The Sponsor agrees that the Sponsor shall not request that Acquiror register any transfer of any certificate or book-entry share or other uncertificated interest representing any Subject Securities made in violation of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement and hereby authorizes and instructs Acquiror to instruct its transfer agent to enter a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Subject Securities, Lock-Up Shares and Specified Sponsor Warrants, subject to the provisions hereof; provided, that any such stop transfer order will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by Acquiror upon the applicable time and date that the related restrictions on transfer provided in this Agreement terminate.
11
(h) Inconsistent Agreements. The Sponsor hereby covenants and agrees that the Sponsor shall not enter into any agreement or undertaking that is otherwise inconsistent with, or would interfere with, or prohibit or prevent it from satisfying, its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
11. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate, and no party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder and this Agreement shall have no further effect, upon the earlier of (i) the date and time the Merger Agreement is terminated validly in accordance with its terms prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the time this Agreement is terminated upon the mutual written agreement of the Company, Acquiror and the Sponsor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Section 5 shall terminate only upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated validly in accordance with its terms, (b) such time as all of the Lock-Up Shares shall have become Released Lock-Up Shares (or shall have been forfeited and cancelled, and all right, title and interest have been transferred therein to Acquiror, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (c) such time as this Agreement is terminated by mutual written agreement of the Company, Acquiror and the Sponsor. No such termination, however, shall relieve any party hereto of any liability or damages to the other party hereto resulting from any Willful Breach of, or Fraud in connection with, this Agreement prior to its termination.
12. Capacity. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but without limitation of any obligations under the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as a record holder or beneficial owner of shares of Subject Securities and not in its (or any Affiliates) capacity as an officer or director of Acquiror or its subsidiaries, if applicable. Notwithstanding any asserted conflict, nothing herein will limit or affect the Sponsors ability to act as an officer or director of Acquiror or its subsidiaries.
13. Miscellaneous.
(a) Conflicting Agreements. In the event and to the extent that there shall be a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Sponsor Agreement, this Agreement shall control with respect to the subject matter thereof; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that this Agreement shall not limit any restrictions on the Transfer or any similar restrictions or other limitations set forth in such other Sponsor Agreement.
(b) Further Assurances. From time to time and without additional consideration, the Sponsor shall use reasonable best efforts execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional transfers, assignments, endorsements, Consents and other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as Acquiror and the Company may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out and furthering the intent of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

(d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.
(e) Entire Agreement. Without limiting the Merger Agreement, the Sponsor Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement (i) this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties or any of their respective Affiliates relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) no representations, warranties, covenants, understanding, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the transactions contemplated hereby exist between the parties except as expressly set forth or referenced in this Agreement.
(f) Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.
(g) Assignment; Binding Effect; No Third-Party Rights. No party shall assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other parties. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 13(g) shall be null and void, ab initio. The Sponsor hereby agrees that this Agreement is being entered into in order to induce the Company to execute and deliver the Merger Agreement and without the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Sponsor hereunder, the Company would not enter into the Merger Agreement. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended to or shall be construed to confer upon or give any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
(h) Other Remedies; Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, none of the parties hereto would have entered into this Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 13(h) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.
14
(i) Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.
(j) Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(i) Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court lacks jurisdiction, the state or federal courts in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law, or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this Section 13(j).
(ii) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(k) Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered electronically or by facsimile shall be deemed to be original signatures.
(l) Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
(m) Mutual Drafting. Each party hereto has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision.
15
(n) No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by a party hereto, and no abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.
(o) Interpretation. The words include, includes, and including will be deemed to be followed by without limitation. Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words this Agreement, herein, hereof, hereby, hereunder, and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant. References to any person include the successors and permitted assigns of that person. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
