. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Subs, Pubco, CBA or the holders of any shares of capital stock or other equity interests of the Parent, Merger Subs, Pubco or CBA:

(a) Each share of Pubco Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Excluded Shares (as defined below) or Dissenting Shares (as defined below)) shall be converted into the right to receive one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Parent Class A Common Stock (the “Pubco Shareholder Issuance”).

Each share of Pubco Common Stock held in the treasury of Pubco immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Excluded Shares”) shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

(b) One hundred percent (100%) of the membership interest of CBA issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, with no payment or distribution with respect thereto, be converted into and become (A) two million four hundred thousand (2,400,000) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, (B) one million eight hundred thousand (1,800,000) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Class B Common Stock, (C) warrants (the “W-1 Warrants”) to purchase one million eight hundred thousand (1,800,000) shares of Parent Class A Common Stock in the form of Exhibit F-1 hereto and (D) warrants (the “W-2 Warrants” and, together with the W-1 Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) shares of Parent Class A Common Stock in the form of Exhibit F-2 hereto ((A) and (B), the “CBA Closing Stock Consideration” and (A) through (D), the “CBA Closing Consideration”).

(c) Each share of common stock of First Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) share of common stock of the First Merger Surviving Company, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the First Merger Surviving Company.

(d) One hundred percent (100%) of the limited liability company interests of the Second Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one hundred percent (100%) of the limited liability company interests of the Second Merger Surviving Company, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the limited liability company interests so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding limited liability company interests of the Second Merger Surviving Company.

Section 3.2 Exchange and Payment

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint Colonial Stock Transfer Company, Inc. to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment of the Closing Stock Issuance.

(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, evidence of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock and Parent Class B Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.1 in book-entry form equal to the aggregate Closing Stock Issuance.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Pubco Common Stock at the Effective Time, whose shares of Pubco Common Stock are to be converted into the right to receive shares of Parent Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(a), a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery thereof shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the applicable stock certificates or transfer of the applicable book-entry shares to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify, and shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to CBA) for use in such exchange. Each holder of shares of Pubco Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive shares of Parent Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(a) shall be entitled to receive the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock into which such shares of Pubco Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 3.1(a) in book-entry form, without physical certificates, in respect of the Pubco Common Stock upon: (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Pubco stock certificate; or (ii) 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) in the case of book-entry shares of Pubco Common Stock; in each case, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. Upon payment of the Parent Class A Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE III, each certificate or book-entry share so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, shall immediately be cancelled. All consideration paid upon the surrender of certificates or transfer of book-entry shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Pubco Common Stock formerly represented by such certificates or book-entry shares.

(d) If any certificate representing Pubco Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, the consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Pubco Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate, as contemplated under this ARTICLE III.

(e) Any shares of Parent Class A Common Stock that remain unclaimed by a Pubco Stockholder six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, and any such Pubco Stockholder shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat, or other similar Laws), as general creditors thereof, for payment of the Parent Class A Common Stock without any interest. Any shares of Parent Class A Common Stock remaining unclaimed by Pubco Stockholders five (5) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Pubco shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the shares of Pubco Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, certificates of Pubco Common Stock are presented to Parent for transfer, such certificates shall be cancelled.

(g) At the Effective Time and without any action on the part of CBA Member, all of the membership interest in and to CBA shall be deemed cancelled in CBA’s books and records, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to, within three (3) Business Days following Closing, issue to CBA Member the CBA Closing Stock Consideration, in book-entry form, without physical certificates.

(h) Fractional shares otherwise issuable upon consummation of the Merger shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

(i) None of Pubco, Parent nor CBA shall be liable to any Person in respect of shares of Pubco Common Stock, dividends or other distributions with respect thereto properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 3.3 Working Capital Payment

On the Closing Date, CBA shall have an amount of Working Capital on its balance sheet of no less than seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) (the “Working Capital Amount”). All or any portion of the Working Capital Amount may be comprised of, at CBA’s sole election (a) cash, and/or (b) investments by CBA on the Closing Date into Public Funds (“Fund Investment”). CBA shall notify Parent and Pubco in writing no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date what portion (if any) of the Working Capital Amount will be cash and what portion (if any) of the Working Capital Amount will be Fund Investments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as of one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Working Capital Amount would equal seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) but for the Long-Term Payable, then CBA Member shall have the right to elect, immediately prior to the Closing, to either forgive that portion of the Long-Term Payable equal to the difference (expressed as a positive number) between CBA’s actual Working Capital Amount and seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000) (the “Long-Term Payable Reduction Amount”) or contribute such Long-Term Payable Reduction Amount to CBA as an additional capital contribution, and upon either such election, the Working Capital Amount shall be deemed to be seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000).

