(b)           At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of Company Common Stock (other than (x) any shares of Company Common Stock subject to Company Options or Company RSUs (which shall be subject to Section 3.3), (y) any shares of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, which treasury shares shall be canceled as part of the Merger and shall not constitute “Company Common Stock” hereunder and (z) any shares of Company Common Stock held by stockholders of the Company who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL), each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (after taking into account the Preferred Stock Conversion and the Employee Transactions) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock equal to the product of one share of Company Common Stock multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (the aggregate number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock into which the Company Common Stock is converted pursuant to this Section 3.1(b), the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”).

(c)           At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror or Merger Sub, each share of Merger Sub Capital Stock shall be converted into a share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of the Surviving Corporation.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. In lieu of any fractional shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock to which each holder of Company Common Stock would otherwise be entitled in the Merger, the Exchange Agent (as defined below) shall round up or down to the nearest whole share of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock, with any fractional amount of 0.5 or higher being rounded up. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding.

(e)           If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock or Acquiror Ordinary Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class or series, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, change, share subdivision, share consolidation, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then any number, value (including dollar value) or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock or Acquiror Ordinary Shares will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock and Acquiror Ordinary Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 3.1(e) shall not be construed to permit Acquiror, the Company or Merger Sub to take any action with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 3.2     Exchange Procedures.

(a)            Prior to the Closing, Acquiror shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”), reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as the agent for the purpose of delivering the Aggregate Merger Consideration to the Company’s stockholders. At or before the Effective Time, Acquiror shall deposit with the Exchange Agent the number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock equal to the Aggregate Merger Consideration.

(b)            As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall send or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whose Company Common Stock was converted pursuant to Section 3.1(b) into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and the risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper transfer of each share to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as Acquiror may reasonably specify) for use in such exchange (each, a “Letter of Transmittal”).

(c)            Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.1(b), shall be entitled to receive such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), together with a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the transfer of any share.

(d)            Promptly following the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to Acquiror all documents in its possession relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed shall be returned to Acquiror, and any Person that was a holder of shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time that has not exchanged such shares of Company Common Stock for an applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.2 prior to the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, may transfer such shares of Company Common Stock to Acquiror and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor, and Acquiror shall promptly deliver, such applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration without any interest thereupon. None of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any of the Aggregate Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. If any such shares shall not have been transferred immediately prior to such date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article III would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 3.3     Treatment of Company Options and Company RSUs.

(a)           As of the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an option under the Equity Incentive Plan relating to shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock, with such option having substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company Option under the Company Incentive Plan or the applicable award agreement, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions (each, an “Acquiror Option”) except that (a) such Acquiror Option shall relate to that whole number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (b) the exercise price per share for each such Acquiror Option shall be equal to the exercise price per share of such Company Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full cent); provided, however, that the conversion of the Company Options will be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that such conversion will not constitute a “modification” of such Company Options for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.

(b)           As of the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an award of restricted stock units under the Equity Incentive Plan relating to Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock, with such award of restricted stock units having substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company RSU under the Company Incentive Plan or applicable award agreement, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions (each, an “Acquiror RSU”), except that such Acquiror RSU shall relate to such number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock as is equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(c)           The Company shall take all necessary actions to (i) effect the treatment of Company Options and Company RSUs pursuant to Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(b) in accordance with the Company Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreements, and (ii) terminate the Company Incentive Plan and the shares reserved thereunder as of the Effective Time.

Section 3.4     Allocation Schedule. No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Acquiror an allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) setting forth (a) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by each Company Stockholder (after giving effect to the Preferred Stock Conversion and the Employee Transactions), the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each Company Option held by each holder thereof, as well as whether each such Company Option will be an Unvested Equity Award (as defined below) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and, in the case of the Company Options, the exercise price thereof, as well as reasonably detailed calculations with respect to the components and subcomponents thereof and (b) the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration allocated to each Eligible Company Equityholder pursuant to Section 3.1(b), as well as reasonably detailed calculations with respect to the component and subcomponents thereof. The Company will review any comments to the Allocation Schedule provided by Acquiror and consider in good faith and incorporate any reasonable comments proposed by Acquiror to correct inaccuracies.

Section 3.5     Earnout.

(a)           During the Earnout Period, as additional consideration for the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, promptly (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the occurrence of each Earnout Triggering Event, Acquiror shall issue or cause to be issued to each Eligible Company Equityholder (in accordance with his, her or its respective Earnout Pro Rata Share) shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement:

(i)            Upon the occurrence of Earnout Triggering Event I, a one-time issuance of an aggregate of 8,000,000 Earnout Shares; and

(ii)           Upon the occurrence of Earnout Triggering Event II, a one-time issuance of an aggregate of 6,666,667 Earnout Shares.

