Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

On December 10, 2020, Forum Merger III Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Forum”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with ELMS Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Forum (“Merger Sub”), Electric Last Mile, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ELMI”), and Jason Luo, in the capacity as the initial stockholder representative thereto, pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into ELMI (the “Merger”), with ELMI surviving the merger in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law as a wholly owned subsidiary of Forum (the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the related ancillary agreements, the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination is subject to certain closing conditions, including the Carveout Transaction, as defined below under “—Conditions to Closing.” Prior to the Carveout Transaction, ELMI will have limited operations.

Merger Consideration

The aggregate consideration payable to the stockholders of ELMI at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) is $1,300,000,000, payable solely in shares of Forum common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), valued at $10.00 per share, subject to the purchase price adjustments and deductions as set forth in the Merger Agreement less $292,000,000, the value of the 29,200,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for a new long-term equity incentive plan ($150,000,000 of which are restricted share units with vesting terms substantially similar to the Earnout Shares (as defined below)), less $2,500,000, the value of the Adjustment Escrow Stock (as defined below), and less $50,000,000, the value of the Earnout Shares (the “Closing Merger Consideration”).

In addition, an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares”) will be placed into escrow at Closing and will be payable to ELMI stockholders (the “ELMI Stockholders”) during the 36-month period following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”) as follows: (i) if the closing price of the Common Stock (the “Closing Price”) equals or exceeds $14.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-consecutive-day trading period, then 2,500,000 Earnout Shares will be released from escrow to the ELMI Stockholders, and (ii) if the Closing Price equals or exceeds $16.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-consecutive-day trading period, then the remaining 2,500,000 Earnout Shares will be released from escrow to the ELMI Stockholders. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, if a qualifying Change in Control (as defined in the Merger Agreement) occurs during the Earnout Period, all Earnout Shares not previously released will be released to the ELMI Stockholders. Any Earnout Shares not released prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period will be forfeited and cancelled.

Forum has agreed that, at the Closing, Forum will place 250,000 shares of Common Stock into an adjustment escrow account (the “Adjustment Escrow Stock”) to secure any downward post-closing purchase price adjustment. Following the date on which the Closing Merger Consideration is finally determined, all or a portion of those shares of Common Stock will either be released to the ELMI Stockholders or released to Forum in accordance with the adjustment mechanisms set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties thereto, including, among other things, covenants with respect to the conduct of Forum and ELMI during the period between execution of the Merger Agreement and the Closing. The representations, warranties and covenants made under the Merger Agreement will not survive the Closing; provided, any covenants that are to be performed at or after the Closing shall survive until such covenant has been performed or satisfied. No party to the Merger Agreement will have any liabilities to such other parties, other than claims for fraud. Each of Forum and ELMI has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable.

1

Conditions to Closing

The Closing is subject to the following contracts having been executed in form and substance acceptable to Forum, in its sole discretion: (i) a lease agreement between ELMI and SF Motors Inc.

Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of SERES’ majority stockholder, Chongqing Sokon Industry Group Stock Co. Ltd. (the foregoing collectively referred to as the “Carveout Transaction”).

In addition, the closing is subject to certain other conditions, including that (i) the ELMI Stockholders and the stockholders of Forum approve the Business Combination, (ii) The Nasdaq Stock Market approves for listing the Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination and (iii) Forum has, including any proceeds from Forum’s private investment in public equity financing and net of any redemptions, at least $125,000,000 unrestricted cash on hand at the Closing.

Termination

The Merger Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing under certain circumstances, including, among others, (i) by written consent of ELMI and Forum, (ii) by written notice from either Forum or ELMI, if the Closing has not occurred on or before June 30, 2021 (the “Outside Date”), unless the terminating party’s failure to comply with any material respect of its obligations under the Merger Agreement shall have proximately contributed to the failure of the Closing to have occurred on or prior to the Outside Date, (iii) by written notice from either Forum or ELMI, in the event that the other party breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements under the Merger Agreement in any material respect that would result in the failure of the conditions to Forum’s or ELMI’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination and such breach has not been cured by the earlier of 30 days after receiving notice of such breach and the Outside Date, (iv) by ELMI if at any time prior to the approval by Forum’s public stockholders, if the board of directors of Forum shall have effected a change in recommendation and (v) by Forum on or after January 31, 2020, if at such time the Carveout Transaction documents have not been executed in form and substance acceptable to Forum, in its sole discretion.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about Forum, ELMI or any other party to the Merger Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Merger Agreement. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and other terms of the Merger Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Forum’s public disclosures.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forum and ELMI’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Forum’s and ELMI’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination, the size, demands and growth potential of the markets for ELMI’s products and ELMI’s ability to serve those markets, ELMI’s ability to develop innovative products and compete with other companies engaged in the commercial delivery vehicle industry and/or the electric vehicle industry, ELMI’s ability to attract and retain customers, the estimated go to market timing and cost for ELMI’s products, the implied valuation of ELMI and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Forum’s and ELMI’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or could otherwise cause the Business Combination to fail to close; (2) the inability of ELMI to (x) execute the transaction agreements for the Carveout Transaction that are in form and substance acceptable to Forum (at Forum’s sole discretion), (y) acquire a leasehold interest or fee simple title to the Indiana manufacturing facility or (z) secure key intellectual property rights related to its proposed business; (3) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Forum or ELMI following the announcement of the Business Combination; (4) the inability to complete the Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Forum or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (5) the receipt of an unsolicited offer from another party for an alternative business transaction that could interfere with the Business Combination; (6) the inability to obtain the listing of the common stock of the post-acquisition company on the Nasdaq Stock Market or any alternative national securities exchange following the Business Combination; (7) the risk that the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations; (8) the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (9) costs related to the Business Combination; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the possibility that ELMI may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (12) the impact of COVID-19 on the combined company’s business; and (14) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement to be filed relating to the Business Combination, including those under the “Risk Factors” section therein, and in Forum’s other filings with the SEC. Some of these risks and uncertainties may in the future be amplified by the COVID-19 outbreak and there may be additional risks that Forum considers immaterial or which are unknown. Forum cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Forum cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. ELMI is currently engaged in limited operations only and its ability to carry out its business plans and strategies in the future are contingent upon the closing of the proposed Business Combination. The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to, among other conditions, (i) the execution and effectiveness of transaction agreements relating to the Carveout Transaction that are each in form and substance acceptable to Forum (at Forum’s sole discretion), (ii) the acquisition by ELMI of a leasehold interest or fee simple title to the Indiana manufacturing facility prior to the business combination, and (iii) the securing by ELMI of key intellectual property rights related to its proposed business. Forum does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

No Offer or Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Section 2.1 Conversion of Shares of Company Common Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or any holder of any capital stock of the Company, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall be converted into, and become exchangeable for (x) the number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Aggregate Consideration Value less the Earnout Share Value, less the Adjustment Escrow Amount, by (B) $10.00 (the “Reference Price”) by (C) the Fully Diluted Share Number (such number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, the “Stock Merger Consideration”), (y) the contingent right to receive its portion of the Earnout Shares (if any) after the Closing if payable subject to and in accordance with Section 2.10 (such rights, the “Earnout Share Rights”) and (z) the contingent right to receive its portion of the Adjustment Escrow Stock (if any) after the Closing if payable subject to and in accordance with Section 2.7 (such right, the “Adjustment Escrow Share Rights”, and together with the Earnout Share Rights and the Stock Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or any holder of any capital stock of the Company, all of the shares of Company Common Stock shall represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article II, shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate formerly representing any of the shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.4.

Section 2.2 Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and each certificate or book-entry account therefor shall continue to evidence an equivalent number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.3 PIPE Investment. At the Closing, the PIPE Investors and Parent shall consummate the PIPE Investment pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the applicable Subscription Agreements.

Section 2.4 Closing Date Statement and Merger Consideration Schedule. Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent:

(a) A statement (the “Closing Date Statement”), signed and certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company on its behalf, which sets forth a good faith estimate (with reasonable supporting detail) of (i) the Closing Date Cash (“Estimated Closing Date Cash”) and (ii) Closing Date Indebtedness (“Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness”). In addition, the Closing Date Statement shall also include (i) the Company’s calculation of the Stock Merger Consideration based on the foregoing estimates (and the other components contemplated by Section 2.1 in the calculation of the Stock Merger Consideration), (ii) a copy of the Company’s good faith estimated unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing upon which such calculations are based, and (iii) wire transfer or other applicable delivery instructions for payment of each item of Company Transaction Expenses to be paid at Closing. Each of the components required to be set forth on the Closing Date Statement shall be calculated in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement.

4

(b) A statement (the “Merger Consideration Schedule”), signed and certified by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company in his or her capacity as such, which sets forth: (i) a detailed capitalization schedule of the Company, setting forth all Company Common Stock; (ii) a schedule of the Convertible Note Holders, setting forth for each Convertible Note Holder the amount of principal and interest outstanding pursuant to their respective Convertible Note(s) on the Closing Date; (iii) the portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock; (iv) a calculation of the Convertible Note Adjustment Amount; and (v) for each Stockholder: (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such Stockholder (including the respective Certificate number of any certificated Company Common Stock held by such Stockholder), (B) the portion of the Stock Merger Consideration required to be paid under the Company Certificate to each Stockholder in respect of such Stockholder’s Company Common Stock, and (C) such Stockholder’s aggregate Per Share Amount. The calculations set forth in the Merger Consideration Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the Company Certificate, the Convertible Notes and the requirements of the DGCL. Parent shall be entitled to rely (without any duty of inquiry) upon the Merger Consideration Schedule, and a Company Letter of Transmittal shall be required to be delivered by each Stockholder as a condition to receipt of any Merger Consideration and shall include a waiver of, among other things, any and all claims (i) that the Merger Consideration Schedule did not accurately reflect the terms of the Company Certificate, and (ii) in connection with the issuance of any Company Common Stock (including any rights to indemnities from the Company or any of its Affiliates pursuant to any Contract entered into by such Stockholder in connection with such issuance).

(c) Parent shall be entitled to review and comment upon the Closing Date Statement and the Merger Consideration Schedule delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.4, and the Company shall consider Parent’s comments thereto in good faith (and, in the event of any such adjustments based on the comment of Parent, all references in this Agreement to the Closing Date Statement or the Merger Consideration Schedule shall be deemed to be references to such documents after giving effect to such adjustments).

Section 2.5 Merger Consideration. The aggregate consideration to be paid to the Stockholders shall be the Aggregate Consideration Value (as defined below), as calculated below. The Aggregate Consideration Value will be paid to the Stockholders in the form of the Stock Merger Consideration, the Earnout Share Rights and the Adjustment Escrow Share Rights. The Merger Consideration shall be allocated among the Stockholders in accordance with the terms of the Company Certificate (as reflected in the Merger Consideration Schedule). Subject to the post-Closing adjustments contemplated by and set forth in Section 2.7, the “Aggregate Consideration Value” shall be calculated as follows:

(a) $1,300,000,000.00, plus

(b) the amount of Estimated Closing Date Cash, plus

(c) the Pre-Paid Company Transaction Expense Amount, minus

(d) the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, minus

(e) the Convertible Note Adjustment Amount, minus

(f) the LTIP Value.

Section 2.6 Exchange Procedures.

(a) At the Closing, Parent shall deliver to (i) the Stockholders, at the reasonable direction of Stockholder Representative, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to make payment of the Stock Merger Consideration to the Stockholders (without giving effect to the Merger Consideration Adjustment) and (ii) the Escrow Agent, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to fund the Adjustment Escrow Amount and the Earnout Release.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall mail or otherwise deliver to each Stockholder (i) a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (“Company Letter of Transmittal”), and (ii) instructions for use in receiving the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Common Stock held by such Stockholder. After the Effective Time, each Stockholder, upon surrender of a Company Letter of Transmittal, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor such portion of the Merger Consideration into which such holder’s Company Common Stock (as applicable) shall have been converted as a result of the Merger (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without giving effect to any Merger Consideration Adjustment). If any Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock are certificated, such Stockholder shall be required to surrender and deliver to Parent all Certificates for such Company Common Stock, or a duly completed affidavit of loss (in a customary form reasonably acceptable to Parent) with respect to any lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, together with such Stockholder’s Company Letter of Transmittal, before such Stockholder shall be entitled to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.6(b). Pending such surrender of a Stockholder’s Certificate(s), such Certificate(s) shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence such Stockholder’s right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration into which such Company Common Stock shall have been converted as a result of the Transactions and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued (whether in book-entry form or otherwise) in exchange for Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Parent shall pay to each former holder of Parent Common Stock or Stockholder who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) determined by multiplying (i) the Reference Price, by (ii) the fraction of a share (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Parent Common Stock which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II. For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of any cash in lieu of fractional shares to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall be made with respect to the aggregate shares of Parent Common Stock, to which such former holder of Parent Common Stock or Stockholder would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and not with respect to the conversion of each share of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock, respectively. For illustrative purposes only, if, pursuant to this Agreement, a Stockholder would be entitled to 1.5 shares of Parent Common Stock in exchange for each share of Company Common Stock held by such Stockholder, and such Stockholder holds 11 shares of Company Common Stock, such Stockholder would be entitled to cash in lieu of .5 shares of Parent Common Stock (i.e., 16.5 minus 16).

(d) After the Effective Time, each remaining Stockholder and each record holder of outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat, and other similar Laws) as a general creditor thereof with respect to such shares and warrants and dividends and distributions thereon to which he, she, or it is entitled upon surrender of his, her, or its Certificates.

6

Section 2.7 Merger Consideration Adjustment.

(a) The Merger Consideration may be increased or reduced as set forth in this Section 2.7. Any increase or decrease in the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be referred to as a “Merger Consideration Adjustment”. Any payments made in respect of any Merger Consideration Adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes unless otherwise required by any applicable Law.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative (A) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Final Closing Balance Sheet”), and (B) a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s good faith calculations of (with reasonable supporting detail): (x) the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing on the Closing Date (“Closing Date Indebtedness”) and, (y) the aggregate Cash of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing on the Closing Date (“Closing Date Cash”), in each case, calculated in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement. The Final Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared using the Accounting Principles. From the Closing Date through the final determination and delivery of the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.7, Parent shall provide the Stockholder Representative and its representatives reasonable access (during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice and at the sole cost and expense of the Stockholder Representative) to the records, properties, personnel and (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested) auditors of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to the preparation of the Final Closing Balance Sheet and shall cause the personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries to reasonably cooperate with the Stockholder Representative in connection with its review of the Final Closing Balance Sheet; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to provide any information the disclosure of which would violate applicable Law (including competition or antitrust Law) or that would, based on the advice of counsel, result in the waiver of attorney client privilege. If Parent does not provide information pursuant to the proviso of the preceding sentence, Parent will provide notice to the Stockholder Representative that such information is being withheld and Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to communicate, to the extent feasible, the applicable information in a way that will not violate the applicable privilege or applicable Law.

7

(c) If the Stockholder Representative disagrees with the calculations of Closing Date Indebtedness and/or Closing Date Cash set forth in the Closing Statement, it shall notify Parent of such disagreement in writing (a “Disagreement Notice”), setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement. If the Stockholder Representative does not provide a notice of disagreement within such thirty (30)-day period, the Stockholder Representative and Parent shall be deemed to have agreed to the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculations of Closing Date Indebtedness and Closing Date Cash set forth in the Closing Statement, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. If any Disagreement Notice is timely provided, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculations of Closing Date Indebtedness or Closing Date Cash. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then any such remaining disagreements shall be resolved by Grant Thornton LLP or such other independent accounting or financial consulting firm of recognized national standing as may be mutually selected by Parent and the Stockholder Representative (such firm, subject to the following proviso, the “Accounting Referee”). Each of Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall promptly provide their respective assertions regarding Closing Date Indebtedness and Closing Date Cash and, to the extent relevant thereto, the Final Closing Balance Sheet in writing to the Accounting Referee and to each other; provided, that no Party shall disclose to the Accounting Referee any settlement discussions (or the contents thereof) between the Parties without the prior consent of the other Party. The Accounting Referee shall be instructed to render its determination with respect to such disagreements as soon as reasonably possible (which the Parties agree should not be later than thirty (30) days following the day on which the disagreement is referred to the Accounting Referee). The Accounting Referee shall base its determination solely on (i) the written submissions of the Parties and shall not conduct an independent investigation and (ii) the extent (if any) to which Closing Date Indebtedness or Closing Date Cash require adjustment (only with respect to the remaining disagreements submitted to the Accounting Referee) in order to be determined in accordance with Section 2.7 (including the definitions of the defined terms used in Section 2.7), and the Parties shall instruct the Accounting Referee to make all determinations in accordance with the definitions set forth in this Agreement. The Accounting Referee may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for a disputed item claimed by either Party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. The determination of the Accounting Referee shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The date on which Closing Date Indebtedness and Closing Date Cash are finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.7(c) is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.” All fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Accounting Referee hereunder shall be borne pro rata as between Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, in proportion to the allocation of the dollar value of the amounts in dispute as between Parent and the Stockholder Representative (as set forth in the written submissions to the Accounting Referee) made by the Accounting Referee such that the Party prevailing on the greater dollar value of such disputes pays the lesser proportion of the fees and expenses. For example, if the Stockholder Representative challenges items underlying the calculations of Closing Date Indebtedness and Closing Date Cash in the net amount of $1,000,000, and the Accounting Referee determines that Parent has a valid claim for $400,000 of the $1,000,000, Parent shall bear sixty percent (60%) of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee and the Stockholder Representative shall bear the remaining forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee.

(d) The “Adjustment Amount,” which may be positive or negative, shall mean (i) Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, minus Closing Date Indebtedness (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.7(c)), plus (ii) Closing Date Cash (as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.7(c)), minus Estimated Closing Date Cash. If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then the Merger Consideration shall be increased by the Adjustment Amount, and if the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then the Merger Consideration shall be decreased by the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount. The Adjustment Amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.7(e) or Section 2.7(f), as applicable.

8

(e) If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the delivery by the Stockholder Representative of the updated Merger Consideration Schedule required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.7(g), (i) Parent shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative for further delivery to each Stockholder a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (A) the Adjustment Amount, divided by (B) the Reference Price, and (ii) the Parties shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release from the Escrow Account to the Stockholder Representative (for further delivery to each Stockholder) all of the shares of Adjustment Escrow Stock; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent be required pursuant to subclause (i) to issue or deliver an amount of Parent Common Stock that exceeds the quotient of the Adjustment Escrow Amount divided by the Reference Price.

(f) If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number (the absolute value of such amount, the “Deficit Amount”), then, promptly following the Determination Date, and in any event within three (3) Business Days of the Determination Date, the Parties shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to deliver, from the Escrow Account to Parent that number of shares of Adjustment Escrow Stock that is equal to (A) the Deficit Amount divided by (B) the Reference Price. If, after release of the Adjustment Escrow Stock to Parent in accordance with the preceding sentence, any Adjustment Escrow Stock remains in the Escrow Account, the Parties shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release such balance to the Stockholder Representative (for further delivery to each Stockholder). The Adjustment Escrow Stock in the Escrow Account shall be Parent’s sole recourse for any Deficit Amount.

(g) If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then within three (3) Business Days after the Determination Date, the Stockholder Representative shall prepare and deliver to Parent a certified update to the Merger Consideration Schedule, prepared in accordance with the terms of the Company Certificate (the “Updated Merger Consideration Schedule”). The Updated Merger Consideration Schedule shall give effect to the Merger Consideration Adjustment, the Adjustment Amount and specify in detail the portion of any such additional Parent Common Stock or released Adjustment Escrow Stock that each Stockholder is entitled to receive as a result. The Stockholder Representative, Parent and each of their respective agents and Affiliates shall be entitled to rely (without any duty of inquiry) upon the Updated Merger Consideration Schedule.

Section 2.8 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Closing, the Parent Board, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretive guidance of the SEC so that the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock by the Parent pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to any officer, director or stockholder (by reason of “director by deputization”) of the Company or Parent who is expected to become a “covered person” of Parent for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (“Section 16”) shall be an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16.

Section 2.9 Tax Consequences of the Merger. It is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement be, and hereby is, adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury Regulations (the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

9

Section 2.10 Earnout.

(a) After the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Stockholders shall have the contingent right to receive additional consideration from Parent based on the performance of Parent and its Subsidiaries if the requirements as set forth in this Section 2.10 are achieved. If during the thirty-six (36) month period following the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”), the closing price per share of Parent Common Stock on any twenty (20) trading days in any thirty (30) consecutive day trading period (i) equals or exceeds Fourteen Dollars ($14.00) (the “First Share Price Trigger”), or (ii) equals or exceeds Sixteen Dollars ($16.00) (the “Second Share Price Trigger” and, together with the First Share Price Trigger, each a “Share Price Trigger” and collectively, the “Share Price Triggers”) then, for each Share Price Trigger that is achieved, the holders of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall receive additional consideration (in accordance with their Pro Rata Share) from Parent (each, an “Earnout Release”) of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand (2,500,000) shares of Parent Common Stock released from the Escrow Account (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like that occur after the Closing and prior to the relevant Earnout Release) (collectively, the “Earnout Shares”). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the holders of Company Common Stock shall have the right to receive no more than two Earnout Releases, an Earnout Release may only be achieved once with respect to any Share Price Trigger and the aggregate sum of all Earnout Releases issuable hereunder (assuming both Share Price Triggers are achieved), shall be a maximum of Five Million (5,000,000) shares of Parent Common Stock in the aggregate (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like that occur after the Closing and prior to the relevant Earnout Release).

Upon such Change of Control if applicable, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account to Stockholder Representative a number of shares equal to such remaining Earnout Release(s) within ten (10) Business Days following the date of such Change of Control.

(c) If, during the Earnout Period, there is a Final Determination in accordance with this Section 2.10 that the Stockholders are entitled to receive a Earnout Release, then Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account to Stockholder Representative a number of shares equal to such Earnout Release within ten (10) Business Days following the date on which the applicable Share Price Trigger was met or exceeded.

(d) With respect to any Earnout Shares that have not been released during the Earnout Period pursuant to this Section 2.10 within five (5) Business Days following the date that it is finally determined that the Stockholders are not entitled to or eligible to receive any further Earnout Releases under this Agreement, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account to Parent for immediate cancellation all such Earnout Shares that have not been released.

Section 3.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company (a) is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (b) has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted; and (c) is qualified to do business and, to the extent such concept is applicable, is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other legal entity in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except in the case of clause (b) and (c) where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority, could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made available to Parent prior to the Execution Date complete and correct copies of the Company’s Organizational Documents and each as so delivered is in full force and effect.

Section 3.2 Capital Structure.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 200,000 shares of Company Common Stock, of which 100,000 shares were issued and outstanding, and no shares of Company Common Stock were issued and held by the Company in its treasury.

(b) All of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to any preemptive rights, anti-dilution, down-valuation or similar rights. The Company does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations, the holders of which have the right to vote (or convert into or exercise for securities having the right to vote) with the stockholders of the Company on any matter. Except for this Agreement and the Company’s Organizational Documents, the Company Common Stock is not subject to any voting trust agreements, proxies, or other Contracts with respect to the voting, purchase, repurchase, dividend rights, disposition or transfer of the shares of Company Common Stock.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and the consummation of the Transactions will not, conflict with, or result in any breach or violation of or default (with or without notice, lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to any right of termination, loss of rights, adverse modification of provisions, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation under, or result in the creation of a Lien (except for any Permitted Lien) on any of the assets of the Company under any provision of (i) the Organizational Documents of the Company; (ii) any Contract; or (iii) assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and consummation of the Transactions) compliance with the matters referred to in Section 3.4(a) any Laws to which the Company is subject, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for any breach, violation, default, termination, loss, adverse modification, cancellation, acceleration or creation that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which they are a party do not, and the consummation of the Transactions will not, conflict with, or result in any breach or violation of, or default (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) under, or give rise to any right of termination, loss of rights, adverse modification of provisions, cancellation or acceleration of any obligations under, or result in the creation of a Lien on any of the assets of Parent or Merger Sub under any provision of (i) their respective Organizational Documents; (ii) any Contract binding upon Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective properties or assets; or (iii) assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and consummation of the Transactions) compliance with the matters referred to in Section 4.4(a), any Law to which Parent or Merger Sub is subject, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for any such breach, violation, default, termination, loss, adverse modification, cancellation, acceleration or creation that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Each of the Parent Reports, at the time of its filing and, if amended, as of the date of the most recent amendment, complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder applicable to the Parent Reports.

As of their respective dates of filing (and, if amended, as of the date of filing such amendment), no Parent Report contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date hereof, there are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received from the SEC with respect to the Parent Reports.

Except as permitted by the Exchange Act, including Sections 13(k)(2) and 13(k)(3) thereunder, or the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, Parent has not taken any action prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

(c) Except as not required in reliance on exemptions from various reporting requirements by virtue of Parent’s status as an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in paragraph (e) of Rule 13a-15 and paragraph (e) of Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Parent’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that all information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by Parent in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to Parent’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

(d) Each of the consolidated balance sheets included in or incorporated by reference into the Parent Reports (including the related notes and schedules) fairly presents the consolidated financial position of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of its date and each of the consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows included in or incorporated by reference into the Parent Reports (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, cash flows, retained earnings (loss) and changes in financial position, as applicable, of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the periods set forth therein (subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments that will not be material in amount or effect), in each case prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except as may be noted therein or in the notes thereto and comply in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements and with the rules and regulations of the SEC, the Exchange Act and the Securities Act in effect as of the respective dates thereof.

(e) Parent has established and maintained a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15, as applicable, under the Exchange Act) as required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

(f) (i)  To the Knowledge of Parent, the Parent has not identified or been made aware of any significant deficiency or material weakness in the design or operation of internal controls that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect Parent’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information for inclusion in the applicable financial statements; and (ii) since the date of Parent’s formation, to the Knowledge of Parent, the Parent has not identified or been made aware of any fraud, whether or not material, that involves the management or other employees of Parent who have a significant role in Parent’s internal control over financial reporting.

