1.8 Exchange Procedures.

(a) At the Effective Time, (i) the holders of the Purchaser Common Stock will surrender their stock certificates or other instruments representing the Purchaser Common Stock (collectively, the “Purchaser Certificates”), or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Purchaser Certificate, upon delivery of Lost Certificate Affidavit (and indemnity, if required) in the manner provided in Section 1.8(f), to Pubco for cancellation together with any related documentation reasonably requested by Pubco in connection therewith.

(c) If certificates representing the shares of Pubco Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Purchaser Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Purchaser Certificates so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the persons requesting such exchange will have paid to Pubco or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates representing the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Purchaser Certificates surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Pubco or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

5

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a share of Pubco Common Stock will be issued by Pubco by virtue of this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Pubco Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Pubco Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall instead have the number of shares of Pubco Common Stock issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest whole share of Pubco Common Stock.

(e) No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date of this Agreement with respect to Pubco Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holders of any Company Certificates or Purchaser Certificates that have not yet been surrendered with respect to the shares of Pubco Common Stock to be issued upon surrender thereof until the holders of record of such Company Certificates or Purchaser Certificates shall surrender such certificates. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Company Certificates or Purchaser Certificates, Pubco shall promptly deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, the certificates representing the shares of Pubco Common Stock issued in exchange therefor and the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Pubco Common Stock.

The Parties hereby agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment.

1.10 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, agreements, privileges, powers and franchises of Purchaser and Purchaser Merger Sub, the officers and directors of Purchaser and Purchaser Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective entities to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

At the Closing, Pubco, the Purchaser and the Company shall effect the Arrangement in the manner set out in Article III hereof and the Plan of Arrangement, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, upon completion of the Arrangement, Pubco, directly or indirectly, shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding Company Shares held by the Company Shareholders (collectively, the “Purchased Shares”), free and clear of all Liens (other than potential restrictions on resale under applicable securities Laws).

2.2 Transaction Consideration.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and under the Plan of Arrangement, in full payment for the Purchased Shares, Pubco, Callco or ExchangeCo, as applicable, shall issue and deliver to the Non-Electing Company Security Holders an aggregate number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and to the Electing Company Security Holders an aggregate number of Exchangeable Shares (such shares, collectively, the “Consideration Shares”) with an aggregate value (such amount, the “Transaction Consideration”) equal to (a) Two Hundred and Sixty Million U.S. Dollars ($260,000,000), minus (b) the amount of Closing Net Debt, minus (c) the value of the “Company Incentive Shares” actually used as incentives to support the Equity Investment or Debt Financing as described in Section 8.18(b), with each Company Shareholder receiving for each Company Share held (but excluding any treasury shares) a number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock or Exchangeable Shares, as applicable, equal to (i) the Per Share Price, divided by (ii) the Redemption Price (the “Conversion Ratio”) (the total portion of the Transaction Consideration payable to all Company Shareholders (but excluding holders of Company Options) in accordance with this Agreement is also referred to herein as the “Shareholder Transaction Consideration”). The holders of Company Options shall receive such number of Assumed Options as described in Section 2.2(c) with such terms and conditions as described in Section 2.2(c).

(b) Concurrently with the issuance and delivery of Consideration Shares to Electing Company Security Holders, such Electing Company Security Holders shall also receive a number of shares of Pubco Class C Common Stock that is equal to the number of Electing Company Shares transferred by such Electing Company Security Holder to ExchangeCo.

(c) Each outstanding Company Option shall be assumed by Pubco and automatically converted into an option for shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock (each, an “Assumed Option”) in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement. Each Assumed Option will be subject to the same general terms and conditions set forth in the Company Equity Plan. The Assumed Options shall either be evidenced by stand-alone option award agreements on generally the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Company Equity Plan, or if the Pubco Equity Plan is approved by the Purchaser Stockholders at the Purchaser Stockholder Special Meeting, will be included within the Pubco Equity Plan. As described in the Plan of Arrangement, each Assumed Option shall: (i) have the right to acquire a number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock equal to (as rounded down to the nearest whole number) the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock which the Company Option had the right to acquire immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Conversion Ratio; (ii) have an exercise price equal to (as rounded up to the nearest whole cent) the quotient of (A) the exercise price of the Company Option (in U.S. Dollars), divided by (B) the Conversion Ratio; and (iii) be subject to the same vesting schedule as the applicable Company Option. Pubco shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Assumed Options remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of such Assumed Option.

The Purchaser Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable definitions contained in this Agreement.