Section 3.4 Withholding Rights

. Each Party shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as Parent, the applicable Merger Sub, CBA or Pubco reasonably determines it is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and are remitted to the applicable taxing authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 3.5 Dissenters Rights

. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each share of Pubco Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to dissent under NRS 92A.380 and has properly exercised such right for such shares of Pubco Common Stock in the manner required by NRS 92A.400 to 92A.480, inclusive (“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive a portion of the Pubco Shareholder Issuance unless and until such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right as a dissenter under the NRS. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses such holder’s right as a dissenter, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Pubco Shareholder Issuance, if any, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(a) without interest. Pubco shall give CBA (a) prompt notice of any demands received by Pubco for appraisal of any shares of Pubco Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, attempted written withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the NRS and received by Pubco relating to its stockholders’ rights to appraisal with respect to the First Merger and (b) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any exercise of such appraisal rights under the NRS. Subject to the NRS, Pubco shall not, except, prior to the Closing Date, with the prior written consent of CBA, or on or after the Closing Date, with the prior written consent of the CBA Member, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for payment of fair value for capital stock of Pubco, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

Each of Pubco and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, (B) ensure that the Form S-4 complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act and (C) keep the Form S-4 effective until the earlier to occur of (x) the date the Warrants are exercised and all shares have been issued in connection therewith, and (y) the date the Warrants are terminated pursuant to the terms thereof, unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 9.1. Each of Pubco, Parent and CBA shall furnish all information concerning itself, its Affiliates and the holders of its capital stock to the other Party and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement and, as applicable, shall provide to their and each other’s counsel such representations as reasonably necessary to render the opinions required to be filed therewith. The Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement shall include all information reasonably requested by such other Party to be included therein. Each of Pubco and Parent shall promptly notify the other Party and CBA upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement, and shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide the other Party and CBA with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, and all written comments with respect to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement received from the SEC and advise the other Party and CBA of any oral comments with respect to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement received from the SEC. Each of Pubco and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments from the SEC with respect to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing the Form S-4 (or any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC, mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, each of Pubco and Parent, as applicable, shall cooperate with the other Party and CBA, and provide the other Party and CBA a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response) and shall give due consideration to all reasonable comments provided by the other Party and CBA. Pubco shall notify Parent and CBA, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time of effectiveness of the Form S-4, the issuance of any stop order relating thereto or the suspension of the qualification for offering or sale in any jurisdiction of the Registered Securities, and Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. Pubco shall also use its reasonable best efforts to take any other action required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance of the Registered Securities, and Parent and CBA shall furnish all information concerning such Person and its equity holders as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such actions.

(b) If, at any time prior to the receipt of Pubco Stockholder Approval, any information relating to Pubco or Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, should be discovered by Pubco, Parent or CBA which, in the reasonable judgment of Pubco or CBA, should be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, any of the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties, and Pubco and Parent shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment of, or supplement to, the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement and, to the extent required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to stockholders of Pubco and Parent. Nothing in this Section 7.1(b) shall limit the obligations of any Party under Section 7.1(a).

(c) As promptly as practicable following the S-4 being declared effective, Pubco shall, in accordance with applicable Law and the Pubco Governing Documents, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholders Meeting solely for the purpose of obtaining Pubco Stockholder Approval (and other matters that shall be submitted to the holders of Pubco Common Stock at such meeting); provided, that such record date shall not be more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of the Stockholders Meeting. Pubco shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders entitled to vote at the Stockholders Meeting and to hold the Stockholders Meeting as soon as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. Except to the extent that the Pubco Board shall have effected a Pubco Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 7.6. Pubco shall, through the Pubco Board, recommend to its stockholders that they provide the Pubco Stockholder Approval, include the Pubco Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1(c), if, on a date for which the Stockholders Meeting is scheduled, Pubco has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Pubco Common Stock to obtain the Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, Pubco shall have the right to make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Stockholders Meeting (provided, however, that the Stockholders Meeting shall not be postponed or adjourned to a date that is (i) more than thirty (30) days after the date for which the Stockholders Meeting was originally scheduled (excluding any adjournments or postponements required by applicable Law)) or (ii) more than one hundred twenty (120) days from the record date for the Stockholders Meeting; provided, further, the Stockholders Meeting may not be postponed or adjourned on the date the Stockholders Meeting is scheduled if Pubco shall have received proxies in respect of an aggregate number of shares of Pubco Common Stock, which have not been withdrawn, such that Stockholder Approval would be obtained at such meeting.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent, Pubco and CBA shall take all such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to cause the acquisitions of Parent Class A Common Stock and Parent Class B Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such Parent Class A Common Stock and Parent Class B Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or disposition of Pubco Common Stock by each Person who will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Parent to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 7.2 Interim Operating Covenants

