Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Acquisition Agreement

On July 16, 2021 we and our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary Brooklyn Acquisition Sub, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Acquisition, or the Acquisition Agreement, with (a) Novellus LLC or Seller, a Delaware limited liability company, (b) Novellus, Inc. or Parent, a Delaware corporation that is the sole equity holder of Novellus Therapeutics Limited, or Novellus, and that, prior to the closing under the Acquisition Agreement, was a wholly owned subsidiary of Seller and (c) the Sellers’ Representative named therein. Novellus is a pre-clinical stage biotechnology company organized under the laws of Ireland that is developing engineered cellular medicines using its licensed, patented non-immunogenic mRNA, high-specificity gene editing, mutation-free and footprint-free cell reprogramming and serum-insensitive mRNA lipid delivery technologies.

The closing of the transaction contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, or the Acquisition, was held contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of the Acquisition Agreement. At the closing:

• We acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Parent as the result of the merger of Brooklyn Acquisition Sub, Inc. with and into Parent, following which Parent, as the surviving corporation, became our wholly owned subsidiary and Novellus became our indirectly owned subsidiary.

• We acquired 25.0% of the total outstanding equity interests of NoveCite, Inc., a Delaware corporation focused on bringing an allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) product to patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including from COVID-19.

We delivered consideration for the Acquisition totaling approximately $125,000,000, which consisted of (a) approximately $23,000,000 in cash and (b) 7,022,230 shares, or the Shares, of our common stock, $0.005 par value per share, which under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement were valued at a total of $102,000,000, based on a price of $14.5253 per Share.

The Acquisition Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and certain indemnification provisions. A total of 740,766 of the Shares have been placed in escrow for a period of up to 12 months in order to secure indemnification obligations to us under the Acquisition Agreement. The Acquisition Agreement also contains non-competition and non-solicitation provisions pursuant to which the Seller has agreed not to engage in certain competitive activities for a period of five years following the closing, including customary restrictions relating to employees. No employees of Novellus or Parent prior to the Acquisition continued their employment, or were otherwise engaged by us, following the Acquisition.

In connection with the Acquisition, the co-founders of Novellus entered into lock-up agreements with respect to 3,377,690 of the Shares  received in the Acquisition and our Chair of the Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer and President have entered into identical lock-up agreements with respect to their current holdings of our securities. Each lock-up agreement extends for a period of three years, provided that up to 75% of the shares of common stock subject to the lock-up agreement may be released from the lock-up restrictions earlier if the price of common stock on the NYSE American stock exchange exceeds specified thresholds. The lock-up agreements include customary exceptions for transfers during the applicable lock-up period.

We expect the Acquisition will advance our evolution into a platform company with a pipeline of next-generation engineered cellular, gene editing and cytokine programs. In addition, the acquisition of Novellus builds on the exclusive license agreement dated as of April 26, 2021, or the License Agreement, that our wholly owned subsidiary Brooklyn ImmunoTherapeutics LLC entered into with Novellus and Factor Bioscience Limited, which was described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2021. The completion of the acquisition of Novellus relieves Brooklyn ImmunoTherapeutics LLC from potential obligations to pay Novellus certain upfront fees, clinical development milestone fees and post-registration royalties under the License Agreement. The agreement with Factor Bioscience Limited under the License Agreement, which grants Brooklyn ImmunoTherapeutics LLC exclusive rights to develop certain next-generation mRNA gene editing and cell therapy products, remains unchanged.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Acquisition, on July 16, 2021, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Seller and recipients of the Shares, or the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, covering the resale of 6,281,454 of the Shares. The Registration Rights Agreement terminates at such time as the parties thereto may sell their Shares without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.

iii

This Agreement and Plan of Acquisition (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 16, 2021, by and among Brooklyn ImmunoTherapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Brooklyn”), Brooklyn Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), Novellus LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ( “Seller”), Novellus, Inc., a Delaware corporation ( “Parent,” and collectively with Brooklyn, Merger Sub and Seller, the “Parties”) and Matthew Angel, in his capacity as Sellers’ Representative. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit A.

Recitals

A.          The boards of directors of each of Brooklyn, Merger Sub, and Parent and the board of managers of Seller believe it is advisable and in the best interests of such Party and its respective equity holders that Brooklyn acquire Parent through the statutory merger of Merger Sub with and into Parent (the “Merger”).

B.          In connection with and as a condition to the Merger, Seller wishes to sell and Brooklyn wishes to purchase from Seller 500 shares (the “NoveCite Shares”) of common stock of NoveCite, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NoveCite”), which represent 25.0% of the total outstanding equity interests in NoveCite (the “Stock Acquisition”).

C.           In furtherance of the above, the boards of directors of each of Brooklyn, Merger Sub, and Parent, and the board of managers of Seller have approved this Agreement, the Merger, and the Stock Acquisition.

D.           This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Parties as of immediately before the Effective Time.

E.           Pursuant to the Merger, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) at the Effective Time, all of the Parent Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth herein and (ii) concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any other securities of Parent that may be convertible into or exchangeable for Parent Shares shall be paid in full as set forth herein.

F.           Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a material inducement to Brooklyn and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, (i) Parent is delivering to Brooklyn a true, correct and complete copy of a duly executed irrevocable written consent executed by each stockholder of Parent and (ii) Seller is delivering to Brooklyn a true, correct and complete copy of a duly executed irrevocable written consent executed by the members holding at least a majority of the membership interests in Seller entitled to vote thereon, which written consents evidence the approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, as applicable, this Agreement, the Merger, the Stock Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants and other premises set forth in this Agreement, the mutual benefits to be gained by the performance thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the Parties agree as follows:

1

Article 1.

(b)          Effects of Merger Generally.

