Shares payable to each Company Stockholder following such Person’s delivery of a properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal shall consist of such Company Stockholder’s applicable portion of (i) the Exchange Fund plus (ii) the contingent right to receive such Company Stockholder’s applicable portion of any Contingent Merger Consideration Shares released to the Company Stockholders, all as set forth in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet.

(c) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Company Stockholders for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent by the Exchange Agent, upon demand, and any Company Stockholders who have not theretofore complied with this Section 3.5 shall thereafter look only to Parent for their portion of such Closing Merger Consideration Shares. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by Company Stockholders as of a date that is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

3.6 Consideration Spreadsheet.

(a) At least five Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent a spreadsheet (the “Consideration Spreadsheet”), prepared by the Company in good faith and setting forth the following, in each case as of immediately prior to the Effective Time based, when relevant, on assumptions reasonably acceptable to Parent and that are described in detail in the Consideration Spreadsheet:

(i) the name and address of record of each Company Stockholder and the number and class, type, or series of shares of Company Capital Stock held by each;

(ii) the names of record of each holder of Company Warrants and the exercise price, number of shares of Company Preferred Stock or Company Common Stock subject to each such Company Warrant held by it and any vesting schedules or expiration dates;

(iii) the number of Fully Diluted Company Shares;

(iv) detailed calculations of each of the following (in each case, determined without regard to withholding):

(A) the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration payable to each named Company Stockholder; and

(B) the Closing Exchange Ratio with respect to (I) each Company Stockholder that hold Series E Convertible Preferred Stock and (II) Company Stockholders other than Company Stockholders that hold Series E Convertible Preferred Stock; and

(v) any explanatory or supporting information, including calculations, as Parent may reasonably request.

(b) The Consideration Spreadsheet delivered hereunder shall be true complete and correct and shall contain the same information described in this Section 3.6, subject to Parent’s rights pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(v).

(c) The contents of the Consideration Spreadsheet delivered by the Company hereunder shall be subject to reasonable review and comment by Xxxxxx, and shall comport with the provisions of this Agreement, but the Company shall, in all events, remain solely responsible for the contents of the Consideration Spreadsheet. Under no circumstances shall Parent or Merger Sub be responsible for the calculations or the determinations regarding such calculations in the Consideration Spreadsheet and the parties agree that Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to rely on the Consideration Spreadsheet in making payments under Article IV.

(d) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall update the Consideration Spreadsheet, and deliver such updated Consideration Spreadsheet to Parent, as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of any event that would change the information set forth in the latest version of the Consideration Spreadsheet that it previously delivered to Parent.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 3.6 or in the Consideration Spreadsheet shall be construed or deemed to: (i) modify the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(xviii) to obtain Parent’s prior consent to the issuance of any securities; or (ii) alter or amend the definitions of the Closing Merger Consideration Shares or the Merger Consideration Shares.

3.7 Contingent Consideration.

(a) For purposes of this Section 3.7, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) “Calculation Period” means each of the fiscal years of the Surviving Corporation ending on March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025.

(ii) “Contingent Merger Consideration Shares” means up to 10,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock.

(iii) “First Year Revenue Threshold” means at least $15,000,000 in revenue of the Surviving Corporation as per the audited financial statements of the Surviving Corporation as of and for the Calculation Period ended March 31, 2024.

(vi) “Second Year Revenue Threshold” means at least $30,000,000 in revenue of the Surviving Corporation as per the audited financial statements of the Surviving Corporation as of and for the Calculation Period ended March 31, 2025.

(b) In the event that the First Year Revenue Threshold has been achieved for the Calculation Period ended March 31, 2024, the Contingent Merger Consideration Recipients shall be entitled to receive, and Parent shall issue, 50% of the Contingent Merger Consideration Shares to the Contingent Merger Consideration Recipients on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Stockholder’s pro rata share (i.e., based on the number of Closing Merger Consideration Shares issued to each such Contingent Merger Consideration Recipient compared to the total number of Closing Merger Consideration Shares).

(c) In the event that the Second Year Revenue Threshold has been achieved for the Calculation Period ended March 31, 2025, the Contingent Merger Consideration Recipients shall be entitled to receive, and Parent shall issue, 50% of the Contingent Merger Consideration Shares to the Contingent Merger Consideration Recipients on a pro rata basis in accordance with each Contingent Merger Consideration Recipient’s pro rata share.