38

Section 4.7 Litigation and Liabilities.

(a) There are no Actions pending, threatened in writing, or, to the Knowledge of Parent, otherwise threatened, against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (and no Governmental Entity has notified Parent of its intention to initiate an Action), except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent to consummate the Transactions.

(b) Since its date of incorporation, neither Parent nor Merger Sub has carried on any business or conducted any operations other than: (i) directed towards the accomplishment of a business combination; and (ii) the execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and matters ancillary thereto. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any obligations or liabilities (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, unknown or otherwise), other than liabilities that (i) have been adequately reserved against or reflected in the financial statements included in or incorporated by reference into the Parent Reports (including the related notes and schedules); (ii) were incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and which are not material; or (iii) have been incurred as expressly required by this Agreement. Parent is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any Order that restricts the manner in which Parent conducts its business except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent to consummate the Transactions.

Section 4.8 Parent Trust Account. As of the Execution Date, Parent has no less than $250,000,000 in the account established by Parent for the benefit of its stockholders at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Parent Trust Account”), such monies being invested in U.S. Government treasury bills or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and held in trust pursuant to that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of August 18, 2020, between Parent and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the “Parent Trust Agreement”). The Parent Trust Agreement is valid and in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception, and has not been amended or modified. Parent has complied in all material respects with the terms of the Parent Trust Agreement and is not in breach thereof or default thereunder and there does not exist under the Parent Trust Agreement any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default by Parent or the trustee under the Parent Trust Agreement (the “Trustee”). There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other arrangements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the Parent Trust Agreement in the Parent Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect or that would entitle any Person (other than pursuant to a Parent Share Redemption or with respect to the Deferred Discount (as defined in the Parent Trust Agreement)) to any portion of the proceeds in the Parent Trust Account. There are no proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened with respect to the Parent Trust Account. Upon the consummation of the Merger and notice thereof to the Trustee pursuant to the Parent Trust Agreement, Parent shall cause the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall thereupon be obligated to, release to Parent as promptly as practicable, the funds in the Parent Trust Account in accordance with the Parent Trust Agreement at which point the Parent Trust Account shall terminate; provided, however, that the liabilities and obligations of Parent due and owing or incurred at or prior to the Effective Time shall be paid as and when due, including all amounts payable: (a) to stockholders of Parent who shall have exercised applicable redemption rights; (b) with respect to filings, applications and/or other actions taken pursuant to this Agreement required under Law; and (c) to the Trustee for fees and costs incurred in accordance with the Parent Trust Agreement. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company herein and the compliance by the Company with its respective obligations hereunder, the conditions to the use of funds in the Parent Trust Account will be satisfied and the funds available in the Parent Trust Account will be available to Parent at the Effective Time.

As of the Execution Date, each Subscription Agreement (a) is in full force and effect without amendment or modification; (b) is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Parent or its applicable Affiliate and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each other party thereto (except, in any case, as may be limited by Bankruptcy and Equity Exception); and (c) have not been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect. There are no other Contracts between Parent and any PIPE Investor relating to any Subscription Agreement, that would reasonably be expected to affect the obligations of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment set forth in the Subscription Agreements, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, no facts or circumstances exist that may reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in any Subscription Agreement not being satisfied, or the PIPE Investment not being available to Parent, on the Closing Date. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent, or to the Knowledge of Parent, on the part of any PIPE Investor, under any material term or condition of any Subscription Agreement, and, as of the Execution Date, Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy in all material respects, on a timely basis, any term or condition of Closing to be satisfied by it contained in any Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreements contain all of the conditions precedent (other than the conditions contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents) to the obligations of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment set forth in the Subscription Agreements on the terms therein.

Section 4.10 [RESERVED].

Section 4.12 Brokers and Finders. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective directors or employees (including any officers), as applicable, has employed any investment banker, broker or finder or has incurred or will incur any obligation or liability for any brokerage fees, commissions or finders fees or other similar payments in connection with the Transactions.

Any such Taxes or Tax liabilities of Parent and Merger Sub that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period that are not yet due and payable (i) for periods covered by the financial statements included in the Parent Report have been properly accrued and adequately disclosed on such financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) for periods not covered by such financial statements have been properly accrued on the books and records of Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with GAAP. All material Taxes that Parent and Merger Sub are (or were) required by Law to withhold or collect in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder, member or other Person have been duly withheld or collected, and have been timely paid over to the proper authorities to the extent due and payable. As of the Execution Date, there are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent or Merger Sub, threatened in writing, audits, examinations, investigations or other proceedings in respect of material Taxes or Tax matters of Parent or Merger Sub. To the Knowledge of Parent or Merger Sub, there are no unresolved questions or claims concerning the Parent’s or Merger Sub’s Tax liability that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is a party to or bound by any Tax Sharing Agreement. Parent and Merger Sub (A) have not been a member of an affiliated group filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return for which the statute of limitations is open (other than a group the common parent of which was Parent); and (B) do not have any liability for the Taxes of any person under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise.

Parent and Merger Sub have not participated in a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.6011-4(b)(1). At no time during the past five years has Parent or Merger Sub been a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code.

41

Section 4.15 Material Contracts. Except for those Contracts filed (or incorporated by reference) as exhibits to the Parent Reports and except for the documents to be executed by Parent in connection with the PIPE Investment and the other Transactions, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is party to any Contract that would be required to be filed (or incorporated by reference) as an exhibit to Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.

(a) Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Parent Trust Account may be used or released except (i) for the withdrawal of interest to pay any Tax obligation owed by Parent as a result of assets owned by Parent, including franchise Taxes prior to the Closing; and (ii) to effectuate the Parent Share Redemption. Following the Closing, and upon notice to the trustee of the Parent Trust Account (the “Parent Trustee”) and the satisfaction of the requirements for release set forth in the Parent Trust Agreement, the Parent Trustee shall be obligated to release as promptly as practicable any and all amounts still due to holders of shares of Parent Common Stock who have exercised their redemption rights with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock, and, thereafter, release the remaining funds in the Parent Trust Account to Parent to be reflected on Parent’s consolidated balance sheet and the Parent Trust Account shall thereafter be terminated.

(b) Trust Account Waiver. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) Parent is a blank check company with the power and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or assets; and (ii) Parent’s sole assets consist of the cash proceeds of Parent’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Parent Trust Account for the benefit of Parent’s public stockholders until the Closing. For and in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Company on behalf of itself and any of its managers, directors, officers, affiliates, members, stockholders and trustees, hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they have or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Parent Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Parent Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as a result of, or arising out of, any claims against Parent arising under this Agreement (it being agreed that such waiver shall automatically terminate without further action by any party hereto at the Closing and shall not apply following the Closing to the Parent Trust Account funds that are released from the Parent Trust Account to Parent pursuant to Section 5.3(a)).

(c) Parent Share Redemption. At the Closing, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Parent Trustee to pay as and when due all amounts payable to stockholders of Parent holding shares of the Parent Common Stock sold in Parent’s initial public offering who shall have validly elected to redeem their shares of Parent Common Stock (and who have not rescinded such election) pursuant to Parent’s Organizational Documents and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Parent Trustee to pay, as and when due, the Deferred Discount (as defined in the Parent Trust Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Parent Trust Agreement.

Section 5.4 [RESERVED]

Section 5.5 Proxy Filing; Information Supplied.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement. Each of Parent and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the Proxy Statement to comply in all material respects with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC; and (ii) promptly notify the other of, cooperate with each other with respect to and respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff.

49

(b) After all the comments received from the SEC have been cleared by the SEC staff and all information required to be contained in the Proxy Statement has been included therein by Parent and the Company, Parent shall file the Proxy Statement in definitive form with the SEC in accordance with the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act and mail the Proxy Statement to holders of record of Parent Common Stock, as of the record date to be established by the board of directors of Parent. Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning such Party and its Affiliates to the other Party, and provide such other assistance, as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement, and the Proxy Statement shall include all information reasonably requested by such other Party to be included therein. The Parent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt of all comments (written or oral) from the SEC and of any request (written or oral) by the SEC for any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and shall promptly provide to the Company copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives and the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement. Prior to responding to any comments or requests from the SEC, Parent will make available to the Company drafts of any such response and provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts (including the proposed final version of such document or response); provided, that Company shall be required to provide any comments on such drafts reasonably promptly (but in no event later than the end of the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the Company’s receipt thereof).

(c) Each of Parent and the Company will provide its respective legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on drafts of the Proxy Statement and other documents related to the Parent Special Meeting or the Parent Stockholder Proposals, prior to filing such documents with the applicable Governmental Entity and mailing such documents to the stockholders of Parent. Each Party will include in the Proxy Statement and such other documents related to Parent Special Meeting all comments reasonably and promptly proposed by the other Party or its legal counsel and each agrees that all information relating to Parent and Merger Sub included in the Proxy Statement shall be in form and content satisfactory to Parent, acting reasonably, and all information relating to the Company included in the Proxy Statement shall be in form and content satisfactory to the Company, acting reasonably.

(d) Each of Parent and the Company shall ensure that none of the information supplied by or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, as of the date the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) is first mailed to the Parent Stockholders, at the time of the Parent Special Meeting, or at the Effective Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the Parent Special Meeting there shall be discovered any information that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Parent shall promptly transmit to its stockholders an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement containing such information. If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, the Company discovers any information, event or circumstance relating to the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors or employees that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Company shall promptly inform Parent of such information, event or circumstance and shall promptly provide all information required for Parent to transmit to the holders of its capital stock an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement containing such information.

50

(e) The Company shall provide Parent, as promptly as reasonably practicable, with all information (including applicable financial statements prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X of the SEC to the extent required by applicable SEC rules and regulations) concerning the Company, its Subsidiaries and the ECV Operations as required by the SEC or as reasonably requested by Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement (if any). The Company shall cause the officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to be reasonably available to Parent and its counsel in connection with the drafting of the Proxy Statement and responding in a timely manner to comments on the Proxy Statement from the SEC.

Section 5.6 Parent Meeting. Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to take, in accordance with applicable Law, NASDAQ rules and its Organizational Documents, all action necessary to convene the Parent Special Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable after the SEC advises it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement (the “SEC Clearance Date”) (and will commence the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Parent Stockholders as promptly as practicable after the SEC Clearance Date and schedule such meeting for a date that is no more than thirty-five (35) days after the Proxy Statement is mailed), to (i) consider and vote upon the approval of the Parent Stockholder Proposals and to cause such vote to be taken; and (ii) provide Parent Stockholders with the opportunity to elect to effect a Parent Share Redemption. Parent may only elect to postpone or adjourn such meeting on one or more occasions if (x) a postponement or adjournment is required by Law, (y) as of the time for which the Parent Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Parent Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) and voting to approve the Parent Stockholder Proposals or to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Parent Special Meeting or (z) Parent determines the payments for the Parent Share Redemption could reasonably be expected to cause the conditions in Section 6.1(d) to not be satisfied at the Closing; provided, that in the event of a postponement or adjournment pursuant to clauses (x) or (y) above, the Parent Special Meeting shall be reconvened as promptly as practicable following such time as the matters described in the applicable clause have been resolved. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies as promptly as possible in favor of the Parent Stockholder Proposals and shall include in the Proxy Statement the Parent Board Recommendation; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to compliance by Parent, its Affiliates and their Representatives with Section 5.15(b), at any time prior to obtaining approval of the Parent Stockholder Proposals, the Parent Board may fail to make, amend, change, withdraw, modify, withhold or qualify the Parent Board Recommendation (any such action, a “Change in Recommendation”) if the Parent Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, and without any violation by Parent, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives of Section 5.15(b), that a failure to make a Change in Recommendation would violate its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and following such Change in Recommendation the obligation to solicit proxies in favor of the Parent Stockholder Proposals shall terminate; provided, however, that the Parent Board may not make such Change in Recommendation unless (1) the Parent Board has provided prior written notice to the Company (a “Parent Recommendation Change Notice”) that it is prepared to effect a Change in Recommendation at least ten (10) Business Days prior to taking such action, which notice shall specify the basis for such Change in Recommendation, (2) during the five (5) Business Day period after delivery of the Parent Recommendation Change Notice, the Company may propose to Parent any revisions to this Agreement that the Company proposes to make and Parent will engage in good faith discussions with the Company regarding such proposal(s), (3) at the end of such five (5) Business Day period and taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement committed to in writing by the Company, the Parent Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that the failure to make such a Change in Recommendation would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to Parent Stockholders under applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, a Change in Recommendation will not affect Parent’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.6 (other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) or elsewhere in this Agreement.

51

Section 5.7 Approval of Sole Stockholder of Merger Sub. Immediately following approval of the Parent Stockholder Proposals, Parent shall execute and deliver, in accordance with applicable Law and its Organizational Documents, in its capacity as sole stockholder of Merger Sub, a written consent adopting the plan of merger contained in this Agreement.

Section 5.8 Required Stockholder Approval. In accordance with applicable Laws, and the Company’s Organizational Documents, promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall seek and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain (a) as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours following the execution of this Agreement (the “Stockholder Support Delivery Period”), the Initial Stockholder Consent; and (b) as promptly as practicable, Support Agreements from Stockholders holding 100% of the Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Execution Date, in each case, in lieu of a meeting pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL for the purposes of (i) adopting this Agreement and approving the Merger; (ii) acknowledging that the adoption and approvals are irrevocable and result in the waiver of any right of such stockholders to demand appraisal in connection with the Merger pursuant to Delaware Law; and (iii) such other matters set forth therein. As promptly as practicable and, in any event, prior to the expiration of the Stockholder Support Delivery Period, if the Initial Stockholder Consent is obtained, the Company shall deliver to Parent a copy thereof (including by facsimile or other electronic image scan transmission), certified as correct and complete by an executive officer of the Company.

Section 5.9 Information Statement. If applicable, promptly, and in any case at the same time as any Support Agreement is solicited from any Stockholder (other than the Initial Stockholder Consents), the Company shall prepare (with the cooperation of Parent) and mail to each Stockholder an information statement regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Information Statement”). If applicable, the Information Statement shall constitute an information statement for the Company’s solicitation of consent of the Stockholders with respect to the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger and shall include (a) a statement to the effect that the Company’s board of directors had unanimously recommended that the Stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger; and (b) such other information as Parent and the Company reasonably agree is required or advisable under applicable Law to be included therein. The Company shall, with the cooperation of Parent (to the extent reasonably required), prepare any other necessary documentation required or advisable to be provided to Stockholders pursuant to the DGCL. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Parent or the Company for inclusion in the Information Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto will contain, as of the date of the delivery of such document, any untrue statement of a material fact, or will omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(c) The Stockholder Representative will not be liable to the Stockholders for any act taken or omitted by it as permitted under this Agreement and the Transactions, except if such act is taken or omitted in bad faith or by willful misconduct.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, the Stockholder is the record holder and the beneficial (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, which meaning shall apply for all purposes of this Agreement whenever the term “beneficial” or “beneficially” is used) owner of, and has full voting power over, the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of the Company set forth on the Stockholder’s signature page hereto;

WHEREAS, the Stockholder acknowledges that, as a condition and material inducement to Parent and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that (i) certain stockholders specified in the Merger Agreement, promptly after the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours and (ii) prior to the Closing, the holders of 100% of the issued and outstanding Shares enter into Support Agreements, including written consents in the form attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Written Consent”), and, in order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder is willing to enter into this Agreement;

WHEREAS, Parent desires that the Stockholder agree, and the Stockholder is willing to agree, subject to the limitations herein, not to Transfer (as defined below) any of its Shares, and to enter into the Written Consent and otherwise vote its Shares in a manner so as to facilitate consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and to undertake certain additional obligations pursuant to this Agreement;

WHEREAS, Parent and the Stockholder desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

Article 1

VOTING AND TRANSFER OF SHARES

Section 1.01. Voting.

(a)  The Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the Expiration Date (the “Applicable Period”), at each meeting of the stockholders of the Company (a “Meeting”) and at each adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with each action or approval by consent in writing of the stockholders of the Company (a “Consent Solicitation”), to cause to be present in person or represented by proxy and to vote or cause to be voted (or express consent or dissent in writing, as applicable) that number of Shares set forth on the Stockholder’s signature page hereto and any additional Shares that are hereafter held of record or beneficially owned by the Stockholder (collectively, the “Subject Shares”) that are entitled to vote (or express consent or dissent in writing, as applicable), in each case as follows:

(i)  in favor of any proposal for stockholders of the Company to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve any other matters necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger;

(ii)  in favor of any proposal to adjourn a Meeting at which there is a proposal for stockholders of the Company to adopt the Merger Agreement to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement or if there are not sufficient Shares present in person or represented by proxy at such Meeting to constitute a quorum;

(iii)  against any proposal providing for an Alternative Transaction or the adoption of an agreement to enter into an Alternative Transaction;

C-2

(iv)  against any proposal for any amendment or modification of the Company’s Organizational Documents that would change the voting rights of any Shares or the number of votes required to approval any proposal, including the vote required to adopt the Merger Agreement; and

(v)  against any action, transaction or agreement that (A) would result in a breach of any representation or warranty or covenant of the Company under the Merger Agreement; (B) would reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or impair consummation of the Transactions in any material respect; or (C) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VI of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled.

(b)  Any vote required to be cast or consent or dissent in writing required to be expressed pursuant to this Section 1.01 shall be cast or expressed in accordance with the applicable procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present (if applicable) and for purposes of recording the results of that vote or Consent Solicitation. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein requires the Stockholder (or entitles any proxy of the Stockholder) to convert, exercise or exchange any options, warrants or convertible securities in order to obtain any underlying Shares.

(c)  The Stockholder agrees not to enter into any commitment, agreement, understanding or similar arrangement with any Person to vote or give voting instructions or express consent or dissent in writing in any manner inconsistent with the terms of this Section 1.01.

Section 1.02. No Transfers. During the Applicable Period, the Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly: (a) sell, convey, assign, transfer (including by succession or otherwise by operation of Law), exchange, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or dispose of any Subject Shares (or any right, title or interest therein) or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company; (b) deposit any Subject Shares or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or any other arrangement with respect to any Subject Shares or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company or grant or purport to grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto; (c) enter into any contract, option, call or other arrangement or undertaking, whether or not in writing, with respect to the sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer (including by succession or otherwise by operation of Law), exchange, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance or disposition, or limitation on the voting rights, of any Subject Shares (or any right, title or interest therein) or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company; (d) otherwise grant, permit or suffer the creation of any Liens on any Subject Shares (other than applicable restrictions on transfer under U.S. state or federal securities or “blue sky” Laws) or (e) commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any action described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), a “Transfer”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Transfers (i) between the Stockholder and any Affiliate of the Stockholder, (ii) to a trust for the benefit of the Stockholder or to any member of a Stockholder’s immediate family or a trust for the benefit of such immediate family member or (iii) by will, other testamentary document or under the laws of intestacy upon the death of Stockholder, in each case, so long as, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of any such Transfer, such Affiliate or transferee executes and delivers to Parent a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex C. Any Transfer or action in violation of this Section 1.02 shall be void ab initio. If any involuntary Transfer of any of Subject Shares occurs, the transferee (and all transferees and subsequent transferees of such transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect during the Applicable Period. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.02 shall prevent entry into or performance of any obligations pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.

C-3

Section 1.03. Stop Transfer. The Stockholder shall not request that the Company register any transfer of any Certificate or other uncertificated interest representing any Subject Shares made in violation of the restrictions set forth in Section 1.02 during the Applicable Period.

Section 1.05. Public Announcements; Filings; Disclosures.

(a)  The Stockholder (and the Stockholder’s controlled Affiliates) shall not issue any press release or make any other public announcement or public statement (a “Public Communication”) with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may be withheld in Parent’s sole discretion), except (i) as required by applicable Law or court process, in which case the Stockholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide Parent and Parent’s legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Public Communication in advance of its issuance and shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments or (ii) with respect to a Public Communication that is consistent with prior disclosures by Parent; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any disclosure required to be made by the Stockholder to a Governmental Entity so long as such disclosure is consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and the disclosures made by the Company and Parent pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.05(a), if the Stockholder is a director or officer of the Company, in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, he or she may make public statements in such capacity to the extent permitted under the Merger Agreement.

(b)  The Stockholder hereby consents to and authorizes the Company and Parent to publish and disclose in any Public Communication or in any disclosure required by the SEC and in the proxy statement prepared by Parent and filed with the SEC relating to the Parent Special Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”) the Stockholder’s identity and ownership of Subject Shares and the Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement (the “Stockholder Information”), consents to the filing of this Agreement to the extent required by applicable Law to be filed with the SEC or any regulatory authority relating to the Merger, and agrees to cooperate with Parent in connection with such filings, including providing Stockholder Information reasonably requested by Parent. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide the Stockholder with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any Stockholder Information included in such disclosure in advance of its filing. As promptly as practicable, the Stockholder shall notify Parent of any required corrections with respect to any Stockholder Information supplied by the Stockholder, if and to the extent the Stockholder becomes aware that any such Stockholder Information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.

C-4

Section 1.06. Non-Solicitation.

(a)  The Stockholder acknowledges that the Stockholder has read Section 5.15(a) (Exclusivity) of the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Stockholder, solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company, agrees not to, directly or indirectly, take any action that would violate Section 5.15(a) of the Merger Agreement if such Stockholder were deemed a “Representative” of the Company for purposes of Section 5.15(a) of the Merger Agreement; provided, that the foregoing shall not serve to limit or restrict any actions taken by such Stockholder in any capacity other than as a stockholder of the Company, to the extent such actions are in compliance with or required under Section 5.15(a) of the Merger Agreement.

(b)  Notwithstanding Section 1.06(a), the Stockholder may participate in discussions and negotiations with any Person making a proposal relating to an Alternative Transaction (or its Representatives) with respect to such proposal if (i) the Company is engaging in discussions or negotiations with such Person in compliance with Section 5.15(a) of the Merger Agreement and (ii) such Stockholder’s negotiations and discussions are in conjunction with and ancillary to the Company’s discussions and negotiations.

Section 1.07. No Agreement as Director or Officer. The Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as record or beneficial owner of Subject Shares and nothing herein is intended to or shall limit or affect any actions taken by the Stockholder or any employee, officer, director (or person performing similar functions), partner or other Affiliate (including, for this purpose, any appointee or representative of the Stockholder to the board of directors of the Company) of the Stockholder, solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company (or a Subsidiary of the Company) or other fiduciary capacity for the Company’s stockholders.

Section 1.08. Acquisition of Additional Shares. The Stockholder shall promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) notify Parent of the number of any additional Shares with respect to which the Stockholder becomes the holder of record or acquires beneficial ownership, if any, after the execution of this Agreement and before the Expiration Date, which Shares shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically become Subject Shares in accordance with Section 1.01.

C-5

Section 1.09. No Litigation. The Stockholder hereby agrees not to commence, maintain or participate in, or facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, suit, proceeding or cause of action, in law or in equity, in any court or before any Governmental Entity (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the consummation of the Merger), (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, or (c) seeking Appraisal Rights in connection with the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Stockholder from enforcing the Stockholder’s rights under this Agreement or the Stockholder’s right to receive the Merger Consideration or any cash in lieu of fractional shares to which it may be entitled pursuant to the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 1.10. Further Assurances.

(a) Registration Requirements. The Company shall, not later than thirty (30) days after the Closing, prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-1, or Form S-3 if such registration statement form is available to the Company, and take all such other actions as are necessary to ensure that there is an effective “shelf” registration statement containing a prospectus that remains current covering (and to qualify under required U.S. state securities laws, if any) the offer and sale of all Registrable Securities by the Holders on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act (the registration statement, the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Commission to declare the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective as soon as possible thereafter, but in any event within three (3) days after the Commission advises the Company that it has completed its review of such registration statement, and to remain effective and the prospectus contained therein current until all Holders cease to hold Registrable Securities. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for any method or combination of methods of resale of Registrable Securities legally available to, and requested by, the Holders, and shall comply with the relevant provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act.

(b) Request for Underwritten Takedowns. The Holders that qualify as Initiating Holders will be entitled to Underwritten Takedowns with respect to their Registrable Securities in accordance with this Section 2.1. If the Company shall receive from any Initiating Holder a written request signed by such Initiating Holder that the Company effect any Underwritten Takedown with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities (such request shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be disposed of by such Initiating Holder), the Company will:

(i) promptly, and in any event, within five (5) days after receiving such request, give written notice of the proposed Underwritten Takedown to all other Qualified Holders; and

(ii) as soon as practicable, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Commission to declare such Underwritten Takedown effective within ninety (90) days thereafter (including, without limitation, filing post-effective amendments, one or more prospectus supplements, appropriate qualifications under any applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, and appropriate compliance with the Securities Act) and to permit and facilitate the sale and distribution in an underwritten offering of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within ten (10) days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered.

(c) Limitations on Underwritten Takedowns. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Underwritten Takedown pursuant to this Section 2.1:

(i) If the Initiating Holder, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Underwritten Takedown, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any), the aggregate proceeds of which are anticipated to be less than $20,000,000;

D-7

(ii) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification, or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

(iii) If the Company has effected two (2) such Underwritten Takedowns in any given twelve (12) month period;

(iv) If the Initiating Holder proposes to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 pursuant to the request made pursuant to Section 2.2;

(v) If the Initiating Holder does not request that such offering be firmly underwritten by underwriters selected by the Initiating Holder (subject to the consent of the Company); or

(vi) If the Company and the Initiating Holder are unable to obtain the commitment of the underwriter described in clause (v) above to firmly underwrite the offer.

(d) Other Shares. Any Underwritten Takedown may, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(f), include Other Shares, and may include securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company, provided that, any Other Shares or securities of the Company to be included in an Underwritten Takedown must be the subject of an effective shelf registration statement at the time the Company receives the request for an Underwritten Takedown from the Initiating Holder.

