(a) Subject to Section 5.14(d), prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall consummate the following transactions, to be effective no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, in the following order (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Reorganization”): (i) Newco will form a Delaware limited liability company as a direct, wholly-owned Subsidiary of Newco (“Newco Merger Sub”), (ii) Newco Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Newco Merger Sub shall cease and the Company will continue as the surviving entity after such merger and as a direct, wholly owned Subsidiary of Newco, (iii) at the effective time of the merger described in clause (ii) above, the Company will assign, and Newco will assume, the Equity Plan, and all Equity Interests of the Company will be converted into equivalent Equity Interests of Newco, including without limitation (A) the Unitholders will collectively own (or have the right to receive, as applicable) one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding membership interest of Newco in the same proportions and on the same terms and conditions as their prior ownership interest in the Company immediately prior to such merger, (B) the Optionholders will collectively own (or have the right to receive, as applicable) one hundred percent (100%) of the options of Newco in the same proportions and on the same terms and conditions as their prior ownership of the Company Options as of immediately prior to such merger, (C) the holders of the Bridge Notes will collectively own (or have the right to receive, as applicable) one hundred percent (100%) of the convertible promissory notes of Newco in the same proportions and on the same terms and conditions as their prior ownership of the Bridge Notes as of immediately prior to such merger, (iv) Newco will own one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company (and Newco shall assume or implement any related arrangements expressly required to effectuate the foregoing, including the assumption of the Equity Plan and any outstanding awards thereunder), and (v) an election pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(c) will be made to treat the Company as an entity that is treated as disregarded from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Pre-Closing Reorganization described in clauses (i) through (v) above is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and that Newco will be treated as a C corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes from the date of its formation and, to the extent necessary to confirm such treatment, will make an election pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3(c) to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes effective as of the date of its formation and the Company shall file all required income Tax returns and related returns and reports in a manner consistent with such intent unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(b) The Parties must agree, prior to such consummation, on the form and substance of all resolutions, consents, filings and other documents to effectuate the Pre-Closing Reorganization, and any changes to the Pre-Closing Reorganization or such resolutions, consents, filings and other documents shall not be permitted without Parent’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) In furtherance of Section 5.14(a), the Company and/or Newco shall adopt resolutions and will take such other actions as may be necessary, including obtaining individual consents to the extent necessary or desirable, to cause the transactions contemplated by Section 5.14(a), including the assumption and assignment of the Equity Plan and for Company Options to be treated in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.14(a). The Company and/or Newco, as applicable, shall deliver evidence satisfactory to the Parties of the consent of the Company Optionholders, if necessary, to the treatment set forth in Section 5.14(a).

(d) From and after consummation of the Pre-Closing Reorganization, each reference herein to the “Company” (including in connection with the First Merger) shall be deemed to be a reference to Newco, as the context permits.

Section 5.15 Newco Unitholder Approval. After consummation of the Pre-Closing Reorganization and prior to the Closing Date, Newco shall obtain and deliver to Parent the Newco Unitholder Approval.

ARTICLE VI

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent;

(b) by either the Company or Parent by written notice to the other if any applicable Law is in effect making the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or any final, non-appealable Order is in effect permanently preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.01(b) shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of this Agreement results in or causes such final, non-appealable Order or other action;

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.01 Indemnification by Unitholders.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Article VII, from and after the Closing, each Unitholder, severally and not jointly, agrees to and shall indemnify Parent, the Sponsor, the Eos Companies and each of their respective subsidiaries, direct and indirect parent companies, shareholders, partners, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, consultants, advisors, representatives and other Persons acting on their behalf (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) and save and hold each of them harmless against such Unitholder’s Indemnity Pro Rata Share of any Losses suffered, incurred or paid, directly or indirectly, by them as a result of, arising out of or related to the matters described in Schedule 7.01(a) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Indemnified Matters”). The indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 7.01 shall survive until ninety (90) days following the expiration of the statute of limitations (giving effect to any extensions and waivers thereof) applicable to the Indemnified Matters.

(b) Following the Closing, the Securityholder Representative shall have the obligation and duty to vigorously prosecute or defend the Indemnified Matters and shall have, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, the discretion to control the defense, compromise or other resolution of the Indemnified Matters, including responding to inquiries, contesting, defending against and resolving any matter relating to the Indemnified Matters. Parent shall, or shall cause the Ultimate Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries to, advance to the Securityholder Representative up to $5,000,000 of Seller Defense Costs promptly following delivery of any invoices therefor; provided, however, that if the aggregate amount of Seller Defense Costs exceeds $2,000,000 (the “Deductible”), then the amount of such excess shall constitute indemnifiable Losses hereunder; provided, further that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Deductible shall not apply to any Losses other than Seller Defense Costs. Parent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in (but not control) the defense of the Indemnified Matters and to attend any proceedings before any Governmental Entity or other material events with respect to the Indemnified Matters, in each case at Parent’s sole cost and expense. If the Securityholder Representative shall fail or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend the Indemnified Matters as reasonably determined by the board of directors of Parent, Parent may control the Indemnified Matters by giving notice to the Securityholders Representative in which case Parent’s fees and expenses shall constitute indemnifiable Losses. The Securityholder Representative shall have the right to agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of the Indemnified Matters, and, in such event, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Eos Companies) to, enter into such settlement agreements, releases and other documentation necessary to effectuate the settlement, compromise or discharge as may be reasonably requested by the Securityholder Representative to implement the foregoing; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent’s prior written consent (which, in the case of clause (iv) below, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) shall be required to the extent that any such settlement, compromise or discharge (i) requires any admission of wrongdoing by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Eos Companies), (ii) involves a finding of any violations of Law by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Eos Companies), (iii) imposes any injunctive relief or obligations on Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Eos Companies), or (iv) requires Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Eos Companies) to pay any amount in cash (other than Seller Defense Costs). From and after the Closing until such time as the Indemnified Matters are finally resolved, Securityholder Representative and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with (x) the retention and (upon reasonable request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably necessary for such proceedings and are in the Parent’s or the Eos Companies’, on the one hand, or the Securityholder Representative’s, on the other hand, possession and (y) making employees and other representatives and advisors of the Eos Companies available, during regular business hours upon reasonable advance notice (to the extent practicable) and under reasonable circumstances, to provide additional information and explaining any material provided hereunder, to give testimony or attend at any Proceeding, in each case as and to the extent reasonably requested. Without limiting the generality of Section 8.15, the Securityholder Representative shall have the right to continue to conduct the defense, compromise or other resolution of the Indemnified Matters with counsel of its choice, including counsel currently representing the Eos Companies in the Indemnified Matters, and Parent (on behalf of itself, and, following the Closing, the Eos Companies) hereby waives any conflict and agrees not to object to any such continued representation.

