Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On June 25, 2026, ENDRA Life Sciences Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“ENDRA” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”),
by and among ASP Isotopes Inc. (“ASPI”), a Delaware corporation, Noble Africa LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and
a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of ASP (“Noble”), Renergen Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic
of South Africa and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of ASPI (“Renergen”), ENDRA, and Kruger Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of ENDRA (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other matters, and
subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Noble (the
“Merger”), with Noble surviving the Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ENDRA (the “Surviving Company”).
Concurrently with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Noble
entered into subscription agreements (“Subscription Agreements”) with ASPI and certain investors pursuant to which Noble
agreed to sell approximately (i) 4,594,218 Class A Units of Noble and/or pre-funded warrants to purchase Class A Units of Noble (the
“Pre-Funded Warrants”) to certain institutional investors and other persons and (ii) 3,054,185 Class B Units of Noble to
ASPI, at a price per unit of $6.57 (or $6.57 less the Pre-Funded Warrant exercise price of $0.0001 for the Pre-Funded Warrants), for
aggregate gross proceeds to Noble of approximately $50 million (the “Noble Investment”). Pursuant to the Subscription
Agreements, the Noble Investment shall close immediately prior to the Merger.
Additionally, prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective
Time”), ASPI will contribute all of its equity interest in Renergen to Noble in exchange for 55,500,000 of Noble’s Class B
Units (the “Contribution”). The shares of Class B Common Stock (as defined below) received by ASPI upon conversion of the Class B Units in connection with the Merger
will entitle ASPI to 10 votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the
Effective Time, all of the units of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become
units of the Surviving Company (“Surviving Company Units”) and ENDRA shall be admitted as the sole member of the Surviving
Company as the holder of all Surviving Company Units. Additionally, at the Effective Time, (i) each Class A Unit of Noble outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any units of Noble held by ENDRA, Merger Sub, Noble or any of their respective subsidiaries
(the “Excluded Company Units”), which shall be automatically cancelled), by virtue of the Merger, shall be converted into
the right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock (as defined below), as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below),
if applicable, (ii) each Class B Unit of Noble outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Excluded Company Units),
by virtue of the Merger, shall be converted into the right to receive one share of Class B Common Stock (as defined below) as adjusted
for the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below), if applicable and (iii) each Pre-Funded Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately
prior to the Effective Time, will be converted into and become a warrant to purchase Class A Common Stock, and ENDRA shall assume the
terms of the Pre-Funded Warrant by which such Pre-Funded Warrant is evidenced (with changes to such documents as ASPI and ENDRA mutually
agree are appropriate to reflect the substitution of the Pre-Funded Warrant by ENDRA to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock). Pursuant
to the A&R Certificate of Incorporation (as defined below), at the Effective Time, each share of ENDRA’s common stock issued
and outstanding or held as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without further action by
any ENDRA stockholder, be reclassified as one share of Class A Common Stock.
1
Immediately prior to the Effective Time, ENDRA shall file with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “A&R Certificate of Incorporation”),
pursuant to which ENDRA will be renamed Noble Africa Inc. The A&R Certificate of Incorporation will establish two classes of common
stock, consisting of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and Class B common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”). The A&R Certificate of Incorporation will authorize 1,000,000,000
shares of Class A Common Stock, 200,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Pursuant to the
A&R Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall vote together as one
class on all matters, with each holder of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held as of
the applicable record date and each holder of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten votes for each share of Class B Common Stock held as
of the applicable record date. The holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to share equally, on
a per share basis, in any dividends or other distributions declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
In the event of involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company would
be divided among and paid ratably to the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, treated as a single class. Each
share of Class B Common Stock will be convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder. Additionally, each
share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically be converted into one share of Class A Common Stock upon any transfer of such Class
B Common Stock other than a Permitted Transfer (as defined in the A&R Certificate of Incorporation), or upon the affirmative vote
of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. The A&R Certificate of Incorporation also provides
that, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate
class, in addition to any other vote required by law or the Company’s bylaws or the A&R Certificate of Incorporation, the Company
shall not, by merger, consolidation, conversion or otherwise, amend, alter, repeal, adopt any inconsistent provision with, or waive Section
4.2 of the A&R Certificate of Incorporation, which pertains to the rights and terms of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common
Stock, or effect any reclassification of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock. The A&R Certificate of Incorporation provides
that the Board shall be divided into three separate classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with the first class to hold a term
expiring at the first annual meeting of the stockholders following the filing of the A&R Certificate of Incorporation (“Class
I”), the second class to hold a term expiring at the second annual meeting of the stockholders following the filing of the A&R
Certificate of Incorporation (“Class II”) and the third class to hold a term expiring at the third annual meeting of the stockholders
following the filing of the A&R Certificate of Incorporation (“Class III”). At each annual meeting of stockholders beginning
with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the filing of the A&R Certificate of Incorporation, successors to the class
of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders
to be held in the third year following the year of their election.
Immediately after the Effective Time, the Board is expected to consist
of seven directors, of which (i) one is anticipated to be the Chief Executive Officer of the Surviving Company (the “CEO Director”),
(ii) five are to be non-executive directors designated solely by Noble (the “Noble Directors”) and (iii) one is to be a non-executive
director designated solely by ENDRA (the “ENDRA Director”). Class I shall be comprised of two of the Noble Directors, Class
II shall be comprised of one of the Noble Directors and the ENDRA Director and Class III shall be comprised of two of the Noble Directors
and the CEO Director.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the closing date of the Merger
prior to the Effective Time, subject to the prior receipt of stockholder approval, ENDRA may implement a reverse stock split (the “Reverse
Stock Split”) for the purpose of maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, at a reverse split ratio approved by the
Board.
In connection with the Merger, ENDRA plans to seek the approval of
its stockholders at a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of, among other things, (i) the issuance of the shares of Class
A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock as the Merger Consideration, (ii) the Reverse Stock Split, (iii) the adoption of a new incentive
equity plan, and (iv) the A&R Certificate of Incorporation (all such voting proposals in this paragraph, the “ENDRA Stockholder
Matters”).
The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties
and covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to (i) ENDRA’s obtaining the approval of its stockholders of the ENDRA
Stockholder Matters, (ii) ENDRA’s non-solicitation of alternative acquisition proposals, (iii) the conduct of their respective businesses
during the period between the date of signing the Merger Agreement and the Closing, (iv) ENDRA’s filing with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and causing to become effective a registration statement on Form S-4 to register the shares
of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger (the “Registration Statement”),
and (v) ENDRA’s preparing and submitting to Nasdaq an initial listing application or notification form for notifying Nasdaq of the
change in its name and the listing of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration. The representations
and warranties will not survive Closing, except with respect to intentional fraud, and there will be no escrow or price adjustments for
any breaches of the representations, warranties, and covenants of any party following Closing.
2
Each of ENDRA, Renergen, ASPI and Noble has agreed, subject to certain
exceptions with respect to unsolicited proposals, not to directly or indirectly solicit competing acquisition proposals or to enter into
discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any unsolicited alternative acquisition proposals. However,
ENDRA may provide information to any person who has made an unsolicited, bona fide written acquisition proposal, if such proposal is made
after the date of the Merger Agreement, ENDRA’s Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, (i)
that such proposal would reasonably be expected to be a superior proposal and (ii) that failure to provide information in connection with
such proposal would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to ENDRA and ENDRA’s stockholders under
Delaware law, and such person executes and delivers a confidentiality agreement to ENDRA containing substantially the same terms and conditions
as the confidentiality agreement between ENDRA and ASPI.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain closing conditions,
including the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other parties, subject to applicable materiality standards, the approval
of the ENDRA Stockholder Matters, the Registration Statement being declared effective by the SEC, the approval for listing on Nasdaq (or
any other public stock market or exchange in the United States as may be agreed by Noble and ENDRA) of the Class A Common Stock and Class
B Common Stock to be issued as the Merger Consideration, the receipt by Noble of the proceeds of the Noble Investment, Noble’s receipt
of a written consent of the U.S. Internal Development Finance Corporation (formerly known as the Overseas Private Investment Corporation)
(“OPIC”) as required under that certain Finance Agreement by and between OPIC and a subsidiary of Renergen, ENDRA’s
having an amount of cash equal to or greater than $3.8 million, ASPI having effected the Contribution, and the performance in all material
respects by the applicable parties of their agreements, obligations and covenants under the Merger Agreement required to be performed
on or prior to the date of the Closing.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights of each of
ENDRA and Noble. The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to Closing by mutual written agreement between ENDRA and Noble
or by either party if Closing shall not have occurred by December 24, 2026. Either ENDRA or Noble may also terminate the Merger Agreement
if the representations or warranties of the other party were inaccurate as of the date of the Merger Agreement or become inaccurate thereafter
due to a breach of a covenant or agreement of that party prior to Closing, or if the ENDRA Stockholder Matters are not approved by the
ENDRA stockholders at the Special Meeting.
Concurrently with the Closing, the Company will enter into a registration
rights agreement and certain business continuity agreements with ASPI, including a master transaction agreement, shared services agreement,
employee matters agreement and tax sharing agreement. The master transaction agreement will contain key provisions relating to the conduct
of future transactions and govern the ongoing relationship between ASPI and the Company after the Closing, including sales of helium,
certain indemnification obligations and a requirement for the Company to maintain the same auditor and fiscal year as ASPI for so long
as ASPI is required to consolidate the financial statements of ASPI under GAAP. Under the shared services and employee matters agreements,
ASPI will provide certain administrative services to the Company in exchange for a service fee equal to the operating cost plus a margin.
At the Closing, ASPI, ASPI South Africa Proprietary Limited, a wholly
owned subsidiary of ASPI (“ASPI SA”), and Renergen, shall enter into the fifth addendum to that certain ASPI Term Loan Facility,
dated May 19, 2025, by and between ASPI, ASPI SA and Renergen, pursuant to which ASPI may provide loans to Renergen up to $200 million.