2.5 Earnout.

(a) After the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company Shareholders as of immediately prior to the Closing who are Non-Electing Company Security Holders and the Company Shareholders as of immediately prior to the Closing who are Electing Company Security Holders shall have the contingent and non-transferrable right to receive their Pro Rata Share of up to an aggregate additional twenty five million (25,000,000) shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock in the case of Non-Electing Company Security Holders and Exchangeable Shares, in the case of Electing Company Security Holders, plus an aggregate amount of shares of PubCo Class A Common Stock in the case of Non-Electing Company Security Holders and Exchangeable Shares, in the case of Electing Company Security Holders, equal to the “Additional Company Incentive Shares” provided by the Company pursuant to Section 8.18(b) (subject to equitable adjustment for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the Closing, including to account for any equity securities into which such shares are exchanged or converted) (the “Earnout Shares”), as additional consideration based on the performance of the Pubco Class A Common Stock or achievement of certain clinical milestones during the five (5) year period after the Closing (the “Earnout Period”). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company Shareholders’ right to receive the Earnout Shares shall vest and become due and issuable as follows:

(i) the Company Shareholders shall be entitled to receive one-third (1/3) of the Earnout Shares in the event that the VWAP of the Pubco Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) (the “Tier I Share Price Target”), for twenty (20) Trading Days out of any consecutive twenty (20) Trading Day period during the Earnout Period;

8

(ii) the Company Shareholders shall be entitled to receive an additional one-third (1/3) of the Earnout Shares in the event that either (i) the VWAP of the Pubco Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $14.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) (the “Tier II Share Price Target”), for twenty (20) Trading Days out of any consecutive twenty (20) Trading Day period during the Earnout Period, or (ii) the Company successfully completes a Phase 1B clinical trial for multiple myeloma, meaning for this purpose, the completion of an interim data analysis which is sufficient to obtain an agreement with the FDA in which the FDA permits the Company to move forward to a phase 2 clinical study following a Type B End-of-Phase-1 meeting (the “First Clinical Milestone”); and

(iii) the Company Shareholders shall be entitled to receive the remaining one-third (1/3) of the Earnout Shares in the event that either (i) the VWAP of the Pubco Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) (the “Tier III Share Price Target” and, together with the Tier I Share Price Target and the Tier II Share Price Target, the “Share Price Targets”) for twenty (20) Trading Days out of any consecutive twenty (20) Trading Day period during the Earnout Period, or (ii) the Company successfully completes an FDA required bridging study in healthy volunteers that proves bioequivalence between the ambulatory subcutaneous delivery pump and either a transdermal patch or an on body subcutaneous delivery pump (the “Second Clinical Milestone”, and, together with the First Clinical Milestone, the “Clinical Milestones”).

The Share Price Targets shall be equitably adjusted for any consolidation, stock split or similar change to the Pubco Class A Common Stock during the Earnout Period.

In the event that the applicable Share Price Target or a Clinical Milestone is not met during the Earnout Period, the Company Shareholders shall not be entitled to receive the applicable portion of the Earnout Shares for such Share Price Target or Clinical Milestone. For the avoidance of doubt, Earnout Shares shall vest and be issued only in connection with the first achievement of a Share Price Target or Clinical Milestone during the Earnout Period, and the Company Shareholders shall not be entitled to Earnout Shares for any subsequent achievement of such Share Price Target. The achievement of any Share Price Target shall be deemed to include the achievement of any lower Share Price Target, and Pubco shall issue the Earnout Shares attributable to each Share Price Target together (upon which such lower included Share Price Targets shall be deemed achieved and no further Earnout Shares shall become payable upon subsequent achievements of such lower included Share Price Targets).

