Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement
On
October 25, 2026, Amanat Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“AMAN”), Cairo Merger
Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMAN (“Merger Sub”), Corxel
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Corxel”), and Corxel Pharmaceuticals Limited, a Cayman
Islands exempted company and the sole stockholder of Corxel (“Parent”), entered into a Business
Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business
Combination Agreement”). The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the
“Business Combination”) were unanimously approved by Corxel’s board of directors and approved by
AMAN’s board of directors. The Business Combination is expected to close in the first half of
2027, following the receipt of the requisite approvals of AMAN’s shareholders and Corxel’s sole stockholder and the
fulfillment of other customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under
the HSR Act (as defined below).
Business
Combination Agreement
The
Domestication
The
Business Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that at least one business day prior to the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing” and the date upon which the Closing
actually occurs, the “Closing Date”), AMAN will de-register from the Register of Companies in the Cayman
Islands and transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in
accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and Part
12 of the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Domestication”). In connection with the
Domestication, (i) each outstanding Class A ordinary share of AMAN (each, an “AMAN Class A Share”), each
outstanding Class B ordinary share of AMAN and each outstanding preference share of AMAN that is issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Domestication will be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of AMAN (the
“New Corxel Common Stock”), (ii) AMAN will file the New Corxel COI (as defined below) with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware and adopt the New Corxel Bylaws (each, as defined and described below) and (iii) AMAN’s name
will be changed to a mutually agreed upon name between AMAN, on the one hand, and Corxel and Parent, on the other hand (the
resulting post-Closing entity, “New Corxel”).
AMAN
Shareholder Redemptions
AMAN
will provide the holders of AMAN Class A Shares the right to have all or a portion of their AMAN Class A Shares redeemed for cash in
connection with the Business Combination, in accordance with AMAN’s governing documents, for a per-share price equal to the pro
rata portion of the funds then in AMAN’s trust account (including interest not previously released to pay taxes). Any such redemptions
will occur immediately prior to the consummation of the Domestication.
The
Merger
Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Corxel,
with Corxel as the surviving company (the “Surviving Company”) in the merger (the “First Merger”).
Immediately following the First Merger, on the Closing Date and as part of the same overall transaction, the Surviving Company will merge
with and into a separate wholly-owned subsidiary of AMAN (“Merger Sub II”), with Merger Sub II surviving such
second merger (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Merger”)
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMAN. At the time the First Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”),
each share of Corxel common stock (collectively, “Corxel Shares”) issued and outstanding as of immediately
prior to the Effective Time will be automatically canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive a number of shares
of New Corxel Common Stock equal to an exchange ratio, which is based on an implied Corxel equity value of $200,000,000 (the “Exchange
Ratio”), provided that, at Parent’s election, all or a portion of such shares of New Corxel Common Stock may instead
be issued in the form of pre-funded warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of New Corxel Common Stock.
1
Each
option to purchase Parent Common Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Parent
Option”) will be treated as follows: (i) certain Parent Options identified in the Business Combination Agreement (each,
an “Applicable Parent Option”), whether vested or unvested, will cease to represent the right to purchase Parent Common
Shares and will be canceled in exchange for an option to purchase New Corxel Common Stock (each, a “Rollover Option”)
under the equity incentive plan to be adopted by AMAN in advance of the Closing (the “New Corxel Equity Incentive Plan”),
in an amount equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of Parent Common Shares subject to such Applicable
Parent Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the option exchange ratio set forth on the allocation schedule
(the “Option Exchange Ratio”), at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal
to the quotient of (A) the exercise price per share of such Applicable Parent Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided
by (B) the Option Exchange Ratio, with each Rollover Option generally remaining subject to the same terms and conditions (including applicable
vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) that applied to the corresponding Applicable Parent Option immediately prior to the Effective
Time; and (ii) each Parent Option that is not an Applicable Parent Option (each, an “Unassumed Parent Option”)
will not be assumed and instead will represent the right to receive a number of shares of New Corxel Common Stock (or,
if applicable, the cash equivalent thereof) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of Parent Common
Shares subject to such Unassumed Parent Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio,
reflecting the net value of such option after giving effect to its exercise price, without any further payment of an exercise price by
the holder. Additionally, at the Effective Time, each EIP Share (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) will be canceled in
exchange for the right to receive a number of shares of New Corxel Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio.
After
the Closing, Parent intends to distribute or dividend to its shareholders (whether pro rata or pursuant to one or more exchange or redemption
arrangements with one or more of its shareholders) all or any portion of the New Corxel Common Stock, pre-funded warrants and other consideration
received by Parent pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (or the proceeds thereof), including in connection with the cash settlement
of any Unassumed Parent Options.
Representations
and Warranties; Covenants
The
Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto (the “Parties”)
that are customary for transactions of this type, including with respect to the operations of AMAN and Corxel prior to the Closing and
the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the Business Combination containing a prospectus and proxy
statement of AMAN (the “Registration Statement / Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”). The Parties have also undertaken to procure clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements
Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). In addition, the board of directors of AMAN has agreed to adopt the
New Corxel Incentive Plan and the New Corxel Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as defined and described below) prior to the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, as described in the Business Combination Agreement.
Governance
AMAN
has agreed to take all action within its power as may be necessary or appropriate such that, effective immediately after the Closing,
the New Corxel board of directors will initially consist of a number of directors determined by Corxel, divided into three classes designated
Class I, II and III, which directors will include one or more independent designees determined by Corxel following consultation with
AMAN. If, following the final AMAN shareholder redemption, the amount then remaining in the trust account containing the proceeds of
AMAN’s initial public offering (after giving effect to the aggregate amount of all AMAN shareholder redemptions) is greater than
$25,000,000, AMAN will have a director on the New Corxel board of directors, which is intended to be Rakhi Kumar.
Conditions
to Closing
The
obligation of the Parties to consummate the Business Combination is subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited
to, (i) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and any agreement between a party with any governmental
entity not to consummate transactions contemplated by the Business Combination, (ii) no order or law or other legal restraint or prohibition
issued by any governmental entity enjoining, prohibiting or preventing the consummation of the Business Combination (including the Domestication
and the Merger) being in effect, (iii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, (iv) receipt of the written
consent of Parent, as the sole stockholder of Corxel (the “Corxel Stockholder Written Consent”),
and the requisite approval of AMAN’s shareholders, (v) the approval for listing of the New Corxel Common Stock on Nasdaq, (vi)
after giving effect to the Business Combination (including the PIPE Financing (as described below) and any AMAN shareholder redemptions),
AMAN having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended) immediately after the Effective Time; and (vii) approval of the required transaction proposals by AMAN’s
shareholders.
2
The
obligation of AMAN to consummate the Business Combination is also subject to the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions, including,
but not limited to, (i) there having been no Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) since
the date of the Business Combination Agreement that is continuing, and (ii) Corxel having identified and publicly announced a Chief Executive
Officer and a board of directors of New Corxel, in each case to serve effective as of immediately following the Closing. During the pre-Closing period, Corxel may not hire a Chief Executive Officer without first reasonably consulting with AMAN, and Corxel
must consider in good faith any comments provided by AMAN in connection with that consultation.
The
obligation of Corxel to consummate the Business Combination is also subject to the fulfillment of other customary closing
conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) there having been no SPAC Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Business
Combination Agreement) since the date of the Business Combination Agreement that is continuing, (ii) the aggregate cash proceeds
available for release from AMAN’s trust account (after giving effect to all AMAN shareholder redemptions), together with the
proceeds from the PIPE Financing (as described below) and aggregate amount of any additional cash and cash equivalents held at
closing by the Company not to exceed $75,000,000, equaling at least $200,000,000, (iii) the New Corxel board of directors consisting
of the number of directors, and being comprised of the individuals, determined in accordance with the governance provisions
described above, and (iv) the consummation of the Domestication at least one business day prior to the Closing Date.
Termination
The
Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the Closing, including, but
not limited to, (i) by mutual written consent of AMAN and Corxel, (ii) by AMAN if the representations and warranties of Corxel or Parent
are not true and correct or if Corxel or Parent fails to perform any pre-closing covenant or agreement set forth in the Business Combination
Agreement such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties
or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods,
(iii) by Corxel if the representations and warranties of any AMAN Party (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) are not true
and correct or if any AMAN Party fails to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in the Business Combination Agreement such that
certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to
perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iv) by either
AMAN or Corxel if the Business Combination is not consummated by the applicable termination date set forth in the Business Combination
Agreement, subject to certain limited exceptions, (v) by either AMAN or Corxel if any governmental entity has issued a final and non-appealable
order or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining, materially delaying or otherwise prohibiting the Business Combination,
(vi) by either AMAN or Corxel if the AMAN shareholders meeting has been held and concluded and the requisite AMAN shareholder approval
was not obtained, (vii) by AMAN if Corxel has not delivered the Corxel Stockholder Written Consent within
two business days after the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is declared effective, (viii) by Corxel or Parent, prior
to delivery of the Corxel Stockholder Written Consent, concurrently with entering into a permitted
alternative agreement in connection with a superior offer and payment of the related termination fee; and (ix) by AMAN, prior to delivery
of the Corxel Stockholder Written Consent, if the Corxel board of directors has made an adverse
recommendation change.
The
Business Combination Agreement also provides for the payment of certain termination fees in connection with specified terminations. If
the Business Combination Agreement is terminated by Corxel or Parent (prior to delivery of the Corxel
Stockholder Written Consent) concurrently with entering into a permitted alternative agreement in connection with a superior offer,
Corxel will pay AMAN the greater of $10,000,000 and 1% of the aggregate upfront consideration payable in such alternative transaction
(subject to a cap of $50,000,000) (the “Superior Offer Termination Fee”). If the Business Combination Agreement
is terminated by AMAN following an adverse recommendation change by the Corxel board of directors, Corxel will pay AMAN $10,000,000 (the
“Adverse Recommendation Termination Fee”). If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated by either AMAN
or Corxel because a governmental entity has issued a final and non-appealable order or taken any other action permanently enjoining,
restraining, materially delaying or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, Corxel
will reimburse AMAN for its reasonable and documented third-party costs and expenses up to a maximum of $3,000,000 (the “Regulatory
Termination Fee” and, together with the Superior Offer Termination Fee and the Adverse Recommendation Termination Fee,
the “Termination Fees”). Payment of the applicable Termination Fee will, in the circumstances in which such
Termination Fee is owed, constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of AMAN, and in no event will Corxel be required to pay more than one
Termination Fee.
3
Other
than with respect to the Termination Fees set forth above, none of the Parties will have any liability or any further obligation under
the Business Combination Agreement upon the valid termination of the Business Combination Agreement other than customary confidentiality
obligations, except in the case of Willful Breach or Fraud (each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).
The
foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified
in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and any related agreements. The Business Combination
Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective Parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement
or other dates specified therein. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of
allocating contractual risk between the respective Parties and are subject to important qualifications
and limitations agreed to by the Parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. Such assertions are not intended
to establish matters of fact or to provide any other factual information about AMAN, Corxel, or any other Party to the Business Combination
Agreement or any related agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Business
Combination Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the
Parties, are subject to limitations agreed upon by the Parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made by
the Parties) and are subject to standards of materiality applicable to the Parties that may differ from those applicable to investors
and security holders. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Business Combination Agreement and should
not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual
state of facts or condition of any Party to the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of
the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may
or may not be fully reflected in AMAN’s public disclosures.
The
foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Business Combination Agreement
filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Related
Agreements
The
Business Combination Agreement contemplates the execution of various additional agreements and instruments, including, among others,
the following:
Sponsor
Letter Agreement
Concurrently

“Sponsor”) and Corxel entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement (the “Sponsor Letter Agreement”),
pursuant to which the Sponsor, as a holder of Class B ordinary shares has agreed to, among other things, (i) vote in favor of the Business
Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, (ii) waive any adjustment or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect

A
copy of the Sponsor Letter Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference,

4
PIPE
Financing (Private Placement)
Concurrently
with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, on October 25, 2026, AMAN entered into subscription agreements (the
“Subscription Agreements”) with certain qualified institutional buyers, institutional accredited investors,
and other accredited investors, including, among others, certain existing stockholders of Parent (collectively, the “PIPE
Investors”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and AMAN
agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, on the Closing Date, shares of New Corxel Common Stock (the “Subscribed Shares”)
and/or, in lieu thereof, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of New Corxel Common Stock (the “PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants”),
in each case in the amounts set forth in the applicable Subscription Agreement and signature page thereto. The number of Subscribed Shares
is determined based on the applicable purchase price and the Redemption Price (as defined in AMAN's Amended and Restated Memorandum and
Articles of Association), reduced by the number of shares underlying any PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants elected by such PIPE Investor. The
foregoing subscriptions and purchases are for aggregate purchase commitments of $300 million, as adjusted for reduction mechanisms provided
therein (the “PIPE Financing”). Subject to specified conditions, the PIPE Investors may reduce their respective
subscription obligations on a one-for-one basis by acquiring and not redeeming Class A ordinary shares in the open market or in privately
negotiated transactions with third parties prior to the shareholder meeting, with a corresponding reduction in the Purchase Price based
on the Redemption Price (each as defined in the Subscription Agreements).
The
obligations of each party to consummate the PIPE Financing are conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the New Corxel Common Stock
(including the New Corxel Common Stock issuable to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements) having been approved for
listing on Nasdaq; (ii) all conditions precedent to the Closing shall have been satisfied or waived and such closing shall be scheduled
to occur substantially concurrently with or immediately following the PIPE closing; and (iii) the absence of specified adverse judgements,
orders, laws, rules or regulations enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Business Combination.
The
obligations of AMAN to consummate the PIPE Financing are further subject to additional conditions, including, among other things: (i)
material truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of the PIPE Investors, subject to customary bringdown standards; and
(ii) material compliance by the PIPE Investors with their covenants, agreements and conditions under the Subscription Agreements.
The
obligations of the PIPE Investors to consummate the PIPE Financing are further subject to additional conditions, including, among other
things: (i) the Business Combination Agreement shall not have been amended, modified, or waived, in a manner that would reasonably be
expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that a PIPE Investor (in its capacity as such) would reasonably expect
to receive under the Subscription Agreements without the prior written consent of such investor; (ii) the material truth and accuracy
of the representations and warranties of AMAN in the Subscription Agreements, subject to customary bringdown standards; (iii) no subscription
agreement, or other agreements or understandings (including side letters) entered into in connection with the sale of New Corxel Common
Stock under the Subscription Agreements, with any other PIPE Investors shall have been amended, modified, or waived in any manner that
benefits such other PIPE Investor unless all PIPE Investors have been offered substantially the same benefits (other than terms particular
to the legal or regulatory requirements of such other PIPE Investor or its affiliates or related persons); (iv) all specified consents,
waivers or other authorizations and notices, required to be made in connection with the issuance and sale of New Corxel Common Stock
under the Subscription Agreements shall have been obtained or made, except where failure to so obtain would not prevent AMAN from consummating
the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements; (v) material compliance by AMAN with its covenants, agreements and conditions
under the Subscription Agreements; (vi) there has not occurred any Company Material Adverse Effect or SPAC Material Adverse Effect (each
as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) since the date of the Subscription Agreements that is continuing.
The
Subscription Agreements provide that AMAN will grant the Investors certain customary registration rights.
The
foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements and the PIPE Financing is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference
to the full text of the form of Subscription Agreements, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto, and the terms of which are
incorporated herein by reference.
5
Support
Agreement
In
connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, Parent entered into a Support Agreement (the “Support
Agreement”) with AMAN, pursuant to which Parent has agreed, among other things, (a) that it has received the requisite
authorization and approval from the holders of the requisite number of its issued and outstanding equity interests to enter into the
Support Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement and each ancillary agreement to which Corxel is a party and approve the Business
Combination, (b) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within two business days) following the date on which the Registration
Statement / Proxy Statement is declared effective, to duly execute and deliver to Corxel the Company Stockholder Written Consent, (c)
at any meeting of the stockholders of Corxel, however called, and in any action by written resolution of the stockholders of Corxel,
to vote (or cause to be voted) all of its Corxel Shares (i) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement,
the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and (ii) against any Company Acquisition Proposal
(as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) or other matter intended or reasonably expected to prevent the satisfaction of any
closing condition or otherwise impede or delay the consummation of the Business Combination, and (d) appoint AMAN or any individual designated
by AMAN as Parent’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy, for purposes of complying with Parent’s obligations under the Support
Agreement, to vote (or consent with respect to) Parent’s Corxel Shares, or to attend on Parent’s behalf any meeting of the
stockholders of Corxel, in each case solely with respect to the matters described in clauses (b) and (c) above and only if Parent fails
to timely deliver such written consent or vote its Corxel Shares as required. The obligations under the Support Agreement automatically
terminate upon the earliest of (i) the Effective Time; (ii) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with
its terms; and (iii) the mutual written agreement of AMAN and Parent.
The
foregoing description of the Support Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form
of Support Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.3 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Investor
Rights Agreement
At
or prior to the Closing, New Corxel, Sponsor, certain holders of membership interests in Sponsor and Parent will enter into an investor
rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, among other
things, New Corxel will agree that, within 45 calendar days following the Closing Date, New Corxel will file with the SEC (at New Corxel’s
sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of certain shares of New Corxel Common Stock and/or pre-funded
warrants (or New Corxel Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such pre-funded warrants) held by or issuable to the parties thereto (the
“Resale Registration Statement”), and New Corxel will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale
Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. Such holders will be entitled to
customary piggyback registration rights and demand registration rights, including underwritten and block-trade demands.
The
Investor Rights Agreement provides that Parent may distribute or otherwise transfer Registrable Securities (as defined therein) to its
shareholders pursuant to dividends, distributions, exchanges or redemptions and permits subsequent in-kind distributions by such recipients
to their own equityholders or other permitted transferees. Following any such distribution and receipt of the applicable selling securityholder
information, New Corxel will be required to supplement or amend the applicable resale registration statement or, if required, file a
new shelf registration statement to name the recipients as selling securityholders within ten business days. Such distributees will be
required to join the Investor Rights Agreement, and certain demand and other registration rights held by Parent will thereafter be exercisable
on behalf of all distributees by distributees holding a majority of the Registrable Securities so distributed, as determined at the time
of exercise.
The
Investor Rights Agreement amends and restates the registration rights agreement that was entered into by AMAN, the Sponsor and the AMAN
Existing Investors (as defined therein) in connection with AMAN’s initial public offering. The Investor Rights Agreement will terminate
on the earlier of (a) the five year anniversary of the date of the Investor Rights Agreement or (b) with respect to any holder party
thereto, on the date that such holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities.
6
The
foregoing description of the Investor Rights Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
form of Investor Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.4 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein
by reference.
Lock-Up
Agreements
At
or prior to the Closing, the Sponsor and Parent will enter into lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”)
with New Corxel.
Pursuant
to the Lock-Up Agreements, the Sponsor and Parent will agree not to transfer (except for certain permitted transfers) any shares of New
Corxel Common Stock or pre-funded warrants (including shares issuable upon exercise thereof) held by such holder after the Domestication,
not including shares issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, until six months after the Closing Date. During such lock-up period,
in connection with the Distribution, Parent will be permitted to effect dividends, in-kind distributions, exchanges, redemptions or similar
transfers of its lock-up securities to its direct or indirect equityholders and other specified transferees, including in settlement
of options or other rights to acquire shares of Parent, and such recipients may make subsequent in-kind distributions or similar transfers
to their own direct or indirect equityholders or other permitted transferees. Each such transferee will be required to execute a joinder
to the Lock-Up Agreement and will remain subject to the applicable transfer restrictions for the remainder of the original lock-up period.
The
foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreements is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form
of Lock-Up Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.5 to this Current Report.
BCA
Pre-Funded Warrants
Pursuant
to the Business Combination Agreement, a portion of the shares of New Corxel Common Stock otherwise issuable as Aggregate Transaction
Share Consideration (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) may be issued in the form of pre-funded warrants (the “BCA
Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase an equal number of shares of New Corxel Common Stock. The shares underlying the BCA Pre-Funded
Warrants will count toward the Aggregate Transaction Share Consideration on a one-for-one basis.
The
BCA Pre-Funded Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, will be exercisable at any time on or after their original
issue date and will not expire until exercised in full. The BCA Pre-Funded Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis in accordance
with their terms and will contain customary provisions providing for adjustments in the event of certain dividends, distributions, stock
splits, combinations, reclassifications and similar transactions. The BCA Pre-Funded Warrants will prohibit any exercise to the extent
that, immediately before or after giving effect to such exercise, the holder would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the outstanding
New Corxel Common Stock, or 4.99% if elected by the holder.
The
foregoing description of the BCA Pre-Funded Warrants is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
form of BCA Pre-Funded Warrant, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Report.
New
Corxel Certificate of Incorporation and New Corxel Bylaws
Concurrently
with the Domestication, and prior to the Effective Time, AMAN will file a certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware (“New Corxel COI”) and will adopt bylaws (“New Corxel Bylaws”),
which together will govern the rights, privileges, and preferences of the holders of New Corxel securities after the Closing.
The
foregoing descriptions of the New Corxel COI and New Corxel Bylaws do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety
by the terms and conditions of the forms of the New Corxel COI and New Corxel Bylaws, copies of which are included as Exhibit E and Exhibit
F, respectively, to the Business Combination Agreement (attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto), and the terms of which are incorporated herein
by reference.
7
New
Corxel Equity Incentive Plan and New Corxel Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Prior
to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, AMAN will approve and adopt, in each case subject to approval by
the AMAN shareholders, the New Corxel Equity Incentive Plan and an employee stock purchase plan (the “New Corxel Employee
Stock Purchase Plan”) to provide eligible service providers of New Corxel and certain affiliated companies with the opportunity
to purchase New Corxel Common Stock and/or acquire a proprietary interest in New Corxel. The New Corxel Equity Incentive Plan will provide
for equity incentive compensation grants to employees and consultants (including non-employee directors) in the form of stock options
(both non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units,
and other stock-based and cash-based awards. The New Corxel Employee Stock Purchase Plan will permit eligible employees to purchase New
Corxel Common Stock at a discount under (i) a component that is intended to be qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (ii) a component that is not intended to be so qualified under Section
423 of the Code.
The
initial number of shares of New Corxel Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the New Corxel Equity Incentive Plan will
equal a percentage, to be mutually agreed by AMAN and Corxel, of the
number of shares of New Corxel Common Stock issued and expected to be outstanding immediately
after the Effective Time (determined on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the
PIPE Financing). Additionally, the number of shares of New Corxel Common Stock reserved and available
for issuance under the New Corxel Equity Incentive Plan will be automatically cumulatively increased on the first day of each fiscal
year beginning with the 2027 fiscal year by (i) a percentage,
to be mutually agreed by AMAN and Corxel, of the shares of New Corxel Common Stock outstanding
on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, (determined on a fully diluted basis)
or (ii) such lesser number of shares as determined by the administrator of the New Corxel Equity Incentive Plan.
The
initial number of shares of New Corxel Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the New Corxel Employee Stock Purchase
Plan will equal a percentage, to be mutually agreed by AMAN and Corxel, of the
number of shares of New Corxel Common Stock issued and expected to be outstanding immediately
after the Effective Time (determined on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the
PIPE Financing). Additionally, on the first day of each
fiscal year beginning with the 2027 fiscal year and ending with the 2036 fiscal
year, the number of shares of New Corxel Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the New Corxel Employee Stock
Purchase Plan will be cumulatively increased by (i) a percentage, to be mutually agreed by AMAN and Corxel,
of the shares of New Corxel Common Stock outstanding on
the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year (determined
on a fully diluted basis) or (ii) such other amount as
determined by the administrator of the New Corxel Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
The
foregoing descriptions of the New Corxel Equity Incentive Plan and New Corxel Employee Stock Purchase Plan do not purport to be complete
and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the forms of New Corxel Equity Incentive Plan and New Corxel Employee
Stock Purchase Plan, copies of which are included as Exhibit G and Exhibit H, respectively, to the Business Combination Agreement (attached
as Exhibit 2.1 hereto), and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants, and New Corxel Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants in connection with the

not be registered under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the
Securities Act.

expectations of Corxel’s and AMAN’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking
statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by an investor as

difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of
Corxel and AMAN. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to,
changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to
successfully or timely enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Business Combination or consummate the proposed Business
Combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals, filings, notices or other regulatory processes (including
in the United States, China and other applicable jurisdictions) are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated
conditions (such as any SEC statements or enforcements or other actions relating to SPACs) that could adversely affect the combined
company or the expected benefits of the proposed Business Combination or the risk that the approval of the stockholders of AMAN or
Corxel is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination; matters discovered by AMAN

AMAN has filed, or will file, with the SEC.
9
If
any of these risks materialize or AMAN’s or Corxel’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially
from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither AMAN nor Corxel presently know
or that AMAN and Corxel currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking
statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect AMAN’s and Corxel’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future
events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary
statements herein. AMAN and Corxel anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause AMAN’s and Corxel’s assessments
to change. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing AMAN’s and Corxel’s assessments as
of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking
statements. Neither AMAN, Corxel nor any of their respective affiliates undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements,
except as required by law.

State of Delaware or at such later date and/or time as is agreed by SPAC and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the
time the Merger becomes effective being referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

or until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal.
(vi)
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or any other Person, each share
of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and

Company Share”).

Share (other than the Company Shares canceled and extinguished pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ix)) issued and outstanding as of immediately

SPAC Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio as set forth on the Allocation Schedule; provided, that, at the election of Parent (as reflected
on the Allocation Schedule), all or a portion of such SPAC Shares shall instead be issued in the form of Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase
an equal number of SPAC Shares, and the SPAC Shares underlying such Pre-Funded Warrants shall count toward the Aggregate Transaction Share
Consideration on a one-for-one basis.
(viii)
From and after the Effective Time, each Company Stockholder’s certificates (the “Certificates”),
if any, evidencing ownership of the Company Shares and the Company Shares held in book-entry form issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall each cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Shares except as otherwise expressly provided
for herein or under applicable Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a SPAC Share will be issued by SPAC by virtue of this Agreement,
and the Number of SPAC Shares issuable to such Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a SPAC Share shall instead be rounded
down to the nearest whole share.
(xi)
If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the outstanding SPAC Shares shall have been changed into a different
number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split,
combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then any number, value (including dollar value) or amount
contained herein which is based upon the number of SPAC Shares will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Shares
the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 2.1(b)(xi)
shall not (A) be construed to permit SPAC, Merger Sub or the Company to take any action with respect to their respective securities that
is prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or (B) apply to the Domestication or any other transactions expressly contemplated
by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document to the extent consummated in accordance with the terms contemplated by this Agreement and/or
such Ancillary Document, as applicable.
23
(xii)
On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL and DLLCA, on the Closing Date

SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT.”

2.4
Treatment of Parent Options.
(a)
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action of any Party or any other Person, each Parent Option set
forth on Schedule 2.4 that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Applicable Parent Options”)
(whether a Vested Parent Option or an Unvested Parent Option) shall cease to represent the right to purchase Parent Common Shares and
shall be canceled in exchange for options to purchase SPAC Shares under the SPAC Incentive Equity Plan (each, a “Rollover
Option”) in an amount equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of Parent Common
Shares subject to such Applicable Parent Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio,
at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (i) the exercise price per share of such
Applicable Parent Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (ii) the Option Exchange Ratio; provided, however,
that such conversion shall occur in a manner intended to comply with (A) the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and (B) in the case
of any Rollover Option that is an incentive stock option, the requirements of Section 424 of the Code. Each Rollover Option shall be subject
to the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, expiration and forfeiture provisions) that applied to the corresponding
Applicable Parent Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for (i) as provided above in this Section 2.4, or
(ii) terms (A) rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any anti-dilution or other
similar provisions that adjust the number of underlying shares that could become exercisable subject to the options) or (B) to the extent
they conflict with the SPAC Incentive Equity Plan and (iii) such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the SPAC Board
(or the compensation committee of the SPAC Board) may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the
Rollover Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent may accelerate
the vesting, in whole or in part, of any Applicable Parent Option held by a service provider (including any consultant) set forth on Schedule
2.4(a), and any Applicable Parent Option so accelerated shall be treated as a Vested Parent Option for all purposes of this Agreement
(including for purposes of the definition of Fully-Diluted Shares and the Allocation Schedule), with the corresponding Rollover Option
being fully vested as of the Effective Time.
(b)
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or any other Person, (i) each
Unassumed Parent Option shall represent the right to receive a number of SPAC Shares (or the cash equivalent thereof) in an amount equal
to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of Parent Common Shares subject to such Unassumed Parent Option
(whether vested or unvested) immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio (collectively, the “Converted
Unassumed Option Shares”), and (ii) each EIP Share shall be automatically canceled and extinguished and converted into the
right to receive a number of SPAC Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio as set forth on the Allocation Schedule (collectively, the “Converted
EIP Shares”). At or promptly following the Effective Time, SPAC shall issue, or cause to be issued, to Parent (or its designee)
evidence of the Converted Unassumed Option Shares and the Converted EIP Shares in book-entry form, and the Converted Unassumed Option
Shares and the Converted EIP Shares shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.1(b)(xiii).
(c)
Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take, or cause to be taken, all necessary or appropriate actions under the Parent Equity Plan
and the underlying grant, award or similar agreement with respect to each Parent Option and otherwise, to give effect to the provisions
of this Section 2.4.

2.5
Deliverables.
(a)
As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days prior
to the Closing Date, SPAC shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”)
and enter into an exchange agent agreement (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) with the Exchange Agent for the
purpose of exchanging Certificates, if any, representing the Company Common Shares and each Company Share held in book-entry form
on the stock transfer books of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, in either case, for the portion of the Aggregate
Transaction Share Consideration (including, to the extent elected pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(vii), Pre-Funded Warrants) issuable
in respect of such Company Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(vii) and on the terms and subject to the other conditions set forth
in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Exchange Agent is unable or
unwilling to serve as the Exchange Agent, then SPAC and the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, but in no
event later than the Closing Date, mutually agree upon an exchange agent (in either case, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), SPAC shall appoint and enter into an exchange agent agreement with such exchange agent, who shall for all purposes
under this Agreement constitute the Exchange Agent. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with SPAC and the Exchange Agent in connection
with the appointment of the Exchange Agent, the entry into the Exchange Agent Agreement and the covenants and agreements set forth in
this Section 2.5 (including the provision of any information, or the entry into any agreements or documentation, necessary or advisable
in connection with any of the foregoing or otherwise required by the Exchange Agent Agreement for the Exchange Agent to fulfill its duties
as the Exchange Agent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby).
(b)
At the Effective Time, SPAC shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the Company
Stockholders and for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.5 through the Exchange Agent, evidence of SPAC Shares in book-entry
form (and, to the extent elected pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(vii), Pre-Funded Warrants) representing the Aggregate Transaction Share
Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(vii), in exchange for the Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time. All shares in book-entry form representing the portion of the Aggregate Transaction Share Consideration issuable
pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(vii) deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange
Fund.”
(c)
No interest will be paid or accrued on the Aggregate Transaction Share Consideration (or any portion thereof). From and after the
Effective Time, until surrendered or transferred, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.5, each Company Share (other
than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Shares canceled and extinguished pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ix)) shall solely represent
the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Transaction Share Consideration (in SPAC Shares or, to the extent elected pursuant to
Section 2.1(b)(vii), Pre-Funded Warrants) to which such Company Share is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(vii).
(d)
At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no transfers of Company Shares
that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(e)
Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Company Stockholders twelve (12) months following the Closing Date
shall be delivered to SPAC or as otherwise instructed by SPAC, and any Company Stockholder who has not exchanged his, her or its Company
Shares for the applicable portion of the Aggregate Transaction Share Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.5 prior to
that time shall thereafter look only to SPAC for the issuance of the applicable portion of the Aggregate Transaction Share Consideration,
without any interest thereon. None of SPAC, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any Person
in respect of any consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, unclaimed property,
escheat, or similar Law. Any portion of the Aggregate Transaction Share Consideration remaining unclaimed by the Company Stockholders
immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall become,
to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of SPAC free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled
thereto.
26
2.6
Withholding. SPAC, the Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld)
from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Tax
Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall
be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was
made. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including through the request
and provision of any statements, forms or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding).

costs incurred in connection with obtaining such Consents; provided, however, that each Party shall bear its out-of-pocket
costs and expenses in connection with the preparation of any such Consents and the Parties shall each bear one-half of the aggregate HSR

SPAC and the Company. Nothing in this Section 5.2 obligates any Party or any of its Affiliates to agree to (i) sell, license

faith the views of the other in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Entity relating to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents; provided that documents and information provided to the other Party
pursuant to this paragraph (i) may be redacted (A) to remove references to valuation of the Company, (B) to comply with contractual arrangements
or (C) to preserve legal privilege and/or (ii) may be designated as “outside counsel only,” in which case such documents and
information shall be provided only to outside counsel and consultants retained by such counsel. Each of the Parties agrees not to participate
in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with, in the case of any SPAC Party, the Company, or, in the case of the Company, SPAC
in advance.
(c)
During the Pre-Closing Period, SPAC shall not acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial
portion of the assets or equity interests of, or by any other manner, any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to
acquire any assets, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or
consolidation could be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any
authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Entity
entering a governmental Order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) materially delay
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d)
During the Pre-Closing Period, SPAC, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall each notify the other in writing promptly

Ancillary Document or any matters relating thereto (collectively, the “Transaction Litigation”) commenced against,
in the case of SPAC, any of the SPAC Parties or any of their respective Representatives (in their capacity as a representative of an SPAC
Party) or, in the case of the Company, the Company or any of its Representatives (in their capacity as a representative of the Company).
SPAC and the Company shall each (i) keep the other reasonably informed regarding any Transaction Litigation, (ii) give the other the opportunity
to, at its own cost and expense, participate in the defense, settlement and compromise of any such Transaction Litigation and reasonably
cooperate with the other in connection with the defense, settlement and compromise of any such Transaction Litigation, (iii) consider

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall, subject to and without limiting the covenants and agreements, and the rights of SPAC,
set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, control the negotiation, defense and settlement of any such Transaction Litigation; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Company or any of its respective Representatives settle or compromise any Transaction Litigation
without the prior written consent of SPAC (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that it shall be deemed
to be reasonable for SPAC to withhold, condition or delay its consent if any such settlement or compromise (A) does not provide for a
legally binding, full, unconditional and irrevocable release of each SPAC Party and Representative that is the subject of such Transaction
Litigation, (B) provides for (x) the payment of cash any portion of which is payable by any SPAC Party or Representative thereof
or would otherwise constitute a Liability of SPAC or (y) any non-monetary, injunctive, equitable or similar relief against any SPAC Party
or (C) contains an admission of wrongdoing or Liability by an SPAC Party or any of its Representatives). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, in no event shall SPAC, any of the SPAC Parties or any of their respective Representatives settle or compromise any
Transaction Litigation without the Company’s prior written consent.

convey such information regarding the applicable matter as can be conveyed) without violating such privilege, doctrine, Contract, obligation
or Law and (y) provide such information in a manner without violating such privilege, doctrine, Contract, obligation or Law), or (ii)
if the Company, on the one hand, and any SPAC Party, any SPAC Non-Party Affiliate or any of their respective Representatives, on
the other hand, are adverse parties in a litigation or other Proceeding and such information is reasonably pertinent thereto; provided

the extent doing so would (A) violate any Law to which any SPAC Party is subject, (B) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of
third parties in breach of any Contract with such third party, (C) violate any legally binding obligation of any SPAC Party with respect
to confidentiality, non-disclosure or privacy or (D) jeopardize protections afforded to any SPAC Party under the attorney-client
privilege or the attorney work product doctrine (provided that, in case of each of clauses (A) through (D), SPAC shall use, and
shall cause the other SPAC Parties to use, reasonable best efforts to (x) provide such access as can be provided (or otherwise convey
such information regarding the applicable matter as can be conveyed) without violating such privilege, doctrine, Contract, obligation
or Law and (y) provide such information in a manner without violating such privilege, doctrine, Contract, obligation or Law), or (ii)

Company, Parent or any of its Representatives, and give the Company and Parent or SPAC, as applicable, the opportunity to review such
announcement or communication and comment thereon and the disclosing Person shall consider such comments in good faith, or (B) after the

counsel in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, and, if required, Goodwin
Procter LLP shall furnish an opinion, subject to customary assumptions and limitations, to the effect that the Intended Tax Treatment

of records and information reasonably relevant to any tax proceeding or audit, making employees available on a mutually convenient basis
to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and making available to the Pre-Closing SPAC Holders
information reasonably necessary to compute any income of any such holder (or its direct or indirect owners) arising (i) if applicable,

Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code for any taxable period ending
on or prior to the Closing, including timely providing (A) a PFIC Annual Information Statement to enable such holders to make a “Qualifying
Electing Fund” election under Section 1295 of the Code for such taxable period, and (B) information to enable applicable

however, that solely in response to a SPAC Intervening Event, the SPAC Board and/or any committee of the SPAC Board may make a
Change in Recommendation prior to obtaining the SPAC Shareholder Approval if the SPAC Board or such committee determines in good faith,
after consultation with and upon the advice of its outside legal counsel, that a failure to make a Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent
with the fiduciary duties of the SPAC Board under applicable Law; provided, further, that the SPAC Board or such committee
shall not be entitled to make, or agree or resolve to make, a Change in Recommendation unless (1) SPAC has provided at least ten (10)
days’ prior written notice to the Company advising that the SPAC Board and/or such committee proposes to take such action and which
notice contains the material facts underlying the SPAC Board’s or such committee’s determination that a SPAC Intervening Event

its Representatives, that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would constitute a breach by the SPAC Board or such committee
of their respective fiduciary duties under applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, a SPAC Change in Recommendation will not affect

preceding sentence) or elsewhere in this Agreement.

of each SPAC Party, as provided in the applicable SPAC Party’s Governing Documents or as provided in such Person’s indemnity
agreement set forth on Section 5.14(a) of the SPAC Disclosure Schedules and made available to the Company (each, a “SPAC

period, SPAC shall advance, or cause to be advanced, expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the applicable
SPAC Party’s Governing Documents or applicable SPAC Indemnity Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Effective
Time. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the SPAC Parties’ Governing Documents shall
not, during such six (6)-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Effective Time in any manner that
would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time,
or at any time prior to such time, were directors or officers of any SPAC Party (the “SPAC D&O Persons”)
entitled to be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring on or prior to
the Effective Time and relating to the fact that such SPAC D&O Person was a director or officer of any SPAC Party on or
prior to the Effective Time, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law.
68
(b)
SPAC shall not have any obligation under this Section 5.14 to any SPAC D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction

of the SPAC Parties as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O
Tail Policy”). Such “tail” policy shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that
are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the Persons covered thereby) the coverage provided under the
SPAC Parties’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided
that neither SPAC nor any of its Affiliates shall pay a premium for such “tail” policy in excess of three hundred fifty
percent (350%) of the most recent annual premium paid by SPAC prior to the date of this Agreement and, in such event, SPAC or one of its
respective Affiliates shall purchase the maximum coverage available for three hundred fifty percent (350%) of the most recent annual
premium paid by SPAC prior to the date of this Agreement.

by this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Effective Time for a period of six (6) years
and (ii) SPAC shall and shall cause the Company to perform and discharge all obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation during
such six (6)-year period in accordance with the Company’s Governing Documents, the Company Indemnity Agreement or applicable Law.