About Renergen
Renergen is a South African energy company focused on the development
and commercialization of helium and liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) resources. Through its operating platform, Renergen is positioned
around the production of specialty gases and cleaner energy products that are expected to serve high-demand industrial, technology, medical,
aerospace, semiconductor, and energy markets. It provides services that include:
● Helium Production and Supply: Development of helium resources designed to
address supply needs for a scarce, strategically important gas used in medical imaging, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, fiber
optics, leak detection, and advanced research applications.
● Liquefied Natural Gas: Production and commercialization of LNG for customers
seeking cleaner-burning energy alternatives, including applications in transportation, industrial operations, and distributed energy markets.
● Strategic Resource Development: Advancement of gas reserves that include
helium concentrations intended to provide exposure to markets characterized by constrained global supply, mission-critical end uses, and
growing demand from high-technology and energy-transition sectors.
Renergen believes its resource base and operating strategy can position it to participate in attractive
end markets for helium and LNG. Helium’s limited global supply, specialized logistics requirements, and use in critical applications
create potential commercial opportunities for producers with scalable production and offtake capabilities. Renergen’s LNG operations
are expected to complement its helium strategy by supporting monetization of natural gas resources while serving customers seeking reliable
and lower-emission fuel alternatives.

Article III
EFFECT OF MERGER ON EQUITY SECURITIES
3.1. Conversion of
Merger Sub Equity. At the Effective Time, all of the units of Merger Sub outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Merger Sub Units”) shall be converted into and become all of the units
of the Surviving Company (“Surviving Company Units”) and PubCo shall be admitted the sole member of Surviving
Company as the holder of all Surviving Company Units.
3.2 Effect on Company
Units. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of
the Company or any holders of Company Units:
(a) Cancellation
of Certain Company Units. All Company Units that are outstanding and owned by PubCo, Merger Sub, the Company, or any of their respective
Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Excluded Company Units”) shall automatically be canceled, and
no portion of the Merger Consideration or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.
(b) Treatment
of Company Units.
(i) Each
Class A Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Excluded Company Units, by virtue of the Merger and upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, shall be converted into and shall for all purposes represent only
the right to receive one share of PubCo Class A Common Stock adjusted by the Reverse Split Factor, if applicable. Each Class B Unit
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Excluded Company Units, by virtue of the Merger and upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, shall be converted into and shall for all purposes represent only the right to
receive one share of PubCo Class B Common Stock adjusted by the Reverse Split Factor, if applicable.
21
(ii) All
of the Company Units converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(i) shall no longer
be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any Company Units shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to
such securities, except the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration into which such Company Units shall have
been converted pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(i).
3.3. Effect on PubCo
Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of filing of the PubCo A&R Certificate
of Incorporation, each share of PubCo’s common stock issued and outstanding or held as treasury stock immediately prior to the
Effective Time, shall, automatically and without further action by any PubCo stockholder, be reclassified as, and shall become, one
share of PubCo Class A Common Stock. Any stock certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of the
PubCo’s common Stock shall from and after the Effective Time be deemed to represent shares of PubCo Class A Common Stock,
without the need for surrender or exchange thereof.
3.4. Effect on Company Warrants.
Each Company Warrant, to the extent then outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall automatically, without
any action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed and converted into a warrant to acquire one share of PubCo Class A Common Stock,
subject to the same terms and conditions (including exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Warrant
immediately prior to the Effective Time, taking into account any changes thereto by reason of this Agreement or the Transactions (each
such resulting warrant, an “Assumed Warrant”). Accordingly, effective as of the Merger Effective Time: (A) each Assumed
Warrant shall be exercisable solely for shares of PubCo Class A Common Stock; (B) the number of shares of PubCo Class A Common Stock
subject to each Assumed Warrant shall be equal to the number of shares of Class A Units subject to the applicable Company Warrant adjusted
by the Reverse Split Factor, if applicable and (C) the per share exercise price for the PubCo Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of such Assumed Warrant shall be equal to the per share exercise price for the shares of Class A Units subject to the applicable Company
Warrant as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time adjusted by the Reverse Split Factor, if applicable. PubCo shall take
all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Assumed
Warrants remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares of PubCo Class A Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of such Assumed
Warrants.
3.5. No
Dissenters’ Rights. No appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger
Sub Units or the Company Units in connection with the Transactions.
3.6. Exchange Procedures.
(a) The
Transfer Agent shall act as the exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging each type of Company
Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding the Excluded Company Units) for a number of each type of PubCo
Common Stock at a ratio of 1:1 (subject to any required Tax withholding as provided under Section 3.8, and subject to adjustment
to reflect the Reverse Split Factor, if applicable) and on the terms and subject to the other conditions set forth in this Agreement.
(b) At
the Effective Time, PubCo shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Transfer Agent, for the benefit of the holders of each Company
Unit outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the Excluded Company Units, and for exchange through the Exchange
Agent, evidence of PubCo Common Stock in book-entry form representing the Merger Consideration.
(c) No
interest will be paid or accrued on the Merger Consideration (or any portion thereof). From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered
or transferred, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 3.6, each Company Unit that has been converted into the right
to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration shall solely represent the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration.
22
3.7. Financing
Certificate and Closing Calculations. Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing
Date, PubCo shall deliver to the Company written notice (the “Financing Certificate”) setting forth the estimated
amount of PubCo Cash as of the Closing. The Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects on the Financing Certificate. If the
Company in good faith disagrees with any portion of the Financing Certificate, then the Company may deliver a notice of such
disagreement to PubCo until and including the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the Closing Date (the “Company
Pre-Closing Notice of Disagreement”). The Company and PubCo shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreements
they have with respect to the matters specified in the Company Pre-Closing Notice of Disagreement. If PubCo and the Company are
unable to negotiate in good faith to resolve such disagreements within five Business days after PubCo’s delivery of the
Financing Certificate (or such other period as PubCo and the Company may mutually agree upon), then any remaining disagreements
specified in the Company Pre-Closing Notice of Disagreement shall be referred to an independent auditor of recognized national
standing jointly selected by PubCo and the Company. If PubCo and the Company are unable to jointly select an independent auditor
within five (5) days, then either PubCo or the Company may thereafter request that the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) make such selection (either the independent auditor jointly selected by PubCo and the Company or such
independent auditor selected by the AAA, as applicable, the “Accounting Firm”). PubCo and the Company shall
promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Financing Certificate and the
Company Pre-Closing Notice of Disagreement, and PubCo and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Accounting Firm to make its determination within five (5) Business Days of accepting its selection. PubCo and the Company shall
be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disagreements specified in the
Company Pre-Closing Notice of Disagreement and to discuss the issues relevant to such disagreement with the Accounting Firm; provided, however,
that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of PubCo and the Company. The
determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements specified in the Company Pre-Closing Notice of
Disagreement and submitted to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall be an expert and not an arbitrator and the Accounting
Firm’s determination of such disagreements shall be made in writing delivered to each of PubCo and the Company, shall
(together with the calculations in the Financing Certificate that are not subject to the disagreements set forth in the Company
Pre-Closing Notice of Disagreement) be final and binding on PubCo and the Company, and shall be deemed to have been finally
determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent Financing Certificate for purposes of this Agreement. The Parties shall
delay the Closing until the resolution of the matters described in this Section. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall
be allocated between PubCo and the Company equally.
3.8. Withholding
Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, PubCo, the Exchange
Agent, and any other Person making a payment under this Agreement (each, a “Payor”), shall be entitled to deduct
and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement any amount required to be deducted and withheld
with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Legal Requirements. Each Payor shall expend commercially reasonable
efforts to (i) avail itself of any available exemptions from, or any refunds, credits or other recovery of, any such Tax deductions
and withholdings and shall cooperate with the other Parties in providing any information and documentation (including an Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 or other applicable Form) that may be necessary to obtain such exemptions, refunds, credits or other
recovery and (ii) eliminate or minimize the amount of any such Tax deductions and withholdings. If any such withholding is so
required in connection with any such payments (other than any withholding on compensatory amounts), the Payor required to so
withhold shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice to the Person in respect of whom such withholding is
required to be paid of the amounts to be deducted and withheld no later than five (5) days prior to such payment. To the extent that
amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and 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; provided that the Payor provides
to such Person evidence that such amounts have been paid to the applicable Tax authority or other Governmental Entity.
23
3.9. Taking of
Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further
action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company following the Merger
with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub, the
officers, directors, managers, and members, as applicable (or their designees), of the Company are fully authorized in the name of
the Company to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this
Agreement.

or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Company Group, taken as a whole. OpCo is duly qualified to do business
in each jurisdiction in which it is conducting its business, or the operation, ownership or leasing of its properties, makes such qualification
necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to be material to the Company Group, taken as a whole. OpCo is not in violation of any of the provisions of its Governing
Documents in any material respect.
24
(b) The
Company (i) is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing (to the extent such concept exists
in the relevant jurisdiction) under the laws of the State of Delaware and (ii) has all requisite power and authority to own, lease
and operate its assets and properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except, in the case of clause (ii) above,

any of the provisions of its Governing Documents in any material respect. No provision of the limited liability company agreement of the
Company provides that the appraisal rights shall be available in connection with the Transactions.

Group, taken as a whole.
4.2. Company Subsidiaries.
(a) All
of the Company Group’s direct and indirect Subsidiaries, together with their jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, as applicable,
are listed on Section 4.2(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Company Subsidiaries”). Except as set

limited liability company or equivalent power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and properties and to carry on its business
as it is now being conducted, except as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a
Company Material Adverse Effect. Each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the conduct
of its business, or the operation, ownership or leasing of its properties, makes such qualification necessary, other than in such jurisdictions
where the failure to be so qualified has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company
Material Adverse Effect. No Company Subsidiary is in violation of any of the provisions of its Governing Documents in any material respect.

repurchase, redemption or acquisition of, any ownership interests of such Company Subsidiary or obligating such Company Subsidiary to

equity incentive plan or such Person’s employment, grant, consulting or subscription agreement, in each case, in accordance with

in each jurisdiction in which it is conducting its business, or where the operation, ownership or leasing of its properties makes such
qualification or licensing necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or

provisions of its Governing Documents in any material respect.

Merger Sub, which is addressed in Section 5.1(b)) is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the conduct
of its business, or the operation, ownership or leasing of its properties, makes such qualification necessary, other than in such jurisdictions