9

(b) Pubco’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) shall monitor the VWAP of Pubco Class A Common Stock on each Trading Day during the Earnout Period, and as soon as practicable (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the end of each monthly anniversary of the Closing during the Earnout Period, the CFO will prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative and the Purchaser Representative (each, a “Representative Party”) a written statement (each, an “Earnout Statement”) that sets forth (i) the VWAP of Pubco Class A Common Stock on each Trading Day for such monthly anniversary period then ended and the preceding monthly period and (ii) whether a Share Price Target has been achieved during such monthly anniversary period. Similarly, as soon as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after a Clinical Milestone has been achieved, the CFO will send an Earnout Statement to each Representative Party indicating that a Clinical Milestone has occurred, along with the details of such Clinical Milestone. Each Representative Party will have ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of an Earnout Statement to review it, and each Representative Party and its Representatives on its behalf may make inquiries to the CFO and related Purchaser and Company personnel and advisors regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Earnout Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and Purchaser and the Company shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection therewith. If either Representative Party has any objections to an Earnout Statement, such Representative Party shall deliver to Pubco (to the attention of the CFO) and the other Representative Party a statement setting forth its objections thereto (in reasonable detail). If such written statement is not delivered by a Representative Party within ten (10) Business Days following the date of delivery of each Earnout Statement, then such Representative Party will have waived its right to contest such Earnout Statement and the calculation of the VWAP of Pubco Class A Common Stock during the applicable portion of the Earnout Period (and whether a Share Price Target has been achieved) or whether a Clinical Milestone has occurred as set forth therein. If such written statement is delivered by a Representative Party within such ten (10) Business Day period, then the Representative Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections for a period of ten (10) Business Day thereafter. If the Representative Parties do not reach a final resolution within such ten (10) Business Day period, then upon the written request of either Representative Party the Representative Parties will refer the dispute to the Independent Expert for final resolution of the dispute in accordance with Section 2.5(c). For purposes hereof, the “Independent Expert” shall mean, with respect any dispute as to the achievement of the Share Price Targets, a mutually acceptable independent (i.e., no prior material business relationship with any party for the prior two (2) years) accounting firm appointed by the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative, and, with respect to any dispute as to the achievement of the Clinical Milestones, a mutually acceptable expert with experience in clinical trial consulting for cancer products.

(c) If a dispute with respect to an Earnout Statement is submitted in accordance with this Section 2.5 to the Independent Expert for final resolution, the Parties will follow the procedures set forth in this Section 2.5(c). Each of the Seller Representative and the Purchaser Representative agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Expert, a reasonable engagement letter with respect to the determination to be made by the Independent Expert. All fees and expenses of the Independent Expert, and all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by a Representative Party in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Independent Expert, will be borne by the Purchaser. The Independent Expert will determine only those issues still in dispute as of the Independent Expert Notice Date and the Independent Expert’s determination will be based solely upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The determination by the Independent Expert will be based solely on presentations with respect to such disputed items by the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative to the Independent Expert and not on the Independent Expert’s independent review with the Independent Expert making its determination with respect to each issue by selecting the applicable position submitted by either the Purchaser Representative or Seller Representative in their respective presentation; provided, that such presentations will be deemed to include any work papers, records, accounts or similar materials delivered to the Independent Expert by a Representative Party in connection with such presentations and any materials delivered to the Independent Expert in response to requests by the Independent Expert. Each of the Seller Representative and the Purchaser Representative will use their commercially reasonable efforts to make their respective presentations as promptly as practicable following submission to the Independent Expert of the disputed items, and each such Representative Party will be entitled, as part of its presentation, to respond to the presentation of the other Representative Party and any questions and requests of the Independent Expert. In deciding any matter, the Independent Expert will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 2.5. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the activities of the Independent Expert in connection herewith are not (and should not be considered to be or treated as) an arbitration proceeding or similar arbitral process and that no formal arbitration rules should be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). The Representative Parties will request that the Independent Expert’s determination be made within forty-five (45) days after its engagement, or as soon thereafter as possible, will be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Representative Parties and will be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding for all purposes hereunder (other than for fraud or manifest error).

10

(d) If there is a final determination in accordance with this Section 2.5 that the Company Shareholders are entitled to receive any of the Earnout Shares for having achieved a Share Price Target or a Clinical Milestone, the applicable portion of the Earnout Shares will be due upon such final determination and Pubco or ExchangeCo, as applicable, will deliver such portion of the Earnout Shares to the Company Shareholders within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, with each Company Shareholder receiving its Pro Rata Share of such Earnout Shares.

(e) Following the Closing (including during the Earnout Period), Pubco and its Subsidiaries, including the Target Companies, will be entitled to operate their respective businesses based upon the business requirements of Pubco and its Subsidiaries. Each of Pubco and its Subsidiaries, including the Target Companies will be permitted, following the Closing (including during the Earnout Period), to make changes at its sole discretion to its operations, organization, personnel, accounting practices and other aspects of its business, including actions that may have an impact on, the VWAP of Pubco Class A Common Stock and the ability of the Company Shareholders to earn the Earnout Shares, and the Company Shareholders will not have any right to claim the loss of all or any portion of any Earnout Shares or other damages as a result of such decisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pubco (i) shall authorize and devote such resources and personnel as are necessary and appropriate to pursue the Clinical Milestones during the Earnout Period, and (ii) shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, including the Target Companies, to not, take or omit to take any action that is in bad faith and has the primary purpose of avoiding, reducing or preventing the achievement or attainment of the Share Price Targets or Clinical Milestones.