D&O Persons”) entitled to be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except
as provided in Section 5.14, Section 5.15 and the subsequent sentences of this Section 8.9, nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under

5.5(a), Section 5.5(e), Section 5.21 and Section 8.20 with the right to enforce such provisions directly against
the Parties (including by an action for damages, and including specific performance and other equitable relief pursuant to Section
8.17, which shall apply to such enforcement mutatis mutandis), exercisable through Parent or through such Persons holding or entitled
to receive a majority of the SPAC Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants then held by or distributable to all such Persons (with Pre-Funded Warrants
counted on the basis of the SPAC Shares underlying them).
8.10

valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under
applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance
of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that
any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the Parties shall negotiate in
good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner
in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
8.11
Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and each Ancillary Document (including any of the closing deliverables contemplated
hereby) may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute
one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document (including
any of the closing deliverables contemplated hereby) by e-mail, or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart to this Agreement or any such Ancillary Document.
8.12

knowledge”, “to the knowledge of the Company” or “to the knowledge of Parent” and any derivations thereof
shall mean, as of the applicable date, the actual knowledge of the individuals set forth on Section 8.12(a) of the Company Disclosure
Schedules, assuming reasonable due inquiry and investigation of his or her direct reports. For all purposes of this Agreement, the phrase

date, the actual knowledge of the individuals set forth on Section 8.12(b) of the SPAC Disclosure Schedules, assuming reasonable due inquiry
and investigation of his or her direct reports. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the individuals set forth on Section 8.12(a) of the
Company Disclosure Schedules or Section 8.12(b) of the SPAC Disclosure Schedules shall have any personal Liability or obligations regarding
such knowledge.
8.13
No Recourse. Except for claims pursuant to any Ancillary Document by any party(ies) thereto against any Company Non-Party Affiliate
or any SPAC Non-Party Affiliate that is party thereto (each, a “Non-Party Affiliate”) and then solely with
respect to claims against the Non-Party Affiliate that are party to the applicable Ancillary Documents, each Party agrees on behalf of
itself and on behalf of the Company Non-Party Affiliates, in the case of the Company or Parent, and the SPAC Non-Party Affiliates,
in the case of SPAC, that (a) this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any action for breach of this Agreement may only be made
against, the Parties, and no claims of any nature whatsoever arising under or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation hereof or its
subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be asserted against any Non-Party Affiliate, and (b) none of the Non-Party
Affiliates shall have any Liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation hereof or its subject matter, or

Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, as expressly provided
herein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind

the Company or Parent set forth herein, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the Company or Parent set

on the part of any such Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf
of such Party by a duly authorized representative thereof. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement.
The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 8.14, no waiver of any provision described in Section 8.20(e), shall be effective except
in accordance with Section 8.20(e) and Section 8.9.
8.15
Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
PROCEEDING, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENT OR (II) IN ANY
WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENT OR ANY
OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO OR ANY FINANCING IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS

OF THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT
TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE
OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS
WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.15.
8.16
Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court
of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction, the Superior
Court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware), for the purposes of any Proceeding,
claim, demand, action or cause of action (a) arising under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Document or (b) in any way connected
with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby
or any Ancillary Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to
the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead
or claim in any such court that any such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding, claim, demand, action
or cause of action against such Party (i) arising under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Document or (ii) in any way connected with
or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or
any Ancillary Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, (A) any claim that such Party is not personally subject to the
jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 8.16 for any reason, (B) that such Party or such Party’s property
is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service
of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that
(x) the Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action in any such court is brought against such Party in an inconvenient forum,
(y) the venue of such Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action against such Party is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the

82
8.17
Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not
exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will
not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties 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 do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions
of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the
Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of
this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking
and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the
Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly
available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific
performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
8.18
Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of SPAC, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-295170) on May
20, 2026 (the “Prospectus”). Each of the Company and Parent acknowledges and agrees and understands that SPAC
has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering
(the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued
from time to time thereon) for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by SPAC’s
underwriters, the “Public Shareholders”), and SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express
circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and Parent hereby agrees on behalf
of itself and its Representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company,
Parent nor any of their Representatives does now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in
or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions
therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any
proposed or actual business relationship between SPAC or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and, the Company, Parent or any
of their Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort,
equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Trust
Account Released Claims”). Each of the Company and Parent (on its own behalf and on behalf of their Representatives) hereby
irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its Representatives may have against the Trust Account (including
any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, or Contracts with SPAC or its Representatives
and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for
an alleged breach of any agreement with SPAC or its Affiliates).
8.19
Legal Representation; Privilege.
(a)
The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Goodwin Procter LLP (“Goodwin”) may have, prior to
Closing, jointly represented SPAC, Merger Sub and/or the Sponsor in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, and has also represented SPAC and/or its Affiliates in connection with matters other than the transaction
that is the subject of this Agreement, Goodwin will be permitted in the future, after Closing, to represent the Sponsor or its respective
Affiliates in connection with matters in which such Persons are adverse to SPAC or any of its Affiliates, including any disputes
arising out of, or related to, this Agreement. The Company and Parent, each of which is or has the right to be represented by independent
counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, hereby agree, in advance, to waive (and to cause their Affiliates
to waive) any actual or potential conflict of interest that may hereafter arise in connection with Goodwin’s future representation
of one or more of the Sponsor or its Affiliates in which the interests of such Person are adverse to the interests of SPAC and/or
the Company (or the Surviving Company) or any of their respective Affiliates, including any matters that arise out of this Agreement
or that are substantially related to this Agreement or to any prior representation by Goodwin of SPAC, Merger Sub, Sponsor or any of their
respective Affiliates. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for the purposes of the attorney-client privilege, the Sponsor shall
be deemed the client of Goodwin with respect to the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents.
All privileged communications with Goodwin concerning such matters shall remain privileged after the Closing and the privilege and the
expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the Sponsor, shall be controlled by the Sponsor and shall
not pass to or be claimed by SPAC or the Surviving Company or any of their Affiliates; provided, further, that nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by SPAC or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company
and its Affiliates) of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any such communications
to any third party.
83
(b)
The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Cooley LLP (“Cooley”) may have, prior to Closing,
represented the Company in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
and has also represented the Company and/or its Affiliates in connection with matters other than the transaction that is the subject
of this Agreement, Cooley will be permitted in the future, after Closing, to represent the Company or its Affiliates in connection
with matters in which such Persons are adverse to SPAC or any of its Affiliates, including any disputes arising out of, or related
to, this Agreement. SPAC, Merger Sub, and/or the Sponsor, who are or have the right to be represented by independent counsel in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, hereby agree, in advance, to waive (and to cause their Affiliates to waive)
any actual or potential conflict of interest that may hereafter arise in connection with Cooley’s future representation of
one or more of the Company or its Affiliates in which the interests of such Person are adverse to the interests of SPAC, Merger Sub,
and/or the Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates, including any matters that arise out of this Agreement or that are substantially
related to this Agreement or to any prior representation by Cooley of the Company or any of its Affiliates. The Parties acknowledge
and agree that, for the purposes of the attorney-client privilege, the Company shall be deemed the client of Cooley with respect to the
negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents. All privileged communications with Cooley concerning
such matters shall remain privileged after the Closing and the privilege and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto
shall belong solely to the Company, shall be controlled by the Company and shall not pass to or be claimed by SPAC or the Surviving Company;
provided, further, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by SPAC or any of its Affiliates (including,
after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and its Affiliates) of any applicable privileges or protections that can or
may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any such communications to any third party.
8.20 Distribution.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document: (a)(i) no representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement of the Company or Parent contained herein shall bind, or be deemed to have been made on behalf of, any direct or indirect equityholder,
director, officer, employee, service provider, Affiliate or Representative of Parent (in its capacity as such) that is not a party to
this Agreement, and (ii) no such equityholder, director, officer, employee, service provider, Affiliate or Representative shall have
any liability or obligation under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document (whether in Contract, tort or otherwise, whether at law or
in equity, or whether granted by statute or based on any theory of equity or piercing the corporate veil, alter ego or otherwise) and
(b) nothing in this Agreement or any Ancillary Document shall restrict or limit any direct or indirect equityholder of Parent from acquiring,
holding, voting or disposing of any securities of any Person, and no such equityholder shall be deemed a “Representative”
of any Party for purposes of Section 5.4(a), Section 8.18 or Section 8.19 solely by reason of its equity ownership
in Parent; provided that nothing in this Section 8.20 shall limit the obligations or liability of any Person under any Ancillary
Document to which such Person is a party, solely with respect to such Person’s own obligations thereunder. Each Party acknowledges
that, following the Closing, whether or not the Parent Classification Election is made, Parent intends to distribute or dividend to its
shareholders (whether pro rata or pursuant to one or more exchange or redemption arrangements with one or more of its shareholders) all
or any portion of the SPAC Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants and other consideration received by Parent pursuant to this Agreement (or the
proceeds thereof), including in connection with the cash settlement of Parent Options not assumed pursuant to Section 2.4 (collectively,
the “Distribution”, and each Person receiving SPAC Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants in the Distribution, a “Distributee”),
and the Distribution (and any actions reasonably taken in furtherance thereof) shall be deemed expressly contemplated by this Agreement
and shall not be restricted by, or constitute a breach of, this Agreement (including Section 5.5(a)) or any Ancillary Document.
SPAC shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with Parent to facilitate the Distribution (including (i) causing
any transfer agent instructions and legends to permit the Distribution, subject to compliance with applicable securities Laws, (ii) filing,
or causing to be filed, any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the resale registration statement Prospectus required
under the Investor Rights Agreement in connection with the registration of the resale of the SPAC Shares and the SPAC Shares underlying
any Pre-Funded Warrants issued to Parent in the Merger, (iii) causing the removal of any restrictive legends from such securities
to the extent permitted by applicable securities Laws, and (iv) if requested by Parent or the applicable Distributee, use reasonable
best efforts to cause SPAC’s counsel to deliver a customary opinion required under Rule 144 of the Securities Act in connection
with the transfer of such SPAC Shares). No amendment or waiver of this Section 8.20, Section 5.5(a), Section 5.5(e)
or Section 2.1(b)(vii) (insofar as it relates to the Pre-Funded Warrant election), or the third-party beneficiary rights in respect
of any of the foregoing under Section 8.9, whether made before or after the Closing, shall be effective against Parent or its
equityholders without the prior written consent of Parent.

CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION
OF
[PUBCO]
*****
SECTION
1.
The name of this corporation is [PUBCO] (the “Corporation”).
SECTION
2.
The address of the registered
office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is 1209 Orange Street, City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Zip Code 19801, and
the name of the registered agent of the Corporation in the State of Delaware at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.
SECTION
3.
The purpose of the Corporation
is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (the “DGCL”).
SECTION
4.
Section 4.1 The
Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and
“Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares that the Corporation is authorized to issue is 1,500,000,000
shares, consisting of 1,400,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
par value $0.0001 per share.
Section 4.2 The
Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the
“Board”) is hereby expressly authorized to provide for the issue of all or any of the unissued and undesignated
shares of the Preferred Stock, in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares of such series and to determine for each such
series such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences, and relative, participating,
optional, or other rights and such qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as shall be set forth in a certificate of
designation adopted by the Board and filed in accordance with the DGCL.
Section 4.3 Irrespective
of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL, but subject to the terms of any certificate of designation filed with respect to
any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall vote together, and not as separate classes, on
any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or
Common Stock.
Ex E-2
Section 4.4 Each
outstanding share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders
of the Corporation for their vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by applicable law, holders of Common Stock
shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this certificate of incorporation (as amended from time to time, the
“Certificate of Incorporation”) (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of
Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such
affected series of Preferred Stock are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other
affected series of Preferred Stock, to vote thereon pursuant to applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation (including any
certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock).
SECTION
5.
For the management of the
business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and in further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of
the Corporation, of its directors and stockholders, or any class thereof, as the case may be, it is further provided that:
Section 5.1 Management
of the Business.
Except as otherwise provided
by the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction
of the Board. Subject to any rights of the holders of shares of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding to elect additional
directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors that shall constitute the Board shall be fixed exclusively by the Board.
Section
5.2 Board of Directors.
Subject to the rights of the
holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the directors shall
be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. The Board is authorized to assign members of
the Board already in office to such classes at the time the classification becomes effective (the “Filing Date”). At
the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Filing Date, the initial term of office of the Class I directors shall expire,
and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Filing
Date, the initial term of office of the Class II directors shall expire, and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three
years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Filing Date, the initial term of office of the Class III directors shall
expire, and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors
shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this section, each director shall serve until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such
director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall remove or
shorten the term of any incumbent director.
Ex E-3
Section 5.3
Removal of Directors.
Subject to the rights of the
holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock to remove directors elected by such series of Preferred Stock, any individual director
or the entire Board may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least 66⅔% of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally
at an election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Section 5.4
Vacancies.
Subject to any limitations
imposed by applicable law and subject to the rights of the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors
or fill vacancies in respect of such directors, any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal
or other causes and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall be filled only by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board, or by a sole remaining director,
and not by the stockholders. Any director elected to fill a newly created directorship or vacancy in accordance with the preceding sentence
shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders held to elect the class of directors to which such director is elected
and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or such director’s earlier death, resignation or
removal.
Section 5.5
Preferred Stockholders’ Election Rights.
Whenever the holders of any
one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more such
other series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, removal and other features
of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating
to any series of Preferred Stock) applicable thereto. The number of directors that may be elected by the holders of any such series of
Preferred Stock shall be in addition to the number fixed pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, and the total number of directors constituting
the whole Board shall be automatically adjusted accordingly. Except as otherwise provided by the Board in the resolution or resolutions
establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested
of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of
such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors,
shall forthwith terminate (in which case each such director thereupon shall cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a director)
and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be reduced accordingly.
Section 5.6 Bylaw
Amendments.
The Board is expressly authorized
and empowered to adopt, amend or repeal any provisions of the bylaws of the Corporation (as amended from time to time, the “Bylaws”)
without the assent or vote of the stockholders in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or the Certificate
of Incorporation. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws; provided, however, that, in addition to
any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation required by applicable law or by the Certificate of Incorporation,
such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66⅔% of the voting power of all of the
then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.
Ex E-4
Section 5.7
Stockholder Actions.
a. The
directors of the Corporation need not be elected by written ballot unless the Bylaws so provide.
b. Subject to any
rights of the holders of shares of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any action required or permitted to be
taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders and may not be effected
by consent in lieu of a meeting.
c. Subject
to any rights of the holders of shares of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation
may be called only by the Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or directors representing a majority of
directors then in office, but a special meeting may not be called by any other person or persons and any power of stockholders to call
a special meeting of stockholders is specifically denied. Only such business shall be considered at a special meeting of stockholders
as shall have been stated in the notice for such meeting.
SECTION
6.
No director or officer of
the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director
or officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL, as the same exists
or may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection
of a director or officer of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment,
modification or repeal. Solely for purposes of this Section 6, “officer” shall have the meaning provided in Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL.
SECTION
7.
Section 7.1 Unless
the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any appellate
court therefrom shall be the sole and exclusive forum for: (A) any derivative claim or cause of action brought on behalf of the Corporation;
(B) any claim or cause of action that is based upon a violation of a duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee
or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders; (C) any claim or cause of action against
the Corporation or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation, arising out of or pursuant to any provision
of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws; (D) any claim or cause of action seeking to interpret, apply, enforce or
determine the validity of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws (including any right, obligation, or remedy thereunder); (E)
any claim or cause of action as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and (F) any
claim or cause of action against the Corporation or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Corporation, governed
by the internal-affairs doctrine or otherwise related to the Corporation’s internal affairs, in all cases to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that if the designation of such court as the sole and exclusive forum for a claim or action
referred to in the foregoing clauses (A) through (F) of this Section would violate applicable law, then the United States District Court
for the District of Delaware or, if the designation of such court would violate applicable law, then the Superior Court of Delaware shall
be the sole and exclusive forum for such claim or cause of action.
Section 7.2 Unless
the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a
cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant
named in such complaint. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision is intended to benefit and may be enforced by the Corporation,
its officers and directors, the underwriters for any offering giving rise to such complaint, and any other professional entity whose
profession gives authority to a statement made by that person or entity and who has prepared or certified any part of the documents
underlying the offering.
Ex E-5
Section 7.3 This
Section 7 has been adopted under the provisions of Section 115 of the DGCL that were effective on August 2, 2025. If Section 115 of
the DGCL is amended, restated or repealed after such date, the Bylaws may be amended to adopt any bylaw authorized by the DGCL as so
amended, restated or repealed. The provisions of this Section 7 shall become inoperative from and after the date any such bylaw is
adopted.
SECTION
8.
Section 8.1 Any
person or entity holding, owning, or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have
notice of and consented to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.
Section 8.2 The
Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal, at any time and from time to time, any provision contained in the
Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, except as provided in Section 8.3, and all
rights, preferences and privileges of whatsoever nature conferred upon the stockholders, directors or any other persons whomsoever
by and pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation are granted subject to this reservation. For the avoidance of doubt, but subject
to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, Section 242(d) of the DGCL shall apply to amendments to
the Certificate of Incorporation.
Section 8.3 Notwithstanding
any other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of applicable law that might otherwise permit a lesser
vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of capital stock of the
Corporation required by applicable law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or any certificate of designation filed with respect
to a series of Preferred Stock, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66⅔% of the voting power of all of the
then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be
required to alter, amend or repeal (whether by merger, consolidation, conversion or otherwise), or adopt any provision inconsistent
with, Sections 5, 6, 7 and this Section 8.
SECTION
9.
If any provision or provisions
of the Certificate of Incorporation shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason
whatsoever, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of
the Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of the Certificate of Incorporation containing
any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall
not, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(a) The
annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, for the purpose of election of directors and for such other business as may properly
come before it, shall be held on such date and time as may be determined from time to time by the Board (or its designee). Any annual
meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board may be postponed, rescheduled or cancelled by the Board, or any director or
officer of the Corporation to whom the Board delegates such authority, at any time before or after notice of such meeting has been given
to stockholders. Nominations of persons for election to the Board and proposals of other business to be considered by the stockholders
may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders: (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting of stockholders (or any supplement
thereto); (ii) by or at the direction of the Board or a duly authorized committee thereof; or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation
who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving the stockholder’s notice provided for in Section 3.2(b) of these bylaws (as
may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”) and who is a stockholder of record at the time
of the annual meeting of stockholders, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures and requirements
set forth in this Section 3.2.
Ex F-2
For the avoidance of doubt,
clause (iii) above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations and submit other business before an annual meeting
of stockholders.
(b) At
an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as is a proper matter for stockholder action under the DGCL,
the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, and only such nominations shall be made and such business shall be conducted as shall
have been properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures below.
(i) For
nominations for the election to the Board to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of
Section 3.2(a), the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation on
a timely basis as set forth in Section 3.2(b)(iii) and must update and supplement the information contained in such written notice on
a timely basis as set forth in Section 3.2(c). Such stockholder’s notice shall include: (A) as to each nominee such stockholder
proposes to nominate at the meeting: (1) the name, age, business address and residence address of such nominee, (2) the principal occupation
or employment of such nominee, (3) the class or series and number of shares of each class or series of capital stock of the Corporation
that are owned of record and beneficially by such nominee and list of any pledge of or encumbrances on such shares, (4) the date or dates
on which such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition, (5) the questionnaire, representation and agreement
required by Section 3.2(e), completed and signed by such nominee, and (6) all other information concerning such nominee as would be required
to be disclosed in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such nominee as a director in an election contest (even if
an election contest is not involved and whether or not proxies are being or will be solicited), or that is otherwise required to be disclosed
or provided to the Corporation pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)
(including such person’s written consent to being named in a proxy statement, associated proxy card and other filings as a nominee
and to serving as a director if elected); and (B) all of the information required by Section 3.2(b)(iv).
The Corporation
may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed
nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or to serve on any committee or sub-committee of the Board, in either case
under any applicable stock exchange listing requirements, applicable law or the Policies (as defined below). The number of nominees a
stockholder may nominate for election at an annual meeting on its own behalf (or in the case of a stockholder giving the notice on behalf
of a beneficial owner, the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at an annual meeting on behalf of such beneficial
owner) shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such annual meeting. A stockholder may not designate any substitute or
alternate nominees unless the stockholder provides timely notice of such substitute or alternate nominee(s) in accordance with this Section
3.2, in the case of an annual meeting, or Section 3.3, in the case of a special meeting (and such notice contains all of the information,
representations, questionnaires and certifications with respect to such substitute or alternate nominee(s) that are required by the Bylaws
with respect to nominees for director).
Ex F-3
(ii) For
business other than nominations for the election to the Board to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant
to clause (iii) of Section 3.2(a), the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of
the Corporation on a timely basis as set forth in Section 3.2(b)(iii), and must update and supplement the information contained in such
written notice on a timely basis as set forth in Section 3.2(c). Such stockholder’s notice shall include: (A) as to each matter
such stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, (1) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting,
(2) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such
business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment), (3) the reasons for conducting such business
at the meeting, and (4) any material interest (including any anticipated benefit of such business to any Proponent (as defined below)
other than solely as a result of its ownership of the Corporation’s capital stock, that is material to any Proponent individually,
or to the Proponents in the aggregate) in such business of any Proponent; and (B) all of the information required by 3.2(b)(iv).
(iii) To
be timely, the written notice required by Section 3.2(b)(i) or 3.2(b)(ii) must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary
of the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting (for purposes of notice required for action to be taken at the Corporation’s
first annual meeting of stockholders after the filing date of the Certificate of Incorporation, the date of the immediately preceding
year’s annual meeting shall be deemed to have occurred on or around June 15 in such immediately preceding calendar year); provided,
however, that, subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.2(b)(iii), in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced
more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 70 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, or if no
annual meeting was held (or deemed to have been held), notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than the
120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the later of the close of business on (i) the 90th day prior to such annual
meeting or (ii) the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation.
In no event shall
an adjournment or postponement (or the public announcement thereof) of an annual meeting for which notice has been given, or for which
a public announcement of the date of the meeting has been made by the Corporation, commence a new time period (or extend any time period)
for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
Ex F-4
(iv) The
written notice required by Sections 3.2(b)(i) or 3.2(b)(ii) shall also include, as of the date of the notice and as to the stockholder
giving the notice, the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made and any affiliate who controls (as
such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”)) either of the
foregoing stockholder or beneficial owner, directly or indirectly (each, a “Proponent” and collectively, the
“Proponents”):
(A) the
name and address of each Proponent, including, if applicable, such name and address as they appear on the Corporation’s books and
records;
(B) the
class, series and number of shares of each class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned
of record or beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act) by each Proponent (provided, that for purposes of this
Section 3.2(b)(iv), such Proponent shall in all events be deemed to beneficially own all shares of any class or series of capital stock
of the Corporation as to which such Proponent or any of its affiliates or associates has a right to acquire beneficial ownership whether
immediately or at any time in the future);
(C) a
description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether oral or in writing) with respect to such nomination or proposal (and/or
the voting of shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation, other than a revocable proxy given in response to a proxy
solicitation made to 10 or more persons) between or among any Proponent and any of its affiliates or associates, and/or any other persons
(including their names) including without limitation, any agreements, arrangements or understandings required to be disclosed pursuant
to Item 5 or Item 6 of 1934 Act Schedule 13D, regardless of whether the requirement to file a Schedule 13D is applicable;
(D) a
representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of shares of the Corporation at the time of giving notice, will be entitled
to vote at the meeting, and that such stockholder (or a qualified representative thereof) intends to appear at the meeting to nominate
the person or persons specified in the notice (with respect to a notice under Section 3.2(b)(i)) or to propose the business that is specified
in the notice (with respect to a notice under Section 3.2(b)(ii));
(E) a
representation whether any Proponent or any other participant (as defined in Item 4 of Schedule 14A under the 1934 Act) will engage in
a solicitation with respect to such nomination or proposal and, if so, the name of each participant in such solicitation and the amount
of the cost of solicitation that has been and will be borne, directly or indirectly, by each participant in such solicitation, and a representation

is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of
the increased Board at least 10 days before the last day a stockholder may deliver a notice of nomination in accordance with Section 3.2(b)(iii),
a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 3.2 and that complies with the requirements in Section 3.2(b)(i), other than the

by this Section 3.2(e) (together, the “Policies”); and

3.2(f), as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Bylaws, unless otherwise required by applicable law, in the event
that any Proponent (i) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the 1934 Act with respect to one or more proposed
nominees and (ii) subsequently fails to (A) comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the 1934 Act (or fails to timely

accordance with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the 1934 Act by delivering a written notice to the Secretary at the principal executive

nominee shall be disregarded (and such nominee disqualified from standing for election or re-election), notwithstanding that the nominee
is included (as applicable) as a nominee in the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials for any
stockholder meeting (or any supplement thereto) and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of the election of such proposed
nominees may have been received by the Corporation (which proxies and votes shall be disregarded).

notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the 1934 Act, such Proponent shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than five
(5) Business Days prior to the applicable meeting, reasonable evidence sufficient to demonstrate that it has met the requirements of Rule
14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the 1934 Act.
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth herein, and for the avoidance of doubt, the nomination of any person whose name is included (as applicable) as

thereto) as a result of any notice provided by any Proponent pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the 1934 Act with respect to
such proposed nominee and whose nomination is not made by or at the direction of the Board or any authorized committee thereof shall not
be deemed (for purposes of clause (i) of Section 3.2(a) or otherwise) to have been made pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of
meeting (or any supplement thereto) and any such nominee may only be nominated by a Proponent pursuant to clause (iii) of 3.2(a) and,
in the case of a special meeting of stockholders, pursuant to and to the extent permitted under Section 3.3(c).
Except as otherwise required
by applicable law, and subject to the supervision, direction and control of the Board of Directors, the chairperson of the meeting shall
have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made, or proposed,
as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in the Bylaws (including, without limitation, compliance
with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the 1934 Act) and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with the Bylaws, or
the Proponent does not act in accordance with the representations required in this Section 3.2, to declare that such proposal or nomination
shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded (and such nominee disqualified from standing for
election or re-election), or that such business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that such proposal or nomination is set forth
in (as applicable) the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials and notwithstanding that proxies
or votes in respect of such nomination or such business may have been solicited or received.

Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.2, unless otherwise required by applicable law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the

not be transacted, notwithstanding that such nomination or proposed business is set forth in (as applicable) the Corporation’s proxy
statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of such vote may have been
solicited or received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 3.2, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder,

by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of
stockholders, and such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, shall
be provided to the Secretary of the Corporation at least five (5) Business Days prior to the meeting of stockholders.

anything to the contrary in this Section 3.2, the notice requirements set forth in these bylaws with respect to the proposal of any business

in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act (“Rule 14a-8”); and (2) such stockholder’s proposal has
been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for the meeting of stockholders. Subject
to Rule 14a-8 and other applicable rules and regulations under the 1934 Act, nothing in these bylaws will be construed to permit any stockholder,
or give any stockholder the right, to include or have disseminated or described in the Corporation’s proxy statement any nomination
of a director or any other business proposal.

Section 3.3
Special Meetings.
(a) Special
meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may only be called in the manner provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. Any special
meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board may be postponed, rescheduled or cancelled by the Board, or any director or
officer to whom the Board has delegated such authority, at any time before or after notice of such meeting has been given to stockholders.
(b) The
Board (or its designee) shall determine the date and time of such special meeting. Upon determination of the date, time and place, if

the provisions of Section 3.4.
(c) Only
such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s
notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors

who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving notice provided for in this paragraph and who is a stockholder of record at the time
of the special meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with Sections 3.2(b)(i), 3.2(b)(iv), 3.2(c), 3.2(e)

for the purpose of submitting a proposal to stockholders for the election of one or more directors, any such stockholder of record entitled
to vote in such election of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified

the tenth day following the day on which the Corporation first makes a public announcement of the date of the special meeting at which
directors are to be elected. The stockholder shall also update and supplement such information as required under Section 3.2(c).
In no event shall an adjournment or a postponement
(or the public announcement thereof) of a special meeting for which notice has been given, or for which a public announcement of the date
of the meeting has been made by the Corporation, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s
notice as described above.
(d) A
person shall not be eligible for election or re-election as a director at the special meeting unless the person is nominated either in
accordance with clause (i) or clause (ii) of 3.3(c). Except as otherwise required by applicable law, and subject to the supervision, direction
and control of the Board of Directors, the chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination
was made in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in the Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination is not in compliance
with the Bylaws (including, without limitation, compliance with Rule 14a-19 under the 1934 Act), or if the Proponent does not act in accordance
with the representations required in Section 3.2, to declare that such nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the
meeting and shall be disregarded (and such nominee disqualified from standing for election or re-election), notwithstanding that such
nomination is set forth in (as applicable) the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other proxy materials and notwithstanding
that proxies or votes in respect of such nomination may have been solicited or received.
Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 3.3, unless otherwise required by applicable law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the
stockholder (meeting the requirements specified in Section 3.2(f)) does not appear at the special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation
to present a nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded (and such nominee disqualified from standing for election or re-election),
notwithstanding that the nomination is set forth (as applicable) in the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting or other
proxy materials and notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of such nomination may have been solicited or received by the Corporation.
Ex F-11
(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of Sections 3.2 and 3.3, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the 1934 Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 3.2 and 3.3, and any failure to comply
with such requirements shall be deemed a failure to comply with Sections 3.2 or 3.3, as applicable; provided, however, that, to the fullest
extent not prohibited by applicable law, any references in the Bylaws to the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to proposals and/or nominations to be considered pursuant to Sections
3.2(a) and 3.3(c). Nothing in the Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights of holders of any class or series of preferred stock to
nominate and elect directors pursuant to and to the extent provided in any applicable provision of the Certificate of Incorporation.
Section 3.4 Notice
of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, notice of
each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten nor more than 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 such
meeting. Such notice shall specify the date, time and place, if any, of the meeting, the record date for determining stockholders
entitled to vote at the meeting, if such record date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to
notice of the meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be
present in person and vote at any such meeting, and, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes of the meeting. Notice
shall be deemed given as provided in Section 232 of the DGCL.
Section 3.5 Quorum
and Vote Required. At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise required by law or by the Certificate of
Incorporation, or by the Bylaws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, of the holders of a
majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue
to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
Unless a different or minimum
vote is provided by law or by applicable stock exchange rules, or by the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, in which case such
different or minimum vote shall be the applicable vote on the matter, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative
vote of a majority of the votes cast on such matter, voting affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) shall
be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, directors shall be
elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at
the meeting and entitled to vote in the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except
as required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding
shares of such class or classes or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute
a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter.
Unless a different or minimum
vote is provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws or any applicable stock exchange rules, in which case such
different or minimum vote shall be the applicable vote on the matter, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority (or plurality,
in the case of the election of directors) of the votes cast on such matter, voting affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions
and broker non-votes) shall be the act of such class or classes or series.
Ex F-12
Section 3.6 Adjournment
and Notice of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to
time either by the chairperson of the meeting or by the stockholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, voting
affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes). When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if
any, (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication)
notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communication, if
any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed present in person and may vote at such meeting are announced at the
meeting at which the adjournment is taken or are (a) 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 (b) set
forth in the notice of meeting given in accordance with 3.4.
At the adjourned meeting,
the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than
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 determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix
as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed
for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, 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 so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
Section 3.7 Voting
Rights. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or
adjournment thereof, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records
of the Corporation on the record date shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Each stockholder entitled to vote at
a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. No proxy shall be voted
after three years from its date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Voting at meetings of stockholders need
not be by written ballot. Any stockholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders must use a proxy card
color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board.
Section 3.8 List
of Stockholders. The corporation shall prepare, no later than the tenth day before each meeting of stockholders, a
complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each
stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder; provided, however, if the record date for
determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect all of the
stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date. Nothing in this Section 3.8 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 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 the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the
Corporation.
Ex F-13
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 3.9
Remote Communication; Delivery to the Corporation.
(a) If
authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, stockholders and
proxyholders not physically present at a stockholder meeting may, by means of remote communication:
(i) participate
in a meeting of stockholders; and
(ii) be
deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means
of remote communication, provided that (A) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present
and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (B) the Corporation shall implement
reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on
matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently
with such proceedings, and (C) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication,
a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.
(b) Whenever
Section 3.2 or 3.3 requires one or more persons (including a record or beneficial owner of capital stock) to deliver a document or information
to the Corporation or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation
or other document or agreement), such document or information shall be in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission)
and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested and the Corporation shall not be required to accept delivery of any document not in such written form or so delivered.

act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace
any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chairperson of the meeting
shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector,

the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted
by the Board, and which record date shall, subject to applicable law, not be more than 60 nor less than ten days before the date of such
meeting. If the Board so fixes a record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders, such
date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, unless the Board determines, at
the time it fixes the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of such meeting, that a later date on or before

date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for
stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determining the stockholders entitled
to vote in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(a).

the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record
date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which

security shall be authenticated by the manual signature, or where permissible facsimile signature, of a trustee under an indenture
pursuant to which such bond, debenture or other corporate security shall be issued, the signatures of the persons signing and
attesting the corporate seal on such bond, debenture or other corporate security may be the imprinted facsimile of the signatures of
such persons. Interest coupons appertaining to any such bond, debenture or other corporate security, authenticated by a trustee as
aforesaid, shall be signed by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation or such other person as may be authorized
by the Board, or bear imprinted thereon the facsimile signature of such person. In case any officer who shall have signed or
attested any bond, debenture or other corporate security, or whose facsimile signature shall appear thereon or on any such interest
coupon, shall have ceased to be such officer before the bond, debenture or other corporate security so signed or attested shall have
been delivered, such bond, debenture or other corporate security nevertheless may be adopted by the Corporation and issued and
delivered as though the person who signed the same or whose facsimile signature shall have been used thereon had not ceased to be
such officer of the Corporation.

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 11.1 Indemnification
of Directors, Executive Officers, Other Officers, Employees and Other Agents.
(a) Directors
and Executive Officers. The Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it presently exists or may
hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide
broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), any person who was or is made
or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director
or executive officer (for the purposes of this Section 11.1, “executive officer” has the meaning defined in
Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of the Corporation, or while serving as a director or executive officer of the Corporation,
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity
as a director or executive officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or executive officer, against all expense, liability
and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably
incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Corporation will not be required to indemnify
or advance expenses to any director or executive officer in connection with any Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person
unless (i) the Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board or (ii) the Proceeding (or part thereof) is initiated to enforce
rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses as provided under subsection (d) of this Section 11.1 or is a compulsory counterclaim
brought by such person.
Any reference to an officer
of the Corporation in this Section 11.1 shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer
and any other officer of the Corporation appointed by the Board pursuant to Section 5 of these Bylaws, and any reference to an officer
of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively
to an officer appointed by the board of directors or equivalent governing body of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation
and bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
or other enterprise. The fact that any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation or an employee of any other corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, but not an officer thereof as described in the preceding sentence, has
been given or has used the title of “Vice President” or any other title that could be construed to suggest or
imply that such person is or may be such an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not result in such person being constituted as, or being deemed to be, such an officer
of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for purposes
of this Section 11.1.
Ex F-25
(b) Other
Officers, Employees and Other Agents. The Corporation shall have power to indemnify and advance expenses to its other officers, employees
and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
(c) Expenses.
The Corporation shall advance to any current or former director or executive officer of the Corporation, or to any person, who while serving
as a director or executive officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the
Proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by such person in defending (or participating as a witness in)
any Proceeding referred to in Section 11.1(a), or in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) brought to establish or enforce a
right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under subsection (d) of this Section 11.1, provided, however, that any advancement
of expenses incurred by a current or former director or executive officer in such director’s or executive officer’s capacity
as a director or executive officer will be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee,
to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal
that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or entitled to advancement for such expenses under this Section 11.1 or otherwise.
(d) Enforcement.
Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to current and former directors
and executive officers under this Section 11.1 will be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided
for in a contract between the Corporation and such director or executive officer. Any right to indemnification or advancement of expenses
granted by this Section 11.1 to a current or former director or executive officer will be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding
such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses is denied, in whole
or in part, (ii) no disposition of a claim for indemnification is made within 60 days of request therefor, or (iii) no disposition of
a claim for an advance is made within 30 days of request therefor.
The indemnitee in such enforcement
action, if successful in whole or in part, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the
terms of an undertaking, will be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending the claim to the fullest extent permitted
by the DGCL.
In (i) any suit brought to
enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be
a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking,
the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard
for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.
Ex F-26
Neither the failure of the
Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement
of such action that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard
of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel or its
stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, will be a defense to the action or create a presumption
that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a current or former director or executive officer
to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement
of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the director or executive officer is not entitled to be
indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 11.1 or otherwise is on the Corporation.
(e) Non-Exclusivity
of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section 11.1 are not exclusive of any other right that such person may
have or hereafter acquire under any applicable law, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders
or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while holding office. The Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors,
officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL.
(f) Survival
of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Section 11.1 will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or
executive officer and will inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
(g) Insurance.
To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Corporation may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be
indemnified pursuant to this Section 11.1.
(h) Amendments.
Any repeal or modification of this Section 11.1 is only prospective and does not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time
of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any Proceeding against any current or former director
or executive officer of the Corporation.
(i) Saving
Clause. If this Section 11 or any portion hereof is invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation
will nevertheless indemnify and advance expenses to each director and executive officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable
portion of this Section 11 that has not been invalidated, or by any applicable law. If this Section 11 is invalid due to the application
of the indemnification and advancement provisions of another jurisdiction, then the Corporation will indemnify and advance expenses to
each director and executive officer to the full extent under applicable law.
(j) Certain
Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 11, the following definitions apply:
(i) The
term “Proceeding” is to be broadly construed and includes, without limitation, the investigation, preparation,
prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.
Ex F-27
(ii) The
term “expenses” is to be broadly construed and includes, without limitation, court costs, attorneys’ fees,
witness fees, fines, amounts paid in settlement or judgment and any other costs and expenses of any nature or kind incurred in connection
with any proceeding.
(iii) The
term the “Corporation” includes, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including
any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger that, if its separate existence had continued, would have had
power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, stands
in the same position under the provisions of this Section 11 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would
have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(iv) References
to “fines” include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan.
Section
12.
NOTICES
Section 12.1 Notices.
(a) Notice
to Stockholders. Notice to stockholders of stockholder meetings shall be given as provided in Section 3.4. Without limiting the manner
by which notice may otherwise be given effectively to stockholders under any agreement or contract with such stockholder, and except as
otherwise required by applicable law, notice to stockholders for purposes other than stockholder meetings may be sent by U.S. mail or
courier service, facsimile or by electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission in accordance with Section 232 of the DGCL.
(b) Notice
to Directors. Any notice required to be given to any director may be given by the method stated in subsection (a) or as otherwise
provided in the Bylaws, with notice other than one that is delivered personally to be sent to such address or electronic mail address
as such director shall have filed in writing with the Secretary, or, in the absence of such filing, to the last known address or electronic
mail address of such director.
(c) Affidavit
of Mailing. An affidavit of notice, executed by a duly authorized and competent employee of the Corporation or its transfer agent
appointed with respect to the class of stock affected, or other agent, specifying the name and address or the names and addresses of the
stockholder or stockholders, or director or directors, to whom any such notice or notices was or were given, and the time and method of
giving the same, shall in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts therein contained.
Ex F-28
(d) Methods
of Notice. It shall not be necessary that the same method of giving notice be employed in respect of all recipients of notice, but
one permissible method may be employed in respect of any one or more, and any other permissible method or methods may be employed in respect
of any other or others.
(e) Notice
to Person with Whom Communication is Unlawful. Whenever notice is required to be given, under applicable law or any provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall
not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice
to such person. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful
shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such
as to require the filing of a certificate under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice
is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.
(f) Notice
to Stockholders Sharing an Address. Except as otherwise prohibited under the DGCL, any notice given under the provisions of the DGCL,
the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address
if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Such consent shall have been deemed to have been given
if such stockholder fails to object in writing to the Corporation within 60 days of having been given notice by the Corporation of its
intention to send the single notice. Any consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation.
(g) Waiver.
Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, a written waiver,
signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after
the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice
of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the
transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the
purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in
any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws.