Section 7.02 Losses Net of Insurance, etc.. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 7.01 shall be net of any insurance proceeds (net of any costs of investigation of the underlying claim and of collection) received as an offset against such Loss (each source of recovery, a “Collateral Source”). If the amount to be netted hereunder in connection with a Collateral Source from any payment required under Section 7.01 is received after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Purchaser Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VII, the Purchaser Indemnitee shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such receipt, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article VII had such receipt occurred at the time of such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount received from any Collateral Source with respect to Seller Defense Costs shall count as Seller Defense Costs for purposes of determining whether the Deductible has been achieved (it being the intent of the parties that any Collateral Source shall be for the benefit of the Purchaser Indemnitees in determining whether the Deductible has been met).

Section 7.03 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Promptly after any event, circumstance, development, state of facts or occurrence (or obtaining knowledge thereof) that results or may result in the incurrence of any Losses by any Purchaser Indemnitees, which might give rise to indemnification hereunder, the Purchaser Indemnitee shall deliver to the Securityholder Representative a certificate (a “Claim Certificate”), which Claim Certificate shall: (i) state that the Purchaser Indemnitee has paid or anticipates it will incur liability for Losses for which such Purchaser Indemnitee believes it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid (if paid), the basis for any anticipated Liability and the nature of the claim to which each such item is related and the computation, if possible, of the amount to which such Purchaser Indemnitee claims to be entitled hereunder; provided, that the failure to so notify the Securityholder Representative shall not relieve the Unitholders of their obligations hereunder, unless the Unitholders are actually and adversely prejudiced thereby and in such case, only to the extent of such prejudice.

(b) In the event that the Securityholder Representative shall object to the indemnification of a Purchaser Indemnitee in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Claim Certificate, the Securityholder Representative shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Securityholder Representative of such Claim Certificate, deliver to the Purchaser Indemnitee a notice to such effect, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, and the Securityholder Representative and the Purchaser Indemnitee shall, within the sixty (60) day period beginning on the date of receipt by the Purchaser Indemnitee of such objection and prior to submitting such dispute to the courts set forth in Section 8.08, attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims to which the Securityholder Representative shall have so objected. If the Purchaser Indemnitee and the Securityholder Representative shall succeed in reaching agreement on their respective rights with respect to any of such claims, the Purchaser Indemnitee and the Securityholder Representative shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum of agreement setting forth such agreement. Should the Purchaser Indemnitee and the Securityholder Representative be unable to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts within such time period, then the Purchaser Indemnitee shall be permitted to submit such dispute to the courts set forth in Section 8.08. The party that receives a final judgment in such dispute shall reimburse the other party for all reasonable attorney and consultant fees or expenses incurred by the other party.

(c) Claims for Losses covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in Section 7.03(b), and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of judicial determination as described in Section 7.03(b) and 8.08 hereof, are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims”. Within ten (10) Business Days following the determination of the amount of any Agreed Claim (or at such other time as the Purchaser Indemnitee and the Securityholder Representative shall agree), Agent (as defined below) on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 7.04; provided, that if Agent has released and surrendered the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 7.04(k), the party from which indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall pay to the Purchaser Indemnitee an amount equal to the Agreed Claim by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the Purchaser Indemnitee in a notice to the Securityholder Representative.

(d) Under all circumstances the Unitholders shall act solely through the Securityholder Representative and the Securityholder Representative’s determination with respect to all matters under this Article VII shall be final and binding on each Unitholder.

Section 7.04 Share Pledge. Parent, the Securityholder Representative and each Securityholder hereby agrees as follows:

(a) As security for the Unitholders’ indemnification obligations under this Article VII (collectively, the “Obligations”), each Unitholder (“Pledgor”) hereby agrees to assign, pledge and grant to Parent (“Agent”), for the benefit of the Purchaser Indemnitees, a continuing first priority security interest in and lien upon all right, title and interest of such Pledgor in and to a number of Parent Shares equal to 40% of the portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to each such Pledgor pursuant to Sections 2.02(a) and (d) wherever located (the “Pledged Shares”), the certificates representing the Pledged Shares, all rights to receive income, gain, profit, loss or other items allocated or distributed with respect to the Pledged Shares, all rights to receive all income, profit or other dividends, distributions, cash, warrants, rights, options, instruments, securities and other property of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Pledged Shares, all voting rights or rights to control or direct the affairs of the issuer of the Pledged Shares arising as a result of the Pledged Shares, all other rights, title and interest as such rights are derived from the Pledged Shares and all proceeds and profits of thereof (including proceeds of proceeds and claims against third parties), whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired (together with the Pledged Shares, collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”).