(i)           At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

(ii)         The certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety as of the Effective Time in the form attached as Exhibit C, until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and as provided in such certificate of incorporation. The bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in their entirety as of the Effective Time in the form attached as Exhibit D, until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and as provided in the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws.

(iii)        The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold the office of a director of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

(iv)         The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the provisions of the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(c)          Effect of the Merger on the Parent Shares.

(i)           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or any of the Parent Stockholders, all of the Parent Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any Parent Shares issued and held in Parent’s treasury) shall be canceled and extinguished and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Consideration set forth in Section 2.2(a), issuable in accordance with Section 2.3 without interest and subject to any applicable Tax withholding to the Parent Stockholders, upon surrender of the certificates representing such Parent Shares (“Certificates”) pursuant to Section 2.4. For purposes of calculating the amount of Merger Consideration payable to each Parent Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1.1, (A) all Parent Shares held (or deemed to be held, as the case may be) by each Parent Stockholder and for which consideration is to be issued under the terms of this Agreement shall be aggregated and (B) the Merger Consideration shall be allocated to the Parent Stockholders pro rata based on the aggregate numbers of Parent Shares held, provided that (x) the Consideration Shares and the Merger Cash Consideration shall be allocated among the Parent Stockholders in accordance with the Consideration Spreadsheet, (y) no fractional shares of Brooklyn Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger and (z) any rounding required with respect to the allocation of Consideration Shares or Merger Cash Consideration to the Parent Stockholders shall be resolved in the discretion of Seller and set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet.

2

(ii)          At and after the Effective Time, each Parent Share issued and held in Parent’s treasury at the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, be canceled and be retired without payment of any consideration therefor and cease to exist.

(iii)        At the Effective Time, all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into an aggregate of 100 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(iv)        At and after the Effective Time, all holders of Parent Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of Parent, except the right to receive the consideration (if any) set forth in this Section 1.1 for each Parent Share held by them.

(v)         At the Effective Time, Brooklyn shall surrender the certificate representing the outstanding shares of Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall issue to Brooklyn in exchange therefor a certificate representing the 100 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation to which Brooklyn is entitled pursuant to Section 1.1(c)(iii).

(d)          No Transfer of Shares After the Effective Time. No transfers of Parent Shares shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation at or after the Effective Time.

(e)         Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Parties intend that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Parties shall not take any position that is contrary to the characterization of the Merger as such a reorganization on any U.S. federal income Tax Return or for any other purpose related to U.S. federal income Tax. The Parties agree that this Agreement is a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and hereby adopt it as such.

(f)          Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Brooklyn, Seller, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Parent Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement such amount as such corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any applicable Tax Legal Requirement. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Parent Stockholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

3

(g)         Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Parent, Brooklyn, Merger Sub, and the officers and directors of Parent, Brooklyn and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

1.2          Stock Acquisition.

(ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Brooklyn Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification for any Damages arising solely from a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) unless such claim (or series of related claims arising from the same underlying facts, events or circumstances) involves Damages in excess of $10,000 (the “Claim Threshold” and any such claim that exceeds the Claim Threshold, a “Brooklyn Indemnifiable Claim”) and unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages under all Brooklyn Indemnifiable Claims shall exceed $100,000 (the “Basket”), at which time all Damages incurred in excess of the Basket shall be subject to indemnification hereunder (subject to Section 6.1(a)(iii)); and

(iii) recovery of the Escrowed Shares shall be the sole recourse for Brooklyn Indemnitees for the obligations set forth in Section 6.2(a).

(b)          All representations and warranties made by Brooklyn shall terminate and expire as of the Closing Date, and any liability of Brooklyn with respect to such representations and warranties shall thereupon cease.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(i) the limitations set forth in Section 6.1(a)(ii) shall not apply to the representations and warranties, and the indemnification obligations relating thereto, set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.19, and 3.28; and

(ii) the limitations set forth in Section 6.1(a) shall not apply to any claim of Fraud, claims for which shall survive the Closing may be brought for a period of six years following the Closing.

(d)          The covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing shall survive the Closing.

6.2          Indemnification.

(a)         From and after the Closing Date (but subject to Section 6.1 and the other terms of this Agreement), the Founders shall, severally and not jointly in proportion to their respective membership interests in Seller immediately prior to the Closing, hold harmless and indemnify each of the Brooklyn Indemnitees from and against any Damages that are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred at any time by any of the Brooklyn Indemnitees or to which any of the Brooklyn Indemnitees may otherwise directly or indirectly become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and that arise from or as a result of:

36

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller or Parent in this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller or Parent in this Agreement;

(iii) except to the extent reflected in the calculation of Indebtedness, any Pre‑Closing Taxes;

(iv) any inaccuracies in the Closing Statement or the Consideration Spreadsheet, including with respect to the Closing Cash;

(v) any matter set forth in numbered paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 of Section 3.24 of the Disclosure Schedule; and

(vi) any Indebtedness of the Company Group other than the Closing Indebtedness.

(b)          From and after the Closing Date (but subject to Section 6.1 and the other terms of this Agreement), the Seller Indemnifying Parties shall, severally and not jointly in proportion to the respective amounts of combined Merger Consideration and NoveCite Cash Consideration received by each of them, hold harmless and indemnify each of the Brooklyn Indemnitees from and against any Damages that are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred at any time by any of the Brooklyn Indemnitees or to which any of the Brooklyn Indemnitees may otherwise directly or indirectly become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and that arise from or as a result of any Fraud on the part of Seller or Parent.

(c)        If the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Corporation as an Indemnitee) Brooklyn shall also be deemed to have incurred Damages as a result of such inaccuracy or breach.

(d)          The Parties agree that, other than in cases of Fraud, cancellation of the Escrowed Shares shall be the sole recourse for Brooklyn Indemnitees for the obligations of the Seller Indemnifying Parties set forth in this Article 6.

6.3         Satisfaction of Claims. Any amounts owed to a Brooklyn Indemnitee on account of a Brooklyn Indemnifiable Claim hereunder, other than a Brooklyn Indemnifiable Claim pursuant to Section 6.2(b) shall be satisfied by release of such number of Escrowed Shares as is equal to the amount of Damages associated with such Brooklyn Indemnifiable Claim (valued at a price per Escrowed Share equal to the BTX Per Share Price); provided, however, that if the amount of such Damages exceeds the value of the Escrowed Shares (valued at a price per Escrowed Share equal to the BTX Per Share Price) then held by the Escrow Agent, the Brooklyn Indemnitee shall be entitled to a release of all remaining Escrowed Shares. In the event a Brooklyn Indemnitee is entitled to a release of Escrowed Shares on account of a Brooklyn Indemnifiable Claim made before July 16, 2022, and the Escrow Agent receives Joint Written Directions, or a Final Order (each as defined in the Escrow Agreement) in connection with such Brooklyn Indemnifiable Claim, the Escrow Agent shall exercise its rights under the Stock Power (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) delivered to the Escrow Agent at the Closing and release to such Brooklyn Indemnitee in accordance with the Escrow Agreement such number of Escrowed Shares as is equal in value (valued at a price per Escrowed Share equal to the BTX Per Share Price) to the amount of Damages set forth in such Joint Instructions, Arbitration Award or Court Order.

37

6.4          Claim Procedures. Any Claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to Article 6 by Brooklyn on behalf of itself or another Brooklyn Indemnitee (and, at the option of Brooklyn, any claim based upon Fraud) shall be brought and resolved as follows:

(a)          If any Indemnitee has or claims in good faith to have incurred or suffered, or believes in good faith that it may incur or suffer, Damages for which it is or may be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Article 6 or for which it is or may otherwise be entitled to a monetary remedy relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, such Indemnitee may deliver a claim notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Seller Indemnifying Parties. Each Claim Notice shall (i) state that the Indemnitee believes in good faith that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Article 6 or is or may otherwise be entitled to a monetary remedy relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) contain a brief but reasonable description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Indemnitee’s claim and (iii) if practicable, contain a non-binding, preliminary, good faith estimate of the amount to which the Indemnitee might be entitled (the aggregate amount of such estimate, as it may be modified by the Indemnitee in good faith from time to time, being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”).

(b)         During the thirty-day period commencing upon receipt by the Sellers’ Representative of a Claim Notice from an Indemnitee (the “Dispute Period”), the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Seller Indemnifying Parties) may deliver to the Indemnitee a written response in which the Sellers’ Representative (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, (ii) agree that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, or (iii) indicate that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee. If the Response Notice is delivered in accordance with clause (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Response Notice shall also contain a brief and reasonable description of the facts and circumstances supporting the claim that only a portion or no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, as the case may be. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be owed to the Indemnitee pursuant to the Response Notice (or the entire Claimed Amount, if the Sellers’ Representative asserts in the Response Notice that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee) being referred to as the “Contested Amount” (it being understood that the Contested Amount shall be modified from time to time to reflect any good faith modifications by the Indemnitee to the Claimed Amount). If a Response Notice is not received by the Indemnitee from the Sellers’ Representative prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then the Indemnifying Party shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that an amount equal to the full Claimed Amount shall be owed to the Indemnitee and shall be payable in accordance with Section 6.3.

(c)         If the Sellers’ Representative delivers a Response Notice to the Indemnitee during the Dispute Period indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the Sellers’ Representative and the Indemnitee shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If the Sellers’ Representative and the Indemnitee resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding on the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnitee and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to such Indemnitee (the “Stipulated Amount”) shall be signed by such Indemnitee and the Seller’s Representative (on behalf of the Seller Indemnifying Parties). Thereafter, the Seller Indemnifying Party, the Sellers’ Representative and Brooklyn shall promptly, subject to the terms of Section 6.3 and the other terms of this Article 6, deliver a Joint Written Instruction to the Escrow Agent with respect to the Stipulated Amount in accordance with Section 6.3.

38

6.5          Dispute Resolution.

(a)         Disputes. In the event that there is a dispute relating to any Claim Notice or Contested Amount (whether it is a matter between the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Parties, on the other hand, or is a matter that is subject to a Claim or Legal Proceeding asserted or commenced by a third party brought against the Indemnitee), such dispute (an “Arbitrable Dispute”) shall be settled by binding arbitration, and the Brooklyn Indemnitee or Brooklyn, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties), on the other hand, shall countersign all documents required in connection with the commencement of any such arbitration within five Business Days after receiving a written request from the other. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 6.5 shall prevent the Indemnitee from seeking preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction pending settlement of any Arbitrable Dispute.

(b)          Arbitration. Except as specifically stated herein, any Arbitrable Dispute shall be resolved by mandatory, final and binding arbitration to be held in Boston, Massachusetts and, except as herein specifically stated, in accordance with the J.A.M.S. Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect (the “J.A.M.S. Rules”). The arbitration provisions of this Section 6.5(b) shall govern over any conflicting rules that may now or hereafter be contained in the J.A.M.S. Rules. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the subject matter thereof. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any equitable and legal remedies that would be available in any judicial proceeding instituted to resolve a Dispute. The Arbitrator may not assign a value greater than the greatest value claimed for by the Indemnitee or smaller than the smallest value asserted in defense by the Indemnifying Party or the Sellers’ Representative on its behalf. The decision of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim in the relevant Claim Notice (the “Award”) shall be nonappealable, final, conclusive, and binding upon the parties to this Agreement and the Indemnifying Parties. If the arbitrator grants an Award to an Indemnitee, then, subject to any applicable limitations set forth in this Article 6, each Indemnifying Party shall, within ten Business Days following the date of the Award, pay to the applicable Indemnitee in cash such Indemnifying Party’s pro rata portion of such Award; provided, that other than in the case of indemnification for Fraud pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(iv), recovery of the Escrowed Shares shall be the sole recourse for Brooklyn Indemnitees for the obligations of the Seller Indemnifying Parties set forth in this Article 6.

(c)          Compensation of Arbitrator. Any such arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator who will be compensated for his or her services at a rate to be determined by Brooklyn together with the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Seller Indemnifying Parties) or by J.A.M.S., but based upon reasonable hourly or daily consulting rates for the arbitrator in the event the parties are not able to agree upon his or her rate of compensation.

(d)         Selection of Arbitrator. Brooklyn and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Seller Indemnifying Parties) will cooperate with Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services or its successor (“J.A.M.S.”) in promptly selecting from a list of arbitrators who are lawyers familiar with Delaware contract law one arbitrator from the J.A.M.S. panel of neutrals; provided, however, that (i) such arbitrator cannot work for a firm then performing services for either party and (ii) each party will have the opportunity to make such reasonable objection to any of the arbitrators listed as such party may wish. In the event that Brooklyn and the Sellers’ Representative cannot agree on an arbitrator within three Business Days after either party’s issuance of a written demand for arbitration, J.A.M.S. will select the arbitrator pursuant to the J.A.M.S. Rules.

39

(e)          Payment of Costs. Brooklyn and the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties) will bear the expense of deposits and advances required by the arbitrator in equal proportions, but either party may advance such amounts, subject to recovery as an addition or offset to any award. The arbitrator will award to the prevailing party, as determined pursuant to Section 6.5(i), all costs, fees and expenses related to the arbitration, including fees and expenses of attorneys, consultants, experts and other professionals incurred by the prevailing party.

(f)          Award. Upon the conclusion of any arbitration proceedings hereunder, the arbitrator will render findings of fact and conclusions of law and a written opinion setting forth the basis and reasons for any decision reached and will deliver such documents to each party to this Agreement along with a signed copy of the Award, which shall be consistent with such findings of fact and conclusions of law and written opinion.

(g)          Terms of Arbitration. The arbitrator chosen in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.5 will not have the power to alter, amend or otherwise affect the provisions of this Agreement, including the terms of these arbitration provisions.

(h)         Confidentiality. At the request of Brooklyn or the Sellers’ Representative (on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties), the arbitrators, attorneys, parties to the arbitration, witnesses, experts, court reporters, or other Persons present at an arbitration shall agree in writing to maintain the strict confidentiality of the proceedings.

(i)           Prevailing Party. For purposes of this Section 6.5, in any arbitration pursuant to this Section 6.5 in which any claim or the amount thereof stated in the Claim Notice is at issue, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party unless the arbitrator awards the Indemnitee 50% or more of the amount in dispute, in which case the Indemnifying Parties shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own expenses, the fees of the arbitrator and the administrative fee of J.A.M.S.

(j)           Exclusive Remedy. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the arbitration contemplated by this Section 6.5 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties for any Dispute.

6.6          Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a)        Defense of Claims by Indemnitee. Subject to Section 6.6(b), in the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any Claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against Seller, Surviving Corporation, Brooklyn or any other Person) with respect to which any Indemnifying Party may become obligated to hold harmless or indemnify any Indemnitee pursuant to Article 6, such Indemnitee shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding on its own with a single counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Sellers’ Representative. If an Indemnitee so proceeds with the defense of any such Claim or Legal Proceeding, subject to the other provisions of Article 6, all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such Claim or Legal Proceeding (and all amounts due pursuant to any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such Claim or Legal Proceeding) shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Indemnifying Parties (subject to the limitations in Section 6.1(a)(iii)). If the Indemnitee does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party may proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee.

40

(b)        Defense of Claims by the Indemnifying Party. In the event (i) any Person asserts or commences any Claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against Seller, Surviving Corporation, Brooklyn or any other Person) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may become obligated to hold harmless or indemnify any Indemnitee pursuant to Article 6 and (ii) the amount of Damages that the Indemnitee believes in good faith that the Indemnitees may incur or suffer relating to such claim or Legal Proceeding, together with the amount of potential Damages relating to other pending claims under this Article 6, does not exceed the amount that may be withheld and deducted in accordance with Section 6.3, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election and expense, to proceed with the defense of such Claim or Legal Proceeding on their own with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such Claim or Legal Proceeding or if at any time the Indemnitee determines in good faith that the Damages relating to such Claim or Legal Proceeding reasonably could exceed the limitation set forth in Section 6.3, the Indemnitee may elect to proceed with the defense of such Claim or Legal Proceeding with a single counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party and all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding (and all amounts due pursuant to any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim or Legal Proceeding) shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Indemnifying Parties (subject to the limitations in Section 6.1(a)(iii)).

(c)        General. No Indemnifying Party may settle, adjust or compromise any such Claim or Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Indemnitee shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of the commencement of any such Legal Proceeding against an Indemnitee, provided that any failure on the part of an Indemnitee to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not limit any of the obligations of any Indemnifying Party under Article 6 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Legal Proceeding). The party not controlling the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding (the “Non-Controlling Party”) may participate in any Claim or Legal Proceeding at its own expense (other than any fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense, which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement). The party controlling the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding (the “Controlling Party”) shall (i) keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such claim or Legal Proceeding and the defense thereof (including all material developments and events relating thereto) and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto and (ii) make available to the Non-Controlling Party any documents or materials in its possession or control that may be necessary to understand the defense of such claim. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Claim or Legal Proceeding.

6.7         Mitigation; Defenses. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Brooklyn Indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification under any provision of this Agreement for any amount to the extent such Brooklyn Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates has been indemnified for such amount under any other provision of this Agreement or the Exhibit or Disclosure Schedule attached to this Agreement, or any other document executed in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. The amount of any Damages incurred by a Brooklyn Indemnitee shall be reduced by the net amount such Brooklyn Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof actually recovers from (a) any insurer or (b) other party liable for such Damages, less the net present value of any future increase in premiums, if such increase is a direct result of such Damages, payable by such Brooklyn Indemnitee and less the costs of recovering such amounts, and Brooklyn shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect any such recovery. Brooklyn shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its Damages upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages.

41

6.8         Exclusive Remedy. Except in the event of Fraud and except for equitable remedies, from and after the Closing Date the rights to indemnification set forth in this Article 6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnitees with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement or any of the other matters set forth in Section 6.2.

6.9         Exercise of Remedies Other Than by Brooklyn. Brooklyn (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be required to be a party to any claim on behalf of any Brooklyn Indemnitee. No Buyer Indemnitee other than Brooklyn (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Brooklyn (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

6.10        No Effect of Materiality. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of the indemnification obligations under this Article 6, all of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate furnished pursuant to this Agreement that are qualified as to materiality, Company Group Material Adverse Effect, or any similar qualification or standard shall be deemed to have been made without any such qualification or standard solely for purposes of determining the amount of Damages resulting from or arising out of any such breach of representations or warranties (but such qualifiers shall not be disregarded in determining whether there was a breach or inaccuracy).

6.11       Treatment of Indemnity Payments Between the Parties. Unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements, all indemnification payments will constitute adjustments to the aggregate merger consideration for all Tax purposes, and no Party shall take any position inconsistent with such characterization.

6.12        Release of Escrowed Shares. On July 16, 2022, in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, Brooklyn and the Sellers’ Representative will instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute any remaining Escrowed Shares, less the number of Escrowed Shares necessary for the satisfaction of any Claim for indemnification under Article 6 pending as of such date, in proportion to their relative membership interests in Seller immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Article 7.

Miscellaneous Provisions

7.1         No Waiver Relating to Claims for Fraud. The liability of any Person under Article 6 will be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other liability that such Person may have at law or in equity based on such Person’s Fraud. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions set forth in Article 6, shall be deemed a waiver by any party of any right or remedy that such party may have at law or in equity based on any other Person’s Fraud, nor will any such provisions limit, or be deemed to limit (a) the amounts of recovery sought or awarded in any such Claim for Fraud, (b) the time period during which a Claim for Fraud may be brought, or (c) the recourse that any such party may seek against another Person with respect to a Claim for Fraud.

42

7.2          Sellers’ Representative.

(a)          Matthew Angel (the “Sellers’ Representative”) is hereby irrevocably appointed as the Sellers’ Representative with all the rights, powers and obligations contemplated by this Section 7.2, and any successor Sellers’ Representative(s) designated under this Section 7.2 as the sole, exclusive, true and lawful agent, representative and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and on behalf of all Seller Indemnifying Parties, and each of them, with respect to any and all matters arising out of this Agreement following the Closing (including in connection with the Escrowed Shares) and the Escrow Agreement, including for purposes of taking any action or omitting to take action on behalf of all Seller Indemnifying Parties or each of them hereunder. All actions, notices, communications and determinations by or on behalf of Seller Indemnifying Parties in accordance herewith shall be given or made by the Sellers’ Representative and all such actions, notices, communications and determinations by the Sellers’ Representative shall conclusively be deemed to have been authorized by, and shall be binding upon, any and all Seller Indemnifying Parties. Without derogating from the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative shall notify each Founder prior to taking any such action.

(b)          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, the Sellers’ Representative shall have full power and authority to negotiate and sign all documents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and to grant, provide, negotiate and sign all waivers, consents, instructions and authorizations and to take all other actions called for under or contemplated by or that may otherwise be necessary or appropriate in connection with this Agreement or any of the foregoing agreements or instruments and to prosecute, defend and settle in the Seller’s’ Representative’s discretion all indemnification disputes (including hiring counsel and other litigation assistance) and to receive all notices, requests and demands that may be made under and pursuant to this Agreement. From and after the Closing, Brooklyn shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Sellers’ Representative in respect of any matter arising under this Agreement and the Seller Indemnifying Parties shall be bound by all actions taken by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with such matters.

(c)          Should the Sellers’ Representative die, become legally incapacitated or bankrupt or, in the case of a successor Sellers’ Representative that is not a natural person, dissolve or liquidate, or otherwise similarly be unable to serve or to appoint a successor to serve in his stead, the Founder Majority shall designate in writing to Brooklyn within five Business Days a single Person to replace the Sellers’ Representative as the successor Sellers’ Representative hereunder. If at any time there shall not be a Sellers’ Representative and a Founder Majority fails to designate in writing a successor Sellers’ Representative within five Business Days after receipt of a written request delivered by Brooklyn to Seller requesting that a successor Sellers’ Representative be designated, then Brooklyn may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a new Sellers’ Representative hereunder. As used in this Section 7.2(c), “Founder Majority” means the consent or approval of Seller Indemnifying Parties who would be entitled to receive a majority of the Escrowed Shares if then distributed.

(d)          All of the costs and expenses incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in connection with this Agreement shall be payable by Seller. Any remaining funds not used by Sellers’ Representative will be distributed in accordance with Seller’s limited liability company operating agreement as then in effect upon conclusion of the Sellers’ Representative’s duties as the Sellers’ Representative.

(e)          The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnifying Parties for any act done or omitted hereunder in his, her or its capacity as the Sellers’ Representative, unless caused by his, her or its willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence. In all questions arising in respect of any matter arising under this Agreement, the Sellers’ Representative may rely on the advice of counsel and any action based upon such reliance shall relieve the Sellers’ Representative of any Liability hereunder. Brooklyn shall not be liable to Seller or the Seller Indemnifying Parties for any act done or omitted hereunder by the Sellers’ Representative.

43

(f)          Each Seller Indemnifying Party, severally, shall indemnify and defend the Sellers’ Representative and hold the Sellers’ Representative harmless against his, her or its pro rata share of any loss, Liability, deficiency, damage, cost, or expense or actions incurred by the Sellers’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance, performance or administration of the Sellers’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement (including, to the extent applicable, the Escrow Agreement), including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel, accountants, auditors and other advisors retained by the Sellers’ Representative.

7.3          Fees and Expenses. Subject to Article 6, each Party shall bear and pay all fees, costs and expenses that have been incurred or that are incurred in the future by such Party in connection with the Transactions, including all fees, costs and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with or by virtue of (a) the negotiation, preparation and review of this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) and all agreements, certificates, opinions and other instruments and documents delivered or to be delivered in connection with the Transactions and (b) the preparation and submission of any filing or notice required to be made or given in connection with any of the Transactions, and the obtaining of any Consent required to be obtained in connection with any of such transactions.

7.4         Attorneys’ Fees. If any action at law or in equity (including arbitration) is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of any of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such Party may be entitled.

7.5         Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally to, or upon other actual receipt by, the Party to be notified, (b) if delivered by e-mail, (i) on the date sent if delivered on a Business Day prior to the end of normal business hours of the Party to be notified or (ii) otherwise, on the first Business Day following the date sent, (c) on the first Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered utilizing a next-day service by a recognized next-day courier or (d) on the earlier of confirmed receipt or the fifth Business Day following the date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

Counterparts may be delivered via electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

(a)         Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any action, suit or other Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement (including an action, suit or other Legal Proceeding based upon Fraud) shall be brought or otherwise commenced exclusively in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts or any Massachusetts state court located in Boston, Massachusetts, provided that if jurisdiction is not then available in any such court, then in any other Massachusetts state court. Each Party (i) expressly and irrevocably Consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts in connection with any such action, suit or Legal Proceeding, (ii) agrees that each such court shall be deemed to be a convenient forum, and (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise), in any such action, suit or Legal Proceeding commenced in any of the aforesaid courts, any Claim that such Party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such action, suit or Legal Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such action, suit or Legal Proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such court.

(b)          Except as set forth in Article 6, any Claim for indemnification pursuant to Article 6 shall be brought and resolved exclusively in accordance with Article 6 (it being understood that, for the avoidance of doubt and without limiting any portion of Section 7.8(a), nothing in this Section 7.8(b) shall prevent any Indemnitee from seeking preliminary injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy from a court of competent jurisdiction).

45

7.9          Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Parties irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any action, suit or other Legal Proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions.

(c)       Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of Section 5(b) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least one hundred days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 5 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(d)      Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5 shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made, or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded.

(e)      Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, in order to include information with respect to a stockholder proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholders’ meeting, stockholders must provide notice as required by the regulations promulgated under the 1934 Act.

No business may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in such notice. The Board of Directors shall determine the time and place of such special meeting, which shall be held not less than thirty-five nor more than one hundred-twenty days after the date of the receipt of the request. Upon determination of the time and place of the meeting, the officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of these Bylaws.

Section 7.     Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice, given in writing or by electronic transmission, of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, such notice to specify the place, if any, date and hour, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes of the meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at any such meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Notice of the time, place, if any, and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice thereof or by electronic transmission by such person, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder by his attendance thereat in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, except when the stockholder attends a meeting 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 such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.

Section 8.    Quorum. At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairman of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute, or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy duly authorized, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. Except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of shares of such class or classes or series present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or classes or series.

3

Section 9.    Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time either by the chairman of the meeting or by the vote of a majority of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 10.   Voting Rights. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the Corporation on the record date, as provided in Section 12, shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Every person entitled to vote or execute consents shall have the right to do so either in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted in accordance with the DGCL. An agent so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted after three years from its date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

Section 11.   Joint Owners of Stock. If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one votes, his act binds all; (b) if more than one votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or may apply to the Delaware Court of Chancery for relief as provided in Section 217(b) of the DGCL. If the instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even‑split for the purpose of the foregoing clause (c) shall be a majority or even‑split in interest.

Section 12.   List of Stockholders. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, 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 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. The list shall be open to examination of any stockholder during the time of the meeting as provided by law.

(a)      Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required by statute to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, or by electronic transmission setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock 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.

(b)      Every written consent or electronic transmission shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent, and no written consent or electronic transmission shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner herein required, written consents or electronic transmissions signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take action are 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 a corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and officersunder this Section 43 shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the Corporation and the director or officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Section 43 to a director or officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety days of request therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting the claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the Corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL or any other applicable law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an officer of the Corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such executive officer is or was a director of the Corporation) for advances, the Corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL or any other applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(d)       Non‑Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section 43 shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. 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 or any other applicable law.

(e)       Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section 43 shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(f)        Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, or any other applicable law, the Corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 43.

(g)       Amendments. Any repeal or modification of this Section 43 shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Section 43 in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the Corporation.

(h)      Saving Clause. If this Section 43 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Section 43 that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law. If this Section 43 shall be invalid due to the application of the indemnification provisions of another jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall indemnify each director and officer to the full extent under applicable law.

15

(i)        Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 43, the following definitions shall apply:

(1)     The term “proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.

(2)      The term “expenses” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees, witness fees, fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection with any proceeding.

(3)       The term the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger that, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section 43 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(4)       References to a “director,” “executive officer,” “officer,” “employee,” or “agent” of the Corporation shall include situations where such person is serving at the request of the Corporation as, respectively, a director, executive officer, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

Without limiting the manner by which notice may otherwise be given effectively to stockholders under any agreement or contract with such stockholder, and except as otherwise required by law, written notice to stockholders for purposes other than stockholder meetings may be sent by United States mail or nationally recognized overnight courier, or by facsimile, telegraph or telex or by electronic mail or other electronic means.

(b)      Notice to Directors. Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by the method stated in subsection (a) of this Section 44, or as provided for in Section 21. If such notice is not delivered personally, it shall be sent to such address as such director shall have filed in writing with the Secretary, or, in the absence of such filing, to the last known post office address of such director.

16

(c)       Affidavit of Mailing. An affidavit of mailing, executed by a duly authorized and competent employee of the Corporation or its transfer agent appointed with respect to the class of stock affected or other agent, specifying the name and address or the names and addresses of the stockholder or stockholders, or director or directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given, and the time and method of giving the same, shall in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts therein contained.

(d)      Methods of Notice. It shall not be necessary that the same method of giving notice be employed in respect of all recipients of notice, but one permissible method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other permissible method or methods may be employed in respect of any other or others.

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 under any provision of the DGCL, 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.

(f)       Notice to Stockholders Sharing an Address. Except as otherwise prohibited under DGCL, any notice given under the provisions of DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the 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. Such consent shall have been deemed to have been given if such stockholder fails to object in writing to the Corporation within 60 days of having been given notice by the Corporation of its intention to send the single notice. Any consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation.

ARTICLE XIII. AMENDMENTS

Section 45.   Amendments. The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE XIV. LOANS TO OFFICERS

Section 46.   Loans to Officers.

(i)          Promptly following the Closing Date, but no later than 30 days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), Brooklyn shall prepare and file with the SEC one Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities. No Holder shall be named as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without such Holder’s prior written consent, and if the SEC requests that the Holder be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, such Holder shall have an opportunity to withdraw its Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement. Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such Registration Statement shall not include any shares of Common Stock or other securities for the account of any other holder without the prior written consent of each of the Required Holders. Such Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 5(c) to the Holders prior to its filing or other submission. Further, Brooklyn shall provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Holders for review at least three Business Days in advance of filing the Registration Statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Brooklyn be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with any Holder’s review.

(ii)          The Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a)(i) shall be on Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, Brooklyn shall (A) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on such other form as is available to Brooklyn and (B) so long as Registrable Securities remain outstanding, promptly following the date (the “Qualification Date”) upon which Brooklyn becomes eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for resale, but in no event more than thirty days after the Qualification Date (the “Qualification Deadline”), file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities (or a post-effective amendment on Form S-3 to a registration statement on Form S-1) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter; provided that Brooklyn shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Shelf Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

3

(b)     Expenses. Brooklyn will pay all expenses associated with each Registration Statement, including filing and printing fees, Brooklyn’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws and listing fees, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold.

3.       Effectiveness.

(a)     Effectiveness Deadline. Brooklyn shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have each Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after such Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC, but no later than the Effectiveness Deadline. By 5:30 p.m. Eastern time on the second Business Day following the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, Brooklyn shall file with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act, the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement. Brooklyn shall notify the Holders by e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 24 hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the Holders with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby.

(b)     For not more than 30 consecutive days, and for not more than 60 total days, in each case, in any 12 month period, Brooklyn may suspend the use of any Prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section 3 in the event that Brooklyn determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (i) delay the disclosure of material nonpublic information concerning Brooklyn, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of Brooklyn, in the best interests of Brooklyn or (ii) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that Brooklyn shall promptly (w) notify each Holder in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of the Holder) disclose to such Holder any material nonpublic information giving rise to such Allowed Delay, (x) advise the Holders in writing to cease all sales under such Registration Statement until the end of such Allowed Delay, (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate such Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable and (z) notify each Holder in writing within 24 hours when such Allowed Delay is terminated.

4.     Rule 415; Cutback. If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is a primary offering or not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, or requires any Holder to be named as an “underwriter,” Brooklyn shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advocate before the SEC its reasonable position that the offering contemplated by such Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 (a “Constructive Primary Offering”) and that no Holder is an “underwriter.” One representative of the Holders (appointed by written consent of the Required Holders) and his, her or its counsel shall have the right to review and oversee any registration or matters pursuant to this Section 4, including participation in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position, and to comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto. In the event that, despite Brooklyn’s commercially reasonable efforts, the SEC does not alter its position, Brooklyn shall (i) remove from such Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure Brooklyn’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, that Brooklyn shall not agree to name any Holder as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of such Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 4, the term “commercially reasonable efforts” shall not require Brooklyn to institute or maintain any action, suit or proceeding against the SEC or any member of the Staff of the SEC. Any cut-back imposed on the Holders pursuant to this Section 4 shall be allocated among the Holders on a pro rata basis and shall be applied first to any of the Registrable Securities of such Holder as such Holder shall designate, unless the SEC Restrictions otherwise require or provide or the Holders otherwise agree. The parties agree that Brooklyn’s delay or failure to have a Registration Statement declared effective, solely to the extent resulting from the SEC taking the position that the offering is a Constructive Primary Offering, shall not be a breach of any provision of this Agreement. From and after such date as Brooklyn is able to effect the registration of such Cut Back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions applicable to such Cut Back Shares (such date, the “Restriction Termination Date”), all of the provisions of Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 (including Brooklyn’s obligations with respect to the filing of a Registration Statement and its obligations to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective within the time periods set forth herein) shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares; provided, (i) that the Filing Deadline and/or the Qualification Deadline, as applicable, for such Registration Statement including such Cut Back Shares shall be ten Business Days after such Restriction Termination Date, and (ii) the date by which Brooklyn is required to obtain effectiveness with respect to such Cut Back Shares under Section 3 shall be the ninetieth day immediately after the Restriction Termination Date (or the one hindered twentieth day if the SEC reviews such Registration Statement).

4

In no event shall Brooklyn be liable for fees and expenses of more than two counsels separate from its own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

(b)     Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Brooklyn, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls Brooklyn (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any Losses resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in any Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Holder, relating to such Holder, to Brooklyn specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto (“Holder Information”). In no event shall the liability of Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 7 and the amount of any damages such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c)    Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, other than reasonable costs of investigation, shall be at the expense of such person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists 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); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give written notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than two separate firms of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof (i) the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation and (ii) a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by, or on behalf of, any indemnified party.

8

(d)     Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 7 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

8.      Existing Registration Statements.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and subject to applicable law and regulation, Brooklyn may satisfy any obligation hereunder to file a Registration Statement or to have a Registration Statement become effective by a specified date by designating, by notice to the Holders, a Registration Statement that previously has been filed with the SEC or become effective, as the case may be, as the relevant Registration Statement for purposes of satisfying such obligation, and all references to any such obligation shall be construed accordingly; provided that such previously filed Registration Statement may be, and is, amended or, subject to applicable securities laws, supplemented to add the number of Registrable Securities, and, to the extent necessary, to identify as selling stockholders those Holders demanding the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Exhibit 99.1

Brooklyn ImmunoTherapeutics Completes Acquisition of Novellus Therapeutics

Acquisition Advances Transformation Into Platform Company Focused on Cell, Gene Editing and Cytokine Therapy

Company to hold Conference Call Today, July 19, 2021, at 4:15PM ET to Discuss the Transaction and Future Plans

New York – July 19, 2021 – Brooklyn ImmunoTherapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American: BTX) (“Brooklyn”), a biopharmaceutical company focused on exploring the role that cytokine and gene editing/cell therapy can have in treating patients with cancer, blood disorders, and monogenic diseases, today announced that it had completed, on July 16, 2021, its acquisition of Novellus Therapeutics Limited (“Novellus”). Novellus is developing next‑generation engineered mesenchymal stem cell (“MSC”) therapies using extensively patented mRNA-based cell reprogramming and gene editing technologies licensed from Factor Bioscience (“Factor”). The transaction advances Brooklyn’s evolution into a platform company with a pipeline of next-generation engineered cellular, gene editing and cytokine programs.

Key Transaction Highlights:

• Brooklyn acquired Novellus for consideration totaling $125 million, which consisted of $23 million in cash and 7,022,230 shares of Brooklyn common stock, which were valued at a total of $102 million based on a price of approximately $14.53 per share. Immediately following the closing, the shares issued represented, on an as-converted basis, 13.6% of the shares of Brooklyn’s outstanding common stock, which closed at a price of $10.05 per share on July 16, 2021.

• The co-founders of Novellus entered into lock-up agreements with respect to 3,377,690 of the shares of Brooklyn common stock issued in the transaction. The contractual lock-ups extend for a period of three years, subject to certain early release provisions based on the Brooklyn stock price. In support of the transaction, Brooklyn’s Board Chair and its Chief Executive Officer and President entered into identical lock-up agreements with respect to their current holdings.

• Following the transaction, Brooklyn had approximately $25 million of cash, which Brooklyn projects, based on its current operating plans, will be sufficient to fund operations through the end of 2023.

• The transaction relieves Brooklyn from its obligation to pay Novellus a set of upfront fees, clinical development milestone fees and post-registration royalties under a license agreement that Brooklyn entered into in April 2021 with Novellus and Factor. In addition, the acquisition builds on the license agreement, and leaves in place the Factor component of that agreement, which grants Brooklyn exclusive rights to develop certain next-generation mRNA-based gene editing and cell therapy products.

• As a result of the acquisition, Brooklyn also acquired 25% of the outstanding equity of NoveCite, Inc., a company focused on bringing an allogeneic (off-the-shelf) MSC product to patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including from COVID-19.

“We are confident that the Novellus transaction will provide significant forward momentum in the gene editing and mRNA spaces,” said Brooklyn’s Chief Executive Officer and President Howard J. Federoff, M.D., Ph.D. “The addition of Novellus will accelerate our research and development efforts, potentially facilitating faster development of clinical products for orphan diseases such as sickle cell anemia, familial amyloidosis and cell therapies for cancer. We believe the transaction makes it possible for us to enter first-in-human trials as early as 2023 and positions Brooklyn to become a leader in stem cell therapies, gene editing and mRNA therapeutics, with the ability to develop multiple therapeutic candidates rapidly.”

“We look forward to continuing to update our stockholders on our progress and to speaking with them to provide additional details on this transformative transaction,” concluded Dr. Federoff.

Brooklyn will be conducting a conference call at 4:15PM ET on July 19, 2021 to discuss the transaction and future plans. Participants can register for the call here and will receive dial-in information to put them directly into the call. Those who are unable to register may access the conference by calling 1-866-777-2509 (toll free U.S.) or 1-412-317-5413 (internationally) and then asking the operator to join them into the Brooklyn ImmunoTherapeutics conference call. The conference will also be webcast, which can be accessed here. A replay of the call will be available via the webcast link as well as on Brooklyn’s website in the investor relations section, for one week following the call.