SEC Reports will be, prepared in all material respects in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The PubCo SEC Reports did not, and the Additional
PubCo SEC Reports will not, at the time they were or are filed, as the case may be, with the SEC contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Certifications are each true and correct in all material respects.
Each director and executive officer of PubCo has filed with the SEC all statements required with respect to PubCo by Section 16(a) of
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. As used in this Section 5.8, the term “file” shall
be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the
SEC or the NASDAQ, so long as copies thereof are publicly available.
(b) The
financial statements of PubCo contained or incorporated by reference in the PubCo SEC Reports, including all notes and schedules thereto,
and the financial statements of PubCo that will be contained or incorporated by reference in any Additional PubCo SEC Report, including
all notes and schedules thereto, (i) complied (and, in the case of the financial statements of PubCo to be contained in or to be incorporated
by reference in the Additional PubCo SEC Reports, will comply) in all material respects, when filed or if amended prior to the date of
this Agreement, as of the date of such amendment, with the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, (ii) were prepared (and,
in the case of the financial statements of PubCo to be contained in or to be incorporated by reference in the Additional PubCo SEC Reports,
will be prepared) in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the
notes thereto or, in the case of the unaudited statements, as permitted by Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act) and
(iii) fairly present (and, in the case of the financial statements of PubCo to be contained in or to be incorporated by reference in the
Additional PubCo SEC Reports, will fairly present), in all material respects the financial condition and the results of operations, changes
in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of PubCo as at the respective dates of, and for the periods referred to in, such financial
statements, all in accordance with: (x) GAAP; and (y) Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable, subject, in the case of interim
financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be material)
and the omission of notes to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable. PubCo has no off-balance sheet arrangements
that are not disclosed in the PubCo SEC Reports. Each of the financial statements of PubCo included or incorporated by reference in the
PubCo SEC Reports were derived from the books and records of PubCo and each of the financial statements of PubCo that will be included
or incorporated by reference in the Additional PubCo SEC Reports will be derived from the books and records of PubCo, in each case, which
books and records are, in all material respects, correct and complete and have been maintained in all material respects in accordance
with commercially reasonable business practices.

has been received by PubCo.

used in this Section 5.8(d), the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document
or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC.
(e) Other
than as has been disclosed in the PubCo SEC Reports, PubCo has designed and maintains a system of internal controls over financial reporting,
as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, sufficient to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Other than as has been
disclosed in the PubCo SEC Reports, PubCo maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance
that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability and (iii) access

no pending or, to the Knowledge of PubCo, threatened Legal Proceeding, or to the Knowledge of PubCo, any investigation, against PubCo
or any of its properties or assets, or any of the directors or officers of PubCo with regard to their actions as such, and to the Knowledge
of PubCo, no facts exist that would reasonably be expected to form the basis for any such Legal Proceeding or investigation; (b) other

Plans.
(a) Schedule 5.12(a)
of the PubCo Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list of each material Employee Benefit Plan that (i) provides for
transaction, retention or change in control payments or benefits or tax gross-ups, (ii) is an equity plan or form award agreement that
provides for equity or equity-based incentive compensation or (iii) is a defined contribution benefit plan, defined benefit pension plan,

(b) As

transaction” (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code) has occurred or is reasonably expected to
occur with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan that would result in any liability that is material to the PubCo Group, taken as a whole.
54
(c) Except
as would not result in any liability that is material to the PubCo Group, taken as a whole, each Employee Benefit Plan intended to qualify
under Section 401 of the Code does so qualify, and any trusts intended to be exempt from U.S. federal income taxation under the provisions
of Section 401(a) of the Code are so exempt and, to the Knowledge of PubCo, nothing has occurred with respect to the operation
of the Employee Benefit Plans that would reasonably be expected to cause the denial or loss of such qualification or exemption.
(d) No
PubCo Group member or any of its respective ERISA Affiliates has at any time in the past six (6) years sponsored or been obligated
to contribute to, or had any liability in respect of: (i) an “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of
ERISA) subject to Title IV of ERISA, Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA (including any “multiemployer plan”
within the meaning of Section (3)(37) of ERISA); (ii) a “multiple employer plan” as defined in Section 413(c) of
the Code; or (iii) a “multiple employer welfare arrangement” within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA.
(e) As
of the date of this Agreement, none of the Employee Benefit Plans provides for, and the PubCo Group has no material liability in respect
of, any material post-retiree health, welfare or life insurance benefits or coverage for any participant or any beneficiary of a participant,
except as may be required under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, or similar state or other Legal
Requirements.
(f) As
of the date of this Agreement, with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, no actions, suits, claims (other than routine claims for benefits
in the ordinary course), audits, inquiries, proceedings or lawsuits are pending or, to the Knowledge of PubCo, threatened against any
Employee Benefit Plan or against any fiduciary thereof with respect thereto that could reasonably result in any liability that is material
to the PubCo Group, taken as a whole.
(g) Except
as could not reasonably result in any material liability to the PubCo Group, taken as a whole, all contributions, reserves or premium
payments required to be made or accrued to the Employee Benefit Plans have been timely made or accrued in all material respects.
(h) Except
that could not reasonably result in any liability that is material to the PubCo Group, taken as a whole, neither the execution and delivery
of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions will, either alone or in connection with any other event(s): (i) result
in any payment or benefit becoming due to any current or former employee, contractor or director of PubCo or its Subsidiaries under any
Employee Benefit Plan; (ii) increase any amount of compensation or benefits otherwise payable to any current or former employee,
individual independent contractor or director of PubCo or its Subsidiaries under any Employee Benefit Plan; or (iii) result in the
acceleration of the time of payment, funding or vesting of any benefits to any current or former employee, contractor or director of PubCo
or its Subsidiaries under any Employee Benefit Plan.
(i) The
PubCo maintains no obligations to gross-up or reimburse any individual for any tax or related interest or penalties incurred by such individual,
including under Sections 409A or 4999 of the Code or otherwise.
55
(j) As
of the date of this Agreement, with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan of the PubCo Group subject to the Legal Requirements of any
jurisdiction outside the United States, including all pension, health, medical, welfare, benefit and other employment plans, whether pre
or post-retirement plans (each, a “Foreign Plan”), except that could not reasonably
result in any liability that is material to the PubCo Group, taken as a whole, (i) each such Foreign Plan is in compliance with the
applicable Legal Requirement of each jurisdiction in which such Foreign Plan is maintained, to the extent those Legal Requirements are
applicable to such Foreign Plan, (ii) there are no pending investigations by any Governmental Entity involving such Foreign Plan,
and no pending Legal Proceedings against such Foreign Plan or asserting any rights or claims to benefits under such Foreign Plan, (iii) all
employer and employee contributions to each such Foreign Plan required by applicable Legal Requirements or by the terms of such Foreign
Plan have been made, (iv) each such Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing
with applicable regulatory authorities and, to the Knowledge of PubCo, no event has occurred since the date of the most recent approval
or application therefor relating to any such Foreign Plan that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect any such approval or good
standing, (v) each such Foreign Plan required to be fully funded or fully insured or fully accrued in the financial statements of
any PubCo Group member, is fully funded or fully insured, including any back-service obligations, on an ongoing basis (determined using
reasonable actuarial assumptions) in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (vi) each Foreign Plan required to be registered
has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory and administrative authorities and is approved
by any applicable taxation authorities to the extent such approval is available, (vii) no Foreign Plan has unfunded liabilities that will
not be offset by insurance or that are not fully accrued on the Financial Statements and (viii) the consummation of the Transactions will
not by itself be reasonably expected to create or otherwise result in any liability with respect to such Foreign Plan.