(b) Each Pledgor covenants and agrees with Agent that: (1) Agent’s sole duty with respect to the Pledged Collateral is to use such care as it uses for similar property for its own account, and Agent shall not be obligated to preserve rights in the Pledged Collateral against prior parties; (2) such Pledgor will (i) be solely responsible for all matters relating to the Pledged Collateral, (ii) not, and will not purport to, grant or suffer Liens, other than Permitted Liens, against, or sell, transfer or dispose of any Pledged Collateral, (iii) from time to time take all actions requested by Agent to maintain control of the Pledged Shares for purposes of the New York Uniform Commercial Code as then in effect (the “UCC”) and make all filings under the UCC reasonably requested by Agent in connection with Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral; (3) Agent is authorized to file financing statements and/or a copy of this Agreement and give notice to third parties regarding the Pledged Collateral without Pledgor’s signature to the extent permitted by applicable Law; and (4) Agent may rely upon any written communication (including email communication) in good faith believed by Agent to have been authorized by Pledgor.

(c) Agent shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or other applicable Law, and, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, may, in addition to any other right or remedy available to Agent hereunder or under applicable Law, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.04(f) below, sell, liquidate or redeem so much of the Pledged Collateral as is necessary to satisfy the Obligations.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any Pledgor, (A) such Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral, (B) such Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends or other distributions declared on such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that (x) dividends and other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral, (y) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and (z) any cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral, shall forthwith be delivered to the Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by such Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser Indemnitees, shall be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Agent in the exact form received with any necessary indorsement and/or appropriate share powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Agent as Pledged Collateral for the Obligations hereunder, and (C) the Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to such Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to the preceding clause (A) and to receive the dividends, distributions and other payments which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to the preceding clause (B), in each case, to the extent that the Agent has possession of such Pledged Collateral.

(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to any Pledgor, and after written notice from the Agent to the Sellers’ Representative of its exercise of its rights hereunder: (A) all rights of such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7.04(c)(i)(A), and to receive the dividends, distributions, and other payments that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7.04(c)(i)(B), shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, distributions and payments; (B) the Agent may at its option exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of such Pledgor’s Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of Parent, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine; (C) the Agent may transfer all or any part of the Pledged Collateral to Agent’s name or that of its nominee, and exercise all rights as if the absolute owner thereof, and file a proof of claim for, receive payments or distributions on, and exchange or release Pledged Collateral in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding; and (D) all dividends, distributions, and other payments that are received by such Pledgor contrary to the provisions of Section 7(c)(ii)(A) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent as Pledged Collateral in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the such Pledgor’s Obligations.

(d) Pledgor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, all defenses, counterclaims, rights of setoff, any requirement that Agent first proceed against any guarantor or any other security, all requirements for notice of any kind, demand, protest, presentment, notice of non-payment, default or dishonor of any Obligation, notice of acceptance hereof, marshalling of assets and the like, including without limitation, any right to notice or judicial hearing in connection with Agent’s taking possession of or disposition of any Pledged Collateral, any notice of any sale, transfer or other disposition by Agent of any Obligation, any requirement that Agent first proceed against Pledgor, any other collateral or any other Person liable for any of the Obligations, any defense based upon any administrative errors or omissions by Agent and all damages occasioned by any of the foregoing (except as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have been the direct result of Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct). No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any Obligations shall affect, impair or be a defense to any of Pledgor’s obligations or agreements or any of Agent’s rights or remedies hereunder. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may from time to time, without notice to or consent by Pledgor, and without affecting or impairing Pledgor’s obligations or agreements or Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder: (i) sell, release, exchange, settle, compromise or otherwise dispose of or deal with any property or other security for any of the Obligations, and (ii) exercise (in such order as Agent may choose), or refrain from exercising, any rights against any Person liable for any of the Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Pledgor also waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (x) any “one action” or “anti-deficiency” Law that would otherwise prevent Agent from bringing any action, including any claim for a deficiency, or exercising any right or remedy (including any right of set-off) against Pledgor before or after the commencement or completion of any foreclosure action or sale of any collateral for the Obligations, whether judicially, by exercise of power of sale or otherwise, or (y) any other Law that in any other way would otherwise require any election of remedies by Agent.

(e) Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at its own expense, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further actions (a) that are necessary, or that Agent may reasonably request in writing, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby with respect to any Pledged Collateral, provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the only actions that Pledgor shall be required to maintain the perfection of the security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby with respect to any Pledged Collateral shall be to maintain the effectiveness of proper UCC financing statements and/or amendments and take such actions contemplated by clause (iii) of Section 7.04(b) to permit Agent to maintain control over the Pledged Shares (for the avoidance of doubt, Pledgor shall not be required to deliver control agreements with respect to any deposit account or securities account included in the Pledged Collateral or obtain third party waivers or access agreements), or (b) that Agent may reasonably request in writing to enable the Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

(f) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) Agent shall have the right from time to time to take possession of, and sell, redeem, assign, liquidate, transfer and deliver all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, at any brokers’ board or exchange, or at public or private sale or otherwise, at the option of Agent, for cash or on credit for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such times and places, and upon such terms and conditions as Agent may deem proper, and in connection therewith may grant options and impose reasonable conditions, all without (except as same are required by applicable Law and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to Pledgor or any other Person entitled to notice or right of stay, extension, moratorium, appraisal or redemption of the Pledged Collateral, all of which are hereby expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; (ii) upon each such sale, Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, may purchase all or any of the Pledged Collateral, free and clear of all claims, rights of redemption and equities of Parent; and (iii) Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and any other applicable Law.

