In the case of any filings required under the HSR Act, each party shall, and shall cause its ultimate parent entity as that term is defined in the HSR Act to, make such filings in no event later than ten (10) Business Days from the execution of this Agreement, and any filing fees for one such filing associated therewith shall be paid 50% by the Company and 50% by Acquiror, with the remainder to be paid by the party incurring such fee. Each party shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate fully with the other party and its Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, waiting period expirations or terminations, orders and approvals. Each party agrees not to extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the other party not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the parties’ undertakings pursuant to subsection (a) above, each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) respond to any inquiries by any Governmental Authority as promptly as practicable regarding antitrust or other matters with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; and (ii) in the event any Governmental Order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement has been issued, to have such Governmental Order vacated or lifted. No party shall, and each party shall cause its controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly enter into any merger, acquisition or joint venture or agreement to effect any merger, acquisition or joint venture that would reasonably be expected to make it materially more difficult, or to materially increase the time required to obtain all consents, authorizations, waiting period expirations or terminations, orders and approvals of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) To the extent reasonably practicable and upon request, all material analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals made by or on behalf of either party before any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any notification and report forms under the HSR Act including documents responsive to Item 4(c) or Item 4(d) of the HSR Act notification and report form, any interactions between any of the Acquiror Parties or Company and Governmental Authorities in the ordinary course of business unrelated to the transactions contemplated hereunder, any disclosure which is not permitted by Law or any disclosure containing confidential information) shall be disclosed to the other party hereunder in advance of any filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent that the parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals. Each party shall, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, give notice to the other party with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance, contact, or any material communication with any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, with such notice being sufficient to provide the other party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact. The Parties may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other under this Section 7.03 as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the party providing such materials.

7.04 Public Announcements. Except as otherwise provided herein, the timing and content of all public announcements regarding any aspect of this Agreement, the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, whether to the financial community, Governmental Authorities, the general public or otherwise shall be mutually agreed upon in advance by the Company and Acquiror; provided, however, that each party hereto may make any such public announcement which, based on advice of counsel, is required by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other parties prior to any such public announcement to the extent practicable, and shall in any event promptly provide the other parties hereto with copies of any such public announcement. This Section 7.04 shall not apply to communications by any party to its counsel, accountants or other advisors or, if the substance of such communication would not reasonably be expected to require Acquiror to file a Form 8-K and/or make a disclosure under Regulation FD promulgated under the Exchange Act, to employees.

7.05 Consents and Waivers. The Company Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts obtain all consents, permits, clearances, approvals, acknowledgements, authorizations, waivers or provide all notices set forth in Section 7.05(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules (including the Sunnyvale Lease Notice). Any consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations, clearances and notices necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions described herein shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Holdings and Acquiror, and executed counterparts of any consents, waivers and approvals shall be delivered to the other party as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof, and copies of such notices shall be delivered to the other party as promptly as reasonably practicable after the making thereof. Except with respect to costs that constitute Company Transaction Expenses or Acquiror Transaction Expenses (which such expenses will be handled as otherwise set forth in this Agreement), any costs incurred as payments to any Person with respect to such consents, waivers, approvals and notices shall be borne by the party seeking such consents, waivers, approvals or notices. In the event the Closing does not occur, any such costs shall be borne by the Person incurring such costs.

7.06 Director & Officer Indemnification.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, in consultation with Acquiror, and pay for a “tail” officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy with a claims period of six (6) years from the Closing with at least the same coverage and amount and containing terms and conditions that are, in the aggregate, not less advantageous to the directors, managers, officers, employees and agents of each Company Party and each of such Company Entity’s existing policies with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Closing (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (the “D&O Tail Policy”). Company shall bear the cost of the D&O Tail Policy as a Company Transaction Expense. During the term of the D&O Tail Policy, Shelf shall not (and shall cause the Surviving Companies not to) take any action following the Closing to cause the D&O Tail Policy to be cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived. Shelf shall also ensure (and shall cause the Surviving Companies to ensure that) if any claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 7.06 shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

