Execution

AMENDED AND RESTATED

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of March 5, 2021, among the parties on the signature pages hereto, and amends and restates the Original Agreement. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Closing. Unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.1, Parent may elect, in its sole discretion, for the Transactions to be consummated at a closing (the “Closing”) by delivering the signed Exercise Notice to Parent, which such Exercise Notice shall be irrevocable and shall designate the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”), which in no event shall be sooner than 5 Business Days following the date of the delivery of the Exercise Notice. The delivery of an Exercise Notice may occur no earlier than the 11th day, and no later than the end of the 20th day, following the delivery by Parent to the Company of a Notice to Provide Final Representation Qualifications. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, each of Parent and the Company shall promptly and in good faith proceed to consummate the Merger pursuant to the terms hereof and, prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cause each of its obligations set forth in Annex A to be fulfilled. For clarity, the consummation of the Closing shall be at Parent’s sole election, and Parent shall be under no obligation to consummate the Closing unless the Exercise Notice has been signed and delivered to the Company and unless and until each of the conditions to closing set forth herein shall have been satisfied (or, if permissible, waived by Parent).

1.2 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement and Delaware Law, on the Closing Date, Parent, the Company, and Merger Sub shall effect the Merger by filing a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Delaware Law, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”). The Merger shall become effective upon the acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of the Certificate of Merger or such other time as may be specified therein (the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effects of the Merger on the Entities. The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be identical to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, respectively, of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be that of the Company). The directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the other effects of the Merger shall be as provided by the Certificate of Merger and Delaware Law.

1.4 Effect of Merger on the Capital Stock

(a) Merger Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of Company Common Stock (and there shall be no other shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding).


(b) Company Capital Stock; Company Options.

(i) Company Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Capital Stock (excluding Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, in each case in accordance with and pursuant to the terms hereof, the Charter Documents and Delaware Law, (1) the portion of the Closing Date Merger Consideration such share is so entitled to receive, plus (2) the portion of the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration such share is so entitled to receive. All such amounts and calculations and components thereof shall be set forth in the Closing Date Payment Spreadsheet (with respect to clause (1) of the prior sentence) or the Anniversary Date Payment Spreadsheet (with respect to clause (2) of the prior sentence). For clarity, the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration shall be withheld at the Closing by Parent and distributed (or retained by Parent) in accordance with the terms hereof.

(ii) Cancelled Shares; Dissenting Shares. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Capital Stock that is issued and outstanding and held by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Cancelled Shares”) shall be cancelled without any consideration therefor. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Capital Stock with respect to which the holder thereof has properly demanded and not effectively withdrawn or lost appraisal rights under Delaware Law (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth in Section 1.4(b)(i) but instead shall be entitled to such rights as are provided by Delaware Law; provided, however that if any holder of Dissenting Shares effectively withdraws, loses or fails to perfect such holder’s appraisal rights, then such holder’s shares shall be converted into the right to receive, upon the terms of this Agreement, the consideration set forth in Section 1.4(b)(i) (without interest). The Company shall give Parent prompt notice and a copy of any demand for appraisal received by the Company and/or any of its Affiliates. The Surviving Corporation shall not make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands without the prior written consent of Parent.

(iii) Company Options. No Company Option shall be assumed by Parent. At the Effective Time, each Company Option (or portion thereof), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled without the payment of any consideration. Prior to the Effective Time, and subject to the review and approval of Parent, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.4(b)(iii) under the Plan, all Company Option agreements, and any other plan or arrangement of the Company (whether written or oral, formal or informal) and any applicable Legal Requirement, including adopting all resolutions, giving all notices, obtaining all consents, and taking any other actions reasonably necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.4(b)(iii), so that, at the Closing, the Company shall not have any outstanding equity interests or equity-related interests other than shares of Company Capital Stock. The Company agrees to effect the termination of the Plan or any other successor plan or arrangement, subject to the reasonable review and approval of Parent, at the Closing.

1.5 Payment of Merger Consideration for Company Capital Stock

(a) Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall serve as the paying agent for the Merger. Parent and the Company shall cooperate and deliver all materials to the Paying Agent as are reasonably required by the Paying Agent.

(b) Payments. On the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be paid to the Paying Agent the amount of cash payable from the Closing Date Merger Consideration to the Stockholders at Closing pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i) and shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration Note in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Anniversary Date Merger Consideration Note”). The Closing Date Merger Consideration shall be paid in the form of cash. Parent shall retain the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration at the Closing and shall on the Anniversary Date, subject to any amounts set forth in any Unresolved Claim, cause to be paid cash to the Paying Agent and/or cause to be issued to the Stockholders, unregistered Parent Ordinary Shares that in the aggregate constitute the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i), less the Holdback

Fund, which shall be released (if at all) pursuant to the terms of Article VII. The Anniversary Date Merger Consideration shall be paid in the form of cash and/or unregistered Parent Ordinary Shares, in accordance with the election of the recipient thereof pursuant to Section 1.5(c). The Stockholders Representative shall cause all amounts, calculations and components of the Closing Date Merger Consideration, and any other information required by Parent to pay the Closing Date Merger Consideration, to be set forth in the Closing Date Payment Spreadsheet, and shall cause the amounts, calculations and components of the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration, and any other information required by Parent to pay and/or issue the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration, to be set forth in the Anniversary Date Payment Spreadsheet.