(y) To the extent required by applicable Law which cannot be waived, Agent will give Pledgor notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral is to be made, by sending notice at least ten (10) days before the time of sale or disposition, which Pledgor agrees is reasonable. Agent need not give such notice if not required by the UCC or other applicable Law. Pledgor agrees that at any private sale Pledged Collateral may be sold at a price that is less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or that is less than the aggregate outstanding amount of the Obligations. Agent may accept the first offer received and need not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree. Agent may comply with any applicable state or federal Law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Pledged Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Pledged Collateral. After deducting its costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, Agent may apply any residue to pay the Obligations in such order as it elects and Pledgor will remain liable for any deficiency with interest. All foreign exchange losses incurred in connection with the conversion of any Pledged Collateral denominated in a foreign currency to U.S. dollars shall be borne by Pledgor. If Agent shall be subject to any volume limitations in the sale of Pledged Collateral, Pledgor shall not at any such time sell, or permit any party controlled by Pledgor to sell, any securities if the sale thereof would adversely affect Agent’s ability to sell the Pledged Collateral. If Agent sells any of the Pledged Collateral upon credit, Pledgor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Agent and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Pledged Collateral, Agent may resell the Pledged Collateral and Pledgor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

(g) Pledgor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each of Agent and any designee or agent (each an “Attorney”) as attorney-in-fact of Pledgor, with full power of substitution, each with authority acting alone, upon determination of the amount of any Agreed Claim to sign or endorse Pledgor’s name on stock certificates, powers, assignments and other documents in connection with the Pledged Collateral, execute proofs of claim and loss, releases, endorsements, assignments and other instruments of conveyance, and do all other acts and things necessary and advisable in the sole discretion of Attorney to carry out and enforce this Section 7.04. All acts of each Attorney are hereby ratified and approved and no Attorney shall be liable for any acts of commission or omission or for errors of judgment or mistake of fact or Law except as a result of any Attorney’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. This power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

(h) In the event and to the extent that any provision of this Section 7.04 shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions, or of such provision in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(i) No failure or delay by Agent in exercising any right or remedy and no course of dealing between Agent and Pledgor shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof. All rights and remedies of Agent shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently. No notice to or demand on Pledgor shall entitle Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand, or constitute a waiver of Agent’s rights.

(j) This Section 7.04 may not be modified, changed, waived or discharged orally, except by a writing signed by Parent and the Securityholder Representative. Any waiver of any provision of this Section 7.04 or any consent to any departure by Pledgor therefrom shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. This Section 7.04 shall be and remain the independent obligation of Pledgor, shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns, and shall be binding upon Pledgor and Pledgor’s heirs, executors, successors and assigns, provided that Pledgor may not transfer, assign or delegate any of Pledgor’s rights or obligations hereunder, and, at Agent’s option, any such purported transfer, assignment or delegation shall be void.

(k) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Agent (or any affiliate of Agent) to or for the credit or the account of Pledgor against any and all of the Obligations. Agent agrees promptly to notify Pledgor after any such setoff and application, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of Agent under this Section 7.04(k) are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that Agent may have.

(l) Agent shall release and surrender all of the Pledged Collateral to the Pledgors promptly after the earlier to occur of: (i) the second anniversary of the date hereof (but only if no Proceeding has been brought prior to such second anniversary); and (ii) the date on which the Indemnified Matters shall have been finally resolved (by settlement, by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment or otherwise), and either (x) no Obligations are due and payable as a result thereof, or (y) all Obligations have been paid in full.

Section 7.05 Unitholder Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Unitholder hereby waives and acknowledges that it shall not exercise or assert, any right of contribution or right to indemnity or any other right or remedy against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other Liability to which such Unitholder may become subject under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with any of the transactions contemplated herein.

Section 8.03 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by any Party (including by operation of Law) without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may assign its rights under this Agreement to its affiliates, it being understood that no such assignment shall relieve Parent of any of its obligations hereunder. In the event the Company or Newco or any of its successors or assigns, (a) consolidates with or merges into any other Person or (b) transfers all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any Person, then, and in each case, the successors and assigns of the Company and Newco shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations set forth in Section 5.09.

Section 8.04 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

Section 8.05 Interpretation. The headings and captions used in this Agreement and the table of contents to this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto and not otherwise defined therein shall have the meanings set forth in this Agreement. The use of the word “including” herein shall mean “including without limitation.” The use of the word “Ordinary Course of Business” shall mean, with respect to any Person, any action taken by such Person in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. The words “hereof,” “herein,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References herein to a specific Section, Subsection, Recital, Schedule or Exhibit shall refer, respectively, to Sections, Subsections, Recitals, Schedules or Exhibits of this Agreement. Terms defined in the singular shall have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa. References herein to any gender shall include each other gender. The word “or” shall not be exclusive unless the context clearly requires the selection of one (but not more than one) of a number of items. References to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form. References herein to any Person shall include such Person’s heirs, executors, personal representatives, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.05 is intended to authorize any assignment or transfer not otherwise permitted by this Agreement. References herein to a Person in a particular capacity or capacities shall exclude such Person in any other capacity. Any reference to “days” shall mean calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified; provided, that if any action is required to be done or taken on a day that is not a Business Day, then such action shall be required to be done or taken not on such day but on the first succeeding Business Day thereafter. References herein to any Contract or agreement (including this Agreement) mean such Contract or agreement as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, that with respect to any Contract listed (or required to be listed) on the Disclosure Schedules, all amendments, modifications, supplements, extensions and renewals thereto must also be listed on the appropriate schedule and disclosed. With respect to the determination of any period of time, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to but excluding.” References herein to any Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and each of them as amended, modified, supplemented, consolidated, replaced or rewritten from time to time. If any party has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, covenant or agreement relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” (or similar phrases) shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. An accounting term not otherwise defined in this Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP. Except where otherwise expressly provided, all amounts in this Agreement are stated and shall be paid in United States currency. The Parties and their respective counsel have reviewed, negotiated and adopted this Agreement as the joint agreement and understanding of the Parties, and the language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. Any information or materials shall be deemed provided, made available or delivered to Parent if such information or materials have been uploaded to the electronic data room maintained by the Company on the Project Aurora Dropbox for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Data Room”) or otherwise provided to Parent’s representatives (including counsel) via electronic mail at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date hereof. The content of the Data Room as at the relevant date set out in the preceding sentence has been stored on two identical encrypted USB devices, of which the Securityholder Representative and Parent each received one for evidentiary purposes on the date hereof.