(b) No
PubCo Group member is a party to or bound by any labor agreement, collective bargaining agreement or other labor Contract applicable to

works council with respect to their employment with the PubCo Group. There are no representation proceedings or petitions seeking a representation
proceeding presently pending or, to the Knowledge of PubCo, threatened to be brought or filed, with the National Labor Relations Board
or other labor relations tribunal, nor has any such representation proceeding, petition, or demand been brought, filed or made since the
Reference Date that resulted in a material liability to the PubCo Group, taken as a whole. Since the Reference Date, there have been no

of PubCo, threatened by any labor organization, work council or group of employees.

promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company and PubCo shall, in accordance with this Section 7.1,

or delayed by either PubCo or the Company, as applicable) (i) registration statement on Form S-4 (as such filing is amended or supplemented,
the “Registration Statement”) for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act the offer and sale of PubCo Common
Stock to be issued as the Merger Consideration, and (ii) proxy statement/prospectus to be filed with the SEC as part of the Registration
Statement and sent to the PubCo Stockholders relating to the PubCo Special Meeting (such proxy statement/prospectus, together with any

material respects, with the provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act (as applicable), for the purposes of soliciting proxies
from the PubCo Stockholders to vote at the PubCo Special Meeting in favor of the PubCo Stockholder Matters.
(b) Each

the Proxy Statement/Prospectus), when filed, to comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, (ii) respond as
promptly as reasonably practicable to and resolve all comments received from the SEC or its staff concerning the Registration Statement

officers or directors, is discovered which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement so
that any of such documents would not include a misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information
shall promptly inform the other Party and each of PubCo and the Company shall cooperate reasonably in connection with preparing an appropriate
amendment or supplement describing such information to be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Legal Requirements,
disseminating such information to the PubCo Stockholders.
(d) Parent,
the Company, and PubCo shall make all necessary filings with respect to the Transactions under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and
applicable “blue sky” laws. Parent, the Company and PubCo agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide

the officers and employees of such Party to be reasonably available, during normal business hours, to the other Party and its counsel,

7.2. PubCo Stockholder
Approval.
(a) PubCo
shall, prior to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus Clearance Date, set a record date that is mutually agreed upon by PubCo and the Company
(the “PubCo Record Date”) for determining the PubCo Stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the PubCo Special
Meeting. PubCo shall timely commence a “broker search” in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act. Promptly following
the Proxy Statement/Prospectus Clearance Date, PubCo shall file the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus with the SEC and cause the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to each PubCo Stockholder of record as of the PubCo Record Date (such date on which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
is mailed to the PubCo Stockholders, the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus Mailing Date”).
74
(b) PubCo
shall, as promptly as practicable following the Proxy Statement/Prospectus Clearance Date, duly call, give notice of, and hold a special
meeting of the PubCo Stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the PubCo Stockholder Approval of the PubCo Stockholder Matters (the “PubCo
Special Meeting”), which meeting shall be held not more than twenty five (25) Business Days after the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
Mailing Date and in any event prior to the Outside Date. Without the prior written consent of the Company, the PubCo Stockholder Matters
shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which PubCo shall propose to be acted on by the PubCo Stockholders at the PubCo
Special Meeting. Except in connection with a PubCo Change in Recommendation made in accordance with this Section 7.2(b), PubCo
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the PubCo Stockholder Approval of the PubCo Stockholder Matters at the PubCo Special
Meeting, including by soliciting proxies as promptly as practicable in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements for the purpose of
seeking the obtainment of the PubCo Stockholder Approval of the PubCo Stockholder Matters and, if requested by the Company, engaging a
proxy solicitor (at Parent’s expense as a Parent Transaction Cost) reasonably acceptable to the Company to solicit proxies from
the PubCo Stockholders in furtherance of obtaining PubCo Stockholder Approval of the PubCo Stockholder Matters. Subject to the proviso
in the immediately following sentence, PubCo shall include the PubCo Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The PubCo Board
shall not (and no committee or subcommittee of the PubCo Board shall) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify, or modify, or publicly propose
to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify, or modify, the PubCo Recommendation (a “PubCo Change in Recommendation”); provided,
however, that the PubCo Board may make a PubCo Change in Recommendation (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of
the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended) only if (i) an Intervening Event occurs, (ii) the PubCo Board determines in good faith,
after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to make a PubCo Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected
to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the PubCo Stockholders under Delaware Law, (iii) PubCo delivers to the Company a written
notice advising the Company that the PubCo Board proposes to make a PubCo Change in Recommendation due to an Intervening Event (an “Intervening
Event Notice”) and containing a detailed description of the facts and circumstances that constitute an Intervening Event, and
(iv) at or after 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the day on which PubCo
delivered the Intervening Event Notice, based solely on the occurrence of such Intervening Event, the PubCo Board again determines in
good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a PubCo Change in Recommendation would reasonably
be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to PubCo and the PubCo Stockholders under Delaware law (after taking into account
any state of facts, development, change, circumstance, occurrence, event, or effect (including any action taken by any Company Group member)
that eliminates or mitigates such Intervening Event); provided, further, that the PubCo Board may make a PubCo Change in
Recommendation (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended) only if (i) PubCo
receives a bona fide written and unsolicited Acquisition Proposal, (ii) the PubCo Board determines, in good faith, after consultation
with its outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal would reasonably be expected to be a Superior Proposal, (iii) PubCo delivers
the Company a written notice advising the Company that the PubCo Board has determined that such Acquisition Proposal would reasonably
be expected to be a Superior Proposal (the “Superior Proposal Notice”) and containing a description of such Acquisition
Proposal, including any agreement, document, or instrument evidencing such Acquisition Proposal, and (iv) at or after 10:00 a.m. New York
City time on the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the day on which PubCo delivered the Superior Proposal Notice,
based solely on such Acquisition Proposal, the PubCo Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel,
that the failure to make a PubCo Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to
PubCo and the PubCo Stockholders under Delaware law (after taking into account any amendment to the terms and provisions of this Agreement
and the other Transaction Agreements proposed by the Company). PubCo agrees that its obligation to establish a record date for determining
the PubCo Stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote, duly call, give notice of, and hold the PubCo Special Meeting for the purpose
of seeking the obtainment of the PubCo Stockholder Approval of the PubCo Stockholder Matters shall not be affected by any PubCo Change
in Recommendation, and that PubCo is required to establish a record date for determining the PubCo Stockholders entitled to notice of
and to vote, duly call, give notice of, and hold the PubCo Special Meeting and submit for the approval of the PubCo Stockholders the PubCo
Stockholder Matters regardless of whether or not there shall have occurred any PubCo Change in Recommendation.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, PubCo shall not postpone or adjourn the PubCo Special Meeting except in accordance
with this Section 7.2(c). PubCo shall be entitled to postpone or adjourn the PubCo Special Meeting: (i) after consultation
with the Company, to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus that the PubCo Board has determined in
good faith is required by applicable Legal Requirements is disclosed and promptly disseminated to the PubCo Stockholders prior to the
PubCo Special Meeting to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements; (ii) if, as of the time for which the PubCo Special Meeting
is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus), there are insufficient PubCo Common Stock represented (either
in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the PubCo Special Meeting; or (iii)
in order to solicit additional proxies from the PubCo Stockholders for purposes of obtaining the PubCo Stockholder Approval of the PubCo
Stockholder Matters if, as of the time for which the PubCo Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus),
PubCo Common Stock voted by proxy are not sufficient to obtain the PubCo Stockholder Approval of the PubCo Stockholder Matters; provided
that in the event of a postponement or adjournment pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) the PubCo Special Meeting shall
be reconvened as promptly as practicable following such time as the matters described in such clauses have been resolved. PubCo (i) shall,
if requested in writing by the Company prior to the start of the PubCo Special Meeting, postpone or adjourn the PubCo Special Meeting,
and (ii) shall not, without the consent of the Company, adjourn or postpone the PubCo Special Meeting to a date that is beyond four Business
Days prior to the Outside Date unless the PubCo Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel,
that (x) the taking of such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to PubCo and the PubCo stockholders
under Delaware law and (y) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconstant with its fiduciary duties to
PubCo and the PubCo Stockholders, respectively.
75
7.3. Certain Regulatory Matters.
(a) Each
of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, or to do or cause to be done, all actions and

that are necessary, proper or advisable to be obtained with respect to the Transactions (the “Required Regulatory Approvals”).