(e) Underwriting; Cutback. If the Company requests inclusion in any Underwritten Takedown of securities to be sold for its own account, or if other persons request inclusion of Other Shares in any Underwritten Takedown, the Initiating Holder shall, on behalf of all Holders, offer to include such securities in the underwriting and such offer shall be conditioned upon the participation of the Company or such other persons in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Company’s and such other person’s securities of the Company and their acceptance of the applicable provisions of this Section 2. The Company shall (together with all Holders and other persons proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company, which underwriters are reasonably acceptable to a majority-in-interest of Holders that qualify as Initiating Holders. No Holder (or its permitted transferee or assignee under Section 2.11 or Section 2.13) shall be required to make any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder’s (or such transferee’s or assignee’s) authority to enter into such underwriting agreement and to sell, and its ownership of, the securities being registered on its behalf, its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

D-8

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the underwriters, in good faith, advise the Initiating Holder in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities of the Company to be underwritten, the number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares that may be so included shall be allocated as follows: (i) first, among Initiating Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Takedown based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Initiating Holders (determined based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by each such Initiating Holder), provided that not less than 20% of the allocation in this clause (i) shall be for the Sponsor or its permitted transferees under Section 2.11 or Section 2.13; (ii) second, among all other Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Takedown based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Holders (determined based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by each such Holder); (iii) third, to the Company, which the Company may allocate, at its discretion, for its own account, or for the account of other Holders or employees of the Company, and (iv) fourth, to any Other Selling Stockholders requesting to include Other Shares in such Underwritten Takedown.

If a person who has requested inclusion in such Underwritten Takedown as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice to the Company, the underwriter or the Initiating Holders, and the securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from the Underwritten Takedown. If securities are so withdrawn from the Underwritten Takedown and if the number of shares to be included in such Underwritten Takedown was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to this Section 2.1(e), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who have retained rights to include securities in the Underwritten Takedown the right to include additional Registrable Securities in the offering in an aggregate amount equal to the number of shares so withdrawn, with such shares to be allocated among such Holders requesting additional inclusion, as set forth above.

(f) Deferral; Suspension. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate (the “Suspension Notice”) signed by an executive officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, effecting a registration (whether by the filing of a registration statement or by taking any other action) or the offering or disposition of Registrable Securities thereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, through an Underwritten Takedown) should be postponed or suspended because such registration, offering or disposal would (1) materially impede, delay or interfere with a pending material acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (2) require premature disclosure of material non-public information that the Company has a material bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (3) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then by delivery of the Suspension Notice to the Holders, then (in addition to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(c) of this Agreement) the Company may so postpone effecting a registration or require the Holders to refrain from offering or disposing of Registrable Securities for a period of not more than sixty (60) days, and, provided further, that the Company shall not suspend usage of a registration statement in this manner more than once in any twelve (12) month period.

2.2 Company Registration

(a) Company Registration/Underwritten Offering. If the Company determines to (1) register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of Other Selling Stockholders (or a combination of the foregoing) during a period in which a Resale Shelf Registration Statement covering a Holder’s Registrable Securities is not then effective, other than: a registration pursuant to Section 2.1; a registration relating to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants; a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans; a registration relating to the offer and sale of non-convertible debt securities; a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other Rule 145 transaction; or a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, or (2) effect an underwritten public offering of securities, either for its own account or the account of Other Selling Stockholders (or a combination of the foregoing), the Company will:

(i) promptly give written notice (in any event not later than ten (10) days prior to the filing of the registration statement or preliminary prospectus to which such offering relates) of the proposed registration or offering, as applicable, to all Holders; and

(ii) use its reasonable best efforts to include in such registration or offering, as applicable, and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance, except as set forth in Section 2.2(b), and in any underwriting involved therein, all of such Registrable Securities as are specified in a written request or requests made by any Holder or Holders received by the Company within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder’s Registrable Securities; provided however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, only Qualified Holders shall be entitled to notice of and to participate in underwritten public offerings contemplated by clause (ii) of this Section 2.2(a).

(b) Underwriting; Cutback. If the registration or offering of which the Company gives notice is for an underwritten public offering, the Company shall so advise the Qualified Holders who have elected to participate (and include the names of the proposed underwriters) as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(2)(i). All Qualified Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the Other Selling Stockholders with registration rights to participate therein) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company. No Qualified Holder (or its permitted transferee or assignee under Section 2.11 or Section 2.13) shall be required to make any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Qualified Holder’s (or such transferee’s or assignee’s) authority to enter into such underwriting agreement and to sell, and its ownership of, the securities being registered on its behalf, its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.

D-10

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the underwriters in good faith advise the Company and the Qualified Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the offering in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the underwriters may (subject to the limitations set forth below) limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated (1) if the underwritten offering is for the Company’s account, (m) first, to the Company; (n) second, to the Qualified Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such offering based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Qualified Holders (determined based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by each such Qualified Holder); and (o) third, to the Other Selling Stockholders, if any, requesting to include Other Shares in such underwritten offering pursuant to piggyback rights and (2) if the underwritten offering is for the account of Other Selling Stockholders, then (x) first, to the Other Selling Stockholders, (y) second, to the Qualified Holders requesting to include Registrable Securities in such offering based on the pro rata percentage of Registrable Securities held by such Qualified Holders (determined based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by each such Qualified Holder); and (z) third, to the Company.

If a person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or Other Shares excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses prior to any such withdrawal.

(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

(d) Limitations. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2:

(i) After the Company has initiated five (5) such Underwritten Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.2 (counting for these purposes only (x) registrations in which Registrable Securities are not excluded or reduced pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and which have been declared or ordered effective and pursuant to which securities have been sold, and (y) withdrawn registrations);

(ii) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 pursuant to the request made pursuant to Section 2.1;

(iii) If the Initiating Holders do not request that such offering be firmly underwritten by underwriters selected by such Initiating Holders (subject to the consent of the Company); or

(iv) If the Company and the Initiating Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of the underwriter described in clause (iii) above to firmly underwrite the offer.

D-11

2.3 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered or because a sufficient number of Holders shall have withdrawn so that the minimum offering conditions set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 are no longer satisfied (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata among each other based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be so registered), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to a demand registration pursuant to Section 2.1; provided, however, if a withdrawal by the Holders is based upon material adverse information relating to the Company that is different from the information known or available (upon request from the Company or otherwise) to the Holders requesting registration at the time of their request for registration under Section 2.1, such registration shall not be treated as a counted registration for purposes of Section 2.1, even though the Holders do not bear the Registration Expenses for such registration. All Selling Expenses relating to securities registered on behalf of the Holders and the holders of any Other Shares shall be borne by the Holders and any holders of any Other Shares included in such registration pro rata among each other on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities and Other Shares, respectively, registered on their behalf.

2.4 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. At its sole expense, the Company will:

(a) Prepare each registration statement, including all exhibits and financial statements required under the Securities Act to be filed therewith, and before filing such registration statement, any prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, furnish to the Holders of the Registrable Securities copies of all documents prepared to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review of such Holders and their respective counsel;

(d) Notify the participating Holders of Registrable Securities, and confirm such notice in writing and provide copies of the relevant documents, as soon as reasonably practicable after notice thereof is received by the Company (a) when the applicable registration statement or any amendment thereto has been filed or becomes effective, and when the applicable prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such prospectus has been filed, (b) of any written comments by the Commission or any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such registration statement, prospectus or for additional information (whether before or after the effective date of the registration statement), (c) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or any order by the Commission or any other regulatory authority preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary or final prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for such purposes, and (d) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of any Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

(g) Notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and following such notification promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document that would be incorporated by reference into such registration statement and prospectus, so that such registration statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that such prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to a registration statement, use reasonable best efforts to cause it to be declared effective as promptly as is reasonably practicable, and give to the Holders listed as selling security holders in such prospectus a written notice of such amendment or supplement, and, upon receipt of such notice, each such Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement until such Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus or until it receives further written notice from the Company that such sales may re-commence;

2.5 Price and Underwriting Discounts. In the case of an underwritten offering requested by Holders pursuant to Section 2.1, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms of the related underwriting agreement for the Registrable Securities shall be determined by the participating Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities. In the case of any underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2.2, such price, discount and other terms shall be determined by the Company, subject to the right of the Holders to withdraw their request to participate in the registration pursuant to Section 2.2 after being advised of such price, discount and other terms.

This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 2.7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall (i) give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought  (provided, that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure), and (ii) permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense unless (w) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (x) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (y) the Indemnified Party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (z) in the reasonable judgment of any such person (based upon advice of its counsel) a conflict of interest may exist between such person and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person). No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No Holder will be required under this Section 2.7(d) to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

D-18

The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.7 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2.7 and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement until the expiration of the applicable period of the statute of limitations.

2.8 Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification, or compliance referred to in this Section 2.

2.9 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to:

(a) Make and keep adequate current public information with respect to the Company available in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act;

(b) File with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(c) So long as a Holder owns any Restricted Securities, furnish to the Holder forthwith upon written request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Company so qualifies), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request to enable such Holder to sell from time to time shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144, including providing at the Company’s expense any legal opinions.

2.10 No Inconsistent Agreements.  The Company has not entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities or otherwise conflict with the provisions hereof. Unless the Company receives the consent of each of (i) the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities issued to the Sponsor and (ii) the Holders holding a majority of the Merger Shares that are Registrable Securities, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities or otherwise conflict with the provisions hereof.

This Restrictive Covenant Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of December [●], 2020 by and between Forum Merger III Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and [●] (the “Restricted Party”, and together with Parent, the “Parties”, and each a “Party”) and will be effective as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement (as defined below)). References to the “Company” in this Agreement shall refer to Parent after giving effect to the consummation of the Merger (as defined below) and each of Parent’s direct and indirect Subsidiaries (including ELM) and any of their respective successors-in-interest or joint ventures (if any).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, this Agreement is being entered into in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 10, 2020 (the “Signing Date”) (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance therewith, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Parent, ELMS Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Electric Last Mile, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ELM”) and Jason Luo, in the capacity as the initial Stockholder Representative thereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

WHEREAS, Parent (i) is a publicly listed special purpose acquisition vehicle, which has been established for the purpose of effecting an initial business combination, and (ii) has no material operating assets (other than those of a kind customarily held by a special purpose acquisition vehicle).

WHEREAS, pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions contained in, the Merger Agreement, Parent, Merger Sub, and ELM will enter into a business combination transaction pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with ELM continuing as the Surviving Corporation.

WHEREAS, as a result of the Merger, (i) the stockholders of ELM that existed a moment in time prior to the Merger, will have their equity interests in ELM cancelled and converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (ii) ELM (as the Surviving Corporation) will be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent.

WHEREAS, the Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Agreement is being entered into as part of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, (ii) the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are a material inducement to, and a condition precedent of, Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Merger, (iii) the Restricted Party shall receive substantial direct and indirect benefits by the consummation of the Merger (including the Restricted Party’s portion of the consideration received by such Restricted Party in connection with the Merger), if any, and (iv) Parent and its Affiliates would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in the Merger Agreement as specifically negotiated by the parties thereto if the Restricted Party breached the provisions of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, as a condition to the consummation of the Merger, the Restricted Party has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises and covenants of the Parties set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

E-1

AGREEMENT

1. Covenants of the Restricted Party.

1.1. Restrictive Covenants.

1.1.1. Non-Competition. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own any interest in, control, manage, operate, participate in, develop products for, advise or consult with or render services for (as a director, officer, employee, agent, broker, partner or contractor), or engage in activities or businesses, or establish any new businesses, within North America (including Mexico), China or Europe (the “Territory”) any business that is competitive with the business operated by the Company as of the Signing Date or as of immediately prior to the Closing, including any activities or business engaged in the design, development, homologation, manufacture, importation, marketing, promotion, distribution, offering for sale, sale, and other commercialization of any and all products and services currently under development or in production (including the vehicles known as the “Urban Delivery (Light Duty Platform)” and “Urban Utility (Medium Duty Platform)”) as of the Signing Date (collectively, the “Business”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 1.1.1 shall be deemed not breached solely as a result of the ownership by the Restricted Party or any of his, her or its Affiliates of less than an aggregate of 1% of any class of stock that is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is listed on a national securities exchange.

1.1.2. Non-Solicitation of Business Relations. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) adversely interfere with the relationship between the Company and any Material Business Relationship, (ii) solicit, induce or attempt to induce (or assist any other Person in soliciting, inducing or attempting to induce), any Material Business Relationship to terminate its relationship with the Company, cease doing business with the Company or terminate or otherwise adversely modify its relationship with the Company, or (iii) acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any Person or business in which, prior to the Closing, ELM had either (a) requested or received information relating to the acquisition of such Person or business, (b) identified to Parent that such Person or business was a potential acquisition target of ELM, or (c) otherwise contemplated the acquisition of such Person or business. “Material Business Relationship” means any (x) material customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee of the Company as of the Closing or at any time in the six (6) month period prior to the Closing, or (y) any other Person with whom the Company, as of the Closing or at any time in the six (6) month period prior to the Closing, had a material business relationship.

1.1.3. Non-Solicitation of Personnel; No Hire. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its controlled Affiliates not to, and shall not assist any other Person to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, recruit or hire any employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Company (“Company Employee”), or any Person who was an employee, independent contractor or consultant of the Company at any time during the 12-month period before the Closing, and (ii) solicit or encourage any Company Employee to leave the employment of Parent; provided, however, that, without limiting the restrictions against hiring, the provisions of this Section 1.1.3 shall not prevent the Restricted Party or any of his, her or its Affiliates (not including the Company) from (a) making a general solicitation for employment that are not specifically targeted at the Company Employees or other employees of Parent or (b) soliciting, inducing or otherwise offering employment to any Company Employees or other employees of Parent who have not been employed with the Company and/or Parent during the previous six months prior to any contact with any such employees initiated by the Restricted Party or his, her or its Affiliates.

E-2

From and after the date hereof, the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its controlled Affiliates not to, make any intentionally negative, derogatory or disparaging statements or communications, either orally or in writing, regarding the Business, the Company and its Affiliates, or any director, manager, officer, agent, representative or direct or indirect equity holder of the Company or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 1.1.4 shall prevent the Restricted Party from (i) performing his or her duties as an officer, director or employee of Parent, its successors-in-interest or their respective Subsidiaries, or (ii) making any truthful statement (A) necessary with respect to any Action involving this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the enforcement of this Agreement, in the forum in which such Action properly takes place or (B) required by Law or any judicial or administrative process.

1.1.5. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not restrict the Restricted Party from performing his or her duties as an officer, director or employee of Parent, its successors-in-interest or their respective Subsidiaries nor shall anything in this Agreement prevent or otherwise restrict the Restricted Party in any way from engaging in the practice of law or the provision of legal services to any person or business.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the restrictions contained in Section 1.1 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area of by reason of their being too extensive in any other respect, Section 1.1 shall be modified to be effective for the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable. Parent and the Restricted Party hereby consent and agree to any such reformation of the restrictions to the maximum of enforceability as determined by any court of competent jurisdiction.

2. Miscellaneous.

Subject to and without limiting the application of Section 1.2, in the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument referred to in this Agreement, shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then to the maximum extent permitted by Law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any other such instrument. Subject to and without limiting the application of Section 1.2, upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties 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.

5.2. Termination by the Company Without Cause. The Company shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and the Employee’s employment without Cause, at any time, and for any reason or no reason at all, subject to the following:

(a) If the Company terminates this Agreement and the Employee’s employment and such termination is not a termination for Cause under Section 5.1, then the Employee shall receive the Accrued Amounts and a cash payment from the Company as severance (the “Severance Payment”) equal to [_______]¹¹ of Base Compensation as in effect at the time of the termination, subject to all applicable federal, state, local and other withholdings. The Severance Payment shall be paid in substantially equal installments with the Company’s regular payroll over the [______]¹² period (the “Severance Pay Period”) following the effective date of termination of employment and commencing on the first administratively practicable payroll date on or next following the date the Release Agreement becomes effective and fully irrevocable in accordance with Section 5.2(c) (provided that the initial and final payments may be a greater or lesser amount so as to conform with the Company’s regular payroll period); provided that any amounts that would be payable prior to the effectiveness of the Release Agreement (as defined below) shall be delayed until the Release Agreement is effective and fully irrevocable.

¹¹ Note to Draft: Insert amount for severance payment.

¹² Note to Draft: Insert period equal to amount of the severance payment.

In the event the Employee obtains other employment before the end of the Severance Pay Period, the Employee shall immediately notify the Company of such employment in writing.  The Employee expressly agrees that failure to immediately advise Company of the Employee’s new employment shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and the Employee will forfeit all Severance Payment amounts paid or that otherwise would be paid by the Company under this Section 5 from the date of the Employee’s new employment until the end of the Severance Pay Period.  The Employee shall immediately repay to the Company all amounts paid by the Company as a Severance Payment applicable to the period commencing on the date of the Employee’s new employment through the end of the Severance Pay Period.  Notwithstanding such forfeiture, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Employee agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all documentation required and/or reasonably requested by the Company to substantiate the Employee’s new employment and all compensation and rights under the Employee’s new employment.

(c) Before receiving the Severance Payment set forth in Section 5.2(a), and as a condition to receiving the same, the Employee shall sign, and not revoke, a release of any and all claims or potential claims against the Company which the Employee has or may have, whether known or unknown, as of the date of execution of the release by the Employee (the “Release Agreement”). The Company must provide the form of Release Agreement to the Employee within fifteen (15) days after the Employee’s separation from service and the Employee must sign the Release Agreement and provide it to the Company within twenty-one (21) days (or forty-five (45) days, if applicable under applicable law) after receiving it from the Company and not revoke such release during any applicable revocation period. The Release Agreement shall be in the form as determined by the Company, in its sole discretion. To the extent the Severance Payment is subject to Section 409A and the period for executing (and not revoking) the Release Agreement begins in one taxable year and ends in another taxable year, the Severance Payment shall not begin until the beginning of the second taxable year; provided that, the first installment payment shall include all amounts that would otherwise have been paid to the Employee during the period beginning on the date of the Employee’s termination and ending on the first payment date if no delay had been imposed.

F-6

5.3. Termination by the Employee for Good Reason. The Employee may terminate this Agreement and/or the Employee’s employment with the Company for Good Reason, as defined below. If the Employee terminates this Agreement for Good Reason, then the Employee shall receive the Accrued Amounts and the Severance Payment as set forth in Section 5.2(a), subject to the requirements of Sections 5.2(b) and (c). For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean:

(a) a material diminution in the Employee’s authority, duties or responsibilities;

(b) a material diminution in the Employee’s Base Compensation except for across-the-board salary reductions similarly affecting other similarly-situated executives of the Company or due to unforeseeable business circumstances, pandemics, natural disasters or similar circumstances;

(c) a change that would require the Employee to relocate to a primary office that is more than fifty (50) miles from the location of the Company’s then principal offices unless such relocation is closer to the Employee’s personal residence; or

(d) a material breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such event described above shall constitute Good Reason unless: (1) the Employee gives written notice to the Company specifying the condition or event relied upon for such termination within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such event; and (2) the Company fails to cure the condition or event constituting Good Reason within thirty (30) days following receipt of the Employee’s written notice. If the Employee does not terminate his or her employment for Good Reason within sixty (60) days after the end of such thirty (30)-day cure period, then the Employee will be deemed to have waived his or her right to terminate for Good Reason with respect to such grounds. If the Company cures the Good Reason condition during such cure period, Good Reason will be deemed not to have occurred.

5.4. Termination by Employee Without Good Reason. The Employee may resign from employment without Good Reason by providing sixty (60) days’ advance, written notice of the Employee’s intent to resign from employment. Upon the effectiveness of such resignation, the Company shall have no further obligation under this Agreement and payment of all compensation to the Employee under this Agreement shall cease immediately, except for the Accrued Amounts. With respect to any notice period pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company may in its sole discretion (a) place the Employee on a paid, non-working, garden leave during some or all of such notice period (and, for the avoidance of doubt, relieve the Employee of the Employee’s title and duties during such period), and/or (b) waive such notice, in whole or in part, by accelerating the Employee’s termination date and paying the Employee the Employee’s base salary in lieu of the portion of the notice period waived by the Company and without affecting the voluntary nature of the Employee’s termination.

F-7

5.5. Termination Due to Disability or Death. The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Employee’s employment, at any time, upon the occurrence of the Employee’s death or Disability. If the Employee’s employment is terminated during the Term on account of the Employee’s death or Disability, the Company shall have no further obligation under this Agreement and payment of all compensation to the Employee under this Agreement shall cease immediately, except for the Accrued Amounts through the date of such termination due to death or Disability. The term “Disability” as used in this Agreement shall mean that the Employee is entitled to receive long-term disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan or, if there is no such plan, the Employee has incurred (1) a permanent and total disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor provision, or (2) a physical or mental disability that renders the Employee unable to perform the required functions of the Employee’s position, duties, and responsibilities under this Agreement, and which, in either case, has existed for at least ninety (90) consecutive days or one hundred and twenty (120) non-consecutive days during any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period as determined by the Company Board and Parent Board.

5.6. COBRA Coverage. Solely in the event of a termination by the Company without Cause pursuant to Section 5.2 and subject to the execution of the Release Agreement by the Employee and the Release Agreement becoming effective and fully irrevocable pursuant to Section 5.2(c), if the Employee timely and properly elects health continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the Company shall reimburse the Employee for the difference between the monthly COBRA premium actually paid by the Employee for the Employee and the Employee’s dependents and the monthly premium amount paid by similarly-situated active executives of the Company during the same period. Such reimbursement shall be paid to the Employee in the month immediately following the month in which the Employee timely remits the premium payment and the Employee provides proof of payment of such premium. The Employee shall be eligible to receive such reimbursement until the earliest of: (i) the end of the Severance Period; (ii) the date the Employee is no longer eligible to receive COBRA continuation coverage; and (iii) the date on which the Employee becomes eligible to receive substantially similar coverage from another employer or other source. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to provide a cash payment to the Employee in lieu of providing reimbursement as described herein in an amount reasonably determined by the Company to be equivalent to the amount of COBRA premium reimbursements that would otherwise be due by the Company under this Section 5.6 for the Severance Period, without regard to any effect of taxation of such cash payment to the Employee. If the Employee obtains other employment prior to the end of the Severance Period which offers any of such insurance coverage, the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Employee for COBRA payments will be immediately terminated. The Employee agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all documentation required and/or reasonably requested by the Company regarding subsequent benefit eligibility.

5.7. Incentive Compensation. In the event of any termination of employment, any equity-based or cash incentive awards shall be treated as provided in the applicable plan document.

6.  Confidentiality, Inventions, and Non-Solicitation Agreement. Prior to the Effective Time, the Employee shall enter into with the Company a Confidentiality, Inventions, and Non-Solicitation Agreement in substantially the form set forth under Exhibit A hereto (the “CIIAA”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement shall have no force or effect and be null and void ab initio if the Employee fails to execute the CIIAA prior to the Effective Time.

F-8

7.  Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation, and Non-Disparagement.

7.1.  Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following specified meanings:

(a)   “Business” means any business engaged in the manufacture, import, distribution and/or sale or resale of electric commercial delivery vehicles.

7.5.  Non-Disparagement. The Employee shall not (and shall cause the Employee’s controlled affiliates not to) during the Term and at any time thereafter make, publish, encourage or support, any false, misleading or disparaging written, oral or electronic statements about the Company or any of its affiliates, including the Company’s or its applicable affiliate’s (i) predecessors, members, present or former directors, managers, employees, consultants, officers, partners, attorneys or other representatives, individually and in their official capacities, or (ii) products, services, practices or operations.

8.  Miscellaneous Provisions Governing Restrictive Covenants.

8.1.  Reasonableness of Restrictions and Covenants. The Employee hereby confirms that the Employee was informed of the time, territory, scope and other essential requirements of the restrictions set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement when the Employee agreed to become employed with the Company under the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Employee acknowledges that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement had the Employee not agreed to the restrictions set forth in Section 7 of the Agreement. The Employee further acknowledges that the Employee has received sufficient and valuable consideration for the Employee’s agreement to such restrictions. The Employee also agrees that the covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable and valid and hereby agrees that the Company would suffer irreparable injury in the event of any breach by the Employee of the Employee’s obligations under any such covenant or restriction. Accordingly, the Employee hereby agrees that damages would be an inadequate remedy at law in connection with any such breach and that the Company shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy which it may have at law, in equity or otherwise, to temporary and permanent injunctive relief enjoining and restraining the Employee from any such breach. The Employee further consents and stipulates to the entry of such injunctive relief without the need to post any bond or other security.

8.2.  Survival. The provisions of Sections 7, 8, 9, 10.2 and 11 of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of the Employee’s employment and regardless of the circumstances that result in such termination. This provision shall not be construed to limit the survival of any other provisions that also survive the termination of this Agreement by the express or implied terms of such provisions.

8.3.  Enforcement, Severability, and Modification. If, at the time of enforcement of any provision of Section 7 of this Agreement, a court or arbitrator holds that the restrictions stated in Section 7 of this Agreement are unreasonable or unenforceable under the circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that (i) the court/arbitrator should first reform the provisions of Section 7 prior to severing any provisions, and if the court/arbitrator will not or cannot reform such provisions, then the court/arbitrator may sever provisions as described in this paragraph, (ii) the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of such provisions are, for any reason whatsoever, deemed invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, (iii) such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions in Section 7 of this Agreement shall be automatically replaced by other provisions which are as similar as possible in terms to such invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable provisions but are valid and enforceable, and (iv) the remaining provisions in Section 7 of this Agreement shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12.5.  Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. If any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be or become illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part for any reason, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. If any court of competent jurisdiction should deem any covenant herein to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is considered excessive, such covenant shall be modified so that the scope of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable.