Section 8.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the agreements and documents referred to herein contain the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter in any way. The Parties have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, Liabilities and obligations with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Agreement, and the Parties expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement. Furthermore, this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations and no Person has any special relationship with another Person that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction.

Section 8.07 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and agreements, certificates, instruments and documents entered into in connection herewith may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts and by fax or email, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement. No Party shall raise the use of a fax machine or email to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a fax machine or email as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a Contract and each Party forever waives any such defense.

Section 8.08 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction. The Law of the State of New York shall govern (a) all claims or matters related to or arising from this Agreement (including any tort or non-contractual claims) and (b) any questions concerning the construction, interpretation, validity and enforceability of this Agreement, and the performance of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, in each case without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Each party to this Agreement hereby IRREVOCABLY waives all rights to trial by jury in any action, suit or Proceeding brought to resolve any dispute between or among any of the parties (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, connected with, related or incidental to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and/or the relationships established among the parties hereunder. THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. Each of the Parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of first, the Courts of the State of New York or if such court declines jurisdiction, then to the federal court sitting in the State of New York, Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, in any action or Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the action or Proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other courts. Nothing in this Section 8.08, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law or at equity. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law or at equity.

Section 8.09 Trust Account Waiver. Each of the Company, Newco and the Securityholder Representative acknowledges that Parent has established the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders, which holds proceeds of its initial public offering. For and in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company, Newco and the Securityholder Representative, for themselves and the Affiliates they have the authority to bind, hereby agree they do not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets in the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to Parent’s public stockholders), and hereby waives any claims it has or may have at any time against or with respect to the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to Parent’s public stockholders) as a result of, or arising out of, any discussions, contracts or agreements (including this Agreement) among Parent, the Securityholder Representative, the Company, Newco and the Securityholders will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to Parent’s public stockholders) for any reason whatsoever; provided that (x) nothing in this Section 8.09 shall serve to limit or prohibit the Eos Companies’ and the Securityholders’ right to pursue a claim against Parent for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account (other than distributions therefrom to Parent’s public stockholders) and (y) nothing in this Section 8.09 shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Eos Companies and the Securityholders may have in the future against Parent’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds, but excluding any distributions from the Trust Account to Parent’s public stockholders).

Section 8.10 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached, money damages would be inadequate (and therefore the non-breaching Party would have no adequate remedy at Law) and the non-breaching Party would be irreparably damaged. Accordingly, each Party agrees that each other Party shall be entitled to specific performance, an injunction or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security or needing to prove irreparable harm) to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any Proceeding, in addition to any other remedy to which such Person may be entitled.

Section 8.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give any Person, other than the Parties and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder (other than in respect of the Purchaser Indemnitees, the Indemnified Persons and Non-Party Affiliates, each of whom is an express third-party beneficiary hereunder and entitled to enforce certain obligations hereunder).

Section 8.12 Schedules. All Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto or referred to herein and the recitals to this Agreement are (a) each hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein and (b) qualified in their entirety by reference to specific provisions of this Agreement. Any fact or item disclosed in any Section of the Schedules shall be deemed disclosed in each other Section of the Schedule to which such fact or item may apply so long as (x) such other Section is referenced by applicable cross-reference or (y) it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other Section or Schedule. The headings contained in the Schedules are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to modify or influence the interpretation of the information contained in these Schedules or the Agreement. The Schedules are not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as, an admission or indication that any such fact or item is material or is required to be disclosed. The Schedules shall not be deemed to expand in any way the scope or effect of any representations, warranties or covenants described in this Agreement. Any fact or item, including the specification of any dollar amount, disclosed in the Schedules shall not by reason only of such inclusion be deemed to be material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of the Agreement and matters reflected in the Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by the Agreement to be reflected herein and may be included solely for information purposes; and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in the Schedules in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in the Schedules is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the Ordinary Course of Business. No disclosure in the Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any Contract, Law or Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. The information contained in the Schedules shall be kept strictly confidential by the Parties and no third party may rely on any information disclosed or set forth therein. Moreover, in disclosing the information in the Schedules, the Company expressly does not waive any attorney-client privilege associated with such information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed therein.

Section 8.13 No Recourse to Financing Sources. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (a) in no event shall the Securityholder Representative, the Eos Companies or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives (i) seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Equity Financing Source in connection with this Agreement or (ii) prior to the Closing seek to enforce the commitments against, make any claims for breach of any Subscription Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, or otherwise xxx, any Equity Financing Source for the Cash Equity in connection with (y) this Agreement or (z) the obligations of the Equity Financing Sources for the Cash Equity under the applicable Subscription Agreement; it being agreed that the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall include the agreement not to commence (and, if commenced, agrees to dismiss or otherwise terminate, and not to assist) any action, arbitration, audit, hearing, investigation, litigation, petition, grievance, complaint, suit or proceeding against any Equity Financing Source, and (b) the Securityholder Representative and the Eos Companies on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates and representatives hereby (i) acknowledges that no Equity Financing Source shall have any liability to the Securityholder Representative or any Eos Company under this Agreement or for any claim made by the Securityholder Representative or any Eos Company based on, in respect of, or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, any dispute relating to, or arising from, the Cash Equity, (ii) waives any rights or claims of any kind or nature (whether in law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) the Securityholder Representative or any Eos Company may have against any Equity Financing Source relating to this Agreement, the Cash Equity or the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing in this Section 8.13 shall in any way limit or qualify the rights and obligations of (x) the Equity Financing Sources for the applicable Cash Equity and the other parties to the Cash Equity (or the definitive documents related thereto) to each other thereunder or in connection therewith and (y) the Securityholder Representative against Parent. Without limiting the foregoing, no Equity Financing Source shall be subject to any special, consequential, punitive or indirect damages or damages of a tortious nature with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8.14 Securityholder Representative.