Article XI
WAIVERS AGAINST

11.1 Waiver of Claims Against Trust. Reference is made to the IPO Prospectus. The Company and the Seller Representative each hereby represents and warrants that it has read the IPO Prospectus and understands that Purchaser has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO and the overallotment shares acquired by Purchaser’s underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Purchaser’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by Purchaser’s underwriters) (the “Public Stockholders”) and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, Purchaser may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their shares of Purchaser Class A Common Stock in connection with the consummation of its initial business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (“Business Combination”) or in connection with an amendment to Purchaser’s Organizational Documents to extend Purchaser’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if the Purchaser fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty four (24) months after the closing of the IPO, subject to extension by an amendment to Purchaser’s Organizational Documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses, and (d) to Purchaser after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of Purchaser entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and the Seller Representative hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Seller Representative nor any of their respective Affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between Purchaser or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company or the Seller Representative or any of their respective Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Each of the Company and the Seller Representative on behalf of itself and its Affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that any such Party or any of its Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Purchaser or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with Purchaser or its Affiliates). The Company and the Seller Representative each agree and acknowledge that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Purchaser and its Affiliates to induce Purchaser to enter in this Agreement, and each of the Company and the Seller Representative further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent the Company or the Seller Representative or any of their respective Affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Purchaser or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Purchaser or its Representatives, each of the Company and the Seller Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that its and its Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event that the Company or any of its Affiliates commences Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Purchaser or its Representatives which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Stockholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, Purchaser and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the Company and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such Action, in the event Purchaser or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such Action. This Section 11.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason and continue indefinitely.

12.3 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of Purchaser, Pubco, the Company (and after the Closing, the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative), and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of its obligations hereunder.

12.4 Third Parties. Except for the rights of the D&O Indemnified Persons set forth in Section 8.16, which the Parties acknowledge and agree are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any Person that is not a Party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a Party.

12.5 Arbitration. Any and all disputes, controversies and claims (other than applications for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction or other equitable relief or application for enforcement of a resolution under this Section 12.5, and any dispute to be determined by the Independent Expert in accordance with Section 2.5(c)) arising out of, related to, or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Dispute”) shall be governed by this Section 12.5. A party must, in the first instance, provide written notice of any Disputes to the other parties subject to such Dispute, which notice must provide a reasonably detailed description of the matters subject to the Dispute. The parties involved in such Dispute shall seek to resolve the Dispute on an amicable basis within ten (10) Business Days of the notice of such Dispute being received by such other parties subject to such Dispute (the “Resolution Period”); provided, that if any Dispute would reasonably be expected to have become moot or otherwise irrelevant if not decided within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Dispute, then there shall be no Resolution Period with respect to such Dispute. Any Dispute that is not resolved during the Resolution Period may immediately be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to the then-existing Expedited Procedures (as defined in the AAA Procedures) of the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Procedures”) of the AAA. Any party involved in such Dispute may submit the Dispute to the AAA to commence the proceedings after the Resolution Period. To the extent that the AAA Procedures and this Agreement are in conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator nominated by the AAA promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the submission of the Dispute to the AAA and reasonably acceptable to each party subject to the Dispute, which arbitrator shall be a commercial lawyer with substantial experience arbitrating disputes under acquisition agreements. The arbitrator shall accept his or her appointment and begin the arbitration process promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after his or her nomination and acceptance by the parties subject to the Dispute. The proceedings shall be streamlined and efficient. The arbitrator shall decide the Dispute in accordance with the substantive law of the state of New York. Time is of the essence. Each party subject to the Dispute shall submit a proposal for resolution of the Dispute to the arbitrator within twenty (20) days after confirmation of the appointment of the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the power to order any party to do, or to refrain from doing, anything consistent with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and applicable Law, including to perform its contractual obligation(s); provided, that the arbitrator shall be limited to ordering pursuant to the foregoing power (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall order) the relevant party (or parties, as applicable) to comply with only one or the other of the proposals. The arbitrator’s award shall be in writing and shall include a reasonable explanation of the arbitrator’s reason(s) for selecting one or the other proposal. The seat of arbitration shall be in New York County, State of New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English.

12.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

Subject to Section 12.5, each Party hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party hereto and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such Party at the applicable address set forth in Section 12.1. Nothing in this Section 12.6 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.