13.

the Corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation
required by applicable law or by the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series
of Preferred Stock (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation)), such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote
of the holders of at least 66⅔% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the

Ex G-1
[PUBCO]
2026
Equity Incentive Plan
Adopted
by the Board of Directors: [DATE]
Approved by the Stockholders: [DATE]
1. General.
(a) Plan
Purpose. The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to secure and retain the services of Employees, Directors and Consultants, to provide
incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and any Affiliate and to provide a means by which
such persons may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the Common Stock through the granting of Awards.
(b) Available
Awards. The Plan provides for the grant of the following Awards: (i) Incentive Stock Options; (ii) Nonstatutory Stock Options;
(iii) SARs; (iv) Restricted Stock Awards; (v) RSU Awards; (vi) Performance Awards; and (vii) Other Awards.
(c) Adoption
Date; Effective Date. The Plan will come into existence on the Adoption Date, but no Award may be granted prior to the Effective
Date.
2. Shares
Subject to the Plan.
(a) Share
Reserve. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2(c) and any adjustments as necessary to implement any Capitalization Adjustments,
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards will be equal to [●]1 shares.
In addition, subject to any adjustments as necessary to implement any Capitalization Adjustments, such aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock will automatically increase on January 1 of each year for a period of ten years commencing on January 1, 2027 and ending
on (and including) January 1, 2036, in an amount equal to [●] percent ([●]%) of the total number of Fully Diluted Shares
outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year;2 provided, however, that the Board may act prior to January 1 of a given
year to provide that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock.
(b) Aggregate
Incentive Stock Option Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2(a) and subject to any adjustments as necessary
to implement any Capitalization Adjustments, the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the
exercise of Incentive Stock Options is [●]3 shares.
1 NTD: To be confirmed between signing and Closing.
2 NTD: Evergreen percentages and formulations to
be confirmed between signing and Closing.
3 NTD: To be set at 3x the initial share reserve.
Ex G-2
(c) Share
Reserve Operation.
(i) Limit
Applies to Common Stock Issued Pursuant to Awards. For clarity, the Share Reserve is a limit on the number of shares of Common Stock
that may be issued pursuant to Awards and does not limit the granting of Awards, except that the Company will keep available at all times
the number of shares of Common Stock reasonably required to satisfy its obligations to issue shares pursuant to such Awards. Shares may
be issued in connection with a merger or acquisition as permitted by, as applicable, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(3), NYSE Listed Company
Manual Section 303A.08, NYSE American Company Guide Section 711 or other applicable rule, and such issuance will not reduce the number
of shares available for issuance under the Plan.
(ii) Actions
that Do Not Constitute Issuance of Common Stock and Do Not Reduce Share Reserve. The following actions do not result in an issuance
of shares under the Plan and accordingly do not reduce the number of shares subject to the Share Reserve and available for issuance under
the Plan: (1) the expiration or termination of any portion of an Award without the shares covered by such portion of the Award having
been issued; (2) the settlement of any portion of an Award in cash (i.e., the Participant receives cash rather than Common Stock);
(3) the withholding of shares that would otherwise be issued by the Company to satisfy the exercise, strike or purchase price of an Award;
(4) the withholding of shares that would otherwise be issued by the Company to satisfy a tax withholding obligation in connection with
an Award; or (5) the forfeiture back to or repurchase by the Company of shares because of a failure to meet a contingency or condition
required for the vesting of such shares.
3. Eligibility
and Limitations.
(a) Eligible
Award Recipients. Subject to the terms of the Plan, Employees, Directors and Consultants are eligible to receive Awards.
(b) Specific
Award Limitations.
(i) Limitations
on Incentive Stock Option Recipients. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or a “parent
corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” thereof (as such terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code).
(ii) Incentive
Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of the shares
of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar
year (under all plans of the Company and any Affiliates) exceeds $100,000 (or such other limit established in the Code) or any Incentive
Stock Options otherwise do not comply with the rules governing Incentive Stock Options, the Options or portions thereof that exceed such
limit (according to the order in which they were granted) or otherwise do not comply with such rules will be treated as Nonstatutory
Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Award Agreement(s).
(iii) Limitations
on Incentive Stock Options Granted to Ten Percent Stockholders. A Ten Percent Stockholder may not be granted an Incentive Stock Option
unless (1) the exercise price of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant of such Option and (2) the
Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant of such Option.
(iv) Limitations
on Nonstatutory Stock Options and SARs. Nonstatutory Stock Options and SARs may not be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants
who are providing Continuous Service only to any “parent” of the Company (as such term is defined in Rule 405) unless the
stock underlying such Awards is treated as “service recipient stock” under Section 409A because the Awards are granted
pursuant to a corporate transaction (such as a spin off transaction) or unless such Awards otherwise comply with the requirements of
Section 409A.
Ex G-3
(c) Aggregate
Incentive Stock Option Limit. The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise
of Incentive Stock Options is the number of shares specified in Section 2(b).
(d) Non-Employee
Director Compensation Limit. The aggregate value of all compensation granted or paid, as applicable, by the Company to any individual
for service as a Non-Employee Director with respect to any fiscal year, including Awards granted and cash fees paid by the Company to
such Non-Employee Director, will not exceed (1) $750,000 in total value or (2) in the event such Non-Employee Director is first
appointed or elected to the Board during such fiscal year, $1,000,000 in total value, in each case, calculating the value of any equity
awards based on the grant date fair value of such equity awards for financial reporting purposes. For avoidance of doubt, compensation
will count towards this limit for the fiscal year in which it was granted (for equity-based compensation) or earned (for cash compensation),
and not later when distributed, in the event it is deferred.
4. Options
and Stock Appreciation Rights.
Each
Option and SAR will have such terms and conditions as determined by the Board. Each Option will be designated in writing as an Incentive
Stock Option or Nonstatutory Stock Option at the time of grant; provided, however, that if an Option is not so designated or if an Option
designated as an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then such Option will be a Nonstatutory Stock
Option, and the shares purchased upon exercise of each type of Option will be separately accounted for. Each SAR will be denominated
in shares of Common Stock equivalents. The terms and conditions of separate Options and SARs need not be identical; provided, however,
that each applicable Award Agreement will conform (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Award Agreement or
otherwise) to the substance of each of the following provisions:
(a) Term.
Subject to Section 3(b) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, no Option or SAR will be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from
the date of grant of such Award or such shorter period specified in the Award Agreement.
(b) Exercise
or Strike Price. Subject to Section 3(b) regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, the exercise or strike price of each Option or SAR will
not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant of such Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option or SAR may
be granted with an exercise or strike price lower than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant of such Award if such Award
is granted pursuant to an assumption of or substitution for another option or stock appreciation right pursuant to a Corporate Transaction
and in a manner consistent with the provisions of Sections 409A and, if applicable, 424(a) of the Code.
Ex G-4
(c) Exercise
Procedure and Payment of Exercise Price for Options. In order to exercise an Option, the Participant must provide notice of exercise
to the Plan Administrator in accordance with the procedures specified in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise provided by the
Company. The Board has the authority to grant Options that do not permit all of the following methods of payment (or otherwise restrict
the ability to use certain methods) and to grant Options that require the consent of the Company to utilize a particular method of payment.
The exercise price of an Option may be paid, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and as determined by the Board, by one or more
of the following methods of payment to the extent set forth in the applicable Award Agreement:
(i) by
cash or check, bank draft or money order payable to the Company;
(ii) pursuant
to a “cashless exercise” program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to
the issuance of the Common Stock subject to the Option, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt
of irrevocable instructions to pay the exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds;
(iii) by
delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock that are already owned by the Participant
free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, with a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise that does not
exceed the exercise price, provided that (1) at the time of exercise the Common Stock is publicly traded, (2) any remaining balance of
the exercise price not satisfied by such delivery is paid by the Participant in cash or other permitted form of payment, (3) such delivery
would not violate any Applicable Law or agreement restricting the redemption of the Common Stock, (4) any certificated shares are
endorsed or accompanied by an executed assignment separate from the certificate, and (5) such shares have been held by the Participant
for any minimum period necessary to avoid adverse accounting treatment as a result of such delivery;
(iv) if
the Option is a Nonstatutory Stock Option, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise that does not exceed the exercise price, provided that (1) such shares used to pay the exercise price will not be exercisable
thereafter and (2) any remaining balance of the exercise price not satisfied by such net exercise is paid by the Participant in cash
or other permitted form of payment; or
(v) in
any other form of consideration that may be acceptable to the Board and permissible under Applicable Law.
Ex G-5
(d) Exercise
Procedure and Payment of Appreciation Distribution for SARs. In order to exercise any SAR, the Participant must provide notice of
exercise to the Plan Administrator in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement. The appreciation distribution payable to a Participant
upon the exercise of a SAR will not be greater than an amount equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value on the date
of exercise of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Common Stock equivalents that are vested and being exercised
under such SAR, over (ii) the strike price of such SAR. Such appreciation distribution may be paid to the Participant in the form of
Common Stock or cash (or any combination of Common Stock and cash) or in any other form of payment, as determined by the Board and specified
in the applicable Award Agreement.
(e) Transferability.
Options and SARs may not be transferred to third party financial institutions for value. The Board may impose such additional limitations
on the transferability of an Option or SAR as it determines. In the absence of any such determination by the Board, the following restrictions
on the transferability of Options and SARs will apply, provided that except as explicitly provided herein, neither an Option nor a SAR
may be transferred for consideration and provided, further, that if an Option is an Incentive Stock Option, such Option may be
deemed to be a Nonstatutory Stock Option as a result of such transfer:
(i) Restrictions
on Transfer. An Option or SAR will not be transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and will be exercisable
during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant; provided, however, that the Board may permit transfer of an Option or
SAR in a manner that is not prohibited by applicable tax and securities laws upon the Participant’s request, including to a trust
if the Participant is considered to be the sole beneficial owner of such trust (as determined under Section 671 of the Code and applicable
state law) while such Option or SAR is held in such trust, provided that the Participant and the trustee enter into a transfer and other
agreements required by the Company.
(ii) Domestic
Relations Orders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the execution of transfer documentation in a format acceptable to the
Company and subject to the approval of the Board or a duly authorized Officer, an Option or SAR may be transferred pursuant to a domestic
relations order.
(f) Vesting.
The Board may impose such restrictions on or conditions to the vesting and/or exercisability of an Option or SAR as determined by the
Board. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate,
vesting of Options and SARs will cease upon termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service.
(g) Termination
of Continuous Service for Cause. Except as explicitly otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or other written agreement between
a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, if a Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated for Cause, the Participant’s
Options and SARs will terminate and be forfeited immediately upon such termination of Continuous Service, and the Participant will be
prohibited from exercising any portion (including any vested portion) of such Awards on and after the date of such termination of Continuous
Service and the Participant will have no further right, title or interest in such forfeited Award, the shares of Common Stock subject
to the forfeited Award, or any consideration in respect of the forfeited Award.
Ex G-6
(h) Post-Termination
Exercise Period Following Termination of Continuous Service for Reasons Other than Cause. Subject to Section 4(i), if a Participant’s
Continuous Service terminates for any reason other than for Cause, the Participant may exercise his or her Option or SAR to the extent
vested, but only within the following period of time or, if applicable, such other period of time provided in the Award Agreement or
other written agreement between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate; provided, however, that in no event may such Award be
exercised after the expiration of its maximum term (as set forth in Section 4(a)):
(i) three
months following the date of such termination if such termination is a termination without Cause (other than any termination due to the
Participant’s Disability or death);
(ii) 12
months following the date of such termination if such termination is due to the Participant’s Disability;
(iii) 18
months following the date of such termination if such termination is due to the Participant’s death; or
(iv) 18
months following the date of the Participant’s death if such death occurs following the date of such termination but during the
period such Award is otherwise exercisable (as provided in (i) or (ii) above).
Following
the date of such termination, to the extent the Participant does not exercise such Award within the applicable Post-Termination Exercise
Period (or, if earlier, prior to the expiration of the maximum term of such Award), such unexercised portion of the Award will terminate,
and the Participant will have no further right, title or interest in the terminated Award, the shares of Common Stock subject to the
terminated Award, or any consideration in respect of the terminated Award.
(i) Restrictions
on Exercise; Extension of Exercisability. A Participant may not exercise an Option or SAR at any time that the issuance of shares
of Common Stock upon such exercise would violate Applicable Law. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or other written
agreement between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, if a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason
other than for Cause and, at any time during the last thirty days of the applicable Post-Termination Exercise Period: (i) the exercise
of the Participant’s Option or SAR would be prohibited solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon such exercise
would violate Applicable Law; or (ii) the immediate sale of any shares of Common Stock issued upon such exercise would violate the Company’s
Trading Policy, then the applicable Post-Termination Exercise Period will be extended to the last day of the calendar month that commences
following the date the Award would otherwise expire, with an additional extension of the exercise period to the last day of the next
calendar month to apply if any of the foregoing restrictions apply at any time during such extended exercise period, generally without
limitation as to the maximum permitted number of extensions; provided, however, that in no event may such Award be exercised after the
expiration of its maximum term (as set forth in Section 4(a)).
(j) Non-Exempt
Employees. No Option or SAR, whether or not vested, granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, will be first exercisable for any shares of Common Stock until at least six months following
the date of grant of such Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with the provisions of the Worker Economic Opportunity
Act, any vested portion of such Award may be exercised earlier than six months following the date of grant of such Award in the event
of (i) such Participant’s death or Disability, (ii) a Corporate Transaction in which such Award is not assumed, continued or substituted,
(iii) a Change in Control, or (iv) such Participant’s retirement (as such term may be defined in the Award Agreement or another
applicable agreement or, in the absence of any such definition, in accordance with the Company’s then current employment policies
and guidelines). This Section 4(j) is intended to operate so that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the
exercise or vesting of an Option or SAR will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay.
Ex G-7
(k) Whole
Shares. Options and SARs may be exercised only with respect to whole shares of Common Stock or their equivalents.
5. Awards
Other Than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) Restricted
Stock Awards and RSU Awards. Each Restricted Stock Award and RSU Award will have such terms and conditions as determined by the Board;
provided, however, that each applicable Award Agreement will conform (through incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference in
the Award Agreement or otherwise) to the substance of each of the following provisions:
(i) Form
of Award.
(1) Restricted
Stock Awards: To the extent consistent with the Company’s Bylaws, at the Board’s election, shares of Common Stock subject
to a Restricted Stock Award may be (A) held in book entry form subject to the Company’s instructions until such shares become vested
or any other restrictions lapse, or (B) evidenced by a certificate, which certificate will be held in such form and manner as determined
by the Board. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, a Participant will have voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company
with respect to any shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award.
(2) RSU
Awards: An RSU Award represents a Participant’s right to be issued on a future date the number of shares of Common Stock that is
equal to the number of restricted stock units subject to the RSU Award. As a holder of an RSU Award, a Participant is an unsecured creditor
of the Company with respect to the Company’s unfunded obligation, if any, to issue shares of Common Stock in settlement of such
Award and nothing contained in the Plan or any applicable Award Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, will create
or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between a Participant and the Company or an Affiliate or any
other person. A Participant will not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any RSU Award (unless
and until shares are actually issued in settlement of a vested RSU Award).
(ii) Consideration.
(1) Restricted
Stock Awards: A Restricted Stock Award may be granted in consideration for (A) cash or check, bank draft or money order payable to the
Company, (B) past services to the Company or an Affiliate, or (C) any other form of consideration (including future services) as
the Board may determine and permissible under Applicable Law.
Ex G-8
(2) RSU
Awards: Unless otherwise determined by the Board at the time of grant, an RSU Award will be granted in consideration for the Participant’s
services to the Company or an Affiliate, such that the Participant will not be required to make any payment to the Company (other than
such services) with respect to the grant or vesting of the RSU Award, or the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the RSU
Award. If, at the time of grant, the Board determines that any consideration must be paid by the Participant (in a form other than the
Participant’s services to the Company or an Affiliate) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in settlement of the RSU
Award, such consideration may be paid in any form of consideration as the Board may determine and permissible under Applicable Law.
(iii) Vesting.
The Board may impose such restrictions on or conditions to the vesting of a Restricted Stock Award or RSU Award as determined by
the Board. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the Company or an
Affiliate, vesting of Restricted Stock Awards and RSU Awards will cease upon termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service.
(iv) Termination
of Continuous Service. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement or other written agreement between a Participant and the
Company or an Affiliate, if a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason, (1) the Company may receive through a
forfeiture condition or a repurchase right any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant under his or her Restricted
Stock Award that have not vested as of the date of such termination as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, (2) any portion of
his or her RSU Award that has not vested will be forfeited upon such termination, and (3) the Participant will have no further right,
title or interest in the Restricted Stock Award or RSU Award, the shares of Common Stock subject to or issuable pursuant to the Restricted
Stock Award or RSU Award, or any consideration in respect of the Restricted Stock Award or RSU Award.
(v) Dividends
and Dividend Equivalents. Dividends or dividend equivalents may be paid or credited, as applicable, with respect to any shares of
Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award or RSU Award, as determined by the Board and specified in the Award Agreement.
(vi) Settlement
of RSU Awards. An RSU Award may be settled by the issuance of shares of Common Stock or cash (or any combination thereof) or in any
other form of payment, as determined by the Board and specified in the applicable Award Agreement. At the time of grant, the Board may
determine to impose such restrictions or conditions that delay such delivery to a date following the vesting of the RSU Award.
(b) Performance
Awards. With respect to any Performance Award, the length of any Performance Period, the Performance Goals to be achieved during
the Performance Period, the other terms and conditions of such Award, and the measure of whether and to what degree such Performance
Goals have been attained will be determined by the Board.
(c) Other
Awards. Other forms of Awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Common Stock, including the appreciation
in value thereof (e.g., options or stock rights with an exercise price or strike price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value at the
time of grant) may be granted either alone or in addition to Awards provided for under Section 4 and the preceding provisions of this
Section 5. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board will have sole and complete discretion to determine the persons to whom and
the time or times at which such Other Awards will be granted, the number of shares of Common Stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) to
be granted pursuant to such Other Awards and all other terms and conditions of such Other Awards.
Ex G-9
6. Adjustments
upon Changes in Common Stock; Other Corporate Events.
(a) Capitalization
Adjustments. In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Board shall appropriately and proportionately adjust: (i) the class(es)
and maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan and the maximum number of shares by which the Share Reserve may annually
increase pursuant to Section 2(a); (ii) the class(es) and maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive
Stock Options pursuant to Section 2(b); and (iii) the class(es) and number of securities and exercise price, strike price or purchase
price of Common Stock subject to outstanding Awards. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding
and conclusive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no fractional shares or rights for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be created
in order to implement any Capitalization Adjustment. The Board shall determine an appropriate equivalent benefit, if any, for any fractional
shares or rights to fractional shares that might be created by the adjustments referred to in the preceding provisions of this Section.
(b) Dissolution
or Liquidation. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
all outstanding Awards (other than Awards consisting of vested and outstanding shares of Common Stock not subject to a forfeiture condition
or the Company’s right of repurchase) will terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and
the shares of Common Stock subject to the Company’s repurchase rights or subject to a forfeiture condition may be repurchased or
reacquired by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the holder of such Award is providing Continuous Service, provided, however,
that the Board may determine to cause some or all Awards to become fully vested, exercisable and/or no longer subject to repurchase or
forfeiture (to the extent such Awards have not previously expired or terminated) before the dissolution or liquidation is completed but
contingent on its completion.
(c) Corporate
Transaction. The following provisions will apply to Awards in the event of a Corporate Transaction unless otherwise provided in the
instrument evidencing the Award or any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant or unless otherwise
expressly provided by the Board at the time of grant of an Award.
(i) Awards
May Be Assumed. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or
acquiring corporation’s parent company) may assume or continue any or all Awards outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar
awards for Awards outstanding under the Plan (including but not limited to, awards to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders
of the Company pursuant to the Corporate Transaction), and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company in respect of Common
Stock issued pursuant to Awards may be assigned by the Company to the successor of the Company (or the successor’s parent company,
if any), in connection with such Corporate Transaction. A surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or its parent) may choose to
assume or continue only a portion of an Award or substitute a similar award for only a portion of an Award, or may choose to assume,
continue or substitute the Awards held by some, but not all Participants. The terms of any assumption, continuation or substitution will
be set by the Board.
Ex G-10
(ii) Awards
Held by Current Participants. In the event of a Corporate Transaction in which the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation
(or its parent company) does not assume or continue such outstanding Awards or substitute similar awards for such outstanding Awards,
then with respect to Awards that have not been assumed, continued or substituted and that are held by Participants whose Continuous Service
has not terminated prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction (referred to as the “Current Participants”),
the vesting of such Awards (and, with respect to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the time when such Awards may be exercised) will
be accelerated in full to a date prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction (contingent upon the effectiveness of the
Corporate Transaction) as the Board determines (or, if the Board does not determine such a date, to the date that is five days prior
to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction), and such Awards will terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the
effective time of the Corporate Transaction, and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to such Awards
will lapse (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate Transaction). With respect to the vesting of Performance Awards that will
accelerate upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction pursuant to this subsection (ii) and that have multiple vesting levels depending
on the level of performance, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, the vesting of such Performance Awards will accelerate
at 100% of the target level upon the occurrence of the Corporate Transaction. With respect to the vesting of Awards that will accelerate
upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction pursuant to this subsection (ii) and are settled in the form of a cash payment, such cash
payment will be made no later than 30 days following the occurrence of the Corporate Transaction or such later date as required to comply
with Section 409A of the Code.
(iii) Awards
Held by Persons other than Current Participants. In the event of a Corporate Transaction in which the surviving corporation or acquiring
corporation (or its parent company) does not assume or continue such outstanding Awards or substitute similar awards for such outstanding
Awards, then with respect to Awards that have not been assumed, continued or substituted and that are held by persons other than Current
Participants, such Awards will terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to the occurrence of the Corporate Transaction; provided,
however, that any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to such Awards will not terminate and may continue
to be exercised notwithstanding the Corporate Transaction.
(iv) Payment
for Awards in Lieu of Exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event an Award will terminate if not exercised prior to the
effective time of a Corporate Transaction, the Board may provide, in its sole discretion, that the holder of such Award may not exercise
such Award but will receive a payment, in such form as may be determined by the Board, equal in value, at the effective time, to the
excess, if any, of (1) the value of the property the Participant would have received upon the exercise of the Award (including, at the
discretion of the Board, any unvested portion of such Award), over (2) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such
exercise.
Ex G-11
(d) Appointment
of Stockholder Representative. As a condition to the receipt of an Award under this Plan, a Participant will be deemed to have agreed
that the Award will be subject to the terms of any agreement governing a Corporate Transaction involving the Company, including, without
limitation, a provision for the appointment of a stockholder representative that is authorized to act on the Participant’s behalf
with respect to any escrow, indemnities and any contingent consideration.
(e) No
Restriction on Right to Undertake Transactions. The grant of any Award under the Plan and the issuance of shares pursuant to any
Award does not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company, the Board or the stockholders of the Company to make
or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business,
any Change in Control, any Corporate Transaction, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, rights
or options to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the
Common Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation
of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether
of a similar character or otherwise.
7. Administration.
(a) Administration
by Board. The Board will administer the Plan unless and until the Board delegates administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees,
as provided in subsection (c) below.
(b) Powers
of Board. The Board will have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:
(i) To
determine from time to time (1) which of the persons eligible under the Plan will be granted Awards; (2) when and how each Award will
be granted; (3) what type or combination of types of Award will be granted; (4) the provisions of each Award granted (which need not
be identical), including the time or times when a person will be permitted to receive an issuance of Common Stock or other payment pursuant
to an Award; (5) the number of shares of Common Stock or cash equivalent with respect to which an Award will be granted to each such
person; (6) the Fair Market Value applicable to an Award; and (7) the terms of any Performance Award that is not valued in whole or in
part by reference to, or otherwise based on, the Common Stock, including the amount of cash payment or other property that may be earned
and the timing of payment.
(ii) To
construe and interpret the Plan and Awards granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration.
The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award Agreement, in
a manner and to the extent it deems necessary or expedient to make the Plan or Award fully effective.
(iii) To
settle all controversies regarding the Plan and Awards granted under it.
Ex G-12
(iv) To
accelerate the time at which an Award may first be exercised or the time during which an Award or any part thereof will vest, notwithstanding
the provisions in the Award Agreement stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.
(v) To
prohibit the exercise of any Option, SAR or other exercisable Award during a period of up to 30 days prior to the consummation of any
pending stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal
cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the shares of Common Stock or the share price of the
Common Stock, including any Corporate Transaction, for reasons of administrative convenience.
(vi) To
suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. Suspension or termination of the Plan will not Materially Impair rights and obligations under
any Award granted while the Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the affected Participant.
(vii) To
amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable; provided, however, that stockholder approval will be required
for any amendment to the extent required by Applicable Law. Except as provided above, rights under any Award granted before amendment
of the Plan will not be Materially Impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (1) the Company requests the consent of the affected
Participant, and (2) such Participant consents in writing.
(viii) To
submit any amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval.
(ix) To
approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan and to amend the terms of any one or more Awards, including, but not limited
to, amendments to provide terms more favorable to the Participant than previously provided in the Award Agreement, subject to any specified
limits in the Plan that are not subject to Board discretion; provided however, that, a Participant’s rights under any Award
will not be Materially Impaired by any such amendment unless (1) the Company requests the consent of the affected Participant, and (2)
such Participant consents in writing.
(x) Generally,
to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the Board deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company
and that are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan or Awards.
(xi) To
adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit and facilitate participation in the Plan by, or take advantage
of specific tax treatment for Awards granted to, Employees, Directors or Consultants who are non-U.S. nationals or employed outside the
United States (provided that Board approval will not be necessary for immaterial modifications to the Plan or any Award Agreement to
ensure or facilitate compliance with the laws of the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction).
(xii) To
effect, at any time and from time to time, subject to the consent of any Participant whose Award is Materially Impaired by such action,
(1) the reduction of the exercise price (or strike price) of any outstanding Option or SAR; (2) the cancellation of any outstanding Option
or SAR and the grant in substitution therefor of (A) a new Option, SAR, Restricted Stock Award, RSU Award or Other Award, under the Plan
or another equity plan of the Company, covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock, (B) cash and/or (C) other valuable
consideration (as determined by the Board); or (3) any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting
principles.
Ex G-13
(c) Delegation
to Committee.
(i) General.
The Board may delegate some or all of the administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees. If administration of the Plan is delegated
to a Committee, the Committee will have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board
that have been delegated to the Committee, including the power to delegate to another Committee or a subcommittee of the Committee any
of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board will thereafter be to
the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted
from time to time by the Board. Each Committee may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with the Committee or subcommittee
to which it has delegated its authority hereunder and may, at any time, revest in such Committee some or all of the powers previously
delegated. The Board may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with any Committee and may, at any time, revest in
the Board some or all of the powers previously delegated.
(ii) Rule
16b-3 Compliance. To the extent an Award is intended to qualify for the exemption from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act that is
available under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, the Award will be granted by the Board or a Committee that consists solely of two or
more Non-Employee Directors, as determined under Rule 16b-3(b)(3) of the Exchange Act and thereafter any action establishing or modifying
the terms of the Award will be approved by the Board or a Committee meeting such requirements to the extent necessary for such exemption
to remain available.
(d) Effect
of Board’s Decision. All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board or any Committee in good faith
will not be subject to review by any person and will be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.
(e) Delegation
to Other Person or Body. The Board or any Committee may delegate to one or more persons or bodies the authority to do one or more
of the following to the extent permitted by Applicable Law: (i) designate recipients, other than Officers, of Awards, provided that no
person or body may be delegated authority to grant an Award to themself; (ii) determine the number of shares subject to such Awards;
and (iii) determine the terms of such Awards; provided, however, that the Board or Committee action regarding such delegation will fix
the terms of such delegation in accordance with Applicable Law, including without limitation Sections 152 and 157 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Unless provided otherwise in the Board or Committee action regarding such delegation, each Award granted pursuant to
this section will be granted on the applicable form of Award Agreement most recently approved for use by the Board or the Committee,
with any modifications necessary to incorporate or reflect the terms of such Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
neither the Board nor any Committee may delegate to any person or body (who is not a Director or that is not comprised solely of Directors,
respectively) the authority to determine the Fair Market Value.
Ex G-14
8. Tax
Withholding.
(a) Withholding
Authorization. As a condition to acceptance of any Award under the Plan, a Participant authorizes withholding from payroll and any
other amounts payable to such Participant, and otherwise agrees to make adequate arrangements to satisfy, any Tax-Related Item withholding
obligations, if any, of the Company and/or an Affiliate that arise in connection with the grant, vesting, exercise or settlement of such
Award, as applicable. Accordingly, a Participant may not be able to exercise an Award even though the Award is vested, and the Company
shall have no obligation to issue shares of Common Stock subject to an Award, unless and until such obligations are satisfied.
(b) Satisfaction
of Withholding Obligation. To the extent permitted by the terms of an Award Agreement, the Company may, in its sole discretion, satisfy
any Tax-Related Item withholding obligation relating to an Award by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (i)
causing the Participant to tender a cash payment; (ii) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise
issuable to the Participant in connection with the Award; (iii) withholding cash from an Award settled in cash; (iv) withholding payment
from any amounts otherwise payable to the Participant; (v) by allowing a Participant to effectuate a “cashless exercise”
pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board; (vi) allowing the Participant to enter
into a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer (including, without limitation, a commitment under a previously established
written trading plan that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act); or (vii) by such other method as may
be set forth in the Award Agreement.
(c) No
Obligation to Notify or Minimize Taxes; No Liability to Claims. Except as required by Applicable Law, the Company has no duty or
obligation to any Participant to advise such holder as to the time or manner of exercising such Award. Furthermore, the Company has no
duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise such holder of a pending termination or expiration of an Award or a possible period in
which the Award may not be exercised. The Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of an Award to the holder
of such Award and will not be liable to any holder of an Award for any adverse tax consequences to such holder in connection with an
Award. As a condition to accepting an Award under the Plan, each Participant (i) agrees to not make any claim against the Company, or
any of its Officers, Directors, Employees or Affiliates related to tax liabilities arising from such Award or other Company compensation
and (ii) acknowledges that such Participant was advised to consult with his or her own personal tax, financial and other legal advisors
regarding the tax consequences of the Award and has either done so or knowingly and voluntarily declined to do so. Additionally, each
Participant acknowledges any Option or SAR granted under the Plan is exempt from Section 409A only if the exercise or strike price is
at least equal to the “fair market value” of the Common Stock on the date of grant as determined by the Internal Revenue
Service and there is no other impermissible deferral of compensation associated with the Award. Additionally, as a condition to accepting
an Option or SAR granted under the Plan, each Participant agrees not to make any claim against the Company, or any of its Officers, Directors,
Employees or Affiliates in the event that the Internal Revenue Service asserts that such exercise price or strike price is less than
the “fair market value” of the Common Stock on the date of grant as subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service.
Ex G-15
(d) Withholding
Indemnification. The Company and/or its Affiliate may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering statutory or other
withholding rates, including minimum or maximum rates applicable in a Participant’s jurisdiction. In the event of overwithholding,
the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Common Stock) or,
if not refunded, the Participant may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of underwithholding, the Participant
may be required to pay any additional Tax-Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or its Affiliate.
As a condition to accepting an Award under the Plan, in the event that the amount of the Company’s and/or its Affiliate’s
withholding obligation in connection with such Award was greater than the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or its Affiliates,
each Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company and/or its Affiliates harmless from any failure by the Company and/or its Affiliates
to withhold the proper amount. Further, if the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock,
for tax purposes, the Participant will be deemed to have been issued the full number of shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding
that a number of the shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.
9. Miscellaneous.
(a) Source
of Shares. The stock issuable under the Plan will be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares
repurchased by the Company on the open market or otherwise.
(b) Use
of Proceeds from Sales of Common Stock. Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Awards will constitute general
funds of the Company.
(c) Corporate
Action Constituting Grant of Awards. Corporate action constituting a grant by the Company of an Award to any Participant will be
deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Board, regardless of when the instrument,
certificate, or letter evidencing the Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant. In the event that
the corporate records (e.g., Board consents, resolutions or minutes) documenting the corporate action approving the grant contain terms
(e.g., exercise price, vesting schedule or number of shares) that are inconsistent with those in the Award Agreement or related grant
documents as a result of a clerical error in the Award Agreement or related grant documents, the corporate records will control and the
Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Award Agreement or related grant documents.
(d) Stockholder
Rights. No Participant will be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of
Common Stock subject to such Award unless and until (i) such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Award pursuant
to its terms, if applicable, and (ii) the issuance of the Common Stock subject to such Award is reflected in the records of the Company.
(e) No
Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan, any Award Agreement or any other instrument executed thereunder or in connection
with any Award granted pursuant thereto will confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in
the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate at will (unless
otherwise required under Applicable Law) and without regard to any future vesting opportunity that a Participant may have with respect
to any Award (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without Cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant
to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an Affiliate, or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the
Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the U.S. state or non-U.S. jurisdiction
in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be. Further, nothing in the Plan, any Award Agreement or any other
instrument executed thereunder or in connection with any Award will constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or an Affiliate
regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment
or service or confer any right or benefit under the Award or the Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the
terms of the Award Agreement and/or Plan.
Ex G-16
(f) Change
in Time Commitment. In the event a Participant’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of his or her services
for the Company and any Affiliates is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Participant is an Employee of the Company
and the Employee has a change in status from a full-time Employee to a part-time Employee or takes an extended leave of absence) after
the date of grant of any Award to the Participant, the Board may determine, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, to (i) make a
corresponding reduction in the number of shares or cash amount subject to any portion of such Award that is scheduled to vest or become
payable after the date of such change in time commitment, and (ii) in lieu of or in combination with such a reduction, extend the vesting
or payment schedule applicable to such Award. In the event of any such reduction, the Participant will have no right with respect to
any portion of the Award that is so reduced.
(g) Execution
of Additional Documents. As a condition to accepting an Award under the Plan, the Participant agrees to execute any additional documents
or instruments necessary or desirable, as determined in the Plan Administrator’s sole discretion, to carry out the purposes or
intent of the Award, or facilitate compliance with securities and/or other regulatory requirements, in each case at the Plan Administrator’s
request.
(h) Electronic
Delivery and Participation. Any reference herein or in an Award Agreement to a “written” agreement or document will include
any agreement or document delivered electronically, filed publicly at www.sec.gov (or any successor website thereto) or posted on the
Company’s intranet (or other shared electronic medium controlled by the Company to which the Participant has access). By accepting
any Award the Participant consents to receive documents by electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through any on-line electronic
system established and maintained by the Plan Administrator or another third party selected by the Plan Administrator. The form of delivery
of any Common Stock (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by the Company.
(i) Clawback/Recovery.
All Awards granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company is required to
adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are
listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other Applicable Law and any clawback
policy that the Company otherwise adopts, to the extent applicable and permissible under Applicable Law. In addition, the Board may impose
such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Board determines necessary or appropriate, including
but not limited to a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired shares of Common Stock or cash or other property upon the
occurrence of Cause. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a Participant’s right
to voluntarily terminate employment upon a “resignation for good reason,” or for a “constructive termination”
or any similar term under any plan of or agreement with the Company.
(j) Securities
Law Compliance. A Participant will not be issued any shares in respect of an Award unless either (i) the shares are registered under
the Securities Act or (ii) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act. Each Award also must comply with other Applicable Law governing the Award, and a Participant will not receive such shares if the
Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with Applicable Law.
(k) Transfer
or Assignment of Awards; Issued Shares. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or the form of Award Agreement, Awards granted under
the Plan may not be transferred or assigned by the Participant. After the vested shares subject to an Award have been issued, or in the
case of a Restricted Stock Award and similar awards, after the issued shares have vested, the holder of such shares is free to assign,
hypothecate, donate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in such shares provided that any such actions are in compliance with
the provisions herein, the terms of the Trading Policy and Applicable Law.
(l) Effect
on Other Employee Benefit Plans. The value of any Award granted under the Plan, as determined upon grant, vesting or settlement,
shall not be included as compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating any Participant’s benefits
under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any Affiliate, except as such plan otherwise expressly provides. The Company
expressly reserves its rights to amend, modify, or terminate any of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s employee benefit plans.
(m) Deferrals.
To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine that the delivery of Common Stock or the
payment of cash, upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of all or a portion of any Award may be deferred and may also establish programs
and procedures for deferral elections to be made by Participants. Deferrals will be made in accordance with the requirements of Section
409A.
Ex G-17
(n) Section
409A. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in an Award Agreement, the Plan and Award Agreements will be interpreted to the greatest
extent possible in a manner that makes the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder exempt from Section 409A, and, to the extent not so
exempt, in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A. If the Board determines that any Award granted hereunder is not exempt from
and is therefore subject to Section 409A, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award will incorporate the terms and conditions necessary
to avoid the consequences specified in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, and to the extent an Award Agreement is silent on terms necessary
for compliance, such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Plan (and unless the Award Agreement specifically provides otherwise), if the shares of Common Stock are publicly traded, and if
a Participant holding an Award that constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A is a “specified employee”
for purposes of Section 409A, no distribution or payment of any amount that is due because of a “separation from service”
(as defined in Section 409A without regard to alternative definitions thereunder) will be issued or paid before the earlier of (i) the
date that is six months and one day following the date of such Participant’s “separation from service,” or (ii) the
date of the Participant’s death, unless such distribution or payment can be made in a manner that complies with Section 409A. Any
amounts so deferred will be paid in a lump sum on the day after such six-month period elapses (or upon the Participant’s death,
if earlier), with the balance paid thereafter on the original schedule.
(o) Choice
of Law. This Plan and any controversy arising out of or relating to this Plan shall
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles
that would result in any application of any law other than the law of the State of Delaware.
10. Covenants
of the Company.
The
Company will seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency, as may be deemed to be necessary, having jurisdiction over the
Plan such authority as may be required to grant Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise or vesting of the Awards;
provided, however, that this undertaking will not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Award or any
Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Award. If, after reasonable efforts and at a reasonable cost, the Company is unable
to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary or advisable for the
lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company will be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell
Common Stock upon exercise or vesting of such Awards unless and until such authority is obtained. A Participant is not eligible for the
grant of an Award or the subsequent issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the Award if such grant or issuance would be in violation of
any Applicable Law.
11. Severability.
If
all or any part of the Plan or any Award Agreement is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or invalid, such
unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of the Plan or such Award Agreement not declared to be unlawful or invalid.
Any Section of the Plan or any Award Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or invalid shall, if possible,
be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while
remaining lawful and valid.
Ex G-18
12. Termination
of the Plan.
The
Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Incentive Stock Options may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the earlier
of: (i) the Adoption Date; or (ii) the date the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders. No Awards may be granted under
the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, large nonrecurring cash dividend,
stock split, reverse stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or any
similar equity restructuring transaction, as that term is used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards

absence of such agreement, such term means, with respect to a Participant, the Company has determined in its sole discretion that the
Participant has engaged in any one or more of the following: (i) the Participant’s conviction or indictment of, or plea of no contest
to, any felony; (ii) any material act or omission of the Participant constituting dishonesty, fraud, immoral, or disreputable conduct

determination that a termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service is either for Cause or without Cause will be made by the
Board with respect to Participants who are executive officers of the Company and by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer with
respect to Participants who are not executive officers of the Company. Any determination by the Company that the Continuous Service of
a Participant was terminated with or without Cause for the purposes of outstanding Awards held by such Participant will have no effect
upon any determination of the rights or obligations of the Company or such Participant for any other purpose.
(j) “Change
in Control” or “Change of Control” means the occurrence, in a single transaction or in a series
of related transactions, of any one or more of the following events:
(i) any
Exchange Act Person becomes the Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined
voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities other than by virtue of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur (A) on account of the acquisition of securities of the
Company directly from the Company, (B) on account of the acquisition of securities of the Company by an investor, any affiliate
thereof or any other Exchange Act Person that acquires the Company’s securities in a transaction or series of related transactions
the primary purpose of which is to obtain financing for the Company through the issuance of equity securities, or (C) solely because
the level of Ownership held by any Exchange Act Person (the “Subject Person”) exceeds the designated percentage
threshold of the outstanding voting securities as a result of a repurchase or other acquisition of voting securities by the Company reducing
the number of shares outstanding, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result
of the acquisition of voting securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition, the Subject Person becomes the Owner of any
additional voting securities that, assuming the repurchase or other acquisition had not occurred, increases the percentage of the then
outstanding voting securities Owned by the Subject Person over the designated percentage threshold, then a Change in Control shall be
deemed to occur;
(ii) there
is consummated a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving (directly or indirectly) the Company and, immediately after the
consummation of such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior thereto do not Own,
directly or indirectly, either (A) outstanding voting securities representing more than 50% of the combined outstanding voting power
of the surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction or (B) more than 50% of the combined outstanding voting
power of the parent of the surviving Entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction, in each case in substantially the same
proportions as their Ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such transaction;
Ex G-20
(iii) there
is consummated a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, other than a sale, lease, license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of
the Company and its Subsidiaries to an Entity, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are Owned
by stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their Ownership of the outstanding voting securities of the Company
immediately prior to such sale, lease, license or other disposition; or
(iv) individuals
who, on the Effective Date, are members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute
at least a majority of the members of the Board; provided, however, that if the appointment or election (or nomination for election)
of any new Board member was approved or recommended by a majority vote of the members of the Incumbent Board then still in office, such
new member shall, for purposes of this Plan, be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan, (A) the term Change in Control shall not include a sale of assets, merger or other
transaction effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company and (B) the definition of Change in Control
(or any analogous term) in an individual written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant shall supersede the
foregoing definition with respect to Awards subject to such agreement; provided, however, that if no definition of Change in Control
or any analogous term is set forth in such an individual written agreement, the foregoing definition shall apply, and (C) with respect
to any nonqualified deferred compensation that becomes payable on account of the Change in Control, the transaction or event described
in clause (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) also constitutes a Section 409A Change in Control if required in order for the payment not to violate
Section 409A of the Code.
The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement shall not constitute a Change in Control under the
Plan.
(k) “Code”

However, service solely as a Director, or payment of a fee for such service, will not cause a Director to be considered a “Consultant”
for purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person is treated as a Consultant under this Plan only if a Form S-8 Registration
Statement under the Securities Act is available to register either the offer or the sale of the Company’s securities to such person.
(q) “Continuous
Service” means that the Participant’s service with the Company or an Affiliate, whether as an Employee, Director
or Consultant, is not interrupted or terminated. A change in the capacity in which the Participant renders service to the Company or
an Affiliate as an Employee, Director or Consultant or a change in the Entity for which the Participant renders such service, provided
that there is no interruption or termination of the Participant’s service with the Company or an Affiliate, will not terminate
a Participant’s Continuous Service; provided, however, that if the Entity for which a Participant is rendering services
ceases to qualify as an Affiliate, as determined by the Board, such Participant’s Continuous Service will be considered to have
terminated on the date such Entity ceases to qualify as an Affiliate. For example, a change in status from an Employee of the Company
to a Consultant of an Affiliate or to a Director will not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service. To the extent permitted by
Applicable Law, the Board or the chief executive officer of the Company, in that party’s sole discretion, may determine whether
Continuous Service will be considered interrupted in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Board or chief executive officer,
including sick leave, military leave or any other personal leave, or (ii) transfers between the Company, an Affiliate, or their successors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a leave of absence will be treated as Continuous Service for purposes of vesting in an Award only to such
extent as may be provided in the Company’s leave of absence policy, in the written terms of any leave of absence agreement or policy
applicable to the Participant, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law. In addition, to the extent required for exemption from or
compliance with Section 409A, the determination of whether there has been a termination of Continuous Service will be made, and such
term will be construed, in a manner that is consistent with the definition of “separation from service” as defined under
Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder).
(r) “Corporate
Transaction” means the consummation, in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, of any one or more
of the following events:

sale or other disposition of all or substantially all, as determined by the Board, of the consolidated assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries;
(ii) a
sale or other disposition of at least 50% of the outstanding securities of the Company;
(iii) a
merger, consolidation or similar transaction following which the Company is not the surviving corporation; or
(iv) a
merger, consolidation or similar transaction following which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately preceding the merger, consolidation or similar transaction are converted or exchanged by virtue of the merger,
consolidation or similar transaction into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise.

Notwithstanding
the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan, (A) the term Corporate Transaction shall not include a sale of assets, merger or other
transaction effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company, (B) the definition of Corporate Transaction

foregoing definition with respect to Awards subject to such agreement; provided, however, that if no definition of Corporate Transaction
or any analogous term is set forth in such an individual written agreement, the foregoing definition shall apply, and (C) with respect
to any nonqualified deferred compensation that becomes payable on account of the Corporate Transaction, the transaction or event described
in clause (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) also constitutes a Section 409A Change in Control if required in order for the payment not to violate
Section 409A of the Code.
The
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement shall not constitute a Corporate Transaction under
the Plan.

basis of such medical evidence as the Board deems warranted under the circumstances.

Combination Agreement, provided that this Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders prior to such date.

sales price for such stock as quoted on such exchange or market (or the exchange or market with the greatest volume of trading in the
Common Stock) on the date of determination, as reported in a source the Board deems reliable.
(ii) If
there is no closing sales price for the Common Stock on the date of determination, then the Fair Market Value will be the closing selling

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Adopted
by the Board of Directors: [DATE]
Approved by the Stockholders: [DATE]
1. General;
Purpose.
(a) The
Plan provides a means by which Eligible Employees of the Company and certain Designated Companies may be given an opportunity to purchase
shares of Common Stock. The Plan permits the Company to grant a series of Purchase Rights to Eligible Employees under an Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. In addition, the Plan permits the Company to grant a series of Purchase Rights to Eligible Employees that do not meet the
requirements of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
(b) The
Plan includes two components: a 423 Component and a Non-423 Component. The Company intends (but makes no undertaking or representation
to maintain) the 423 Component to qualify as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The provisions of the 423 Component, accordingly, will be
construed in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. In addition, this Plan authorizes grants of
Purchase Rights under the Non-423 Component that do not meet the requirements of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Except as otherwise
provided in the Plan or determined by the Board, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423
Component. In addition, the Company may make separate Offerings which vary in terms (provided that such terms are not inconsistent with
the provisions of the Plan or the requirements of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan to the extent the Offering is made under the 423 Component),
and the Company will designate which Designated Company is participating in each separate Offering.
(c) The
Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to retain the services of Eligible Employees, to secure and retain the services of new Employees
and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and its Related Corporations.
2. Administration.
(a) The
Board will administer the Plan unless and until the Board delegates administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees, as provided
in Section 2(c). References herein to the Board shall be deemed to refer to the Committee except where context dictates otherwise.
(b) The
Board will have the power, subject to, and within the limitations of, the express provisions of the Plan:
(i) To
determine how and when Purchase Rights will be granted and the provisions of each Offering (which need not be identical).
(ii) To
designate from time to time (A) which Related Corporations of the Company will be eligible to participate in the Plan as Designated 423
Companies, (B) which Related Corporations or Affiliates will be eligible to participate in the Plan as Designated Non-423 Companies, (C)
which Affiliates or Related Corporations may be excluded from participation in the Plan, and (D) which Designated Companies will participate
in each separate Offering (to the extent that the Company makes separate Offerings).
Ex H-2
(iii) To
construe and interpret the Plan and Purchase Rights, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration.
The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan, in a manner and to the extent
it deems necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective.
(iv) To
settle all controversies regarding the Plan and Purchase Rights granted under the Plan.
(v) To
suspend or terminate the Plan at any time as provided in Section 12.
(vi) To
amend the Plan at any time as provided in Section 12.
(vii) Generally,
to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as it deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company and its
Related Corporations and to carry out the intent that the Plan be treated as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan with respect to the 423 Component.
(viii) To
adopt such rules, procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit or facilitate participation in the Plan by Employees
who are foreign nationals or employed or located outside the United States. Without limiting the generality of, and consistent with, the
foregoing, the Board specifically is authorized to adopt rules, procedures, and sub-plans regarding, without limitation, eligibility to
participate in the Plan, the definition of eligible “earnings,” handling and making of Contributions, establishment of bank
or trust accounts to hold Contributions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, determination
of beneficiary designation requirements, withholding procedures and handling of share issuances, any of which may vary according to applicable
requirements, and which, if applicable to a Designated Non-423 Company, do not have to comply with the requirements of Section 423 of
the Code.
(c) The
Board may delegate some or all of the administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees. If administration is delegated to a Committee,
the Committee will have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board that have been
delegated to the Committee, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized
to exercise (and references in this Plan and any applicable Offering Document to the Board will thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee),
subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board.
Further, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, the Board or Committee may, from time to time, delegate some or all of its authority
under the Plan to one or more officers of the Company or other persons or groups of persons as it deems necessary, appropriate or advisable
under conditions or limitations that it may set at or after the time of the delegation. The Board may retain the authority to concurrently
administer the Plan with the Committee (or its delegate) and may, at any time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously
delegated. Whether or not the Board has delegated administration of the Plan to a Committee (or a delegate of the Committee), the Board
will have the final power to determine all questions of policy and expediency that may arise in the administration of the Plan.
(d) All
determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board in good faith will not be subject to review by any person and will
be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.

3. Shares
of Common Stock Subject to the Plan.
(a) Subject
to the provisions of Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued
under the Plan will not exceed [●]1 shares
of Common Stock, plus the number of shares of Common Stock that are automatically added on January 1st of each year for a period of up
to ten years, commencing on January 1, 2027 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2036 in an amount equal to the lesser
of (x) [●] percent ([●]%)
of the total number of Fully Diluted Shares outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year, and (y) [●]2
shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act prior to the first day of any
calendar year to provide that there will be no January 1st increase in the share reserve for such calendar year or that the
increase in the share reserve for such calendar year will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock than would otherwise occur pursuant
to the preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock reserved under this Section
3(a) may be used to satisfy purchases of Common Stock under the 423 Component and any remaining portion of such maximum number of shares
may be used to satisfy purchases of Common Stock under the Non-423 Component.
(b) If
any Purchase Right granted under the Plan terminates without having been exercised in full, the shares of Common Stock not purchased under
such Purchase Right will again become available for issuance under the Plan.
(c) The
stock purchasable under the Plan will be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by
the Company on the open market.
4. Grant
of Purchase Rights; Offering.
(a) The
Board may from time to time grant or provide for the grant of Purchase Rights to Eligible Employees under an Offering (consisting of one
or more Purchase Periods) on an Offering Date or Offering Dates selected by the Board. Each Offering will be in such form and will contain
such terms and conditions as the Board will deem appropriate, and with respect to the 423 Component, will comply with the requirement
of Section 423(b)(5) of the Code that all Employees granted Purchase Rights will have the same rights and privileges. The terms and conditions
of an Offering shall be incorporated by reference into the Plan and treated as part of the Plan. The provisions of separate Offerings
need not be identical, but each Offering will include (through incorporation of the provisions of this Plan by reference in the document
comprising the Offering or otherwise) the period during which the Offering will be effective, which period will not exceed 27 months beginning
with the Offering Date, and the substance of the provisions contained in Sections 5 through 8, inclusive.
(b) If
a Participant has more than one Purchase Right outstanding under the Plan, unless such Participant otherwise indicates in forms delivered
to the Company or a third party designated by the Company (each, a “Company Designee”): (i) each form will apply
to all of such Participant’s Purchase Rights under the Plan, and (ii) a Purchase Right with a lower exercise price (or an earlier-granted
Purchase Right, if different Purchase Rights have identical exercise prices) will be exercised to the fullest possible extent before a
Purchase Right with a higher exercise price (or a later-granted Purchase Right if different Purchase Rights have identical exercise prices)
will be exercised.
1 NTD:
Percentages to be confirmed between signing and Closing.
2 NTD: Percentages to be confirmed between signing
and Closing.
Ex H-4
(c) The
Board will have the discretion to structure an Offering so that if the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the first Trading
Day of a new Purchase Period within that Offering is less than or equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Offering
Date for that Offering, then (i) that Offering will terminate immediately as of that first Trading Day, and (ii) the Participants in such
terminated Offering will be automatically enrolled in a new Offering beginning on the first Trading Day of such new Purchase Period.
5. Eligibility.
(a) Purchase
Rights may be granted only to Employees of the Company or, as the Board may designate in accordance with Section 2(b), to Employees of
a Related Corporation or an Affiliate. Except as provided in Section 5(b) or as required by Applicable Law, an Employee will not be eligible
to be granted Purchase Rights unless, on the Offering Date, the Employee has been in the employ of the Company, the Related Corporation
or the Affiliate, as the case may be, for such continuous period preceding such Offering Date as the Board may (unless prohibited by Applicable
Law) require, but in no event will the required period of continuous employment be equal to or greater than two years. In addition, the
Board may provide (unless prohibited by Applicable Law) that no Employee will be eligible to be granted Purchase Rights under the Plan
unless, on the Offering Date, such Employee’s customary employment with the Company, the Related Corporation or the Affiliate is
more than 20 hours per week and more than five months per calendar year or such other criteria as the Board may determine consistent with
Section 423 of the Code with respect to the 423 Component. The Board may also exclude (unless prohibited by Applicable Law) from participation
in the Plan or any Offering Employees who are “highly compensated employees” (within the meaning of Section 423(b)(4)(D) of
the Code) of the Company, a Related Corporation or an Affiliate, or a subset of such highly compensated employees.
(b) The
Board may provide that each person who, during the course of an Offering, first becomes an Eligible Employee will, on a date or dates
specified in the Offering which coincides with the day on which such person becomes an Eligible Employee or which occurs thereafter, receive
a Purchase Right under that Offering, which Purchase Right will thereafter be deemed to be a part of that Offering. Such Purchase Right
will have the same characteristics as any Purchase Rights originally granted under that Offering, as described herein, except that:
(i) the
date on which such Purchase Right is granted will be the “Offering Date” of such Purchase Right for all purposes, including
determination of the exercise price of such Purchase Right;
(ii) the
period of the Offering with respect to such Purchase Right will begin on its Offering Date and end coincident with the end of such Offering;
and
(iii) the
Board may provide that if such person first becomes an Eligible Employee within a specified period of time before the end of the Offering,
such individual will not receive any Purchase Right under that Offering.
(c) No
Employee will be eligible for the grant of any Purchase Rights under the 423 Component if, immediately after any such Purchase Rights
are granted, such Employee owns stock possessing five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock
of the Company or of any Related Corporation. For purposes of this Section 5(c), the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code will apply in
determining the stock ownership of any Employee, and stock which such Employee may purchase under all outstanding Purchase Rights and
options will be treated as stock owned by such Employee.
(d) As
specified by Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, an Eligible Employee may be granted Purchase Rights under the 423 Component only if such Purchase
Rights, together with any other rights granted under all Employee Stock Purchase Plans of the Company and any Related Corporations, do
not permit such Eligible Employee’s rights to purchase stock of the Company or any Related Corporation to accrue at a rate which,
when aggregated, exceeds $25,000 of Fair Market Value of such stock (determined at the time such rights are granted, and which, with respect
to the Plan, will be determined as of their respective Offering Dates) for each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at
any time.
Ex H-5
(e) Officers
of the Company and any Designated Company, if they are otherwise Eligible Employees, will be eligible to participate in Offerings under
the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may (unless prohibited by Applicable Law) provide in an Offering that Employees who
are highly compensated Employees within the meaning of Section 423(b)(4)(D) of the Code will not be eligible to participate.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, in the case of an Offering under the Non-423 Component, an Eligible Employee (or group of
Eligible Employees) may be excluded from participation in the Plan or an Offering if the Board has determined, in its sole discretion,
that participation of such Eligible Employee(s) is not advisable or practical for any reason.
6. Purchase
Rights; Purchase Price.
(a) On
each Offering Date, each Eligible Employee, pursuant to an Offering made under the Plan, will be granted a Purchase Right to purchase
up to that number of shares of Common Stock purchasable either with a percentage of earnings (as defined by the Board in each Offering)
or with a maximum dollar amount, as designated by the Board, but in either case not exceeding 15% of such Employee’s earnings (as
defined by the Board in each Offering) during the period that begins on the Offering Date (or such later date as the Board determines
for a particular Offering) and ends on the date stated in the Offering, which date will be no later than the end of the Offering.
(b) The
Board will establish one or more Purchase Dates during an Offering on which Purchase Rights granted for that Offering will be exercised
and shares of Common Stock will be purchased in accordance with such Offering.
(c) In
connection with each Offering made under the Plan, the Board may specify (i) a maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may
be purchased by any Participant on any Purchase Date during such Offering, (ii) a maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that
may be purchased by all Participants pursuant to such Offering and/or (iii) a maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that
may be purchased by all Participants on any Purchase Date under the Offering. If the aggregate purchase of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of Purchase Rights granted under the Offering would exceed any such maximum aggregate number, then, in the absence of any
Board action otherwise, a pro rata (based on each Participant’s accumulated Contributions) allocation of the shares of Common Stock
(rounded down to the nearest whole share) available will be made in as nearly a uniform manner as will be practicable and equitable.
(d) The
purchase price of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to Purchase Rights will be no less than the lesser of:
(i) an
amount equal to 85% of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Offering Date; or
(ii) an
amount equal to 85% of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the applicable Purchase Date.
Ex H-6
7. Participation;
Withdrawal; Termination.
(a) An
Eligible Employee may elect to participate in an Offering and authorize payroll deductions as the means of making Contributions by completing
and delivering to the Company or a Company Designee, within the time specified in the Offering, an enrollment form provided by the Company
or Company Designee. The enrollment form will specify the amount of Contributions not to exceed the maximum amount specified by the Board.
Each Participant’s Contributions will be credited to a bookkeeping account for such Participant under the Plan and will be deposited
with the general funds of the Company except where Applicable Law requires that Contributions be deposited with a third party. If permitted
in the Offering, a Participant may begin such Contributions with the first payroll occurring on or after the Offering Date (or, in the
case of a payroll date that occurs after the end of the prior Offering but before the Offering Date of the next new Offering, Contributions
from such payroll will be included in the new Offering). If permitted in the Offering, a Participant may thereafter reduce (including
to zero) or increase his or her Contributions. If required under Applicable Law or if specifically provided in the Offering and to the
extent permitted by Section 423 of the Code with respect to the 423 Component, in addition to or instead of making Contributions by payroll
deductions, a Participant may make Contributions through the payment by cash, check or wire transfer prior to a Purchase Date.
(b) During
an Offering, a Participant may cease making Contributions and withdraw from the Offering by delivering to the Company or a Company Designee
a withdrawal form provided by the Company. The Company may impose a deadline before a Purchase Date for withdrawing. Upon such withdrawal,
such Participant’s Purchase Right in that Offering will immediately terminate and the Company will distribute as soon as practicable
to such Participant all of his or her accumulated but unused Contributions and such Participant’s Purchase Right in that Offering
shall thereupon terminate. A Participant’s withdrawal from that Offering will have no effect upon his or her eligibility to participate
in any other Offerings under the Plan, but such Participant will be required to deliver a new enrollment form to participate in subsequent
Offerings.
(c) Unless
otherwise required by Applicable Law, Purchase Rights granted pursuant to any Offering under the Plan will terminate immediately if the
Participant either (i) is no longer an Employee for any reason or for no reason (subject to any post-employment participation period required
by Applicable Law) or (ii) is otherwise no longer eligible to participate. The Company will distribute as soon as practicable to such
individual all of his or her accumulated but unused Contributions.
(d) Unless
otherwise determined by the Board, a Participant whose employment transfers or whose employment terminates with an immediate rehire (with
no break in service) by or between the Company and a Designated Company or between Designated Companies will not be treated as having
terminated employment for purposes of participating in the Plan or an Offering; however, if a Participant transfers from an Offering under
the 423 Component to an Offering under the Non-423 Component, the exercise of the Participant’s Purchase Right will be qualified
under the 423 Component only to the extent such exercise complies with Section 423 of the Code. If a Participant transfers from an Offering
under the Non-423 Component to an Offering under the 423 Component, the exercise of the Purchase Right will remain non-qualified under
the Non-423 Component. The Board may establish different and additional rules governing transfers between separate Offerings within the
423 Component and between Offerings under the 423 Component and Offerings under the Non-423 Component.
(e) During
a Participant’s lifetime, Purchase Rights will be exercisable only by such Participant. Purchase Rights are not transferable by
a Participant, except by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or, if permitted by the Company, by a beneficiary designation
as described in Section 10.
Ex H-7
(f) Unless
otherwise specified in the Offering or required by Applicable Law, the Company will have no obligation to pay interest on Contributions.
8. Exercise
of Purchase Rights.
(a) On
each Purchase Date, each Participant’s accumulated Contributions will be applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock, up to
the maximum number of shares of Common Stock permitted by the Plan and the applicable Offering, at the purchase price specified in the
Offering. No fractional shares will be issued unless specifically provided for in the Offering.
(b) Unless
otherwise provided in the Offering, if any amount of accumulated Contributions remains in a Participant’s account after the purchase
of shares of Common Stock and such remaining amount is less than the amount required to purchase one share of Common Stock on the final
Purchase Date of an Offering, then such remaining amount will be held in such Participant’s account for the purchase of shares of
Common Stock under the next Offering under the Plan, unless such Participant withdraws from or is not eligible to participate in such
next Offering, in which case such amount will be distributed to such Participant after the final Purchase Date without interest (unless
the payment of interest is otherwise required by Applicable Law). If the amount of Contributions remaining in a Participant’s account
after the purchase of shares of Common Stock is at least equal to the amount required to purchase one (1) whole share of Common Stock
on the final Purchase Date of an Offering, then such remaining amount will be distributed in full to such Participant after the final
Purchase Date of such Offering without interest (unless the payment of interest is otherwise required by Applicable Law).
(c) No
Purchase Rights may be exercised to any extent unless the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such exercise under the Plan are covered
by an effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act and the Plan is in material compliance with all applicable U.S.
federal and state, foreign and other securities, exchange control and other laws applicable to the Plan. If on a Purchase Date the shares
of Common Stock are not so registered or the Plan is not in such compliance, no Purchase Rights will be exercised on such Purchase Date,
and, subject to Section 423 of the Code with respect to the 423 Component, the Purchase Date will be delayed until the shares of Common
Stock are subject to such an effective registration statement and the Plan is in material compliance, except that the Purchase Date will
in no event be more than 27 months from the Offering Date. If, on the Purchase Date, as delayed to the maximum extent permissible, the
shares of Common Stock are not registered and the Plan is not in material compliance with all Applicable Laws, as determined by the Company
in its sole discretion, no Purchase Rights will be exercised and all accumulated but unused Contributions will be distributed to the Participants
without interest (unless the payment of interest is otherwise required by Applicable Law).
9. Covenants
of the Company.
The Company will seek to obtain
from each U.S. federal or state, foreign or other regulatory commission, agency or other Governmental Body having jurisdiction over the
Plan such authority as may be required to grant Purchase Rights and issue and sell shares of Common Stock thereunder unless the Company
determines, in its sole discretion, that doing so is not practical or would cause the Company to incur costs that are unreasonable. If,
after commercially reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain the authority that counsel for the Company deems necessary for
the grant of Purchase Rights or the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, and at a commercially reasonable cost, the
Company will be relieved from any liability for failure to grant Purchase Rights and/or to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of
such Purchase Rights.
Ex H-8
10. Designation
of Beneficiary.
(a) The
Company may, but is not obligated to, permit a Participant to submit a form designating a beneficiary who will receive any shares of Common
Stock and/or Contributions from the Participant’s account under the Plan if the Participant dies before such shares and/or Contributions
are delivered to the Participant. The Company may, but is not obligated to, permit the Participant to change such designation of beneficiary.
Any such designation and/or change must be on a form approved by the Company.
(b) If
a Participant dies, and in the absence of a valid beneficiary designation, the Company will deliver any shares of Common Stock and/or
Contributions to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant. If no executor or administrator has been appointed (to
the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its sole discretion, may deliver such shares of Common Stock and/or Contributions, without
interest (unless the payment of interest is otherwise required by Applicable Law), to the Participant’s spouse, dependents or relatives,
or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate.
11. Adjustments
upon Changes in Common Stock; Corporate Transactions.
(a) In
the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Board will appropriately and proportionately adjust: (i) the class(es) and maximum number
of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a), (ii) the class(es) and maximum number of securities by which the share reserve
is to increase automatically each year pursuant to Section 3(a), (iii) the class(es) and number of securities subject to, and the purchase
price applicable to outstanding Offerings and Purchase Rights, and (iv) the class(es) and number of securities that are the subject of
the purchase limits under each ongoing Offering. The Board will make these adjustments, and its determination will be final, binding and
conclusive.
(b) In
the event of a Corporate Transaction, then: (i) any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s
parent company) may assume or continue outstanding Purchase Rights or may substitute similar rights (including a right to acquire the
same consideration paid to the stockholders in the Corporate Transaction) for outstanding Purchase Rights, or (ii) if any surviving or
acquiring corporation (or its parent company) does not assume or continue such Purchase Rights or does not substitute similar rights for
such Purchase Rights, then the Participants’ accumulated Contributions will be used to purchase shares of Common Stock (rounded
down to the nearest whole share) within ten business days (or such other period specified by the Board) prior to the Corporate Transaction
under the outstanding Purchase Rights, and the Purchase Rights will terminate immediately after such purchase.
12. Amendment,
Termination or Suspension of the Plan.
(a) The
Board may amend the Plan at any time in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable. However, except as provided in Section 11(a)
relating to Capitalization Adjustments, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment of the Plan for which stockholder approval
is required by Applicable Law.
(b) The
Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Purchase Rights may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after
it is terminated.
Ex H-9
(c) Any
benefits, privileges, entitlements and obligations under any outstanding Purchase Rights granted before an amendment, suspension or termination
of the Plan will not be materially impaired by any such amendment, suspension or termination except (i) with the consent of the person
to whom such Purchase Rights were granted, (ii) as necessary to facilitate compliance with any laws, listing requirements, or governmental
regulations (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 423 of the Code and the regulations and other interpretive guidance
issued thereunder relating to Employee Stock Purchase Plans) including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that
may be issued or amended after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, or (iii) as necessary to obtain or maintain favorable tax, listing,
or regulatory treatment. To be clear, the Board may amend outstanding Purchase Rights without a Participant’s consent if such amendment
is necessary to ensure that the Purchase Right and/or the Plan complies with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code with respect
to the 423 Component or with respect to other Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Offering Document to the contrary,
the Board will be entitled to: (i) establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars;
(ii) permit Contributions in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for mistakes in the Company’s processing
of properly completed Contribution elections; (iii) establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting
procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld
from the Participant’s Contributions; (iv) amend any outstanding Purchase Rights or clarify any ambiguities regarding the terms
of any Offering to enable the Purchase Rights to qualify under and/or comply with Section 423 of the Code with respect to the 423 Component;
and (v) establish other limitations or procedures as the Board determines in its sole discretion advisable that are consistent with the
Plan. The actions of the Board pursuant to this paragraph will not be considered to alter or impair any Purchase Rights granted under
an Offering as they are part of the initial terms of each Offering and the Purchase Rights granted under each Offering.
13. Tax
Qualification; Tax Withholding.
(a) Although
the Company may endeavor to (i) qualify a Purchase Right for special tax treatment under the laws of the United States or jurisdictions
outside of the United States or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment, the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows
any covenant to maintain special or to avoid unfavorable tax treatment, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan.
The Company will be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on Participants.
(b) Each Participant
will make arrangements, satisfactory to the Company and any applicable Related Corporation, to enable the Company or the Related Corporation
to fulfill any withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items. Without limitation to the foregoing, in the Company’s sole discretion
and subject to Applicable Law, such withholding obligation may be satisfied in whole or in part by (i) withholding from the Participant’s
salary or any other cash payment due to the Participant from the Company or a Related Corporation; (ii) withholding from the proceeds
of the sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, either through a voluntary sale or a mandatory sale arranged by the Company;
or (iii) any other method deemed acceptable by the Board. The Company shall not be required to issue any shares of Common Stock under
the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.
Ex H-10
(c) The
423 Component is exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted to so be exempt
from Section 409A of the Code. The Non-423 Component is intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code under the
short-term deferral exception and any ambiguities shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. In furtherance of
the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if the Committee determines that an option granted under
the Plan may be subject to Section 409A of the Code or that any provision in the Plan would cause an option under the Plan to be subject
to Section 409A, the Committee may amend the terms of the Plan and/or of an outstanding option granted under the Plan, or take such other
action the Committee determines is necessary or appropriate, in each case, without the Participant’s consent, to exempt any outstanding
option or future option that may be granted under the Plan from or to allow any such options to comply with Section 409A of the Code,
but only to the extent any such amendments or action by the Committee would not violate Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to a Participant or any other party if the option under the Plan that is intended to be
exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Committee with respect
thereto.
14. Effective
Date of Plan.
The Plan will become effective
immediately prior to and contingent upon the Effective Date. No Purchase Rights will be exercised unless and until the Plan has been approved
by the stockholders of the Company, which approval must be within 12 months before or after the date the Plan is adopted (or if required
under Section 12(a) above, materially amended) by the Board.
15. Miscellaneous
Provisions.
(a) Proceeds
from the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Purchase Rights will constitute general funds of the Company.
(b) A
Participant will not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, shares of Common Stock subject
to Purchase Rights unless and until the Participant’s shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of Purchase Rights are recorded
in the books of the Company (or its transfer agent).
(c) The
Plan and Offering do not constitute an employment contract. Nothing in the Plan or in the Offering will in any way alter the at will nature
of a Participant’s employment or amend a Participant’s employment contract, if applicable, or be deemed to create in any way
whatsoever any obligation on the part of any Participant to continue in the employ of the Company or a Related Corporation or an Affiliate,
or on the part of the Company, a Related Corporation or an Affiliate to continue the employment of a Participant.
(d) The
provisions of the Plan will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without resort to that state’s conflicts of laws rules.
(e) If
any particular provision of the Plan is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such provision will not affect the other provisions
of the Plan, but the Plan will be construed in all respects as if such invalid provision were omitted.
(f) If
any provision of the Plan does not comply with Applicable Law, such provision shall be construed in such a manner as to comply with Applicable
Law.

shall be referred to herein from time to time collectively as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms used but not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).
Whereas,
AMAN, the Company and certain other parties thereto entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof
(as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business Combination
Agreement”); and
Whereas,
the Business Combination Agreement contemplates that the Parties will enter into this Agreement concurrently with the entry into the Business
Combination Agreement by the parties thereto, pursuant to which, among other things, (a) the Class B Holder will vote in favor of approval
of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Domestication and the Merger) and (b) the
Class B Holder will agree to waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the Governing Documents of AMAN or any other anti-dilution
or similar protection with respect to all of the AMAN Class B Ordinary Shares related to the transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement.
Now,
Therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement
to Vote. (a) The Class B Holder hereby agrees to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of AMAN (whether annual or special
and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting), however called, and in any action by written resolution of the shareholders of
AMAN, all of its AMAN Class B Ordinary Shares (together with any other equity securities of AMAN that the Class B Holder holds of record
or beneficially including any Class A Ordinary Shares of AMAN that the Class B Holder holds of record or beneficially, as of the date
of this Agreement, or acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof, collectively, the “Subject AMAN Equity
Securities”). Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, at any meeting of the shareholders
of AMAN (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting), however called, and in any action by written
resolution of the shareholders of AMAN, at which any of the Transaction Proposals or any of the matters described in Section 1(b) below
are submitted for the consideration and/or vote of the shareholders of AMAN, the Class B Holder shall (i) appear at such meeting, in person
or by proxy, or otherwise cause all of the Subject AMAN Equity Securities to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing
a quorum and (ii) vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written resolution in respect of all of the Subject
AMAN Equity Securities, to vote in favor of each of the Transaction Proposals.
(b) In

respect to (i) any merger, scheme of arrangement, acquisition, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution,
winding up or similar transaction involving AMAN or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement and (ii) any other matter, action, transaction, agreement or proposal that is intended, or would reasonably be expected,
to (A) result in a breach of any of AMAN’s covenants, agreements or obligations under the Business Combination Agreement, (B) result
in any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in the Business Combination Agreement not being satisfied, or (C) prevent, impede, hinder,
interfere with, delay or adversely affect the consummation of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement (including any amendment to the Governing Documents of AMAN, other than as expressly contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement). The Class B Holder further agrees not to elect to redeem, tender or submit for redemption any of the Subject AMAN
Equity Securities in connection with the Domestication, any of the Transaction Proposals or otherwise prior to the Closing.
(c) For
the avoidance of doubt, in the event that (i) any equity securities of AMAN are issued to the Class B Holder after the date of this Agreement
pursuant to any share dividend, share split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of equity securities of, on or
affecting the Subject AMAN Equity Securities owned by the Class B Holder or otherwise, (ii) the Class B Holder purchases or otherwise
acquires beneficial ownership of any equity securities of AMAN after the date of this Agreement, or (iii) the Class B Holder acquires
the right to vote or share in the voting of any equity securities of AMAN after the date of this Agreement (such equity securities, collectively,
the “New Securities”), then such New Securities acquired or purchased by the Class B Holder shall be deemed
to constitute Subject AMAN Equity Securities and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted
Subject AMAN Equity Securities owned by the Class B Holder as of the date of this Agreement.
2. Waiver
of Anti-dilution Protection. The Class B Holder hereby (a) waives, subject to, and conditioned upon, the occurrence of the
Closing (for himself, herself or itself and for his, her or its, successors, heirs and assigns), to the fullest extent permitted by law
and the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of AMAN, and (b) agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights to adjustment
or other anti-dilution protections with respect to the rate that the AMAN Class B Ordinary Shares held by him, her or it convert into
AMAN Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.
3. Transfer
of Shares.
(a) The
Class B Holder hereby agrees that he, she or it shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation
of law), place a lien on, pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of his, her or its Subject AMAN Equity Securities or otherwise
agree to do any of the foregoing (each, a “Transfer”), (ii) deposit any of his, her or its Subject AMAN Equity
Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect to
any of his, her or its Subject AMAN Equity Securities that conflicts with any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement,
(iii) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale,
assignment, transfer (including by operation of law) or other disposition of any of his, her or its Subject AMAN Equity Securities, (iv)
engage in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to, or which would (either alone or in connection with one or more events,
developments or events (including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent)), lead to or result in a sale or disposition
of his, her or its Subject AMAN Equity Securities even if such Subject AMAN Equity Securities would be disposed of by a person other than
the Class B Holder or (v) take any action that would have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the performance of his, her
or its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Transfer (A) to AMAN or AMAN’s
officers or directors, any affiliates or family member of any of AMAN’s officers or directors, any members or partners of the Sponsor
or their respective affiliates, any affiliates of the Sponsor, or any employees of such affiliates; (B) in the case of an individual,
by gift to a member of one of such individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such individual’s
immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (C) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of
descent and distribution upon death of such individual; (D) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order;
(E) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; and (F)
by virtue of the Sponsor’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of the Sponsor; provided, that any recipient
or transferee of any Transfer of the type set forth in clauses (A) through (F) must enter into a written agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Company agreeing to be bound by this Agreement prior to the occurrence of such Transfer.
2
(b) In
furtherance of the foregoing, AMAN hereby agrees to (i) place revocable stop transfer instructions to AMAN’s transfer agent on all
Subject AMAN Equity Securities subject to Section 3(a), including those which may be covered by a registration statement against the Transfer
of any Subject AMAN Equity Securities except in compliance with Section 3(a); for the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of AMAN under
this Section 3(b) shall be deemed to be satisfied by the existence of any similar stop transfer instructions currently existing on the
Subject AMAN Equity Securities.
4. Other
Covenants. The Class B Holder hereby agrees to be bound by and subject to (i) Sections 5.3(a) (Confidentiality and Access to
Information) and 5.4(a) Public Announcements of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the
parties to the Business Combination Agreement, as if the Class B Holder is directly a party thereto, and (ii) Section 5.6(b) (Exclusive
Dealing) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to AMAN as if the Class B Holder is directly
party thereto.
5. Termination

of the Closing (and not before), Section 7 of that certain Letter Agreement, dated May 18, 2026, by and among AMAN, the Sponsor and certain
other parties thereto (the “Letter Agreement”), shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

of (a) the Effective Time; and (b) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms. Upon termination

under, or with respect to, this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6(b) shall not affect any Liability on the part of any Party for a Willful Breach of any covenant
or agreement set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination or Fraud, (ii) Sections 2, 5 and 10 shall each survive the termination