12.6.  Code Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) or an exemption from Section 409A. The Company shall undertake to administer, interpret, and construe this Agreement in a manner that does not result in the imposition on the Employee of any additional tax, penalty, or interest under Section 409A, provided, however, that the Employee understands and agrees that the Company shall not be held liable or responsible for any taxes, penalties, interests or other expenses incurred by the Employee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

(c)   If the Employee is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A, then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” and that is not exempt from Section 409A as involuntary separation pay or a short-term deferral (or otherwise), such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (i) the first regular payroll date following the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the Employee, or (ii) the date of the Employee’s death (the “Delay Period”).  Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Employee in a lump sum without interest, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

The waiver by a Party of any default of any other Party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default or other default by such Party.

2. Confidential Information.

a. Employee acknowledges that all Confidential Information constitutes a protectable business interest of the Company, and covenants and agrees that at all times during the period of Employee’s employment and thereafter, Employee agrees (i) to hold in strictest confidence the Confidential Information, (ii) not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, furnish, or make available to any Person any Confidential Information without prior written authorization from the Company, and (iii) not to use any Confidential Information except during the term of Employee’s employment in the course of performing Employee’s duties as an employee of the Company. Employee will abide by the Company’s policies and rules as may be established from time to time by it for the protection of its Confidential Information and will not make any copies of Confidential Information except as authorized by the Company. Employee agrees that in the course of employment with the Company, Employee will not bring to the Company’s offices nor use for the Company’s benefit, nor disclose, furnish or make available to the Company or any Company Affiliate, or induce the Company or any Company Affiliate to use, any confidential or proprietary information or Tangible Embodiments belonging to others. Employee’s obligations under this Section 2(a) with respect to particular Confidential Information will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement and Employee’s employment with the Company, and will terminate only at such time (if any) as the Confidential Information in question becomes publicly and widely known to the public other than as a result of any wrongful act of Employee or Employee’s breach of this Agreement (or a breach by those acting in concert with the Employee or on the Employee’s behalf) or wrongful act of any other Person who was under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved.

b. For clarity, Employee’s agreements in this Section 2 are intended to be for the benefit of the Company, the Company Affiliates, and any third party that has entrusted information or Tangible Embodiments to the Company or the Company Affiliates in confidence. This Agreement is intended to supplement, and not to supersede, any rights the Company or the Company Affiliates may have with respect to the protection of trade secrets or confidential or proprietary information.

c. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an individual (including Employee) shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. An individual (including Employee) shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual (including Employee) who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with federal law protecting confidential disclosures of a trade secret to the government or in a court filing, 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), or to create liability for disclosures of Confidential Information that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b).

F-21

3. Return of Materials. Upon termination of employment with the Company or otherwise upon the Company’s request, and regardless of the reason for such termination, Employee agrees to promptly return to the Company or destroy all Tangible Embodiments of the foregoing in Employee’s possession, custody, or control that contain, summarize, abstract, or in any way reflect, relate to, or embody any Confidential Information or any other information concerning the Company, any of the Company Affiliates or any of its or their products, services or clients, whether prepared by the Employee or others. At the time Employee returns or destroys these materials (or otherwise upon the Company’s request), Employee will acknowledge to the Company, in writing and under oath, in the form attached as Exhibit A, that Employee has complied with the terms of this Section 3.

4. Work Product.

a. Employee agrees to promptly and fully disclose in writing to the Company all Work Product (including all original works of authorship and all work product relating thereto). This disclosure will include complete and accurate copies of all Tangible Embodiments of such Work Product.

b. Employee covenants and agrees that all Work Product and Tangible Embodiments are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. Employee acknowledges that all Work Product that are original works of authorship Created by Employee (solely or jointly) within the scope of Employee’s employment are “works made for hire” to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law and as that term is under the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., et seq.). Without limiting the foregoing, Employee hereby agrees to hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company and hereby assigns (and without limiting the foregoing, agrees in the future to assign) to the Company all of the entire worldwide right, title, and interest in and to all Work Product (and Tangible Embodiments thereof) throughout the world, without any requirement of further documentation or consideration, including, for clarity, any and all patent rights, copyrights, trademark rights, mask work rights, moral rights, sui generis database rights, and all other intellectual property rights therein or pertaining thereto and all rights to prosecute, enforce, and sue for past, present and future infringements, misappropriations or other violations thereof, throughout the universe in perpetuity or for the longest period permitted by law. Employee hereby waives and irrevocably quitclaims to the Company or its designee any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, that Employee now has or may hereafter have for infringement of any and all Work Product and/or Tangible Embodiments and intellectual property rights related thereto.

F-22

c. At any time during or after Employee’s employment with the Company, at the request of the Company or any of the Company Affiliates, Employee agrees to perform, during and after employment, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to permit and assist it, at the Company’s expense, in registering, recording, obtaining, maintaining, defending, perfecting, enforcing, and/or assigning any Work Product and Tangible Embodiments in any and all countries. In the event Employee refuses or fails to perform such acts, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and in Employee’s behalf and instead of Employee, to execute and file any documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the above purposes with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee; this designation and appointment constitutes an irrevocable power of attorney and is coupled with an interest.

d. To the extent that such an assignment of any Work Product and/or Tangible Embodiment is not permitted under applicable law, Employee hereby grants to (and without limiting the foregoing, agrees in the future to grant to) the Company an exclusive (even as to Employee), royalty-free, fully paid up, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, sublicenseable and transferable license to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative works of, use, publicly perform, display, sell, offer for sale, import, distribute, and/or otherwise exploit such Work Product or Tangible Embodiment for any commercial or internal business purposes and all other purposes. To the extent not assignable, Employee hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all claims Employee may now or hereafter have in any jurisdiction to any so-called “moral rights” in connection with the Work Product and acknowledges and agrees that the Company may use, exploit, distribute, reproduce, advertise, promote, publicize, alter, modify or edit the Work Product or combine the Work Product with other works, in the Company’s sole discretion, in any format or medium hereafter devised.

e. Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Section 4, Employee hereby authorizes the Company and each of the Company Affiliates to make any desired changes to any part of any Work Product, to combine it with other materials in any manner desired, and to withhold Employee’s identity in connection with any distribution or use thereof alone or in combination with other materials.

f. The obligations of Employee set forth in this Section 4 (including, but not limited to, the assignment obligations) will continue beyond the termination of Employee’s employment with respect to Work Product Created by Employee alone or jointly with others during Employee’s employment with the Company and for one (1) year thereafter, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. These obligations will be binding upon Employee and Employee’s executors, administrators and other representatives.

F-23

g. Employee agrees that Employee will register all domains, usernames, handles, social media accounts and similar online accounts which Employee registers on behalf of the Company and which relate to the Company or its intellectual property rights (the “Online Accounts”) in the name of the Company, except to the extent that such requests by the Company are prohibited by law. If any Online Account that is not (or by the terms of such Online Account cannot be) registered in the name of the Company is registered in Employee’s name or under Employee’s control, Employee agrees to assign ownership and control of such Online Account to any Person designated by the Company upon the Company’s request. Employee agrees to use any Online Account, whether registered in Employee’s name or the name of the Company, in compliance with any applicable policies or guidelines of the Company.

h. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement does not apply to any Invention which qualifies as a non-assignable Invention under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870 (“Section 2870”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B. Employee will advise the Company promptly in writing of any Inventions that Employee believes fully qualify for protection under Section 2870; and Employee will at that time provide to the Company in writing all evidence necessary to substantiate that belief. The Company will keep in confidence and will not use for any purpose or disclose to third parties without Employee’s consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to the Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to Inventions that qualify fully for protection under the provisions of Section 2870. Employee will preserve the confidentiality of any Invention that does not fully qualify for protection under Section 2870. BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EMPLOYEE HAS RECEIVED EXHIBIT B, WHICH SHALL CONSTITUTE WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 2870.

5. Excluded IP.

a. As a matter of record, Employee has set forth on Exhibit C hereto a list with non-confidential descriptions of any and all proprietary information, works of authorship, ideas, reports, creative works, intellectual property or other Inventions which have been made by Employee prior to employment with the Company and which are excluded from the scope of this Agreement (collectively, the “Excluded IP”). Employee hereby represents and warrants that such list is accurate and complete. If no list is attached (or if the list is empty), then Employee hereby represents and warrants that there is no Excluded IP. Employee will not assert any right, title or interest in or to any Work Product nor claim that Employee Created any Work Product before Employee’s employment with the Company unless Employee has specifically identified that Invention as an Excluded IP on the attached Exhibit C prior to the execution of this Agreement.

b. If in the course of Employee’s employment, Employee uses or incorporates into any Work Product or Tangible Embodiment any Inventions (including any Excluded IP) in which Employee or a third Person has any interest and which is not covered by Section 4(b) hereof, Employee will promptly so inform the Company. Whether or not Employee gives such notice, Employee hereby grants to (and without limiting the foregoing, agrees in the future to grant to) the Company an exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, sublicenseable and transferable license to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative works of, use, publicly perform, display, sell, offer for sale, import, distribute, and/or otherwise exploit such Invention (including such Excluded IP) for any commercial or internal business purposes and all other purposes.

F-24

6. Representations and Warranties.

a. No Conflicts. Employee hereby represents and warrants that Employee is not subject to any obligation to any third Person, including any former employer, that would be inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement, including with respect to any Excluded IP, and that Employee has the right to grant the license and rights granted in Section 5(b).

b. No Infringement. Employee hereby represents and warrants that all Excluded IP licensed to the Employer pursuant to Section 5(b) do not (and all Work Product will not) infringe, misappropriate, dilute, or otherwise violate any third Person’s patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights or other rights.

7. Equitable Remedies. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Company’s and the Company Affiliates’ business interests, that irreparable injury will result to the Company and the Company Affiliates if Employee breaches any of the terms of said covenants, and that in the event of Employee’s actual or threatened breach of any such covenants, the Company and the Company Affiliates will have no adequate remedy at law. Employee accordingly agrees that, in the event of any actual or threatened breach by Employee of any of said covenants, the Company or any of the Company Affiliates, as applicable, will be entitled to immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without posting bond or other security and without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages. Nothing in this Section 7 will be construed as prohibiting the Company or any of the Company Affiliates from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of any damages that it is able to prove.

8. No Right to Employment. No provision of this Agreement shall give Employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of the Company Affiliates, create any inference as to the length of employment of Employee, affect the right of the Company or the Company Affiliates to terminate the employment of Employee, with or without cause, or give Employee any right to participate in any employee welfare or benefit plan or other program of the Company or any of the Company Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Employee has executed a written employment agreement with the Company, in the event of any direct and irresolvable conflict between the terms of this Agreement and such employment agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control with respect to all Inventions and Confidential Information, but otherwise the terms of the employment agreement shall control.

F-25

9. Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties. No term or condition of this Agreement will be deemed to have been waived, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver. No such written waiver will be deemed to be a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver will operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that specifically waived.

10. Severability. Employee acknowledges that the agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement are essential to protect the Company and the Company Affiliates and their goodwill. Each of the covenants in this Agreement will be construed as independent of any other covenants or other provisions of this Agreement. If any court of competent jurisdiction at any time deems the Restricted Period unreasonably lengthy or any of the covenants set forth in this Agreement not fully enforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless stand and to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect, and it is the intention and desire of the parties that the court treat any provisions of this Agreement which are not fully enforceable as having been modified to the extent deemed necessary by the court to render them reasonable and enforceable and that the court enforce them to such extent.

11. Notices. Any notice, consent, waiver and other communications required or permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been properly given (a) when delivered by hand; (b) five (5) days after sent by certified mail, return receipt requested; or (c) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case to the appropriate addresses set forth below:

If to the Company: the address of the Company’s current headquarters, Attention: General Counsel.

If to Employee: to the last-known address of the Employee as shown in the Company’s records.

Each party will be entitled to provide a different address for the receipt of subsequent notices by giving written notice thereof to the other party in accordance with this Section 11.

12. Headings. The headings and other captions in this Agreement are included solely for convenience of reference and will not control the meaning and interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

13. Governing Law. This Agreement has been executed in the State of Michigan, and its validity, interpretation, performance, and enforcement will be governed by the laws of such state, except with respect to conflicts of laws principles. The parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts with jurisdiction over Auburn Hills, Michigan in any action or claim arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, or the relationship between the parties hereto.

F-26

14. Binding Effect. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Employee, the Company, the Company Affiliates, and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Company will be entitled to assign its rights and duties under this Agreement, without the Employee’s prior consent. Employee may not assign this Agreement or any part hereof. Any purported assignment by Employee shall be null and void ab initio.

15. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any person.

16. Waiver of Jury. THE COMPANY AND THE EMPLOYEE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO.

17. Voluntary Execution. Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee has carefully read all of the provisions of this Agreement, that Employee understands and has voluntarily accepted such provisions, and that Employee will fully and faithfully comply with such provisions.

18. Advice of Counsel. EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, EMPLOYEE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, AND EMPLOYEE HAS READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AGAINST ANY PARTY BY REASON OF THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION HEREOF.

19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart's signature page of this Agreement by facsimile, email in portable document format (.pdf), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document has the same effect as delivery of an executed original of this Agreement

ARTICLE I.

The name of this corporation is Electric Last Mile Solutions, Inc. (the “Corporation”).

The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is 251 Little Falls Drive, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19808, and the name of the registered agent at such address is Corporation Service Corporation.

ARTICLE III.

The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized and incorporated under the Delaware General Corporation Law or any applicable successor act thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “DGCL”).

ARTICLE IV.

A.  The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares which the Corporation is authorized to issue is 1,100,000,000 shares. 1,000,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, each having a par value of one-hundredth of one cent ($0.0001). 100,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock, each having a par value of one-hundredth of one cent ($0.0001).

H-1

B.  Effective immediately upon the filing and effectiveness of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Corporation’s Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be reclassified, redesignated and changed into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of the Corporation’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”). Immediately following the conversion of such Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, each share of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding shall, automatically and without further action by any stockholder, be reclassified, redesignated and changed into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock.

C.  Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) is hereby authorized to provide by resolution or resolutions from time to time for the issuance, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, of one or more series of Preferred Stock, without stockholder approval, by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (the “Preferred Stock Designation”), setting forth such resolution and, with respect to each such series, establishing the number of shares to be included in such series, and fixing the voting powers, full or limited, or no voting power of the shares of such series, and the designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The powers, designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. The authority of the Board with respect to each series of Preferred Stock shall include, but not be limited to, the determination of the following: (1) the designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title; (2) the number of shares of the series, which number the Board may thereafter (except where otherwise provided in the Preferred Stock Designation) increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding); (3) the amounts or rates at which dividends will be payable on, and the preferences, if any, of shares of the series in respect of dividends, and whether such dividends, if any, shall be cumulative or noncumulative; (4) the dates on which dividends, if any, shall be payable; (5) the redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares of the series; (6) the terms and amount of any sinking fund, if any, provided for the purchase or redemption of shares of the series; (7) the amounts payable on, and the preferences, if any, of shares of the series in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation; (8) whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series, or any other security, of the Corporation or any other corporation, and, if so, the specification of such other class or series or such other security, the conversion or exchange price or prices or rate or rates, any adjustments thereof, the date or dates at which such shares shall be convertible or exchangeable and all other terms and conditions upon which such conversion or exchange may be made; (9) restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or any other class or series; (10) the voting rights, if any, of the holders of shares of the series generally or upon specified events; and (11) any other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such shares, all as may be determined from time to time by the Board and stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such Preferred Stock.

H-2

D.  The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock of any series as may be designated by the Board upon any issuance of the Preferred Stock of any series.

E.  Except as otherwise provided by law or by the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election and removal of directors and for all other purposes. Each outstanding share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for their vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon by law or pursuant to this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock).

F.  Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and distributions and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Corporation when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor.

G.  Subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the assets and funds of the Corporation available for distribution in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary. A liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, as such terms are used in this Article IV shall not be deemed to be occasioned by or to include any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other person or a sale, lease, exchange or conveyance of all or a part of its assets.

ARTICLE V.

A.  

1.   DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS. For the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation, of its directors and of its stockholders or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided that the management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation shall be vested in the Board. Subject to the applicable requirements of the Director Nomination Agreement, dated as of [___], [___] (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Nomination Agreement”), the number of directors constituting the Board shall be fixed exclusively by resolutions adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors constituting the Board.

H-3

2.  BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board. The Board is authorized to assign members of the Board already in office to such classes at the time the classification becomes effective. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial classification of the Board, the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification, the term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, each director shall serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

3.  REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS. Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, any individual director or directors may be removed with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.

4.  VACANCIES. Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock and the rights granted pursuant to the Nomination Agreement, any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board, and not by the stockholders. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified.

B.  

1.  BYLAW AMENDMENTS. The Board is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation. Any adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws of the Corporation by the Board shall require the approval of a majority of the authorized number of directors. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation with, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

H-4

2.  BALLOTS. The directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.

3.  ACTION BY STOCKHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action properly brought before the stockholders by or at the direction of the Board may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a written consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by the holders of outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to be voted with respect to the subject matter thereof having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

4.  NOTICE. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

5.  SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by (i) the Chair of the Board or President and (ii) shall be called by the Chair of the Board, President or Secretary on the written request of at least a majority of directors then in office, or the sole director, as the case may be. The ability of the stockholders to call a special meeting is hereby specifically denied.

ARTICLE VI.

A.  To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists and as it may hereafter be amended, no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If applicable law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VI to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director to the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as so amended.

B.  The Corporation may indemnify, and advance expenses to, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

H-5

C.  No repeal or modification of this Article VI shall apply to or have any adverse effect on any right, indemnification or protection of, or any limitation of the liability of, a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE VII.

A.  Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery lacks jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware unless said court lacks subject matter jurisdiction in which case the Superior Court of the State of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim arising under any provision of the DGCL, this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (a) through (d) above, any claim (A) as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Section A of this Article VII will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the preceding sentence is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, then such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the preceding sentence and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

ARTICLE VIII.

The Corporation renounces, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any interest or expectancy of the Corporation in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any Excluded Opportunity pursuant to Section 122(17) of the DGCL. An “Excluded Opportunity” is any matter, transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of (i) any director of the Corporation who is not an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) any holder of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or any partner, member, director, stockholder, employee or agent of any such holder, other than someone who is an employee of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Covered Persons”), unless such matter, transaction or interest is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, a Covered Person expressly and solely in such Covered Person’s capacity as a director of the Corporation, such opportunity is one the Corporation is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the Corporation to pursue, and to the extent the director is permitted to refer that opportunity to the Corporation without violating any legal or contractual obligation. Any amendment, repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII shall not adversely affect any right or protection of any director, officer or other agent of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.

ARTICLE IX.

A.  If any provision or provisions of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Third Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Third Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to permit the Corporation to protect its directors, officers, employees and agents from personal liability in respect of their good faith service or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

B.  The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, except as provided in paragraph C. of this Article IX, and all rights conferred upon the stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

C.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of the Corporation required by law or by this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any certificate of designation filed with respect to a series of Preferred Stock, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, at any time, shall be required to alter, amend or repeal Articles V, VI, VII and IX of this Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

(THE “CORPORATION”)

ARTICLE I
OFFICES

Section 1.1. Registered Office. The registered office of Electric Last Mile Solutions, Inc. (the “Corporation”) within the State of Delaware shall be located at either (a) the principal place of business of the Corporation in the State of Delaware or (b) the office of the Corporation or individual acting as the Corporation’s registered agent in Delaware.

Section 1.2. Additional Offices. The Corporation may, in addition to its registered office in the State of Delaware, have such other offices and places of business, both within and outside the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) may from time to time determine or as the business and affairs of the Corporation may require.

ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS

Section 2.1. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5(a). At each annual meeting, the stockholders entitled to vote on such matters shall elect those directors of the Corporation to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of such annual meeting and may transact any other business as may properly be brought before the meeting in accordance with these Bylaws.

Section 2.2. Special Meetings. Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of the preferred stock of the Corporation (“Preferred Stock”), and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by the Chair of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, and may not be called by any other person. Special meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and at such time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the Corporation’s notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5(a).

I-1

Section 2.3. Notices. Notice of each stockholders meeting stating the place, if any, date, and time of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, shall be given in the manner permitted by Section 9.3 to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, by the Corporation not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting unless otherwise required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). If said notice is for a stockholder meeting other than an annual meeting, it shall in addition state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and the business transacted at such meeting shall be limited to the matters so stated in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). Notices of meetings to stockholders may be given by mailing the same, addressed to the stockholder entitled thereto, at such stockholder’s mailing address as it appears on the records of the Corporation and such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid. Without limiting the manner by which notices of meetings otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any such notice may be given by electronic transmission in accordance with applicable law. Notice of any meeting need not be given to any stockholder who shall, either before or after the meeting, submit a waiver of notice or who shall attend such meeting, except when the stockholder attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of the meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of the meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given. Any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be postponed, and any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be cancelled, by the Board upon Public Disclosure (as defined in Section 2.7(a)(ii)) given before the date previously scheduled for such meeting.

Section 2.4. Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy, at a stockholders meeting of the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. If a quorum shall not be present or represented by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the chair of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.6 until a quorum shall attend. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

I-2

Section 2.5. Voting of Shares.

(a) Voting Lists. The Secretary of the Corporation (the “Secretary”) shall prepare, or shall cause the officer or agent who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation to prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting; provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address and the number and class of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(a) shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If a meeting of stockholders is to be held solely by means of remote communication as permitted by Section 9.5(a), the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting, as provided by applicable law, on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of meeting. Except as provided by applicable law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list required by this Section 2.5(a) or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

(b) Manner of Voting. At any stockholders meeting, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy. If authorized by the Board, the voting by stockholders or proxy holders at any meeting conducted by remote communication may be effected by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission (as defined in Section 9.3(c)), provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which the Corporation can determine that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxy holder. The Board, in its discretion, or the chair of the meeting of stockholders, in such person’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

(c) Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Proxies need not be filed with the Secretary until the meeting is called to order, but shall be filed with the Secretary before being voted or the delivery of a consent action in writing to the Corporation pursuant to Section 2.9. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, either of the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority. No stockholder shall have cumulative voting rights.

(i) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

I-3

(ii) A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission authorizing another person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

(d) Required Vote. Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, at all meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. All other matters presented to the stockholders at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be determined by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter.

(e) Inspectors of Election. In advance of any meeting of the stockholders, the Board shall appoint one or more inspectors, who may be employees of the Corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Board may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspector or inspectors in the performance of their duties. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders, the inspector or inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election. When executing the duties of inspector, the inspector or inspectors shall: (i) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each; (ii) determine the shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; (iii) count all votes and ballots; (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots.

I-4

Section 2.6. Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned by the chair of the meeting, from time to time, whether or not there is a quorum, to reconvene at the same or some other place, if any. Notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the date, time, and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the stockholders, or the holders of any class or series of stock entitled to vote separately as a class, as the case may be, may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 9.2, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 2.7. Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals.

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

(i) At a meeting of the stockholders, only such nominations of persons for the election of directors and such other business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, nominations or such other business must be: (A) made pursuant to the Director Nomination Agreement, dated as of [___], [___] (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Nomination Agreement”); (B) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof; (C) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof; or (D) otherwise properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record of the Corporation at the time such notice of meeting is delivered, who is entitled to vote at the meeting, and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.7.

(ii) In addition, any proposal of business (other than the nomination of persons for election to the Board) must be a proper matter for stockholder action. For business (including, but not limited to, director nominations) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(i)(D), the stockholder or stockholders of record intending to propose the business (the “Proposing Stockholder”) must have given timely notice thereof pursuant to this Section 2.7(a), in writing to the Secretary even if such matter is already the subject of any notice to the stockholders or Public Disclosure from the Board. To be timely, a Proposing Stockholder’s notice for an annual meeting must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation: (x) not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, in advance of the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting if such meeting is to be held on a day which is not more than 30 days in advance of the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting or not later than 60 days after the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting; and (y) with respect to any other annual meeting of stockholders, including in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year, not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of: (1) the 90th day prior to the annual meeting and (2) the close of business on the 10th day following the first date of Public Disclosure of the date of such meeting. In no event shall the Public Disclosure of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new notice time period (or extend any notice time period). For the purposes of this Section 2.7, “Public Disclosure” shall mean a disclosure made in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Services, The Associated Press, or a comparable national news service or in a document filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14, or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

I-5

(b) Stockholder Nominations. For the nomination of any person or persons for election to the Board pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(i)(D) or Section 2.7(d), a Proposing Stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth or include: (i) the name, age, business address, and residence address of each nominee proposed in such notice; (ii) the principal occupation or employment of each such nominee; (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned of record and beneficially by each such nominee (if any); (iv) such other information concerning each such nominee as would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such nominee as a director in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved) or that is otherwise required to be disclosed, under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; (v) a written statement executed by each such nominee acknowledging that such person consents to being named in the Company’s proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected, and (vi) as to the Proposing Stockholder: (A) the name and address of the Proposing Stockholder as they appear on the Corporation’s books and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made, (B) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned by the Proposing Stockholder (beneficially and of record) and owned by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made, as of the date of the Proposing Stockholder’s notice, and a representation that the Proposing Stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing of the class and number of such shares owned of record and beneficially as of the record date for the meeting within five business days after the record date for such meeting, (C) a description of any agreement, arrangement, or understanding with respect to such nomination between or among the Proposing Stockholder or the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made and any of their affiliates or associates, and any others (including their names) acting in concert with any of the foregoing, and a representation that the Proposing Stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing of any such agreement, arrangement, or understanding in effect as of the record date for the meeting within five business days after the record date for such meeting, (D) a description of any agreement, arrangement, or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into as of the date of the Proposing Stockholder’s notice by, or on behalf of, the Proposing Stockholder or the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made and any of their affiliates or associates, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of such person or any of their affiliates or associates with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, and a representation that the Proposing Stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing of any such agreement, arrangement, or understanding in effect as of the record date for the meeting within five business days after the record date for such meeting, (E) a representation that the Proposing Stockholder is a holder of record of shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice, and (F) a representation whether the Proposing Stockholder intends to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve the nomination and/or otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of the nomination.