(a) The Securityholder Representative shall act as the representative of the Securityholders in respect of all matters arising under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents, and shall be authorized to act, or refrain from acting, with respect to any actions to be taken by or on behalf of any Securityholder or the Securityholder Representative, including to enforce any rights granted to any Securityholder hereunder, in each case as the Securityholder Representative believes is necessary or appropriate under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, for and on behalf of the Securityholders, including taking any and all actions that may be necessary or desirable, as determined by the Securityholder Representative, in its sole discretion, in connection with negotiating or entering into settlements and compromises of any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article VII hereof. The Securityholders shall be bound by all such actions taken by the Securityholder Representative and no Securityholder shall be permitted to take any such actions. The Securityholder Representative is serving as the Securityholder Representative solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not personally liable (except in its capacity as a Securityholder hereunder) for any of the obligations of the Company, Newco, any of their Subsidiaries or any of Securityholders hereunder, and Parent (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) agrees that it will not look to the Securityholder Representative or the underlying assets of the Securityholder Representative for the satisfaction of any obligations of the Company, Newco, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the Securityholders. The Securityholder Representative shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken, in connection with the performance by the Securityholder Representative of the Securityholder Representative’s duties or the exercise by the Securityholder Representative of the Securityholder Representative’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, except in the case of its bad faith or willful misconduct. No bond shall be required of the Securityholder Representative. The Securityholder Representative may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. The Securityholder Representative shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Securityholder Representative shall have the full power and authority to interpret all the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, and to consent to any amendment hereof or thereof on behalf of all Securityholders and their respective successors. Parent shall be entitled to rely on all statements, representations, decisions of, and actions taken or omitted to be taken by, the Securityholder Representative relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document.

(b) The Securityholders will indemnify and hold harmless the Securityholder Representative from and against any and all Losses arising out of or in connection with the Securityholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Document, in each case as such Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Securityholder Representative, the Securityholder Representative will reimburse the Securityholders the amount of such indemnified Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event will the Securityholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Securityholders or otherwise. The Securityholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Securityholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(c) The Securityholder Representative may resign by giving 30 days’ notice to Parent and the Securityholders; provided, that (i) in no event shall the Securityholder Representative resign without the prior written consent of Parent and (ii) in the event of the resignation or removal of the Securityholder Representative, a new Securityholder Representative (who shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent) shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of a majority-in-interest of the Securityholders immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 8.15 Legal Representation.

(a) Parent, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company), acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP may have acted as counsel for the Eos Companies and/or their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(b) Parent, Newco and the Company hereby agree on behalf of their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, and each of their respective successors and assigns (all such parties, the “Waiving Parties”), that White & Case LLP (or any successor) and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP may represent the Parent Stockholders, Newco or the Company or any of their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees or Affiliates (collectively, the “Parent Stockholder Group”), in each case, in connection with any Proceeding or obligation, notwithstanding its representation (or any continued representation) of Parent or other Waiving Parties, and each of Parent, Newco and the Company on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any conflict of interest, breach of duty or any other objection arising therefrom or relating thereto. Parent, Newco and the Company acknowledge that the foregoing provision applies whether or not White & Case LLP or Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP provides legal services to Parent or any Eos Company after the Closing Date. Each of Parent, Newco and the Company, for itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby further irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications, written or oral, between (i) Parent or any member of the Parent Stockholder Group and its counsel, including White & Case LLP, and (ii) Newco, the Company or any Securityholder and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP, in each case, made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or Proceeding arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any matter relating to any of the foregoing, are privileged communications that do not pass to Parent, Newco or the Company, as applicable notwithstanding the Mergers, and instead survive, remain with and are controlled by the Parent Stockholder Group, Newco or Company, as applicable (the “Privileged Communications”), without any waiver thereof. Parent, Newco and the Company, together with any of their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, successors or assigns, agree that no Person may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications, whether located in the records or email server of Parent, Newco or the Company or otherwise (including in the knowledge or the officers and employees of Parent, Newco or the Company), in any Proceeding against or involving any of the Parties after the Closing, and Parent, Newco and the Company agree not to assert that any privilege has been waived as to the Privileged Communications, whether located in the records or email server of Parent, Newco, the Company or otherwise (including in the knowledge of the officers and employees of Parent, Newco or the Company).

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 Bylaws 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, and subject to the terms of the Director Nomination Agreement, dated as of [●], 2020, by and among the Corporation and the other parties thereto (as it may be amended and/or restated, the “Director Nomination Agreement”), 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 I Directors”), Class II (“Class II Directors”) or Class III (“Class III Directors”). The term of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the Effective Time, the term of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the Effective Time, and the term of the initial Class III Directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the Effective Time. 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 Effective Time, 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 (and therefore such classification) at the Effective Time, in each case, in accordance with the DGCL and the terms of the Director Nomination Agreement.

Exh B-3

(c) 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 the terms of the Director Nomination Agreement and 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. Subject to the terms of the Director Nomination Agreement and 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a stockholder party to the Director Nomination Agreement provides notice to the Corporation to remove a director designated by such stockholder pursuant to the terms of the Director Nomination Agreement, whether such removal is with or without cause, the Corporation may take all steps necessary to cause such removal, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and such director may be removed with or without cause.

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.

Exh B-4

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, provided, however, that so long as the Director Nomination Agreement remains in effect, the Board shall not approve any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Bylaws, or the adoption of any new bylaw of the Corporation, that would be contrary to or inconsistent with the terms of the Director Nomination Agreement. 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 66 2/3% 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Director Nomination Agreement remains in effect, neither the Board nor the stockholders of the Corporation may not approve any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Bylaws, or the adoption of any new bylaw of the Corporation, that would be contrary to or inconsistent with the terms of the Director Nomination Agreement without the written consent of the parties to the Director Nomination Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Bylaws shall be deemed to limit the ability of the parties to the Director Nomination Agreement to amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Director Nomination Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof; provided that no amendment to the Director Nomination Agreement (whether or not such amendment modifies any provision of the Director Nomination Agreement to which the Bylaws are subject) shall amend the Bylaws.

Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, special meetings of stockholders may not be called by another person or persons.

Section 7.3 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 7.4 No Action by Written Consent. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected by a duly called annual or special meeting of such stockholders and may not be effected by written consent of the stockholders of the Corporation.

Exh B-5

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 (any such person, 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 such a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) 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 delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay, without interest, all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 8.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 8.2: (i) shall be contract rights; (ii) 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; and (iii) shall not be conditioned upon any prior determination that an indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.2 with respect to the related proceeding. 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
CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY

The Corporation renounces, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any Excluded Opportunity pursuant to Section 122(17) of the DGCL.

Any amendment, repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article IX shall not adversely affect any right or protection of any Covered Person existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification. For purposes of this Article IX, “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any other person that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such person.

Article X

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Third Amended and Restated Certificate or the Bylaws, and notwithstanding that a lesser percentage or vote may be permitted from time to time by applicable law, no provision of Article IV, Article V, Article VI, Article VIII, Article IX and this Article X (except by virtue of a filing of a Preferred Stock Designation, but subject to any vote required by law or by other provisions of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate with respect to such Preferred Stock Designation) may be altered, amended or repealed in any respect, nor may any provision of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate or of the Bylaws inconsistent therewith be adopted, unless in addition to any other vote required by this Third Amended and Restated Certificate or otherwise required by law, such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption is approved at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66^2⁄3% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that so long as the Director Nomination Agreement remains in effect, no provision of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate may be amended, altered or repealed in any manner that would be contrary to or inconsistent with the terms of the Director Nomination Agreement.

EXCLUSIVE FORUM FOR CERTAIN LAWSUITS

Section 11.1 Forum.

Section 11.3 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article XI 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 Article XI (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article XI 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. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article XI.

Exh D-4

The issuance (the “Parent Share Issuance”) of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Parent, (the “Parent Shares”), as Merger Consideration pursuant to the Agreement may be deemed to involve an “offer” and “sale” of such Parent Shares within the meaning of Section 2(3) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). To the extent that the Holder is deemed to have been offered and sold Parent Shares in connection with the Parent Share Issuance, the Holder represents and warrants to Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, Eos, the Company and their respective successors and permitted assigns that:

(i) The Holder is an “Accredited Investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. The Holder will acquire the Parent Shares for the Holder’s own account solely for investment purposes and not for the account of others or with a view to the distribution or resale of such Parent Shares or any interests therein.

(ii) The Holder has received and carefully read, reviewed and understands this Letter of Transmittal and all terms and conditions contained herein and the instructions provided in connection herewith. The Holder has been furnished with all other materials relating to the Parent Share Issuance if any, which have been requested by the Holder. Furthermore, the Holder has been afforded an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, Parent in connection with the Parent Share Issuance.

(iii) The Holder acknowledges that: (i) the issuance of the Parent Shares pursuant to the Agreement has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or the securities Laws of any U.S. state or non-U.S. jurisdiction, and that the offer and sale of the Parent Shares is being made in reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering; and (ii) the Parent Shares may not be resold or transferred except as permitted by the Securities Act and any applicable U.S. state or non-U.S. securities Laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom.

(iv) The Holder understands that neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other federal, state or non-U.S. agency has recommended, approved or endorsed the acquisition of the Parent Shares as an investment or passed on the accuracy or adequacy of the information set forth in this Letter of Transmittal or any other documents used in connection with the Parent Share Issuance. The Holder has relied on his, her or its own examination of Parent and the terms of the Parent Share Issuance, including the merits and risks involved, and has reviewed the merits and risks of the acquisition of the Parent Shares with tax, legal and investment counsel to the extent deemed advisable by the Holder.

(v) The Holder has obtained, in the judgment of the Holder, sufficient information to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in Parent. The Holder has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and risks associated with an investment in Parent and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto. The Holder has not relied and will not rely on any representations made by, or other information (whether oral or written) furnished by or on behalf of, Parent or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates or representatives, in connection with the Holder’s decision to invest in Parent.

(vi) The Holder understands that the acquisition of the Parent Shares represents a highly speculative investment, which involves a high degree of risk of loss. The Holder cannot expect to be able to liquidate any investment in Parent in the case of an emergency, or perhaps at all. The Holder has adequate means to provide for the Holder’s current cash needs and possible contingencies, and his, her or its financial condition is such that he, she or it can afford to bear all risks associated with the acquisition of the Parent Shares. The Holder has the financial capacity to hold the Parent Shares for an indefinite period of time and can afford to suffer the complete loss thereof.

Exh D-5

(vii) The Holder confirms that the Parent Shares were not offered to the Holder by any means of general solicitation or general advertising. The Holder, either directly or indirectly through its beneficial owners, as applicable, has a pre-existing business relationship with the Company.

Trust Account Waiver.

The Holder hereby acknowledges that Parent has established a segregated trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of its public shareholders, which holds proceeds of its initial public offering. For and in consideration of Parent entering into discussions with the Holder relating to this Letter of Transmittal, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Holder, for himself, herself or itself and the affiliates he, she or it has the authority to bind, hereby agrees that he, she or it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets in the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to Parent’s public shareholders), and hereby waives any claims he, she or it has or may have at any time against or with respect to the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to Parent’s public shareholders) as a result of, or arising out of, any discussions, contracts or agreements (including this Letter of Transmittal) among Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, Eos, the Company, the Securityholder Representative and the Holder, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to Parent’s public shareholders) for any reason whatsoever.

Survival.

