(c)If, during the Earn-Out Period, the Acquiror Common Stock outstanding as of immediately following the Merger Effective Time shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, then the applicable VWAP per share specified in each of Section 4(a)(i), Section 4(a)(ii) and Section 4(a)(iii) shall be adjusted to maintain the same economic correlation between (x) the $10.00 per share deemed price at which the Per Share Merger Consideration is issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (y) each respective VWAP per share specified in each of Section 4(a)(i), Section 4(a)(ii) and Section 4(a)(iii), respectively.

Upon the consummation of an Acquiror Sale, the Earn-Out Period shall terminate.

 

(e)If, upon the expiration or termination of the Earn-Out Period, the vesting of any of the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares has not occurred, then the applicable Sponsor Earn-Out Shares that failed to vest pursuant to Section 4(a)(i), Section 4(a)(ii), Section 4(a)(iii) or Section 4(d), as applicable, will be automatically forfeited and transferred to Acquiror for no consideration, and no Person (other than Acquiror) shall have any further right with respect thereto. Upon the occurrence of a forfeiture event, Acquiror will provide its transfer agent documentary evidence of the number of shares being forfeited (the “Forfeited Shares”) and will instruct its transfer agent to transfer the Forfeited Shares.

To the extent that such Sponsor Earn-Out Share fails to vest in accordance with this Section 4 prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Period, any dividends or distributions paid or made in respect thereof (and any interest, income or earnings that accrue thereon) shall be forfeited to Acquiror for no consideration, and no Person (other than Acquiror) shall have any further right with respect thereto.

(g)Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Sponsor Support Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any term or other provision of this Sponsor Support Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, all other provisions of this Sponsor Support Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Sponsor Support Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Sponsor Support Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

 

(h)Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Sponsor Support Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. The parties hereto (i) all agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Sponsor Support Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of Delaware or the federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive and (ii) waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

(i)Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS SPONSOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SPONSOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SPONSOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF A PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS SPONSOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12(I).

 

(j)Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage could occur in the event that Sponsor did not perform any of the provisions of this Sponsor Support Agreement in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breached any such provisions and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that each of the Company and Acquiror shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent any breach, or threatened breach, of this Sponsor Support Agreement and to specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Sponsor Support Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which the Company and/or Acquiror is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any Action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Sponsor Support Agreement, Sponsor shall not allege, and Sponsor hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law, and Sponsor agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection therewith. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon the Company and/or Acquiror will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law or equity upon the Company and/or Acquiror, and the exercise by the Company and/or Acquiror of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