I-6

The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee. Any such update or supplement shall be delivered to the Secretary at the Corporation’s principal executive offices no later than five business days after the request by the Corporation for subsequent information has been delivered to the Proposing Stockholder.

(c) Other Stockholder Proposals. For all business other than director nominations, a Proposing Stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the Proposing Stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting; (ii) the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting; (iii) the text of any proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment); (iv) any substantial interest (within the meaning of Item 5 of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act) in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), if any, on whose behalf the business is being proposed; (v) any other information relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is being made, required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the proposal and pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (vi) a description of all agreements, arrangements, or understandings between or among such stockholder, the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is being made, any of their affiliates or associates, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business and any material interest of such stockholder, beneficial owner, or any of their affiliates or associates, in such business, including any anticipated benefit therefrom to such stockholder, beneficial owner, or their affiliates or associates; and (vii) the information required by Section 2.7(b)(vi) above.

(d) Special Meetings of Stockholders.

(i) Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders called by the Board at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting: (i) as provided in the Nomination Agreement, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof, or (iii) provided that the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this Section 2.7(d) is delivered to the Secretary, who is entitled to vote at the meeting, and upon such election and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.7.

I-7

(ii) In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any such stockholder entitled to vote in such election of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if such stockholder delivers a stockholder’s notice that complies with the requirements of Section 2.7(b) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of: (x) the 90th day prior to such special meeting; or (y) the 10th day following the date of the first Public Disclosure of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the Public Disclosure of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any notice time period).

(e) Effect of Noncompliance. Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7 shall be eligible to be elected at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to serve as directors and only such other business shall be conducted at a meeting as shall be brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7. If any proposed nomination was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 2.7, or other business was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 2.7, then except as otherwise required by law, the chair of the meeting shall have the power and duty to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed other business shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, unless otherwise required by law, if a Proposing Stockholder intending to propose business or make nominations at an annual meeting or propose a nomination at a special meeting pursuant to this Section 2.7 does not provide the information required under this Section 2.7 to the Corporation, including the updated information required by Section 2.7(b)(vi)(B), Section 2.7(b)(vi)(C), and Section 2.7(b)(vi)(D) within five business days after the record date for such meeting or the Proposing Stockholder (or a qualified representative of the Proposing Stockholder) does not appear at the meeting to present the proposed business or nominations, such business or nominations shall not be considered, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such business or nominations may have been received by the Corporation.

(f) Rule 14a-8. This Section 2.7 shall not apply to a proposal proposed to be made by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of the stockholder’s intention to present the proposal at an annual or special meeting only pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and such proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such meeting.

Section 7.7. Registered Stockholders. Before due presentment for registration of transfer of a certificate representing shares of the Corporation or of an instruction requesting registration of transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation may treat the registered owner as the person exclusively entitled to inspect for any proper purpose the stock ledger and the other books and records of the Corporation, vote such shares, receive dividends or notifications with respect to such shares and otherwise exercise all the rights and powers of the owner of such shares, except that a person who is the beneficial owner of such shares (if held in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person) may, upon providing documentary evidence of beneficial ownership of such shares and satisfying such other conditions as are provided under applicable law, may also so inspect the books and records of the Corporation.

(b) A restriction imposed by the Corporation on the transfer or the registration of shares of the Corporation or on the amount of shares of the Corporation that may be owned by any person or group of persons, even if otherwise lawful, is ineffective against a person without actual knowledge of such restriction unless: (i) the shares are certificated and such restriction is noted conspicuously on the certificate; or (ii) the shares are uncertificated and such restriction was contained in a notice, offering circular or prospectus sent by the Corporation to the registered owner of such shares within a reasonable time prior to or after the issuance or transfer of such shares.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding; provided, however, that, with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

Section 8.2. Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 8.1, an Indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that an advancement of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon the Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or otherwise. Payment of such expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person, may be made by the Corporation, subject to such terms and conditions as the general counsel of the Corporation in his or her discretion deems appropriate.

Section 8.3. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right, which such Indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, an agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL.

Section 8.4. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise, or nonprofit entity against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.

Section 8.5. Indemnification of Other Persons; Other Indemnification. This Article VIII shall not limit the right of the Corporation to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Indemnitees. Without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation and to any other person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Indemnitees under this Article VIII. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity.

Section 8.6. Amendments. Any amendment, repeal, or modification of this Article VIII shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

Section 8.7. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VIII, (a) references to “other enterprise” shall include any employee benefit plan; (b) references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; (c) references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service that imposes duties on, or involves services by, a person with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and (d) a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation” for purposes of Section 145 of the DGCL.

Section 8.8. Contract Rights. The rights provided to Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VIII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, agent or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

I-21

Section 8.9. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each such portion of this Article VIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1. Place of Meetings. If the place of any meeting of stockholders, the Board or committee of the Board for which notice is required under these Bylaws is not designated in the notice of such meeting, such meeting shall be held at the principal business office of the Corporation; provided, however, if the Board has, in its sole discretion, determined that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but instead shall be held by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5 hereof, then such meeting shall not be held at any place.

Section 9.2. Fixing Record Dates.

(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2(a) at the adjourned meeting.

(b) For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which date shall not be more than 10 (or the maximum number permitted by applicable law) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. If no record date has been fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is required by Chapter 1 of the DGCL, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board and prior action by the Board is required by Chapter 1 of the DGCL, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

I-22

(c) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 9.3. Means of Giving Notice.

(a) Notice to Directors. Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws notice is required to be given to any director, such notice shall be given either (i) in writing and sent by mail, or by a nationally recognized delivery service, (ii) by means of facsimile telecommunication or other form of electronic transmission, or (iii) by oral notice given personally or by telephone. A notice to a director will be deemed given as follows: (i) if given by hand delivery, orally, or by telephone, when actually received by the director, (ii) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (iii) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director’s address appearing on the records of the Corporation, (iv) if sent by facsimile telecommunication, when sent to the facsimile transmission number for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation, (v) if sent by electronic mail, when sent to the electronic mail address for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation, or (vi) if sent by any other form of electronic transmission, when sent to the address, location or number (as applicable) for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation.

(b) Notice to Stockholders. Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws notice is required to be given to any stockholder, such notice may be given (i) in writing and sent either by hand delivery, through the United States mail, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for next day delivery, or (ii) by means of a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder, to the extent permitted by, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 232 of the DGCL. A notice to a stockholder shall be deemed given as follows: (i) if given by hand delivery, when actually received by the stockholder, (ii) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address appearing on the stock ledger of the Corporation, (iii) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address appearing on the stock ledger of the Corporation, and (iv) if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above, (A) if by facsimile transmission, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (B) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (C) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specified posting, upon the later of (1) such posting and (2) the giving of such separate notice, and (D) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent to receiving notice by means of electronic communication by giving written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (1) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (2) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or to the Corporation’s transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

I-23

(c) Electronic Transmission. “Electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process, including but not limited to transmission by telex, facsimile telecommunication, electronic mail, telegram and cablegram.

(d) Notice to Stockholders Sharing Same Address. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively by the Corporation to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder’s consent by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Corporation within 60 days of having been given written notice by the Corporation of its intention to send such a single written notice shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.

(e) Exceptions to Notice Requirements. Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

I-24

Whenever notice is required to be given by the Corporation, under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to any stockholder to whom (1) notice of two consecutive annual meetings of stockholders and all notices of stockholder meetings or of the taking of action by written consent of stockholders without a meeting to such stockholder during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings, or (2) all, and at least two payments (if sent by first-class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a 12-month period, have been mailed addressed to such stockholder at such stockholder’s address as shown on the records of the Corporation and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such stockholder shall not be required. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to such stockholder shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. If any such stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation a written notice setting forth such stockholder’s then current address, the requirement that notice be given to such stockholder shall be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to Section 230(b) of the DGCL. The exception in subsection (1) of the first sentence of this paragraph to the requirement that notice be given shall not be applicable to any notice returned as undeliverable if the notice was given by electronic transmission.

Section 9.4. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, a written waiver of such notice, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to such required notice. All such waivers shall be kept with the books of the Corporation. Attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a person attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

Section 9.5. Meeting Attendance via Remote Communication Equipment.

(a) Stockholder Meetings. If authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication:

(i) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and

(ii) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (A) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxy holder, (B) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and, if entitled to vote, to vote on matters submitted to the applicable stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (C) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such votes or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.

(b) Board Meetings. Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and be heard. Such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

I-25

Section 9.6. Dividends. The Board may from time to time declare, and the Corporation may pay, dividends (payable in cash, property or shares of the Corporation’s capital stock) on the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock, subject to applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 9.7. Reserves. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for such other purpose as the Board shall think conducive to the interests of the Corporation, and the Board may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

Section 9.8. Contracts and Negotiable Instruments. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument may be executed and delivered in the name and on behalf of the Corporation by such officer or officers or other employee or employees of the Corporation as the Board may from time to time authorize. Such authority may be general or confined to specific instances as the Board may determine. The Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Vice President may execute and deliver any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument in the name and on behalf of the Corporation. Subject to any restrictions imposed by the Board, the Chair of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Vice President may delegate powers to execute and deliver any contract, bond, deed, lease, mortgage or other instrument in the name and on behalf of the Corporation to other officers or employees of the Corporation under such person’s supervision and authority, it being understood, however, that any such delegation of power shall not relieve such officer of responsibility with respect to the exercise of such delegated power. All checks, notes, drafts, or other orders for the payment of money of the Corporation shall be signed, endorsed, or accepted in the name of the Corporation by such officer, officers, person, or persons as from time to time may be designated by the Board or by an officer or officers authorized by the Board to make such designation.

Section 9.9. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed by the Board.

Section 9.10. Seal. The Board may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be in such form as the Board determines. The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed, affixed or otherwise reproduced, as may be prescribed by law or by the Board.

Section 9.11. Books and Records. The books and records of the Corporation may be kept within or outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may from time to time be designated by the Board. Any records administered by or on behalf of the Corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account, and minute books, may be maintained on any information storage device, method, or one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases); provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time, and, with respect to the stock ledger, the records so kept comply with Section 224 of the DGCL. The Corporation shall so convert any records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect such records pursuant to applicable law.

I-26

Section 9.12. Surety Bonds. Such officers, employees and agents of the Corporation (if any) as the Chair of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board may direct, from time to time, shall be bonded for the faithful performance of their duties and for the restoration to the Corporation, in case of their death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office, of all books, papers, vouchers, money and other property of whatever kind in their possession or under their control belonging to the Corporation, in such amounts and by such surety companies as the Chair of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President or the Board may determine. The premiums on such bonds shall be paid by the Corporation and the bonds so furnished shall be in the custody of the Secretary.

Section 9.13. Securities of Other Corporations. Powers of attorney, proxies, waivers of notice of meeting, consents in writing and other instruments relating to securities owned by the Corporation may be executed in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation by the Chair of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, any Vice President or any officers authorized by the Board. Any such officer, may, in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation, take all such action as any such officer may deem advisable to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of security holders of any corporation in which the Corporation may own securities, or to consent in writing, in the name of the Corporation as such holder, to any action by such corporation, and at any such meeting or with respect to any such consent shall possess and may exercise any and all rights and power incident to the ownership of such securities and which, as the owner thereof, the Corporation might have exercised and possessed. The Board may from time to time confer like powers upon any other person or persons.

Section 9.14. Amendments. The Board shall have the power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The Bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders; provided, however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power (except as otherwise provided in Section 8.6) of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws.

Section 9.15. Exclusive Forum. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery lacks jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware unless said court lacks subject matter jurisdiction in which case the Superior Court of the State of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim arising under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (a) through (d) above, any claim (A) as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 9.15 will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the preceding sentence is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder, then such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the preceding sentence and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

J-6

4. Confidentiality. Pre-Closing Holder hereby agrees for a period of five (5) years from and after the date hereof to, and to cause its heirs, past, present or future directors, managers, employees, partners, equityholders, agents, attorneys, advisors, representatives, successors, assigns, including, without limitation, any receiver, any assignee for the benefit of creditors or any trustee under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar Law, and Affiliates (collectively, “Representatives”) to: (i) treat and hold in strict confidence any Company Confidential Information, and not use for any purpose (except solely in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Letter of Transmittal, the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document, performing its obligations hereunder or thereunder or enforcing its rights hereunder or thereunder), nor directly or indirectly disclose, distribute, publish, disseminate or otherwise make available to any third party any of the Company Confidential Information without the Company’s and the Parent’s prior written consent (except for (A) for disclosures to Pre-Closing Holder’s Representatives, in each case with a bona fide need to know, provided, that such persons and entities have agreed to the confidentiality restrictions contained herein or (B) if such Company Confidential Information has otherwise been made public other than as a result of a breach by Pre-Closing Holder of its confidentiality obligations under this Letter of Transmittal (including its obligations with respect to Pre-Closing Holder’s Representatives; provided, that Pre-Closing Holder shall be responsible for any disclosure by any such Representative not permitted by this Letter of Transmittal) or pursuant to a separate confidentiality obligation to the Company or Parent); and (ii) in the event that Pre-Closing Holder or any of Pre-Closing Holder’s Representatives becomes legally compelled to disclose (after Pre-Closing Holder or any of Pre-Closing Holder’s Representatives have used their commercially reasonable efforts to avoid such disclosure and after promptly advising and consulting with the Company and Parent about their intention to make, and the proposed contents of, such disclosure) any Company Confidential Information (whether by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process), (1) provide the Company and the Parent with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the Company and the Parent may seek a protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with this Section 4 and (2) in the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Company and the Parent waive compliance with this Section 4, furnish only that portion of such Company Confidential Information that is legally required to be provided or to avoid sanction for contempt or any similar sanction, in each case, as advised in writing by outside counsel, and to exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such Company Confidential Information so disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Pre-Closing Holder is already subject to confidentiality obligations to the Company which are in effect as of the Closing Date which provide that such confidentiality obligations are the sole confidentiality provisions with respect to the Company applicable to Pre-Closing Holder, then those confidentiality obligations will apply to Pre-Closing Holder in lieu of the provisions of this Section 4. “Company Confidential Information” means any and all confidential, proprietary documents, information or trade secret information of or pertaining to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives, their business, or affairs, as well as any and all information entrusted to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives in confidence by third parties, in each case, whether disclosed, directly or indirectly, verbally, in writing or by any other means in tangible or intangible form, including that which is made, created, authored, discovered, developed, invented, conceived, or reduced to practice (“Created”) by Company and/or its Subsidiaries, Pre-Closing Holder, or any of their respective Representatives. Company Confidential Information includes, without limitation, all Company Developments, technical data, trade secrets, know-how, improvements, research, product or service ideas or plans, software (whether in source code or object code), designs, developments, processes, formulas, techniques, materials, specifications, mask works, design, drawings, hardware configuration information, information relating to existing or potential employees, consultants, clients, suppliers, vendors, or other service providers of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its Representatives (including, but not limited to, their names, contact information, jobs, compensation and expertise), information relating to suppliers and customers, servicing methods, equipment, programs, or strategies, information relating to stockholders or lenders, price lists, pricing methodologies, cost data, market share data, marketing plans, licenses, contract information, business plans, financial forecasts, financial statements, profit margins, sales information, historical financial data, budgets or other business information. Confidential Information also means all similar information disclosed to the Company by third parties, which is subject to confidentiality obligations. For purposes hereof, (a) “Development” means any invention, modification, idea, discovery, design, development, improvement, process, software, work of authorship, documentation, formula, data, technique, know-how, trade secret, trademark, technology, or other intellectual property whatsoever or any interest therein (whether or not patentable, copyrightable, or otherwise registrable under similar statutes or subject to analogous protection) (together with all intellectual property rights therein or arising therefrom); and (b) “Company Development” means any Development that Company, solely or jointly with others, Creates, including as such Development relates to or result from the actual or anticipated business, work, products, services, research, or strategies of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its Representatives or which are suggested by, relate to, or result from any task assigned to or performed for the benefit of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its Representatives. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 shall not restrict any Pre-Closing Holder from performing his or her duties as an officer, director or employee of the Company.

J-7

5. Release of Claims. In consideration of the receipt of his, her or its applicable portion of the Merger Consideration (which may be increased to decreased pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Merger Agreement), Pre-Closing Holder, intending to be legally bound, effective as of the Effective Time, for himself, herself or itself and on behalf of all of his, her or its heirs, past, present or future directors, managers, employees, partners, equityholders, agents, attorneys, advisors, representatives, successors, assigns, including, without limitation, any receiver, any assignee for the benefit of creditors or any trustee under the United States Bankruptcy Code or similar Law, and Affiliates (collectively, “Releasors”) hereby releases and discharges the Company and its affiliates and their respective past, present and future directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, “Releasees”) fully, finally and forever, from all and any manner of claims, actions, rights, causes of actions, suits, obligations, liabilities, debts, due sums of money, agreements, promises, damages, judgments, executions, accounts, expenses, costs, attorneys’ fees and demands whatsoever, whether in law, contract or equity, whether known or unknown, matured or unmatured, foreseen or unforeseen, arising out of events existing or occurring contemporaneously with or prior to the Effective Time, in each case, in Pre-Closing Holder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company (or its predecessors) (including whether or not the Merger Consideration Schedule did not accurately reflect the terms of the Company Certificate) or otherwise relating to Pre-Closing Holder’s acquisition, ownership, control or sale of Company Common Stock (including any rights to indemnities from the Company or any of its Affiliates pursuant to any Contract entered into by such Pre-Closing Holder in connection with such issuance); provided, that nothing contained herein shall operate to release any liabilities of a Releasee based upon, arising out of or relating to, without duplication, (i) this Letter of Transmittal and each of the Exhibits hereto, including the Registration Rights Agreement and Stockholder Support Agreement, and any other document required by this Letter of Transmittal, the Merger Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements, (ii) the obligations of any insurer under any insurance policy (including any insurance policy obtained pursuant to Section 5.24 of the Merger Agreement), (iii) any rights to indemnification to the extent provided for (A) in the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof or (B) pursuant to Indemnification Agreement by and between the Pre-Closing Holder and the Company entered into prior to the date hereof, or (iv) any claims, actions, or causes of action that, as a matter of applicable Law, are not waivable. This release may not be altered except in a writing signed by the person or entity against whose interest such change shall operate.

J-8

6. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Letter of Transmittal or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Letter of Transmittal shall continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to the other Persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of Parent and the Pre-Closing Holder. The Pre-Closing Holder further agrees to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Letter of Transmittal with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

7. Governing Law. This Letter of Transmittal shall be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction would be required thereby).

8. Survival. No authority conferred herein or agreed to be conferred will be affected by, and all such authority will survive, the death or incapacity of the Pre-Closing Holder after the execution and delivery of this Letter of Transmittal. All obligations of the Pre-Closing Holder hereunder will be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors, assigns, trustees and other legal representatives of the Pre-Closing Holder.

9. Miscellaneous. The Pre-Closing Holder has read and understands this Letter of Transmittal and its legal consequences and has had adequate opportunity to receive independent legal, tax and/or financial advice with respect to the advisability of executing this Letter of Transmittal. The Pre-Closing Holder voluntarily accepts the terms of this Letter of Transmittal.

At the Effective Time, unless otherwise designated by the Sponsor, the Nominees shall be David Boris and such other Nominee as shall have been designated by the Sponsor in writing.

K-1

(b) The Company shall take all necessary actions within its control, including, but not limited to, calling a meeting of the Board or executing an action by unanimous written consent of the Board, such that, as of the Effective Time, the Nominees shall either be elected by the Company’s stockholders at the meeting held to approve the Transactions or appointed to the Board as of the Effective Time, in each case, as Class I directors (as defined in the Company’s Organizational Documents, each a “Class I Director”) with terms ending at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary (including, without limitation, calling special meetings of the Board and the stockholders of the Company and recommending, supporting and soliciting proxies) (“Necessary Action”) to ensure that: (i) the applicable Nominees are included in the Board’s slate of nominees to the stockholders of the Company for each election of Class I Directors and recommended by the Board at any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing Class I Directors; and (ii) each applicable Nominee up for election is included in the proxy statement prepared by management of the Company in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies or consents in favor of the foregoing for every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to the election of Class I Directors, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company or the Board with respect to the election of Class I Directors.

(e) Notwithstanding any of this Section 1.01 to the contrary, the election or appointment of any Nominee to the Board shall be subject to the prior execution by such Nominee of an irrevocable resignation letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(f) The Company shall indemnify the Nominees who are appointed or elected as Class I Directors on the same basis as all other members of the Board and pursuant to indemnity agreements with terms that are no less favorable to such Nominees than the indemnity agreements entered into between the Company and its other non-employee directors.

(g) Nominees who are appointed or elected as Class I Directors shall be entitled to compensation (including equity awards) that is consistent with the compensation received by other non-employee directors of the Company. In addition, the Company shall pay the reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each such Nominee in connection with his or her services provided to or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including attending Board and committee meetings or events attended on behalf of the Company or at the Company’s request.

In such an event, the Sponsor shall be entitled to select a Person as a replacement Nominee and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause that Person to be nominated as a Nominee at the same meeting (or, if permitted, pursuant to the same action by written consent of the stockholders) as the initial Person was to be nominated.

However, the fact that a Committee member shall fail to qualify as an Eligible Director shall not invalidate any Award granted by the Committee that is otherwise validly granted under the Plan.

(d)  Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award or any documents evidencing Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons or entities, including, without limitation, the Company, any Affiliate, any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award, and any stockholder of the Company.

(e)  No member of the Board, the Committee, delegate of the Committee or any employee or agent of the Company (each such person, an “Indemnifiable Person”) shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken or any determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award hereunder. Each Indemnifiable Person shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnifiable Person in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to which such Indemnifiable Person may be a party or in which such Indemnifiable Person may be involved by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Plan or any Award Agreement and against and from any and all amounts paid by such Indemnifiable Person with the Company’s approval, in settlement thereof, or paid by such Indemnifiable Person in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against such Indemnifiable Person, provided that the Company shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit or proceeding and once the Company gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, the Company shall have sole control over such defense with counsel of the Company’s choice. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be available to an Indemnifiable Person to the extent that a final judgment or other final adjudication (in either case not subject to further appeal) binding upon such Indemnifiable Person determines that the acts or omissions of such Indemnifiable Person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such Indemnifiable Person’s bad faith, fraud or willful criminal act or omission or that such right of indemnification is otherwise prohibited by law or by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such Indemnifiable Persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any other power that the Company may have to indemnify such Indemnifiable Persons or hold them harmless.

(f)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards and administer the Plan with respect to such Awards.

M-1-7

5.  Grant of Awards; Shares Subject to the Plan; Limitations.

(a)  The Committee may, from time to time, grant Awards to one or more Eligible Persons.

(b)  Subject to Section 12 of the Plan, Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) the Committee is authorized to deliver under the Plan an aggregate of 29,200,000 shares of Common Stock; provided, that the total number of shares of Common Stock that will be reserved, and that may be issued, under the Plan will automatically increase on the first trading day of each calendar year, beginning with calendar year 2021, by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to one percent (1%) of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock on the last day of the prior calendar year, and (ii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to an Award granted under the Plan during any single fiscal year to any Participant who is a non-employee director, when taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during such year in respect of his service as a non-employee director (including service as a member or chair of any committee of the Board), shall not exceed $500,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Award based on the Fair Market Value on the Date of Grant of such Award for financial reporting purposes); provided that the non-employee directors who are considered independent (under the rules of NASDAQ or other securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) may make exceptions to this limit for a non-executive chair of the Board, if any, in which case the non-employee director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation. Notwithstanding the automatic annual increase set forth in (i) above, the Board may act prior to January 1st of a given year to provide that there will be no such increase in the share reserve for such year or that the increase in the share reserve for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock than would otherwise occur pursuant to the stipulated percentage.

(c)  In the event that (i) any Option or other Award granted hereunder is exercised through the tendering of Common Stock (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Common Stock by the Company, or (ii) tax or deduction liabilities arising from such Option or other Award are satisfied by the tendering of Common Stock (either actually or by attestation) or by the withholding of Common Stock by the Company, then in each such case the shares of Common Stock so tendered or withheld shall be added to the shares of Common Stock available for grant under the Plan on a one-for-one basis. Shares underlying Awards under this Plan that are forfeited, canceled, expire unexercised, or are settled in cash shall also be available again for issuance as Awards under the Plan.

(d)  Common Stock delivered by the Company in settlement of Awards may be authorized and unissued shares, shares held in the treasury of the Company, shares purchased on the open market or by private purchase, or a combination of the foregoing.

(e)  Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”). The number of shares of Common Stock underlying any Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under the Plan.

6.  Eligibility. Participation shall be limited to Eligible Persons who have entered into an Award Agreement or who have received written notification from the Committee, or from a person designated by the Committee, that they have been selected to participate in the Plan.

M-1-8

7.  Options.

(a)  Generally. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7 and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. All Options granted under the Plan shall be Nonqualified Stock Options unless the applicable Award Agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. Subject to Section 12, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued through the exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan is 29,200,000 shares of Common Stock, and, for the avoidance of doubt, such share limit shall not be subject to the annual adjustment provided in Section 5(b)(i). Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company and its Affiliates, and no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any Eligible Person who is ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Code. No Option shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company in a manner intended to comply with the stockholder approval requirements of Section 422(b)(1) of the Code; provided that any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not fail to be effective solely on account of a failure to obtain such approval, but rather such Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option unless and until such approval is obtained. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the terms and conditions of such grant shall be subject to and comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code. If for any reason an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option or portion thereof shall be regarded as a Nonqualified Stock Option appropriately granted under the Plan.