Recourse. Except for claims pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement or any other Ancillary Document by any party(ies)
thereto against any other party(ies) thereto, each Party agrees that (a) this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any action for
breach of this Agreement may only be made against, the Parties, and no claims of any nature whatsoever (whether in tort, contract or otherwise)
arising under or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation hereof or its subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby shall
be asserted against any Company Non-Party Affiliate or any AMAN Non-Party Affiliate (other than the Class B Holder, on the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth herein), and (b) none of the Company Non-Party Affiliates or the AMAN Non-Party Affiliates (other than the

Exhibit 10.2
Execution Version
FORM OF SUBSCRIPTION
AGREEMENT
This Subscription
Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is entered into on October 25, 2026 by and between Amanat
Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and the subscriber party set
forth on the signature page hereto (the “Subscriber”), acting severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber
(as defined below).
Recitals
Whereas,
substantially concurrently with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is entering into a business combination agreement
(the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Corxel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Corxel”),
and Cairo Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”),
pursuant to which (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein), Merger Sub will merge with and into Corxel, with Corxel
as the surviving company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, on
the terms and subject to the conditions therein (the “Merger”);
Prior to the closing of the
Merger (and as more fully described in the Business Combination Agreement), the Company will domesticate as a Delaware corporation in
accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2020
Revision) (the “Domestication”, and together with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the
Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions”), and in connection therewith the Company shall change its
name to a name reasonably determined by Corxel;
Whereas, in connection
with the Transactions, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Company and the Company desires to issue and sell to
Subscriber in consideration of the payment thereto, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Subscription Agreement,
following the Domestication and immediately prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Transactions, (A) that
number of shares (the “Subscribed Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(the “Common Stock”), obtained by dividing the Subscriber’s aggregate purchase price of $[●] (the
“Purchase Price”) by the Redemption Price (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association, as in effect on the date hereof, without amendment or other modification hereafter) (the “Per
Share Price”), and/or (B) in lieu of Subscribed Shares, and pursuant to Section 2 hereof, pre-funded warrants to purchase
shares of Common Stock substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”),
each to purchase one share of Common Stock (collectively, the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), with an exercise
price equal to $0.0001 per Pre-Funded Warrant (the “Exercise Price”), at a purchase price per Pre-Funded Warrant
equal to the Purchase Price less the Exercise Price as set forth opposite such Subscriber’s name on the signature page hereto. The
aggregate purchase price of the Subscribed Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants shall be as set forth opposite such on Subscriber’s
name on the signature page hereto next to the heading “Purchase Price”;
Whereas,
the Company and Subscriber are executing and delivering this Subscription Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration
afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); and
Whereas, concurrently
with the execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Company is entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription
Agreements”) substantially similar to this Subscription Agreement with certain other investors (the “Other Subscribers”)
pursuant to which each such Other Subscriber has agreed to purchase shares of Common Stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants at the Closing (as
defined below) at the same Per Share Price or Pre-Funded Warrant Purchase Price, as applicable, and otherwise on the same economic terms
as the Subscriber.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions herein contained, and intending
to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Agreement
1.
Subscription; No Fractional Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as defined below), Subscriber,
severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber, hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby
agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment
of the Purchase Price, (i) the Subscribed Shares
and/or (ii) if applicable pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Pre-Funded Warrants (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”).
If Subscriber elects to receive Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu of all or a portion of the Subscribed Shares (which election shall be indicated
on Subscriber’s signature page hereto), the aggregate purchase price payable by Subscriber shall remain unchanged and (a) the number
of Subscribed Shares shall be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants issued to Subscriber
and (b) Subscriber shall be issued Pre-Funded Warrants exercisable for such number of shares of Common Stock as is specified on Subscriber’s
signature page hereto. Subscriber and the Company acknowledge that, as a result of the Domestication, the Subscribed Shares will be shares
of Common Stock (and the Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable for shares of Common Stock) of the Company as a Delaware corporation
and will not be ordinary shares of the Company as a Cayman Islands exempted company. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued
pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. The number
of Subscribed Shares (and, if applicable, shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants) issued
at the Closing shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number
of shares of Common Stock.
2.
Closing.
(a)
The consummation of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the closing
date of the Transactions (the “Closing Date”), following the Domestication and immediately prior to or substantially
concurrently with the consummation of the Transactions and shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set
forth in this Section 2. If Subscriber has elected to receive Pre-Funded Warrants in lieu of all or a portion of the Subscribed Shares,
references in this Section 2 to the delivery and issuance of Subscribed Shares shall be construed to include (as applicable) the delivery
and issuance of Pre-Funded Warrants and, upon exercise thereof, Pre-Funded Warrant Shares.
(b)
At least twelve (12) Business Days (as defined below) before the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver or cause
to be delivered written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) specifying (i) the anticipated Closing Date,
(ii) the wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price to an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established
by the Company with a third party escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) to be identified in the Closing Notice,
(iii) the expected number of Subscribed Shares and (iv) if applicable, the expected number of Pre-Funded Warrants to be issued to Subscriber.
No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date as set forth in the Closing Notice, Subscriber shall deliver
the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares (and, if applicable, the Pre-Funded Warrants) by wire transfer of United States dollars in
immediately available funds to the Escrow Account and deliver to the Company such information as is reasonably requested in the Closing
Notice in order for the Company to issue the Subscribed Shares (and, if applicable, the Pre-Funded Warrants) to Subscriber, including,
without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name the Subscribed Shares (and, if applicable, the Pre-Funded Warrants) are
to be issued and a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8 (and any required attachments
thereto).The Purchase Price shall be held by the Escrow Agent in a segregated account for the benefit of Subscriber until released in
accordance with this Subscription Agreement and shall not be commingled with the Company’s funds. The Company shall cause the escrow arrangements
to require the Escrow Agent to return the Purchase Price directly to Subscriber in accordance with Sections 2(b) and 6, without any further
consent or instruction from the Company. Upon the Closing, and only after the Escrow Agent has received written confirmation from the
Company’s transfer agent that the Subscribed Shares have been issued to Subscriber (or its designated nominee) in book-entry form, the
Company shall provide instructions to the Escrow Agent to release the funds in the Escrow Account to the Company, and no such funds shall
be released prior to receipt of such confirmation. The escrow arrangement set out in this Section 2(b) shall be memorialized in an escrow
agreement to be entered into by and among the Company, the Subscriber and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”),
provided that (i) the Escrow Agreement shall be entered into as soon as practicable and in any event earlier than the Closing and (ii)
all fees, costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent shall be borne solely by the Company. The Company shall deliver to Subscriber (i) at
the Closing, (A) the Subscribed Shares, if any, in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those
arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with
its delivery instructions), and (B) if applicable, Pre-Funded Warrants (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) exercisable
for the number of shares of Common Stock as set forth on Subscriber’s signature page hereto, and (ii) as promptly as practicable
after the Closing, evidence from the Company’s transfer agent of the issuance to Subscriber of the Subscribed Shares (in book entry
form), if any, on and as of the Closing Date. As promptly as practicable after the Closing, the Company shall provide Subscriber updated
book-entry statements from the Company’s transfer agent reflecting the change in name of the Company to occur in connection with
the Closing. In the event that the consummation of the Transactions does not occur within two (2) Business Days after the anticipated
Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and Subscriber, the Company shall promptly
(but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice) instruct the Escrow
Agent to return the Purchase Price to Subscriber in full, without deduction, withholding or offset, by wire transfer in immediately available
funds to the account specified by Subscriber (or, if any portion of the Purchase Price was paid directly to the Company, the Company shall
return such portion directly to Subscriber), and any book entries or Pre-Funded Warrants delivered shall be deemed cancelled, provided
that any such cancellation shall be effected only in connection with the return of the Purchase Price to Subscriber. Notwithstanding such
return or cancellation (x) a failure to close on the anticipated Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of
the conditions to Closing set forth herein, and (y) unless and until this Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section
6 herein, Subscriber shall remain obligated (A) to redeliver funds to the Escrow Account or to the Company, as applicable, in accordance
with this Section 2 following the Company’s delivery to Subscriber of a new Closing Notice; provided, however, that following the
initial return of the Purchase Price, Subscriber shall not be required to deliver the Purchase Price to the Escrow Account or the Company
in advance of the Closing more than once without Subscriber’s prior written consent, and thereafter Subscriber shall only be required
to fund the Purchase Price substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Transactions and against the simultaneous issuance
and delivery of the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber, and (B) to consummate the Closing immediately prior to or substantially concurrently
with the consummation of the Transactions. For the purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other
than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks are required or authorized to close in the State of New York or the
Cayman Islands.

of any information provided by the Company, the Escrow Agent or any other person in connection with the Closing mechanics set forth in
this Section 2.

The Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction on the Closing Date, or written waiver by each of the parties hereto, of each
of the following conditions:
(i) the Common Stock

(iii) no governmental
authority of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation

or the Closing illegal or otherwise restraining, enjoining, or prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions or the Closing, and no
such governmental authority shall have instituted or threatened in writing a proceeding seeking to impose any such restraint or prohibition.
(e)
The obligation of the Company to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or written waiver by the Company

and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) at and as of the Closing Date, except to the extent that any such representation
and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all
material respects (other than representations or warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Subscriber Material Adverse Effect,
which representations or warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, in each case without giving effect
to the consummation of the Transactions; and
(ii)
Subscriber shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions
required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing, except where the

materially impair the ability of the Company to consummate the Closing.
3
(f)
The obligation of Subscriber to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or written waiver by Subscriber
of the additional conditions that, on the Closing Date:
(i) all representations
and warranties of the Company contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than

of the Transactions;
(ii)
no Other Subscription Agreement (or other agreements or understandings (including side letters) entered into in connection
therewith or in connection with the sale of the Subscribed Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants) shall contain, or have been amended, modified
or waived to provide, any terms or benefits more favorable to any Other Subscriber than those provided to Subscriber under this Subscription
Agreement, unless Subscriber shall have been offered in writing substantially the same terms or benefits and, if accepted by Subscriber,
such terms or benefits shall have been incorporated into this Subscription Agreement prior to the Closing (other than terms particular
to the legal or regulatory requirements of such Other Subscriber or its affiliates or related persons);
(iii) the Business
Combination Agreement (as in effect on the date of this Subscription Agreement) shall not have been amended, modified or waived in a
manner that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that Subscriber (in its capacity as
a subscriber for the Subscribed Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants pursuant to this Subscription Agreement) would reasonably expect to receive
under this Subscription Agreement, without the prior written consent of Subscriber;
(iv) all consents,
waivers, authorizations or orders of, any notice required to be made to, and any filing or registration with, any court or other federal,
state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization (including Nasdaq and any stockholder approval required by
the rules and regulations of Nasdaq) or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription
Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Subscribed Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any) required to be made
in connection with the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, shall have been obtained or made,
except where the failure to so obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impair the consummation of the
Closing, including the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, to the Subscriber;
(v)
the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions
required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing, except where the

materially impact the ability of the Subscriber to consummate the Closing; and
(vi)
there has not occurred any Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect (each as defined in the Business Combination
Agreement) since the date of this Subscription Agreement that is continuing.
4
(g)
Prior to or at the Closing, Subscriber shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company all such other information as
is reasonably requested and necessary in order for the Company to issue the Subscribed Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, to
Subscriber.
(h)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, if, following the filing or issuance of
the Disclosure Document (as defined below) pursuant to Section 10(w) hereof, Subscriber acquires ownership of the Company’s Class
A ordinary shares (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with
third parties (along with any related rights to redeem or convert such Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with any redemption conducted
by the Company in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association in conjunction with
the Closing (the “Redemption”)) prior to the extraordinary general meeting to approve the Transactions and Subscriber
does not redeem or convert such Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Redemption (including revoking or reversing any previously
submitted redemption demand or conversion elections made with respect to such Class A Ordinary Shares) (any such Class A Ordinary Shares,
“Non-Redeemed Shares”), and Subscriber notifies the Company in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior
to the anticipated Closing Date that it wishes to apply a specified number of such Non-Redeemed Shares to reduce the number of Subscribed
Shares it is required to purchase hereunder (such number of Non-Redeemed Shares, the “Reduction Shares”), the
number of Subscribed Shares for which Subscriber is obligated and has the right to purchase under this Subscription Agreement will be
reduced by the number of Reduction Shares, and the portion of the Purchase Price payable for the Subscribed Shares shall accordingly be
reduced by an amount equal to the product of the number of Reduction Shares and the Redemption Price; for clarity, any Pre-Funded Warrants
elected by Subscriber shall remain subject to the Purchase Price applicable to such Pre-Funded Warrants; provided, that (i) promptly upon
the Company’s request, Subscriber shall provide the Company with documentary evidence reasonably requested by the Company to evidence
such Reduction Shares, (ii) Subscriber agrees that with respect to any such Reduction Shares, it will (A) not sell or otherwise transfer
such Reduction Shares prior to the consummation of the Transactions and (B) to the extent it has the right to have any of its Reduction
Shares redeemed for cash in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, not exercise any such redemption rights and (iii) the
Company may reject any notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2(h) solely to the extent that the application of the Reduction Shares
would cause a failure of any minimum cash or minimum proceeds condition set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, in which case
the Company shall so notify Subscriber in writing within two (2) Business Days of receipt of Subscriber’s notice, specifying the basis
for such rejection, and Subscriber shall remain obligated to purchase the number of Subscribed Shares necessary to satisfy such condition
to the extent attributable to such Subscriber’s commitment hereunder; provided, further, that the Company shall exercise its discretion
under this clause (iii) in a manner that does not favor or disfavor any Subscriber and, if the Company determines that not all Reduction
Shares requested in timely and otherwise valid notices under this Section 2(h) may be applied without causing such a failure, the number
of Reduction Shares permitted to be applied by each such Subscriber shall be reduced pro rata in proportion to the number of Reduction
Shares requested by that Subscriber relative to the total number of Reduction Shares requested in all such notices.
3.
Company Representations and Warranties. The Company
represents and warrants to Subscriber and the Placement Agents that:
(a)
The Company (i) is duly incorporated, validly existing as a company and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction
of incorporation, (ii) has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties, to carry on its business as it
is now being conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, the Other Subscription
Agreements, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), and
(iii) is duly licensed or qualified to conduct its business and, if applicable, is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction
(other than its jurisdiction of incorporation) in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties or assets requires
such license or qualification, except, with respect to the foregoing clause (iii), where the failure to be in good standing would not
reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, a “Company Material
Adverse Effect” means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries,
taken together as a whole (on a consolidated basis), that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on (i) the business, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company, (ii) the Company’s ability to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants, or
(iii) the Company’s ability to consummate the Transactions.
5
(b)
As of the Closing Date, (i) the Subscribed Shares, if any, and (ii) the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, will be duly authorized
and, when issued and delivered to Subscriber against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, will
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (in the case of the Subscribed Shares) or duly and validly authorized and binding obligations
of the Company (in the case of the Pre-Funded Warrants), in each case free and clear of all liens or other restrictions (other than those
arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable federal and state securities laws) and will not have been issued in violation
of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under the Company’s organizational documents (as adopted on or prior to
the Closing Date) or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. The Pre-Funded Warrant Shares have been duly and validly authorized
and reserved for issuance and, upon issuance pursuant to the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants against full payment therefor in accordance
with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will be issued free and
clear of all liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable federal and state securities
laws), and the holder of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. The issuance
of the Pre-Funded Warrants does not, and the exercise in full of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the issuance and delivery of the Pre-Funded
Warrant Shares thereupon will not, (a) obligate the Company to offer to issue, or issue, shares of Common Stock or other securities to
any person (other than Subscriber) pursuant to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, rights of participation or similar rights
or (b) result in any adjustment (automatic, at the election of any person or otherwise) of the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset
price under, or any other anti-dilution adjustment pursuant to, any outstanding securities of the Company.
(c)
Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and, assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery of the same by the applicable counterparties, each Transaction Document shall constitute the valid and legally
binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.
(d)
The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Subscription
Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares, if any, the issuance and sale of the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, the issuance
and delivery of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares upon exercise in full of the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, and the compliance by the Company
with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
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 pursuant
to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the
Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company is subject, (ii) the organizational
documents of the Company, or (iii) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber in Section 4, 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 that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material
Adverse Effect or materially affect the validity or enforceability of the Subscribed Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrant
Shares, or the ability or legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects with this Subscription Agreement and the Pre-Funded
Warrants (if any).
6
(e)
Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber in Section 4, 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 (including Nasdaq) or other person in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance by the Company of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Subscribed
Shares or the Pre-Funded Warrants), other than (i) filings required by applicable federal and state securities laws, (ii) the filing of
the Registration Statement (as defined below) with the Commission pursuant to Section 5 below, (iii) those required by Nasdaq, including
with respect to obtaining shareholder approval, (iv) those required to consummate the Transactions as provided under the Business Combination
Agreement, (v) the filing of notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, if applicable, in connection
with the Transactions, and (vi) those of which the failure to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(f) Except for such
matters as have not had or would not be reasonably expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, there is no (i) suit, action,
claim or other proceeding or arbitration before a governmental authority or arbitrator pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened in writing against the Company or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental authority or arbitrator
outstanding against the Company.
(g)
Assuming the accuracy of Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of this Subscription Agreement,
no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Subscribed Shares or the Pre-Funded Warrants by the
Company to Subscriber, and, assuming the continued accuracy of such representations and warranties at the time of exercise, no registration
under the Securities Act is required for the issuance of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.
(h)
Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or general
advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with any offer or sale of the Subscribed Shares
or Pre-Funded Warrants. The Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under,
or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Neither the Company nor any person acting on its
behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past six months, made any offer or sale of any security or solicitation of
any offer to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Section
4(a)(2) under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of the Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants
as contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the offering of the Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants pursuant to this Subscription Agreement
to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act. Neither the Company nor any person acting on
its behalf (other than the Placement Agents and any persons acting on their behalf in such capacity, as to whom the Company makes no representation)
has offered or sold or will offer or sell any securities, or has taken or will take any other action, which would reasonably be expected
to subject the offer, issuance or sale of the Subscribed Shares or the Pre-Funded Warrants, as contemplated hereby, to the registration
provisions of the Securities Act.
(i) Except for Leerink
Partners LLC, Evercore Group L.L.C., Guggenheim Securities, LLC, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., LifeSci Capital LLC, and any additional
placement agents engaged by the Company or Corxel (collectively, the “Placement Agents”), no broker or finder is entitled
to any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission solely in connection with the sale of the Subscribed Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants
to Subscriber. The Company is solely responsible for the payment of any fees, costs, expenses and commissions of the Placement Agents.

by or otherwise disclosed under the Business Combination Agreement and the other agreements and arrangements referred to therein.

There are no securities issued by or to which the Company is a party containing anti-dilution or similar provisions that will
be triggered by the issuance of the Subscribed Shares or the Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements,
the issuance of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the issuance of the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, or securities
to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, in each case, that have not been or will not be validly waived on or prior

(m) The Company is in
compliance with all applicable laws and 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 or regulation, except where such non-compliance, default
or violation would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.
(n)
The Company and its affiliates have not entered into any side letter or similar agreement or understanding (written or oral)
with any Other Subscriber relating to or modifying such Other Subscriber’s Other Subscription Agreement, or otherwise entered into
in connection with the Transactions or such Other Subscriber’s purchase of securities pursuant thereto, that provides such Other
Subscriber with terms or benefits more favorable than those provided to Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement, other than terms
that are offered to all subscribers (in their capacities as subscribers for the shares of the Company or the pre-funded warrants issued
by the Company pursuant to such other Subscription Agreements). The Other Subscription Agreements reflect (i) the same Per Share Price

of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(p)
The issued and outstanding Cayman Class A Shares of the Company are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act,

threatened against the Company by Nasdaq or the Commission to prohibit or terminate the listing of the Cayman Class A Shares or, when

Exchange Act and listed for trading on Nasdaq, subject only to official notice thereof.

other party to the Transactions or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements of the Company expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement, provided that nothing herein shall limit
any claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation. Subscriber acknowledges that certain information provided to the Subscriber by
the Company on behalf of, and regarding, Corxel was based on projections prepared by Corxel, and such projections were prepared based
on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. Subscriber further

was prepared without the participation of the Placement Agents and that the Placement Agents do not assume responsibility for independent
verification of, or the accuracy or completeness of, such information or projections. Subscriber further acknowledges that no disclosure
or offering document has been prepared or reviewed by the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates in connection with the

agents, representatives or controlling persons has made any independent investigation with respect to the Company, Corxel, Merger Sub,
the Subscribed Shares or the Pre-Funded Warrants or the completeness or accuracy of any information provided to the Subscriber. Subscriber
acknowledges that it has not relied on the Placement Agents in connection with its determination as to the legality of its acquisition
of the Subscribed Shares or the Pre-Funded Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares (upon exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants) or as to the
other matters referred to herein. Subscriber agrees that none of the Placement Agents, nor any of their respective affiliates or any
of their or their respective affiliates’ control persons, officers, directors or employees, shall be liable to the Subscriber pursuant
to this Subscription Agreement for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with
the purchase of the Subscribed Shares, the purchase of the Pre-Funded Warrants or the receipt of Pre-Funded Warrant Shares upon exercise
of the Pre-Funded Warrants, except to the extent resulting from such person’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, as

financial, tax, and other economic considerations relevant to Subscriber’s investment in the Subscribed Shares or the Pre-Funded
Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares (upon exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants). Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s
professional advisor(s), if any, have had the opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as
Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect
to the Subscribed Shares or the Pre-Funded Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares (upon exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review the Company’s SEC Reports. Subscriber

risk management, advisory and banking relationships) and will pursue actions and take steps that it deems or they deem necessary or appropriate
to protect its or their interests arising therefrom. The Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s affiliates

Person (in connection with this Subscription Agreement). None of Subscriber’s officers, directors, managers, managing members, general
partners or any other person acting in a similar capacity on its behalf in connection with this Subscription Agreement is, a Sanctioned
Person (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing representation, no limited partner of any discretionary investment fund that
is Subscriber or a direct or indirect shareholder of Subscriber shall be deemed to own Subscriber solely by reason of its limited partnership
interest, so long as such limited partner has no right to direct or control, and does not in fact direct or control, the investment or
other business decisions of Subscriber or such fund; provided that the foregoing shall not apply, and such limited partner shall be deemed
to own Subscriber, to the extent such limited partner, together with any other Sanctioned Persons and their respective affiliates, holds,
directly or indirectly, a 50% or greater interest in Subscriber or such fund, or otherwise would cause Subscriber or such fund to be treated
as a Sanctioned Person or blocked person under applicable Sanctions. Subscriber is not a non-U.S. shell bank and does not provide banking
services to a non-U.S. shell bank. Subscriber represents that, if it is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C.

or target of comprehensive Sanctions, including, as of the date of this Subscription Agreement, Crimea, the so-called Donetsk People’s

for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company or Corxel (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1)
under the Exchange Act), other than a “group” consisting of Subscriber and any such affiliates and persons controlling Subscriber
and any such affiliates; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no “group” shall be deemed to exist for purposes of this
representation by virtue of any agreement or arrangement entered into in connection with the Transactions among Subscriber or any of its
affiliates, on the one hand, and Corxel or any direct or indirect parent entity or equityholder of Corxel, on the other hand, that is
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the agreements referenced therein.

Agreement, Subscriber has not entered into any short sales (as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act) with respect
to the securities of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle
whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge
of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of Subscriber’s assets, the representation set
forth in the first sentence of this subsection shall only apply with respect to the portion of the assets managed by the portfolio manager
that made the investment decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares or the Pre-Funded Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares (upon exercise
of Pre-Funded Warrants).

of the purchase and sale of Subscribed Shares or the Pre-Funded Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares (upon exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants)

Registration Rights.
(a)
The Company shall submit or file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement
registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Registrable
Securities”) and naming the Subscriber as a selling stockholder thereunder (the “Registration Statement”)
no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the Closing (such deadline the “Filing Deadline”), and the
Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after
the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission
notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the earlier of (A) the filing of the Registration
Statement and (B) the Filing Deadline, and (ii) the 7th Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing,
whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further
review (such deadline the “Effectiveness Deadline”), provided, that if the Filing Deadline or Effectiveness
Deadline falls on Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Filing Deadline or Effectiveness Deadline,
as the case may be, shall be extended to the next business day on which the Commission is open for business, provided, further, however,
that the Company’s obligations to include Subscriber’s Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent
upon Subscriber furnishing to the Company a completed questionnaire in customary form that contains the information required by Commission
rules for a Registration Statement regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition
of the Registrable Securities (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) (collectively, the “Subscriber
Information”) as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities,
and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary for a selling
stockholder in similar situations, provided that Subscriber shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up
or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Securities. Any
failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to cause such Registration Statement to become effective
by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file the Registration Statement or cause it
to become effective as set forth above in this Section 5. Upon notification by the Commission that any Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the Commission, and within two (2) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall file the final prospectus under Rule
424 of the Securities Act. Upon any transfer of Registrable Securities by Subscriber to a person to whom the rights under this Section
5 have been assigned in accordance with Section 10(g) (including any distribution in kind by Subscriber to its equity holders), the Company
shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof and such transferee’s Subscriber Information, file a prospectus
supplement naming such transferee as a selling stockholder under the Registration Statement.
(b)
The Company will provide a copy of such portions of the draft of the Registration Statement that include Subscriber Information
to Subscriber for review and comment at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Registration Statement, provided that,
the Company shall consider in good faith any comments on Subscriber information reasonably provided by Subscriber before filing and shall
not include any Subscriber Information that Subscriber has identified in writing as materially inaccurate and, for the avoidance of doubt,
in no event shall the Company be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection
with Subscriber’s review. With respect to the Subscriber Information, the Company shall request such information at least five (5)
Business Days prior to the anticipated initial filing date of the Registration Statement.
(c)
In no event shall the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by
the Commission; provided, that 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, it being understood that such withdrawal
shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to register for resale the Registrable Securities held by the Subscriber at a later date.
18
(d)
The Company agrees that, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming
part of a Registration Statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to, at its expense, cause such Registration
Statement to remain effective with respect to Subscriber, keep any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws
which the Company determines to obtain continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement
or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of (i) three years from
the issuance of the Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, (ii) the date on which all of the Registrable Securities
shall have been sold, or (iii) the first date on which the undersigned can sell all of its Registrable Securities (or shares received
in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 without limitation as to the manner of sale, the amount of such securities that may be sold and without
the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144; provided, that the Company
shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not
to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction
by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Company’s
board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in
the Registration Statement of material non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential
and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s
board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure
requirements (such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration
Statement on more than two (2) occasions, for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days or for more than ninety (90) total calendar
days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company (which notice shall not contain
any material non-public information regarding the Company and which notice shall not be subject to any duty of confidentiality) (A) of
the occurrence of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or (B) that, as a result of a Suspension
Event, the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made
(in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that it will promptly discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable
Securities under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144 or any other
applicable exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities Act) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or
amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and
receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume
such offers and sales (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Company and which notice shall
not be subject to any duty of confidentiality). If so directed by the Company, Subscriber will deliver to the Company or, in Subscriber’s
sole discretion, destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in Subscriber’s possession; provided,
however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (i)
to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory
or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically
on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of the Subscriber
in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Subscriber has entered into a contract for sale, prior
to the Subscriber’s receipt of the notice of a Suspension Event and for which the Subscriber has not yet settled.
(e)
If the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the securities proposed to be registered under the Registration
Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by Subscriber,
or any other shares of Common Stock by any Other Subscribers or shares of Common Stock by any other selling stockholder named in the Registration
Statement, the Company will promptly notify Subscriber of such event, and such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number
of shares of Common Stock which is equal to the maximum number of Registrable Securities as is permitted by the Commission. In such event,
the number of shares of Common Stock to be registered for Subscriber, such Other Subscriber or other selling stockholder named in the
Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders (or as otherwise directed by the Commission) and
as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Registrable Securities under Rule 415 under the Securities Act,
the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Registration Statement or file with the Commission and cause to be
declared effective, as promptly as allowed by the Commission, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Registrable
Securities (as defined below) that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended and to cause such amendment
or Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. Any such amended or new registration statement(s) shall be deemed
to be a “Registration Statement” and all provisions of Section 5 shall apply with respect thereto.
19
(f) In the case of a
registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber
as to the status of such registration. The Company shall advise Subscriber as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five
(5) Business Days following the applicable event or on such earlier date as indicated:
(i) when a 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;
(ii)
of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein
or for additional information with respect to the Subscriber;
(iii) 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 within two (2) Business Days of the Company’s notice of such event;
(iv) within two (2)
Business Days of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable
Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(v)
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 Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, non-public information
regarding the Company other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in clauses (i)
through (v) above may constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company.
(g)
The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness
of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable.
(h)
Except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming
part of a Registration Statement as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to prepare, as soon as reasonably practicable, 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 Registrable Securities 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.
(i) The Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares to be listed on each securities
exchange or market, if any, on which the Common Stock has been listed.
20
(j) The Company shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares, Pre-Funded
Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares required hereby and to provide all customary and reasonable cooperation necessary to enable Subscriber
to resell the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144, including timely providing customary transfer
agent instructions and any reasonably required legal opinions at the Company’s expense when the applicable resale requirements
have been satisfied.
(k)
For purposes of this Section 5, “Subscribed Shares” shall be deemed to include, as of any date of
determination, the Subscribed Shares and any equity security issued or issuable with respect to such Subscribed Shares by way of share
split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, “Pre-Funded Warrants”
shall be deemed to include, as of any date of determination, the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and any equity security issued or issuable
with respect to such Pre-Funded Warrant Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement
or similar event, “Subscriber” shall mean the Subscriber or any affiliate of the Subscriber or other person
to whom the rights under this Section 5 shall have been assigned, and “Registrable Securities” shall mean the
Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants (each as expanded by the first sentence of this Section 5(k)) held by Subscriber or any permitted
assignee of the rights under this Section 5. As to any particular Registrable Securities, such securities shall cease to be Registrable
Securities when (x) a Registration Statement with respect to the sale of such securities shall have become effective under the Securities
Act and such securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with such Registration Statement, (y) such securities shall have been
Transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or (z) such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding.
6.
Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate
and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further
liability on the part of any party in respect thereof (in each case, except for those provisions expressly contemplated to survive such
termination), upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with
its terms; (b) the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (c) if, on the Closing Date
of the Transactions, any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2 of this Subscription Agreement have not been satisfied as
of the time required hereunder to be so satisfied or waived by the party entitled to grant such waiver and, as a result thereof, the transactions
contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be or are not consummated at the Closing; or (d) if the Closing has not occurred
by the Termination Date (as so defined in the Business Combination Agreement as of the date hereof) (the “Outside Closing
Date”); provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to
the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages
arising from such breach. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the provisions of Section 7, Section
10(e), Section 10(k), Section 10(m), Section 10(n), Section 10(t), and Section 10(u), and this Section 6, shall survive any termination
of this Subscription Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the
Business Combination Agreement promptly after the termination thereof. Upon the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance
with this Section 6, any monies paid by Subscriber to the Company or the Escrow Agent in connection herewith shall be promptly (and in
any event within two (2) Business Days after such termination) returned to Subscriber in full, without deduction, withholding or offset,
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Subscriber, and the Company shall promptly take all actions
necessary to cause the Escrow Agent to effect such return.
21
7.
Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber hereby acknowledges
that, as described in the Company’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated May 20, 2026, the Company has established
a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”)
and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the
benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). For and in consideration
of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby (a) agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title,
interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account, arising
as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Subscription Agreement, and regardless of whether such claim arises
based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter
as the “Released Claims”), and (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust
Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in
this Section 7 shall (x) be deemed to limit any Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account, or any monies
held therein, by virtue of such Subscriber’s (i) record or beneficial ownership of Cayman Class A Shares acquired by means other
than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or (ii) redemption rights in connection with the Transactions with respect to any Cayman
Class A Shares owned by such Subscriber or limit Subscriber’s right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with the
Company Constitutional Documents in respect of the Cayman Class A Shares acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription
Agreement, (y) serve to limit or prohibit Subscriber’s right to pursue a claim against the Company for legal relief against assets
held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief or (z) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that Subscriber
may have in the future against the Company’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account.
8.
Indemnity.
(a)
To the extent Subscriber is named as a selling stockholder under any Registration Statement, the Company shall indemnify and
hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Subscriber, its directors, trustees, officers, partners, members, managers, stockholders,
affiliates, employees, advisers and agents, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act) and each affiliate of Subscriber (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, charges,
claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and
expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) that are caused by, based upon, arise out of
or relate to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in such Registration Statement, any prospectus included
in such Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or document incorporated therein
by reference, (ii) 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 a prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading, or (iii) any violation or
alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act, or any state securities laws or rule or regulation thereunder, in
connection with the performance of its obligations under Section 5 of this Subscription Agreement, except insofar as, and only to the
extent that, such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission is made in reliance upon and in conformity
with Subscriber Information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided that
the Company shall not be relieved of liability to the extent it has modified such Subscriber Information or used it in a manner that renders
the disclosure misleading.
22
(b)
To the extent permitted by law, and in connection with any Registration Statement in which Subscriber is participating as a
selling stockholder, Subscriber agrees, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber in the offering contemplated by this Subscription
Agreement, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person who controls
the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Company against any losses, charges,
claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred
in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) arising out of any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material
fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in any Registration Statement 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 (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading, but only
to the extent that such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity
with any Subscriber Information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein, and not as
a result of any modification or misleading use thereof by the Company; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in
this Section 8 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such losses, charges, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses
if such settlement is effected without the consent of Subscriber. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber payable by way of indemnity
or contribution under this Section 8(b) or under Section 8(e) be greater than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber
upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded
Warrants), as applicable, purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification or contribution obligation.
(c)
Any person entitled to indemnification herein 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 materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) unless in
such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist
with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying
party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more
than one counsel (plus local 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 includes a statement or admission of
fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party 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.
(d)
The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, trustee, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling
person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (or Pre-Funded Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants), as applicable, purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. The indemnified
parties are express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8, entitled to enforce this Section 8 as if they were parties hereto.
23
(e)
If the indemnification provided under this Section 8 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless
an indemnified party in respect of any losses, charges, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses referred to herein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party
as a result of such losses, charges, claims, damages, liabilities, costs 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 reference to, among other things, whether any action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made
by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by or on behalf of (or not supplied by, in the case
of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a
result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, 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 8 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Any contribution by Subscriber pursuant to
this Section 8(e) (together with any indemnity under Section 8(b)) shall be no greater than the amount of net proceeds received by such
Subscriber from the sale of such Subscribed Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of
the Pre-Funded Warrants), as applicable, purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to this obligation. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any party be liable to another party for consequential, special, exemplary or punitive
damages in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that this limitation shall not
limit any indemnification or contribution obligation under this Section 8 in respect of amounts payable to third parties or any liability
for fraud or intentional misrepresentation.
9.
Company’s Covenants.
(a)
At any time and from time to time in connection with a bona fide sale of Subscribed Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (or Pre-Funded
Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants), as applicable, effected in compliance with the requirements of Rule
144 under the Securities Act or through any broker-dealer sale transactions described in the plan of distribution set forth within any
prospectus and pursuant to the Registration Statement of which such prospectus forms a part, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts, subject to the receipt of customary documentation required from the holder of the applicable Subscribed Shares and/or Pre-Funded
Warrants (or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants), as applicable, and broker, if applicable, in

as applicable, being sold and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection
with the instruction under subclause (i). The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent, its legal counsel (including
for purposes of giving the opinion referenced herein) and all DTC fees associated with such issuance and legend removal, and the Subscriber
shall be responsible for its own fees or costs associated therewith (including its legal fees or costs of its legal counsel).
24
(b)
With a view to making available to Subscriber the benefits of Rule 144 that permit Subscriber to sell securities of the Company
to the public without registration, the Company agrees, for so long as Subscriber holds Subscribed Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (or
Pre-Funded Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants), as applicable, to:
(i) use commercially
reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and
(ii)
use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required
of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and to the extent
such filings are required pursuant to the applicable provisions of Rule 144.
(c)
While the Registration Statement is effective, the Company shall cause its counsel, or counsel acceptable to the transfer agent,
to issue to the transfer agent a legal opinion to allow the legend on the Registrable Securities to be removed upon a bona fide sale of
such Subscribed Shares and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants), as
applicable, pursuant to the plan of distribution set forth within any prospectus and pursuant to such effective Registration Statement
in accordance with this Section 9. Upon request, the Company shall provide the Subscriber with contact information for the person responsible
for the Company’s account at the transfer agent to facilitate transfers made pursuant to this Section 9. The Company shall be responsible
for the fees of its transfer agent and its legal counsel (including for purposes of giving the opinion referenced herein) associated with
such issuance, and the Subscriber shall be responsible for its own fees or costs associated therewith (including its legal fees or costs
of its legal counsel).
(d)
As of the Closing Date, the Company has reserved, and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times,
free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue the Pre-Funded
Warrant Shares that are issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any.
(e)
From the date of this Subscription Agreement through the Closing, the Company shall not enter into any Other Subscription Agreement,
or any side letter or similar agreement or other written or oral arrangement or understanding with any Other Subscriber or prospective
subscriber in the offering contemplated hereby, that includes terms (economic or otherwise) that are more favorable to such Other Subscriber
or prospective subscriber than the terms of this Subscription Agreement (other than terms particular to the legal or regulatory requirements
of such Other Subscriber or its affiliates or related persons), unless Subscriber has been disclosed and offered substantially the same
terms or benefits and, if accepted by Subscriber, such terms or benefits have been incorporated into this Subscription Agreement prior
to the Closing. The Company shall not amend, modify or waive any other Subscription Agreement or related side letter or agreement to provide
any such more favorable terms or benefits unless the foregoing requirements have been satisfied.
25