(b) From and after the Closing, Shelf shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, indemnify, defend, exculpate and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any individual who, at or prior to the Closing, is or was a director, officer, manager, employee or agent of a Company Party or any of its Subsidiaries or who, at the request of a Company Party or any of its Subsidiaries, served as a director, officer, manager, member, trustee or fiduciary of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (collectively, with such individual’s heirs, executors or administrators, the “Indemnified Persons”) with respect to all acts and omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred whether at or prior to the Closing, including the execution of, and the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any such Indemnified Person is or becomes involved, in any capacity, in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in connection with any matter for which indemnification is available pursuant to the foregoing sentence, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Shelf, from and after the Closing, shall pay, as incurred, such Indemnified Person’s reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith, within thirty (30) days after any request for advancement (including attorneys’ fees which may be incurred by any Indemnified Person in enforcing this Section 7.06), subject to receipt of an undertaking from such Indemnified Person to repay such advancement if such Indemnified Person is ultimately determined to not be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(c) Shelf shall, for a period of six (6) years from and after the Closing, cause the organizational documents of each Company Party and each of their respective Subsidiaries (including each surviving entity under the Mergers) to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnified Persons with respect to indemnification, exculpation from liabilities and rights to advancement of expenses than those set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the organizational documents of such entity, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the obligations of the Company and Shelf contained in this Section 7.06 shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company and Shelf. In the event the Company or Shelf or any of their respective successors or assigns, (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company or Shelf, as the case may be, honor the indemnification and other obligations set forth in this Section 7.06.

(e) On the Closing Date, Shelf shall enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to Acquiror and Holdings with the individuals set forth on Section 7.06(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, which indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective following the Closing.

(f) This Section 7.06 shall survive the consummation of the Transactions, is intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by each Indemnified Person and their respective successors, heirs and representatives, and shall not be amended in any manner that is adverse to an Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of the Company.

7.07 Proxy Statement; Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Shelf shall, and Acquiror shall cause Shelf to, in consultation with the Company, prepare and file with the SEC the Form S-4, which shall include the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, for the purposes of (i) registering under the Securities Act the Shelf Common Shares issuable hereunder and the Acquiror Warrants and any Shelf Common Shares issued thereunder, (ii) providing Acquiror’s stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Acquiror Class A Common Stock in connection with the Transactions and (iii) soliciting proxies from Acquiror Stockholders to obtain the requisite approval of the transactions contemplated hereby and the other matters to be voted on at a meeting of the holders of Acquiror Common Stock to be called and held for such purpose within 30 days after notice thereof and in compliance with the Acquiror’s Organizational Documents and applicable Laws (the “Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting”). As promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, Acquiror and Shelf shall, in consultation with the Company, prepare and file any other filings required under, and in accordance with, the Exchange Act, the Securities Act, the applicable NASDAQ listing rules or any other Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Other Filings”). Shelf or Acquiror, as applicable, shall notify the Company promptly upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff or any other Governmental Authority for amendments or supplements to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any Other Filing or for additional information. As promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, Shelf or Acquiror, as applicable, shall provide the Company and its counsel with copies of all written correspondence between Shelf, Acquiror or any of their representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, or its staff or other government officials, on the other hand, with respect to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any Other Filing; provided, however, that no such information will be required to be provided where it would be reasonably likely to (A) cause or constitute a waiver of attorney-client or other privilege; (B) result in a violation of any Law; or (C) result in a transfer of any confidential information which is not materially related to the Agreement or Transaction. Shelf and Acquiror shall permit the Company and its counsel to review the Form S-4, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto and shall consult with the Company and its advisors, in good faith, concerning any comments from the SEC with respect thereto, and shall reasonably consider and take into account the reasonable suggestions, comments or opinions of the Company and its advisors, and shall not file the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto or any response letters to any comments from the SEC without the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Shelf or Acquiror, as applicable, shall be permitted to make such filing or response in the absence of such consent if the basis of the Company’s failure to consent is the Company’s unwillingness to permit the inclusion in such filing or response of information that, based on the advice of outside counsel to Acquiror, is required by the SEC and United States securities Laws to be included therein. Whenever any event occurs which would reasonably be expected to result in the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement/Prospectus containing any untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Shelf, Acquiror or the Company, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other parties of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the SEC or its staff or any other government officials, and/or mailing to stockholders of Acquiror, an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