(c) Cash/Stock Election. With respect to any portion of the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration that a Stockholder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i), such Stockholder may make an election on a form acceptable to Parent (the “Form of Election”), to be included in the Exchange Documents, as to whether such Stockholder’s portion of the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration shall take the form of cash or unregistered Parent Ordinary Shares. Such election shall be made on a share-by-share basis, such that any Stockholder may make an election to receive (i) cash with respect to all shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Stockholder, (ii) Parent Ordinary Shares (valued at the Parent Share Price) with respect to all shares of Company Capital Stock held by such holder or (iii) a cash election with respect to a certain whole number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Stockholder and a stock election to receive Parent Ordinary Shares (valued at the Parent Share Price) with respect to the remaining whole number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Stockholder. Any fractional shares that would be issued with respect to an election to receive Parent Ordinary Shares shall instead be paid in cash (valuing such fractional share at the Parent Share Price). For clarity, with respect to the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration, each share of Company Capital Stock shall be converted only into the right to receive cash with respect thereto or Parent Ordinary Shares (valued at the Parent Share Price) with respect thereto, and in no event will any share be converted into the right to receive both cash and Parent Ordinary Shares. For further clarity, in no event shall Parent be required to (A) provide an election with respect to any payment other than the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration or (B) pay more than the Total Merger Consideration (valuing the Parent Ordinary Shares at the Parent Share Price). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent Ordinary Shares shall only be issued to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in the event that any Stockholder that is not an “accredited investor” to Parent’s reasonable satisfaction or is otherwise unable to be issued Parent Ordinary Shares and purports to elect to receive Parent Ordinary Shares, such Stockholder shall instead receive cash with respect to such payment (valuing Parent Ordinary Shares at the Parent Share Price).

(d) Payment Spreadsheets. At least 3 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a completed payment spreadsheet (the “Closing Date Payment Spreadsheet”), in a form acceptable to Parent (which shall be subject to Parent’s reasonable prior review and comment), which shall include all of the information necessary for Parent to perform its obligations under Section 1.4 and this Section 1.5 with respect to the payment of the Closing Date Merger Consideration, calculated as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which shall be true, correct, and complete in all respects as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Closing Date Payment Spreadsheet shall include: (i) a calculation of the Closing Date Merger Consideration, including all components thereof (including each subsection of the definition thereof, each of their respective components and each subsection of the respective definitions of such components), (ii) a calculation of the Closing Date Employee Option Amount, including all components thereof (including each subsection of the definition thereof, each of their respective components and each subsection of the respective definitions of such components), (iii) each Stockholder’s name, address and email address and, if available, social security number (or tax identification number, as applicable), (iv) the number, class and series of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Stockholder, the respective certificate number(s) (if any) of such shares or a designation that such shares are uncertificated (if applicable), (v) the liquidation preference and conversion ratio applicable to each such share, if any, (vi) the date of acquisition of such shares and the basis of such shares, (vii) the Pro Rata Portion applicable to such Stockholder, (viii) any tax withholding obligations with respect to such Stockholder pursuant to Section 1.5(g) with respect to payments of the Closing Date Merger Consideration, (ix) on the basis of the foregoing, the amount of cash to be paid to such Stockholder pursuant to Section

