(b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of this Agreement and existing agreements between the Company and each Company Converting Debtholder (including without limitation the Vendor Trust), and without any further action on the part of any Company Converting Debtholder or any other person, all outstanding Company Converting Debt shall be deemed contributed to Acquiror and, subject to Section 3.06(d), represent the right to receive from Acquiror, for each Company Converting Debt Conversion Share, the Per Share Merger Closing Consideration (such right, in the case of the Vendor Trust, shall be allocated to the beneficiaries of the Vendor Trust in accordance with the terms of the Vendor Trust Agreement in exchange for and in satisfaction of such beneficiaries’ Interests (as defined in the Vendor Trust Agreement)).

(c) All of the Company Converting Debt shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and at the Effective Time each Company Converting Debtholder shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to the Company Converting Debt, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Closing Consideration in respect of each of the Company Converting Debt Conversion Shares corresponding to the Company Converting Debt held by such Company Converting Debtholder, subject to Section 3.06(d).

(d) Notwithstanding the automatic contribution of the Company Converting Debt to Acquiror, no Company Converting Debtholder (including, with respect to the Vendor Trust, the beneficiaries of the Vendor Trust) shall receive shares of Acquiror Common Stock unless such Company Converting Debtholder (including without limitation the Vendor Trust on behalf of the beneficiaries thereof) has delivered a Converting Debt Letter of Transmittal (as defined below) and a lock-up agreement in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit G. The Company shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of Company Converting Debt (including without limitation the Vendor Trust) a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Converting Debt Letter of Transmittal”) which shall (i) have customary representations and warranties as to title, authorization, execution and delivery and (ii) acknowledge the treatment of the Company Converting Debt as set forth in this Agreement.

3.07 Earnout.

(a) From and after the Closing until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”), promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the occurrence of any of the following (any one or more of which may occur at the same time), Acquiror shall issue, up to an additional 25,000,000 shares of Acquiror Common Stock in the aggregate (the “Earnout Shares”) to the Company Shareholders (allocated among them as set forth on the Allocation Schedule) as additional consideration for the Merger (and without the need for additional consideration from the Company Shareholders), fully paid and free and clear of all Liens other than restrictions under applicable Securities Laws:

(i) if the Acquiror Common Stock VWAP is greater than $13.50 (such share price as adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.07, the “Minimum Target”) for any period of twenty (20) trading days out of thirty (30) consecutive trading days, 12,500,000 shares of Acquiror Common Stock (the “Minimum Target Shares”); and

(ii) if the Acquiror Common Stock VWAP is greater than $15.50 (such share price as adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.07, the “Maximum Target”) for any period of twenty (20) trading days out of thirty (30) consecutive trading days, 12,500,000 shares of Acquiror Common Stock (the “Maximum Target Shares”) plus the Minimum Target Shares, if not previously issued.

(b) Upon the first Change in Control to occur during the Earnout Period, Acquiror shall, no later than immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, issue to the Company Shareholders (allocated among them as set forth on the Allocation Schedule) as additional consideration for the Merger (and without the need for additional consideration from the Company Shareholders), free and clear of all Liens other than restrictions under applicable Securities Laws, a number of Earnout Shares equal to the following:

(i) if the Change in Control Consideration paid or payable to the holders of shares of Acquiror Common Stock in connection with such Change in Control is equal to or greater than the Minimum Target but less than the Maximum Target, (A) the Minimum Target Shares minus (B) any shares of Acquiror Common Stock previously issued pursuant to Section 3.07(a)(i); and

(ii) if the Change in Control Consideration paid or payable to the holders of shares of Acquiror Common Stock in connection with such Change in Control is equal to or greater than the Maximum Target, (A) the Minimum Target Shares plus (B) the Maximum Target Shares minus (C) any shares of Acquiror Common Stock previously issued pursuant to Section 3.07(a)(i) and/or Section 3.07(a)(ii).

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Change in Control Consideration paid or payable to the holders of shares of Acquiror Common Stock in connection with the first Change in Control to occur during the Earnout Period is less than the Minimum Target, then no Earnout Shares shall be issuable pursuant to this Section 3.07(b).

(c) At all times during the Earnout Period, Acquiror shall keep available for issuance a sufficient number of unissued shares of Acquiror Common Stock to permit Acquiror to satisfy its issuance obligations set forth in this Section 3.07 and shall take all actions required to increase the authorized number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock if at any time there shall be insufficient unissued shares of Acquiror Common Stock to permit such reservation.

(d) Acquiror shall take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Company Shareholders to evidence the issuances pursuant to this Section 3.07, including, if requested, through the delivery of duly and validly executed certificates (if the shares of Acquiror Common Stock are then certificated) or instruments representing the Earnout Shares.