(c)
Each of the Company, Corxel, the Placement Agents and Subscriber is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement
or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered
hereby to the extent required by law or by regulatory bodies.
(d)
Each of the Company and Subscriber shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the
transactions contemplated herein.
(e)
Subscriber agrees that none of the Placement Agents, nor any of their respective affiliates or any of their or their respective
affiliates’ control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives, shall be liable to Subscriber
(including in contract, tort, under federal or state securities laws or otherwise) for any Losses, or shall have any liability or obligation
to Subscriber or any person claiming through Subscriber, pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or related to the private placement of
the Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, the negotiation hereof or the subject matter hereof, or the Transactions,
for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase and sale of the Subscribed
Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, hereunder. On behalf of Subscriber and its affiliates, Subscriber releases the Placement
Agents in respect of any Losses related to the Transactions and the purchase and sale of Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants, as
applicable, hereunder. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Losses” means any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations,
penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees
and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any action or claim). Subscriber agrees not to commence any litigation
or bring any claim against any of the Placement Agents in any court or other forum which relates to, may arise out of, or is in connection
with, the Transactions and the purchase and sale of the Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, hereunder. This undertaking
is given freely and after obtaining independent legal advice; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10(e) shall release, waive,
limit or otherwise impair any claim or liability arising from fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or gross negligence,
or any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived, including under applicable federal or state securities laws. The Company likewise
agrees, and shall cause Corxel to agree, that none of the Placement Agents, nor any of their respective affiliates or any of their or
their respective affiliates’ control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives, (i) makes any
representation or warranty, or has any responsibility, as to the validity, enforceability, accuracy, value or genuineness of any information,
certificates or documentation delivered by or on behalf of the Company or Corxel or (ii) shall be liable for any action taken, suffered
or omitted by any of them in good faith and reasonably believed to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred
upon it. Each Placement Agent, its affiliates and representatives shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be protected in acting upon,
any certificate, instrument, notice, letter or other document or security delivered to any of them by or on behalf of the Company or Corxel.
26
(f)
Subscriber hereby agrees that it shall not, nor shall any person acting at Subscriber’s direction or pursuant to any
understanding with Subscriber, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell, sell any option, engage in hedging activities
or execute any “short sales” (as such term is defined in Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, 17 CFR 242.200) or engage
in other hedging transactions of any kind (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements)
directly with respect to the Subscribed Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares during the period from the date
of this Subscription Agreement through the Closing or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth herein, (i) nothing in this Section 10(f) shall prohibit any entities under common management with Subscriber
that have no knowledge of this Subscription Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in the Subscription or that share an investment
adviser with Subscriber from entering into any short sales or engaging in other hedging transactions; (ii) in the case of a Subscriber
that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets
and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of Subscriber’s
assets, this Section 10(f) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the
investment decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares (or the Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable) covered by this Subscription Agreement;
(iii) nothing herein shall prohibit any sale (including the exercise of any redemption right) of securities of the Company (1) held by
Subscriber, its affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of its affiliates prior to the execution of this
Subscription Agreement or (2) purchased by Subscriber, its affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of Subscriber or any of
its affiliates after the execution of the Subscription Agreement; or (iv) nothing herein shall prohibit ordinary course hedging transactions
so long as the sales or borrowings relating to such hedging transactions are not settled with the Subscribed Shares or Pre-Funded Warrant
Shares subscribed for or issuable 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. The Company acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants may be pledged by Subscriber in connection with a bona fide margin agreement,
provided that such pledge shall be (i) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or
(ii) pursuant to, and in accordance with, a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act at the time of such pledge,
and Subscriber effecting a pledge of the Subscribed Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants shall not be required to provide the Company with any
notice thereof; provided, however, that neither the Company nor its counsel shall be required to take any action (or refrain from taking
any action) in connection with any such pledge, other than providing any such lender of such margin agreement with an acknowledgment that
the Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants are not subject to any contractual lock up or prohibition on pledging, with the form of
such acknowledgment subject to review and comment by the Company in all respects.
(g)
Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Subscribed Shares
or Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable acquired hereunder, if any, and the registration rights set forth in Section 5 in connection with
the transfer of any Subscribed Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrant Shares (issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants))
may be transferred or assigned, subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this paragraph. Neither this Subscription Agreement
nor any rights that may accrue to the Company hereunder may be transferred or assigned (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the
Company may transfer the Subscription Agreement and its rights hereunder solely in connection with the consummation of the Transactions
and exclusively to another entity under the control of, or under common control with, the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber
may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds
or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager/adviser who acts on behalf of Subscriber) or, with the Company’s prior
written consent, to another person; provided, that such affiliate or other person executes a joinder to this Subscription Agreement, such
joinder to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and no such assignment shall relieve Subscriber of its obligations
hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Company.
27
(h)
All the representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.
All of the covenants and agreements made by each party hereunder shall survive the Closing until the applicable statute of limitations
or in accordance with their respective terms. For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason the Closing does not occur prior to the consummation
of the Transactions, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereunder shall survive the consummation
of the Transactions and remain in full force and effect.
(i) The Company may
request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber
to acquire the Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants and to register the Subscribed Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrant
Shares for resale, and Subscriber shall promptly provide such information as may be reasonably requested to the extent reasonably available
and to the extent consistent with Subscriber’s internal policies and procedures, provided that the Company agrees to keep such
information confidential. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company may file a copy of the form of this Subscription Agreement and the
form of Pre-Funded Warrant with the Commission as an exhibit to a periodic report of the Company or a registration statement of the Company.
(j) Each Placement Agent
is acting severally and not jointly, and no Placement Agent is the agent, partner or representative of any other Placement Agent.
(k)
This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed
by the party against whom enforcement of such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver is sought. Additionally, no provision of this
Subscription Agreement expressly grants rights to, or imposes obligations on, a Placement Agent may be amended, modified, supplemented,
terminated or waived in a manner that materially and adversely affects such Placement Agent’s express rights or obligations without
the prior written consent of such Placement Agent; provided that no such consent shall be required for any amendment, modification, supplement,
termination or waiver solely between the Company and Subscriber that does not so affect such rights or obligations.
(l) This Subscription
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties,
both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(m) Except as otherwise
provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors,
administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns and shall not be for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof
be enforced by, any other person. This Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Placement Agents shall be third-party beneficiaries of,
and shall be entitled to enforce, the acknowledgments, representations, warranties, opinions, understandings, undertakings and covenants
of the Company, Corxel and their respective counsel, and of Subscriber, in each case contained in this Subscription Agreement that reference
the Placement Agents or that are expressed to be made to the Placement Agents, including Section 3, Section 4 and Section 10(e), and
(ii) the persons specifically referenced in Section 5, Section 8, Section 10(b), Section 10(c), Section 10(e), Section 10(k) and this
Section 10(m) shall be third-party beneficiaries as set forth therein.
28
(n)
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Subscription Agreement is being entered into in order to induce the
Company to execute and deliver the Business Combination Agreement and (ii) immediate and irreparable harm or 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 and that money or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties
shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches
or to restrain any violation or threatened violation of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
of this Subscription Agreement in the Designated Courts pursuant to Section 10(t), this being in addition to any other remedy to which
such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company
shall be entitled to seek to specifically enforce Subscriber’s obligations to fund the Purchase Price and the provisions of the
Subscription Agreement, and that the Placement Agents (as express third-party beneficiaries) shall be entitled to specifically enforce
the provisions of this Subscription Agreement of which they are third-party beneficiaries, in each case, on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree: (x) to waive any requirement for the security or posting
of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy; (y) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section
10(n) is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason; and (z) to waive any defenses in any action
for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(o)
If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in
full force and effect.
(p)
No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription 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 Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any 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 Subscription 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.
(q)
This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic
mail or in.pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document.
All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(r) This Subscription
Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement (whether based
on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Subscription
Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles
of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state.
29
(s)
EACH PARTY AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY
OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY
OTHER SUCH PARTY, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF
ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE
OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY
TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.
(t) The parties agree
that all disputes, legal actions, suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement must be brought exclusively
in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior
Court of the State of Delaware), or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware
(collectively the “Designated Courts”). Each party hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Designated Courts. No legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to this Subscription Agreement may be brought in any other
forum. Each party hereby irrevocably waives all claims of immunity from jurisdiction, and any objection which such party may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in any Designated Court, including any right to object on the basis that
any dispute, action, suit or proceeding brought in the Designated Courts has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum or venue.
Each of the parties also agrees that delivery of any process, summons, notice or document to a party hereto in compliance with Section
10(a) of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in a Designated Court with
respect to any matters to which the parties have submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above.
(u)
This Subscription Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon,
arising out of, or related to this Subscription Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Subscription Agreement,
may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations
set forth herein with respect to such party; except with respect to the provisions of this Subscription Agreement for which the Placement
Agents are express third-party beneficiaries.
(v)
If any change in the Common Stock shall occur between the date hereof and immediately prior to the Closing by reason of any
reclassification, recapitalization, subdivision (including consolidation) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any share
dividend, the number of Subscribed Shares issued to Subscriber (or Pre-Funded Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, as the case may
be) and the Per Share Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.
30
(w) The Company shall,
by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1st) Business Day immediately following the date of this Subscription Agreement,
issue one or more press releases or furnish or file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure
Document”) disclosing all material terms of this Subscription Agreement, the Other Subscription Agreements, the Business
Combination Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the Transactions and any other material, non-public information
that the Company, Corxel or Corxel Pharmaceuticals Limited (“Parent”) has provided to Subscriber at any time
prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. The Company acknowledges that, upon the issuance or filing of the Disclosure Document,
Subscriber and its affiliates will not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Company, Corxel or
Parent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, in each case regardless of whether Subscriber and its affiliates
is an existing investor in Corxel or Parent, and Subscriber shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations
under any current agreement, whether written or oral with the Company, Corxel, Parent, the Placement Agents, or any of their respective
affiliates in connection with the Transactions. Except with the express written consent of Subscriber and unless prior thereto Subscriber
shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information, the Company shall not, and shall cause
its officers, directors, employees and agents, not to, provide Subscriber with any material, non-public information regarding the Company,
Corxel, Parent or the Transactions from and after the filing of the Disclosure Document. The Company understands and confirms that the
Subscriber and its affiliates, representatives and advisers will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in the
securities of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not, and shall
cause the Placement Agents, Corxel and Parent not to, (i) publicly disclose the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers,
or include the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers, if applicable, in any press release, without the prior written
consent of Subscriber and (ii) publicly disclose the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers, or include the name of
Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or trading market, without
the prior written consent of Subscriber, except (A) as required by federal securities laws, a regulatory agency or the regulations of
Nasdaq and (B) as expressly contemplated by Section 5(a) of this Subscription Agreement, in each such case, the Company shall provide
Subscriber with prior written notice of such disclosure, and shall reasonably consult with Subscriber regarding such disclosure. Nothing
in this Subscription Agreement shall require Subscriber or any of its affiliates to make any public disclosure, or any filing with or
submission to the Commission or any other regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization or trading market, in connection with this
Subscription Agreement or the Transactions, and the Company shall be solely responsible for preparing and making, at its sole cost, all
disclosures and filings required of the Company, Corxel, Parent or any of their respective affiliates in connection with the Transactions.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be solely responsible for obtaining any consent of Subscriber required pursuant to this
Section 10(w) and for providing any prior written notice to and engaging in any consultation with Subscriber contemplated by this Section
10(w), including with respect to any disclosure by the Placement Agents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10(w)
shall prohibit any Placement Agent from disclosing the identity of Subscriber and the existence of this Subscription Agreement and the
terms hereof (1) to its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners and potential and existing co-investors,
(2) to its and its affiliates’ legal, financial or tax advisers, auditors or other professional advisers, or (3) to any regulatory
authority or self-regulatory organization having jurisdiction over such
Placement Agent (including in connection with routine examinations), in each case on a confidential basis. Further, and for the avoidance
of doubt, the disclosures described in clauses (1) through (3) above shall not be deemed to be “public” disclosures for purposes
of this Section 10(w) and shall not require the prior consent of, or prior notice to, Subscriber.
(x)
The obligations of Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other
Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements, and Subscriber shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations
of any Other Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement or any Other Subscriber under the Other Subscription Agreements. The decision
of Subscriber to purchase Subscribed Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made
by Subscriber independently of any Other Subscriber and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the
business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects
of the Company, Corxel or any of their respective subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Subscriber or investor or
by any agent or employee of any Other Subscriber or investor, and neither Subscriber nor any of its agents or employees shall have any
liability to any Other Subscriber or investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements
or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or any investor pursuant
hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and the Other Subscribers a partnership, an association, a joint venture or
any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and the Other Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements.
Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder
and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection with monitoring its investment in the Subscribed Shares and
Pre-Funded Warrants, as applicable, or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not
be necessary for any Other Subscriber or investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

(the “Company”), hereby certifies that, pursuant to that certain Subscription Agreement, dated as of [●], 2026
(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Subscription Agreement”), by and between the
Company and [PIPE Investor], [PIPE Investor] or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, subject to the terms
of this Pre-Funded Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (this “Warrant”), to purchase from the Company up to [●]
shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) (each such share, a “Warrant
Share” and collectively, the “Warrant Shares”), subject to adjustment as provided herein, at an exercise
price of $0.0001 per Warrant Share (the “Exercise Price”). The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, other than
the Exercise Price, was pre-funded in full and no additional consideration (other than the Exercise Price) shall be payable by the Holder
to effect any exercise of this Warrant. This Warrant is issued as of the Original Issue Date above (the “Original Issue Date”)

Financing”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Subscription
Agreement.

For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Affiliate”
means, with respect to any Person, any other Person who directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled
by, or is under common control with, such Person. The term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the
power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities,
by contract or otherwise, and the terms “controlled” and “controlling” have meanings correlative thereto.
“Attribution Parties”
means, collectively, the following Persons and entities: (i) any direct or indirect Affiliates of the Holder, (ii) any investment vehicle,
including, any funds, feeder funds or managed accounts, currently, or from time to time after the date hereof, directly or indirectly

Parties and (iv) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock would or could be aggregated with the
Holder’s and/or any other Attribution Parties for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Exchange Act. For clarity, the
purpose of the foregoing is to subject collectively the Holder and all other Attribution Parties to the Maximum Percentage (as defined
below).
Ex A-2
“Closing Sale Price”
means, for any security as of any date, the last trade price for such security on the Principal Trading Market for such security, as reported

the last trade price, then the last trade price of such security prior to 4:00 P.M., New York City time, as reported by Bloomberg Financial
Markets, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last trade price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin
board for such security as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets. If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a
particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as
mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such
security, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall use its good faith judgment to determine the fair market value. The Board of
Directors’ determination shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. All such determinations shall be appropriately
adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.
“Commission”
means the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
“Exchange Act”
means the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all of the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

“Subscription Agreement” has
the meaning set forth in the introductory paragraph of this Warrant.
“Permitted Distribution”
means any distribution or other transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant, without consideration, by any Person receiving all or
any portion of this Warrant in such distribution or other transfer (“Distributee”) or other Holder to any of its Affiliates,
to any investment fund, vehicle or account managed or advised by the same investment manager or adviser as such Distributee or other Holder
(or by an Affiliate thereof) or to any of its or their direct or indirect equityholders (including shareholders, members and partners)
in their capacities as such.
“Person”
means an individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, business trust, joint stock company, trust, incorporated or
unincorporated association, joint venture, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or any other entity or organization.

Ex A-3
“Standard Settlement
Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, for the Principal Trading Market with respect
to the Common Stock that is in effect on the date of delivery of an applicable Exercise Notice (as defined below), which as of the Original
Issue Date was “T+1.”
“Trading Day”
means any weekday on which the Principal Trading Market is normally open for trading.
“Transfer Agent”
means Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock, and any successor
appointed in such capacity.
2. Issuance
of Securities; Registration of Warrants. The Company shall register ownership of this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by
the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial
Holder or, as the case may be, any assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder) from time to time. The Company may
deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution
to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Transfer
and Assignment.
(a) Subject
to applicable securities laws and the restrictions set forth in the Subscription Agreement and this Warrant, this Warrant and the rights
evidenced hereby may be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, by delivery to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a duly completed
instrument of assignment substantially in the form attached as Schedule 2. No consent of the Company shall be required for any transfer
or assignment of this Warrant, and no opinion of counsel or other deliverable shall be required for any Permitted Distribution.
(b) Upon
a permitted transfer, the Company shall promptly register the transfer in the Warrant Register (and in any event within two Trading Days
after receipt of the applicable instrument of assignment) and issue a new warrant to the transferee in substantially the form of this
Warrant for the portion transferred and, if applicable, issue to the transferring Holder a new warrant for the untransferred balance,
each of which shall be dated, and deemed issued as of, the Original Issue Date. The Company shall bear its administrative costs of any
such issuance, but the transferring Holder shall be responsible for any transfer taxes arising from a transfer to a Person other than
an Affiliate or in a Permitted Distribution.
(c) Any
transferee accepting a Warrant shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the terms of this Warrant. Any registration rights with
respect to the Warrant Shares shall be governed by the Subscription Agreement.
4. Exercise
of Warrants.
(a) All
or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by this Warrant (including Section
11) at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date, and such rights shall not expire until exercised in full.
(b) The
Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1 hereto
(the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant
Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the
Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date on which the last of such items is delivered to the Company
(as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required
to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. The Exercise Notice may be delivered by e-mail (including as
a .pdf attachment) in accordance with Section 13, and no ink-original Exercise Notice, and no medallion guarantee or other guarantee or
notarization of any Exercise Notice, shall be required. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation
of the original Warrant and issuance of a new warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares, if any.
Ex A-4
(c) The
Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this section, following
the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given
time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
5. Delivery
of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement
Period following the Exercise Date), upon the request of the Holder, cause the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice and to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise (the “Exercise
Shares”) to (i) the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system or (ii) in book-entry form via a direct registration system maintained by or on behalf
of the Transfer Agent, in each case, so long as either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the
Warrant Shares to or the resale of such Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Exercise Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder
without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (assuming cashless exercise of
this Warrant). If (A) and (B) above are not true, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to either (i) record the Exercise Shares
in the name of the Holder or its designee on the certificates reflecting the Exercise Shares with an appropriate legend regarding restriction
on transferability, which shall be issued and dispatched by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, and
on the Company’s share register or (ii) issue such Exercise Shares in the name of the Holder or its designee in restricted book-entry
form in the Company’s share register. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be
deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares
are credited to the Holder’s DTC account, the date of the book entry positions or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing
such Exercise Shares, as the case may be.
(b) In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver to the Holder or its
designee Exercise Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a) within the Standard Settlement Period following the Exercise
Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Company) and the Holder or the Holder’s
broker on its behalf purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”) but did
not receive within the Standard Settlement Period, then the Company shall, within two Trading Days after the Holder’s request, (x)
at the Holder’s election in its sole discretion, either (1) reinstate the portion of this Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant
Shares for which such exercise was not timely honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or (2) promptly honor its
obligation to deliver to the Holder or its designee the Exercise Shares pursuant to Section 5(a), and (y) pay cash to the Holder
in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased in the Buy-In, less the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Buy-In,
times (B) the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
promptly after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In together with applicable
confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company.
Ex A-5
(c) To
the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 5(b), the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in
accordance with and subject to the terms hereof (including the limitations set forth in Section 11 below) are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof,
the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation
or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or
alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Subject to Section 5(b), nothing herein
shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation,
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Exercise Shares;
provided, however, that the Holder shall not be entitled to both (i) require the Company to reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent
number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not timely honored and (ii) receive the number of shares of Common Stock that would
have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 5(a).
6. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Exercise Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense (excluding any applicable stamp duties) in respect of the issuance
of such shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a
name other than that of the Holder, an Affiliate thereof or a transferee in a Permitted Distribution. The Holder shall be responsible
for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise
hereof.
7. Replacement
of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a new warrant, but only upon receipt
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction (in such case) and, in each case, a customary and
reasonable contractual indemnity, if requested by the Company. If a new warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant,
then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue
the new warrant.
8. Reservation
of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will, at all times while this Warrant is outstanding, reserve and keep available
out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue
Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are initially issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth in Section 11), free from preemptive
rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions
of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of
the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
The Company will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided
herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation
system upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company shall, at its expense, cause the Warrant Shares to be approved for listing
on the Principal Trading Market (subject to official notice of issuance) no later than the Original Issue Date and shall maintain such
listing for so long as the Common Stock is listed thereon. The Company further covenants that it will not, without the prior written consent
of the Holder, take any actions to increase the par value of the Common Stock at any time while this Warrant is outstanding.
Ex A-6
9. Certain
Adjustments. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Number of Warrant Shares”)
is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock
or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date and in accordance with
the terms of such stock on the Original Issue Date or as amended, that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of capital stock any additional shares of Common Stock of
the Company, then in each such case the Number of Warrant Shares shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, provided, however,
that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid on the date fixed therefor, the Number of Warrant Shares
shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted
pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends. Any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of
this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or issuance.
(b) Pro
Rata Distributions. If, on or after the Original Issue Date, the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other pro rata distribution
of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,
without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets
by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction, but, for
the avoidance of doubt, excluding any distribution of shares of Common Stock subject to Section 9(a), any distribution of Purchase
Rights (as defined below) subject to Section 9(c) and any Fundamental Transaction (as defined below) subject to Section 9(d))
(a “Company Distribution”) then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Company Distribution
to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without
limitation, the Maximum Percentage (as defined below)) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Company Distribution,
or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation
in such Company Distribution; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Company
Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not
be entitled to participate in such Company Distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares
of Common Stock as a result of such Company Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Company Distribution shall be held in
abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution
Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Company Distribution (and any Company
Distributions declared or made on such initial Company Distribution or on any subsequent Company Distribution held similarly in abeyance)
to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.
Ex A-7
(c) Purchase
Rights. If at any time on or after the Original Issue Date, the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property, in each case pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common
Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase
Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including
without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for
the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate
in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder
shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such
Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and at the Holder’s election, in its
sole discretion, either (1) such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time
or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which
time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or
on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation or (2) the
Company shall offer the Holder the right upon exercise of such Purchase Right to acquire a security (e.g. a pre-funded warrant) that would
not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage but will otherwise to the extent possible
have economic and other rights, preferences and privileges substantially consistent and on par with the securities or other property issuable
upon exercise of the originally offered Purchase Rights. As used in this Section 9(c), (i) “Options” means any rights,
warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities and (ii) “Convertible Securities”
mean any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock.
(d) Fundamental
Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which the stockholders of the Company immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately
after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the Company effects any sale to another Person of all or substantially all of its assets in one
or a series of related transactions, (iii) pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person),
holders of capital stock tender shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company and the Company
or such other Person, as applicable, accepts such tender for payment, (iv) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other
business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another
Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company (except for any such transaction
in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction maintain, in substantially the same proportions, the voting
power of such Person immediately after the transaction) or (v) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other
than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a
“Fundamental Transaction”), then following such Fundamental Transaction the Holder shall have the right to receive,
upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon
the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number
of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (including any Company Distributions or Purchase Rights then held
in abeyance pursuant to Sections 9(b) or 9(c) above) without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein (the
“Alternate Consideration”) provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, neither (A) the domestication of the
Company from a Cayman Islands exempted company to a Delaware corporation in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement nor (B) the acquisition by the Company of Corxel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. pursuant to the business combination agreement
entered into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, shall constitute a Fundamental Transaction for purposes of this Warrant.
If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such
Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall not effect any Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity or
the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person unless (i) the Alternate Consideration is solely cash and the Company
provides for the simultaneous “cashless exercise” of this Warrant pursuant to Section 10 below or (ii) prior to or
simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or other Person (including any purchaser
of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph
(d) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous to a Fundamental Transaction type.
Ex A-8
(e) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 9 shall be to the nearest share.
(f) Notice
of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will, at the
written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate
to the Holder and to the Transfer Agent.
(g) Notice
of Corporate Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash,
securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such transaction at least ten days prior to
the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect
to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of
the corporate action required to be described in such notice. In addition, if while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company authorizes
or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction contemplated by
Section 9(d), other than a Fundamental Transaction under clause (iii) of Section 9(d), the Company shall deliver to the
Holder a notice of such Fundamental Transaction at least 30 days prior to the date such Fundamental Transaction is consummated. To the
extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material non-public information regarding the Company, the Company
shall publicly disclose such information (by press release or in a Current Report on Form 8-K) no later than the time such notice is delivered
to the Holder, unless the Holder has agreed in writing in advance to receive such information on a confidential basis.
10. Payment
of Exercise Price. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, satisfy
its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise”, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder
the number of Warrant Shares in an exchange of securities effected pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
“X” equals the number
of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
“Y”
equals the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;
“A”
equals the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets) as of the Trading Day on
the date immediately preceding the Exercise Date; and
“B”
equals the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
Ex A-9
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction
shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced,
on the Original Issue Date (provided that the Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such
exercise). In the event that a registration statement registering the issuance of Warrant Shares is, for any reason, not effective at
the time of exercise of this Warrant, then this Warrant may only be exercised through a cashless exercise, as set forth in this Section
10. If the Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with Section
3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Exercise Shares issued in such exercise may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrants being
exercised, subject to applicable requirements of Rule 144. The Company shall not take any position contrary to the foregoing. Except as
set forth in Section 5(b) (Buy-In Remedy) and Section 12 (No Fractional Shares), in no event will the exercise of this Warrant
be settled in cash.
11. Limitations
on Exercise.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder of
this Warrant shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant, and any such exercise shall be null and void ab initio and
treated as if the exercise had not been made, to the extent that immediately prior to or following such exercise, the Holder, together
with the Attribution Parties, beneficially owns or would beneficially own as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, in excess of 9.99% (or, if so elected by the Holder by written notice to the Company delivered
on or before the Original Issue Date or, in the case of any transferee, in the applicable instrument of assignment, 4.99%) (the “Maximum
Percentage”) of the Common Stock that would be issued and outstanding following such exercise. In applying the foregoing limitation,
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the Attribution Parties shall be aggregated regardless of whether such Common Stock
was acquired in the PIPE Financing, received upon a distribution of merger consideration by Corxel Pharmaceuticals Limited or acquired
otherwise, subject to the exclusions for securities with analogous exercise or conversion limitations expressly set forth below. For purposes
of calculating beneficial ownership for determining whether the Maximum Percentage is or will be exceeded, the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the Attribution Parties, shall include the number of shares
of Common Stock held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder together with the Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the relevant Warrant with respect to which the determination is being made but shall exclude the number
of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrant held and/or beneficially owned
by the Holder or the Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities
of the Company held and/or beneficially owned by such Holder or any Attribution Party (including, without limitation, any convertible
notes, convertible stock or warrants) that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained
herein. For purposes of this Section 11(a), beneficial ownership of the Holder or the Attribution Parties shall, except as set
forth in the immediately preceding sentence, be calculated and determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the
rules promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Warrant, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder
of this Warrant may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form
10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement
by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
(such issued and outstanding shares, the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). For any reason at any time, upon the
written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to
the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Holder shall be solely responsible for determining whether, and
to what extent, the limitation contained in this Section 11(a) applies; the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to be the
Holder’s determination that the exercise thereunder complies with this Section 11(a); and the Company shall have no obligation to
verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder
in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause
the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 11(a),
to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to
such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon
as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. In any
case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities
of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and the Attribution Parties since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding
Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder,
together with the Attribution Parties, being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number
of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which
the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess
Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder and/or the Attribution Parties shall
not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares
has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Any
Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is not exercised by reason of this Section 11 (including any Reduction Shares and Excess Shares)
shall remain subject to this Warrant, this Warrant shall remain outstanding and exercisable with respect to such Warrant Shares in accordance
with its terms, and no exercise or attempted exercise that is limited or deemed null and void by reason of this Section 11 shall cause
this Warrant or any portion hereof to lapse, terminate or be cancelled. By written notice to the Company, a Holder of this Warrant may
from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% specified in such notice;
provided that (i) any increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the
Company, (ii) any decrease in the Maximum Percentage will be effective immediately upon delivery of such notice to the Company, (iii)
any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder delivering such notice and not to any other holder of a warrant issued upon
transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant (whose Maximum Percentage shall be 9.99%, or such lower percentage as it elects under this
Section 11(a), unless and until changed by it in accordance with this sentence) and (iv) no such change shall negatively affect any partial
exercise effected prior to such change.
Ex A-10
(b) This
Section 11 shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder or the Attribution Parties may receive or beneficially
own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder or the Attribution Parties may receive in the
event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9(d) of this Warrant. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned
by the Holder or the Attribution Parties for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, including Rule 16a-1(a)(1). No prior inability to exercise
this Warrant pursuant to this Section 11 shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 11 with respect
to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this Section 11 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 11 to the extent necessary to correct this Section 11 or any portion thereof
which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 11 or to make
changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this Section 11
may not be waived or amended (whether pursuant to Section 15(d) or otherwise) other than by an increase or decrease of the Maximum Percentage
effected in accordance with Section 11(a), and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. Nothing in this Section 11 or in the
definition of Attribution Parties shall constitute an admission by the Holder or any other Person that it is the beneficial owner of any
securities held by any other Person or that it is a member of a Group with any other Person.
12. No
Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any
fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the next whole
number and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the fair market value (based on the Closing Sale Price) for any such fractional shares.
13. Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
via confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address specified in this Section 13 prior to 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on a Trading Day, (ii)
the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address
specified in this Section 13 on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on any Trading Day, (iii)
the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service specifying next business day
delivery, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Person to whom such notice is required to be given, if by hand delivery. Notices to the Company
shall be addressed to [NEW PUBCO NAME], [address], Attention: [●], e-mail: [●] (with a copy, which shall not constitute notice,
to [●]), or to such other address or e-mail address as the Company may specify by written notice to the Holder. Notices to the Holder
shall be addressed to the address or e-mail address of the Holder set forth in the Warrant Register (or, if more recent, in the Holder’s
most recent Exercise Notice or instrument of assignment), or to such other address or e-mail address as the Holder may specify by written
notice to the Company.
14. Warrant
Agent. The Company shall initially serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company
may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting
from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new
warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent
under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant
agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
Ex A-11
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) No
Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise set forth in this Warrant, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder
of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of capital stock of the Company for any purpose,
nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as the Holder
of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action
(whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, amalgamation, conveyance or otherwise),
receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant
Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant
shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or
as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(b) Further
Assurances. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without
limitation, amending its certificate or articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor
upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c)
use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction
thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Before taking any action which would
result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations
or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
(c) Successors
and Assigns. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not
be assigned by the Company without the written consent of the Holder, except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction.
This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and assigns. Subject
to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any
legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.
(d) Amendment
and Waiver. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder, or their successors and assigns. Except
as otherwise provided herein, the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed
by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder.
(e) Subscription
Agreement; Other Agreements. This Warrant is issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. In the event of an irreconcilable conflict
between this Warrant and the Subscription Agreement with respect to the initial number of Warrant Shares or the consideration payable
for this Warrant, the Subscription Agreement shall control. Following issuance, the exercise mechanics and rights of the Holder under
this Warrant shall be governed by this Warrant. Transfer restrictions and registration rights applicable to this Warrant or the Warrant
Shares shall be governed by this Warrant and the Subscription Agreement.

Law; Jurisdiction. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED

(“Stockholder”). Each of SPAC and Stockholder are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party”
and collectively as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined herein).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Stockholder
is the record and beneficial owner of 100 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Corxel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), which represents all of the issued and outstanding Company Shares as of the date
hereof;
WHEREAS, the holders
of the requisite number of issued and outstanding equity interests of Stockholder have duly authorized and approved the execution, delivery
and performance by Stockholder of this Agreement and Stockholder’s entry into the Business Combination Agreement and the consummation
by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, in each case in accordance with applicable Cayman Islands Law and
Stockholder’s Governing Documents;
WHEREAS, SPAC, Merger
Sub, Stockholder, and the Company have entered into (or are entering into concurrently herewith) that certain Business Combination Agreement
(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business Combination
Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company
continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC (the “Merger”), together with
any other merger, reorganization or similar steps contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; and (ii) each Company Share will
be converted into the right to receive SPAC Shares (and, at Stockholder’s election, Pre-Funded Warrants), in each case, on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;
WHEREAS, in consideration
for the benefits to be received by Stockholder under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and as a material inducement to SPAC
agreeing to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, Stockholder agrees to enter
into this Agreement and to be bound by the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Parties
acknowledge and agree that SPAC would not have entered into and agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination
Agreement without Stockholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by the agreements, covenants and obligations contained
in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual promises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Company
Stockholder Consent and Related Matters.
(a) Unless
this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 5, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within
two (2) Business Days) following the date on which the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is declared effective under the Securities
Act, Stockholder shall duly execute and deliver to the Company in respect of its Company Shares, the Company Stockholder Written Consent
adopting the Business Combination Agreement and approving the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger), the Ancillary
Documents to which the Company is or will be a party and the transactions contemplated thereby, as contemplated by and in accordance with
Section 5.13(b) of the Business Combination Agreement.
(b) Without
limiting the generality of Section 1(a), during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the valid termination
of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5, Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) at any meeting of the stockholders
of the Company (including any adjournment or postponement), however called, and in any action by written resolution of the stockholders
of the Company, at which the Business Combination Agreement and other related agreements (or any amended version thereof) or such other
related actions, are submitted for the consideration of the stockholder of the Company, all of its Company Shares held as of such record
date:
(i) in
favor of: (A) the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement; and (B) the Merger and the other transactions contemplated
by the Business Combination Agreement, including the Ancillary Documents and all other agreements related thereto to which the Company
is a party; and
(ii) against:
(A) any Company Acquisition Proposal; and (B) any other matter, action, transaction, agreement or proposal that is intended, or would
reasonably be expected, to result in any condition to Closing set forth in Article 6 of the Business Combination Agreement not being satisfied
or otherwise frustrate, impede, hinder, interfere with, prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated
by the Business Combination Agreement.
(c) For
the avoidance of doubt, in the event that (i) any Company Shares are issued to Stockholder after the date of this Agreement pursuant to
any share dividend, share split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of Company Shares of, on or affecting the
Company Shares owned by Stockholder or otherwise, (ii) Stockholder purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any Company
Shares after the date of this Agreement, or (iii) Stockholder acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of any Company Shares
after the date of this Agreement (such Company Shares or other equity securities of the Company, collectively the “New Securities”),
then such New Securities acquired or purchased by Stockholder shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement (including with respect
to the voting and proxy requirements set forth in this Section 1) to the same extent as if they constituted Company Shares owned by Stockholder
as of the date of this Agreement.
(d) Without
limiting any other rights or remedies of SPAC, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the valid termination
of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5, Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints SPAC or any individual designated by SPAC
as Stockholder’s agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstituting), for the purposes of complying
with its obligations hereunder in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and on Stockholder’s behalf, for and in the
name, place and stead of Stockholder, to attend on behalf of Stockholder any meeting of Stockholder with respect to the matters described
in Section 1(a)-(b), to include the Company Shares in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of Stockholder,
to vote (or cause to be voted) the Company Shares or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to any of the matters described in Section
1(b) in connection with any meeting of Stockholder or any action by written consent by Stockholder (including the Company Stockholder
Written Consent), in each case, in the event that Stockholder fails to provide its consent or vote its Company Shares in accordance with
Section 1(a)-(b) or perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1(a)-(b).
(e) The
proxy granted by Stockholder pursuant to Section 1(d) is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and
is granted in consideration for SPAC entering into the Business Combination Agreement and agreeing to consummate the transactions contemplated
thereby. Stockholder authorizes such attorney-in-fact and proxy to substitute any other Person to act hereunder, to revoke any substitution
and to file this proxy and any substitution or revocation with the Secretary of the Company. The proxy granted by Stockholder pursuant
to Section 1(d) is also a durable proxy and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to act by
Stockholder and Stockholder hereby revokes any and all prior proxies granted by Stockholder with respect to its Company Shares. The vote
or consent of the proxyholder in accordance with Section 1(d) and with respect to the matters in Section 1(a)-(b) shall control in the
event of any conflict between such vote or consent by the proxyholder of the Company Shares and a vote or consent by Stockholder of its
Company Shares (or any other Person with the power to vote of such Company Shares) with respect to the matters in Section 1(a)-(b). The
proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1(d) on any matter except those provided in Section 1(a)-(b). For the
avoidance of doubt, Stockholder may vote its Company Shares on all other matters, subject to, for the avoidance of doubt, the other applicable
covenants, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement. Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with
an interest and may under no circumstances be revoked and that such irrevocable proxy is executed and intended to be irrevocable. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the irrevocable proxy granted hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the termination of this
Agreement in accordance with Section 5. Stockholder agrees not to grant any proxy that conflicts or is inconsistent with the proxy granted
to SPAC in this Agreement.
2
(f) SPAC
acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in any SPAC Party any direct or indirect ownership
or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Company Shares of the Stockholder. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of
and relating to the Company Shares of the Stockholder shall remain vested in and belong to the Stockholder, and SPAC shall have no authority
to direct the Stockholder in the voting or disposition of any of the Stockholder’s Company Shares, except as otherwise provided
herein.
2. Other
Acknowledgments and Agreements.
(a) Stockholder
acknowledges that it is a direct party to the Business Combination Agreement and, as such, is bound by and subject to Sections 5.3(a)
(Confidentiality), 5.4(a) (Public Announcements), 5.6(a) (Exclusive Dealing), and 8.18 (Trust Account Waiver)
of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms.
(b) Stockholder
acknowledges and agrees that SPAC is entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon Stockholder entering into this
Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations
contained in this Agreement, and but for Stockholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise
comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement, SPAC would not have entered into or
agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.
3. Stockholder
Representations and Warranties. Stockholder represents and warrants to SPAC, as of the date of this Agreement and as of immediately
prior to the Effective Time as though made at and as of such time, as follows; provided that any representation or warranty expressly
made as of a specified date shall be made only as of such specified date:
(a) Stockholder
is a Cayman Islands exempted company duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the Cayman Islands. Stockholder
has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement, to perform
its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery and
performance by Stockholder of this Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement and the consummation by Stockholder of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized and approved by Stockholder’s board of directors, the holders of the requisite
number of equity interests of Stockholder and all other Persons whose authorization, approval or consent is required under applicable
Law, Stockholder’s Governing Documents or any Contract binding upon Stockholder. All such authorizations, approvals and consents
remain in full force and effect and have not been amended, rescinded or revoked. Assuming the valid execution and delivery of the Company
and SPAC, this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Stockholder and constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation
of Stockholder, enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.
(b) No
consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required on the part of
Stockholder with respect to Stockholder’s execution, delivery or performance of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this
Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the
provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for any consents,
approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations, waivers or filings pursuant to, in compliance with or required to be made under
the Exchange Act or in connection with the Restructuring and Distribution Matters or the absence of which would not adversely affect the
ability of Stockholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder in any material
respect.
3
(c) None
of the execution or delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder, the performance by Stockholder of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations
under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that relate
to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will, directly or
indirectly (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) (i) result in any breach of any provision of Stockholder’s Governing
Documents, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default or give rise to any right of termination, Consent, cancellation,
amendment, modification, suspension, revocation or acceleration under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any material Contract
to which Stockholder is a party, (iii) violate, or constitute a breach under, any Order or applicable Law to which Stockholder is bound
or (iv) result in the creation of any Lien upon its Company Shares (other than those arising under applicable securities laws, as would
not otherwise restrict the performance of Stockholder’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement, as created by this Agreement, the
Company’s Governing Documents), in each case, in a manner that could reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair

breach of this Agreement. No notice or update delivered pursuant to this Section shall cure any breach of this Agreement or otherwise
affect any right or remedy of SPAC unless SPAC expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

in this Agreement prior to such termination or for Fraud. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this
Agreement and in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall not survive the termination of this Agreement; provided
that the provisions set forth in Sections 8 through 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
6. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement and the documents referred to herein and therein constitute the entire
agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both
written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement.
7. Amendments
and Waivers; Assignment. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in
writing and signed by Stockholder and SPAC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other
right hereunder. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assignable by Stockholder without
SPAC’s prior written consent (to be withheld or given in its sole discretion).