1.4, in full satisfaction of all of Parent’s obligations pertaining to paying the Closing Date Merger Consideration, (x) wiring instructions for such Stockholder and (xi) such other information relevant thereto or which Parent may reasonably request. At least 5 Business Days prior to the Anniversary Date, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Parent a completed payment spreadsheet (the “Anniversary Date Payment Spreadsheet”) in a form acceptable to Parent (which shall be subject to Parent’s reasonable prior review and comment), which shall include all of the information necessary for Parent to perform its obligations under Section 1.4 and this Section 1.5 with respect to the payment of the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration, which shall be true, correct, and complete in all respects. The Anniversary Date Payment Spreadsheet shall include: (i) a calculation of the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration, including all components thereof (including each subsection of the definition thereof, each of their respective components and each subsection of the respective definitions of such components), (ii) a calculation of the Anniversary Date Employee Option Amount, including all components thereof (including each subsection of the definition thereof, each of their respective components and each subsection of the respective definitions of such components), (iii) each Stockholder’s name, address and email address and, if available, social security number (or tax identification number, as applicable), (iv) the number, class and series of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such Stockholder, the respective certificate number(s) (if any) of such shares or a designation that such shares are uncertificated (if applicable), (v) the liquidation preference and conversion ratio applicable to each such share, if any, (vi) the date of acquisition of such shares and the basis of such shares, (vii) the Pro Rata Portion applicable to such Stockholder, (viii) any tax withholding obligations with respect to such Stockholder pursuant to Section 1.5(g) with respect to payments of the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration, (ix) the election such Stockholder has made (on a share-by-share basis) regarding whether such Stockholder is to receive cash or unregistered Parent Ordinary Shares for payment of the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration, (x) whether such Stockholder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (xi) the contribution of such Stockholder into the Holdback Fund (including the amount of cash and/or unregistered Parent Ordinary Shares so contributed), (xii) on the basis of the foregoing, the amount of cash to be paid and/or the number of shares of unregistered Parent Ordinary Shares to be issued to such Stockholder pursuant to Section 1.4, in full satisfaction of all of Parent’s obligations pertaining to paying the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration, (xii) wiring instructions for such Stockholder and (xiii) such other information relevant thereto or which Parent may reasonably request. Parent and the Paying Agent may rely without any liability to any Person upon the Closing Date Payment Spreadsheet and the Anniversary Date Payment Spreadsheet, as the case may be, in making payments pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Payment Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall mail exchange documents that Parent and the Paying Agent may reasonably require, including the Form of Election, to effectuate the payments to be made under Section 1.4 hereof (the “Exchange Documents”), to the respective addresses of the Stockholders set forth in the Closing Date Payment Spreadsheet. Once delivered by a Stockholder, a Form of Election shall be irrevocable unless Parent consents in writing. As soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of duly completed Exchange Documents and any other document Parent or the Paying Agent may reasonably require (including certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock, if any, from the Stockholders, and receipt of the final Closing Date Payment Spreadsheet, from the Stockholder Representative), the Paying Agent shall cause to be delivered an amount equal to the Closing Date Merger Consideration to which the holders are entitled hereunder at the Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the delivery information contained in the Exchange Documents. Any lost, stolen or destroyed certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock shall be treated in a manner as Parent and the Paying Agent may reasonably require. As soon as reasonably practical after the Anniversary Date, and subject to the receipt of duly completed Exchange Documents and any other document Parent or the Paying Agent may reasonably require (including receipt of the final Anniversary Date Payment Spreadsheet from the Stockholder Representative), the Paying Agent shall cause to be delivered an amount equal to the amount of cash and/or unregistered Parent Ordinary Shares to which the holders are entitled hereunder at the Anniversary Date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the delivery information contained in the Exchange Documents.

(f) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. Following the consummation of the Merger, the cash amounts paid and/or unregistered Parent Ordinary Shares issues in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and if any certificates representing the same are presented to the Surviving Corporation after such time for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I. The right of any Stockholder to any portion of the Closing Date Merger Consideration or the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration shall not be assignable or transferrable except by will, laws of intestacy or other Legal Requirement, without Parent’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), and neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or the Stockholder Representative shall give effect to any such purported assignment or transfer made in contravention of this sentence; provided that after any “Default” (pursuant to, and as such term is as defined in, the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration Note), such Anniversary Date Merger Consideration Note shall be transferable and assignable without the consent of Parent.

(g) Withholding Taxes. Any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by any amounts required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Legal Requirements and shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(h) Maximum Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the aggregate consideration payable or distributable by Parent hereunder exceed the Total Merger Consideration (valuing the Parent Ordinary Shares at the Parent Share Price).

(i) [Reserved.].

(j) Operation of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that Parent shall have the power and right to control the Parent’s and its respective Subsidiaries’ (including, following the Closing, the Companies’ and its Subsidiaries’) businesses and operations, and nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent or its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, the Company) to take any action that would be, or shall otherwise be interpreted in a manner that is inconsistent with such right in power, including actions or omissions that may have an impact on Revenue, Gross Margins or the Additional Payment (if any), subject to the rights and remedies of the stockholders under the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration Note in the event of a “Default” (pursuant to, and as such term is as defined in, the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration Note).

(a) Treatment of Additional Payment. The parties agree that the Additional Payment (if any) will be treated as additional Total Merger Consideration and shall be subject to applicable Tax withholding pursuant to Section 1.5(g) of the Agreement.

(b) Right Upon Payment Default. Without limiting the other rights and remedies of the stockholders to make a claim for payment of any portion of the Total Merger Consideration to which they are entitled pursuant to the terms hereof that is unpaid (including, without limitation, any applicable portion of the Closing Date Merger Consideration or the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration to which they may be entitled pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i), or any portion of the Holdback Fund to which they may be entitled pursuant to the terms of Article VII), the parties acknowledge that the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Stockholders) shall be entitled to enforce all rights and remedies provided to it pursuant to the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration Note, including any rights or remedies triggered upon the occurrence of any ”Default” thereunder (as such term is defined in the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration Note).