(b)  Exercise Price. Except with respect to Substitute Awards, the exercise price (“Exercise Price”) per share of Common Stock for each Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share determined as of the Date of Grant (unless such Option is a Nonqualified Stock Option and complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code); provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant of such Option, owns shares representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any related corporation (as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-2(f)), the Exercise Price per share shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share on the Date of Grant and provided further, that, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Exercise Price shall not be less than the par value per share of Common Stock.

(c)  Vesting and Expiration. Options shall vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates determined by the Committee (including, if applicable, the attainment of any Performance Goals, as determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement) and shall expire after such period, not to exceed ten years, as may be determined by the Committee (the “Option Period”); provided, however, that the Option Period shall not exceed five years from the Date of Grant in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who on the Date of Grant owns shares representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any related corporation (as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.422-2(f)); provided, further, that notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any Option, which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of such Option other than with respect to exercisability. In the event of any termination of employment or service with the Company or its Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more Options, the Options shall be exercisable at the time or times and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Agreement. If the Option would expire at a time when the exercise of the Option would violate applicable securities laws, the expiration date applicable to the Option will be automatically extended to a date that is 30 calendar days following the date such exercise would no longer violate applicable securities laws (so long as such extension shall not violate Section 409A of the Code); provided, that in no event shall such expiration date be extended beyond the expiration of the Option Period.

M-1-9

(d)  Method of Exercise and Form of Payment. No Common Stock shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the Exercise Price therefor is received by the Company and the Participant has paid to the Company an amount equal to any taxes required to be withheld or paid upon exercise of such Option. Options that have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Option, accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be payable (i) in cash, check, cash equivalent and/or Common Stock valued at the Fair Market Value at the time the Option is exercised (including, pursuant to procedures approved by the Committee, by means of attestation of ownership of a sufficient number of Common Stock in lieu of actual delivery of such shares to the Company); provided, that, such Common Stock are not subject to any pledge or other security interest and are Mature Shares; and (ii) by such other method as the Committee may permit in accordance with Applicable Law, in its sole discretion, including without limitation: (A) in other property having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price, (B) if there is a public market for the Common Stock at such time, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” pursuant to which the Company is delivered a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Exercise Price, or (C) by a “net exercise” method whereby the Company withholds from the delivery of the shares of Common Stock for which the Option was exercised that number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares of Common Stock for which the Option was exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock, or whether such fractional share of Common Stock or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

(e)  Notification upon Disqualifying Disposition of an Incentive Stock Option. Each Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan shall notify the Company in writing immediately after the date he makes a disqualifying disposition of any Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option. A disqualifying disposition is any disposition (including, without limitation, any sale) of such Common Stock before the later of (i) two years after the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option or (ii) one year after the date of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. The Company may, if determined by the Committee and in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, retain possession of any Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option as agent for the applicable Participant until the end of the period described in the preceding sentence.

(f)  Compliance With Laws, etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a Participant be permitted to exercise an Option in a manner that the Committee determines would violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, if applicable; any other Applicable Law; the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission; or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of the Company are listed or traded.

8.  Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)  Generally. Each SAR granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each SAR so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8 and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. Any Option granted under the Plan may include tandem SARs. The Committee also may award SARs to Eligible Persons independent of any Option.

(b)  Strike Price. The Strike Price per share of Common Stock for each SAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share determined as of the Date of Grant.

M-1-10

(c)  Vesting and Expiration. A SAR granted in connection with an Option shall become exercisable and shall expire according to the same vesting schedule and expiration provisions as the corresponding Option. A SAR granted independent of an Option shall vest and become exercisable and shall expire in such manner and on such date or dates determined by the Committee (including, if applicable, the attainment of any Performance Goals, as shall be determined by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement) and shall expire after such period, not to exceed ten years, as may be determined by the Committee (the “SAR Period”); provided, however, that notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any SAR, which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of such SAR other than with respect to exercisability. In the event of any termination of employment or service with the Company and its Affiliates thereof of a Participant who has been granted one or more SARs, the SARs shall be exercisable at the time or times and subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the Award Agreement (or in the underlying Option Award Agreement, as may be applicable). If the SAR would expire at a time when the exercise of the SAR would violate applicable securities laws, the expiration date applicable to the SAR will be automatically extended to a date that is 30 calendar days following the date such exercise would no longer violate applicable securities laws (so long as such extension shall not violate Section 409A of the Code); provided, that, in no event shall such expiration date be extended beyond the expiration of the SAR Period.

(d)  Method of Exercise. SARs that have become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award, specifying the number of SARs to be exercised and the date on which such SARs were awarded.

(e)  Payment. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the number of shares subject to the SAR that are being exercised, multiplied by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the exercise date over the Strike Price, less an amount equal to any taxes required to be withheld or paid. The Company shall pay such amount in cash, in Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such amount, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock, or whether such fractional share of Common Stock or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.

9.  Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

(a)  Generally. Each grant of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each such grant shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 9 and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement (including the Performance Goals, if any, upon whose attainment the Restricted Period shall lapse in part or full).

(b)  Restricted Accounts; Escrow or Similar Arrangement. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock, a book entry in a restricted account shall be established in the Participant’s name at the Company’s transfer agent and, if the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than held in such restricted account pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (i) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable, and (ii) the appropriate stock power (endorsed in blank) with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and blank stock power within the amount of time specified by the Committee, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 9 and the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends, if applicable, provided that such dividends may be made subject to vesting or other conditions or may be required to be reinvested into additional shares of Restricted Stock, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. To the extent shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited, any share certificates issued to the Participant evidencing such shares shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a stockholder with respect thereto shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company.

M-1-11

(c)  Vesting. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, the unvested portion of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall terminate and be forfeited upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the applicable Award.

(d)  Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.

(i)  Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, the share certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock that have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (rounded down to the nearest full share) or shall register such shares in the Participant’s name without any such restrictions. Dividends, if any, that may have been withheld by the Committee and attributable to any particular share of Restricted Stock shall be distributed to the Participant in cash or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, upon the release of restrictions on such share and, if such share is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such dividends (except as otherwise set forth by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement).

(ii)  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, and subject to any applicable deferral election authorized by the Committee, upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, one share of Common Stock for each such outstanding Restricted Stock Unit; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to (A) pay cash or part cash and part shares of Common Stock in lieu of delivering only Common Stock in respect of such Restricted Stock Units or (B) defer the delivery of Common Stock (or cash or part Common Stock and part cash, as the case may be) beyond the expiration of the Restricted Period if such delivery would result in a violation of Applicable Law until such time as is no longer the case. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Common Stock, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, less an amount equal to any taxes required to be withheld or paid.

10.  Other Stock-Based Awards and Other Cash-Based Awards..

(a)  Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee may grant types of equity-based or equity-related Awards not otherwise described by the terms of the Plan (including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted Common Stock), in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine (including, if applicable, the attainment of any Performance Goals, as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement). Such Other Stock-Based Awards may involve the transfer of actual Common Stock to Participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Common Stock. The terms and conditions of such Awards shall be consistent with the Plan and set forth in the Award Agreement and need not be uniform among all such Awards or all Participants receiving such Awards.

M-1-12

(b)  Other Cash-Based Awards. The Committee may grant a Participant a cash Award not otherwise described by the terms of the Plan, including cash awarded as a bonus or upon the attainment of Performance Goals or otherwise as permitted under the Plan.

(c)  Value of Awards. Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be expressed in terms of shares of Common Stock or units based on Common Stock, as determined by the Committee, and each Other Cash-Based Award shall be expressed in terms of cash. The Committee may establish Performance Goals in its discretion and any such Performance Goals shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If the Committee exercises its discretion to establish Performance Goals, the number and/or value of Other Stock-Based Awards or Other Cash-Based Awards that will be paid out to the Participant will depend on the extent to which such Performance Goals are met.

(d)  Payment of Awards. Payment, if any, with respect to an Other Stock-Based Award or Other Cash-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award, as set forth in the Award Agreement, in cash, Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock, as the Committee determines.

(e)  Vesting. The Committee shall determine the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to receive Other Stock-Based Awards or Other Cash-Based Awards following the Participant’s termination of employment or service (including by reason of such Participant’s death, disability (as determined by the Committee), or termination without Cause). Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and will be included in the applicable Award Agreement but need not be uniform among all Other Stock-Based Awards or Other Cash-Based Awards issued pursuant to the Plan and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for the termination of employment or service.

11.  Dividend Equivalents. Subject to Section 12, no adjustment shall be made in the Common Stock issuable or taken into account under Awards on account of cash dividends that may be paid or other rights that may be issued to the holders of Common Stock prior to issuance of such Common Stock under such Award. The Committee may grant Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on shares of Common Stock that are subject to any Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right). Any Award of Dividend Equivalents may be credited as of the dividend payment dates, during the period between the Date of Grant of the Award and the date the Award becomes payable or terminates or expires, as determined by the Committee; however, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Dividend Equivalents shall not be payable unless and until the Award becomes payable, and shall be subject to forfeiture to the same extent as the underlying Award. Dividend Equivalents may be subject to any additional limitations and/or restrictions determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents shall be payable in cash or Common Stock or converted to full-value Awards, calculated based on such formula as may be determined by the Committee.

12.  Changes in Capital Structure and Similar Events. In the event of  (a) any dividend (other than ordinary cash dividends) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, spin-off, split-up, split-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) that affects the Common Stock, or (b) unusual or infrequently occurring events (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) affecting the Company, any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, accounting principles or law, such that in either case an adjustment is determined by the Committee in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate, then the Committee shall make any such adjustments in such manner as it may deem equitable, subject to the requirements of Sections 409A, 421, and 422 of the Code, if applicable, including without limitation any or all of the following:

(a)  adjusting any or all of  (i) the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) that may be delivered in respect of Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, without limitation, adjusting any or all of the limitations under Section 5 of the Plan) and (ii) the terms of any outstanding Award, including, without limitation, (A) the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate, (B) the Exercise Price or Strike Price with respect to any Award or (C) any applicable performance measures;

(b)  providing for a substitution or assumption of Awards in a manner that substantially preserves the applicable terms of such Awards;

(c)  accelerating the exercisability or vesting of, lapse of restrictions on, or termination of, Awards or providing for a period of time for exercise prior to the occurrence of such event;

(d)  modifying the terms of Awards to add events, conditions or circumstances (including termination of employment within a specified period after a Change in Control) upon which the exercisability or vesting of or lapse of restrictions thereon will accelerate;

(e)  deeming any performance measures satisfied at target, maximum or actual performance through closing or such other level determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, or providing for the performance measures to continue (as is or as adjusted by the Committee) after closing;

(f)  providing that for a period prior to the Change in Control determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, any Options or SARs that would not otherwise become exercisable prior to the Change in Control will be exercisable as to all Common Stock subject thereto (but any such exercise will be contingent upon and subject to the occurrence of the Change in Control and if the Change in Control does not take place after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the exercise will be null and void) and that any Options or SARs not exercised prior to the consummation of the Change in Control will terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the consummation of the Change in Control; and

(g)  canceling any one or more outstanding Awards and causing to be paid to the holders thereof, in cash, Common Stock, other securities or other property, or any combination thereof, the value of such Awards, if any, as determined by the Committee (which if applicable may be based upon the price per share of Common Stock received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in such event), including without limitation, in the case of an outstanding Option or SAR, a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as of a date specified by the Committee) of the Common Stock subject to such Option or SAR over the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike Price of such Option or SAR, respectively (it being understood that, in such event, any Option or SAR having a per share Exercise Price or Strike Price equal to, or in excess of, the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock subject thereto may be canceled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor); provided, however, that in the case of any “equity restructuring” (within the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718), the Committee shall make an equitable or proportionate adjustment to outstanding Awards to reflect such equity restructuring. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

M-1-14

13.  Amendments and Termination.

(a)  Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided that (i) no amendment to Section 13(b) (to the extent required by the proviso in such Section 13(b)) shall be made without stockholder approval and (ii) no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to the Plan (including, without limitation, as necessary to comply with any rules or requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted); provided, further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary.

(b)  Amendment of Award Agreements. The Committee may, to the extent consistent with the terms of any applicable Award Agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted or the associated Award Agreement, prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant, unless the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the amendment is necessary for the Award to comply with Section 409A of the Code; provided, further, that without stockholder approval, except as otherwise permitted under Section 12 of the Plan, (i) no amendment or modification may reduce the Exercise Price of any Option or the Strike Price of any SAR, (ii) the Committee may not cancel any outstanding Option or SAR where the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock underlying such Option or SAR is less than its Exercise Price and replace it with a new Option or SAR, another Award or cash and (iii) the Committee may not take any other action that is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted.

14.  General.

(a)  Award Agreements. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)) and shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto, including, without limitation, the effect on such Award of the death, disability or termination of employment or service of a Participant, or of such other events as may be determined by the Committee. Except as the Plan otherwise provides, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award. The terms of each Award to a Participant need not be identical, and the Committee need not treat Participants or Awards (or portions thereof) uniformly.

(b)  Nontransferability.

(i)  Each Award shall be exercisable only by a Participant during the Participant’s lifetime, or, if permissible under Applicable Law, by the Participant’s legal guardian or representative. No Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or an Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

M-1-15

(ii)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to be transferred by a Participant, without consideration, subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt consistent with any applicable Award Agreement to preserve the purposes of the Plan, to: (A) any person who is a “family member” of the Participant, as such term is used in the instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Immediate Family Members”); (B) a trust solely for the benefit of the Participant and his Immediate Family Members; (C) a partnership or limited liability company whose only partners or stockholders are the Participant and his Immediate Family Members; or (D) any other transferee as may be approved either (I) by the Board or the Committee in its sole discretion, or (II) as provided in the applicable Award Agreement (each transferee described in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above is hereinafter referred to as, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided that the Participant gives the Committee advance written notice describing the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and the Committee notifies the Participant in writing that such a transfer would comply with the requirements of the Plan.

(iii)  The terms of any Award transferred in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to the Permitted Transferee and any reference in the Plan, or in any applicable Award Agreement, to a Participant shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, except that (A) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to transfer any Award, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (B) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to exercise any transferred Option unless there shall be in effect a registration statement on an appropriate form covering the Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Option if the Committee determines, consistent with any applicable Award Agreement, that such a registration statement is necessary or appropriate; (C) the Committee or the Company shall not be required to provide any notice to a Permitted Transferee, whether or not such notice is or would otherwise have been required to be given to the Participant under the Plan or otherwise; and (D) the consequences of the termination of the Participant’s employment by, or services to, the Company or an Affiliate under the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement shall continue to be applied with respect to the Participant, including, without limitation, that an Option shall be exercisable by the Permitted Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods, specified in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

(c)  Tax Withholding and Deductions.

(i)  A Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate, and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to deduct and withhold, from any cash, Common Stock, other securities or other property deliverable under any Award or from any compensation or other amounts owing to a Participant, the amount (in cash, Common Stock, other securities or other property) of any required taxes (up to the maximum statutory rate under Applicable Law as in effect from time to time as determined by the Committee) and deduction in respect of an Award, its grant, vesting or exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee or the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

(ii)  Without limiting the generality of clause (i) above, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing tax and deduction liability by (A) the delivery of shares of Common Stock (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest and are Mature Shares, except as otherwise determined by the Committee) owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value equal to such liability or (B) having the Company withhold from the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the exercise or settlement of the Award a number of shares with a Fair Market Value equal to such liability.

M-1-16

(d)  No Claim to Awards; No Rights to Continued Employment; Waiver. No employee of the Company or an Affiliate, or other person, shall have any Claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of any other Award. A Participant’s sole remedy for any Claim related to the Plan or any Award shall be against the Company, and no Participant shall have any Claim or right of any nature against any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or any stockholder or existing or former director, officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate, nor shall it be construed as giving any Participant any rights to continued service on the Board. The Company or any of its Affiliates may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or any Claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement. By accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant shall thereby be deemed to have waived any Claim to continued exercise or vesting of an Award or to damages or severance entitlement related to non-continuation of the Award beyond the period provided under the Plan or any Award Agreement, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any written employment contract or other agreement between the Company and its Affiliates and the Participant, whether any such agreement is executed before, on or after the Date of Grant.

(e)  International Participants. With respect to Participants who reside or work outside of the United States of America, the Committee may in its sole discretion amend the terms of the Plan or outstanding Awards with respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms with the requirements of local law or to obtain more favorable tax or other treatment for a Participant, the Company or its Affiliates.

(f)  Designation and Change of Beneficiary. To the extent permitted by the Committee, each Participant may file with the Committee a written designation of one or more persons as the beneficiary(ies) who shall be entitled to receive the amounts payable with respect to an Award, if any, due under the Plan upon his death. A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change his beneficiary designation without the consent of any prior beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The last such designation received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided, however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless received by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death, and in no event shall it be effective as of a date prior to such receipt. If no beneficiary designation is filed by a Participant, or if the Committee does not permit beneficiary designations, then the beneficiary shall be deemed to be the Participant’s spouse or, if the Participant is unmarried at the time of death, his estate.

(g)  Termination of Employment/Service. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee at any time following such event: (i) neither a temporary absence from employment or service due to illness, vacation or leave of absence nor a transfer from employment or service with the Company to employment or service with an Affiliate (or vice-versa) shall be considered a termination of employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate; and (ii) if a Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates, but such Participant continues to provide services to the Company and its Affiliates in a non-employee capacity (or vice-versa), such change in status shall not be considered a termination of employment with the Company or an Affiliate.

(h)  No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement, no person shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership in respect of Common Stock or other securities that are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued or delivered to that person.

M-1-17

(i)  Government and Other Regulations.

(i)  The obligation of the Company to settle Awards in Common Stock or other consideration shall be subject to all Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any Common Stock or other securities pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the Company has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the Securities Act any of the Common Stock or other securities to be offered or sold under the Plan. The Committee shall have the authority to provide that all certificates for Common Stock or other securities of the Company or any Affiliate delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, the federal securities laws, or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system upon which such shares or other securities are then listed or quoted and any other applicable federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws, and, without limiting the generality of Section 9 of the Plan, the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee reserves the right to add any additional terms or provisions to any Award granted under the Plan that it in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable in order that such Award complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the Award is subject.

(ii)  The Committee may cancel an Award or any portion thereof if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Company’s acquisition of Common Stock from the public markets, the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or other securities to the Participant, the Participant’s acquisition of Common Stock or other securities from the Company and/or the Participant’s sale of Common Stock to the public markets, illegal, impracticable or inadvisable. If the Committee determines to cancel all or any portion of an Award denominated in Common Stock in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the excess of  (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to such Award or portion thereof that is canceled (determined as of the applicable exercise date, or the date that the shares would have been vested or delivered, as applicable), over (B) the aggregate Exercise Price or Strike Price (in the case of an Option or SAR, respectively) or any amount payable as a condition of delivery of Common Stock (in the case of any other Award). Such amount shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following the cancellation of such Award or portion thereof.

(j)  Payments to Persons Other Than Participants. If the Committee shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such person or his estate (unless a prior Claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his or her spouse, child, relative, an institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the Company therefor.

M-1-18

(k)  Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options or other equity-based awards otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

(l)  No Trust or Fund Created. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate, on the one hand, and a Participant or other person or entity, on the other hand. No provision of the Plan or any Award shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees or service providers under general law.

(m)  Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in acting or failing to act, as the case may be, and shall not be liable for having so acted or failed to act in good faith, in reliance upon any report made by the independent public accountant of the Company and its Affiliates and/or any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any agent of or service provider to the Company or the Committee or the Board, other than himself.

(n)  Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance or other benefit plan of the Company except as otherwise specifically provided in such other plan.

(o)  Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

(p)  Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person or entity or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the Applicable Laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be construed or deemed stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or entity or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

(q)  Obligations Binding on Successors. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the Company.

M-1-19

(r)  Section 409A of the Code.

(i)  Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, all Awards made under this Plan are intended to be exempt from or, in the alternative, comply with Section 409A of the Code and the authoritative guidance thereunder, including the exceptions for stock rights and short-term deferrals. The Plan shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Each payment under an Award shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

(ii)  If a Participant is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code) at the time of his termination of service, no amount that is nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and that becomes payable by reason of such termination of service shall be paid to the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s representative or estate) before the earlier of  (x) the first business day after the date that is six months following the date of the Participant’s termination of service, and (y) within 30 days following the date of the Participant’s death. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, a termination of service shall be deemed to occur only if it is a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and references in the Plan and any Award Agreement to “termination of service” or similar terms shall mean a “separation from service.” If any Award is or becomes subject to Section 409A of the Code, unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, such Award shall be payable upon the Participant’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. If any Award is or becomes subject to Section 409A of the Code and if payment of such Award would be accelerated or otherwise triggered under a Change in Control, then the definition of Change in Control shall be deemed modified, only to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of any additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, to mean a “change in control event” as such term is defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

(iii)  Any adjustments made pursuant to Section 12 to Awards that are subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and any adjustments made pursuant to Section 12 to Awards that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that after such adjustment, the Awards either (x) continue not to be subject to Section 409A of the Code or (y) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

(s)  Notification of Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code. If any Participant, in connection with the acquisition of Common Stock under an Award, makes the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code, if applicable, the Participant shall notify the Company of the election within ten days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service.

(t)  Expenses; Gender; Titles and Headings; Interpretation. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates. Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings shall control. Unless the context of the Plan otherwise requires, words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively; derivative forms of defined terms will have correlative meanings; the terms “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Plan; the term “Section” refers to the specified Section of this Plan and references to “paragraphs” or “clauses” shall be to separate paragraphs or clauses of the Section or subsection in which the reference occurs; the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”; and the word “or” shall be disjunctive but not exclusive

(u)  Other Agreements. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may require, as a condition to the grant of and/or the receipt of Common Stock or other securities under an Award, that the Participant execute lock-up, stockholder or other agreements, as it may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.

M-1-20

(v)  Payments. Participants shall be required to pay, to the extent required by Applicable Law, any amounts required to receive Common Stock or other securities under any Award made under the Plan.

(w)  Clawback; Erroneously Awarded Compensation. All Awards (including on a retroactive basis) granted under the Plan are subject to the terms of any Company forfeiture, incentive compensation recoupment, clawback or similar policy as it may be in effect from time to time, as well as any similar provisions of Applicable Laws, as well as any other policy of the Company that may apply to the Awards, such as anti-hedging or pledging policies, as they may be in effect from time to time. In particular, these policies and/or provisions shall include, without limitation, (i) any Company policy established to comply with Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act), and/or (ii) the rules and regulations of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock or other securities are listed or quoted, and these requirements shall be deemed incorporated by reference into all outstanding Award Agreements.

(x)  No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares or whether fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited, rounded, or otherwise eliminated.

(y)  Paperless Administration. If the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

(z)  Data Privacy. As a condition for receiving any Award, each Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 14(z) by and among the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates exclusively for implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may hold certain personal information about a Participant, including the Participant’s name, address and telephone number; birthdate; social security, insurance number or other identification number; salary; nationality; job title(s); any Common Stock held in the Company or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates; and Award details, to implement, manage and administer the Plan and Awards (the “Data”). The Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may transfer the Data amongst themselves as necessary to implement, administer and manage a Participant’s participation in the Plan, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may transfer the Data to third parties assisting the Company with Plan implementation, administration and management. These recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and the Participant’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the recipients’ country. By accepting an Award, each Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, including any required Data transfer to a broker or other third party with whom the Company or the Participant may elect to deposit any Common Stock. The Data related to a Participant will be held only as long as necessary to implement, administer, and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A Participant may, at any time, view the Data that the Company holds regarding the Participant, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data regarding the Participant, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data regarding the Participant or refuse or withdraw the consents in this Section 14(z) in writing, without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative. The Company may cancel Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Committee’s discretion, the Participant may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Participant refuses or withdraws the consents in this Section 14(z).

M-1-21

(aa) Broker-Assisted Sales. In the event of a broker-assisted sale of Common Stock in connection with the payment of amounts owed by a Participant under or with respect to the Plan or Awards: (a) any Common Stock to be sold through the broker-assisted sale will be sold on the day the payment first becomes due, or as soon thereafter as practicable; (b) the Common Stock may be sold as part of a block trade with other Participants in the Plan in which all participants receive an average price; (c) the applicable Participant will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of sale, and by accepting an Award, each Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale; (d) to the extent the Company or its designee receives proceeds of the sale that exceed the amount owed, the Company will pay the excess in cash to the applicable Participant as soon as reasonably practicable; (e) the Company and its designees are under no obligation to arrange for the sale at any particular price; and (f) if the proceeds of the sale are insufficient to satisfy the Participant’s applicable obligation, the Participant may be required to pay immediately upon demand to the Company or its designee an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy any remaining portion of the Participant’s obligation.

WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 2.11(c) of the Merger Agreement, Parent shall deposit Two Hundred Fifty Thousand (250,000) shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Adjustment Escrow Shares”) and Five Million (5,000,000) shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares”) into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) to be held in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Adjustment Escrow Shares and the Earnout Shares shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder Representative is appointed as the representative, true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent for all of the Stockholders for all purposes set forth therein; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to constitute and appoint the Escrow Agent as escrow agent hereunder, and the Escrow Agent is willing to assume and perform the duties and obligations of the escrow agent pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Appointment. The Parties hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to act as Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2. Deposit, Delivery and Receipt of Escrow Shares; Other Actions.