8. Fees

with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and
accountants, shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses.
9. Remedies.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of
any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude
the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be
an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that either Party does not perform its respective obligations under the provisions of this
Agreement in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall
be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and
to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof
of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each Party agrees that it will
not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate
remedy for any reason at law or equity.
10. No
Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns and is not intended, nor shall be construed, to give any Person, other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns,
any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever by reason of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed
or implied, is intended to or shall constitute the Parties as partners or participants in a joint venture.

REGISTRATIONS AND OFFERINGS
2.1 Shelf
Registration.
2.1.1 Filing.
(a) Within
forty-five (45) calendar days following the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), AMAN shall submit to or file with
the Commission a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1 Shelf”) or a Registration
Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form S-3 (the “Form S-3 Shelf”), if AMAN is then eligible to use a Form S-3 Shelf,
in each case, covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such submission or
filing) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the AMAN Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants) on a delayed or continuous
basis as permitted by Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect)
and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof,
but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the Commission notifies AMAN that it will “review”
the Registration Statement) following the earlier of (A) the filing of the Registration Statement and (B) the Filing Deadline, and (ii)
the 7th Business Day after the date AMAN is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration
Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review by the Commission (such deadline the “Effectiveness
Deadline”); provided, that if the Filing Deadline or Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the
Commission is closed for business, the Filing Deadline or Effectiveness Deadline, as the case may be, shall be extended to the next Business
Day on which the Commission is open for business; provided, further, however, that AMAN's obligations to include the Registrable
Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Holder furnishing in a completed questionnaire in customary form to AMAN
that contains the information required by Commission rules for a Registration Statement regarding the Holder, the securities of AMAN held
by the Holder as shall be reasonably requested by AMAN to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and shall execute such
documents in connection with such registration as AMAN may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.
If the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same number
of Business Days on which the Commission remains closed. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included
therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available (the “Plan of Distribution”) to, and requested
by, any Holder named therein. AMAN shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission
such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available
for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions
of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event AMAN files a Form S-1 Shelf, AMAN
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form S-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) to a Form
S-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after AMAN is eligible to use Form S-3. AMAN's obligation under this Section 2.1.1, shall, for the avoidance
of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4. Any failure by AMAN to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to cause
the effectiveness of such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve AMAN of its obligations to
file or cause the effectiveness of the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 2.1. Upon notification by the
Commission that any Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, and within two (2) Business Days thereafter,
AMAN shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act. Upon any dividend or distribution by Corxel Cayman of Registrable
Securities (including BCA Pre-Funded Warrants) to its shareholders, or any transfer of Registrable Securities by Corxel Cayman to one
or more of its shareholders pursuant to an exchange or redemption arrangement, or any subsequent in-kind distribution or similar transfer
of Registrable Securities by a Distributee or any of its Permitted Transferees to their respective equityholders, AMAN shall, within ten
(10) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof and the applicable Holder Information from the Distributees or such Permitted Transferees,
file a prospectus supplement naming the Distributees or such Permitted Transferees as selling securityholders thereunder, and no such
filing shall constitute a request pursuant to Section 2.1.3 or a demand pursuant to Section 2.1.4.
5
(b) AMAN
will provide a copy of such portions of the draft of the Registration Statement that include a Holder’s information to such Holder
for review and comment at least two (2) Business Days in advance of filing the Registration Statement, provided, that, for the avoidance
of doubt, in no event shall AMAN be required to delay or postpone the filing of such Registration Statement as a result of or in connection
with a Holder’s review. With respect to the Holder’s information, AMAN shall request such information at least five (5) Business
Days prior to the anticipated initial filing date of the Registration Statement.
(c) In
no event shall a Holder be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission; provided,
that if the Commission requests that a Holder be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, such Holder will
have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement, it being understood that such withdrawal shall not relieve AMAN of its
obligation to register for resale the Registrable Securities at a later date.
2.1.2 Subsequent
Shelf Registration. If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities
are still outstanding, AMAN shall, subject to Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably
practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts
to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent
Shelf Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days
prior to such filing), and pursuant to the Plan of Distribution. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, AMAN shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities
Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement
shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if AMAN is a well-known
seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination
date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named
therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time
as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 to the extent
that AMAN is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form.
AMAN’s obligation under this Section 2.1.2, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.4.
2.1.3 Additional
Registration Statement(s). Subject to Section 3.4, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered
for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, AMAN, upon written request of such Holder at any time beginning 30 days prior to the expiration
of the Lock-Up Period (if applicable), shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable
Securities to be covered by filing a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable
after such filing and such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however,
that AMAN shall only be required to cause such additional Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for the Sponsor,
and the AMAN Existing Investors, and six times for Corxel Cayman.
6
2.1.4 Requests
for Underwritten Offerings. Subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time and beginning 30 days prior to the expiration
of the Lock-up Period (if applicable), the Sponsor or Corxel Cayman (any such Holder being in such case, a “Demanding Holder”)
may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf;
provided that AMAN shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Offering following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period (if applicable)
if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with
other Demanding Holders, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $15,000,000 (the “Minimum
Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Offerings shall be made by giving written notice to AMAN, which shall specify
the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Offering. Subject to Section 2.4.4, the initial
Demanding Holder shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally
recognized investment banks), subject to AMAN's prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The
(i) Sponsor may demand not more than two (2) Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any twelve (12) month period, and
(ii) Corxel Cayman, may demand not more than two (2) Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any twelve (12) month period,
for an aggregate of not more than four (4) Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, AMAN may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement,
including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.
2.1.5 Reduction
of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering, in good faith, advises AMAN, the
Demanding Holders and the Holders requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Offering (such
Holders, the “Requesting Holders”) (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that
the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other AMAN Shares or other equity securities
that AMAN desires to sell and all other AMAN Shares or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten
Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders, exceeds the maximum dollar
amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering
price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number
of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then AMAN shall include in such Underwritten
Offering, before including any AMAN Shares or other equity securities proposed to be sold by AMAN or by other holders of AMAN Shares or
other equity securities, (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Securities (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included
in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that all of the Demanding Holders have requested be included
in such Underwritten Offering), (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing
clause (i), the Registrable Securities of the Requesting Holders (if any) (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities
that each Requesting Holder (if any) has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities
that all of the Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Offering) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum
Number of Securities, (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses
(i) and (ii), the AMAN Shares or other equity securities that AMAN desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number
of Securities, and (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii), the AMAN Shares or other equity securities of persons other than Holders of Registrable Securities that AMAN is obligated
to register in a Registration pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons that can be sold without exceeding
the Maximum Number of Securities.
2.1.6 Withdrawal.
Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten
Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Offering shall have the right to withdraw from such
Underwritten Offering for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to AMAN and
the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Offering; provided that the Sponsor or
Corxel Cayman may elect to have AMAN continue an Underwritten Offering if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the
Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Offering by the Sponsor, Corxel Cayman, or any of their respective Permitted
Transferees, as applicable. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Offering shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Offering
by the withdrawing Demanding Holder for purposes of Section 2.1.4, unless such Demanding Holder reimburses AMAN for all Registration
Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Offering (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder, a pro rata portion of such Registration
Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten
Offering); provided that, if the Sponsor, or Corxel Cayman elects to continue an Underwritten Offering pursuant to the proviso in the
immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Offering shall instead count as an Underwritten Offering demanded by the Sponsor or
Corxel Cayman, as applicable, for purposes of Section 2.1.4. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, AMAN 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, AMAN shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten
Offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.1.6, other than if a Demanding Holder elects to pay such Registration Expenses
pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 2.1.6.

2.2 Piggyback
Registration.
2.2.1 Piggyback
Rights. Subject to Section 2.4.3, if any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if AMAN proposes to file a
Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Registration of, equity securities, or securities or other obligations
exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for the account of stockholders of AMAN (or by AMAN and by the
stockholders of AMAN including, without limitation, an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration
Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan,
(ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities
Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of AMAN, (iv) for a dividend
reinvestment plan, (v) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to AMAN's existing securityholders, (vi) for a rights offering,
(vii) for an equity line of credit or an at-the-market offering of securities, (viii) a Block Trade or (ix) an Other Coordinated Offering,
then AMAN shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but
not less than five (5) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering
pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such
offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of
distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the
Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such
Holders may request in writing within seven (7) days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback
Registration”); provided, in the case of an “overnight” or “bought” offering, such requests must be
made by the Holders within two (2) Business Days after delivery of any such notice by AMAN; provided further that if AMAN has been advised
in writing by the managing Underwriter(s) that the inclusion of Registrable Securities for sale for the benefit of the Holders will have
an adverse effect on the price, timing, or distribution of AMAN Shares in an Underwritten Offering, then (1) if no Registrable Securities
can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the managing Underwriter(s), AMAN shall not be required to offer such opportunity
to such Holders or (2) if any Registrable Securities can be included in the Underwritten Offering in the opinion of the managing Underwriter(s),
then the amount of Registrable Securities to be offered for the accounts of Holders shall be determined based on the provisions of Section
2.2.2. Subject to the foregoing proviso and to Section 2.2.2, AMAN shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities
to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing
Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this
Section 2.2.1 to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of AMAN included in such registered
offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution
thereof. The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder agreement
to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering.
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 AMAN and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that the
dollar amount or number of AMAN Shares or other equity securities that AMAN desires to sell, taken together with (i) the AMAN Shares or
other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual
arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to
which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the AMAN Shares or other equity securities, if any, as
to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights
of persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:
(a) if
the Registration or registered offering is undertaken for AMAN's account, AMAN shall include in any such Registration or registered offering
(A) first, the AMAN Shares or other equity securities that AMAN 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 register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1, pro
rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering
and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, 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), the AMAN Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration
or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of persons or entities
other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;
8
(b) if
the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a demand by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities,
then AMAN shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the AMAN Shares 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 register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1,
pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering
and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, 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), the AMAN Shares or other equity securities that AMAN 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), the AMAN Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration
or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of persons or entities
other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and
(c) if
the Registration or registered offering and Underwritten Offering is pursuant to a request by Holder(s) of Registrable Securities pursuant
to Section 2.1 hereof, then AMAN shall include in any such Registration or registered offering securities in the priority set forth in
Section 2.1.5.
2.2.3 Piggyback
Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdraw from an Underwritten
Offering, and related obligations, shall be governed by Section 2.1.6) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration
for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to AMAN 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, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the filing of the applicable
“red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction.
AMAN (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
(which, in no circumstance, shall include a Shelf) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than Section 2.1.6), AMAN shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred
in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.3.
9
2.2.4 Unlimited
Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, subject to Section 2.1.6, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant
to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Offering under Section 2.1.4 hereof.
2.3 Market
Stand-off. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of AMAN (other than a Block Trade or Other Coordinated
Offering) in which the Holder participates, if requested by the managing Underwriters, each such Holder that is (a) an executive officer,
(b) a director or (c) Holder in excess of ten percent (10%) of the outstanding AMAN Shares (and for which it is customary for such a Holder
to agree to a lock-up) agrees that it shall not Transfer any AMAN Shares or other equity securities of AMAN (other than those included
in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of AMAN, during the ninety (90)-day period (or such shorter
time agreed to by the managing Underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering, except as expressly permitted by such
lock-up agreement or in the event the managing Underwriters otherwise agree by written consent. Each such Holder agrees to execute a customary
lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such
Holders).
2.4 Block
Trades; Other Coordinated Offerings.
2.4.1 Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Article II, but subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective
Shelf is on file with the Commission, at any time and from time to time following the expiration of the Lock-up Period (if applicable),
if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in (a) an underwritten registered offering not involving a “roadshow”, an offer commonly
known as a “block trade” (a “Block Trade”) , or (b) an “at the market” or similar registered offering
through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal (an “Other Coordinated Offering”),
in each case, (x) with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate or (y) with respect to all remaining
Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder, then such Demanding Holder shall notify AMAN of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated
Offering at least five (5) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and AMAN shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; provided that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the
Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
work with AMAN and any Underwriters, brokers, sales agents or placement agents prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation
of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.
2.4.2 Prior
to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or
Other Coordinated Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering
shall have the right to submit a Withdrawal Notice to AMAN, the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) and any brokers, sales agents or
placement agents (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, AMAN shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Block Trade or
Other Coordinated Offering prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 2.2 shall not apply to a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering initiated
by a Demanding Holder pursuant to this Agreement.
2.4.4 The
Demanding Holder in a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to select the Underwriters and any brokers, sales
agents or placement agents (if any) for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering (in each case, which shall consist of one or more
reputable nationally recognized investment banks).
2.4.5 The
(i) Sponsor may demand no more than two (2) Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.4 in any twelve (12)
month period, and (ii) Corxel Cayman, may demand no more than four (4) Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings pursuant to this Section
2.4 in any twelve (12) month period. For the avoidance of doubt, any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering effected pursuant to this
Section 2.4 shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4 hereof.

AMAN PROCEDURES
3.1 General
Procedures. If at any time AMAN is required to effect the Registration of Registrable Securities hereunder, AMAN shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended plan
of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto AMAN shall:
3.1.1 prepare
and file with the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and

Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration
Statement or have ceased to be Registrable Securities;
3.1.2 prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the

applicable to the registration form used by AMAN or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration

further, that AMAN shall have no obligation to furnish any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to
the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”);
3.1.4 prior
to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States
as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may
request (or provide evidence satisfactory to such Holders that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or qualification)
and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or
approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of AMAN and do any and all
other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration
Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that AMAN
shall not be required to qualify generally to do business or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise
be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then otherwise so subject;

3.1.7 advise
each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any
stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal
if such stop order should be issued;
3.1.8 notify
the selling Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4;
3.1.9 in
the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering, or sale by a broker, placement agent or sales agent
pursuant to such Registration, in each of the following cases to the extent customary for a transaction of its type, permit a representative
of the Holders, the Underwriters or other financial institutions facilitating such Underwritten Offering, Block Trade, Other Coordinated
Offering or other sale pursuant to such Registration, if any, and any attorney, consultant or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter
to participate, at each such person’s or entity’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause
AMAN's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, financial
institution, attorney, consultant or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives, Underwriters
or financial institutions agree to confidentiality arrangements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to AMAN, prior to the release
or disclosure of any such information;
3.1.10 obtain
a “cold comfort” letter (including a bring-down letter dated as of the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale

Trade pursuant to such Registration (subject to such placement agent or sales agent providing such certification or representation reasonably
requested by AMAN's independent registered public accountants and AMAN's counsel) in customary form and covering such matters of the type

letter, dated such date, of counsel representing AMAN for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the participating Holders, the
broker, placement agents or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration

or sales agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering or sale;
3.1.13 make
available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12)
months beginning with the first day of AMAN's first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which
satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule then in effect), which
requirement will be deemed satisfied if AMAN timely files Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K as may be required to be filed under the Exchange
Act and otherwise complies with Rule 158 under the Securities Act;
3.1.14 with
respect to an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available senior
executives of AMAN to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter

in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the participating Holders,
consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with such Registration.
12
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
AMAN shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent if such Underwriter,
broker, sales agent or placement agent has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other offering
involving a registration as an Underwriter, broker, sales agent or placement agent, as applicable.
3.2 Registration
Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by AMAN. 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 fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.
3.3 Requirements
for Participation in Registration Statement and Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
if any Holder does not provide AMAN with its requested Holder Information, AMAN may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities
from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if AMAN determines, based on the advice of counsel, that it is necessary or advisable
to include such information in the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such
information. In addition, no person or entity may participate in any Underwritten Offering or other offering for equity securities of
AMAN pursuant to a Registration initiated by AMAN hereunder unless such person or entity (i) agrees to sell such person’s or entity’s
securities on the basis provided in any underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements approved by AMAN and (ii) completes
and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting or other agreements and other
customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements
provided that such Holder shall only be subject to the restrictions set forth in any such lock-up agreements if the directors and officers
of AMAN are subject to a lock-up obligation to the Underwriters managing the offering and the length of such lock-up for such Holder shall
be no longer than the shortest lock-up of any such directors and officers; provided, further, that if AMAN or the Underwriters managing
the offering waive or shorten the lock-up period for any of AMAN's officers, directors or stockholders, then (i) all Holders subject to
such lock-up shall receive notice of such waiver or modification no later than two (2) Business Days following such waiver or modification,
and (ii) such lock-up will be similarly waived pro rata or shortened for each such Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, the exclusion of
a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities
to be included in such Registration.
3.4 Suspension
of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights.
3.4.1 Upon
receipt of written notice from AMAN that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the
Misstatement (it being understood that AMAN hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as reasonably practicable
after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by AMAN that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.
3.4.2 Subject
to Section 3.4.4, if the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration
at any time would (a) require AMAN to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial
statements that are unavailable to AMAN, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the AMAN Board such Registration, be seriously
detrimental to AMAN and the majority of the AMAN Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing, initial effectiveness
or continued use at such time, AMAN may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders (which notice shall not specify
the nature of the event giving rise to such delay or suspension), delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such
Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by AMAN to be necessary for such purpose. In the event
AMAN exercises its rights under this Section 3.4.2, 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
until such Holder receives written notice from AMAN that such sales or offers of Registrable Securities may be resumed, and in each case
maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents.
13
3.4.3 Subject
to Section 3.4.4, (a) during the period starting with the date thirty (30) days prior to AMAN's good faith estimate of the date
of the filing of, and ending on a date ninety (90) days after the effective date of, a AMAN-initiated Registration and provided that AMAN
continues to actively employ, in good faith, all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Shelf
Registration, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering and AMAN and Holders are unable to
obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, AMAN may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to
the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Section 2.1.4 or 2.4.
3.4.4 The
right to delay or suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.4.2
or a registered offering pursuant to Section 3.4.3 shall be exercised by AMAN, in the aggregate, on not more than two (2) occasions
or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or for more than ninety (90) calendar days in the aggregate, during any twelve
(12)-month period.
3.5 Reporting
Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, AMAN, 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 AMAN after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the
Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; provided that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission
pursuant to EDGAR shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this Section 3.5. AMAN further covenants
that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such
Holder to sell AMAN Shares 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 then in effect). Upon the request of any Holder, AMAN shall deliver
to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
3.6 Restrictive
Legend Removal.
3.6.1 At
any time and from time to time in connection with a bona-fide sale of Registrable Securities effected in compliance with the requirements
of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or through any broker-dealer sale transactions described in the plan of distribution set forth within
any prospectus and pursuant to the Registration Statement of which such prospectus forms a part, AMAN shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts, subject to the receipt of customary documentation required from the holder of the applicable Registrable Securities and broker
in connection therewith and compliance with applicable laws, (i) promptly instruct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends
applicable to the Registrable Securities being sold and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any,
to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i). AMAN shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent,
its legal counsel (including for purposes of giving the opinion referenced herein) and all DTC fees associated with such issuance and
the Holder shall be responsible for its fees or costs associated with such removal of such restrictive legends (including its legal fees
or costs of its legal counsel).
3.6.2 With
a view to making available to each Holder of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 that permit the Holder to sell securities
of AMAN to the public without registration, AMAN agrees, for so long as any Holder holds Registrable Securities, to:
(a) use
commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
and
(b) use
commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of AMAN under
the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as AMAN remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other
documents as may be required pursuant to the applicable provisions of Rule 144.

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
4.1 Indemnification.
4.1.1 AMAN
agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each
person or entity who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any
untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference 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 not misleading (in the case of a Prospectus, in light of the circumstances
in which they were made), except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing
to AMAN by such Holder expressly for use therein.
4.1.2 In
connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish (or
cause to be furnished) to AMAN in writing such information and affidavits as AMAN reasonably requests for use in connection with any such
Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify
AMAN, its directors, officers and agents and each person or entity who controls AMAN (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
and documented outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated
by reference 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 not misleading
(in the case of a Prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made), but only to the extent that such untrue statement
is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf
of 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 or entity 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 AMAN.
4.1.3 Any
person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect
to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s
right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in
such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist
with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made
by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). 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
one local counsel if necessary in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party
with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified
party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified
party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money
(and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement
or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which 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.
4.1.4 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 or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the
transfer of securities. AMAN and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions
as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event AMAN's or such Holder’s indemnification
is unavailable for any reason.
15
4.1.5 If
the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and documented out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying
party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and documented out-of-pocket 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 reference to, among other things, whether any action in question,
including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made
by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by in the case of an omission),
such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this
Section 4.1.5 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 Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket 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 Section 4.1.5 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 Section 4.1.5. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 from any
person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.2.1 This
Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of AMAN hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by AMAN in whole or in part.
5.2.2 Subject
to Section 5.2.4 and Section 5.2.5, this Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of a Holder hereunder may be assigned
in whole or in part to such Holder’s Permitted Transferees to which it transfers Registrable Securities; provided that with respect
to Corxel Cayman, the Sponsor, and the AMAN Existing Investors, the rights hereunder that are personal to such Holders may not be assigned
or delegated in whole or in part, except that each of the Holders shall be permitted to transfer its rights hereunder to one or more affiliates
or any direct or indirect partners, members or equity holders of such Holder, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include a transfer
of its rights in connection with a distribution of any Registrable Securities held by such Holder to its shareholders or members (it being
understood that no such transfer shall reduce or multiply any rights of such Holder or such transferees). Following any dividend, distribution,
exchange or redemption pursuant to which Corxel Cayman transfers Registrable Securities to one or more of its shareholders, the rights
of Corxel Cayman hereunder that are personal to Corxel Cayman (including under Sections 2.1.3, 2.1.4 and 2.4) may be exercised on behalf
of all Distributees by Distributees holding a majority of the Registrable Securities so distributed (determined at the time of exercise),
and references to Corxel Cayman in such Sections shall be construed accordingly.
5.2.3 This
Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties and its successors and
the permitted assigns of the Holders, which shall include Permitted Transferees.
16
5.2.4 This

forth in this Agreement.
5.2.5 No
assignment by any party hereto of such party’s rights, duties and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon or obligate AMAN unless

may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement, including the joinder in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto). Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in this Section 5.2 shall be null and void.
5.3 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by
different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts
so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
5.4 Governing
Law; Venue. This Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement (whether
based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Agreement,
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts
of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state. The parties agree that all disputes, legal actions,
suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement must be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware (or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), or, if
it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (collectively the “Designated
Courts”). Each party hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Designated Courts. No legal action, suit
or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in any other forum. Each party hereby irrevocably waives all claims of immunity
from jurisdiction, and any objection which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
in any Designated Court, including any right to object on the basis that any dispute, action, suit or proceeding brought in the Designated
Courts has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum or venue. Each of the parties also agrees that delivery of any process, summons,
notice or document to a party hereof in compliance with Section 5.1 of this Agreement shall be effective service of process for any action,
suit or proceeding in a Designated Court with respect to any matters to which the parties have submitted to jurisdiction as set forth
above.
5.5 TRIAL
BY JURY. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OR
RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY
ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER SUCH PARTY, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE.
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING,
THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM
OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF.
THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.
5.6 Amendments
and Modifications. Upon the written consent of (a) AMAN and (b) the Holders of a majority of the total Registrable Securities, compliance
with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or
conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver
hereof shall also require the written consent of Corxel Cayman (or, following any dividend, distribution, exchange or redemption pursuant
to which Corxel Cayman transfers Registrable Securities to one or more of its shareholders, of Distributees holding a majority of the
Registrable Securities so distributed), for so long as Corxel Cayman and its affiliates (or the Distributees, collectively) hold, in the
aggregate, Registrable Securities representing at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding AMAN Shares; and provided, further, that
any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock
of AMAN, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so
affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or AMAN and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or
AMAN in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or AMAN.
No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise
of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.
17
5.7 Other
Registration Rights. Other than as provided in the (i) Private Placement Shares Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2026, between
AMAN and the Sponsor and (ii) any subscription agreement entered into by AMAN and the investors party thereto in connection with a PIPE
Investment, AMAN represents and warrants that no person or entity, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require
AMAN to register any securities of AMAN for sale or to include such securities of AMAN in any Registration Statement filed by AMAN for
the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person or entity. AMAN hereby agrees and covenants that it
will not grant rights to register any AMAN Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for AMAN Shares) pursuant to the Securities
Act that are more favorable, pari passu or senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder without (a) the prior written consent of Corxel
Cayman (or, following any dividend, distribution, exchange or redemption pursuant to which Corxel Cayman transfers Registrable Securities
to one or more of its shareholders, of Distributees holding a majority of the Registrable Securities so distributed), for so long as Corxel
Cayman and its affiliates (or the Distributees, collectively) hold, in the aggregate, Registrable Securities representing at least five
percent (5%) of the outstanding AMAN Shares or (b) granting economically and legally equivalent rights to the Holders hereunder such that
the Holders shall receive the benefit of such more favorable or senior terms and/or conditions. Further, AMAN represents and warrants
that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event
of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
5.8 Term.
This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement and (b) with respect to
any Holder, on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The provisions of Sections 3.5 and Article IV shall
survive any termination.
5.9 Holder
Information. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to AMAN the total number of Registrable Securities held by
such Holder in order for AMAN to make determinations hereunder.
5.10 Severability.
It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the
laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this
Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision,
as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity
or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction,
it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting
the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
5.11 Entire
Agreement; Restatement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter. Upon the Closing,
the Original RRA shall no longer be of any force or effect.
5.12 Adjustments.
If, and as often as, there are any changes in the Registrable Securities by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification,
or through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or sale, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made
in the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue
with respect to the Registrable Securities as so changed.

commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to, process any Transfer permitted pursuant to paragraph 3, including any

respect to the Lock-up Securities during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Lock-up Securities that are entitled to vote.
5. In furtherance of the foregoing, PubCo, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or
transfer of the securities described therein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would
constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement, and such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio. In addition,
during the Lock-Up Period, each certificate or book-entry position evidencing the Lock-Up Securities shall be marked with a legend in
substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY
ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES
(OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SECURITIES). A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO
THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”
6. PubCo represents that it has not entered into any side letter or agreement with any Holder which provides
any rights or benefits to such Holder that are more favorable to such Holder than the rights and benefits in this Agreement
and will not enter into any such side letter or agreement unless such rights and benefits are also offered to other Holders. PubCo agrees
that this Agreement shall not be amended or modified, and no terms or conditions thereof waived, in a manner that benefits any Holder,
unless the terms of such amendment, modification or waiver is also offered to the other Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, the exceptions
set forth in paragraph 3 and the processing of Transfers permitted thereby pursuant to paragraph 4 shall not be deemed to provide rights
or benefits to any Holder that are required to be offered to any other Holder.
4
7. Notwithstanding the other provisions set forth herein, PubCo’s board of directors may, in its sole
discretion, determine to waive, amend, or repeal the restrictions set forth in paragraph 1 above, whether in whole or in part; provided,
that any such waiver, amendment or repeal shall (i) not make such restrictions more restrictive or apply for a longer period of time,
and (ii) apply to each Holder.
8. This Agreement, together with the agreements referenced herein, sets forth the entire agreement of the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements
related thereto (whether written or oral), all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement or any of the agreements referenced
herein may be explained or qualified by any agreement, negotiations, understanding, discussion, conduct or course of conduct or by any
trade usage. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein or in any of the agreements referenced herein, there is no condition precedent
to the effectiveness of any provision hereof or thereof.
9. Sections 8.2 (Entire Agreement; Assignment), 8.3 (Amendment), 8.5 (Governing Law),
8.10 (Severability), 8.11 (Counterparts; Electronic Signatures), 8.13 (No Recourse), 8.15 (Waiver of Jury Trial)

Original Issue Date: [●], 20[ ]
[NEW PUBCO NAME], a Delaware
corporation (formerly known as Amanat Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company, prior to its domestication as a Delaware corporation)
(the “Company”), hereby certifies that, pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of [●],
2026 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and
among the Company, [Merger Sub], Corxel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Corxel Pharmaceuticals Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Corxel

particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as
mutually determined by the Company and the Holder. If the Company and the Holder are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such
security, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall use its good faith judgment to determine the fair market value. The Board of
Directors’ determination shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. All such determinations shall be appropriately

any exchange or redemption arrangement and whether effected in one or more transactions, and (b) any subsequent distribution or other

any investment fund, vehicle or account managed or advised by the same investment manager or adviser as such Distributee or other Holder
(or by an Affiliate thereof) or to any of its or their direct or indirect equityholders (including shareholders, members and partners)
in their capacities as such, and if such transfer is made within the Lock-up Period, the subsequent Distributee enters into a joinder