(b)           For the avoidance of doubt, the Eligible Company Equityholders shall be entitled to receive Earnout Shares upon the occurrence of each Earnout Triggering Event; provided, however, that each Earnout Triggering Event shall only occur once, if at all, and in no event shall the Eligible Company Equityholders be entitled to receive more than an aggregate of 14,666,667 Earnout Shares; provided, further, that Earnout Triggering Event I and Earnout Triggering Event II may be achieved at the same time or over the same overlapping Trading Days.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.5 to the contrary, to the extent that any portion of the Earnout Shares that would otherwise be issuable to an Eligible Company Equityholder hereunder relates to an Acquiror Option or Acquiror RSU that was converted from a Company Option or Company RSU (as the case may be) that is not yet exercisable or remains unvested, as applicable (an “Unvested Equity Award”), as of the date that the applicable Earnout Triggering Event occurs, then in lieu of issuing such Earnout Shares, Acquiror shall instead issue to each holder of an Unvested Equity Award, as soon as practicable following the later of (i) the occurrence of the applicable Earnout Triggering Event and (ii) Acquiror’s filing of an appropriate Registration Statement for such Acquiror RSUs, an award of Acquiror RSUs for that number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock such holder would have otherwise received if such Unvested Equity Award(s) had been vested (such Acquiror RSUs, “Earnout RSUs”). Such Earnout RSUs shall be subject to the same vesting conditions as applicable to such Unvested Equity Award. All Earnout RSUs issued hereunder shall be issued under and pursuant to the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, and the Earnout RSU Share Reserve (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan), for purposes of clarity, shall not reduce the Share Reserve (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) under the Equity Incentive Plan.

(d)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the forfeiture of any Unvested Equity Awards in accordance with their terms, such Eligible Company Equityholder’s right to receive any Earnout Shares or Earnout RSUs in respect of such Unvested Equity Award shall immediately terminate.

(e)            If, during the Earnout Period, there is a Change of Control, any Earnout Shares not previously issued pursuant to Section 3.5(a) shall be issued to each Eligible Company Equityholder (in accordance with his, her or its respective Earnout Pro Rata Share), and thereafter, this Section 3.5 shall terminate and no Earnout Shares shall be issuable hereunder.

(f)            If, during the Earnout Period, (i) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Acquiror is initiated, (ii) any bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation proceeding is instituted by or against Acquiror or (iii) Acquiror makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or consents to the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or a substantial part of its assets or properties, any Earnout Shares not previously issued pursuant to Section 3.5(a) shall be issued to each Eligible Company Equityholder (in accordance with his, her or its respective Earnout Pro Rata Share).

(g)            The Earnout Share price targets set forth in the definitions of Earnout Triggering Event I and Earnout Triggering Event II, and the number of Earnout Shares issuable in each event, as provided in this Section 3.5, shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock occurring on or after the Closing (other than the conversion of the Acquiror Ordinary Shares into Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock at the Closing).

(h)            No fractional Earnout Shares shall be issued pursuant to this Section 3.5. In lieu of any fractional Earnout Shares to which an Eligible Company Equityholder would otherwise be entitled, such amount of shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding.

Section 3.6     Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Acquiror, the Company and the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement any such Taxes as may be required to be deducted and withheld from such amounts under the Code or any other applicable Law (as reasonably determined by Acquiror, the Company, or the Exchange Agent, respectively). To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made and paid to the applicable Governmental Authority. Prior to Acquiror, the Company or the Exchange Agent making any deduction or withholding determined to be required under applicable Law, the parties hereto shall cooperate in good faith to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including through the request and provision of any statements, forms or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding).

Section 3.7     Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares of Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1 without interest thereon, upon transfer of such shares. The Company shall provide Acquiror prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any waiver or withdrawal of any such demand, and any other demand, notice, or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time that relates to such demand. Except with the prior written consent of (i) Acquiror (which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied), the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle, any such demands, and (ii) the Company (which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied), Acquiror and Acquiror’s Affiliates (including their respective officers, directors, employees or shareholders) shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise, any such demands.

The Trust Agreement is valid and in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms and has not been amended or modified. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other arrangements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Acquiror SEC Filings to be inaccurate or that would entitle any Person (other than shareholders of Acquiror holding Acquiror Class A Ordinary Shares sold in Acquiror’s initial public offering who shall have elected to redeem their Acquiror Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to Acquiror’s Governing Documents and the underwriters of Acquiror’s initial public offering with respect to deferred underwriting commissions) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released other than to pay Taxes and payments with respect to all Acquiror Share Redemptions. There are no claims or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Acquiror, threatened with respect to the Trust Account. Acquiror has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and is not in default, breach or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the Trust Agreement, and no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default or breach thereunder. Since August 17, 2020, Acquiror has not released any money from the Trust Account (other than interest income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account as permitted by the Trust Agreement).