(b) The Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be mailed to the Acquiror Stockholders as soon as practicable following the SEC Clearance Date (but in any event, such mailing shall be commenced within five Business Days following such date) for the purpose of soliciting proxies from holders of Acquiror Common Stock to vote at the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting in favor of: (i) the adoption of this Agreement and the approval and consummation of the Mergers and other transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) approval of material differences between the Shelf Revised Charter and the Certificate of Incorporation (if any); (iii) approval of the Shelf 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and Shelf 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (collectively the “Shelf Compensation Plans”), (iv) approval of any matters as agreed by Acquiror and the Company and (v) the adjournment of the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting if necessary to solicit additional proxies to obtain the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, whether or not there are sufficient shares of Acquiror Common Stock to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting (the matters described in clauses (i) through (v), shall be referred to as the “Voting Matters” and approval of the Voting Matters by the Acquiror Stockholders at the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof shall be referred to as the “Acquiror Stockholder Approval”). Acquiror shall keep the Company reasonably informed regarding all matters relating to the Voting Matters and the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting, including by promptly furnishing any voting or proxy solicitation reports received by Acquiror in respect of such matters and similar updates regarding any redemptions.

(c) The Company shall promptly provide Acquiror and Shelf with such information concerning the Company Parties and Company Entities as may be reasonably necessary for the information concerning the Company Parties and Company Entities in the Form S-4, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Other Filings to comply with all applicable provisions of and rules under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the DGCL and the DLLCA in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the solicitation of proxies thereunder, the calling and holding of the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting and the preparation and filing of the Other Filings. The information relating to the Company Parties and Company Entities furnished by or on behalf of the Company Parties and Company Entities for inclusion in the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus will not, as of the date of mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the holders of Acquiror Common Stock, as of the Effective Date or at the time of the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting, contain any statement which, at such time and in light of the circumstances under which it is made, is false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not false or misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, Acquiror and Shelf shall use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Form S-4 and Proxy Statement/Prospectus do not, as of the date on which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is distributed to the holders of Acquiror Common Stock, as of the Effective Date, and as of the date of the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that Acquiror and Shelf shall not be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information relating to the Company Entities or Company Parties or any other information furnished in writing by any Company Entity or Company Party for inclusion in the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement/Prospectus).

(d) With respect to any Acquiror Stockholder outreach in connection with the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company Entities and Company Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Acquiror, and the Company Entities and Company Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their Affiliates and Representatives, including legal and accounting representatives, to provide to Acquiror, all cooperation reasonably requested by Acquiror that is customary in connection with Acquiror Stockholder outreach for the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting, which commercially reasonable efforts shall include, among other things, (i) furnishing Acquiror promptly following Acquiror’s request, with information reasonably available to it regarding the Company Parties and Company Entities (including information to be used in the preparation of one or more information packages regarding the business, operations, financial projections and prospects of the Company Parties and Company Entities) customary for such outreach activities, (ii) causing each of their Representatives with appropriate seniority and expertise to participate in a reasonable number of virtual meetings (including customary one-on-one virtual meetings), presentations and due diligence sessions and drafting sessions in connection with such outreach activities, (iii) assisting with the preparation of marketing materials and similar documents required in connection with any such outreach activities, (iv) providing reasonable assistance to Acquiror in connection with the preparation of pro forma financial information to be included in any marketing materials to be used in any outreach activities, and (v) cooperating with requests for due diligence to the extent customary and reasonable.