the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial
Holder or, as the case may be, any assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder) from time to time. The Company may
deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution
to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Transfer
and Assignment.
(a) Subject
only to applicable securities laws and, to the extent the Holder is then party thereto or bound thereby, the Lock-Up Agreement and the
Investor Rights Agreement, this Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby may be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, by delivery
to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a duly completed instrument of assignment substantially in the form attached as Schedule 2. No
consent of the Company shall be required for any transfer or assignment of this Warrant, and no opinion of counsel or other deliverable
(other than such instrument of assignment and a joinder executed by the applicable transferee) shall be required for any Permitted Distribution.
(b) Upon
a permitted transfer, the Company shall promptly register the transfer in the Warrant Register (and in any event within two Trading Days
after receipt of the applicable instrument of assignment) and issue a new warrant to the transferee in substantially the form of this
Warrant for the portion transferred and, if applicable, issue to the transferring Holder a new warrant for the untransferred balance,
each of which shall be dated, and deemed issued as of, the Original Issue Date. The Company shall bear its administrative costs of any
such issuance, but the transferring Holder shall be responsible for any transfer taxes arising from a transfer to a Person other than
an Affiliate or in a Permitted Distribution.
(c) Any
transferee accepting a Warrant shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to the terms of this Warrant. Any registration rights with
respect to the Warrant Shares shall be governed exclusively by the Investor Rights Agreement assuming the Transferee has executed a joinder
as required therein.
3
4. Exercise
of Warrants.
(a) All
or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in any manner permitted by this Warrant (including Section
11) at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date, and such rights shall not expire until exercised in full.
(b) The
Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1 hereto
(the “Exercise Notice”), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant
Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the
Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date on which the last of such items is delivered to the Company
(as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required
to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. The Exercise Notice may be delivered by e-mail (including as
a .pdf attachment) in accordance with Section 13, and no ink-original Exercise Notice, and no medallion guarantee or other guarantee or
notarization of any Exercise Notice, shall be required. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation
of the original Warrant and issuance of a new warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares, if any.
(c) The
Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this section, following
the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given
time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
5. Delivery
of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement
Period following the Exercise Date), upon the request of the Holder, cause the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice and to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise (the “Exercise
Shares”) to (i) the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”)
through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian system or (ii) in book-entry form via a direct registration system maintained by or on behalf
of the Transfer Agent, in each case, so long as either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the
Warrant Shares to or the resale of such Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Exercise Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder
without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (assuming cashless exercise of
this Warrant). If (A) and (B) above are not true, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to either (i) record the Exercise Shares
in the name of the Holder or its designee on the certificates reflecting the Exercise Shares with an appropriate legend regarding restriction
on transferability, which shall be issued and dispatched by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, and
on the Company’s share register or (ii) issue such Exercise Shares in the name of the Holder or its designee in restricted book-entry
form in the Company’s share register. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be
deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares
are credited to the Holder’s DTC account, the date of the book entry positions or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing
such Exercise Shares, as the case may be.
4
(b) In
addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver to the Holder or its
designee Exercise Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a) within the Standard Settlement Period following the Exercise
Date (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by Holder to the Company) and the Holder or the Holder’s
broker on its behalf purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”) but did
not receive within the Standard Settlement Period, then the Company shall, within two Trading Days after the Holder’s request, (x)
at the Holder’s election in its sole discretion, either (1) reinstate the portion of this Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant
Shares for which such exercise was not timely honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or (2) promptly honor its
obligation to deliver to the Holder or its designee the Exercise Shares pursuant to Section 5(a), and (y) pay cash to the Holder
in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the
shares of Common Stock so purchased in the Buy-In, less the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Buy-In,
times (B) the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice
promptly after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In together with applicable
confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company.
(c) To
the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 5(b), the Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in
accordance with and subject to the terms hereof (including the limitations set forth in Section 11 below) are absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof,
the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation
or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or
alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such
obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Subject to Section 5(b), nothing herein
shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation,
a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Exercise Shares;
provided, however, that the Holder shall not be entitled to both (i) require the Company to reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent
number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not timely honored and (ii) receive the number of shares of Common Stock that would
have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 5(a).
6. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Exercise Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or
transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense (excluding any applicable stamp duties) in respect of the issuance
of such shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any Warrant Shares or the Warrants in a
name other than that of the Holder, an Affiliate thereof or a transferee in a Permitted Distribution. The Holder shall be responsible
for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise
hereof.
7. Replacement
of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange
and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a new warrant, but only upon receipt
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction (in such case) and, in each case, a customary and
reasonable contractual indemnity, if requested by the Company. If a new warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant,
then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue
the new warrant.
5
8. Reservation
of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will, at all times while this Warrant is outstanding, reserve and keep available
out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue
Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are initially issuable and deliverable
upon the exercise of this entire Warrant (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth in Section 11), free from preemptive
rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions
of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of
the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable.
The Company will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided
herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation
system upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company shall, at its expense, cause the Warrant Shares to be approved for listing
on the Principal Trading Market (subject to official notice of issuance) no later than the Original Issue Date and shall maintain such
listing for so long as the Common Stock is listed thereon. The Company further covenants that it will not, without the prior written consent
of the Holder, take any actions to increase the par value of the Common Stock at any time while this Warrant is outstanding.
9. Certain
Adjustments. The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Number of Warrant Shares”)
is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock
or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock issued and outstanding on the Original Issue Date and in accordance with
the terms of such stock on the Original Issue Date or as amended, that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of capital stock any additional shares of Common Stock of
the Company, then in each such case the Number of Warrant Shares shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective
immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, provided, however,
that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid on the date fixed therefor, the Number of Warrant Shares
shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted
pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends. Any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of
this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or issuance.
6
(b) Pro
Rata Distributions. If, on or after the Original Issue Date, the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other pro rata distribution
of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including,
without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property, options, evidence of indebtedness or any other assets
by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction, but, for
the avoidance of doubt, excluding any distribution of shares of Common Stock subject to Section 9(a), any distribution of Purchase
Rights (as defined below) subject to Section 9(c) and any Fundamental Transaction (as defined below) subject to Section 9(d))
(a “Company Distribution”) then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Company Distribution
to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable
upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without
limitation, the Maximum Percentage (as defined below)) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for such Company Distribution,
or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation
in such Company Distribution; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Company
Distribution would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not
be entitled to participate in such Company Distribution to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares
of Common Stock as a result of such Company Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Company Distribution shall be held in
abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution
Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such Company Distribution (and any Company
Distributions declared or made on such initial Company Distribution or on any subsequent Company Distribution held similarly in abeyance)
to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.
(c) Purchase
Rights. If at any time on or after the Original Issue Date, the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities
or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property, in each case pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common
Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase
Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock
acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including
without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of
such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for
the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights; provided, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate
in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder
shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such
Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to such extent) and at the Holder’s election, in its
sole discretion, either (1) such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time
or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which
time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or
on any subsequent Purchase Right to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation or (2) the
Company shall offer the Holder the right upon exercise of such Purchase Right to acquire a security (e.g. a pre-funded warrant) that would
not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage but will otherwise to the extent possible
have economic and other rights, preferences and privileges substantially consistent and on par with the securities or other property issuable
upon exercise of the originally offered Purchase Rights. As used in this Section 9(c), (i) “Options” means any rights,
warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities and (ii) “Convertible Securities”
mean any stock or securities (other than Options) directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of
Common Stock.
7
(d) Fundamental
Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company
with or into another Person, in which the Company is not the surviving entity or in which the stockholders of the Company immediately
prior to such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately
after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the Company effects any sale to another Person of all or substantially all of its assets in one
or a series of related transactions, (iii) pursuant to any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person),
holders of capital stock tender shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company and the Company
or such other Person, as applicable, accepts such tender for payment, (iv) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other
business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another
Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company (except for any such transaction
in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction maintain, in substantially the same proportions, the voting
power of such Person immediately after the transaction) or (v) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory
share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other
than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a
“Fundamental Transaction”), then following such Fundamental Transaction the Holder shall have the right to receive,
upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon
the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number
of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (including any Company Distributions or Purchase Rights then held
in abeyance pursuant to Sections 9(b) or 9(c) above) without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein (the
“Alternate Consideration”) provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, neither (A) the domestication of the
Company from a Cayman Islands exempted company to a Delaware corporation in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement nor (B) the acquisition by the Company of Corxel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. pursuant to the business combination agreement
entered into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, shall constitute a Fundamental Transaction for purposes of this Warrant.
If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then
the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such
Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall not effect any Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity or
the Alternate Consideration includes securities of another Person unless (i) the Alternate Consideration is solely cash and the Company
provides for the simultaneous “cashless exercise” of this Warrant pursuant to Section 10 below or (ii) prior to or
simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or other Person (including any purchaser
of assets of the Company) shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the
foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this paragraph
(d) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions analogous to a Fundamental Transaction type.
(e) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 9 shall be to the nearest share.
(f) Notice
of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will, at the
written request of the Holder, promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare
a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail
the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate
to the Holder and to the Transfer Agent.
8
(g) Notice
of Corporate Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash,
securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating
or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such transaction at least ten days prior to
the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect
to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of
the corporate action required to be described in such notice. In addition, if while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company authorizes
or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction contemplated by
Section 9(d), other than a Fundamental Transaction under clause (iii) of Section 9(d), the Company shall deliver to the
Holder a notice of such Fundamental Transaction at least 30 days prior to the date such Fundamental Transaction is consummated. To the
extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material non-public information regarding the Company, the Company
shall publicly disclose such information (by press release or in a Current Report on Form 8-K) no later than the time such notice is delivered
to the Holder, unless the Holder has agreed in writing in advance to receive such information on a confidential basis.
10. Payment
of Exercise Price. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, satisfy
its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise”, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder
the number of Warrant Shares in an exchange of securities effected pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, determined as follows:
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
“X” equals the number
of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
“Y” equals
the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised;
“A”
equals the Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock (as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets) as of the Trading Day on
the date immediately preceding the Exercise Date; and
“B”
equals the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a “cashless exercise” transaction
shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced,
on the Original Issue Date (provided that the Commission continues to take the position that such treatment is proper at the time of such
exercise). In the event that a registration statement registering the issuance of Warrant Shares is, for any reason, not effective at
the time of exercise of this Warrant, then this Warrant may only be exercised through a cashless exercise, as set forth in this Section
10. If the Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, in accordance with Section
3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Exercise Shares issued in such exercise may be tacked on to the holding period of the Warrants being
exercised, subject to applicable requirements of Rule 144. The Company shall not take any position contrary to the foregoing. Except as
set forth in Section 5(b) (Buy-In Remedy) and Section 12 (No Fractional Shares), in no event will the exercise of this Warrant
be settled in cash.
9
11. Limitations
on Exercise.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder of
this Warrant shall not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrant, and any such exercise shall be null and void ab initio and
treated as if the exercise had not been made, to the extent that immediately prior to or following such exercise, the Holder, together
with the Attribution Parties, beneficially owns or would beneficially own as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, in excess of 9.99% (or, if so elected by the Holder by written notice to the Company delivered
on or before the Original Issue Date or, in the case of any transferee, in the applicable instrument of assignment, 4.99%) (the “Maximum
Percentage”) of the Common Stock that would be issued and outstanding following such exercise. For purposes of calculating beneficial
ownership for determining whether the Maximum Percentage is or will be exceeded, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held and/or
beneficially owned by the Holder together with the Attribution Parties, shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held and/or
beneficially owned by the Holder together with the Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the relevant Warrant with respect to which the determination is being made but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which
would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, unexercised Warrant held and/or beneficially owned by the Holder or the Attribution
Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company held and/or beneficially
owned by such Holder or any Attribution Party (including, without limitation, any convertible notes, convertible stock or warrants) that
are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. For purposes of this Section 11(a),
beneficial ownership of the Holder or the Attribution Parties shall, except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, be calculated
and determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Warrant,
in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder of this Warrant may rely on the number of outstanding shares
of Common Stock as reflected in (1) the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing
with the Commission, as the case may be, (2) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (3) any other notice by the Company or
the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (such issued and outstanding shares, the “Reported
Outstanding Share Number”). For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within
one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.
The Holder shall be solely responsible for determining whether, and to what extent, the limitation contained in this Section 11(a) applies;
the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination that the exercise thereunder complies with
this Section 11(a); and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. If the Company receives
an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding
Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the
extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, beneficial ownership,
as determined pursuant to this Section 11(a), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced
number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the
“Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise
price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after
giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and the Attribution Parties
since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Common Stock to the Holder
upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder, together with the Attribution Parties, being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate,
more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s, together with the Attribution Parties’, aggregate beneficial ownership
exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio,
and the Holder and/or the Attribution Parties shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably
practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise
price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Any Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is not exercised by reason of this Section 11
(including any Reduction Shares and Excess Shares) shall remain subject to this Warrant, this Warrant shall remain outstanding and exercisable
with respect to such Warrant Shares in accordance with its terms, and no exercise or attempted exercise that is limited or deemed null
and void by reason of this Section 11 shall cause this Warrant or any portion hereof to lapse, terminate or be cancelled. By written notice
to the Company, a Holder of this Warrant may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not
in excess of 19.99% specified in such notice; provided that (i) any increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the
61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company, (ii) any decrease in the Maximum Percentage will be effective immediately upon
delivery of such notice to the Company, (iii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder delivering such notice and not
to any other holder of a warrant issued upon transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant (whose Maximum Percentage shall be 9.99%,
or such lower percentage as it elects under this Section 11(a), unless and until changed by it in accordance with this sentence) and (iv)
no such change shall negatively affect any partial exercise effected prior to such change.
10
(b) This
Section 11 shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder or the Attribution Parties may receive or beneficially
own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder or the Attribution Parties may receive in the
event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9(d) of this Warrant. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned
by the Holder or the Attribution Parties for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated
thereunder or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, including Rule 16a-1(a)(1). No prior inability to exercise
this Warrant pursuant to this Section 11 shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Section 11 with respect
to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this Section 11 shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise
than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 11 to the extent necessary to correct this Section 11 or any portion thereof
which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 11 or to make
changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this Section 11
may not be waived or amended (whether pursuant to Section 15(d) or otherwise) other than by an increase or decrease of the Maximum Percentage
effected in accordance with Section 11(a), and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. Nothing in this Section 11 or in the
definition of Attribution Parties shall constitute an admission by the Holder or any other Person that it is the beneficial owner of any
securities held by any other Person or that it is a member of a Group with any other Person.
12. No
Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any
fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the next whole
number and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the fair market value (based on the Closing Sale Price) for any such fractional shares.
13. Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing
and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
via confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address specified in this Section 13 prior to 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on a Trading Day, (ii)
the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via confirmed e-mail at the e-mail address
specified in this Section 13 on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 P.M., New York City time, on any Trading Day, (iii)
the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service specifying next business day
delivery, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Person to whom such notice is required to be given, if by hand delivery. Notices to the Company
shall be addressed to [NEW PUBCO NAME], [address], Attention: [●], e-mail: [●] (with a copy, which shall not constitute notice,
to [●]), or to such other address or e-mail address as the Company may specify by written notice to the Holder. Notices to the Holder
shall be addressed to the address or e-mail address of the Holder set forth in the Warrant Register (or, if more recent, in the Holder’s
most recent Exercise Notice or instrument of assignment), or to such other address or e-mail address as the Holder may specify by written
notice to the Company.
11
14. Warrant
Agent. The Company shall initially serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company
may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting
from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new
warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent
under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant
agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
15. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as a
Stockholder. Except as otherwise set forth in this Warrant, the Holder, solely in such Person’s capacity as a holder of
this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of capital stock of the Company for any
purpose (except to the extent the Holder is deemed a holder of the Warrant Shares for tax purposes under applicable tax law), nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in such Person’s
capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold
consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger,
amalgamation, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to
the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which such Person is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this
Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any
securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by
the Company or by creditors of the Company.
(b) Further
Assurances. Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without
limitation, amending its certificate or articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger,
dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of
the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor
upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order
that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c)
use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction
thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Before taking any action which would
result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations
or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
12
(c) Successors
and Assigns. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not
be assigned by the Company without the written consent of the Holder, except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction.
This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and assigns. Subject
to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any
legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.
(d) Amendment
and Waiver. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder, or their successors and assigns. Except
as otherwise provided herein, the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed
by it, only if the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holder.
(e) Business
Combination Agreement; Other Agreements. This Warrant is issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. In the event of an
irreconcilable conflict between this Warrant and the Business Combination Agreement with respect to the number of Warrant Shares initially
issuable as merger consideration, the Business Combination Agreement shall control. Transfer restrictions and registration rights applicable
to this Warrant or the Warrant Shares shall be governed by this Warrant together with the Lock-Up Agreement and Investor Rights Agreement,
in each case to the extent the Holder is then party thereto or bound thereby.
(f) Governing
Law; Jurisdiction. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW
THEREOF. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE
OF DELAWARE (OR, IF THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE DECLINES TO ACCEPT OR LACKS JURISDICTION, THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE
STATE OF DELAWARE OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE), FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR
IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS
WARRANT), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY
SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS
AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL
OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PERSON AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE
SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY
ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
(g) Counterparts;
Electronic Signatures. This Warrant and any amendment, assignment or exercise notice may be executed in counterparts and by electronic
signature, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together constitute one instrument.
(h) Headings.
The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any
of the provisions hereof.
(i) Severability.
If any part or provision of this Warrant is held unenforceable or in conflict with the applicable laws or regulations of any jurisdiction,
the invalid or unenforceable part or provisions shall be replaced with a provision which accomplishes, to the extent possible, the original
business purpose of such part or provision in a valid and enforceable manner, and the remainder of this Warrant shall remain binding upon
the parties hereto.

oral small-molecule amylin receptor agonist.
● CX11
has demonstrated clinically meaningful weight loss and a generally favorable tolerability
profile across Phase 2 obesity studies in the United States. Following an End-of-Phase 2
meeting, Corxel US has aligned with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)
on key elements of CX11’s regulatory path and Phase 3 trial design.
● Institutional
investors have committed to a private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) of
approximately $300 million, with participation from new and existing investors including
RTW Investments, New Enterprise Associates (NEA), SR One, Mirae Asset Capital Life Science, HBM Healthcare
Investments (Cayman) Ltd., Nantahala Capital, Coastlands Capital, LifeSci Venture
Partners, Invus, TCGX, RA Capital Management, Propel Bio, SilverArc
Capital and a large healthcare mutual fund.
● Transaction
expected to provide approximately $377 million in gross proceeds (prior to the payment of
transaction costs and assuming no redemptions by Amanat shareholders).
● Business
combination expected to be completed in the first half of 2027. Proceeds expected to support
the company through 2029, including funding the planned global Phase 3 development program
for CX11 in obesity.
BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J. and WESTFIELD, N.J., October 26, 2026
— Corxel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Corxel US”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative
oral therapies for obesity and related cardiometabolic conditions, and Amanat Acquisition Corp (Nasdaq: AMAN) (“Amanat”),
a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, today announced they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement.
Upon completion of the proposed transaction, Corxel US will become
a wholly owned subsidiary of the combined public company. The combined public company is expected to operate under a new name and have
its common stock listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under a new ticker symbol, in each case to be announced before closing. The current
management of Corxel US is expected to continue leading Corxel US while a search for a U.S.-based Chief Executive Officer is underway.
A new Chief Executive Officer of the combined company is expected to be hired prior to or upon the closing of the transaction.
In addition to approximately $75 million
held in Amanat’s trust account, the transaction includes commitments for a concurrent, oversubscribed PIPE that is expected to
result in total gross proceeds of approximately $300 million, subject to adjustment pursuant to the reduction mechanism described
below. The PIPE includes participation from new and existing investors including RTW Investments, New Enterprise Associates (NEA),
SR One, Mirae Asset Capital Life Science, HBM Healthcare Investments (Cayman) Ltd., Nantahala Capital, Coastlands Capital, LifeSci
Venture Partners, Invus, TCGX, RA Capital Management, Propel Bio, SilverArc Capital and a large healthcare mutual fund. Certain
investors may receive pre-funded warrants in lieu of shares, priced at the per share price less the exercise price payable upon
exercise. Subject to specified conditions, PIPE investors may also reduce their respective subscription obligations on a one-for-one
basis by acquiring and not redeeming Amanat shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions prior to the
shareholder meeting, with a corresponding reduction in their respective purchase prices under the PIPE.
“This transaction represents another important milestone in Corxel
Group’s corporate evolution and reflects the significant progress we have made in building a globally competitive cardiometabolic
pipeline,” said Sandy Mou, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Corxel Group. “Corxel Group was built on the
belief that our most promising pipeline deserves the focus and resources to reach its full potential. We believe the proposed business
combination will mark Corxel US’s transition into an independent public company, positioning it to pursue its long-term growth strategy
with greater visibility and broader access to the public markets.”
Kevin Xie, Ph.D., Chief Financial Officer of Corxel US, added, “This
transaction represents an important step in establishing Corxel US as a publicly traded, obesity-focused biopharmaceutical company with
the capital strength and strategic flexibility to advance CX11 through global pivotal development. We believe CX11’s clinical profile,
including the weight loss and favorable tolerability observed across multiple studies, positions it as a potentially differentiated, next-generation
oral GLP-1 therapy. Following an End-of-Phase 2 meeting, we have aligned with the FDA on key elements of CX11’s regulatory path
and Phase 3 trial design, and we are preparing to advance CX11 into global pivotal Phase 3 trials. Together with CX12, CX11 provides the
foundation for an oral obesity franchise built to deliver meaningful benefits to a broad global patient population.”
Pavan Cheruvu, M.D., Chief Executive Officer and Director of Amanat,
added, “We established Amanat to identify compelling healthcare businesses that could benefit from our team’s operating, clinical,
and capital-markets experience. We believe Corxel US brings together an experienced global development team, a late-stage oral GLP-1 program
supported by a substantial clinical dataset, a favorable tolerability profile and a defined regulatory path, as well as an emerging oral
amylin program. We believe the proposed transaction can provide the resources and public-company platform needed to advance this portfolio
and create long-term value for patients and shareholders.”

Building a Differentiated Oral Obesity Franchise
Corxel US is advancing a portfolio of oral product candidates designed
to address important limitations of current injectable and oral obesity therapies and expand the number of patients who can access effective,
convenient, and scalable treatment options.
Its lead product candidate, CX11, is an investigational, once-daily,
oral small-molecule GLP-1 RA being developed for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and related cardiometabolic conditions. CX11 has been evaluated
across an extensive clinical development program in the United States and Asia and has demonstrated clinically meaningful weight loss
and a generally favorable tolerability profile.
In a U.S. Phase 2 obesity trial, CX11 achieved mean body-weight reduction
of up to 11.5% at Week 36 under the efficacy estimand. CX11 also demonstrated a generally favorable GI tolerability and safety profile
throughout the 36-week double-blind treatment period. Across the CX11 dosing cohorts, rates of nausea ranged from 33% to 34%, vomiting
from 12% to 16%, diarrhea from 4% to 12% and constipation from 2% to 12%. The most commonly reported adverse events were GI-related and
were generally mild to moderate in severity. No severe cases of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation were reported. GI adverse events
occurred primarily during dose escalation and gradually subsided during the maintenance period. The overall treatment-discontinuation
rate due to GI adverse events was 5.0%.
Following an End-of-Phase 2 meeting, Corxel US has aligned with the
FDA on key elements of CX11’s regulatory path and Phase 3 trial design and plans to advance CX11 into global Phase 3 development.
An ongoing Phase 1b study evaluating higher doses of CX11 is expected
to provide additional clinical data in the first half of 2027 and is intended to explore potential efficacy upside supported by the product
candidate’s pharmacokinetic and tolerability profile observed to date.
Corxel US is also developing CX12, an investigational oral small-molecule
amylin receptor agonist. Multiple lead candidates are currently under evaluation, with IND-enabling activities ongoing to target an investigational
new drug application for CX12 in the first half of 2027.

2029 and to fund the global Phase 3 development program for CX11 in obesity.

parent company of Corxel US, is expected to receive equity consideration in the combined company in the form of common stock and pre-funded

Risk Factors (1 of 11) Certain factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we and the post-business combination public company will face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be adversely affected. In that event, you could lose all or part of your investment. All references in this section to "we", "our" or "us" refer both to the business of Corxel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Corxel") prior to the consummation of the proposed business combination and to the business of the post-business combination public company and its subsidiaries, as applicable. The list below has been prepared solely for the purpose of the private placement transaction, and solely for potential private placement investors, and not for any other purpose. Accordingly, the list below is qualified in its entirety by disclosures contained in future documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by Corxel and Amanat Acquisition Corp ("AMAN") or otherwise with respect to Corxel and AMAN, including the documents filed or furnished in connection with the proposed transactions between Corxel and AMAN. The risks presented in such filings may differ significantly from and be more extensive than those presented below. Risks Related to Corxel's Business and Operations • Clinical and preclinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with uncertain timelines and outcomes. The results of prior clinical trials and preclinical studies are not necessarily predictive of future results, which may not be favorable. Our product candidates may not receive marketing approval on a timely basis, or at all. • We do not know whether we will be able to develop any products of commercial value. • We currently depend on the success of our clinical-stage product candidates, and the failure of any of these programs would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. • The marketing approval processes of the FDA and applicable foreign authorities are lengthy, time-consuming, expensive and inherently unpredictable, and if we are ultimately unable to obtain marketing approval for our product candidates, our business will be substantially harmed. • Any difficulties or delays in the commencement or completion, or termination or suspension, of our planned clinical trials could result in increased costs to us, delay or limit our ability to generate revenue and adversely affect our commercial prospects. • Enrollment and retention of patients in clinical trials is an expensive and time-consuming process and could be made more difficult or rendered impossible by multiple factors outside our control, which could adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. • Serious adverse events, undesirable side effects or other unexpected properties of our product candidates may be identified during development or after approval, which could lead to the discontinuation or failure of our clinical development programs, refusal by regulatory authorities to approve our product candidates or, if discovered following marketing approval, revocation of marketing authorizations or limitations on the use of our product candidates, any of which would limit the commercial potential of such product candidate. • Healthcare legislative reform measures may have a negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. • We may expend our limited resources to pursue a particular product candidate and fail to capitalize on product candidates or indications that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success. 34
Risk Factors (2 of 11) Risks Related to Corxel's Business and Operations (cont.) • We are conducting, and plan to conduct, some of our clinical trials outside of the United States. However, the FDA and other foreign equivalents may not accept data from such trials, in which case our development plans will be delayed, which could materially harm our business. • Preliminary, topline and interim data from our clinical trials that we announce or publish from time to time may change as more patient data become available and are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data. • Disruptions at the FDA and other government agencies caused by funding shortages, staffing limitations or global health concerns could hinder their ability to hire, retain or deploy key leadership and other personnel, or otherwise prevent new or modified products from being developed, approved or commercialized in a timely manner or at all, which could negatively impact our business. Risks Related to Corxel's Limited Operating History, Financial Position and Capital Requirements • We have a limited operating history and expect to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. • We may never generate any revenue from product sales. • Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our shareholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our product candidates. Risks Related to Corxel's Reliance on Third Parties • Our existing collaborations are critical to our business. If we are unable to maintain these collaborations, or if these collaborations are not successful, our business could be adversely affected. • We rely on third parties for the manufacture of our product candidates for preclinical and clinical development and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. This reliance on third parties increases the risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of our product candidates or products or such quantities at an acceptable cost, which could delay, prevent or impair our development or commercialization efforts. • We may not be able to successfully establish manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure to supply our requirements of product candidates for use in clinical trials and for commercial sale, and we may encounter difficulties successfully manufacturing our product candidates. • We currently source certain drug components from suppliers located in China. Although we believe alternative suppliers are available outside China, transitioning suppliers could require additional time, qualification work and expense and could disrupt our operations. • We intend to rely on third parties to conduct, supervise and monitor our preclinical studies and clinical trials. If those third parties do not satisfactorily carry out their contractual duties or fail to meet expected deadlines, our development programs may be delayed or subject to increased costs, each of which may have an adverse effect on our business and prospects. • If we or our collaborators do not achieve our product development or commercialization objectives in the time frames we expect, we may not receive milestone, royalty or profit payments, and we may not be able to conduct our operations as planned. • Reliance on third parties requires us to share our trade secrets, which increases the possibility that a competitor will discover them or that our trade secrets will be misappropriated or disclosed. 35
Risk Factors (3 of 11) Risks Related to Corxel's Reliance on Third Parties (cont.) • Confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties may not prevent unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information. • The manufacture of some of our product candidates is complex and we may encounter difficulties in production, particularly with respect to scaling up our manufacturing capabilities. If we encounter such difficulties, our ability to provide supply of those product candidates for commercialization and clinical trials could be delayed or stopped. Risks Related to Commercialization of Corxel's Product Candidates • Even if we receive marketing approval for any product candidate, we will be subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and continued regulatory review, which may result in significant additional expense. Additionally, our product candidates, if approved, could be subject to labeling and other restrictions on marketing or withdrawal from the market, and we may be subject to penalties if we fail to comply with regulatory requirements or if we experience unanticipated problems with our product candidates, when and if any of them are approved. • Even if our current or future product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve market acceptance by physicians, patients, third-party payors or others in the medical community necessary for commercial success. • Coverage and adequate reimbursement may not be available for our current or any future product candidates, which could make it difficult for us to sell profitably, if approved. • We face substantial competition, which may result in others discovering, developing or commercializing products before or more successfully than us. • If the market opportunities for any of our product candidates are smaller than we estimate, even assuming approval of a product candidate, our revenue may be adversely affected, and our business may suffer. • We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience as a company in commercializing products, and we may invest significant resources to develop these capabilities. If we are unable to establish marketing and sales capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our products, we may not be able to generate product revenue. • Our future growth may depend, in part, on our ability to commercialize products in foreign markets, where we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and other risks and uncertainties. Risks Related to Corxel's Business Operations and Industry • We are highly dependent on the services of our senior management team, and if we are not able to retain these members of our management team and recruit and retain additional management, clinical and scientific personnel, our business will be harmed. • If we engage in future acquisitions or strategic collaborations, this may increase our capital requirements, dilute our shareholders, cause us to incur debt or assume contingent liabilities and subject us to other risks. • Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, which makes our future operating results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations or any guidance we may provide. 36
Risk Factors (4 of 11) Risks Related to Corxel's Business Operations and Industry (cont.) • We will need to expand our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth, which could disrupt our operations. • Our relationships with customers, physicians, and third-party payors may be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse laws, false claims laws, other healthcare laws and regulations and health data privacy and security laws and regulations, contractual obligations and self-regulatory schemes. If we are unable to comply, or have not fully complied, with such laws, we could face substantial penalties. • If we or our third-party manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable for damages. • Our business could be affected by litigation, government investigations and enforcement actions. • Product liability lawsuits against us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and could limit commercialization of any product candidate that we may develop. • Our insurance policies are expensive and protect us from only some business risks, which will leave us exposed to significant uninsured liabilities. • Our business and the business or operations of third parties with whom we conduct business could be adversely affected by the effects of health epidemics in regions where we or third parties on which we rely have business operations. • If our information technology systems or those of third parties with whom we work, or our data, are or were compromised, we could experience adverse consequences resulting from such compromise, including regulatory investigations or actions, litigation, fines and penalties, disruptions of our business operations, reputational harm, loss of revenue or profits, and other adverse consequences. • Our employees, principal investigators, CROs, consultants and other commercial partners may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including non-compliance with regulatory standards and requirements and insider trading. • Governments outside the United States tend to impose strict price controls, which may adversely affect our revenues, if any. • We and the third parties with whom we work are subject to stringent and evolving U.S. and foreign laws, regulations, and rules, contractual obligations, industry standards, policies and other obligations related to data privacy and security. Our (or the third parties with whom we work) actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could lead to regulatory investigations or actions, litigation (including class claims) and mass arbitration demands, fines and penalties, disruptions of our business operations, reputational harm, loss of revenue or profits, loss of customers or sales, and other adverse business consequences. • Public opinion and scrutiny of treatments for obesity, overweight and type 2 diabetes may impact public perception of our company and product candidates, or may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and our business plans. 37
Risk Factors (5 of 11) Risks Related to Corxel's Intellectual Property • If we are unable to obtain and maintain sufficient intellectual property protection for our technology and product candidates that we are developing or may develop in the future, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection obtained is not sufficiently broad, our competitors or other third parties could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully develop and, if approved, commercialize our product candidates may be adversely affected. • If we do not obtain sufficient patent terms to protect our competitive position on our product candidates for an adequate amount of time, our business may be materially harmed. • Obtaining and maintaining our patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment, and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for noncompliance with these requirements. • Issued patents covering our product candidates could be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged in court. • We may not identify relevant third-party patents or may incorrectly interpret the relevance, scope or expiration of a third-party patent, which might adversely affect our ability to develop and market our products. • Third parties may initiate legal proceedings alleging that we are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating their intellectual property rights, the outcome of which would be uncertain and could have a negative impact on the success of our business. • We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents or other intellectual property rights, or the patents or other intellectual property rights that we have rights to enforce, which could be expensive, time-consuming, and unsuccessful. • Because of the expense and uncertainty of litigation, we may not be in a position to enforce our intellectual property rights against third parties. • Changes in U.S. patent law or the patent law of other countries or jurisdictions could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our product candidates. • Patent reform legislation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent applications or those of our current or future licensors and the enforcement or defense of our issued patents or those of our current or future licensors. • We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world, which could impair our business. • If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed. • We may be subject to claims that our employees, consultants or independent contractors have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information or alleged trade secrets of their former employers or other third parties. • We may be subject to allegations challenging the inventorship or ownership of our patents and other intellectual property. • If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, then we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest and our business may be adversely affected.
Risk Factors (6 of 11) Risks Related to Corxel's Intellectual Property (cont.) • We rely on one or more in-licenses from third parties. If we lose these rights, our business may be materially adversely affected, and if we fail to comply with our obligations under any license, collaboration or other agreements, such agreements may be terminated, we may be required to pay damages and could lose intellectual property rights that are necessary for developing and protecting our product candidates. • We may not be able to license or acquire new or necessary intellectual property rights or technology from third parties. • Our technology licensed from various third parties may be subject to retained rights. Intellectual property discovered through government-funded programs may be subject to federal regulations such as "march-in" rights, certain reporting requirements and a preference for U.S.-based companies. • Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats to our competitive advantage.
Risk Factors (7 of 11) Certain factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we and the post-business combination public company will face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be adversely affected. In that event, you could lose all or part of your investment. All references in this section to "we", "our" or "us" refer both to the business of Corxel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Corxel") prior to the consummation of the proposed business combination and to the business of the post-business combination public company and its subsidiaries, as applicable. The list below has been prepared solely for the purpose of the private placement transaction, and solely for potential private placement investors, and not for any other purpose. Accordingly, the list below is qualified in its entirety by disclosures contained in future documents filed or furnished by Corxel and Amanat Acquisition Corp ("AMAN") or otherwise with respect to Corxel and AMAN, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the documents filed or furnished in connection with the proposed transactions between Corxel and AMAN. The risks presented in such filings may differ significantly from and be more extensive than those presented below. Risks Related to the Business Combination • The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions, and if those conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination may not be completed. • The proposed Business Combination is subject to review, approvals and oversight by governmental and regulatory authorities in multiple jurisdictions, and any delays in obtaining, failure to obtain, or the imposition of burdensome conditions in connection with such approvals could delay, adversely affect or prevent the consummation of the proposed Business Combination. • Some of AMAN's, Corxel's or the post-closing combined company's officers and directors may have conflicts of interest that may influence them to approve the proposed Business Combination without regard to your interests. • Certain financing arrangements or capital contributions may involve existing shareholders, affiliates or related parties. Actual or perceived conflicts of interest could adversely affect investor confidence, require additional disclosure or result in additional governance requirements. • AMAN's directors and officers may have interests in the proposed Business Combination different from the interests of AMAN, Corxel, the post-closing combined company. • There can be no assurance that Corxel and AMAN will be able to raise sufficient capital through the proposed financing transactions, including the proposed PIPE Investment, any capital contribution provided by or on behalf of Corxel or its affiliates in connection with the proposed Business Combination (the "Capital Contribution"), and any related backstop arrangements, to consummate the proposed Business Combination or to adequately fund the post-closing combined company's operations and development plans. • The proposed Business Combination will be subject to a minimum cash closing condition of at least $200.0 million (which may be satisfied through any combination of the proposed PIPE Investment, AMAN's trust account and the Capital Contribution, prior to payment of transaction expenses). If AMAN is unable to close certain financing transactions and sufficient shareholders exercise their redemption rights such that there are insufficient cash proceeds available from AMAN's trust account and the financing transactions, then AMAN may lack sufficient funds to consummate the proposed Business Combination. • The consummation of the proposed PIPE Investment is conditioned on the closing of the proposed Business Combination, and the closing of the proposed Business Combination will be subject to a number of closing conditions, some of which will be outside of Corxel and AMAN's control, including approval by the shareholders of AMAN. • A portion of the total outstanding shares of the post-closing combined company is expected to be restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. 40
Risk Factors (8 of 11) Risks Related to the Business Combination (cont.) • Sales of a substantial number of shares of the post-closing combined company's common stock in the public market by existing shareholders could cause the post-closing combined company's share price to decline, even if Corxel's business is doing well. • AMAN's shareholders will experience immediate dilution due to (i) the issuance of securities to existing Corxel security holders and investors in the proposed PIPE Investment in connection with the proposed Business Combination, and (ii) additional sources of dilution upon exercise or conversion of securities that will be issued in connection with or following the proposed Business Combination (for instance, any securities issued in connection with the post-closing combined company equity plan or employee share purchase plan), in each case potentially entitling recipients of such securities to a significant voting stake in the post-closing combined company. • If AMAN does not consummate an initial business combination within the combination period (24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, currently May 19, 2028, the "Combination Period"), as may be extended at the option of Amanat Sponsor Holdings LLC (the "Sponsor"), its public shareholders may receive only their pro rata portion of the funds in AMAN's trust account that are available for distribution to its public shareholders. • There are no assurances that AMAN will be able to complete the proposed Business Combination prior to the expiration of the Combination Period. • Corxel's or the post-closing combined company's stockholders cannot be certain of the value of the merger consideration they will receive until the closing of the proposed Business Combination. • Because there are no current plans to pay cash dividends on the common stock of the post-closing combined company for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your AMAN Class A ordinary shares (Nasdaq: AMAN) or the common stock of the post-closing combined company at a price greater than what you paid for it. • AMAN, Corxel and the post-closing combined company expect to incur substantial transaction fees and costs in connection with the proposed Business Combination and the integration of their businesses. • The costs related to the proposed Business Combination could be significantly higher than currently anticipated. • The post-closing combined company will remain subject to significant future payment obligations, including milestone payments, royalties and other amounts payable under agreements such as the Vincentage license agreement. Such obligations may reduce available cash, require additional financing or otherwise adversely affect the post-closing combined company's liquidity, financial condition and operating flexibility. • AMAN's, Corxel's or the post-closing combined company's business and operations could be negatively affected, or the proposed Business Combination may be delayed or prevented from being completed, if they become subject to any securities litigation or shareholder activism. • In connection with the proposed Business Combination, the Sponsor (Amanat Sponsor Holdings LLC) and AMAN's directors, executive officers, advisors and their respective affiliates may elect to purchase Class A ordinary shares of AMAN from public shareholders, which may reduce the public "float" of AMAN's Class A ordinary shares. • The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC may delist AMAN's Class A ordinary shares (Nasdaq: AMAN) from its exchange prior to the closing of the Business Combination or Nasdaq may not list the post-closing combined company's securities on its exchange, including the shares issued in connection with the proposed PIPE Investment, which could limit investors' ability to make transactions in the post- closing combined company's securities and subject the post-closing combined company to additional trading restrictions. 41
Risk Factors (9 of 11) Risks Related to the Business Combination (cont.) • The securities issued in the proposed PIPE Investment will not initially be registered with the SEC, and prior to such registration cannot be transferred or resold except in a transaction exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. • There can be no assurance that the post-closing combined company will be able to comply with Nasdaq's continued listing standards. • Following the closing of the proposed Business Combination, an active trading market for the common stock of the post-closing combined company may not be available on a consistent basis to provide stockholders with adequate liquidity. The share price may be extremely volatile and shareholders could lose a significant part of their investment. • If, following the proposed Business Combination, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing reports about the post-closing combined company, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding the post-closing combined company's securities adversely, the price and trading volume of the securities of the post-closing combined company could decline. • The benefits of the proposed Business Combination may not be realized to the extent currently anticipated by AMAN, Corxel and the post-closing combined company, or at all. The ability to recognize any such benefits may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the post-closing combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with collaborators and suppliers and retain its management and key employees. If the proposed Business Combination's benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, shareholders or financial analysts, the market price of AMAN's or the post-closing combined company's securities may decline. • The post-closing combined company's future success will depend in part on its ability to establish and retain an effective management team, and any delays or difficulties in implementing the post- closing leadership structure could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. • The proposed Business Combination will result in changes to the composition of the board of directors of Corxel and the composition of the board of directors of the post-closing combined company, which may affect the strategy of the post-closing combined company. • The ability of AMAN, Corxel and the post-closing combined company to successfully effect the proposed Business Combination and to be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel, including Corxel's key personnel. The loss of key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of the post-closing combined company and its financial condition could suffer as a result. • The post-closing combined company does not have experience operating as a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws and may not be able to adequately develop and implement the governance, compliance, risk management and control infrastructure and culture required for a public company, including compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act • AMAN is currently an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if the post-closing combined company takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make the securities of the post-closing combined company less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare the post-closing combined company's performance with other public companies. • The requirements of being a public company may strain the post-closing combined company's resources, incur increased costs and distract its management, which could make it difficult to manage its business, particularly after the post-closing combined company is no longer an emerging growth company. 42
Risk Factors (10 of 11) Risks Related to the Business Combination (cont.) • Subsequent to the completion of the proposed Business Combination, the post-closing combined company may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment. • As a private company, Corxel has not been required to document and test its internal controls over financial reporting nor has management been required to certify the effectiveness of its internal controls and its auditors have not been required to opine on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. As such, material weaknesses may be identified in Corxel's or the post-closing combined company's internal control over financial reporting that could lead to errors in the post-closing combined company's financial reporting, which could adversely affect the post-closing combined company's business and the market price of its securities. • If the post-closing combined company fails to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting, its ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired. • If the post-closing combined company's estimates or judgments relating to its critical accounting standards prove to be incorrect, or such standards change overtime, its results of operations could be adversely affected. • Because the post-closing combined company will become a publicly traded company by virtue of mergers in connection with the proposed Business Combination as opposed to an underwritten initial public offering, there are no underwriters involved in the process, which could result in less diligence being conducted on Corxel or the post-closing combined company than in an underwritten initial public offering. • AMAN's public shareholders can redeem some or all of the funds held in AMAN's trust account, and significant redemptions could materially impact the post-closing combined company's cash position and runway. • The ability of AMAN's public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of AMAN's public shares may not allow the post-closing combined company to complete the most desirable business combination, fully fund Corxel's business plan, or changes thereto, or optimize the capital structure of the post-closing combined company. • Past performance by AMAN's management team or their affiliates, including their prior involvement with Tourmaline Bio, Zura Bio, Bitterroot Bio and Immunovant, or their respective business combination targets, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in AMAN or the post-closing combined company. • The post-closing combined company's governing documents may include provisions that may discourage takeover attempts. • Corxel's operating and financial results, which were presented to the AMAN board of directors, may not prove accurate. • Activities taken by existing AMAN shareholders to increase the likelihood of approval of the proposed Business Combination proposal and the other proposals to be described in the proxy statement/prospectus that will be filed in connection with the proposed Business Combination could have a depressive effect on AMAN's share price. • Upon executing a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed Business Combination by and among Corxel, AMAN and the post-closing combined company, AMAN may be prohibited from entering into certain transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to it or its shareholders. 43
Risk Factors (11 of 11) Risks Related to the Business Combination (cont.) • The proposed Business Combination may be completed even though material adverse effects may result from the announcement of the proposed Business Combination, industry wide changes, and other causes. • Delays in completing the proposed Business Combination may substantially reduce the expected benefits of the proposed Business Combination. • Corxel has, and the post-closing combined company will have, broad discretion in the use of cash on hand and may not use it effectively. 44