such Required Regulatory Filings and otherwise reasonably cooperate in good faith with each other and such Governmental Entities in connection
with the Required Regulatory Filings and obtaining the Required Regulatory Approvals. Each Party will promptly furnish to the other Party
such information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any Required Regulatory Filings
and will take all other commercially reasonable actions necessary or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable
waiting periods with respect to any Required Regulatory Approval as soon as practicable. Unless prohibited by any applicable Legal Requirement
or Governmental Entity, the Company shall promptly furnish to PubCo, and PubCo shall promptly furnish to the Company, copies of any notices
or substantive written communications received by such Party or any of its Affiliates from any Governmental Entity with respect to the
Transactions, and each Party shall permit counsel to the other Party an opportunity to review in advance, and each Party shall consider
in good faith the views of such counsel in connection with, any proposed written communications by such Party and/or its Affiliates to
any Governmental Entity concerning the Transactions; provided that none of the Parties shall enter into any agreement with any Governmental
Entity with respect to the Transactions without the written consent of the other Parties. To the extent not prohibited by any applicable
Legal Requirement, the Company agrees to provide PubCo and its counsel, and PubCo agrees to provide the Company and its counsel, the opportunity,
on reasonable advance notice, to participate in any substantive meetings or discussions, either in person or by telephone, between such
Party and/or any of its Affiliates, agents or advisors, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity, on the other hand, concerning or
in connection with the Transactions. Each of the Company and PubCo may, as they deem necessary, designate any sensitive materials to be
exchanged in connection with this Section 7.3(a) as “counsel only” and any such sensitive materials, as well as
the information contained therein, shall be provided only to a receiving party’s outside and in-house counsel (and mutually-acknowledged
outside consultants) and not disclosed by such counsel (or consultants) to any employees, officers, or directors of the receiving party
without the advance written consent of the party supplying such materials or information. No Party shall willfully take any action that
will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding in any material respect the receipt of any of the Required Regulatory Approvals.
(b) Nothing
in this Section 7.3 obligates any Party or any of its Affiliates to agree to (i) sell, license or otherwise dispose of,
or hold separate and agree to sell, license or otherwise dispose of, any entities, assets or facilities of any Company Group member or
any entity, facility or asset of such Party or any of its Affiliates, (ii) terminate, amend or assign existing relationships and
contractual rights or obligations, (iii) amend, assign or terminate existing licenses or other agreements, or (iv) enter into
new licenses or other agreements. No Party shall agree to any of the foregoing measures with respect to any other Party or any of its
Affiliates, except with PubCo’s and the Company’s prior written consent.
76
(c) Any
filing fees required by Governmental Entities, including with respect to the Required Regulatory Approvals, or any registrations, declarations
and filings required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the obligations hereunder and
the consummation of the Transactions, shall be borne entirely by PubCo.
7.4. Other Filings; Press Release.
(a) As
promptly as practicable after execution of this Agreement, PubCo will prepare and file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant

with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Signing Form 8-K prior to its filing and shall consider such comments in good
faith.
(b) Promptly
after the execution of this Agreement, PubCo and the Company shall also issue a mutually agreed upon joint press release announcing the
execution of this Agreement.
7.5. Confidentiality; Communications Plan;
Access to Information.
(a) The
Confidentiality Agreement, and the terms thereof, are hereby incorporated herein by reference. As of the Effective Time, the Confidentiality
Agreement will automatically terminate; provided, however, that if for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to
the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
(b) Subject
to Section 7.4, PubCo and the Company shall reasonably cooperate to create and implement a mutually agreed upon (such agreement
not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) communications plan regarding the Transactions promptly following the date hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates will make any public announcement or issue any
public communication regarding this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the Transactions or any matter related to the foregoing,
without the prior written consent of the Company, in the case of a public announcement by PubCo, or PubCo, in the case of a public announcement
by the Company (such consents, in either case, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except: (i) for routine disclosures
to Governmental Entities made by the Company in the ordinary course of business; (ii) if such announcement or other communication is required
by applicable Legal Requirements (provided that, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the disclosing Party
first shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, allow such other Parties to review such public announcement or communication and have
the opportunity to comment thereon and the disclosing Party shall consider such comments in good faith); (iii) in the case of the Company,
if such announcement or other communication is made in connection with fundraising or other investment related activities and is made
to the Company’s direct and indirect investors or potential investors or financing sources subject to an obligation of confidentiality;
(iv) in the case of the Company, (A) internal announcements to employees of any member of the Company Group or (B) communications to banks,
customers, or suppliers of the Company Group as the Company determines in good faith to be reasonably appropriate (such determination
to be made by the Company in good faith); (v) to the extent such announcements or other communications contain only information previously
disclosed in a public statement, press release, or other communication previously approved in accordance with Section 7.3
or this Section 7.5(b); (vi) announcements and communications to Governmental Entities in connection with registrations, declarations,
and filings relating to the Transactions that are required to be made under this Agreement; and (vii) to enforce any of their respective
rights or comply with any of their respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement.
77
(c) From
the date hereof until the Closing, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to afford PubCo and its financial advisors, accountants,
counsel, and other representatives reasonable access during the Company’s normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the
properties, books, records, and personnel of the Company Group, as PubCo may reasonably request solely for purposes of facilitating the
consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted in a manner not to materially
interfere with the businesses or operations of such member of the Company Group. From the date hereof until the Closing, PubCo will use
commercially reasonable efforts to afford the Company and its financial advisors, accountants, counsel, and other representatives reasonable
access during the Company’s normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books, records, and personnel of PubCo,
as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that any
such access shall be conducted in a manner not to materially interfere with the businesses or operations of PubCo. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.5(c), no Party shall be required to take any action, provide any access to, or
furnish any information that such Party in good faith reasonably believes would be reasonably likely to (i) cause or constitute a waiver
of the attorney-client or other similar protection or privilege, (ii) violate any applicable Legal Requirement, or (iii) violate any Contract
to which such Party is a party or bound; provided, however, that the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts
to make alternative arrangements to allow for such access or furnishings in a manner that does not result in the events set out in the
foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii).
7.6. Commercially Reasonable
Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and
without limiting the obligations of any Party under Section 7.3, each of the Parties agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties
in doing, all things necessary, proper, or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the
Transactions, including using commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) cause the conditions set forth in Article VIII
to be satisfied prior to the Outside Date; (b) defend any suits, claims, actions, investigations, or proceedings, whether judicial or
administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining
order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed; and (c) execute and deliver any additional instruments reasonably
necessary to consummate, and to fully carry out the purposes of, the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to require PubCo or the Company to agree to any divestiture by itself or any of its Affiliates of shares
of capital stock or of any business, assets or property, or the imposition of any limitation on the ability of any of them to conduct
their business or to own or exercise control of their respective assets, properties, and capital stock.
78
7.7. Company and PubCo Securities Listings.
(a) From
the date hereof through the Closing, PubCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that PubCo remains listed as a public
company on, and for the Merger Consideration to be listed on, NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance, as promptly as reasonably
practicable after the Proxy Statement/Prospectus Clearance Date, and in any event prior to the Effective Time.
(b) From
the date hereof through the Closing, PubCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep current and timely file all reports required
to be filed or furnished with the SEC and otherwise comply in all material respects with its reporting obligations under applicable Legal
Requirements.
7.8. No Solicitation.
(a) During
the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms
and the Closing, each of Parent, the Company, OpCo, and PubCo shall not, and shall direct its and their employees, agents, officers, directors,
managers, representatives, and advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit,
initiate, or knowingly encourage any inquiries or proposals by, or provide any information to, any Person (other than the Parties) concerning
any Acquisition Proposal or any merger, consolidation, purchase of ownership interests or assets of, by or otherwise involving the Company
or OpCo, or any recapitalization or other business combination transaction involving Parent, the Company, or OpCo (each, a “Business
Combination”); (ii) enter into or continue any discussions, negotiations, or transactions with or respond to any inquiries or
proposals by any other Person concerning any Acquisition Proposal or any Business Combination, except to inform such Person of the applicable