(a) At the Closing, Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered (unless delivered previously) the Adjustment Escrow Shares and the Earnout Shares to the Escrow Agent, to be held in the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent will hold the Adjustment Escrow Shares and the Earnout Shares, together with any dividend or other distribution paid on such Adjustment Escrow Shares or Earnout Shares, as applicable (the “Escrow Dividends”), in escrow for the Stockholder Representative, or the Parent, as applicable, and will administer and disburse the Adjustment Escrow Shares, the Earnout Shares and the Escrow Dividends, if any, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

(b) The Escrow Agent will hold the Adjustment Escrow Shares and the Earnout Shares as a book-entry position registered in the name of “Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement, dated [●], 2021” until (i) any such Adjustment Escrow Shares are to be (x) released to the Stockholders Representative for further delivery to the Stockholders, or (y) otherwise released to Parent, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, or (ii) any such Earnout Shares are to be (x) released to the Stockholders Representative for further delivery to the Stockholders, or (y) otherwise released to Parent, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

(c) When all or any portion of the Adjustment Escrow Shares or the Earnout Shares are required to be released under the Merger Agreement, the Parties and Sponsor shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the security procedures set forth in Section 11 and executed by Parent, the Stockholder Representative and Sponsor (a “Release Notice”). The Parties agree that neither the Adjustment Escrow Shares nor the Earnout Shares shall be subject to attachment by any creditor (including any creditor of any party to the Merger Agreement).

(d) The Escrow Agent does not own or have any interest in the Adjustment Escrow Shares or the Earnout Shares or any Escrow Dividends, but is serving as escrow holder, having only possession thereof and agreeing to hold and distribute the Adjustment Escrow Shares or the Earnout Shares and any Escrow Dividends in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(e) With respect to the Adjustment Escrow Shares, Parent shall retain all voting and economic rights with respect to such Adjustment Escrow Shares while such Adjustment Escrow Shares remain deposited with the Escrow Agent for so long as such Adjustment Escrow Shares are held by the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall vote the Adjustment Escrow Shares solely as directed in writing by Parent.

N-2

(f) Any Escrow Dividends shall be distributed to and held by the Escrow Agent, and shall be disbursed by the Escrow Agent together with and when the Adjustment Escrow Shares or the Earnout Shares, as applicable, on which such Escrow Dividend was distributed are released, to the same person or entity to whom such Adjustment Escrow Shares or Earnout Shares, as applicable, are released in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any release or distribution of the Adjustment Escrow Shares or the Earnout Shares in accordance with this Agreement shall also be understood to include a distribution of the Escrow Dividends, if any, with respect to such released Adjustment Escrow Shares or Earnout Shares.

(g) Unless otherwise instructed in writing jointly by the Parties, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Dividends in a “noninterest-bearing deposit account” insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to the applicable limits.

(h) The Escrow Agent shall have no duty, responsibility or obligation to invest any Escrow Dividends held by it hereunder other than in accordance with this Section 2.

3. Release Notices.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall disburse the Adjustment Escrow Shares and the Earnout Shares only in accordance with the Release Notice. Each such Release Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the event giving rise to the requested release and the specific release instructions with respect thereto (including the number of Adjustment Escrow Shares or Earnout Shares to be released and the identity of the person to whom they should be released).

(b) If the Adjustment Escrow Shares or the Earnout Shares are to be released to the Stockholders (as opposed to a release to Parent), the specified number of Adjustment Escrow Shares or Earnout Shares, as applicable, (and the applicable portion of the Escrow Dividends) shall be released to the Stockholder Representative for further delivery to the applicable Stockholders as specified by the Stockholder Representative in the Release Notice (in which case, Parent shall have no liability for the accuracy of, or compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, or any other document, of such instructions).

(c) If the Merger Agreement requires that all or any portion of the Adjustment Escrow Shares or the Earnout Shares are to be released to Parent, then the Release Notice shall specify the number of Adjustment Escrow Shares and the Earnout Shares, as applicable, to be released to Parent (and the applicable portion of the Escrow Dividends).

(d) In the event an equitable adjustment is required under Section 4(c) below, any Release Notice shall also include reasonably detailed information with respect to such equitable adjustment.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, then, as between Parent and the Stockholder Representative, the terms of the Merger Agreement shall control and the aforementioned parties shall use reasonable best efforts to effect an amendment to this Agreement (including to Section 4 below).

(f) Within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of any Release Notice and subject to the receipt of required documentation for compliance with applicable anti-money laundering requirements, the Escrow Agent shall release and deliver to the person or persons designated in the applicable Release Notice the number of Adjustment Escrow Shares or Earnout Shares set forth in such Release Notice by transfer of the relevant Adjustment Escrow Shares or Earnout Shares into the securities accounts designated in such Release Notice.

(g) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and be held harmless for such reliance, on any Release Notice for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith by it. The Escrow Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether a release event has occurred or is contemplated to occur under the Merger Agreement, this Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 4), or any other document.

(h) For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than (a) a Saturday or a Sunday; (b) a day on which banking and savings and loan institutions are authorized or required by Law to be closed in New York City, New York; or (c) the location of the Escrow Agent’s offices in Section 10 are authorized or required by law to close.

4. Disbursement and Termination. The Parties shall act in accordance with, and the Escrow Agent shall hold and release the Adjustment Escrow Shares or the Earnout Shares as follows:

(a) Earnout Release. If, during the thirty-six (36) month period following the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”), the closing price per share of Parent Common Stock on any twenty (20) trading days in any thirty (30) consecutive day trading period (i) equals or exceeds Fourteen Dollars ($14.00) (the “First Share Price Trigger”), or (ii) equals or exceeds Sixteen Dollars ($16.00) (the “Second Share Price Trigger” and, together with the First Share Price Trigger, each a “Share Price Trigger” and collectively, the “Share Price Triggers”) then, for each Share Price Trigger that is achieved, Two Million Five Hundred Thousand (2,500,000) shares of Parent Common Stock will be released from the Escrow Account. Upon receipt of a Release Notice with respect to any Earnout Shares, the Escrow Agent shall, promptly after receipt of such Release Notice, disburse such Earnout Shares to the Stockholder Representative, as applicable, in accordance with such Release Notice.

N-4

(i) If, during the Earnout Period, there is a qualifying Change of Control in accordance with Section 2.10 of the Merger Agreement, then any Earnout Release that has not previously been released from escrow to the Stockholder Representative (whether or not previously earned) shall be deemed earned (and the applicable Share Price Trigger(s) achieved, as applicable), and Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly deliver a Release Notice directing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account to Stockholder Representative a number of shares equal to the remaining Earnout Release(s) within ten (10) Business Days following the date of such qualifying Change of Control.

(ii) If, during the Earnout Period, there is a Final Determination in accordance with Section 2.10 of the Merger Agreement that the Stockholders are entitled to receive an Earnout Release, then Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly deliver a Release Notice directing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account to Stockholder Representative a number of shares equal to such Earnout Release within ten (10) Business Days following the date on which the applicable Share Price Trigger was met or exceeded.

(iii) If, pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Merger Agreement, it is finally determined that the Stockholders are not entitled to or eligible to receive any further Earnout Releases, Parent and Stockholder Representative shall jointly direct the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account to Parent for immediate cancellation of all such Earnout Shares that have not been released.

(b) Escrow Termination Date. Subject to the provisions of Section 8, this Agreement shall terminate after all of the Adjustment Escrow Shares and the Earnout Shares and Escrow Dividends have been released from the Escrow Account.

(c) Records. The Escrow Agent shall keep proper books of record and account in which full and correct entries shall be made of all release activity in the Escrow Account.

5. Escrow Agent.

(a) The Escrow Agent shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly provided herein, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall not have any fiduciary, partnership or joint venture relationship with any Party or any other person or entity arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of, nor have any requirements to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument or document among the Parties, in connection herewith, if any, including without limitation the Merger Agreement, nor shall the Escrow Agent be required to determine if any person or entity has complied with any such agreements, nor shall any additional obligations of the Escrow Agent be inferred from the terms of such agreements, even though reference thereto may be made in this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement, those of the Merger Agreement, any schedule or exhibit attached to this Agreement, or any other agreement among the Parties, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern and control in all respects relating to the Escrow Agent, but in every other respect involving the parties and beneficiaries of any such other agreement, the other agreement shall control.

N-5

(c) The Escrow Agent may rely upon, and shall not be liable for acting or refraining from acting upon, any Release Notice or other written notice, document, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Party or Parties without inquiry and without requiring substantiating evidence of any kind. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any Party, any beneficiary, or other person or entity for refraining from acting upon any Release Notice or other written notice, document, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or related to the transfer or distribution of the Adjustment Escrow Shares or the Earnout Shares, or any portion thereof, unless such Release Notice or other written notice, document, instruction or notice shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 11 below and the Escrow Agent has been able to satisfy any applicable security procedures as may be required hereunder and as set forth in Section 11. The Escrow Agent shall not be under any duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document, notice, instruction or request. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any receipt of the Adjustment Escrow Shares or the Earnout Shares which may be due to it or the Escrow Account, nor shall the Escrow Agent have any duty or obligation to confirm or verify the accuracy or correctness of any number or class of Adjustment Escrow Shares or Earnout Shares deposited with it hereunder.

(d) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Escrow Agent’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct was the primary cause of any loss to either Party. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through affiliates or agents, and the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by any such attorney or agent in good faith, absent fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (each as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) in the selection and continued employment thereof. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with, or in reasonable reliance upon, the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain or believe there is some ambiguity as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any Party which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action, and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be given a direction in writing by the Parties which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Escrow Agent or by a final and non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent practicable, the Parties agree to pursue any redress or recourse in connection with any dispute arising under the Merger Agreement (other than with respect to a dispute involving the Escrow Agent) without making the Escrow Agent a party to the same. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

N-6

6. Succession.

(a) The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations hereunder by giving thirty (30) days advance notice (pursuant to Section 10) in writing of such resignation to the Parties specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect. By delivery of joint written instructions by the Parties to the Escrow Agent, the Parties shall have the right to terminate their appointment of the Escrow Agent, or successor escrow agent, as Escrow Agent, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Escrow Agent. If the Escrow Agent shall resign, be removed or otherwise become incapable of acting, the Parties shall appoint a successor to be the Escrow Agent. If the Parties have failed to appoint a successor escrow agent prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after giving notice of such removal or following the receipt of the notice of resignation or incapacity, the Escrow Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent within the relevant jurisdiction or for other appropriate relief, and any such resulting appointment shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto. The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after such thirty (30) day notice period expires shall be to hold the Adjustment Escrow Shares and the Earnout Shares (without any obligation to reinvest the same) and to deliver the same to a designated substitute escrow agent as jointly instructed in writing by the Parties, if any, or in accordance with the directions of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, at which time of delivery, the Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to withhold monies or property in an amount equal to any amount due and then owing to the Escrow Agent, plus any costs and expenses the Escrow Agent shall reasonably believe may be incurred by the Escrow Agent that the Parties are obligated to indemnify or reimburse the Escrow Agent for pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the termination of this Agreement, so long as the Escrow Agent has previously submitted a written invoice in respect thereof to the Parties that the Parties have not paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of such invoice.

N-7

(b) Any entity into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity to which all or substantially all the escrow business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Agreement without further action on the part of any party hereto. The Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Parties in the event this occurs.

(c) Every successor escrow agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor, and also to the Parties, an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor escrow agent, without any further action, shall become fully vested with all the rights, immunities and powers and shall be subject to all of the duties and obligations, of its predecessor; and every predecessor escrow agent shall deliver all property and moneys held by it hereunder to such successor escrow agent, at which time of delivery the Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 8.

7. Compensation and Reimbursement. Parent agrees to (a) pay the Escrow Agent upon execution of this Agreement, and from time to time thereafter, all reasonable compensation for the services to be rendered hereunder by the Escrow Agent as described in Schedule 2 attached hereto, and (b) pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for all reasonable, out-of-pocket and documented expenses, disbursements and advances, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred or made by it in connection with the performance, modification and termination of this Agreement.

8. Indemnity.

(a) Subject to Section 8(c) below, the Escrow Agent shall be liable for any and all losses, damages, claims, costs, charges, penalties and related interest, counsel fees and expenses, payments, expenses and liability (collectively, “Losses”), only to the extent such Losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a result of its own fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; provided, however, that any liability of the Escrow Agent will be limited in the aggregate to the aggregate value of the Adjustment Escrow Shares, the Earnout Shares and the Earnout Dividends deposited with the Escrow Agent.

(b) The Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against, and the Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for, any and all Losses arising out of or attributable to the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement or this appointment, including the reasonable, out-of-pocket and documented costs and expenses of defending itself against any Losses or enforcing this Agreement (collectively, “Agent Claims”), except to the extent that such Losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a result of the Escrow Agent’s own fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as provided in Section 7, as between themselves, the Parties agree that any Agent Claims payable hereunder shall be paid (or reimbursed, as applicable): (a) in the case that the Agent Claim is not attributable to actions or inactions of any particular Party, by Parent; and (b) in the event that the Agent Claim is attributable to the actions or inactions of a certain Party, by such Party (and such Party shall reimburse the other Parties, in the event that such other Party(ies) has made indemnification payments under this Section 8(b) in respect of such Agent Claim).

N-8

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Parties or the Escrow Agent shall be liable for any incidental, punitive, indirect, special or consequential damages of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, loss of anticipated profits, occasioned by a breach of any provision of this Agreement even if apprised of the possibility of such damages.

(d) In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Section 8 shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which one party may be required to indemnify the other, the party seeking indemnification shall promptly notify the other party of such assertion in writing after it becomes aware, and shall keep the other party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim; provided, that failure to give prompt notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action has been materially prejudiced by the indemnified party’s failure to timely give such notice. The indemnifying party shall have the option to participate with the indemnified party in the defense of such claim or to defend against said claim in its own name or the name of the indemnified party unless such claim is (i) brought by the indemnified party or (ii) the indemnified party reasonably determines that there may be a conflict of interest between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party in the defense of such claim and the indemnified party does in fact assume the defense. The indemnified party shall in no case confess any claim, make any compromise or take any action adverse to the indemnifying party in any case in which the indemnifying party may be required to indemnify it, except with the indemnifying party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8 shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent for any reason.

9. Patriot Act Disclosure/Taxpayer Identification Numbers/Tax Reporting.

(a) Patriot Act Disclosure. Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) requires the Escrow Agent to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Escrow Agent’s identity verification procedures require the Escrow Agent to obtain applicable information which is required to confirm the Parties’ identity including without limitation name, address and organizational documents (collectively, “Identifying Information”). The Parties agree to provide the Escrow Agent with and consent to the Escrow Agent obtaining from third parties any Identifying Information required as a condition of opening an account with or using any service provided by the Escrow Agent for the purposes of this Agreement.

N-9

(b) Certification and Tax Reporting. The Parties have provided, or promptly following the date hereof will provide, the Escrow Agent with their respective fully executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8 or Form W-9, as applicable. The Escrow Agent shall make such reports to the applicable tax authorities as directed by Parent and shall have no obligation under this Agreement to make any other reports with respect to taxes. If required by law, the Escrow Agent shall withhold any taxes it deems appropriate in the absence of proper tax documentation or as required by law, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities.

10. Notices. All notices, demands and other communications given pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof shall be in writing, except for communications from the Parties setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or in any way related to the transfer or distribution of funds, including but not limited to funds transfer instructions (all of which shall be specifically governed by Section 11 below), shall be deemed effective on the date of receipt, and may be sent by:

(a) by facsimile or other electronic submission (including e-mail);

(b) by overnight courier or delivery service; or

11. Security Procedures.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary as set forth in this Agreement, any instructions setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or in any way related to the transfer or distribution of the Adjustment Escrow Shares or the Earnout Shares, including but not limited to any such instructions that may otherwise be set forth in a Release Notice or other written notice, document, instruction or request permitted pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, may be given to the Escrow Agent only by confirmed facsimile or other electronic transmission (including e-mail) and no instruction for or related to the transfer or distribution of the Adjustment Escrow Shares or the Earnout Shares, or any portion thereof, shall be deemed delivered and effective unless the Escrow Agent actually shall have received such instruction by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including e-mail) at the number or e-mail address provided to the Parties by the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 10 and as further evidenced by a confirmed transmittal to that number or e-mail address.

N-11

(b) In the event transfer instructions are so received by the Escrow Agent by facsimile or other electronic submission (including e-mail), the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule 1 hereto, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. If the Escrow Agent is unable to reach the Stockholder Representative after a reasonable amount of time, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized both to receive written instructions from and seek written confirmation of such instructions by any one or more of Parent’s executive officers (“Executive Officers”), as the Escrow Agent may select. Such Executive Officer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed incumbency certificate, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer as confirmation on behalf of the Stockholder Representative.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Escrow Agent shall only deliver or distribute the Adjustment Escrow Shares and the Earnout Shares upon receipt of and in accordance with the delivery instructions set forth in the applicable Release Notice.

(d) The Parties acknowledge that the security procedures set forth in this Section 11 are commercially reasonable.

12. Compliance with Court Orders. In the event that any escrow or trust property shall be attached, garnished or levied upon by any court order, or the delivery thereof shall be stayed or enjoined by an order of a court, or any order, judgment or decree shall be made or entered by any court affecting the property deposited under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent is hereby expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to obey and comply with all writs, orders, judgments or decrees so entered or issued, which it is advised by legal counsel of its own choosing is binding upon it, whether with or without jurisdiction, and in the event that the Escrow Agent obeys or complies with any such writ, order, judgment or decree, it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person, entity, firm or corporation, by reason of such compliance notwithstanding such writ, order or decree be subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated.

13. Miscellaneous.

(a) Amendment. Except for transfer instructions as provided in Section 11, the provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, amended or supplemented, in whole or in part, only by a writing signed by the parties hereto, including Sponsor.

N-12

(b) Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right, obligation or interest hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part by any party hereto, except as provided in Section 6, without the prior written consent of all of the other parties hereto; provided that Sponsor may transfer and assign this Agreement and its rights, obligations and interests hereunder to Marshall Kiev, David Boris or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the dissolution or other winding up of Sponsor.

(c) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of law (including conflicts of law) that will require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens, lack of jurisdiction or any similar grounds and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and consents to the jurisdiction of any court of the State of New York or United States federal court located in the State of New York. The parties to this Agreement further hereby waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Agreement.

(d) Force Majeure. No party to this Agreement is liable to any other party hereto for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts reasonably beyond its control including, without limitation, acts of God, fire, terrorism, disease, pandemic, floods, strikes, shortage of supply, breakdowns or malfunctions, interruptions or malfunction of computer facilities, or loss of data due to power failures or mechanical difficulties with information storage or retrieval systems, labor difficulties, war, or civil unrest; provided, that the Escrow Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable. If any such act occurs, then the Escrow Agent shall give, as promptly as practicable, written notice to the Parties, stating the nature of such act and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect.

(e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. All signatures of the parties to this Agreement may be transmitted by facsimile or pdf (including via e-mail). A signature to this Agreement transmitted electronically shall have the same authority, effect, and enforceability as an original signature, and will be binding and effective upon such party when a counterpart shall have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto.

(f) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable by reason of any applicable law of a jurisdiction, then the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

N-13

(g) Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The table of contents and headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience of reference purposes only and shall not affect or be deemed to affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any term or provision hereof. All references to currency, monetary values and dollars set forth herein shall mean U.S. dollars. The Parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

(h) Enforcement, Remedies and Compliance. A person or entity who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right to enforce any term of this Agreement. Each Party represents, warrants and covenants that each document, notice, instruction or request provided by such Party to the Escrow Agent shall comply with applicable laws and regulations. Where, however, the conflicting provisions of any such applicable law may be waived, they are hereby irrevocably waived by the parties hereto to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the end that this Agreement shall be enforced as written. Except as expressly provided in Section 8 above, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any person or entity other than the Escrow Agent and the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, interest or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any funds escrowed hereunder. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as between the applicable Parties in the Merger Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereto will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(i) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY HERETO WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE SUCH WAIVER, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 13(i).

N-14

(j) Publicity. Except as may be required by applicable law (including securities laws), court order, regulatory authority (including a securities authority) or as shall be required or desirable to be presented by a party to any tax authority of such party, none of the parties hereto shall disclose, issue a news release, public announcement, advertisement, or other form of publicity concerning the existence of this Agreement or the services to be provided hereunder without obtaining the prior written approval of the other parties hereto, which may be withheld in the other parties’ sole discretion; provided that the Escrow Agent may use Parent’s name in its customer lists or otherwise as required by applicable law or regulation.

(k) Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Agreement by or for the benefit of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns hereunder.

(l) Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to benefit only the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. No rights shall be granted to any other person or entity by virtue of this Agreement, and there are no third party beneficiaries hereof.

(m) Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all provisions regarding indemnification, liability and limits thereon, compensation and expenses (with respect to any fees or expenses payable in respect of the period preceding the termination or expiry of this Agreement) and confidentiality shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 8, Section 6, Section 7 (with respect to any outstanding fees or expenses payable in respect of the period preceding the termination or expiry of this Agreement) and Section 13 shall survive termination of this Agreement or the resignation, replacement or removal of the Escrow Agent for any reason.

(n) Merger of Agreement. This Agreement together with the Merger Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto related to the Adjustment Escrow Shares and the Earnout Shares and supersedes any prior agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written.

(o) No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by all parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Subscription Agreement”) is entered into on December 10, 2020, by and between Forum Merger III Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Electric Last Mile, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ELMS”), ELMS Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation, and the other parties thereto, providing for the combination of the Company and ELMS (the “Merger Agreement” and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transaction”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Company, immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, that number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Subscribed Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Price” and the aggregate of such Per Share Price for all Subscribed Shares being referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”), and the Company desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Subscribed Shares in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price by or on behalf of Subscriber to the Company; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Other Subscribers” and together with Subscriber, the “Subscribers”) substantially similar to this Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which such investors have agreed to purchase on the closing date of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”), inclusive of the Subscribed Shares, an aggregate amount of up to 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock, at the Per Share Price (the shares of the Other Subscribers, the “Other Subscribed Shares” and together with the Subscribed Shares, the “Collective Subscribed Shares”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as defined below), Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Subscribed Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”).

2. Closing.

a. The consummation of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction and is contingent upon the subsequent occurrence of the closing of the Transaction.

b. At least five (5) Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) specifying (i) the anticipated Closing Date and (ii) the wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price to the Company. No later than two (2) Business Days after receiving the Closing Notice, Subscriber shall deliver to the Company such information as is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the Company to issue the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber. Subscriber shall deliver to the Company, on or prior to 8:00 a.m. (Eastern time) (or as soon as practicable after the Company or its transfer agent delivers evidence of the issuance to Subscriber of the Subscribed Shares on and as of the Closing Date) on the Closing Date, the Purchase Price in cash via wire transfer to the account specified in the Closing Notice against (and concurrently with) delivery by the Company to Subscriber of (i) the Subscribed Shares in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or state or federal securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by Subscriber, as applicable, and (ii) written notice from the Company or its transfer agent evidencing the issuance to Subscriber of the Subscribed Shares on and as of the Closing Date. In the event that the consummation of the Transaction does not occur within one (1) Business Day after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice) return the funds so delivered by Subscriber to the Company by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber. For the purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is closed.

c. The Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver by the Company, on the one hand, or Subscriber, on the other, of the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

(i) no suspension of the qualification of the Subscribed Shares for offering or sale or trading in any jurisdiction, or initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes, shall have occurred;

(ii) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction set forth in the Merger Agreement, including all necessary approval of the Company’s stockholders and regulatory approvals, if any, shall have been satisfied or waived, and the closing of the Transaction shall be scheduled to occur concurrently with or immediately following the Closing; and

(iii) no governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and no such governmental authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition.

d. The obligation of the Company to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver by the Company of the additional conditions that, on the Closing Date:

(i) all representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Subscriber Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Subscriber Material Adverse Effect, which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) as of such earlier date); and

2 

(ii) Subscriber shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing.

e. The obligation of Subscriber to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver by Subscriber of the additional conditions that, on the Closing Date:

(i) all representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date);

(ii) the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing; and

(iii) there shall have been no amendment, waiver or modification to the Merger Agreement that materially and adversely affects the Company, including any amendment or waiver of any representation or covenant of the Company or ELMS relating to the financial position or outstanding indebtedness of the Company or ELMS.

f. Prior to or at the Closing, Subscriber shall deliver to the Company a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8.

5. Registration of Subscribed Shares.

a. The Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, the Company will submit to or file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof,, but in any event no later than the earlier of (1) forty-five (45) calendar days following the Closing Date (or seventy-five (75) calendar days after the Closing Date if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided by, the Commission) and (2) the second (2nd) business day after the date the Company is notified in writing by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review at least two (2) business days in advance of the filing of the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Subscribed Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Subscribed Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Subscribed Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Subscribed Shares to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. The Company agrees that the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective until the earlier of (i) three years from the issuance of the Subscribed Shares, (ii) the date on which all of the Subscribed Shares shall have been sold, or (iii) the first date on which Subscriber can sell all of its Subscribed Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the removal of all restrictive legends from any Registrable Securities (as defined below) being sold under the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 at the time of sale of such Registrable Securities and, at the request of a Holder (as defined below), cause the removal of all restrictive legends from any Registrable Securities held by such Holder that may be sold by such Holder without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions, and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i) upon the receipt of such supporting documentation, if any, as reasonably requested by such counsel. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, reasonably necessary to enable Holder to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144, as applicable, qualify the Registrable Securities for listing on the applicable stock exchange and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include Registrable Securities. “Registrable Securities” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Subscribed Shares and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Subscribed Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, provided, however, that such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities at the earliest of (A) four (4) years, (B) the date all Subscribed Shares held by a Holder may be sold by such Holder without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), (C) the date on which such securities have actually been sold by a Holder, or (D) when such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding. “Holder” shall mean the Subscriber or any affiliate of the Subscriber to which the rights under this Section 5 shall have been assigned. Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of Subscribed Shares to the Company (or its successor) upon reasonable request to assist the Company in making the determination described above. The Company’s obligations to include the Subscribed Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Subscribed Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations provided that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Subscribed Shares. Subscriber shall not be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of Subscribed Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Company may delay filing, postpone effectiveness or suspend the use of the Registration Statement if it determines that, in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly or annual report under the Exchange Act, or if such filing, effectiveness or use would materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that would materially adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that, (i) the Company shall not so delay filing, postpone effectiveness, or suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than forty-five (45) consecutive days or more than two (2) times in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and (ii) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Registration Statement available for the sale by Subscriber of its Subscribed Shares as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality) of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will promptly discontinue offers and sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. For as long as the Subscriber holds Subscribed Shares, the Company shall file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the Subscriber to resell the Subscribed Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Subscribers).