(e) If Acquiror shall at any time during the Earnout Period pay any dividend on shares of Acquiror Common Stock by the issuance of additional shares of Acquiror Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Acquiror Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, then, in each such case, (i) the number of Earnout Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock (including any other shares so reclassified as shares of Acquiror Common Stock) outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event, and (ii) the Acquiror Common Stock VWAP values set forth in Sections 3.07(a)(i) and 3.07(a)(ii) shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the Company Shareholders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

(f) During the Earnout Period, Acquiror shall use reasonable efforts for (i) Acquiror to remain listed as a public company on, and for the shares of Acquiror Common Stock (including, when issued, the Earnout Shares) to be tradable over, the Nasdaq and (ii) the Earnout Shares, when issued, to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq; provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit Acquiror from consummating a Change in Control or entering into a Contract that contemplates a Change in Control. Upon the consummation of any Change in Control during the Earnout Period, other than as set forth in Section 3.07(b) above, Acquiror shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 3.07(f).

(g) Any issuance of Earnout Shares to the Company Shareholders pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Per Share Merger Closing Consideration for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(b) If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the date of loss of such status, such shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the consideration otherwise payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Company Certificate formerly representing such shares and shall not thereafter be deemed to be Dissenting Shares.

(c) The Company shall give Acquiror (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the Appraisal Statute, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Appraisal Statute that relates to such demand and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument.

Accordingly, the Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account and Acquiror to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by Acquiror or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason whatsoever. This Section 6.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

6.06 Proxy Solicitation; Other Actions.

(a) The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide Acquiror with such unaudited interim period financial information and audited financial statement information as is required to be included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The Company shall be available to, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to make their officers and employees available to, in each case, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, Acquiror and its counsel in connection with the drafting of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and responding in a timely manner to comments on the Proxy Statement/Prospectus from the SEC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Acquiror in connection with the preparation for inclusion in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus of any required pro forma financial statements in compliance with the requirements of Regulation S-X under the rules and regulations of the SEC (as interpreted by the staff of the SEC).

(b) From and after the date on which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is mailed to Acquiror’s stockholders, the Company will give Acquiror prompt written notice of any action taken or not taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any development regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in any such case that is known by the Company, that would cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that if any such action shall be taken or fail to be taken or such development shall otherwise occur, Acquiror and the Company shall cooperate fully to cause to promptly be made an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or, to the extent required by Securities Laws, a post-effective amendment to the Form S-4, such that the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus no longer contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided further, however, that no information received by Acquiror pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by the party who disclosed such information, and no such information shall be deemed to change, supplement or amend the Schedules.

(c) Acquiror shall cooperate in good faith with the Regulatory Consent Authorities and undertake promptly any and all action required to complete lawfully the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable (but in any event prior to the Termination Date) and any and all action reasonably necessary or advisable to avoid, prevent, eliminate or remove the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in any forum by or on behalf of any Regulatory Consent Authority or the issuance of any Governmental Order that would delay, enjoin, prevent, restrain or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the Merger.

(d) Acquiror shall promptly furnish to the Company copies of any notices or written communications received by Acquiror or any of its Affiliates from any third party or any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Acquiror shall permit counsel to the Company an opportunity to review in advance, and Acquiror shall consider in good faith the views of such counsel in connection with, any proposed written communications by Acquiror and/or its Affiliates to any Governmental Authority concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that Acquiror shall not extend any waiting period or comparable period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority without the written consent of the Company. Acquiror agrees to provide the Company and its counsel the opportunity, on reasonable advance notice, to participate in any substantive meetings or discussions, either in person or by telephone, between Acquiror and/or any of its Affiliates, agents or advisors, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, concerning or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) Subject to Section 3.11, the Acquiror shall pay all filing fees payable to the Regulatory Consent Authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, in the event that Acquiror pays any such filing fees and the Closing does not occur, the Company shall pay to the Acquiror an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of all such filing fees actually paid by Acquiror unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 12.01(c) or Section 12.01(e).

7.02 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Acquiror and the Surviving Company agree that they shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company and Acquiror and each of their respective Subsidiaries against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company, Acquiror or their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, would have been permitted under applicable Law and its respective certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents in effect on the date hereof to indemnify such Person (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law). Without limiting the foregoing, Acquiror shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time provisions in its certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of the Surviving Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ current and former officers and directors that are no less favorable to those Persons than the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents of the Company, Acquiror or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, in each case, as of the date hereof and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Law.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 7.02 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on Acquiror and the Surviving Company and all successors and assigns of Acquiror and the Surviving Company. In the event that Acquiror or the Surviving Company or any of their respective 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 and the Surviving Company shall ensure that proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Acquiror or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.02.