Party’s obligations under this Section 7.8; (iii) enter into any agreement regarding an Acquisition Proposal or a Business
Combination; (iv) commence, continue, or renew any due diligence investigation regarding an Acquisition Proposal or a Business Combination;
or (v) prepare or take any steps in connection with an offering of any securities of the Company, or OpCo (or any Affiliate or successor),
except in respect of the Company Investment. Each of Parent, the Company, OpCo, and PubCo shall, and shall cause its Representatives to,
immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Business
Combination.
(b) Each
Party shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after becoming aware of such inquiry, proposal, offer or submission) notify
the other Parties if it or, to its Knowledge, any of its or its Representatives receives any inquiry, proposal, offer, or submission with
respect to an Acquisition Proposal or a Business Combination (including the identity of the Person making such inquiry or submitting such
proposal, offer, or submission), after the date of this Agreement. If either Party or its Representatives receives an inquiry, proposal,
offer, or submission with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or a Business Combination, such Party shall provide the other Parties with
a copy of such inquiry, proposal, offer, or submission.
79
(c) Nothing
in the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.8 shall prevent PubCo or the PubCo Board from, at any time prior to the obtainment
of the PubCo Stockholder Approval of the PubCo Stockholders Matters, providing information to any Person who has made a bona fide written
and unsolicited Acquisition Proposal only if (i) such Acquisition Proposal is received by PubCo after the date of this Agreement, (ii)
the PubCo Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal would reasonably
be expected to be a Superior Proposal, (iii) the PubCo Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel,
that failure to provide information would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to PubCo and the PubCo Stockholders
under Delaware law, and (iv) such Person executes and delivers to PubCo a confidentiality agreement on terms and conditions substantially
to those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement.
7.9. Director and Officer Matters.
(a) Parent,
PubCo, the Company, and the Surviving Company agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification, and advancement of expenses now existing
in favor of the current or former directors or officers, as the case may be, of PubCo (each, together with such person’s heirs,
executors or administrators, a “PubCo D&O Indemnified Party”), as provided in PubCo’s and its Subsidiaries’
Governing Documents, shall survive the Closing until the six year anniversary of the Closing. For a period of six years from the Closing
Date, (i) PubCo shall maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification, and advancement of expenses provisions of PubCo’s Governing
Documents and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between PubCo or any Subsidiary, on the one hand, and such PubCo D&O Indemnified
Party, on the other hand as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date (such provisions, the “D&O Indemnification Provisions”),
(ii) PubCo shall not amend, repeal, or otherwise modify any such D&O Indemnification Provisions in any manner that would adversely
affect the rights thereunder of any PubCo D&O Indemnified Party and (iii) PubCo shall honor and guarantee all payments required to
be made by the Surviving Company with respect to all such D&O Indemnification Provisions; provided, however, that all
exculpation and rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any Legal Proceedings pending or asserted, or any claim
made, within such six-year period shall continue until the final disposition of such Legal Proceeding or the final resolution of such
claim.
(b) PubCo
shall purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six-year prepaid D&O tail policy for the non-cancellable extension of directors’
and officers’ liability coverage of PubCo’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for a claims
reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period
of time at or prior to the Effective Time with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the
coverage provided under PubCo’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any actual or alleged error,
misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer of PubCo
by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with
this Agreement or the Transaction Agreements) (the “D&O Tail Policy”). The D&O Tail Policy to be purchased
shall be subject to Parent’s reasonable prior written approval and shall be paid by PubCo as a PubCo Transaction Cost.
80
(c) The
rights of each PubCo D&O Indemnified Party under this Section 7.9 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other
rights such individual may have under the Governing Documents of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, any other indemnification arrangement,
any Legal Requirement, or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 7.9 shall survive the Closing and expressly are intended
to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the PubCo D&O Indemnified Parties, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary
of this Section 7.9.
(d) If
PubCo or the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns: (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not
be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties
and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of PubCo or the Surviving
Company, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.9.
7.10. Tax Matters.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, excise, recording, registration,
value added and other such similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) that become payable in connection with or by
reason of the execution of this Agreement and the Transactions (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne equally
by PubCo and Parent. Unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirement, PubCo shall timely file any Tax Return or other document
with respect to such Taxes or fees (and the Company and PubCo shall reasonably cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).
7.11. Section 16
Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the PubCo Board shall take all reasonable steps
as may be required or permitted to cause any acquisition or disposition of PubCo Common Stock that occurs or is deemed to occur by reason
of or pursuant to the Merger by each Party and its directors and officers who are or will be subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to PubCo to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including by
taking steps in accordance with the No-Action Letter, dated January 12, 1999, issued by the SEC regarding such matters.

first class of directors (the “Class I Directors”), initially serving a term effective from the Effective Time until

(3)-year term), with two (2) of the Company Directors to serve as a Class I Director;
(b) a
second class of directors (the “Class II Directors”), initially serving a term effective from the Effective Time until
the second annual meeting of the PubCo Stockholders held following the Effective Time (but any subsequent Class II Directors serving a

the relevant PubCo Stockholder Approval of the Incentive Equity Plan, the Incentive Equity Plan, in a form agreed to by PubCo and Company,
to hire and incentivize PubCo’s and its Subsidiaries’ directors, managers, executives, and other employees, and at the Effective
Time shall reserve thereunder a total pool of awards of such number of PubCo Common Stock as agreed to by PubCo and the Company. As soon
as practicable following the Closing, PubCo shall file an effective registration statement on Form S-8 (or other applicable form) with
respect to PubCo Common Stock issuable under the Incentive Equity Plan.

