Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Business Combination Agreement

As previously announced, on November 15, 2022, Chavant Capital Acquisition Corp., a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Chavant”), CLAY Merger Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and newly formed, wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Chavant (“Merger Sub”), and Mobix Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Mobix Labs”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into Mobix Labs, with Mobix Labs surviving the merger as a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Chavant (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Proposed Transaction”). Upon closing of the Proposed Transaction, the combined company will be named Mobix Labs, Inc. (referred to herein as “Mobix”). The principal terms of the Business Combination Agreement, which contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions and other terms relating to the Proposed Transaction, are summarized below. Capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Merger Consideration

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the “Aggregate Transaction Consideration” for holders of Mobix Labs common stock and preferred stock is a number of shares of class A common stock, par value $0.00001 (the “Class A Common Stock”), or class B common stock, par value $0.00001 (the “Class B Common Stock”), as the case may be, of Chavant (from and after the effective time of the Domestication (as defined below)) equal to (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the assumed value of Mobix Labs of $235.0 million by (ii) $10.00 plus (b) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, comprising the Earnout Shares (as defined below). The Aggregate Transaction Consideration will be issued to holders of Mobix Labs securities as described under “—Conversion of Securities of Mobix Labs” below.

Structure of the Proposed Transaction

The Proposed Transaction is structured as a reverse triangular merger, which includes, among others, the following steps:

(1) On the Business Day immediately prior to Closing, Chavant will take the steps necessary to transfer its registration from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”), where it will then immediately incorporate as a Delaware corporation pursuant to a Certificate of Incorporation, the form of which is attached as Exhibit C-2 to the Business Combination Agreement. Chavant will also take all lawful actions (i) to adopt the bylaws attached as Exhibit D to the Business Combination Agreement; (ii) to issue one share of Class A Common Stock in exchange for and on conversion in connection with the Domestication of each SPAC Ordinary Share outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication and (iii) to issue a warrant exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock in exchange for and on conversion in connection with the Domestication of each SPAC Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication; and

(2) Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”), at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), Merger Sub will be merged with and into Mobix Labs, with Mobix Labs surviving as a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Chavant. The Merger will become effective immediately upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

Conversion of Securities of Mobix Labs

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger:

(1) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding dissenting shares and treasury shares) shall automatically be converted into and become the right to receive a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Per Share Exchange Ratio (as defined below);

(2) Each share of Company Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding dissenting shares and treasury shares) shall automatically be converted into and become to right to receive a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the Per Share Exchange Ratio;

(3) Each share of Company Founders Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than treasury shares) shall automatically be converted into and become the right to receive up to the number of Class B Common Stock equal to the Per Share Exchange Ratio;

(4) All treasury shares of Mobix Labs will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto.

The “Per Share Exchange Ratio” is the number obtained by dividing the Closing Transaction Consideration (the Aggregate Transaction Consideration minus the Earnout Shares) by the Company Fully-Diluted Number, which reflects the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock into which the shares of Company Preferred Stock could be converted, the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants to purchase Company Common Stock and convertible financing instruments that convert into Company Common Stock or shares of Company Preferred Stock, and the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon vesting and settlement of outstanding restricted stock units relating to Company Common Stock.

Additionally, prior to the Effective Time, Mobix Labs will take all lawful actions necessary so that, as of the Effective Time:

(1) Each Company In-the-Money Vested Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time is converted (with such conversion calculated net of any applicable exercise price) into a right to receive a specified number of shares of Class A Common Stock;

(2) Each Company Option that is not a Company In-the-Money Vested Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time is assumed by Chavant and converted into a stock option to acquire a specified number of shares of Class A Common Stock, and will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to that Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time;

(3) Each Company RSU that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, is assumed by Chavant and automatically converted into a restricted stock unit covering a specified number of shares of Class A Common Stock, and will continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to that Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(4) Each Company Warrant and Company Convertible Instrument that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time is converted (with such conversion calculated net of any applicable exercise price) into a right to receive a specified number of shares of Class A Common Stock.

Additionally, the Business Combination Agreement also provides for a seven-year “Earnout Period,” commencing on the date that is the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, pursuant to which up to 1.75 million shares of Class A Common Stock will be distributed if the specified VWAP of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $12.50 during the Earnout Period and an additional 1.75 million shares of Class A Common Stock will be distributed if the specified VWAP of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $15.00 during the Earnout Period (such shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under the circumstances described in this paragraph, collectively, the “Earnout Shares”).

Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation of Mobix to be effective after the Closing, a form of which is attached as Exhibit C—Part 2 to the Business Combination Agreement, (i) the holders of Class A Common Stock and the holders of Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of Mobix and (ii) each holder of outstanding Class B Common Stock will be entitled to ten votes for each share of Class B Common Stock held by such holder.

Post-Closing Board of Directors and Officers

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Chavant has agreed to take all lawful action so that at the Effective Time, (i) the board of directors of Mobix will be the individuals set forth in Exhibit G to the Business Combination Agreement, divided into three classes, with James Peterson acting as Executive Chairman, with Chavant’s current chief executive officer, Jiong Ma, acting as a director and with the holders of the Class B Common Stock entitled to elect up to three members of the board of directors at any given time and (ii) the chief executive officer will be Fabrizio Battaglia, the president and chief financial officer will be Keyvan Samini and the chief technology officer will be James Aralis.

A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Business Combination Agreement is included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Chavant, Mobix Labs or Merger Sub. In particular, the assertions embodied in representations and warranties by Chavant, Mobix Labs and Merger Sub contained in the Business Combination Agreement were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors and are qualified by information in the disclosure schedules provided by the parties in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Chavant, Mobix Labs or Merger Sub and the Business Combination Agreement should only be read in conjunction with the other information that Chavant makes publicly available in reports, statements and other filings.

Related Agreements

Sponsor Letter Agreement

Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Chavant Capital Partners LLC (the “Sponsor”) and certain director and officer holders (together with the Sponsor, the “SPAC Parties”) entered into a sponsor letter agreement (the “Sponsor Letter Agreement”) with Chavant and Mobix Labs, pursuant to which the SPAC Parties agreed to, among other things, (a) vote, or cause to be voted, all SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Warrants held by the SPAC Parties in favor of adopting the Business Combination Agreement and the Proposed Transaction; (b) vote against any merger, purchase of all or substantially all of any person’s assets or other business combination transaction (other than the Business Combination Agreement in connection with the Proposed Transaction) or any proposal, action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to impede, frustrate or prevent the Proposed Transaction, or violate certain provisions of the Business Combination Agreement; (c) not elect to redeem or otherwise tender or submit for redemption its SPAC Ordinary Shares in connection with the Proposed Transaction; (d) not transfer or deposit into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or any similar agreement, or grant a proxy or power of attorney, with respect to the SPAC Ordinary Shares held by the SPAC Party, or enter into any agreement inconsistent with or that would restrict performance of such SPAC Party’s obligations under the Sponsor Letter Agreement; and (e) cause any securities of Chavant that a SPAC Party purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership in after the execution of the Sponsor Letter Agreement to be subject to the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Sponsor Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Letter Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

PIPE Investment

Concurrently and in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Chavant entered into a subscription agreement (the “PIPE Subscription Agreement”) with ACE SO4 Holdings Limited (the “PIPE Investor”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investor has agreed to purchase 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate amount of $30.0 million, substantially concurrently with the closing of the Proposed Transaction, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the PIPE Subscription Agreement. Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreement, Chavant has agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Class A Common Stock acquired by the PIPE Investor (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”) within 45 days of Closing.

Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreement, Chavant agreed to issue additional shares of Class A Common Stock to the PIPE Investor in the event that the volume weighted average price per share of the Class A Common Stock during the 30-day period commencing on the date that is 30 days after the date on which the PIPE Resale Registration Statement is declared effective (the “Adjustment Period VWAP”) is less than $10.00 per share. In such case, the PIPE Investor will be entitled to receive a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the PIPE Investor at the closing of the subscription and held by the PIPE Investor through the date that is 30 days after the effective date of the PIPE Resale Registration Statement multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP. In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $7.00, the Adjustment Period VWAP shall be deemed to be $7.00.

In addition, the PIPE Investor agreed that it will not exercise voting rights relating to the Class A Common Stock representing a 10% or greater voting interest in Mobix on any matter subject to a vote of holders of common shares and agreed that it will not obtain or exercise, as a result of its investment in Mobix, (i) “control,” as such term is defined under applicable regulations within the jurisdiction of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”), of Mobix or its subsidiaries, (ii) access to any “material non-public technical information,” within the meaning of such regulations, in the possession of Mobix and its subsidiaries, (iii) the right to appoint any board member or board observer to the board of directors of Mobix or its subsidiaries or (iv) any involvement in any “substantive decision-making,” within the meaning of such regulations, related to Mobix or its subsidiaries.

The foregoing description of the PIPE Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the PIPE Subscription Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement

In connection with the consummation of the Proposed Transaction, an Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement will be entered into by Mobix, the Sponsor, certain former equityholders of Chavant (collectively with the Sponsor, the “Founder Equityholders”), certain equityholders of Mobix Labs (the “Legacy Holders” and, together with the Founder Equityholders and certain other holders, the “Holders”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, Mobix will be obligated, within 45 days of the consummation of the Proposed Transaction, to file a registration statement to register the resale of certain securities of Mobix held by the Holders (the “Registrable Securities”) and to use reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practical after the initial filing of the registration statement. The Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement will also provide the Holders with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement further provides the Founder Equityholders and Legacy Holders shall not transfer their SPAC Common Stock until (a) with respect to 50% of such shares, for a period ending on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date and the date on which the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the Proposed Transaction or (b) with respect to the remaining 50% of such shares, for a period ending on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date and the date on which the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of the Proposed Transaction.