(e) During the Calculation Period, Parent shall take commercially reasonable efforts for Parent to remain listed as a public company on, and for the Parent Common Stock to be listed on and tradable over, Nasdaq; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit Parent from consummating a Change in Control or entering into a Contract that contemplates a Change in Control of Parent. Upon the consummation of any Change in Control of Parent during the Calculation Period, other than as set forth in Section 3.7(d), Parent shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 3.7(e).

(f) Except with respect to any amounts treated as imputed interest under Section 483 of the Code, any issuance of Contingent Merger Consideration Shares pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall be treated as an adjustment to the merger consideration by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by a change in applicable Tax Law. Any Contingent Merger Consideration Shares that are issued pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall be treated as eligible for non-recognition treatment under Section 354 of the Code (and shall not be treated as “other property” within the meaning of Section 356 of the Code).

3.8 Adjustment. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Merger Consideration Shares and the Closing Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock occurring prior to the date that the applicable Merger Consideration Shares are issued.

3.9 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, or certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, will be issued in connection with the conversion of the Company Capital Stock pursuant to the Merger, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of Parent.

3.10 Withholding. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authorities, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall provide notice of any withholding that either intends to make (or cause to be made) in connection with consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement (other than any withholding required in connection with amounts properly treated as compensation for applicable Tax purposes) at least five days prior to the date of the relevant payment and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any such withholding, including providing recipients of consideration a reasonable opportunity to provide documentation establishing exemptions from or reductions of such withholdings.

3.11 Lost or Destroyed Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon the making of a customary affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent, the Exchange Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate, the portion of the Merger Consideration Shares to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Company Stock Certificate as contemplated under this Article III.

Merger Sub does not hold and has not held any material assets or incurred any material liabilities, and has not carried on any business activities other than in connection with the Merger.

5.2 Corporate Authorization. Each of the Parent Parties has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Additional Agreements to which it is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, in the case of the Merger, subject to receipt of the Parent Stockholder Approval. The execution and delivery by each of the Parent Parties of this Agreement and the Additional Agreements to which it is a party and the consummation by each of the Parent Parties of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Parent Party.

6.5 Cooperation with Form S-4/Proxy Statement; Other Filings.

(a) The Company shall promptly provide to Parent such information concerning the Company Group and the Company Securityholders as is either required by the federal securities Laws or reasonably requested by Parent for inclusion in the Offer Documents.

Parent shall promptly respond to any SEC comments on the Form S-4. The Proxy Statement, the Form S-4 and the documents included or referred to therein, together with any supplements, amendments or exhibits thereto, are referred to herein as the “Offer Documents”.

(b) Parent: (i) shall permit the Company and its counsel to review and comment on the Proxy Statement and the Form S-4 and any exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto (or other related documents) at a reasonable time prior to the filing except to the extent not legally permissible; (ii) shall consider any such comments reasonably and in good faith; and (iii) shall not file the Proxy Statement and the Form S-4 or any exhibit, amendment or supplement thereto without giving reasonable and good faith consideration to the comments of the Company. As promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, Parent shall provide to the Company and its counsel notice and a copy of all correspondence (or, to the extent such correspondence is oral, a summary thereof), including any comments from the SEC or its staff, between Parent or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff or other government officials, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement and the Form S-4 and, in each case, shall consult reasonably and in good faith with the Company and its counsel concerning any such correspondence.

Without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Form S-4, at the time it is initially filed with the SEC, at each time at which it is amended, and on the S-4 Effective Date, and the Proxy Statement, on the date it is first distributed to Parent Stockholders and on the date of the Parent Stockholder Meeting, (i) complies in all material respects with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and (ii) does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided, that Parent shall not be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information relating to the Company (or any other information) that is furnished by the Company expressly for inclusion in the Proxy Statement). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the information relating to the Company that has been supplied by the Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4, as applicable, (i) complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder and (ii) does not, with respect to the Form S-4, at the time it is initially filed with the SEC, at each time at which it is amended, or on the S-4 Effective Date and, with respect to the Proxy Statement, on the date that the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) is first distributed to Parent Stockholders or on the date of the Parent Stockholder Meeting, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the Effective Time, a change in the information relating to the Company or any other information furnished by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement that would make the preceding sentence incorrect should be discovered by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, such party shall promptly notify the other parties of such change or discovery 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 Parent’s and the Company’s stockholders.