12 

b. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, agents and employees of Subscriber, each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein or that Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information. The Company shall notify Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 5 of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Shares by Subscriber. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

c. Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber in the offering contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Subscriber indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

13 

d. Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

e. The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

f. If the indemnification provided under this Section 5 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, the liability of the Investor shall be limited the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 5, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 5(f) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

14 

6. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of the Company and Subscriber to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if, on the Closing Date of the Transaction, any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2 of this Subscription Agreement have not been satisfied as of the time required hereunder to be so satisfied or waived by the party entitled to grant such waiver and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated, or (d) June 30, 2021 (the “Outside Date”), if the Closing has not occurred by such date; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any Party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each Party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Merger Agreement promptly after the termination thereof.

For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby (a) agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Subscription Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”), (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Company, and (c) will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever; provided however, that nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to limit any Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of such Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of securities of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including but not limited to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Company or any Subscriber’s right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation in respect of Common Stock of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or any Other Subscriber or investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and any Other Subscribers or other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and any Other Subscribers or other investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection with monitoring its investment in the Subscribed Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

Note Series:	CN-2020
Date of Note:	December 10, 2020
Principal Amount of Note:	$

For value received Electric Last Mile, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to the undersigned holder or such party’s assigns (the “Holder”) on the Maturity Date (as defined below), the principal amount set forth above with interest on the outstanding principal amount at the rate of 0.15% per annum. Interest shall accrue from the date hereof and shall continue on the outstanding principal amount until paid in full or converted. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed. Unpaid interest shall be payable by capitalizing it and adding it to (and thereby increasing) the outstanding principal balance under this Note on each anniversary of the date of this Note (“PIK Interest”). If this Note remains outstanding as of June 10, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”), then all unpaid principal and unpaid accrued interest (including PIK Interest) on the Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Certain capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 2(f) below.

1. Basic Terms.

(a) Series of Notes. This convertible promissory note (the “Note”) is issued as part of a series of notes designated by the Note Series above (collectively, the “Notes”) and issued in a series of multiple closings to certain persons and entities (collectively, the “Holders”) in an aggregate amount of up to $25.0 million principal amount of Notes. The Company shall maintain a ledger of all Holders.

(b) Payments. PIK Interest shall be paid by increasing the outstanding principal balance of this Note as set forth above. All payments shall be applied first to accrued interest, and thereafter to principal, and shall be made on a pro rata basis among all Holders.

(c) Prepayment. The Company may not prepay this Note prior to the Maturity Date without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (the “Majority Holders”); provided that any prepayment of this Note may only be made in connection with the prepayment of all Notes on a pro rata basis, based on the respective aggregate outstanding principal amount of each such Note.

2. Conversion.

(a) Mandatory Conversion upon Certain Business Combinations. In the event that the Company is involved in a business combination transaction (whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions) that results in common shares of the Company, its successor or a new parent company or other entity that owns or controls the Company (the “Surviving Entity Stock”) being listed on a national securities exchange (a “Qualified Business Combination”), then, upon the closing of the Qualified Business Combination, the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest (including PIK Interest) shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into Surviving Entity Stock at a conversion price equal to the product of (i) the Business Combination Conversion Price, multiplied by (ii) 0.90909; provided that in the event that a new parent company involved in such business combination transaction issues and sells shares of its equity securities (“ParentCo Equity Securities”) to investors (“Investors”) in a PIPE Transaction, the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest (including PIK Interest) shall instead, upon such new parent company’s consent and entry into a joinder to this Note, convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into the same class and type of ParentCo Equity Securities at a conversion price equal to the product of (i) the Business Combination Conversion Price, multiplied by (ii) 0.90909. The Company shall obtain such new parent company’s consent and cause such new parent company to enter into such joinder, which such joinder shall provide for registration rights of the same form and manner as those provided to Investors in the applicable PIPE Transaction.

(b) Automatic Conversion upon Initial Public Offering. In the event the Company consummates, on or before the Maturity Date, an IPO, then, upon the closing of the IPO, the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any unpaid accrued interest (including PIK Interest) shall automatically convert in whole without any further action by the Holder into the same class and series of equity securities of the Company (“Equity Securities”) sold in the IPO at a conversion price equal to the product of (i) the initial public offering price per share of the Equity Securities sold in the IPO, multiplied by (ii) 0.90909.

(c) Notice of Conversion. In the event of any conversion pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), the Company shall notify each Holder of the conversion at least 5 business days prior to the closing of the Qualified Business Combination or IPO, as applicable. Such notice shall specify the Equity Securities (or, in the case of a Qualified Business Combination, shares of Surviving Entity Stock or ParentCo Equity Securities, as applicable) into which this Note shall be converted, the principal amount of the Note to be converted, the amount of accrued interest (including PIK Interest) to be converted, and the date on which such conversion will occur.

(d) Procedure for Conversion. In connection with any conversion of this Note into capital stock, the Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company or its successor in the case of a Qualified Business Combination (or any designee of the Company or its successor, including a third party transfer agent) and deliver to the Company or its successor (or the designee of either of them) any documentation reasonably required by the Company or such successor or transfer agent. The Company or its successor shall not be required to issue or deliver the capital stock into which this Note may convert until the Holder has surrendered this Note to the Company or its successor or designee and delivered to the Company or its successor or designee any such documentation. Upon the conversion of this Note into capital stock pursuant to the terms hereof, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company or its successor shall pay the Holder cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the price at which this Note converts. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total amount of principal and interest the Holder is at the time converting into capital stock, including in connection with the conversion of any other Notes held by such Holder, and the aggregate number of shares of capital stock issuable upon such conversion.

2 

(e) Interest Accrual. If a Qualified Business Combination or IPO is consummated, all interest on this Note shall be deemed to have stopped accruing as of a date selected by the Company that is up to 10 days prior to the closing of such Qualified Business Combination or IPO, as applicable.

The Company has the requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted. The Company is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

(ii) Corporate Power. The Company has all requisite corporate power to issue this Note and to carry out and perform its obligations under this Note.

3 

(iii) Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Company’s stockholders necessary for the issuance and delivery of this Note and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder has been taken (other than any corporate action required in connection with the authorization and issuance of any securities of the Company that may be issued upon conversion of this Note (the “Conversion Securities”)). This Note constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, the relief of debtors and, with respect to rights to indemnity, subject to federal and state securities laws. The Conversion Securities, when issued in compliance with the provisions of this Note, will be validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable, free of any liens or encumbrances and issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

(iv) Governmental Consents. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Holder, all consents, approvals, orders or authorizations of, or registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filings with, any governmental authority required on the part of the Company in connection with issuance of this Note have been made or obtained, except for filings pursuant to applicable securities laws.

(v) Capitalization. The authorized capital of the Company consists:

(1) As of the date hereof, of 200,000 shares of common stock, 100,000 of which are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.

(2) Other than the Notes, there are no options, warrants, conversion rights, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights to purchase or otherwise acquire from the Company any securities of the Company.

(vi) Compliance with Laws. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties, the violation of which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(vii) Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default of any provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or, in any material respect, of any mortgage, indenture, material agreement, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or material contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or, to its knowledge, any provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Note, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to the Company, its businesses operations, properties or assets.

4 

(viii) No “Bad Actor” Disqualification. The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Company Covered Person (as defined below) is subject to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) through (viii), as modified by Rules 506(d)(2) and (d)(3), under the Securities Act (“Disqualification Events”). To the Company’s knowledge, no Company Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent required, with any disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e) under the Securities Act. For purposes of this Note, “Company Covered Persons” are those persons specified in Rule 506(d)(1) under the Securities Act; provided, however, that Company Covered Persons do not include (a) any Holder, or (b) any person or entity that is deemed to be an affiliated issuer of the Company solely as a result of the relationship between the Company and any Holder.

(ix) Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Holder contained in Section 3(b) below, the offer, sale and issuance of this Note and the Conversion Securities (collectively, the “Securities”) are and will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws.

(x) Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds of this Note solely for the operation of its business, and not for any personal, family or household purpose.

(b) Representations and Warranties of the Holder. The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof as follows:

(i) Purchase for Own Account. The Holder is acquiring the Securities solely for the Holder’s own account and beneficial interest for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Securities or any part thereof, has no present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such intention. The Holder understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be when issued, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the representations as expressed herein.

(ii) Information and Sophistication. The Holder hereby represents that the Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risk of this investment.

(iii) Economic Risk; Ability to Bear Economic Risk. The Holder understands and acknowledges that the Company has no material assets or business operations and that, if it does not complete a Qualified Business Combination or an IPO, it will have insufficient assets to repay the amounts due under this Note on the Maturity Date or otherwise. The Holder understands and acknowledges that investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, and represents that the Holder is able, without materially impairing the Holder’s financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of the Holder’s investment.

(iv) Rule 144. The Holder acknowledges that the Securities may not be transferred unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement transaction subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which may include, among other things, the existence of a public market for the securities, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

5 

(v) No Public Market. The Holder understands that no public market now exists, and that a market may never exist, for any of the securities issued by the Company (including the Securities).

(vi) Access to Information. The Holder acknowledges receipt from the Company of, and has adequately reviewed, all of the information concerning the Company which the Holder considers to be material in making the investment decision regarding the Securities and the Company. The Holder has had full access to the books and records of the Company and to its officers, directors and other representatives for the purpose of obtaining and verifying such information. The Holder has had a full and fair opportunity to meet with officers, directors and other representatives of the Company and to ask questions and receive answers regarding the business of the Company and its financial condition, results, status, prospects, risk factors, contingencies and uncertainties and any other matters of concern to the Holder about the Company as the Holder believes necessary or appropriate to assist in an evaluation of the merits and risks of investing in the Securities. All material documents and information pertaining to the Company and an investment therein as may have been requested were made available to the Holder.

(vii) Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until:

(1) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

(2) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws; provided that no such opinion shall be required for dispositions in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, except in unusual circumstances.

(3) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by the Holder to an Affiliate or a partner (or retired partner), member (or retired member) or equityholder of the Holder, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were the Holders hereunder. For purposes of this Note, “Affiliate” means, with respect to the Holder, any other entity or person who, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Holder, including without limitation any general partner, managing member, officer, director or trustee of the Holder, or any venture capital fund or registered investment company now or hereafter existing that is controlled by one or more general partners, managing members or investment adviser of, or shares the same management company or investment adviser with, the Holder.

(viii) Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. All of the information provided by the Holder in the Suitability Questionnaire executed and delivered by the Holder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Note is accurate and complete.

6 

(ix) No “Bad Actor” Disqualification. The Holder represents and warrants that neither (A) the Holder nor (B) any entity that controls the Holder or is under the control of, or under common control with, the Holder, is subject to any Disqualification Event, except for Disqualification Events covered by Rule 506(d)(2)(ii) or (iii) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act and disclosed in writing in reasonable detail to the Company. The Holder represents that the Holder has exercised reasonable care to determine the accuracy of the representation made by the Holder in this paragraph, and agrees to notify the Company if the Holder becomes aware of any fact that makes the representation given by the Holder hereunder inaccurate.

(x) Foreign Investors. If the Holder is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), the Holder hereby represents that he, she or it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of the Holder’s jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Note, including (A) the legal requirements within the Holder’s jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (B) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (C) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (D) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. The Holder’s subscription, payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Holder’s jurisdiction.

(xi) Forward-Looking Statements. With respect to any forecasts, projections of results and other forward-looking statements and information provided to the Holder, the Holder acknowledges that such statements were prepared based upon assumptions deemed reasonable by the Company at the time of preparation. There is no assurance that such statements will prove accurate, and the Company has no obligation to update such statements.

(xii) Reliance on Information. Except as set forth in Section 3(a), no representations or warranties, written, oral or otherwise, have been made to the Holder, including, without limitation, any representations concerning the future prospects or business of the Company, by the Company or any agent, employee, representative or affiliate thereof or any other person whether or not associated with this transaction. In entering into this transaction, the Holder is not relying upon any information, other than the information received from the Company, and the results of the Holder’s own independent investigation. The Holder has obtained sufficient information and taken all steps necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of this investment and to make an informed investment decision.

(xiii) Authorization; Power. The Holder has all requisite legal and corporate or other power and authority to execute and deliver this Note and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Note and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(xiv) Broker’s and Finders’ Fees. The Holder has not incurred, and will not incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Note or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(xv) No General Solicitation. The Holder became aware of this offering of the Notes solely by means of direct contact between the Holder and the Company, and the Notes were offered to the Holder solely by direct contact between the Holder and the Company.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no amendment or waiver shall be effective against any Holder unless such amendment or waiver applies to all Holders equally and any amendment or waiver that has a disproportionate effect on a Holder shall require the consent of such Holder.

WHEREAS, as a result of the Merger, (i) the stockholders of ELM that existed a moment in time prior to the Merger, will have their equity interests in ELM cancelled and converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth in the Merger Agreement, and (ii) ELM (as the Surviving Corporation) will be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent.

WHEREAS, the Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Agreement is being entered into as part of the Merger Agreement and the Merger, (ii) the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are a material inducement to, and a condition precedent of, Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Merger, (iii) the Restricted Party shall receive substantial direct and indirect benefits by the consummation of the Merger (including the Restricted Party’s portion of the consideration received by such Restricted Party in connection with the Merger), if any, and (iv) Parent and its Affiliates would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in the Merger Agreement as specifically negotiated by the parties thereto if the Restricted Party breached the provisions of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, as a condition to the consummation of the Merger, the Restricted Party has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises and covenants of the Parties set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.1.1. Non-Competition. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause each of his, her or its controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own any interest in, control, manage, operate, participate in, develop products for, advise or consult with or render services for (as a director, officer, employee, agent, broker, partner or contractor), or engage in activities or businesses, or establish any new businesses, within North America (including Mexico), China or Europe (the “Territory”) any business that is competitive with the business operated by the Company as of the Signing Date or as of immediately prior to the Closing, including any activities or business engaged in the design, development, homologation, manufacture, importation, marketing, promotion, distribution, offering for sale, sale, and other commercialization of any and all products and services currently under development or in production (including the vehicles known as the “Urban Delivery (Light Duty Platform)” and “Urban Utility (Medium Duty Platform)”) as of the Signing Date (collectively, the “Business”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the restrictions contained in Section 1.1 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area of by reason of their being too extensive in any other respect, Section 1.1 shall be modified to be effective for the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable and over the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable. Parent and the Restricted Party hereby consent and agree to any such reformation of the restrictions to the maximum of enforceability as determined by any court of competent jurisdiction.

2. Miscellaneous.

2.1. Severability. Subject to and without limiting the application of Section 1.2, in the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument referred to in this Agreement, shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, then to the maximum extent permitted by Law, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any other such instrument. Subject to and without limiting the application of Section 1.2, upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties 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.

3

This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any Party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this Section 2.3.1.

2.3.2. Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Action arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such Party would not, in the event of any Action, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other Party hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 2.3.2.

2.4. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be modified only by a written instrument duly executed by each Party. No breach of any covenant or agreement shall be deemed waived unless expressly waived in writing by the Party who might assert such breach. No waiver of any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any other right or of the same or a similar right on another occasion.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, the Stockholder is the record holder and the beneficial (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, which meaning shall apply for all purposes of this Agreement whenever the term “beneficial” or “beneficially” is used) owner of, and has full voting power over, the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), of the Company set forth on the Stockholder’s signature page hereto;

WHEREAS, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub have entered into the Merger Agreement, which provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger, pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL;

WHEREAS, the Stockholder acknowledges that, as a condition and material inducement to Parent and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that (i) certain stockholders specified in the Merger Agreement, promptly after the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours and (ii) prior to the Closing, the holders of 100% of the issued and outstanding Shares enter into Support Agreements, including written consents in the form attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Written Consent”), and, in order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder is willing to enter into this Agreement;

WHEREAS, Parent desires that the Stockholder agree, and the Stockholder is willing to agree, subject to the limitations herein, not to Transfer (as defined below) any of its Shares, and to enter into the Written Consent and otherwise vote its Shares in a manner so as to facilitate consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and to undertake certain additional obligations pursuant to this Agreement;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Stockholder is executing and delivering a Written Consent, constituting the Stockholder’s consent to, and vote to adopt, the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Stockholder is executing and delivering the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex B; and

WHEREAS, Parent and the Stockholder desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

Article 1

VOTING AND TRANSFER OF SHARES

Section 1.01. Voting.

(a)       The Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the Expiration Date (the “Applicable Period”), at each meeting of the stockholders of the Company (a “Meeting”) and at each adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with each action or approval by consent in writing of the stockholders of the Company (a “Consent Solicitation”), to cause to be present in person or represented by proxy and to vote or cause to be voted (or express consent or dissent in writing, as applicable) that number of Shares set forth on the Stockholder’s signature page hereto and any additional Shares that are hereafter held of record or beneficially owned by the Stockholder (collectively, the “Subject Shares”) that are entitled to vote (or express consent or dissent in writing, as applicable), in each case as follows:

(i)       in favor of any proposal for stockholders of the Company to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve any other matters necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger;

(ii)       in favor of any proposal to adjourn a Meeting at which there is a proposal for stockholders of the Company to adopt the Merger Agreement to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement or if there are not sufficient Shares present in person or represented by proxy at such Meeting to constitute a quorum;

(iii)       against any proposal providing for an Alternative Transaction or the adoption of an agreement to enter into an Alternative Transaction;

2

(iv)       against any proposal for any amendment or modification of the Company’s Organizational Documents that would change the voting rights of any Shares or the number of votes required to approval any proposal, including the vote required to adopt the Merger Agreement; and

(v)       against any action, transaction or agreement that (A) would result in a breach of any representation or warranty or covenant of the Company under the Merger Agreement; (B) would reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or impair consummation of the Transactions in any material respect; or (C) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VI of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled.

(b)       Any vote required to be cast or consent or dissent in writing required to be expressed pursuant to this Section 1.01 shall be cast or expressed in accordance with the applicable procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present (if applicable) and for purposes of recording the results of that vote or Consent Solicitation. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein requires the Stockholder (or entitles any proxy of the Stockholder) to convert, exercise or exchange any options, warrants or convertible securities in order to obtain any underlying Shares.

(c)       The Stockholder agrees not to enter into any commitment, agreement, understanding or similar arrangement with any Person to vote or give voting instructions or express consent or dissent in writing in any manner inconsistent with the terms of this Section 1.01.

Section 1.02. No Transfers. During the Applicable Period, the Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly: (a) sell, convey, assign, transfer (including by succession or otherwise by operation of Law), exchange, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise encumber or dispose of any Subject Shares (or any right, title or interest therein) or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company; (b) deposit any Subject Shares or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or any other arrangement with respect to any Subject Shares or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company or grant or purport to grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto; (c) enter into any contract, option, call or other arrangement or undertaking, whether or not in writing, with respect to the sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer (including by succession or otherwise by operation of Law), exchange, pledge, hypothecation or other encumbrance or disposition, or limitation on the voting rights, of any Subject Shares (or any right, title or interest therein) or any rights to acquire any securities or equity interests of the Company; (d) otherwise grant, permit or suffer the creation of any Liens on any Subject Shares (other than applicable restrictions on transfer under U.S. state or federal securities or “blue sky” Laws) or (e) commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any action described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), a “Transfer”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Transfers (i) between the Stockholder and any Affiliate of the Stockholder, (ii) to a trust for the benefit of the Stockholder or to any member of a Stockholder’s immediate family or a trust for the benefit of such immediate family member or (iii) by will, other testamentary document or under the laws of intestacy upon the death of Stockholder, in each case, so long as, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of any such Transfer, such Affiliate or transferee executes and delivers to Parent a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex C. Any Transfer or action in violation of this Section 1.02 shall be void ab initio. If any involuntary Transfer of any of Subject Shares occurs, the transferee (and all transferees and subsequent transferees of such transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect during the Applicable Period. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.02 shall prevent entry into or performance of any obligations pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.

3

Section 1.03. Stop Transfer. The Stockholder shall not request that the Company register any transfer of any Certificate or other uncertificated interest representing any Subject Shares made in violation of the restrictions set forth in Section 1.02 during the Applicable Period.

Section 1.04. Waiver of Appraisal Rights. The Stockholder hereby agrees not to assert, exercise or perfect, directly or indirectly, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives, any appraisal rights (including under Section 262 of the DGCL) with respect to the Merger and any rights to dissent with respect to the Merger (collectively, “Appraisal Rights”).

Section 1.05. Public Announcements; Filings; Disclosures.

(a)       The Stockholder (and the Stockholder’s controlled Affiliates) shall not issue any press release or make any other public announcement or public statement (a “Public Communication”) with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may be withheld in Parent’s sole discretion), except (i) as required by applicable Law or court process, in which case the Stockholder shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide Parent and Parent’s legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Public Communication in advance of its issuance and shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments or (ii) with respect to a Public Communication that is consistent with prior disclosures by Parent; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any disclosure required to be made by the Stockholder to a Governmental Entity so long as such disclosure is consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and the disclosures made by the Company and Parent pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.05(a), if the Stockholder is a director or officer of the Company, in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, he or she may make public statements in such capacity to the extent permitted under the Merger Agreement.

(b)       The Stockholder hereby consents to and authorizes the Company and Parent to publish and disclose in any Public Communication or in any disclosure required by the SEC and in the proxy statement prepared by Parent and filed with the SEC relating to the Parent Special Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”) the Stockholder’s identity and ownership of Subject Shares and the Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement (the “Stockholder Information”), consents to the filing of this Agreement to the extent required by applicable Law to be filed with the SEC or any regulatory authority relating to the Merger, and agrees to cooperate with Parent in connection with such filings, including providing Stockholder Information reasonably requested by Parent. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide the Stockholder with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any Stockholder Information included in such disclosure in advance of its filing. As promptly as practicable, the Stockholder shall notify Parent of any required corrections with respect to any Stockholder Information supplied by the Stockholder, if and to the extent the Stockholder becomes aware that any such Stockholder Information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.

4

Section 1.06. Non-Solicitation.

(a)       The Stockholder acknowledges that the Stockholder has read Section 5.15(a) (Exclusivity) of the Merger Agreement. In addition, the Stockholder, solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company, agrees not to, directly or indirectly, take any action that would violate Section 5.15(a) of the Merger Agreement if such Stockholder were deemed a “Representative” of the Company for purposes of Section 5.15(a) of the Merger Agreement; provided, that the foregoing shall not serve to limit or restrict any actions taken by such Stockholder in any capacity other than as a stockholder of the Company, to the extent such actions are in compliance with or required under Section 5.15(a) of the Merger Agreement.

(b)       Notwithstanding Section 1.06(a), the Stockholder may participate in discussions and negotiations with any Person making a proposal relating to an Alternative Transaction (or its Representatives) with respect to such proposal if (i) the Company is engaging in discussions or negotiations with such Person in compliance with Section 5.15(a) of the Merger Agreement and (ii) such Stockholder’s negotiations and discussions are in conjunction with and ancillary to the Company’s discussions and negotiations.

Section 1.07. No Agreement as Director or Officer. The Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as record or beneficial owner of Subject Shares and nothing herein is intended to or shall limit or affect any actions taken by the Stockholder or any employee, officer, director (or person performing similar functions), partner or other Affiliate (including, for this purpose, any appointee or representative of the Stockholder to the board of directors of the Company) of the Stockholder, solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company (or a Subsidiary of the Company) or other fiduciary capacity for the Company’s stockholders.

Section 1.08. Acquisition of Additional Shares. The Stockholder shall promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) notify Parent of the number of any additional Shares with respect to which the Stockholder becomes the holder of record or acquires beneficial ownership, if any, after the execution of this Agreement and before the Expiration Date, which Shares shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically become Subject Shares in accordance with Section 1.01.

5

Section 1.09. No Litigation. The Stockholder hereby agrees not to commence, maintain or participate in, or facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, suit, proceeding or cause of action, in law or in equity, in any court or before any Governmental Entity (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the consummation of the Merger), (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the Merger Agreement or the Transactions, or (c) seeking Appraisal Rights in connection with the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit the Stockholder from enforcing the Stockholder’s rights under this Agreement or the Stockholder’s right to receive the Merger Consideration or any cash in lieu of fractional shares to which it may be entitled pursuant to the Merger Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 1.10. Further Assurances. The Stockholder shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further certificates, instruments and other documents and to take such further actions as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of effectively carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7

Neither Forum’s nor ELMS’s independent auditors have studied, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, neither of them has expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation . These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results . In this presentation, certain of the above - mentioned projected information has been provided for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data . The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information . Projections are inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside of Forum’s and ELMS’s control . Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of future performance of the combined company after the Transaction or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information . Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved . Further, the inclusion of valuation multiples and enterprise value of other companies is solely for illustrative purposes, and no assurance can be given that ELMS will be valued at comparable multiples and ELMS's valuations and projected results may differ materially from comparable companies . Use of Non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes non - GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA . Forum and ELMS believe that these non - GAAP measures are useful to investors for two principal reasons : 1 ) these measures may assist investors in comparing performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance ; and 2 ) these measures will be used by ELMS’s management and board of directors to assess its performance and may (subject to the limitations described below) enable investors to compare the expected performance of ELMS and the combined company to its competition . Forum and ELMS believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends . These non - GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP . Other companies may calculate these non - GAAP measures differently, and therefore such measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies . This presentation includes financial forecasts, including, but not limited to, with respect to ELMS’s future EBITDA . A reconciliation of these forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not provided in this presentation because neither Forum nor ELMS is able to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort .