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the form of Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement attached to the Business Combination Agreement as Exhibit A, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Each SPAC Option so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, with each holder of such SPAC Option as so assumed and converted being for that number of shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock out of the Closing Transaction Consideration and, as applicable, out of the Earnout Shares, in each case, as set forth opposite such holder’s name on the Rollover Spreadsheet as calculated in accordance with this Section 3.01(c)(ii); provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the SPAC Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided, further, that in the case of any SPAC Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

(a) Exchange Agent. On the Closing Date, SPAC shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company that shall be designated by SPAC and is reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), it being agreed that CST is satisfactory to all parties, for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock and Company Founder Preferred Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock (including an allocation between SPAC Class A Common Stock and SPAC Class B Common Stock) sufficient to deliver the Closing Transaction Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement (such certificates for shares of SPAC Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.02(c), being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). SPAC shall cause the Exchange Agent pursuant to irrevocable instructions, to pay the Closing Transaction Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. Except as contemplated by Section 3.02(c) hereof, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, SPAC shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock and Company Founder Preferred Stock entitled to receive the Closing Transaction Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01: a letter of transmittal, which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to SPAC and the Company (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and shall specify (i) that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates evidencing such shares of Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock and Company Founder Preferred Stock (the “Certificates”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent or confirmation of cancellation of such Certificates from the Company’s transfer agent; and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal. Within two (2) Business Days (but in no event prior to the Effective Time) after the surrender to the Exchange Agent of all Certificates held by such a holder for cancellation, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore, and SPAC shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver, the Closing Transaction Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.02, each Certificate entitled to receive the Closing Transaction Consideration in accordance with Section 3.01 shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Closing

Transaction Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares of SPAC Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to the SPAC Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of SPAC Common Stock represented thereby until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.02(b). Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, SPAC shall pay or cause to be paid to the holder of such Certificate, without interest, (i) promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to the shares of SPAC Common Stock evidenced by such Certificate, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to the shares of SPAC Common Stock evidenced by such Certificate.

(d) No Further Rights in Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock or Company Founder Preferred Stock. The Closing Transaction Consideration payable upon conversion of the Company Common Stock or the Company Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock or Company Founder Preferred Stock.

(e) Adjustments to Closing Transaction Consideration. The Closing Transaction Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to SPAC Ordinary Shares occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Domestication Effective Time and with respect to the SPAC Common Stock occurring after the Domestication Effective Time and prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock and Company Founder Preferred Stock for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to SPAC, upon demand, and any holders of Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock or Company Founder Preferred Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Section 3.02 shall thereafter look only to SPAC for the Closing Transaction Consideration. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock and Company Founder Preferred Stock as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of SPAC free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(g) No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, SPAC or the Surviving Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, be liable to any holder of Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock or Company Founder Preferred Stock for any such Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock or Company Founder

Preferred Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law in accordance with Section 3.01.

(h) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation and SPAC shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock, Company Options, Company RSUs or Company Founder Preferred Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or SPAC, as the case may be, and timely remitted to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock or Company Founder Preferred Stock (or intended recipients of compensatory payments) in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or SPAC, as the case may be.

(i) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Closing Transaction Consideration that such holder is otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 3.01.

Section 3.03 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock or Company Founder Preferred Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock or Company Founder Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Stock, Company Series A Preferred Stock or Company Founder Preferred Stock, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law.

On the Closing Date following the Closing, SPAC shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all such Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses shall not include any fees and expenses of the Company Stockholders that were not incurred by or on behalf of the Company.

(b) No sooner than five (5) or later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, SPAC shall provide to the Company a written report setting forth a list of all fees, expenses and disbursements incurred by or on behalf of SPAC or Merger Sub for outside counsel, agents, advisors, consultants, experts, financial advisors and other service providers engaged by or on behalf of SPAC or Merger Sub in connection with the Transactions or otherwise in connection with SPAC’s operations (together with written invoices and wire transfer instructions for the payment thereof) (collectively, the “Outstanding SPAC Transaction Expenses”). On the Closing Date following the Closing, SPAC shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all such Outstanding SPAC Transaction Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding SPAC Transaction Expenses shall not include any fees and expenses of the SPAC Shareholders that were not incurred by or on behalf of the SPAC.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by Company Stockholders who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall be cancelled, cease to exist, represent the right to receive only those rights provided by Section 262 of the DGCL and not be converted into, and such stockholders shall have no right to receive, the Aggregate Transaction Consideration. Any holder of Dissenting Shares who, after the Effective Time, fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted his, her or its shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Aggregate Transaction Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 3.01(c), of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give SPAC (i) prompt notice (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) of any demands for appraisal received by the Company and any withdrawals of such demands, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of SPAC (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise comply with the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL, or agree or commit to do any of the foregoing.

Section 3.06 Earn-Out.

(a) Following the Closing, in addition to the Closing Transaction Consideration, if, at any time during the period commencing on the date that is the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date and expiring on the date that is the eight (8) year anniversary of the Closing Date (such period, the “Earnout Period”):

(i) The VWAP of the shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 for any twenty (20) Trading Days within a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (the “First Level Earnout Target”), then as soon as commercially practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following the achievement of the First Level Earnout Target, the Company Stockholders and the holders of Company In-the-Money Vested Options and Company Options that are not Company In-the-Money Vested Options (the “Earnout Recipients”) shall be entitled to receive, and the SPAC shall cause the issuance to the Earnout Recipients of, 1,750,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock (the “First Level Earnout Shares”), to be allocated among the Earnout Recipients in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Payment Spreadsheet; and

(ii) The VWAP of the shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 for any twenty (20) Trading Days within a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (the “Second Level Earnout Target” and, together with the First Level Earnout Target, the “Earnout Targets”), then as soon as commercially practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following the achievement of the Second Level Earnout Target, the Earnout Recipients shall be entitled to receive, and the SPAC shall cause the issuance to the Earnout Recipients of, 1,750,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock (the “Second Level Earnout Shares” and together with the First Level Earnout Shares, the “Earnout Shares”), to be allocated among the Earnout Recipients in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Payment Spreadsheet.

(b) If, during the Earnout Period, there is a Change of Control in which the SPAC stockholders have the right to exchange their shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding the VWAP underlying the Earnout Targets (for any non-cash proceeds, as determined based on the agreed valuation set forth in the applicable definitive agreements for such transaction or, in the absence of such valuation, as determined in good faith by the SPAC Board) (an “Acceleration Event”), then, immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, (a) any such Earnout Target that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred and (b) the Earnout Recipients shall be entitled to receive the Earnout Shares, to be allocated among the Earnout Recipients in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Payment Spreadsheet, such that the Earnout Recipients shall be eligible to participate in such Change of Control with respect to such Earnout Shares, as applicable. The applicable Earnout Target shall be deemed satisfied in connection with a Change of Control if (a) the aggregate value of the proceeds payable to, or in the event of an asset sale, available for distribution to, SPAC’s stockholder divided by (b) the sum of (i) the number of outstanding SPAC Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control plus (ii) the number of SPAC Common Stock issuable pursuant to the applicable Earnout Target, equal or exceed the VWAP underlying the applicable Earnout Target.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Earnout Shares issuable pursuant to Section 3.06(a) will be released to any Earnout Recipient who is required to file a notification pursuant to the HSR Act or under any applicable Antitrust Laws until any applicable waiting period pursuant to the HSR Act or applicable Antitrust Laws has expired or been terminated, or required approval under any other Antitrust Law is obtained; provided that any such Earnout Recipient has notified SPAC of such required filing pursuant to the HSR Act or other Antitrust Law in connection therewith following reasonable advance notice from SPAC of the reasonably anticipated issuance of Earnout Shares.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Earnout Targets may all be satisfied over the same period of Trading Days or any other periods that have overlapping Trading Days, and if each Earnout Target is separately met (i) the Earnout Shares in connection with each such Earnout Target shall be earned and no longer subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.06, and shall be cumulative with the Earnout Shares earned prior to such time and (ii) in no event shall the Earnout Recipients be entitled to receive in the aggregate more than the Earnout Shares.

(e) If any Earnout Target is satisfied during the Earnout Period, the obligations to issue Earnout Shares in this Section 3.06 with respect to such Earnout Target shall terminate and no longer apply.

(f) The Earnout Shares and the Earnout Targets shall automatically be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into shares of SPAC Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to shares of SPAC Common Stock, occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the time any such Earnout Shares are delivered to the Earnout Recipients, if any.

(g) Any issuance of Earnout Shares, including any issuance of Earnout Shares made upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event pursuant to Section 3.06(b), shall be treated as an adjustment to the Aggregate Transaction Consideration by the Parties hereto for Tax purposes and not treated as “other property” within the meaning of Section 356 of the Code, unless otherwise required by applicable law as a result of a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code).

In the event that the Company commences any action or proceeding against or involving the Trust Fund in violation of the foregoing, SPAC shall be entitled to recover from the Company the associated reasonable legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event SPAC prevails in such action or proceeding. The Company agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by SPAC and its affiliates to induce SPAC to enter in this Agreement, and the Company further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Company and each of its affiliates under applicable law. This Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(c) The Company shall notify SPAC promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt by the Company or its Representatives of any Company Acquisition Proposal in writing, any inquiry in writing that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal or any written request for non-public information relating to the Company or for access to the business, properties, assets, personnel, books or records of the Company by any third party, in each case after the date hereof and until the Effective Date or, if earlier, the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01, and in connection with such third party’s consideration of acquiring the Company.

(d) Except as set forth in this Section 7.05(d), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i)(A) fail to make, change, withdraw, withhold, amend, modify or qualify, or publicly propose to make, change, withdraw, withhold, amend, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to SPAC or Merger Sub, the Company Board’s recommendation that the Company Stockholders approve and adopt this Agreement and the Merger, or (B) adopt, approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve, endorse or recommend to the Company Stockholders any Company Acquisition Proposal or Company Superior Proposal (other than the Merger and the other Transactions), (ii) make any public statement inconsistent with the Company Board’s recommendation that the Company Stockholders approve and adopt this Agreement and the Merger, (iii) resolve or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any of the foregoing, a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (iv) authorize, cause or permit the Company or any its Representatives to enter into any Company Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of the Written Consent, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(i) to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal only if the Company Board has reasonably determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that (i) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (ii) that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal; provided, however, that prior to taking such action, (A) the Company promptly notifies SPAC, in writing, at least three (3) Business Days (the “Company Notice Period”) before making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or entering into a Company Acquisition Agreement, of its intention to take such action with respect to a Company Superior Proposal, which notice shall (1) state expressly that the Company has received a Company Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board intends to declare a Company Superior Proposal and that the Company Board intends to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or the Company intends to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement, and (2) include a copy of the most current version of the proposed agreement relating to such Company Superior Proposal (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis, but in each case redacted as necessary to exclude the identity of the third party making such Company Superior Proposal), and a description of any financing commitments relating thereto, (B) the Company shall and shall instruct its Representatives to, during the Company Notice Period, negotiate with SPAC in good faith in respect of adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Company Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Company Superior Proposal, if SPAC, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Company Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Company Superior Proposal, including, any

revision in price, the Company Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) Business Days remains in the Company Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies SPAC of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions)), and (C) following the end of such Company Notice Period (as extended pursuant to the preceding clause (B)) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with its outside legal counsel, that such Company Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Company Superior Proposal after taking into account any adjustments made by SPAC during the Company Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and provided, further, that the Company shall have complied with its obligations under this Section 7.05(d).

Section 7.06 Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) SPAC shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries, as applicable, to provide the employees of the Company who remain employed immediately after the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”) credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and determining the level of benefits, as applicable, under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by SPAC or any of its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any employee benefit plan as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA and any vacation or other paid time-off program or policy) for service accrued or deemed accrued prior to the Effective Time with the Company; provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of any such benefit. In addition, SPAC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause to be waived any eligibility waiting periods, any evidence of insurability requirements and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations under each of the employee benefit plans established or maintained by SPAC or any of its subsidiaries that cover the Continuing Employees or their dependents, and (ii) cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, during the portion of the plan year in which the Closing occurs, under those health and welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employee currently participates to be taken into account under those health and welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employee participates subsequent to the Closing Date for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance, and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year. Following the Closing, SPAC and the Surviving Corporation will honor all accrued but unused vacation and other paid time off of the Continuing Employees that existed immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) SPAC shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, assume, honor and fulfill all of the Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, as such Plans may be modified or terminated from time to time in accordance with their terms.

(c) The provisions of this Section 7.06 are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreement, and nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer upon any Continuing Employee or legal representative or beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any other person, any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, whether as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise, including, without limitation, any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or level of compensation or benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, shall constitute an

amendment or modification of any employee benefit plan of the Company or shall require the Company, SPAC, the Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries to continue any Plan or other employee benefit arrangements, or prevent their amendment, modification or termination.

Section 7.07 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification; D&O Tail.

(a) The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of SPAC and the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement or expense reimbursement than are set forth in the bylaws of the Company, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law.

(b) Each of SPAC and the Surviving Corporation shall purchase (which shall be paid for in full by the Company) and have in place at the Closing a “tail” or “runoff” policy (the “D&O Tail”) providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those persons who are covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company or SPAC as of the Closing with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time. The D&O Tail shall provide for terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts that are no less favorable than those of the policy in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time for the benefit of the Company’s directors and officers and shall remain in effect for the six (6) years following the Closing.

Section 7.08 Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) The Company shall give prompt notice to SPAC, and SPAC shall give prompt notice to the Company, of any event which a party becomes aware of between the date of this Agreement and the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX), the occurrence, or non-occurrence of which causes or would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII to fail.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including anything set forth in Section 7.04), the Company shall give prompt written notice to SPAC, but in any event within no less than five (5) Business Days following such event, if (i) any Material Contract set forth in Sections 4.16(a)(i), (vii) or (xiv) of the Company Disclosure Schedule has been terminated (or such termination has been threatened) or any material modifications or amendments have been made to any Material Contract set forth in Sections 4.16(a)(i), (vii) or (xiv) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (or if any such material modification or amendment has been proposed); or (ii) there are any material discussions with personnel who have decision making authority or changes that would reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on any of the Company's business relations or arrangements with any of the parties to any Material Contract set forth in Sections 4.16(a)(i), (vii) or (xiv) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including anything set forth in Section 7.04), if the Company reasonably determines in good faith on the advice of outside legal counsel that it is restricted by or prohibited under applicable confidentiality or similar undertakings or by applicable Law from providing any notice required to be delivered under this Section 7.08, the Company shall (A) notify

SPAC or SPAC’s outside legal counsel of that fact and shall provide such notice and the grounds for such determination as shall be permitted under the circumstances, and (B) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such notice to be provided in a manner that would not be so restricted or prohibited.

(c) No notification given by the Company under this Section 7.08 shall limit or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of the Company contained in this Agreement.

Section 7.09 Further Action; Reasonable Best Efforts.

In case, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of each party shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all such action.

(b) Each of the parties shall (and shall cause each of its affiliates to) keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the Transactions, including promptly notifying the other parties of any communication it or any of its affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permitting the other parties to review in advance, and to the extent practicable consult about, any proposed communication by such party to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. No party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. Subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties will provide each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications, including any documents, information and data contained therewith, between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions. No party shall take or cause to be taken any action before any Governmental Authority that is inconsistent with or intended to delay its action on requests for a consent or the consummation of the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.09(b) or this Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that Section 7.13 sets forth the sole obligations with respect to filings under the HSR Act or

any other Antitrust Law of SPAC, Merger Sub, Sponsor and their Affiliates, (to the extent any such obligations exist), which shall be governed solely by Section 7.13.

Section 7.10 Public Announcements. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release the text of which has been agreed to by each of SPAC and the Company. Thereafter, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX) unless otherwise required by applicable Law or the rules of Nasdaq, each of SPAC and the Company shall each use its reasonable best efforts to consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that each of SPAC and the Company may make any such announcement or other communication (a) if such announcement or other communication is required by applicable Law or the rules of Nasdaq, in which case the disclosing party shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, first allow the other party to review such announcement or communication and the opportunity to comment thereon and the disclosing party shall consider such comments in good faith, (b) to the extent such announcements or other communications contain only information previously disclosed in a public statement, press release or other communication previously approved in accordance with this Section 7.10, and (c) to Governmental Authorities in connection with any consents, approvals and authorizations required to be made under this Agreement or in connection with the Transactions.

Section 7.11 Tax Matters. SPAC and the Company intend that, for United States federal income Tax purposes, (a) the Domestication will qualify for the Domestication Intended Tax Treatment and (b) the Merger will qualify for the Merger Intended Tax Treatment. Neither the Company nor SPAC has taken or will take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause either (i) the Domestication to fail to qualify for the Domestication Intended Tax Treatment or (ii) the Merger to fail to qualify for the Merger Intended Tax Treatment. The Domestication and the Merger shall be reported by the parties for all Tax purposes in accordance with the foregoing, unless otherwise required by a Governmental Authority as a result of a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

Section 10.03 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 10.04 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede, except as set forth in Section 7.04(b), all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise) by any party without the prior express written consent of the other parties hereto.

Section 10.05 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than Section 7.07 (which is intended to be for the benefit of the persons covered thereby and may be enforced by such persons).

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") pursuant to the Expedited Procedures set forth in its Commercial Arbitration Rules, as in effect on the date hereof.

Section 10.08 Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the parties’ obligation to consummate the Merger) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state Court without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Underwritten Offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.5, other than if a withdrawing Demanding Holder or Demanding Holders elect to pay such Registration Expenses pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 2.1.5.

2.1.6 Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.1, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (a) inform each of the holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Shelf Registration as required by the Commission and/or (b) withdraw the Shelf Registration and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company for such registration statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”), including, without limitation, Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation (“C&DI”) 612.09. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event the Company amends the Shelf Registration or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (a) or (b) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Shelf Registration, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.

2.2 Piggyback Registration.

2.2.1 Piggyback Rights. If the Company proposes (a) to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company other than the Holders, other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in

connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, or (b) proposes to consummate an Underwritten Offering for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company other than the Holders, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed action to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities (excluding the Sponsor with respect to any Registrable Securities distributed by the Sponsor to its members) as soon as practicable (but in the case of filing a Registration Statement, not less than twenty (20) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement), which notice shall (x) describe the amount and type of securities to be included, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, and (y) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within ten (10) days in the case of filing a Registration Statement and five (5) days in the case of an Underwritten Offering (or two (2) days if such offering is a Block Trade), in each case, after receipt of such written notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company.

2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of the Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (a) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which the Underwritten Offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (b) the Registrable Securities as to which inclusion has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (c) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which inclusion has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a) If the Underwritten Offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Underwritten Offering (a) first, the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to include their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), Common Stock, if any, as to which inclusion has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

(b) If the Underwritten Offering is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Underwritten Offering (a) first, Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum

Number of Securities; (b) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (a), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to include their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (c) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (d) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to include pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or the launch of the Underwritten Offering with respect to such Piggyback Registration. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons or entities pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or abandon an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the launch of such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Underwritten Offering effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand effected under Section 2.1 hereof.

2.3 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If (a) the Holders of Registrable Securities have requested an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offering; or (b) in the good faith judgment of the Board, a Registration or Underwritten Offering would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result, that it is essential to defer the filing of the applicable Registration Statement or the undertaking of such Underwritten Offering at such time, then in each case, the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed or to undertake such Underwritten Offering in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or undertaking of such Underwritten Offering. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing or offering for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12-month period.

2.4 Block Trades. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, but subject to Sections 2.3 and 3.4, if the Holders desire to effect a Block Trade, then, notwithstanding any other time periods in this Article II, the Holders shall provide written notice to the Company at least five (5) business days prior to the date such Block Trade will commence. As expeditiously as possible, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade. The Holders shall use reasonable best efforts to work with the Company and the Underwriters (including by disclosing the maximum number of

Registrable Securities proposed to be the subject of such Block Trade) in order to facilitate preparation of the Registration Statement, Prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade and any related due diligence and comfort procedures. In the event of a Block Trade, and after consultation with the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) shall determine the Maximum Number of Securities, the underwriter or underwriters and the share price of such offering.

Article III
Company Procedures

3.1 General Procedures.

3.1.10 permit a representative of the Holders of Registrable Securities (such representative to be selected by a majority of the participating Holders), the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information; and provided further, the Company may not include the name of any Holder or Underwriter or any information regarding any Holder or Underwriter in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any response to any comment letter, without the prior written consent of such Holder or Underwriter and must provide each such Holder or Underwriter a reasonable amount of time to review and comment on such applicable document, which comments the Company shall include unless contrary to applicable law;

3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.12 on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion and negative assurance letter, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders of such Registrable Securities,

the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion and negative assurance letter are being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders;

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (a) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until he, she or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. Each Holder will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration or Underwritten Offering at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than two occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, or

more than one hundred and fifty (150) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Article V
Indemnification and Contribution

5.1 Indemnification.

5.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, and in the case of any Prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they

were made, not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of such a Holder.

5.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement for a Registration in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and in the case of any Prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

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

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

5.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 5.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall to the extent permitted by law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 5.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 5.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 5.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 5.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Second. The address of the Corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware is Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware 19801. The name of the Corporation’s registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.

Third. The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the “DGCL”).

Fourth.

A. Authorized Stock. The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is [●] million ([●]) shares, divided into three (3) classes as follows: (i) [●] million ([●]) shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”); (ii) [●] million ([●]) shares of Class B Common Stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock”); and (iii) [●] million ([●]) shares of Preferred Stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

B. Class A Common Stock. The powers (including voting powers), if any, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional, special or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of the shares of Class A Common Stock are as follows (references to Sections in this Article FOURTH Part B without reference to this Article FOURTH Part B are to Sections of this Article FOURTH Part B):

1. Ranking. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or by or pursuant to the provisions of this certificate of incorporation of the Corporation (including any certificate filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware establishing a series of Preferred Stock) (as the same may be amended or amended and restated from time to time, this “Certificate of Incorporation”), outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall have the same powers, if any, and the same preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, and the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions, if any, as, and be identical in all respects as to all matters to, the Class B Common Stock.

2. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation or by or pursuant to the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, including, without limitation, Article FOURTH Part C, (a) the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation and (b) each holder of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock held of record by such holder; provided, however, that the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, without the separate vote of the holders of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock voting separately as a single class.

3. Dividend and Distribution Rights. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, each holder of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to receive dividends or distributions when, as and if declared thereon by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) in its discretion; provided, however, that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no dividend or distribution shall be declared and paid or set apart for payment on outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock unless there shall also be or have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the same dividend or distribution; provided, further, that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, immediately following the payment of such dividend or distribution, the then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall have, in the aggregate, the same proportionate share ownership and voting power relative to the then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock as the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution had to the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock immediately prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, if a dividend or distribution of shares of Class A Common Stock or Rights (as defined below) to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock is declared and paid or set apart for payment on outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, a dividend or distribution of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock or Rights to acquire shares of Class B Common Stock shall be declared and paid or set apart for payment on outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock on similar terms and vice versa, such that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, immediately following the payment of such dividend or distribution, the then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall have, in the aggregate, the same proportionate share ownership and voting power relative to the then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock as the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution had to the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock immediately prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution.

4. Subdivisions, Combinations or Reclassifications. The outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be subdivided, combined or reclassified, whether by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, unless the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock are concurrently therewith proportionately subdivided, combined or reclassified, whether by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, in a manner that maintains, in the aggregate,

-2-

immediately following such subdivision, combination or reclassification, the same proportionate share ownership and voting power between the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, on the one hand, and the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, on the other hand, as was in effect immediately prior to such subdivision, combination or reclassification.

5. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, respectively, held by them. A merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity, or a sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property and assets (which shall not, in fact, result in the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and the distribution of the Corporation’s property and assets to its stockholders) shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 5.

6. Change of Control Transaction. Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, in the event of any Change of Control Transaction (as defined below) or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity that is not a Change of Control Transaction and is not governed by Section 4, the holders of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall share, ratably in proportion to the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, respectively, held by them, in: (a) in the case of a Change of Control Transaction described in clause (i) of the definition thereof, the aggregate consideration payable to the Corporation in connection with such Change of Control Transaction; (b) in the case of a Change of Control Transaction described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, the aggregate consideration payable to the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation in connection with the conversion or exchange of such shares upon such Change of Control Transaction; (c) in the case of a Change of Control Transaction described in clause (iii) of the definition thereof, the consideration receivable upon the conversion or exchange of such shares in connection with such Change of Control Transaction; and (d) in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity that is not a Change of Control Transaction and is not governed by Section 4, the aggregate consideration payable to the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation in connection with the conversion or exchange of such shares upon such merger or consolidation; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate consideration (i) payable to the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation in connection with the conversion or exchange of such shares upon a Change of Control Transaction described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof, (ii) receivable upon the conversion or exchange of such shares in connection with a Change of Control Transaction described in clause (iii) of the definition thereof and (iii) payable to the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation in connection with the conversion or exchange of such shares upon a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity that is not a Change of Control Transaction and is not governed by Section 4, in each case, shall not include any consideration payable to or receivable, as applicable, by a holder of shares of

-3-

capital stock of the Corporation pursuant to any employment, consulting, severance or similar service arrangement entered into in good faith and not with the purpose of avoiding ratable treatment of the holders of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock in proportion to the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, respectively, held by them; provided, further, that the holders of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall be required to receive Differential Consideration (as defined below) in connection with a Change of Control Transaction described in clause (iii) of the definition thereof and in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other entity that is not a Change of Control Transaction and is not governed by Section 4, and may receive Differential Consideration in connection with a Change of Control Transaction described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of the definition thereof.

7. Protective Provisions. For so long as any shares of Class A Common Stock shall remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly, whether by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without the prior vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the shares of Class A Common Stock then outstanding, voting or consenting separately as a single class, and any such act or transaction entered into without such vote or consent shall be null and void ab initio and have no force and effect:

(a) Amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers (including voting powers), if any, or the preferences or relative, participating, optional, special rights or other rights, if any, or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of the shares of Class A Common Stock so as to affect them adversely; and

(b) Amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers (including voting powers), if any, or the preferences or relative, participating, optional, special or other rights, if any, or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of the shares of Class B Common Stock, in a manner that would increase or improve the powers, preferences or rights of the Class B Common Stock relative to the Class A Common Stock.

C. Class B Common Stock. The powers (including voting powers), if any, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional, special or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of the shares of Class B Common Stock are as follows (references to Sections in this Article FOURTH Part C without reference to this Article FOURTH Part C are to Sections of this Article FOURTH Part C):

1. Ranking. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or by or pursuant to the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock shall have the same powers, if any, and the same preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, and the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions, if any, as, and be identical in all respects as to all matters to, the Class A Common Stock.

-4-

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation or by or pursuant to the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, including, without limitation, Article FOURTH Part B, (a) the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock and the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation and (b) each holder of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to ten (10) votes for each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder.

(b) Class B Directors.

-7-

transaction entered into without such vote or consent shall be null and void ab initio and have no force and effect:

(b) Amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, if such amendment, alteration or repeal would alter or change the powers (including voting powers), if any, or the preferences or relative, participating, optional, special or other rights, if any, or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of the shares of Class A Common Stock, in a manner that would increase or improve the powers, preferences or rights of the Class A Common Stock relative to the Class B Common Stock.

8. Conversion.

(a) Voluntary Conversion. Each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock may, at the option of the holder thereof, exercisable at any time upon written notice to the Corporation as provided in this Section 8(a), be converted into one (1) fully-paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock. Any holder of an outstanding share of Class B Common Stock desiring to convert such share into a share of Class A Common Stock as aforesaid shall (i) deliver written notice to the Corporation specifying the number of outstanding share(s) of Class B Common Stock to be converted and (ii) surrender the certificate(s) representing the outstanding share(s) of Class B Common Stock to be converted, duly indorsed for transfer to the Corporation, in each case, at the principal executive office of the Corporation or the office of any transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock.

(b) Automatic Conversion Upon the Conversion Event. Each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall be automatically, without further action by the holder thereof, be converted into one (1) fully-paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock upon the Conversion Event (as defined below).

(c) Automatic Conversion Upon a Disposition. An outstanding share of Class B Common Stock shall be automatically, without further action by the holder thereof, be converted into one (1) fully-paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock upon the Disposition (as defined below) of such share of Class B Common Stock other than to a Permitted Transferee (as defined below).

(d) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of outstanding share(s) of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive certificate(s) representing the share(s) of Class A Common Stock into which such share(s) of Class B Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to this Section 8, such holder shall have surrendered the certificate(s) therefor, duly indorsed for transfer to the Corporation, at the principal executive office of the Corporation or the office of any transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such conversion and surrender, issue and deliver at such office to such holder,

-8-

or the nominee(s) of such holder, certificate(s) representing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 8, and the certificate(s) representing the share(s) of Class B Common Stock so surrendered shall be cancelled. In the event that there shall have been surrendered certificate(s) representing outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, only a portion of which shall been converted pursuant to Section 8(a) or Section 8(c), as applicable, then the Corporation shall also issue and deliver to such holder, or the nominee(s) of such holder, certificate(s) representing the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock which shall not have been converted pursuant to Section 8(a) or Section 8(c), as applicable. A conversion of outstanding share(s) of Class B Common Stock pursuant to Section 8(a) shall be deemed to have been made at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of the surrender of the certificate(s) representing shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted, subject to the prior or contemporaneous delivery of the written notice of such holder’s election to convert required by Section 8(a), and the individual(s) or entit(ies) entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of share(s) of Class B Common Stock pursuant to Section 8(a) shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such share(s) of Class A Common Stock as of such date.

(e) Reservation of Shares of Class A Common Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to this Section 8, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all of the then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Section 8.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Qualified Stockholder (or a qualified representative) does not, or such Qualified Stockholders (or their qualified representatives) do not, as applicable, appear at such special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present such nomination, question or business, (i) such nomination, question or business shall not be considered or transacted at such special meeting notwithstanding that proxies in respect of the nomination, question or business for which such special meeting is called may have been received by the Corporation and (ii) the chairperson of such special meeting shall determine and declare to such special meeting that such nomination, question or business was not properly brought before such special meeting in accordance with this Section 1.2 and shall so declare to such special meeting that such nomination, question or business shall not be transacted. Except as provided in this Section 1.2, special meetings of stockholders may not be called by any other person or persons. Any special meeting of stockholders may be postponed by action of the Board of Directors or by the person calling such meeting (if other than the Board of Directors) at any time in advance of such meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

(b) The written request of a Qualified Stockholder or Qualified Stockholders, as applicable, contemplated by Section 1.2(a) shall (i) state the purpose or purposes of the requested special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and include (A) a brief description of the nomination, question or business constituting the purpose or purposes of such special meeting, (B) the text of any such question or business (including the text of any resolution or resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws (as the same may be amended and restated, these “Bylaws”), the text of the proposed amendment), (C) the reason or reasons for considering such nomination or question or transacting such business at such special meeting and (D) any material interest or interests in such nomination, question or business of such Qualified Stockholder or each of such Qualified Stockholders, as applicable, and of each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf such request is made, (ii) the name and address of such Qualified Stockholder or each of such Qualified Stockholders, as applicable, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf such request is made, (iii) the class, series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such Qualified Stockholder or each of such Qualified Stockholders, as applicable, and each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf such request is made, (iv) a representation that such Qualified Stockholder or each of such Qualified Stockholders, as applicable, is a holder of record of shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such special meeting and such Qualified Stockholder (or a qualified representative) or each of such Qualified Stockholders (or a qualified representative), as applicable, intends to appear in person or by proxy at such special meeting to propose such nomination, question or business and (v) a representation as to whether such Qualified Stockholder or each of such Qualified Stockholders, as applicable, or each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf such request is made, intends to or is part of a group which intends to (A) deliver by proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock required to elect such nominee or approve or adopt such question or business constituting the purpose or purposes of such special meeting and/or (B) otherwise solicit proxies from stockholders of the Corporation in support of such nomination, question or business.

Section 1.3 Notice of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a notice of the meeting shall be given that shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting.

Section 1.4 Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, if any, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person or by proxy and vote at such adjourned meeting are (i) announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, (ii) displayed, during the time scheduled for the meeting, on the same electronic network used to enable stockholders and proxy holders to participate in the meeting by means of remote communication or (iii) set forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with Section 1.3 of these Bylaws. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 1.8 of these Bylaws, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 1.5 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, by or pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority in voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders so present may, by a majority in voting power thereof, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 1.4 of these Bylaws until a quorum shall attend. Shares of the Corporation’s capital stock shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes if such shares belong to (a) the Corporation, (b) another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation or (c) any other entity, if a majority of the voting power of such other entity is held, directly or indirectly by the Corporation or if such other entity is otherwise controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own capital stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 1.6 Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, if any, or in his or her absence by the Chief Executive Officer, if any, or in his or her absence, by a chairperson designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairperson chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act

as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 1.7 Voting; Proxies. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or by or pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of capital stock of the Corporation held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to consent to corporate action without a meeting, if any, may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot. At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors (other than Class Directors and/or Preferred Directors (as each term is defined below)), at which a quorum is present, a majority of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect; provided, however, that at any meeting of stockholders held for the election of directors (other than Class Directors and/or Preferred Directors) at which a quorum is present, and one or more stockholders have (a) nominated one or more individuals to the Board of Directors in compliance with Section 1.13 of these Bylaws, such that the nominees for election to the Board of Directors exceeds the number of open seats, and (b) not withdrawn such Nomination or Nominations on or prior to the tenth (10^th) day preceding the date on which the Corporation first gives notice of such meeting to stockholders, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. When a quorum is present at any meeting of stockholders, all other elections, questions or business presented to the stockholders at such meeting shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast with respect to any such election, question or business presented to the stockholders unless the election, question or business is one which, by express provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities or the laws of the State of Delaware, a vote of a different number or voting by class or series is required, in which case, such express provision shall govern. For purposes of these Bylaws, a “majority of the votes cast” means that the number of votes cast “for” a nominee, question or business exceeds the number of votes cast “against” such nominee, question or business.

the date of the meeting shall be the date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of such meeting shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting; (b) in the case of a determination of stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting (when permitted by or pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation), shall not be more than ten (10) days from the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors; and (c) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such other action. If no record date is fixed: (i) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (ii) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting, if any, when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law, or, if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action; and (iii) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for the stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.8 at the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.9 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The Corporation shall prepare, no later than the tenth (10^th) day before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section 1.9 shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of ten (10) days ending on the day before the meeting date (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network; provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of meeting or (b) during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 1.9 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders. 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.

Section 1.10 Action By Consent in Lieu of Meeting. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that except as otherwise permitted by or pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of

Incorporation, no action that is required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be effected by consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting of stockholders. When, as permitted by or pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders is taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, a consent or consents, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation 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 and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law. When, as permitted by or pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders is taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous consent shall, to the extent required by applicable law, be given to those stockholders who have not consented and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

Section 1.11 Inspectors of Election. The Corporation may, and shall if required by applicable law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election, who may be employees of the Corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the individual presiding over the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall (a) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (b) determine the shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (c) count all votes and ballots, (d) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors and (e) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors’ count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by applicable law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No individual who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting of stockholders. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairperson of the meeting of stockholders, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting of stockholders; (b) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting of stockholders and the safety of those present; (c) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting of stockholders to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairperson of the meeting of stockholders shall determine; (d) restrictions on entry to the meeting of stockholders after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (e) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The Board of Directors or, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting of stockholders, the chairperson of the meeting of stockholders, in each case, shall have the power and duty to determine whether any election, question or business was or was not properly made, proposed or brought before the meeting of stockholders and therefore shall be disregarded and not be considered or transacted at such meeting, and, if the Board of Directors or the chairperson of such meeting, as the case may be, determines that such election, question or business was not properly made, proposed or brought before such meeting and shall be disregarded and not be considered or transacted at such meeting, the chairperson of the meeting shall declare to such meeting that such election, question or business was not properly made, proposed or brought before such meeting and shall be disregarded and not be considered or transacted at such meeting, and any such election, question or business shall not be considered or transacted at such meeting. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairperson of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

Section 1.13 Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. (i) Nominations of one or more individuals for election to the Board of Directors by the stockholders generally entitled to vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude nominations of one or more individuals for election as Class Directors and/or Preferred Directors) (each, a “Nomination,” and more than one, “Nominations”) and the proposal of any question or business other than a Nomination or Nominations to be considered by the stockholders generally entitled to vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude any question or business other than a Nomination or Nominations required by or pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the rights of the holders of any class of capital stock of the Corporation then outstanding to be voted on by the holders of such class, voting separately as a single class, or the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation then outstanding to be voted on by the holders of such series, voting separately as a single class) (collectively, “Business”) may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (A) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto); provided, however, that reference in the Corporation’s notice of meeting to the election of directors or the election of members of the Board of Directors shall not include or be deemed to include a Nomination or Nominations, (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (C) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record of the Corporation at the time the notice provided for in this Section 1.13 is delivered to the Secretary, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.13.

(ii) For Nominations or Business to be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders by a stockholder pursuant to Section 1.13(a)(i)(C), the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary and any proposed Business must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90^th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120^th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than seventy (70) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120^th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90^th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10^th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation.

Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each Nomination to be made by such stockholder, (1) all information relating to the individual subject to such Nomination that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, without regard to the application of the Exchange Act to either the Nomination or the Corporation, (2) such individual’s written consent to being named in a proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as director if elected, (3) any direct or indirect compensatory, payment, indemnification or other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding that such individual has, or has had within the past three years, with any person or persons other than the Corporation (including, without limitation, the amount of any payment or payments received or receivable thereunder), in each case in connection with such individual’s nomination or service as a director of the Corporation (such agreement, arrangement or understanding, a “Third-Party Compensation Arrangement”), and (4) a description of any other material relationships between such individual and such individual’s respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert with them, on the one hand, and such stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the Nomination is made, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert with them, on the other hand, including, without limitation, all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 under Regulation S-K if such stockholder, beneficial owner, affiliate or associate were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and such person were a director or executive officer of such registrant; (B) as to the Business proposed by such stockholder, a brief description of the Business, the text of the proposed Business (including the text of any resolution or resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such Business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the text of the proposed amendment), the reason or reasons for conducting such Business at the meeting and any material interest or interests of stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the Nomination, Nominations or Business is made (1) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, if any, and of their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert with them, (2) the class, series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, if any,

or any of its officers, directors or affiliates, on the other hand, (14) a representation as to whether such stockholder or such beneficial owner, if any, intends to or is part of a group which intends (x) to deliver by proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock required to approve or adopt the Business or elect the nominee or nominees subject to the Nomination or Nominations and/or (y) to otherwise solicit proxies from stockholders of the Corporation in support of such Nomination, Nominations or Business, (15) any other information relating to such stockholder, such beneficial owner or their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert with them, or Nomination, Nominations or Business, that, in each case would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies in support of such Nomination or Nomination (in a contested election of directors) or Business pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and (16) such other information relating to any Business as the Corporation may reasonably require to determine whether such Business is a proper matter for stockholder action; provided, however, that if the Business is otherwise subject to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 14a-8”), the foregoing notice requirements shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his, her or its intention to present such Business at an annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation in compliance with Rule 14a-8, and such Business has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting of stockholders.

(iii) In addition to the requirements of Section 1.13(a)(ii), to be timely, a stockholder’s notice (and any additional information submitted to the Corporation in connection therewith) must further be updated and supplemented (A) if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice is true and correct as of the record date(s) for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the annual meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the annual meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling, postponement or other delay thereof and (B) to provide any additional information that the Corporation may reasonably request. Any such update and supplement or additional information (including, if requested pursuant to Section 1.13(a)(ii)(C)(16)) must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (A) in the case of a request for additional information, promptly following a request therefor, which response must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than such reasonable time as is specified in any such request from the Corporation; or (B) in the case of any other update or supplement of any information, not later than five (5) business days after the record date(s) for the meeting (in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of the record date(s)), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling, postponement or other delay thereof (in the case of any update or supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling, postponement or other delay thereof). In addition, no later than five (5) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling, postponement or other delay thereof, a stockholder giving notice of a Nomination shall provide the Corporation with reasonable evidence that such stockholder has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19. The failure to timely provide any update, supplement, evidence or additional information required by this Section 1.13(a)(iii) shall result in the Nomination, Nominations or Business no longer being eligible for consideration at the meeting. If the stockholder fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 (including because the stockholder fails to provide the Corporation with all information

required by Rule 14a-19), then the Nomination or Nominations proposed by such stockholder shall be ineligible for election at the meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement, or provide additional information or evidence, as set forth in this Section 1.13(a)(iii) shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines pursuant this Section 1.13 or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice pursuant to this Section 1.13 to amend or update any Nomination or to submit any new Nomination. No disclosure pursuant to this Section 1.13 shall be required with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is the stockholder submitting a notice pursuant to this Section 1.13 solely because such broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee has been directed to prepare and submit the notice required by this Section 1.13 shall on behalf of a beneficial owner.

In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors by the stockholders generally entitled to vote (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude the Class Directors and/or the Preferred Directors), any such stockholder entitled to vote in such election may make Nominations of one or more individuals (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting pursuant to Section 1.13(b)(iii), if the stockholder’s notice required by Section 1.13(a)(ii) shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120^th) day

prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90^th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10^th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of such special meeting and of the nominee(s) proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such special meeting.

the Corporation to solicit proxies for the meeting of stockholders.

Any annual meeting of stockholders may be postponed by action of the Board of Directors at any time in advance of such meeting. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting of stockholders.

Section 1.2 Special Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by or pursuant to the provisions of the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation (as the same may be amended or amended and restated, the “Certificate of Incorporation”), special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time, but only by either (a) the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, (b) the Chief Executive Officer, (c) the President or (d) the Board of Directors (pursuant to a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors). Except as provided in this Section 1.2, special meetings of stockholders may not be called by any other person or persons. Any special meeting of stockholders may be postponed by action of the Board of Directors or by the person calling such meeting (if other than the Board of Directors) at any time in advance of such meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

Section 1.3 Notice of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a notice of the meeting shall be given that shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Amended and Restated Bylaws (as the same may be amended, these “Bylaws”), the notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting.

If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 1.8 of these Bylaws, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. When a quorum is present at any meeting of stockholders, all other elections, questions or business presented to the stockholders at such meeting shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast with respect to any such election, question or business presented to the stockholders unless the election, question or business is one which, by express provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities or the laws of the State of Delaware, a vote of a different number or voting by class or series is required, in which case, such express provision shall govern. For purposes of these Bylaws, a “majority of the votes cast” means that the number of votes cast “for” a nominee, question or business exceeds the number of votes cast “against” such nominee, question or business.

Section 1.8 Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to consent to corporate action without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date: (a) in the case of a determination of stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by applicable law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting and, unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of such meeting shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting; (b) in the case of a determination of stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting, shall not be more than ten (10) days from the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors; and (c) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such other action. If no record date is fixed: (i) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (ii) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action without a meeting, when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law, or, if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action; and (iii) the record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.8 at the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.10 Action By Consent in Lieu of Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by or pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, any action that is required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be effected by consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting of stockholders.

When any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders is taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous consent shall, to the extent required by applicable law, be given to those stockholders who have not consented and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No individual who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

Section 1.12 Conduct of Meetings. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each election, question or business upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be announced at the meeting by the chairperson of such meeting. The Board of Directors may adopt (by resolution or resolutions) such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and to adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such individual, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting of stockholders.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Chavant Capital Acquisition Corp.

445 Park Avenue, 9th Floor
New York, NY 10022

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the proposed business combination (the “Transaction”) between Chavant Capital Acquisition Corp., an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (together with any successor thereto, including after the Domestication (as defined below), the “Company”), and Mobix Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mobix”), ACE SO4 Holdings Limited, the undersigned subscriber (the “Subscriber”) desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Company, and the Company desires to sell and issue to the Subscriber, that number of shares of Class A common stock of the Company (after giving effect to the Domestication), par value $0.00001 per share (referred to herein as the “Common Shares”), set forth on the signature page hereof for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Price” and the aggregate of such Per Share Price for all Shares subscribed for by the Subscriber being referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”), on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein. In connection with the Transaction, certain other “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) may enter into separate subscription agreements with the Company with terms no more favorable than the terms of this Subscription Agreement (the “Other Subscription Agreements”), pursuant to which such investors (the “Other Subscribers”), together with the Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, would severally and not jointly, agree to purchase on the closing date of the Transaction (the “Transaction Closing Date”) additional Common Shares at the Per Share Price (the Subscriber, together with any Other Subscribers, are referred to herein collectively as the “Subscribers”). In connection therewith, the Subscriber and the Company agree as follows:

1. Subscription; Additional Shares.

a. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company at the Subscription Closing (as defined herein), and the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Subscriber, such number of Common Shares as is set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement (the “Shares”).

b. In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP (as defined herein) is less than $10.00 per Share (as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split or similar adjustment following the closing of the Transaction), Subscriber (or its permitted assigns) shall be entitled to receive from the Company a number of additional newly issued Common Shares equal to the product of (x) the number of Common Shares issued to Subscriber (or its permitted assigns) on the Transaction Closing Date that Subscriber (or its permitted assigns) holds on the Measurement Date (as defined herein), multiplied by (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which is $10.00 (as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split or similar adjustment following the closing of the Transaction) minus the Adjustment Period VWAP, and (B) the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP (such additional shares, the “Additional Shares”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no fraction of a Common Share will be issued pursuant to this Section 1(b), and if Subscriber (or its permitted assigns) would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Common Share, the number of Additional Shares to be issued

to Subscriber (or its permitted assigns) will instead be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share, without payment in lieu of such fractional Common Share. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Domestication, the Additional Shares, if any, issued pursuant to this Section 1(b) shall be shares of common stock in a Delaware corporation (and not shares in a Cayman Islands exempted company).

c. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement: (i) the “Adjustment Period VWAP” means the higher of (x) the average of the VWAP of a Common Share, determined for each of the Trading Days during the Adjustment Period (as defined herein), and (y) $7.00 (as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split or similar adjustment following the closing of the Transaction); (ii) the “Adjustment Period” means the thirty (30) calendar day period beginning on and including the date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the Resale Shelf Effectiveness Date; (iii) “business day” means a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York or governmental authorities in the Cayman Islands (for so long as Company remains domiciled in Cayman Islands) are authorized or required by law to close; (iv) the “Measurement Date” means the last day of the Adjustment Period; (v) “Stock Exchange” means the securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Common Shares are then listed; (vi) “Trading Day” means any day on which (A) there is no VWAP Market Disruption Event and (B) trading in the Common Shares generally occurs on the Stock Exchange; provided that, if the Common Shares are not so listed or traded on a Stock Exchange, then “Trading Day” means a business day; (vii) “VWAP Market Disruption Event” means, with respect to any date, (A) the failure by the Stock Exchange to open for trading during its regular trading session on such date or (B) the occurrence or existence, for more than a one half-hour period in the aggregate, of any suspension or limitation imposed on trading (by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the relevant exchange or otherwise) in the Common Shares or in any options contracts or futures contracts relating to the Common Shares, and such suspension or limitation occurs or exists at any time before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date; (viii) “VWAP” means, for any Trading Day, the per share volume weighted average price of the Common Shares as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on the applicable Bloomberg page (or, if such page is not available, its equivalent successor page) in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading until the scheduled close of trading of the primary trading session on such Trading Day (or, if such volume weighted average price is unavailable, the market value of one Common Share on such Trading Day, determined, using a volume weighted average price method, by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm selected by the Company); and (ix) “Resale Shelf Effectiveness Date” means the date on which the Initial Registration Statement (as defined herein) is declared effective by the Commission (as defined below). The VWAP will be determined without regard to after-hours trading or any other trading outside of the regular trading session.

2. Closing; Additional Closing.

a. The consummation of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Subscription Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction (the “Transaction Closing”). The Subscription Closing shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to, the Transaction Closing, but after the Company’s de-registration as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and domestication into the State of Delaware pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) and the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “Domestication”). Not less than five business days prior to the scheduled Transaction Closing Date, the Company shall provide written notice to the Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) (i) setting forth the scheduled Transaction Closing Date, (ii) stating that the Company reasonably

expects all conditions to the Transaction Closing to be satisfied or waived, and (iii) including wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price to the Escrow Agent (as defined below). Following delivery of the Closing Notice, and upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 2 and Section 3 below, the Subscriber shall deliver to a third-party escrow agent to be identified in the Closing Notice (the “Escrow Agent”), at least two business days prior to the Transaction Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Purchase Price, which shall be held in a segregated escrow account for the benefit of the Subscriber (the “Escrow Account”) until the Subscription Closing pursuant to the terms of a customary escrow agreement, to be entered into by the Company and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”), by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice. On the Transaction Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Subscriber (i) the Shares in book-entry form, or, if required by the Subscriber, certificated form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws as set forth herein), in the name of the Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by the Subscriber, as applicable, and (ii) a copy of the records of the Company’s transfer agent showing the Subscriber (or such nominee or custodian) as the owner of the Shares on and as of the Transaction Closing Date. Upon delivery of the Shares to the Subscriber (or its nominee or custodian, if applicable), the Purchase Price shall be released from the Escrow Account automatically and without further action by the Company or the Subscriber.

Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 2, if the Subscriber informs the Company (1) that it is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), (2) that it is advised by an investment adviser subject to regulation under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Advisers Act”), or (3) that its internal compliance policies and procedures so require it, then, in lieu of the settlement procedures provided above, the following shall apply: the Subscriber shall deliver as soon as practicable prior to the Transaction Closing on the Transaction Closing Date, following receipt of evidence from the Company’s transfer agent of the issuance to the Subscriber of the Shares, on and as of the Transaction Closing Date, the Purchase Price for the Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to an account of the Company as specified by the Company in the Closing Notice against delivery by the Company to the Subscriber of the Shares in book entry form, or if required by the Subscriber, certificated form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws as set forth herein), in the name of the Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) and evidence from the Company’s transfer agent of the issuance to the Subscriber of the Shares on and as of the Transaction Closing Date.

If the Transaction Closing does not occur within two business days following the Subscription Closing, the Company shall promptly (but not later than two business days thereafter) cause the Purchase Price to be returned to the Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Subscriber, and any book-entries or certificates representing the Shares shall be deemed repurchased and cancelled (and, in the case of certificated shares, the Subscriber shall promptly return such certificates to the Company or, as directed by the Company, to the Company’s representative or agent); provided that, unless this Subscription Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 8 hereof, such return of funds shall not terminate this Subscription Agreement, and the Subscriber shall remain obliged to (i) redeliver funds to the Escrow Agent or the Company, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 2 following the Company’s delivery to the Subscriber of a new Closing Notice not less than two business days prior

to the new scheduled Transaction Closing Date and (ii) consummate the Subscription Closing immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the Transaction Closing.

If this Subscription Agreement terminates in accordance with Section 8 hereof following the delivery by the Subscriber of the Purchase Price for the Shares, the Company shall promptly (but not later than two business days after such termination) cause the Purchase Price to be returned to the Subscriber by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Subscriber.

b. If applicable, the issuance of the Additional Shares contemplated hereby (the “Additional Closing” and together with the Subscription Closing, each, a “Closing”) shall occur on the fifth (5th) business day following the Measurement Date (the “Additional Closing Date” and together with the date of the Subscription Closing, each, a “Closing Date”). On the Additional Closing Date, the Company shall, upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 3, issue the Additional Shares to Subscriber and shall deliver (i) the Additional Shares in book entry form or, if required by the Subscriber, certificated form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions whatsoever (other than those arising under state or federal securities laws as set forth herein), in the name of the Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions) or to a custodian designated by the Subscriber, as applicable, and (ii) a copy of the records of the Company’s transfer agent showing the Subscriber (or such nominee or custodian) as the owner of the Common Shares on and as of the Additional Closing Date.

d. The Shares are not, and following the Transaction Closing and each Closing Date will not be, subject to any Transfer Restriction. The term “Transfer Restriction” means any condition to or restriction on the ability of the Subscriber to pledge, sell, assign or otherwise transfer the Shares under any organizational document, policy or agreement of, by or with the Company, but excluding the restrictions on transfer described in paragraph 6(c) of this Subscription Agreement with respect to the status of the Shares as “restricted securities” pending their registration for resale or transfer under the Securities Act in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement.

This Subscription Agreement and the Transaction Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by the Subscriber, are the legally binding obligations of the Company and are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, winding up, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

f. The execution, delivery and performance of the Subscription Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Shares and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company or its subsidiary pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, guarantee, note, bond, permit, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or its subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or its subsidiary is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, which would, in any case, reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiary, taken as a whole, and including the combined company after giving effect to the Transaction, or prevent, materially impair, materially delay or materially impede the ability of the Company to enter into and timely perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement or the Transaction Agreement, or materially affect the validity of the Shares or the legal authority or ability of the Company to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency, taxing authority or regulatory body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

g. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subscriber set forth in Section 6 of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares), other than (i) filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), (ii) filings required by applicable state securities

laws, (iii) filings required by Nasdaq, including with respect to obtaining shareholder approval, (iv) filings required to consummate the Transaction as provided under the definitive documents relating to the Transaction, (v) the filing of a notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, if applicable, and (vi) where the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Shares.

h. The Company is in compliance with all applicable law, except where such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not received any written communication from a governmental entity that alleges that the Company is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

i. As of the date hereof, the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “CLAY” (it being understood that the trading symbol will be changed in connection with the Transaction Closing). There is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company by Nasdaq or the Commission, respectively, to prohibit or terminate the listing of the ordinary shares or, after giving effect to the Domestication, the Common Shares on Nasdaq, suspend trading of such shares on Nasdaq or to deregister such shares under the Exchange Act. The Company has taken no action that is designed to terminate or expected to result in the termination of the registration of such shares under the Exchange Act. At each Closing Date and upon consummation of the Transaction, the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company, including the Shares, will be registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and the Shares shall have been approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance.

j. Assuming the accuracy of the Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 of this Subscription Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares by the Company to the Subscriber or to any Other Subscriber pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements.

None of the SEC Documents contained, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that with respect to the information about the Company’s affiliates contained in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 and related proxy statement (or other SEC document) to be filed

by the Company in connection with the Transaction, the representation and warranty in this sentence is made to the Company’s knowledge. The Company has timely filed (giving effect to permissible extensions in accordance with Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) each report, statement, schedule, prospectus, and registration statement that the Company was required to file with the Commission since its initial registration of the ordinary shares under the Exchange Act. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments. As of the date hereof and upon the Transaction Closing Date, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the Staff with respect to any of the SEC Documents.

l. Except for such matters as have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, there is no (i) action, suit, claim or other proceeding, in each case by or before any governmental authority pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against the Company.

m. Other than the Other Subscription Agreements that the Company may enter into prior to the Subscription Closing, the Company has not entered into and will not enter into any agreement or side letter with any Other Subscriber in connection with such Other Subscriber’s direct or indirect investment in the Company in connection with the Subscription Closing, and such Other Subscription Agreements will not be amended in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement and will reflect the same Per Share Purchase Price and terms that are not more favorable to such Other Subscriber thereunder than the terms of this Subscription Agreement. The Other Subscription Agreements will not, without the prior written consent of the Subscriber, be amended in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement.

n. Neither the Company, nor any person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any Company security under circumstances that would adversely affect reliance by the Company on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for the exemption from registration of the offer and sale of the Shares or would require registration of the issuance of the Shares under the Securities Act.

o. Neither the Company, nor any person acting on its behalf has entered into any agreement or arrangement entitling any agent, broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other person to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission or similar fee in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement for which the Subscriber could become liable. No person has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of any Shares.

p. The Company is not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares will not be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

q. The Company is not in default or violation (and no event has occurred which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or violation) of any term, condition or provision of (i) the Company’s organizational documents, (ii) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage,

indenture, lease or other agreement, permit, franchise or license to which the Company is now a party or by which the Company’s properties or assets are bound or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for defaults or violations that have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

r. None of the Company or any of its directors and officers is (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any sanctions-related Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (collectively, the “OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, or (ii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank.

Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber had access to, and an adequate opportunity to review, financial and other information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares.

k. The Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

l. The Subscriber is validly existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, with power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

m. The execution, delivery and performance by the Subscriber of this Subscription Agreement are within the powers of the Subscriber, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which the Subscriber is a party or by which the Subscriber is bound, and will not violate any provisions of the Subscriber’s charter documents, including, without limitation, its incorporation or formation papers, bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. The signature on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, and the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by the Company, this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

n. Neither the due diligence investigation conducted by the Subscriber in connection with making its decision to acquire the Shares (and any Additional Shares) nor any representations and warranties

made by the Subscriber herein shall modify, amend or affect the Subscriber’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein.

The Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law; provided that the Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law.

Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act.

7. Registration Rights.

a. The Company agrees that, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the Transaction Closing (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale or transfer of the Shares (the “Initial Registration Statement”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of, (i) if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Initial Registration Statement, the ninetieth calendar day following the earlier of (A) the Filing Deadline and (B) the initial filing date of the Initial Registration Statement, and (ii) the tenth business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Initial Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. If not included in the Initial Registration Statement, in the event that any Additional Shares issued to Subscriber pursuant to the terms of this Subscription Agreement are not permitted by the Commission to be registered on the Initial Registration Statement, the Company agrees that, within thirty (30) business days following the Additional Closing Date (the “Additional Filing Deadline” and, together with the initial Filing Deadline, each, a “Filing Deadline”), the Company will submit to or file with the Commission a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form S-1 or Form S-3 (if the Company is then eligible to use a Form S-3 shelf registration) (an “Additional Registration Statement” and, together with the Initial Registration Statement, each, a “Registration Statement”), in each case, covering the resale of the Additional Shares acquired by the Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement which are eligible for registration (determined as of two business days prior to such submission or filing). The Company’s obligations to include the Shares or Additional Shares, as applicable, in a Registration Statement are contingent upon the Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by the Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Shares or Additional Shares, as applicable as shall be reasonably requested in writing by the Company to effect the registration of the Shares or the Additional Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations; provided, however, that the Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares or Additional Shares, as applicable. With respect to the information to be provided by the Subscriber pursuant to this Section 7, the Company shall request such information prior to the anticipated initial filing date of a Registration Statement. The Company will provide a draft of a Registration Statement to the Subscriber for review at least two (2) business days in advance of its anticipated initial filing date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including in a Registration Statement any or all of the Shares or Additional Shares due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale or transfer of the Shares by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, the Registration Statement shall register for resale or transfer such number of Common Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders, and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall file a new Registration Statement to register such Shares not included in a filed Registration Statement and cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable consistent with the terms of this Section 7. If the Commission requests that the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from

the Registration Statement. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, until the earliest of (i) the date on which all such Shares, and any Additional Shares, issued to Subscriber have actually been sold, (ii) the date which is three years after the relevant Registration Statement filed hereunder is declared effective and (iii) the date on which the Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) may be resold without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file any Registration Statement by a Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by date of effectiveness shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or cause the effectiveness of any Registration Statement set forth in this Section 7. For purposes of this Section 7, “Shares” or “Additional Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Common Shares acquired by the Subscriber pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to such Shares by way of stock split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, and “Subscriber” shall include any affiliate of the Subscriber to which the rights under this Section 7 have been duly assigned.

b. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the Subscriber not to sell under any Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of any Registration Statement at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure (as defined below) or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control (each, a “Suspension Event”). In such case, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Subscriber, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than two occasions or for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, or more than one hundred and fifty (150) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. Upon receipt of any such written notice from the Company or upon written notice from the Company that any Registration Statement or related prospectus contains a Misstatement (as defined below), the Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Common Shares under such Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until (A) the Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice) that corrects the Misstatement referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or (B) is otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 7(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended Common Shares to a transferee of the Subscriber in connection with any sale of Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) with respect to which the Subscriber has entered into a contract for sale prior to Subscriber’s receipt of the notice of a Suspension Event and which has not yet settled. If so directed by the Company, the Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in the Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) in the Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the

Shares (and any Additional Shares) shall not apply (i) to the extent the Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. “Adverse Disclosure” shall mean any public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure, in the good faith judgment of the Chief Executive Officer or principal financial officer of the Company or the Company’s board of directors, after consultation with counsel to the Company, (x) would be required to be made in any Registration Statement or the related prospectus in order for such Registration Statement or prospectus not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (y) would not be required to be made at such time if any Registration Statement were not being filed, declared effective or used, as the case may be, and (z) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not making such information public. “Misstatement” shall mean an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made in any Registration Statement or the related prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

c. In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall inform the Subscriber as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Company shall:

	(i)	Advise the Subscriber as promptly as reasonably practicable:

	A.	when any Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

	B.	of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

	C.	of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

	D.	of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

	E.	subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Company shall not, when so advising the Subscriber of such events, provide the Subscriber with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to the Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (A) through (E) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Company and Subscriber is notified that such events are material, nonpublic information at the time of notification;

(ii)

use reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

	(iii)	upon the occurrence of any Suspension Event, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of any Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

	(iv)	use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Shares (and any Additional Shares) to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Common Shares issued by the Company have been listed.

d. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file in a timely manner (giving effect to permissible extensions in accordance with Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) all reports and other documents under the Exchange Act necessary to enable the Subscriber to resell the Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable), pursuant to the Registration Statement. For as long as the Subscriber holds Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file in a timely manner (giving effect to permissible extensions in accordance with Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) all reports and other documents under the Exchange Act necessary to enable the Subscriber to resell the Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) pursuant to Rule 144. The Company shall, at its sole expense, upon appropriate notice from the Subscriber stating that Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) have been sold or transferred pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or Rule 144, timely prepare and deliver certificates or evidence of book-entry positions representing the Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to such Registration Statement, which certificates or book-entry positions shall be free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the Subscriber may request. Further, the Company, at its sole expense, and subject to applicable law, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its legal counsel to (a) issue to the transfer agent and maintain a “blanket” legal opinion instructing the transfer agent that, in connection with a sale or transfer of “restricted securities” (i.e., securities issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act), the resale or transfer of which restricted securities has been registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement by the holder thereof named in such Registration Statement, upon receipt of an appropriate broker representation letter acceptable to the Company and its counsel and other such documentation as the Company or the Company’s counsel deems necessary and appropriate and after confirming compliance with

relevant prospectus delivery requirements, is authorized to remove any applicable restrictive legend in connection with such sale or transfer and (b) if the Shares (and any Additional Shares) are not registered pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, issue to the transfer agent a legal opinion to facilitate the sale or transfer of such Common Shares and removal of any restrictive legends pursuant to any exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act that may be available to a requesting Subscriber; provided that in the case of a request to remove such restrictive legends in connection with a sale or transfer of Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove any such applicable restrictive legends in connection with such sale or transfer within five business days of such request. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees (including, without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered by the Subscriber), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) to the Subscriber other than income and capital gains taxes of the Subscriber that may be incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

e. The Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that the Subscriber not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Section 7; provided, however, that the Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from the Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to the Subscriber and the Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to the Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, the Subscriber will notify the Company in writing at least five business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 7(e)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify the Subscriber, within two business days of the Subscriber’s notification to the Company, by delivering to the Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide the Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

f. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Subscriber (if the Subscriber is named as a selling shareholder under any Registration Statement), its officers, directors, employees, investment advisers and agents, each person who controls the Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in any Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 7, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by the Subscriber expressly for use therein or the Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such

information; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable for any Losses to the extent they arise out of or are based upon a violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by a Subscriber, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus made available by the Company in a timely manner, to the extent such person was required to deliver or caused to be delivered such prospectus under applicable law, (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) that was not authorized in writing by the Company, or (D) in connection with any offers, sales or transfers effected by or on behalf of a Subscriber in violation of Section 7(d) hereof. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) by the Subscriber.

g. The Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in any Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding the Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by the Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of any Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) by the Subscriber.

h. Any person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

i. If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 7(i) shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of the Subscriber hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares (and any Additional Shares) giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

8. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) following the execution of a definitive agreement among the Company, Merger Sub and Mobix with respect to the Transaction (together with the exhibits and schedules thereto and ancillary agreements specifically referenced therein, the “Transaction Agreement”), such date and time as such Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms without the Transaction being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if any of the conditions to the Subscription Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived upon or prior to the Subscription Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Subscription Closing, or (d) at the election of the Subscriber, if the Transaction Closing shall not have occurred by the Outside Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement); provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Company shall promptly notify the Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement after the termination of such agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if any termination hereof occurs after the delivery by the Subscriber of the Purchase Price for the Shares, the Company shall promptly (but not later than one business day thereafter) return the Purchase Price to the Subscriber without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges or set-off.

9. Trust Account Waiver. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company is a special purpose acquisition company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or assets. The Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in the Company’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated July 19, 2021 and filed with the Commission on July 21,

2021 and available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of the Company’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of the Company, its public shareholders and the underwriters of the Company’s initial public offering, in their capacity as advisors pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, dated July 19, 2021, between the Company, Roth Capital Partners, LLC and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC. For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Subscriber hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account, in each case, as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to limit the Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of the Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of Common Shares of the Company acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

10. No Short Sales. The Subscriber hereby agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until any Additional Closing, that it will not, nor will any person acting at the Subscriber’s direction or pursuant to any understanding with the Subscriber (including the Subscriber’s controlled affiliates), directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell, sell any option in, or engage in hedging activities or execute any “short sales” (as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act) with respect to, any shares or any securities of the Company or any instrument exchangeable for or convertible into any shares or any securities of the Company until the consummation of the Transaction (or such earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the restrictions in this Section 10 shall not apply to (i) any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of the Company (A) held by the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement or (B) purchased by the Subscriber, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates in open market transactions after the execution of this Subscription Agreement, or (ii) ordinary course hedging transactions so long as the sales or borrowings relating to such hedging transactions are not settled with the Shares and any Additional Shares subscribed for hereunder and the number of securities sold in such transactions does not exceed the number of securities owned or subscribed for at the time of such transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit any entities under common management with the Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of the Subscriber’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Subscriber’s affiliates) from entering into any short sales; (ii) in the case that the Subscriber is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Subscriber’s assets, this Section 10 shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares (and Additional Shares, as applicable) covered by this Subscription Agreement.

11. Miscellaneous.

a. The Company shall, no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day immediately following the date of this Subscription Agreement, issue one or more press releases or file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”)

b. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Subscriber hereunder (other than the Shares or Additional Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, except that this Subscription Agreement and any of the Subscriber’s rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned to any limited partner or other investor in the Subscriber or any fund or other account managed by the same investment manager as the Subscriber or by an affiliate (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) of such investment manager without the prior consent of the Company; provided that the Subscriber gives prior written notice to the Company, and such assignee or transferee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement, makes the representations and warranties in Section 6 hereof and completes Schedule A hereto.

d. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company may rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement.

f. All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party to this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Subscription Closing.

g. This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 hereof) except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought; provided that any rights (but not obligations) of a party under this Subscription Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, by such party on its own behalf without the prior consent of any other party. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

h.

The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.