(a) CBA covenants and agrees that, between the date of this Agreement and the earlier to occur of the Effective Time and the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1 (the “Interim Period”), except as required by applicable Law or any Governmental Entity, or as otherwise contemplated by the terms of this Agreement (including Section 7.13 and Section 7.14 hereof), it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct its business, and cause each Subsidiary to conduct its business, in the ordinary course. Without limiting the foregoing, CBA shall not, nor permit any Subsidiary to, take any of the following actions (the “Interim Period Restricted Actions”), without Pubco’s prior written consent:

(9) (i) make any investment in any Person (other than in money market funds, cash equivalents or Fund Investments), or (ii) incur any expenses outside the Ordinary Course of Business greater than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) individually or two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) in the aggregate (other than expenses incurred in connection with the consummation (or in preparation of the consummation) of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements);

(10) transfer any of its material assets, other than transactions in the Ordinary Course of Business; or

(11) enter into any Contract with respect to any of the foregoing.

(b) Pubco covenants and agrees that, during the Interim Period, except as required by applicable Law or any Governmental Entity, or as otherwise contemplated hereby, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct its business, and cause each Subsidiary to conduct its business, in the ordinary course. Without limiting the foregoing, Pubco shall not, nor permit any Subsidiary to, take any of the Interim Period Restricted Actions, mutatis mutandis without CBA’s prior written consent; provided, that during the Interim Period, Pubco shall be permitted to pay the fees and bonus amounts to the individuals in each case as set forth in Schedule 7.2(b); provided, further, for purposes of this Section 7.2(b), Fund Investments shall mean investments by a Pubco Company in a Public Fund.

Section 7.3 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance

(a) The provisions of the CBA Organizational Documents and the Pubco Organizational Documents with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of CBA or Pubco, as applicable, that are presently set forth therein shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were officers or directors of CBA or Pubco, unless such modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent and Pubco shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, in form satisfactory to CBA Member, with an effective date as of the Closing Date, on commercially available terms and conditions and with coverage limits customary for U.S. public companies similarly situated to Parent.

(c) In the event Parent, Pubco or CBA, or its or their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, Pubco or CBA shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.3.

Section 7.4 Resale Registration Statement

(a) Parent shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the SEC, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date (but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date), a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis, pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act or any successor thereto, registering the resale from time to time by CBA Member, its Affiliates (as defined in the Stockholder Agreement), such Affiliates of Parent set forth on Schedule 7.4(a), and any other Person who executes an Additional Purchase Subscription Agreement pursuant to Section 7.9 named as “selling shareholders” therein (collectively, the “Holders”) of all of the CBA Closing Consideration and Pubco Shareholder Issuance, and all shares of Parent Class A Common Stock acquired by the CBA Member, its Affiliates (as defined in the Stockholder Agreement), such Affiliates of Parent set forth on Schedule 7.4(a), and any other Person who executes an Additional Purchase Subscription Agreement pursuant to Section 7.9 (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement” and any CBA Closing Consideration or Pubco Shareholder Issuance so registered, the “Registrable Shares”). The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not available to be used by Parent at such time, on Form S-1 or another appropriate form permitting Registration of such CBA Closing Consideration and Pubco Shareholder Issuance for resale). If the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is initially filed on Form S-1 and thereafter Parent becomes eligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended by post-effective amendment as promptly as practicable, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing but no later than the earlier of (i) 180 days following the Closing Date and (ii) the tenth (10^th) Business Day after the date Parent is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review and shall provide prompt notice to the Holders of such effectiveness; provided, however, that Parent’s obligations to include the Registrable Shares held by the Holders in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement are contingent upon the Holders timely furnishing in writing to Parent such information regarding the Holders, the securities of Parent to be held by the Holders and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Parent to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares, and the Holders shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Parent may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.

(b) CBA Member agrees to comply with all applicable federal and state securities Laws in connection with the resale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement. Parent shall notify CBA Member promptly upon discovery that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or any supplement to any prospectus forming a part of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement contains a Material Misstatement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to supplement or amend such prospectus as promptly as practicable so that such prospectus will not contain such Material Misstatement and shall provide a copy of such supplemented or amended prospectus to CBA Member as promptly as practicable, but no later than one (1) Business Day following the filing thereof with the SEC. Upon being notified by Parent of any Material Misstatement, CBA Member shall refrain from selling any Registrable Shares pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement until such holder receives from Parent copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus prepared and filed by Parent, or until Parent notifies such holders in writing that the then current prospectus may be used.

(c) Following declaration of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be continuously effective until such time as all Registrable Shares covered by such Resale Shelf Registration Statement (i) have been sold (whether pursuant to such Resale Shelf Registration Statement or otherwise) or (ii) may be transferred under Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act without manner of sale or volume restrictions (such period, the “Registration Period”).

(d) From the date of this Agreement until the end of the Registration Period, Parent shall make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by Parent under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Section 7.5 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) During the Interim Period, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective subsidiaries to, afford to the other Parties and to their respective Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice to all of their respective properties, offices, books, Contracts, personnel and records that the other Party may reasonably request and, during such period, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective subsidiaries to and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, furnish reasonably promptly to the other Parties (i) any information concerning such Party or its respective subsidiaries (including with respect to any pending or threatened Action) as the other Party may reasonably request and (ii) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws. In connection with such reasonable access to information, each of the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause its respective Representatives to participate in meetings and telephone conferences with the other Parties and their Representatives prior to the mailing of the Proxy Statement, prior to the Stockholders Meeting, respectively, and at such other times as may be reasonably requested. No investigation under this Section 7.5(a) or otherwise shall affect any of the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement or any condition to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Parties shall be required by this Section 7.5(a) to provide the other Parties or their respective Representatives with access to or to disclose information (A) that is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party entered into prior to the date of this Agreement or entered into after the date of this Agreement in the Ordinary Course of Business in accordance with this Agreement (provided, however, that the withholding Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure), (B) the disclosure of which would violate any Law applicable to such Party or any of its Representatives (provided, however, that the withholding Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure not in violation of any Law or duty) or (C) that is subject to any attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege (provided, however, that the withholding Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure to the maximum extent that does not result in a loss of any such attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege, including by means of entry into a customary joint defense agreement that would alleviate the loss of such privilege). The Parties will use their reasonable best efforts to minimize any disruption to the businesses of the other Parties and any of their respective subsidiaries that may result from the requests for access, data and information hereunder. Prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall not, and shall cause their respective Representatives and Affiliates not to, contact or otherwise communicate with parties with which any of the other Parties or any other of their respective subsidiaries has a business relationship regarding the business of the other Parties and their respective subsidiaries or this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of such other Party (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.5(a) shall be deemed to restrict the Parties from contacting such parties in pursuing the business of the Parties operating in the ordinary course).

(b) From and after the date hereof, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, keep confidential the terms and existence of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the negotiations relating thereto and all documents and information obtained by a Party from another Party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) except (i) to the extent that it is reasonably necessary to disclose the Confidential Information to obtain the regulatory approvals or third party consents or to satisfy third party notice obligations, (ii) for disclosures otherwise made in satisfaction of any of the obligations under this Agreement, (iii) to the extent required by applicable Law (including any filings required by the SEC), (iv) as made public prior to the date hereof by a Party not in violation of this Agreement, (v) CBA may disclose such information to each Public Fund Board, and (vi) without duplication of the foregoing, each of Pubco and CBA may disclose such information to such Person’s equity holders or Affiliates, and their respective Representatives, but subject to the prior receipt of an applicable confidentiality agreement.

(c) The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing, at which time the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, then the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(d) So long as this Agreement is in effect, the Parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements or filings with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and none of the Parties shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement or filing prior to obtaining the other Parties’ consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, (a) the foregoing shall not apply to any press release or public announcement so long as any statements contained therein concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are consistent with previous releases or announcements made by the applicable Party with respect to which such Party has complied with the provisions of this Section 7.5(d); and (b) a Party may, without obtaining the other Parties’ consent, issue such press release or make such public statement or filing as may be required by Law or Order if it is not possible to consult with the other Party before making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Pubco and CBA agree that the initial press release to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be in a form mutually agreed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.5 shall not apply to any release, statement, announcement, or other disclosure made with respect to a Pubco Adverse Recommendation Change issued or made in compliance with Section 7.6(b), or any other disclosures issued or made in compliance with Section 7.5(d).