As soon as practicable after the S-4 Effective Date, Parent shall cause the Proxy Statement, together will all other Offer Documents, to be disseminated to holders of Parent Common Stock. The Offer Documents shall provide the public stockholders of Parent with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares of Parent Common Stock, all in accordance with and as required by Parent’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Trust Agreement, applicable Law and any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Parent shall call and hold the Parent Stockholder Meeting as promptly as practicable after the S-4 Effective Date for the purpose of seeking the approval of each of the Parent Proposals, and Parent shall consult in good faith with the Company with respect to the date on which such meeting is to be held.

11.8 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon delivery to each party of an executed counterpart or the earlier delivery to each party of original, photocopied, or electronically transmitted signature pages that together (but need not individually) bear the signatures of all other parties.

No provision of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement may be explained or qualified by any agreement, negotiations, understanding, discussion, conduct or course of conduct or by any trade usage. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein or in any Additional Agreement, there is no condition precedent to the effectiveness of any provision hereof or thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality Agreement is not superseded by this Agreement or merged herein and shall continue in accordance with its terms, including in the event of any termination of this Agreement.

11.10 Severability. A determination by a court or other legal authority that any provision of this Agreement is legally invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other term or provision hereof. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to modify (or cause such court or other legal authority to modify) this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

The Company acknowledges that it has read the Prospectus and understands that Parent has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO for the benefit of the public shareholders of Parent and the underwriters of the IPO pursuant to the Trust Agreement and that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, Parent may disburse monies from the Trust Account only for the purposes set forth in the Trust Agreement. For and in consideration of Parent agreeing to enter into this Agreement, the Company, for itself and on behalf of the Company Securityholders, hereby agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter prior to the Closing have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Parent and hereby agrees that it will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason.

11.16 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines or does not otherwise have jurisdiction, a state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware) (or any appellate courts thereof), for the purposes of any Action (a) arising under this Agreement or under any Additional Agreement or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties in respect of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such Action in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action (i) arising under this Agreement or under any Additional Agreement, or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties in respect of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (A) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 11.16 for any reason, (B) that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any Action commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (1) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (2) the venue of such Action is improper or (3) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

11.17 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including in Section 10.4), any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

11.18 Non-Recourse. Subject to Section 10.4, this Agreement may be enforced only against, and any dispute, claim or controversy based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought only against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth in this Agreement with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, agent, attorney, advisor, lender or Representative or Affiliate of any named party to this Agreement (which Persons are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 11.18) shall have any liability (whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity or otherwise, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of such named party or for any dispute, claim or controversy based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.19 Privileged Communications. Xxxx & Loeb LLP and Parent’s in-house legal department (collectively, “Parent Counsel”) have acted as counsel for Parent and the Sponsor for various matters prior to the Closing, including in connection with this Agreement and the Additional Agreements, the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement and the Additional Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Additional Agreements (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Engagements”). Each of the Company and the Company Securityholders agree, on behalf of itself and/or themselves, as the case may be, and, after the Closing, on behalf of the Surviving Corporation, that (a) all communications in any form or format whatsoever between or among Parent Counsel, on the one hand, and the Sponsor, Parent, or any of their respective Representatives, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the Pre-Closing Engagements (collectively, the “Parent Privileged Communications”) will be deemed to be attorney-client privileged, (b) immediately prior to the Closing, without the need for any further action on the part of any Person, all right, title, and interest of Parent in and to any and all Parent Privileged Communications shall transfer to and be vested solely in the Sponsor, (c) from and after the Closing, the Parent Privileged Communications and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Sponsor and shall not pass to or be claimed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, and (d) Parent Counsel shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such Parent Privileged Communications, or any of its files relating to the Pre-Closing Engagements, to the Company, the Company Securityholders, the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective Representatives by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Parent Counsel and Parent and/or the Sponsor or otherwise. Company and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) and/or the Company Securityholders will not have access to any such Parent Privileged Communications, or to the files of Parent Counsel relating to the Pre-Closing Engagements. Notwithstanding anything set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.19 to the contrary, if after the Closing a dispute arises between Company or any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation and the Company Securityholders, on the one hand, and a third party, other than the Sponsor or any of its respective Affiliates, on the other hand, the Surviving Corporation may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of Parent Privileged Communications to such third party; provided that none of the Company, the Company Securityholders, Parent nor the Surviving Corporation may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Sponsor.

C-1-2

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent will (i) place an irrevocable stop order on all Lock-up Shares, including those that may be covered by a registration statement, and (ii) notify Parent’s transfer agent in writing of the stop order and the restrictions on such Lock-up Shares under this Agreement and direct Parent’s transfer agent not to process any attempts by the Holder to resell or transfer any Lock-up Shares, except in compliance with this Agreement.