ARTICLE V

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

5.1 Exclusivity. Commencing on the Original Effective Date and continuing until the earlier to occur of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action to solicit or support any offer from, furnish any information to, or participate in any negotiations or discussions with, any third party, or enter into any Contract regarding any sale, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition of the Company, or any of its material assets or employees.

5.2 Stockholder Approval. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall have obtained Stockholder Written Consents and Joinder Agreements from holders of at least 90% of the total amount of outstanding Company Capital Stock as of the date of this Agreement. Within 15 Business Days after the date hereof, the Company shall circulate to all holders of Company Capital Stock who did not previously execute a Stockholder Written Consent an Information Statement, and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to solicit such Stockholders’ consent and to cause them to deliver their executed counterpart to the Stockholder Written Consent and Joinder Agreement. The Company covenants that the Information Statement will not contain any statement which is false or misleading with respect to any material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not false or misleading.

5.3 Reasonable Best Efforts to Close. Each of the parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to take cause to be taken promptly all actions necessary, proper or advisable to allow for the consummation of the Transactions as promptly as practicable following the delivery of the Exercise Notice, including by the Company using reasonable best efforts to satisfy each of the conditions set forth in Annex A. Each party hereto, at the request of another party hereto, shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts as may be necessary, proper or advisable for effecting completely the consummation of the Transactions in a timely manner following the delivery of the Exercise Notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party agrees to (i) within 15 Business Days after the date hereof (or at such later time as Parent may request), make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions (and, to the extent such filing expires, to submit a new appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions), (ii) supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information that reasonably may be required or requested by the FTC, the DOJ or other applicable competition or merger control authorities, (iii) promptly inform the other party or parties hereto, as the case may be, of any communication from any Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions and (iv) if such party receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions, then such party shall use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable (and, in the case of the Company, after consultation with Parent), an appropriate response in compliance with such request. Nothing in this Agreement will require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary of Parent to sell, hold separate, license or otherwise dispose of any assets or conduct their business in a specified manner, or agree or proffer to sell, hold separate, license or otherwise dispose of any assets or conduct their business in a specified manner, or permit or agree to the sale, holding separate, licensing or other disposition of, any assets of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary of Parent or the Company for any reason.

5.4 Notification. Within 10 days following the written request of Parent (such request not to be made more than once every 90 days) the Company shall, and within 10 days following a delivery of a Notice to Provide Final Representation Qualifications, the Company may, notify Parent of all occurrences or non-occurrences of any Effect (whether existing before or after the Original Effective Date or the date of this Agreement) that

 

-11-


caused or constitutes an inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representation or warranty made by the Company under this Agreement, which such notification shall fully, fairly and accurately, and with reasonable specificity, disclose the relevant matter and nature of such breach and the relevant representation and warranty to which such breach applies (a “Representation Qualification Notice”). In addition, the Company may, from time to time, at its own election, provide Parent with a Representation Qualification Notice. Any Representation Qualification Notice delivered by the Company to Parent on or prior to the date that is 10 days following the delivery of a Notice to Provide Final Representation Qualifications shall have the consequences set forth in Section 7.3(c). For clarity, any Representation Qualification Notice shall include all matters to be disclosed, whether or not included in a Representation Qualification Notice that was previously delivered, such that the parties need to only look at the most recently delivered Representation Qualification Notice (the “Final Representation Qualification Notice”) on or prior to the date that is 10 days following the delivery of a Notice to Provide Final Representation Qualifications to determine which representations are so qualified. For further clarity, Parent may provide more than one Notice to Provide Final Representations Qualifications, so long as Parent is considering in good faith whether or not to deliver an Exercise Notice at such time. No Representation Qualification Notice delivered after the date that is 10 days following the delivery of a Notice to Provide Final Representation Qualifications shall be given any effect, unless a subsequent Notice to Provide Final Representation Qualifications is given, in which case the time periods set forth in this section relating thereto shall be renewed with respect thereto. In addition, the Company shall notify Parent promptly of any breach in a material respect of any covenant or obligation of the Company under this Agreement.

5.5 D&O Insurance. During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the 6th anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in respect of claims arising from acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time on terms (including with respect to coverage, conditions, retentions, limits and amounts) that are no less favorable to those of the D&O Insurance; provided, however, that in no event shall the Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 300% of the current annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance.

5.6 New Employee Options. Following the Closing, Parent shall grant options pursuant to Parent’s employee share option plan established for its employees, to be available for allocation to the Employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries who continue employment with Parent or one of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) following the Closing (the “Closing Date Options”). The aggregate amount of Parent Ordinary Shares underlying the options in the Closing Date Options shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Closing Date Employee Option Amount, by (y) the Parent Share Price, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and the per share exercise price with respect to such options shall be determined by the most recent valuation of a Parent Ordinary Share under Section 409A of the Code that has been received by Parent prior to the issuance of such options. The other terms the stock options in the Closing Date Options shall be determined by Parent and shall in all cases be subject to Parent’s form stock option agreement. The allocation of the Closing Date Options shall be determined by Parent in consultation with the Company. Following the Anniversary Date (or, at Parent’s election, such earlier time as the Anniversary Date Employee Option Amount is finally determined), Parent shall grant options pursuant to Parent’s employee share option plan established for its employees, to be available for allocation to the Employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries who remain employed by Parent or one of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) through such date (the “Anniversary Date Options”). The aggregate amount of Parent Ordinary Shares underlying the options in the Anniversary Date Options shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Anniversary Date Employee Option Amount, by (y) the Parent Share Price, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and the per share exercise price with respect to such options shall be determined by the most recent valuation of a Parent Ordinary Share under Section 409A of the Code that has been received by Parent prior to the issuance of such options. It

 

-12-


is the intention of Parent that the vesting schedule of the Anniversary Date Options shall, to the extent practicable, align with the vesting schedule with respect to the Closing Date Options. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent reserves the right to make all final hiring decisions (including with respect to terms of employment, including compensation and benefits) and the employment of any continuing employees, and nothing contained in this Section 5.6 is intended to, or shall be construed to, confer upon any other person than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

5.7 Confidentiality. Except with the consent of Parent, the Company shall, and except with the consent of the Company, Parent shall, keep strictly confidential and not use for any purpose (i) all confidential or secret information or data that derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known, regarding the Company, (ii) all information regarding the businesses or assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates and (iii) the existence of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, including the terms and conditions of the Transactions; provided that Parent and the Company may disclose such information (a) if required by Legal Requirement, (b) to its professional advisors who need to know such information in connection with the Transactions and are obligated to keep such information strictly confidential and (c) in connection with any Action related to the enforcement or defense of this Agreement.

5.8 Termination of Investor Agreements. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take all action necessary to cause each of the “Investor Agreements” (as such term is defined in the Joinder Agreements) to terminate automatically upon the Effective Time, without any obligation on the part of Parent or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation).

ARTICLE VI

PRE-CLOSING TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

6.1 Pre-Closing Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger abandoned (a) by Parent or the Company if Parent shall not have delivered to the Company an Exercise Notice prior to 11:59 PM Pacific time on the Option Termination Date; (b) by Parent, following the date of the Closing Date designated in the Exercise Notice, if the Company has not fulfilled its obligations set forth in Annex A at such time, (c) by Parent, at any time prior to the delivery of an Exercise Notice; (d) by Parent or the Company if any Legal Requirement shall be in effect which has the effect of making the Merger illegal or otherwise prevents consummation of the Merger (and in the case of an Order, such Order has become final and non-appealable); or (e) by Company in the event Parent, Merger Sub or any of their affiliates is a Defaulting Holder as defined in the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement.

6.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 6.1, this Agreement shall become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any party or their Representatives; provided, however, that each party hereto shall remain liable for any willful and intentional breaches of this Agreement, Related Agreements or in any certificate or other instruments delivered pursuant to this Agreement prior to its termination; provided further, that, the provisions of this Section 6.2 and the general provisions contained in Annex C (but excluding paragraph 7 thereof) shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

POST-CLOSING INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Related Indemnification Claims. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement, and the right to make indemnification claims in respect thereof under this Agreement, shall survive until 11:59 p.m. Illinois time on the Holdback Expiration Date; provided, however, that (a) each IP Representation, and the right to make indemnification claims in respect thereof under this Agreement, shall survive until 11:59 p.m. Illinois time on the IP Representations Expiration Date and (b) each Fundamental Representation and each Tax Representation and any claim based on Fraud, and the right to make indemnification claims in respect thereof, shall survive until 11:59 p.m., Illinois time, on the date that is 30 days after the expiration of all applicable underlying statutes of limitations governing the subject matters addressed thereby (including all periods of extension and tolling); provided, further, that all representations and warranties of the Company and the right to make indemnification claims in respect thereof under this Agreement, shall survive beyond the survival periods specified above with respect to any inaccuracy therein or breach thereof if a claim is timely made in accordance with the terms hereunder prior to the expiration of the survival period, in which case such representation and warranty and the right to make indemnification claims in respect thereof shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved. The representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement, the Related Agreements or in any certificate or other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive until 11:59 p.m. Illinois time 30 days after the Holdback Expiration Date, subject to the same tolling beyond such date as described above for unresolved claims. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing respective survival periods and termination dates supersede any applicable statutes of limitations (including 10 Del. C. § 8106(a)) that may otherwise apply to such representations and warranties and the right to make indemnification claims in respect thereof under this Agreement.

7.2 Indemnification

(a) From and after the consummation of the Merger, subject to the terms and limitations of this Article VII, the Indemnifying Parties shall severally, but not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties, from and against all Losses paid, incurred, suffered or sustained by the Indemnified Parties, resulting from or arising out of: (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in a representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of any such breach or inaccuracy, no effect will be given to any qualifications based on the word “material” or similar phrases contained in such representation or warranty; (ii) any inaccuracy in any information required to be set forth in the Closing Date Payment Spreadsheet including any failure to properly calculate any item required to be contained therein; (iii) any failure by the Company to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement of the Company set forth in this Agreement which is required to be performed prior to the Closing, including each of the obligations set forth in Annex A; (iv) any payment or expense in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such shares in accordance with this Agreement; (v) any Fraud by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the Transactions.

(b) The Indemnifying Parties shall not have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from the Indemnified Parties with respect to any Loss.

(c) Except in the case of Fraud committed by an Indemnifying Party or to which such Indemnifying Party was a party, the indemnification rights set forth in this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties from and after the Effective Time for any claims arising under this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 7.2(c) shall not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of any party to a Related Agreement to pursue remedies under such Related Agreement against the other parties thereto. In no event shall a Stockholder be liable for the Fraud of any other Stockholder unless such first Stockholder was a party to such Fraud.

 

-14-


7.3 Limitations on Indemnification

(a) Threshold. Except in the case of Fraud committed by an Indemnifying Party or to which an Indemnifying Party was a party, the Indemnified Parties, as a group, may not recover any Losses pursuant to an indemnification claim under Section 7.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to a breach of an IP Representation, Fundamental Representation or Tax Representation) unless and until the Indemnified Parties, as a group, shall have paid, incurred, suffered or sustained Losses in an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 in respect of indemnification claims under Section 7.2(a)(i) (the “Threshold Amount”), in which case Parent shall be entitled to recover all Losses so identified from the first dollar; provided, however, that indemnification claims under Section 7.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to a breach of a IP Representation, Fundamental Representation or Tax Representation) in amounts below $37,500 (a “De Minimis Amount”) shall not be recoverable and shall not count towards the Threshold Amount (it being understood that the dollar value of Losses resulting from “individual” occurrences, events or circumstances that relate to or result from the same cause or circumstance will be aggregated for purposes of the De Minimis Amount).

(b) Maximum Liability.

(i) Except as specifically set forth in this Article VII, the maximum amount that an Indemnified Party may recover for Losses arising out of this Agreement or any Related Agreement (A) pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Section 7.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to a breach of a IP Representation, Fundamental Representation or a Tax Representation) shall be limited to an amount equal to the General Representations Cap, (B) pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Section 7.2(a)(i) with respect to a breach of an IP Representation shall be limited to an amount equal to the IP Representations Cap, (C) pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Section 7.2(a)(i) in respect of breaches of Fundamental Representations and Tax Representations and pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Sections 7.2(a)(ii)–(iv) shall be limited to an amount equal to the Total Merger Consideration (valuing any Parent Ordinary Shares issued as part of the Total Merger Consideration at the Parent Share Price) and (D) pursuant to the indemnity set forth in Section 7.2(a)(v) or any Fraud committed by such Stockholder or of which such Stockholder was a party shall be unlimited.

(ii) The Indemnified Parties’ first source of recovery for indemnification claims under Section 7.2(a) shall be against the Holdback Fund; if the Holdback Fund is insufficient to fully satisfy an indemnification claim under Section 7.2, the Indemnified Parties’ second source of recovery shall be set-off against the remainder of the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration, if the same has not yet been paid or issued to the Stockholders; and if the Holdback Fund and the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration is insufficient to fully satisfy an indemnification claim under Section 7.2 or if the Holdback Fund or the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration have been released to the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover such excess portion of such Losses (an “Excess Loss”) directly from the Indemnifying Parties, and each Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII, be liable, severally and not jointly, solely for its, his or her Pro Rata Portion of the Excess Losses. Any such recovery by Parent from the Holdback Fund or set-off by Parent against the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration shall value Parent Ordinary Shares at the Parent Share Price and shall be made pro rata to the respective proportions that the cash and Parent Ordinary Shares comprise the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration and Holdback Fund. Any recovery directly from an Indemnified Party shall be made, at the election of each Indemnified Party, by (A) returning Parent Ordinary Shares (valuing the Parent Ordinary Shares at the fair market value at the time of the claim) to Parent, free and clear of any Liens and/or (B) returning cash to Parent.

(iii) The liability of each Indemnifying Party for indemnification claims under this Agreement shall be limited, in the aggregate, to a dollar amount equal to the portion of the Total Merger Consideration received by such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Article VII shall limit the liability of an Indemnifying Party in connection with a claim based on Fraud committed by an Indemnifying Party or of which an Indemnifying Party was a party.

 

-15-


(c) No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for Losses directly related to matters that were fully, fairly and accurately, and with reasonable specificity, disclosed in the Final Representation Qualification Notice delivered to Parent prior to the date that is 10 days following the delivery of a Notice to Provide Final Representation Qualifications (it being understood that only matters that are known to actually exist, and not potential or hypothetical matters, may be so disclosed); provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on rights to indemnification shall not apply to any Fundamental Representations, and the rights of the Indemnified Parties to indemnification or any other remedy under this Agreement with respect to a Fundamental Representation shall not be affected by any such Representation Qualification Notice or any other investigation or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired), including exceptions incorporated herein as have been Made Available, are set forth in the Disclosure Schedule to the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, or as may otherwise be updated by the Company from time to time pursuant to Section 5.4. The waiver of any condition will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy under this Agreement. No Indemnified Party shall be required to show reliance in order for such Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d) All indemnifiable Losses shall be calculated net of the amount of any actual recoveries actually received by an Indemnified Party from any unrelated third party insurer prior to the Holdback Expiration Date under any existing insurance policies of the Indemnified Party (in each case, calculated net of any collection costs and reserves, reimbursement, expenses, deductibles, or premium adjustments or retrospectively rated premiums (as reasonably determined by an Indemnified Party) incurred or paid to procure such recoveries) related to the insurance claim in respect of such indemnifiable Losses incurred, suffered or sustained by such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Parties shall have no obligation to seek recovery under any insurance policies covering any indemnifiable Losses, or to maintain any insurance policies for any period of time (except, for clarify, as contemplated by Section 5.5).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable for (A) Losses attributable to the amount, value or condition of any Tax asset or attribute (e.g., net operating loss carry-forward of Tax credit carry-forward) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (B) the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to utilize such Tax asset or attribute in any Tax period or portion thereof beginning on or after the Closing Date.

7.4 Indemnification Claim Procedures

(a) If an Indemnified Party wishes to make an indemnification claim under this Article VII, such Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the Stockholder Representative (or for claims directly against an Indemnifying Party, to such Indemnifying Party) (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has paid, incurred, suffered or sustained, or reasonably anticipates that it may pay, incur, suffer or sustain Losses, and (ii) to the extent known, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such Losses. Parent may update an Indemnification Claim Notice from time to time to reflect any new information with respect to the claim.

(b) In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person (other than a party to this Agreement) of any Action with respect to which the Indemnifying Parties may become obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article VII (each, a “Third Party Action”), the Stockholder Representative shall (on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties) have the right to participate in (at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties), but not to control, the defense of such Third Party Action. The Indemnified Parties may settle a Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative; provided, that such settled amount shall not be determinative of the amount of Losses indemnifiable pursuant to this Article VII unless the Stockholder Representative consents to such settlement (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

 

-16-


(c) If the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties shall not object in writing within the 30 day period after receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice by delivery of a written notice of an objection containing a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances supporting such objection (an “Indemnification Claim Objection Notice”), such failure to so object shall mean for all purposes that the Indemnified Party is entitled to the full amount of the claim for Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice. In such event Parent shall be entitled to permanently retain from the Holdback Fund or, if the Holdback Fund is insufficient and Parent has still retained the remainder of the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration, from the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration, an amount of cash and Parent Ordinary Shares (valued at the Parent Share Price) equal to the Losses set forth in such Indemnification Claim Notice, pro rata to the respective proportions that the cash and Parent Ordinary Shares comprise the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration and the Holdback Fund.

(d) In the event that the Stockholder Representative shall deliver an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice in accordance with Section 7.4(c), the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties) and Parent may attempt to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to such claims. If the Stockholder Representative and Parent so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties (a “Resolution Memorandum”). In such event, Parent shall, subject to Section 7.4(g), be entitled to permanently retain from the Holdback Fund or, if the Holdback Fund is insufficient and Parent has still retained the remainder of the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration, the amount of cash and/or Parent Ordinary Shares (valued at the Parent Share Price) as set forth in the Resolution Memorandum, pro rata to the respective proportions that the cash and Parent Ordinary Shares comprise the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration and the Holdback Fund. Should the amount of the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration be insufficient to satisfy in whole the amount owed to an Indemnified Party in accordance with such memorandum and this Agreement, then each Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay or surrender to the Indemnified Party such Indemnifying Party’s pro rata portion of such shortfall as though such shortfall was an Excess Loss. In such a case, the Indemnifying Parties may, at their election (A) return Parent Ordinary Shares to Parent, free and clear of any Liens (valuing the Parent Ordinary Shares at the fair market value at the time of the claim) or (B) pay cash to Parent to satisfy such shortfall.

(e) If no such agreement can be reached prior to 30 days after delivery of an Indemnification Claim Objection Notice, either Parent or the Stockholder Representative may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Loss that is at issue is then subject of a pending litigation with a third party. Such arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Parent and the Stockholder Representative. In the event that, within 30 days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, Parent and the Stockholder Representative cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within 15 days after the end of such 30-day period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall each select one independent arbitrator who shall select a third independent arbitrator.

(f) Any such arbitration shall be held in Cook County, Illinois, under the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (“JAMS”). The arbitrator(s) shall determine how all expenses relating to the arbitration shall be paid. The arbitrator(s) shall establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator(s) shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrator(s) determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator(s) as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Indemnification Claim Notice shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement and the Indemnifying Parties. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s). Within 30 days of a decision of the arbitrator(s) requiring payment by Parent to the Indemnifying Parties or by the Indemnifying Parties to Parent, such person(s) shall make the payment to such other person(s), including by Parent permanently retaining cash or Parent Ordinary Shares from the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration (which shall value the Parent Ordinary shares at the Parent Share Price, and shall be pro rata to the respective proportions that the cash and

 

-17-


Parent Ordinary Shares comprise the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration and the Holdback Fund). Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The forgoing arbitration provision shall apply to any dispute among the Indemnifying Parties or any Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties under this Article VII, whether relating to claims to recover funds or shares from the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration.

(g) On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall (i) continue to retain the Holdback Fund, (ii) in addition, continue to retain an amount from the remainder of the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration, if any, equal to the amount of any claims for indemnification asserted in an Indemnification Claim Notice delivered in accordance with Section 7.4 prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date but which are not yet resolved or for which payment has not yet been made (a “First Anniversary Unresolved Claim”) that exceed the amount then available in the Holdback Fund and (iii) release any remaining Anniversary Date Merger Consideration net of the Holdback Fund and net of such First Anniversary Unresolved Claims to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Stockholders in accordance with this Agreement. Such amounts retained or released shall be in the form of cash and Parent Ordinary Shares (valued at the Parent Share Price), pro rata to the respective proportions that the cash and Parent Ordinary Shares comprise the Anniversary Date Merger Consideration.

Exhibit A

Spousal Consent

I have read and clearly understand the Merger Agreement, the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into as of April [•], 2020 among Babylon Holdings Limited, Babylon Acquisition Corp., higi SH Holdings Inc. and J.C. Kryder, MD as, as the Stockholder Representative (the “Merger Agreement”) and the Joinder Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Joinder Agreement”), to which my spouse or domestic partner, as applicable, is a party. All capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings in the Merger Agreement or the Joinder Agreement, as the case may be.

I hereby acknowledge that my spouse or domestic partner has agreed to various terms and conditions with respect to ownership of the Owned Securities of which he or she is an owner of record or beneficially, and in which I may now or hereafter have a community property or other interest. I have been advised and encouraged to obtain separate legal counsel to review the Merger Agreement, the Joinder and this Spousal Consent, have reviewed in full the Merger Agreement, the Joinder Agreement and this Spousal Consent, and have been provided an opportunity to ask questions. I have the expectation that such terms and conditions and agreements will be binding on me with respect to my marital rights. In consideration of the foregoing, I hereby consent to the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Joinder Agreement and the documents referenced in the foregoing or related thereto by my spouse, and I join in, accept and consent to the terms thereof and agree to abide and to be bound thereby. I agree that any community property interest I may have in any of my spouse’s beneficial interests in the Owned Securities shall be bound by the Merger Agreement, the Joinder Agreement and this Spousal Consent.

Furthermore, with respect to the Owned Securities held in my spouse’s name, I, the undersigned, hereby appoint my spouse as my exclusive attorney-in-fact to (i) represent me in all matters relating to the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) bind my interests, jointly with his or her own, upon his or her execution of any documents relating thereto, and (iii) do, on my behalf, all things necessary or advisable to carry out and complete the purposes of the Merger Agreement, without my further consent or authorization; the foregoing appointment being coupled with an interest and hereby made irrevocable. I agree to be bound by these provisions and will not bequeath any part of my community interest in any of the Owned Securities by my will, if I predecease my spouse, to any person or party other than my spouse. I direct that the residuary clause in my will, if any, shall not be deemed to apply to my community interest in any of the Owned Securities. I understand and acknowledge that Parent has entered into the Transactions in reliance upon my execution of this Spousal Consent.

I have executed this Spousal Consent in my own free will and after being independently made fully aware of my rights on the date indicated below, to be effective immediately on my execution.