The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements made herein by the Holder shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the Closing. All authority conferred in this Letter of Transmittal and any obligation hereunder shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the Holder and any obligation of the Holder will be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives of the Holder.

Third Party Beneficiaries; Assignment.

The Holder expressly acknowledges and agrees that Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the First Surviving Company and the Ultimate Surviving Company are intended to be express third-party beneficiaries of this Letter of Transmittal. The Holder may not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of the Holder’s rights or obligations under this Letter of Transmittal without the prior written consent of the Ultimate Surviving Company and the Securityholder Representative. The surrender of Units hereby is irrevocable.

Additional Documentation.

The undersigned shall, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents reasonably deemed appropriate or necessary by the Exchange Agent and/or Parent in connection with the cancellation and extinguishment of the Holder’s Units at the Effective Time pursuant to the Agreement. All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned.

Re: Earn Out

Dear Sir/Madam:

Reference is hereby made to (i) that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September [●], 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among X. Xxxxx Principal Merger Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), BMRG Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, BMRG Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Eos Energy Storage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and the other parties thereto, and (ii) that certain letter agreement, dated as of May 19, 2020 (the “Insider Letter”), by and among Parent, X. Xxxxx FBR, Inc., and X. Xxxxx Principal Sponsor Co. II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Merger Agreement, except that “Transfer” shall have the meaning given to such term in the Insider Letter.

Prior to the consummation of the actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Sponsor owns 4,295,000 shares of Class B common stock of Parent (the “Sponsor Class B Shares”). At the Closing, the Sponsor Class B Shares will be converted into an equal number of common shares of Parent (“Parent Shares”, and such 4,295,000 Parent Shares owned by Sponsor after giving effect to such conversion, the “Sponsor Shares”).

In connection with the Closing, the parties hereby agree that 1,718,000 Sponsor Shares (the “Earn Out Shares”) will be subject to certain restrictions as follows:

Following the Closing, Sponsor shall not Transfer a block of 859,000 Sponsor Shares (the “Block A Sponsor Shares”) unless and until either (i) the closing share price of Parent Shares on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Parent Shares are then traded equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period during the Earn Out Period (as defined below) or (ii) a Change of Control (or a definitive agreement providing for a Change of Control having been entered into) during the Earn Out Period (each of clauses (i) and (ii), a “Block A Triggering Event”), unless, in the case of a Block A Triggering Event that is a Change of Control, the value of the consideration to be received by the holders of the Parent Shares in such Change of Control transaction is less than $12.00 per share. If a Block A Triggering Event does not occur during the period from (and excluding) the Closing Date to (and including) the day that is the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earn Out Period”), the Block A Sponsor Shares shall be automatically forfeited and cancelled for no consideration.

Following the Closing, Sponsor shall not Transfer an additional block of 859,000 Sponsor Shares (the “Block B Sponsor Shares”) unless and until either (i) the closing share price of Parent Shares on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Parent Shares are then traded equals or exceeds $16.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-trading day period during the Earn Out Period or (ii) a Change of Control (or a definitive agreement providing for a Change of Control having been entered into) during the Earn Out Period (each of clauses (i) and (ii), a “Block B Triggering Event”, and together with a Block A Triggering Event, a “Triggering Event”), unless, in the case of a Block B Triggering Event that is a Change of Control, the value of the consideration to be received by the holders of the Parent Shares in such Change of Control transaction is less than $16.00 per share. If a Block B Triggering Event does not occur during the Earn Out Period, the Block B Sponsor Shares shall be automatically forfeited and cancelled for no consideration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, if Parent shall, at any time or from time to time, after the date of the Merger Agreement effect a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other similar change or transaction affecting the outstanding Parent Shares, the numbers of Block A Sponsor Shares and Block B Sponsor Shares subject to the restrictions set forth in, and the stock price targets set forth in, paragraphs 1 and 2, shall be equitably adjusted for such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other similar change or transaction. Any adjustment under this paragraph 3 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other similar change or transaction becomes effective.

Any dividends or distributions payable with respect to the Block A Sponsor Shares or Block B Sponsor Shares during the Earn Out Period shall be paid into escrow by Parent. If a Block A Triggering Event or Block B Triggering Event occurs, the funds held in escrow (including any interest and investment income accrued thereon) in respect of the Block A Sponsor Shares and/or Block B Sponsor Shares, as applicable, shall be immediately disbursed in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to an account specified in writing by Sponsor. If a Block A Triggering Event or a Block B Triggering Event does not occur during the Earn Out Period, the funds held in escrow (including any interest and investment income accrued thereon) in respect of the Block A Sponsor Shares or Block B Sponsor Shares, as applicable, shall be immediately disbursed in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to an account specified in writing by Parent. The parties hereto agree that Sponsor shall be treated as the owner of the funds held in escrow for income tax purposes and will report all income, if any, that is earned on, or derived from, the funds held in escrow as income of Sponsor in the taxable year in which such income is properly includable. Parent shall issue an IRS Form 1099 (or a similar form or notice) relating to such taxable income to and in the name of Sponsor until the termination of the escrow arrangement set forth in this paragraph 4. In order to permit Sponsor (or its direct or indirect beneficial owners) to satisfy its tax obligations with respect to such taxable income, Parent shall deliver to Sponsor an amount equal to 30% of the amount of such taxable income (“Tax Distribution”) during the period covered by and included on any Form 1099 (or similar form or notice) delivered to Sponsor. Payment of such Tax Distribution shall be made from the funds held in escrow solely to the extent of available funds.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Sponsor may exercise all of its existing rights, powers and privileges with respect to the Sponsor Shares other than the Earn Out Shares to the extent specifically set forth herein.

The parties hereto hereby agree that the provisions and obligations set forth in Sections 8.03 (Assignment), 8.04 (Severability), 8.06 (Entire Agreement), 8.07 (Counterparts; Electronic Delivery) and 8.08 (Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction) of the Merger Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this letter agreement.