Section 7.6 No Solicitation.

(a) Takeover Proposal. Pubco shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage the submission of any Takeover Proposal, or, subject to Section 7.6(b), conduct or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, disclose any non-public information relating to Pubco or its Subsidiaries to, afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, or records of Pubco or its Subsidiaries to, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate, or encourage any effort by, any third party (or its potential sources of financing) that is seeking to make, or has made, any Takeover Proposal.

(b) Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding Section 7.6(a), the Pubco Board, directly or indirectly through any Representative, may: (i) participate in negotiations or discussions with any third party that has made (and not withdrawn) a bona fide, unsolicited Takeover Proposal in writing that the Pubco Board believes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; (ii) following receipt of and on account of a Superior Proposal, make a Pubco Adverse Recommendation Change, but in each case, only if the Pubco Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Pubco Board from disclosing to the Pubco Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to a Takeover Proposal, if Pubco determines, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failure to disclose such position would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(c) Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Party shall and shall cause its respective Affiliates to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or pursuant to any Contract to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) taking all actions necessary to cause the conditions to Closing set forth in ARTICLE VIII to be satisfied, (ii) preparing and filing any applications, notices, registrations and requests as may be required or advisable to be filed with or submitted to any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) obtaining all necessary or advisable actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Entities or other Persons necessary in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the making of all necessary or advisable registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Entities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary or advisable to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity or other Persons necessary in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) defending any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed, the avoidance of each and every impediment under any antitrust, merger control, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible, and (v) executing and delivering any additional instruments necessary or advisable to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement; provided, that neither Party will have any obligation (A) to propose, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any assets or businesses of such Party, any of its Subsidiaries (including Subsidiaries of Parent after the Closing) or their Affiliates or (B) otherwise to take or commit to take any actions that would limit the freedom of such Party, its Subsidiaries (including Subsidiaries of Parent after the Closing) or their Affiliates with respect to, or their ability to retain, one or more of their businesses, product lines or assets.

(d) In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, each of the Parties shall give (or shall cause their respective Affiliates to give) any notices to third parties, and each of the Parties shall use, and cause each of their respective Affiliates to use, its reasonable best efforts to obtain any third-party consents that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Parties will, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with the preparation of any required applications, notices, registrations and requests as may be required or advisable to be filed with any Governmental Entity and will cooperate in responding to any inquiry from a Governmental Entity, including promptly informing the other Party of such inquiry, consulting in advance before making any presentations or submissions to a Governmental Entity, and supplying each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications between either Party and any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement. To the extent reasonably practicable, the Parties or their Representatives shall have the right to review in advance and each of the Parties will consult the others on, all the information relating to the other and each of their Affiliates that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that confidential competitively sensitive business information may be redacted from such exchanges. To the extent reasonably practicable, neither Party shall, nor shall they permit their respective Representatives to, participate independently in any meeting or engage in any substantive conversation with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry without giving the other Party prior notice of such meeting or conversation and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, without giving the other Party the opportunity to attend or participate (whether by telephone or in person) in any such meeting with such Governmental Entity.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with obtaining any approval or consent from any Person (other than any Governmental Entity) with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, none of the Parties or any of their respective Representatives shall be obligated to pay or commit to pay to such Person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration, make any accommodation or commitment or incur any liability or other obligation to such Person. Subject to the immediately foregoing sentence, the Parties shall cooperate with respect to reasonable accommodations that may be requested or appropriate to obtain such consents.

(f) Notification of Certain Matters. Each Party shall give prompt notice to the other Parties of any notice or other communication received by such Party from any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) Each Party shall give prompt notice to the other Parties, if (i) any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becomes untrue or inaccurate such that it would be reasonable to expect that the applicable closing conditions would be incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date (as defined below) or (ii) it fails to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

(h) Pubco shall give prompt notice to the other Parties of any Action commenced or, to such Party’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving such Party or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective directors, officers or partners that relates to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Pubco shall give CBA the opportunity to reasonably participate in the defense and settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Pubco Companies and/or their directors, officers or partners relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without CBA’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(i) Parent shall take all actions necessary to (a) cause the Merger Subs to perform their obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and (b) ensure that, prior to the Effective Time, the Merger Subs shall not conduct any business or make any investments or incur or guarantee any Indebtedness other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.7 Further Assurances

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall, from time to time, execute such further instruments and take such other actions as any other Party shall reasonably request in order to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements contemplated hereby, to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements contemplated hereby and to provide for the orderly and efficient transition of the ownership of Pubco and CBA to Parent; provided, however, that any actions not specifically required by other provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements contemplated hereby to be taken after the Closing shall be at the expense of the Party requesting that such action be taken.

Section 7.8 Employee Benefits.

(a) For a period of not less than twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause each Surviving Company to provide each Person set forth on Schedule 7.8 (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with (i) (A) base salary or base hourly wage rate (as applicable) and (B) cash incentive compensation opportunity (including bonuses and commissions), in each case in an amount at least equal to the level that was provided to each such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to each such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Parent shall, or shall cause each Surviving Company to, ensure that, as of the Effective Time, each Continuing Employee receives full credit (for all purposes, including eligibility to participate, vesting, benefit accrual, vacation entitlement and severance benefits) for service with, as applicable CBA or Pubco (or predecessor employers to the extent CBA or Pubco provides such past service credit) under the comparable employee benefit plans, programs and policies of Parent or such Surviving Company, as applicable, in which such employees become participants; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. As of the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause each Surviving Company to, credit to Continuing Employees the amount of vacation time that such employees had accrued under any applicable CBA Plan or Pubco Plan, as applicable, as of the Effective Time and shall not be subject to accrual limits or forfeiture.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, with respect to each benefit plan maintained by Parent or a Surviving Company that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA (each, a “Welfare Plan”) in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, Parent or the Surviving Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Welfare Plan to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable under such Welfare Plan for such Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents to the same extent that such pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions would not have applied or would have been waived under the corresponding CBA Plan or Pubco Plan in which such Continuing Employee was a participant immediately prior to his or her commencement of participation in such Welfare Plan; and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee and their eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the calendar year that, and prior to the date that, such Continuing Employee commences participation in such Welfare Plan in satisfying any applicable co-payment or deductible requirements under such Welfare Plan for the applicable calendar year, to the extent that such expenses were recognized for such purposes under the comparable CBA Plan.

ARTICLE X
TAX MATTERS

Section 10.1 Tax Matters.

(a) Transfer Taxes. All federal, state, local, foreign transfer, documentary stamp, registration, sales, use or similar Taxes, fees or expenses (“Transfer Taxes”) applicable to, imposed upon or arising out of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne solely by Parent. Parent shall file any Tax Return and other documentation in connection with such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, each other Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(b) Cooperation. With respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Parties shall provide each other such cooperation and information as any of them reasonably may request in filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining a liability for Taxes or a right to refund of Taxes or in conducting any audit or other Action in respect of Taxes. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with relevant accompanying schedules and relevant work papers, which any such Party may possess.

(c) Straddle Period Taxes. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for purposes of this Agreement shall be:

(i) in the case of Taxes (x) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (y) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (z) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and

(ii) in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

(d) Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties intend that the First Merger and Second Merger, taken together, will be treated for U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes as (a) a contribution by the Pubco Shareholders to Parent of all of the shares of Pubco Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares), and (b) a contribution by the CBA Member to Parent of all of the membership interest of CBA issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case in exchange for shares of Parent Class A Common Stock in a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Each of the Parties will (and will cause its Affiliates to) (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the First Merger and the Second Merger to constitute a transaction qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment and (ii) not take any action or fail to take any action that could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the First Merger or the Second Merger from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the Parties and their respective Affiliates shall, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, (A) file all Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment (including attaching any required statements described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.351-3 on or with such Party’s U.S. federal income Tax Returns for the taxable year that includes the First Merger and the Second Merger), and (B) take no Tax position inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise), unless required by a “determination” as defined in Section 1313 of the Code. In addition, each Party shall promptly notify all other Parties if it knows or has reason to believe that the First Merger and the Second Merger may not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment (and the Parties shall cooperate to promptly determine whether the terms of this Agreement could be reasonably amended in order to facilitate the qualification of the First Merger and the Second Merger for the Intended Tax Treatment).

ARTICLE XI
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 11.1 Amendment or Supplement

This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto, signed on behalf of each Party.

Section 11.2 Waiver

The Parties may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other Parties contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by such Party. No failure or delay of any Party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder.

Section 11.3 Fees and Expenses

Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Transaction Expense Letter, Pubco will bear its own fees, costs and expenses and those of Parent and the Merger Subs, and CBA will bear its own fees, costs and expenses, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall constitute Transaction Expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including legal, accounting and other professional fees).