(e) Subject to Section 7.07(f) and Section 7.07(h), (i) Acquiror shall include in the Proxy Statement the unanimous recommendation of its board of directors that the Acquiror Stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Mergers and the other Voting Matters, and shall otherwise take all lawful action to solicit and obtain the Acquiror Stockholder Approval and (ii) neither the Acquiror Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw or modify, or publicly propose or resolve to withdraw or modify, the recommendation of the Acquiror Board that the Acquiror Stockholders vote in favor of the Voting Matters (a “Modification in Recommendation”). If the Acquiror Board makes a Modification in Recommendation, it will not alter the obligation of Acquiror to submit the Voting Matters to the Acquiror Stockholders at the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting to consider and vote upon, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting. Acquiror shall not adjourn or postpone the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting without the consent of Holdings; provided that Acquiror may adjourn or postpone the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting, (A) if as of the time for which the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) there are insufficient shares of Acquiror Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting, (B) to allow additional time for the filing and distribution of any supplement or amendment to the or Proxy Statement/Prospectus which the Acquiror Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, is necessary or advisable under applicable Law for such amended or supplemental disclosure to be reviewed by the stockholders of Acquiror prior to the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting, (C) after consultation with Holdings, on one or more occasions for up to ten (10) Business Days each to solicit additional proxies if necessary to obtain the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, (D) to the extent required by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any proceedings in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or (E) with Holdings’ consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Acquiror Board may, at any time prior to, but not after, obtaining the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, make a Modification in Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event (an “Intervening Event Change in Recommendation”) if the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Acquiror Board to the Acquiror Stockholders under applicable Law, provided, that: (i) Holdings shall have received written notice from Acquiror of Acquiror’s intention to make an Intervening Event Change in Recommendation at least four (4) Business Days prior to the taking of such action by Acquiror (the “Intervening Event Notice Period”), which notice shall specify the applicable Intervening Event in reasonable detail, (ii) during the Intervening Event Notice Period and prior to making an Intervening Event Change in Recommendation, if requested by Holdings, Acquiror and its representatives shall have negotiated in good faith with Holdings and its Representatives regarding any revisions or adjustments proposed by Holdings to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable Acquiror to proceed with its recommendation of this Agreement and the Transactions and not make such Intervening Event Change in Recommendation and (iii) if Holdings requested negotiations in accordance with clause (ii), Acquiror may make an Intervening Event Change in Recommendation only if the Acquiror Board, after considering in good faith any revisions or adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that Holdings shall have, prior to the expiration of the 4-Business Day period, offered in writing in a manner that would form a binding contract if accepted by Acquiror (and the other applicable parties hereto), continues to determine in good faith that failure to make an Intervening Event Change in Recommendation would be reasonably likely to constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Acquiror Stockholders under applicable Law.

(e) The parties intend that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) each of Merger 1, Merger 3, Merger 4, Merger 5, Merger 6 and Merger 7 shall be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code, and that this Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g), and (ii) together, the Mergers and the PIPE Investment qualify as a transaction described in Section 351(a) of the Code (the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) the PIPE Investors’ beneficial ownership of Acquiror Common Stock will be disregarded as transitory, the PIPE Investment Amount will be treated as transferred by the PIPE Investors to Shelf for Shelf Common Shares as part of the same plan as the Mergers, and together, the Mergers and the PIPE Investment qualify as a single integrated transaction described in Section 351(a) of the Code are collectively referred to herein as, the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

(f) Following the Mergers, for at least six (6) months following the Closing Date, Shelf shall either (i) continue each Surviving Company’s “historic business” (with the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d)(2)), or (ii) use a significant portion of each such Surviving Company’s “historic business assets” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d)(3)) in a business.

(g) Within two (2) years following the Closing, Shelf will not cause any of the Surviving Companies (other than the Holdings Surviving Company) to (i) dispose of more than 50% of the assets held by it at Closing pursuant to one or more distributions or other transfers where such Surviving Company does not receive an exchange of net value in such transfer, (ii) make any distribution or other transfer that fails to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(k)(1)(i) (in the case of a distribution), Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(k)(1)(ii) (in the case of a transfer other than a distribution), or (iii) otherwise take any action that would result in an actual or deemed liquidation of such Surviving Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(h) Shelf shall, no later than three Business Days before the earlier to occur of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the date that is 75 days after the date of formation of each of the Merger Sub that is a limited liability company, cause to be filed IRS Form 8832 (Entity Classification Election), prepared and executed in duplicate electing for each such Merger Sub to be classified as a corporation under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 with an effective date of the date of formation of such Merger Sub.

Acquiror shall bear the cost of the Acquiror D&O Tail Policy as an Acquiror Transaction Expense. During the term of the Acquiror D&O Tail Policy, Shelf shall not (and shall cause the Surviving Companies not to) take any action following the Closing to cause the Acquiror D&O Tail Policy to be cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived. Shelf shall also ensure (and shall cause the Surviving Companies to ensure that) if any claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 7.12 shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

 (b) From and after the Closing, Shelf shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, indemnify, defend, exculpate and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any individual who, at or prior to the Closing, is or was a director, officer, manager, employee or agent of an Acquiror Party or any of its Subsidiaries or who, at the request of an Acquiror Party or any of its Subsidiaries, served as a director, officer, manager, member, trustee or fiduciary of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (collectively, with such individual’s heirs, executors or administrators, the “Acquiror Indemnified Persons”) with respect to all acts and omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred whether at or prior to the Closing, including the execution of, and the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any such Acquiror Indemnified Person is or becomes involved, in any capacity, in any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in connection with any matter for which indemnification is available pursuant to the foregoing sentence, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Shelf, from and after the Closing, shall pay, as incurred, such Acquiror Indemnified Person’s reasonable legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith, within thirty (30) days after any request for advancement (including attorneys’ fees which may be incurred by any Acquiror Indemnified Person in enforcing this Section 7.12), subject to receipt of an undertaking from such Acquiror Indemnified Person to repay such advancement if such Acquiror Indemnified Person is ultimately determined to not be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(c) Shelf shall, for a period of six (6) years from and after the Closing, cause the organizational documents of each Acquiror Party and each of their respective Subsidiaries (including each surviving entity under the Mergers) to contain provisions no less favorable to the Acquiror Indemnified Persons with respect to indemnification, exculpation from liabilities and rights to advancement of expenses than those set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the organizational documents of such entity, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party.

(d) This Section 7.12 shall survive the consummation of the Transactions, is intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by each Acquiror Indemnified Person and their respective successors, heirs and representatives, and shall not be amended in any manner that is adverse to an Acquiror Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of Sponsor.

No information provided to or obtained by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.15 shall limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the Company, or act as a waiver or otherwise affect the representations or warranties of Acquiror or Shelf in this Agreement. All information provided to or obtained by the Company heretofore or hereafter, including pursuant to this Section 7.15, shall be held in confidence by the Company in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and nothing herein shall modify or limit the obligations of the Company set forth therein. At any time prior to the Closing, Acquiror agrees to disclose, promptly upon a reasonable written request from the Company, via a Form 8-K filing or press release, any information that the Company reasonably believes is material for the purchase or sale of Acquiror Common Stock, which purchase or sale the Company reasonably believes in good faith is not detrimental to or will not adversely affect the successful consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Acquiror nor Shelf shall be required to take any action, provide any access or furnish any information that would be reasonably likely to (A) cause or constitute a waiver of the attorney-client or other privilege or (B) violate any Contract to which Acquiror or Shelf is a party or bound, provided, that the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to make alternative arrangements to allow for such access or furnishing in a manner that does not result in the events set out in clauses (A) and (B) above.

If it is ever held that any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

10.12 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and it is accordingly agreed that the parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court specified in Section 10.06, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (x) any party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity; for the avoidance of doubt, the parties may argue that no breach has occurred. Each party further agrees that no party shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtain any remedy referred to in this Section 10.12, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

10.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law that cannot be waived, each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to trial by jury in respect of any litigation based on, arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or any course of conduct, course of dealing, verbal or written statement or action of any party hereto or thereto, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, statute, equity or otherwise. Each party hereby further agrees and consents that any such litigation shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the parties to this Agreement may file a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

10.14 Failure or Indulgence not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

10.15 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, at any time prior to the Closing, by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Acquiror and Holdings; provided, however, that after the Acquiror Stockholder Approval is obtained, there shall be no amendment or waiver that, pursuant to applicable Law, requires further approval of the stockholders of Acquiror, without the receipt of such further approvals.

10.16 Non-Recourse . 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 entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement), (i) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor, sponsor or representative or Affiliate of any named party to this Agreement and (ii) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor, sponsor 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, Holdings, the Blockers, Acquiror, Shelf or the Merger Subs under this Agreement or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