As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder, neither Acquiror or Merger Sub have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to Acquiror and Merger Sub on the Closing Date.

Such Acquiror D&O Tail Policy shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured than) the coverage provided under Acquiror’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided that Acquiror shall not pay a premium for such “tail” policy or policies in excess of three hundred fifty percent (350%) of the most recent annual premium paid by Acquiror prior to the date of this Agreement.

In the event that Acquiror or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Acquiror shall ensure that proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Acquiror shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.8. The D&O Indemnified Parties are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.8.

(f)            On the Closing Date, Acquiror shall enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to each of the Company and Acquiror with the post-Closing directors and officers of Acquiror, which indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective following the Closing.

Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Company, Acquiror shall not (other than changes that are solely ministerial and other de minimis changes) permit any amendment or modification to be made to, permit any waiver (in whole or in part) of, or provide consent to modify (including consent to terminate), any provision or remedy under, or any replacements of, any of the Subscription Agreements, in each case, other than any assignment or transfer expressly permitted thereby (without any further amendment, modification or waiver to such assignment or transfer provision). Subject to the immediately preceding sentence and in the event that all conditions in the Subscription Agreements have been satisfied, Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions required, necessary or that it otherwise deems to be proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements on the terms described therein, including using its reasonable best efforts to enforce its rights under the Subscription Agreements to cause the PIPE Investors to pay to Acquiror the applicable purchase price under each PIPE Investor’s applicable Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms.

The Company further acknowledges that, as described in the prospectus dated August 17, 2020 (the “Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of Acquiror’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Acquiror’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a the trust account for the benefit of Acquiror, certain of its public stockholders and the underwriters of Acquiror’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). The Company acknowledges that it has been advised by Acquiror that, except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Acquiror to pay its franchise Tax, income Tax and similar obligations, the Trust Agreement provides that cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only in the limited circumstances set forth in the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Acquiror and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, dated August 17, 2020. For and in consideration of Acquiror entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they have or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agree not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with Acquiror, including, without limitation, in connection with any willful and material breach by Acquiror , other than for the release of proceeds from the Trust Account upon the consummation of the Merger.

Section 11.8     Headings; Counterparts. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 11.9     Company and Acquiror Disclosure Letters. The Company Disclosure Letter and the Acquiror Disclosure Letter (including, in each case, any section thereof) referenced herein are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. Any disclosure made by a party in the applicable Disclosure Letter, or any section thereof, with reference to any section of this Agreement or section of the applicable Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to such other applicable sections of this Agreement or sections of the applicable Disclosure Letter if it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is responsive to such other section of this Agreement or section of the applicable Disclosure Letter. Certain information set forth in the Disclosure Letters is included solely for informational purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. The disclosure of any information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality.

Section 11.10   Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement (together with the Company Disclosure Letter and the Acquiror Disclosure Letter), (b) the Sponsor Support Agreement and Company Stockholder Support Agreement (the “Ancillary Agreements”) and (c) the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2020, between Acquiror and the Company or its Affiliate (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) constitute the entire agreement among the parties to this Agreement relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(a)            All press releases or other public communications relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall prior to the Closing be subject to the prior mutual written consent of Acquiror and the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by any party; provided, that no party shall be required to obtain consent pursuant to this Section 11.12(a) to the extent any proposed release or statement is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section 11.12(a).

(b)            The restriction in Section 11.12(a) shall not apply to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities Law, any Governmental Authority or stock exchange rule; provided, however, that in such an event, the party making the announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party in advance to review its form, content and timing and to consider such comments in good faith. Disclosures resulting from the parties’ efforts to obtain approval or early termination under the HSR Act and to make any relating filing shall be deemed not to violate this Section 11.12.

Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, Acquiror shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the “Signing Filing”) with the Signing Press Release and a description of this Agreement as required by, and in compliance with, the securities Laws, which the Company shall have the opportunity to review and comment upon prior to filing and Acquiror shall consider such comments in good faith.

Section 11.13   Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.

Section 11.14   Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)      Any proceeding or Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby must be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally (i) consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such proceeding or Action, (ii) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, (iii) agrees that all claims in respect of the proceeding or Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and (iv) agrees not to bring any proceeding or Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court.

(b)     EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY, UNCONDITIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 11.15   Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage could occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any Action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party shall allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law, and each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection therewith.

Section 11.16   Non-Recourse. Except in the case of claims against a Person in respect of such Person’s actual fraud:

(a)      this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the Company, Acquiror and Merger Sub as named parties hereto; and

(b)            except to the extent a party hereto (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such party hereto), (i) no past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of the Company, Acquiror or Merger Sub and (ii) no past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in Contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Company, Acquiror or Merger Sub under this Agreement for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