PubCo shall prepare and submit to Nasdaq an initial listing application or notification form, as applicable, for (i) notifying Nasdaq
of the changes in the name of PubCo and (ii) the listing of PubCo Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration, and use its reasonable
best efforts to cause such shares to be approved for listing (subject to official notice of issuance) (the “Nasdaq Listing Application”)
and to cause such Nasdaq Listing Application to be conditionally approved prior to the Effective Time. The Parties will use reasonable
best efforts to coordinate with respect to compliance with Nasdaq rules and regulations. Each Party will promptly inform the other Party
of all verbal or written communications between Nasdaq and such Party or its representatives. Parent shall pay all Nasdaq fees associated
with the Nasdaq Listing Application as a Parent Transaction Cost. The Company and OpCo will cooperate with PubCo as reasonably requested
by PubCo with respect to the Nasdaq Listing Application and promptly furnish to PubCo all information concerning the Company and OpCo
and its respective Subsidiaries and equity holders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated
by this Section 7.16.

11.4. Entire Agreement;
Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter, PubCo Disclosure
Letter, the other Transaction Agreements, and any other documents and instruments and agreements among the Parties as contemplated by
or referred to herein, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto: (a) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof; and (b) other than the rights, at and after the Effective Time, of Persons pursuant to the provisions of
Section 7.9, Section 11.14 and this Section 11.4
(which are expressly intended to be and will be for the benefit of the Persons set forth therein and herein), are not intended to confer
upon any other Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the past,
present and future directors, officers, employees, incorporators, members, partners, stockholders, Affiliates, agents, attorneys, advisors
and Representatives of the Parties, and any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (and their successors, heirs, and Representatives), are
intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce this Section 11.4.
11.5. Severability.
In the event that any term, provision, covenant, or restriction of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Legal Requirement: (a) such provision will be fully severable; (b) this Agreement
will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; (c) the remaining
provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable
provision or by its severance herefrom; and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically
as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision

11.6. Other Remedies;
Specific Performance. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, prior to the Closing,
any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party 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 (a) irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not
performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and (b) monetary damages would be both incalculable and
an insufficient remedy for such failure or breach. The Parties agree that each Party shall be entitled to specific performance of the
provisions of this Agreement and immediate injunctive relief and other equitable relief to prevent breaches, or threatened breaches,
of the provisions of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without bond or
other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the
Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult
to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to
the Parties. Each of the Parties hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement does
not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each Party hereby
further agrees that in the event of any action by any other Party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that
a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation
should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds.
89

controversy, or claim may not be brought or is not maintainable in such court; (iii) such Party’s property is exempt or immune from
execution; (iv) such action, suit, dispute, controversy, or claim is brought in an inconvenient forum; or (v) the venue of such action,
suit, dispute, controversy, or claim is improper. Each Party hereby agrees not to commence or prosecute any such action, suit, dispute,
controversy, or claim other than before one of the above-named courts, nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending
to cause the transfer or removal of any such action, suit, dispute, controversy, or claim to any court other than one of the above-named
courts, whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise. Each Party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding
in any manner permitted by Delaware law, and further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service
guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 11.1.

in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named
courts.

an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.
11.10. Expenses.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the Transactions are consummated, each Party will pay its own
costs and expenses incurred in anticipation of, relating to and in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and
the other Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions.
11.11. Assignment.
No Party may assign, directly or indirectly, including by operation of law, either this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements
or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties. Subject
to the first sentence of this Section 11.11, this Agreement
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported
assignment or delegation made in violation of this provision shall be void and of no force or effect.
11.12. Amendment.

No modification, termination, rescission, discharge, or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by

or not liquidated, where circumstances giving rise to such claim or right occurred prior to the date of such modification, termination,
rescission, discharge, or cancellation.
11.13. Waiver.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no delay, failure or waiver by any Party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement
and no partial or single exercise of any such right or remedy, will operate to limit, preclude, cancel, waive or otherwise affect such
right or remedy, nor will any single or partial exercise of such right or remedy limit, preclude, impair or waive any further exercise

WHEREAS,

NOW,
THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration,

ARTICLE
I
SUBSCRIPTION
FOR UNITS
1.01 Subscription.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the undersigned Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from
the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, (i) such number of Units as set forth on the signature
page hereto and/or (ii) at the Subscriber’s election, upon written notice to the Company within ten (10) days following the
date hereof, Pre-Funded Warrants representing the number of Units set forth on the signature page hereto (collectively, the
“Subscribed Securities,” and such subscription, the “Subscription”). The Subscription shall become
effective when this Subscription Agreement has been duly executed by the Subscriber and has been accepted and agreed to by the
Company.
1.02
Review of Subscription Agreement and Company Agreement Acknowledged. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber has (i) received
a complete copy of this Subscription Agreement, including, a copy of the form of the Company’s Limited Liability Company Agreement
(the “Company Agreement”), and the Merger Agreement, and has (ii) reviewed in their entirety and understands each
of the terms and provisions of the Subscription Agreement, the Company Agreement and the Merger Agreement.
THE
SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SUBSCRIBER IS ACQUIRING UNITS AFTER INVESTIGATION OF THE COMPANY AND ITS PROPOSED BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS,
AND THAT NO OFFER OR SOLICITATION HAS BEEN MADE TO THE SUBSCRIBER EXCEPT THROUGH THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. THE SUBSCRIBER FURTHER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SUBSCRIBER IS NOT RELYING UPON ANY REPRESENTATION MADE BY ANY PERSON IN MAKING AN ACQUISITION OF UNITS.
1.03 Closing.
The closing of the sale of Subscribed Securities contemplated hereby (the “Closing”, and the date on which the
Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the
closing of the Transactions (the “Transaction Closing”). The Closing shall occur on the date of, and immediately
prior to, the Transaction Closing.
1.04 Payment
for Subscription. The Company shall provide written notice (which may be via email) to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”)
that the Company reasonably expects the Transaction Closing to occur on a date that is not less than three (3) business days after the
date of the Closing Notice (the “Scheduled Closing Date”), which Closing Notice shall contain wire instructions for
an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established by the Company with an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”).
At least two (2) business days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, Subscriber shall deliver to the Escrow Account the Aggregate Purchase
Price by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds. Upon the Closing, the Company shall instruct the Escrow Agent
to release the funds to the Company against delivery to Subscriber of the Subscribed Securities, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions
(other than those arising under state or federal securities laws), in book-entry form as set forth in Section 1.05 below. If this
Subscription Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing and any funds have already been sent by Subscriber to the Escrow Account, or
the Closing Date does not occur within three (3) business days after the Scheduled Closing Date, the Company shall cause the Escrow Agent
to promptly (but not later than five (5) business days after the Scheduled Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice), return the
funds delivered by Subscriber for payment of the Subscribed Securities by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified
in writing by Subscriber (provided, that the failure of the Closing Date to occur within such three (3) business day period and the return
of the relevant funds shall not relieve Subscriber from its obligations under this Subscription Agreement for a subsequently rescheduled
Closing Date determined by the Company in good faith).
1.05
Delivery of Subscribed Securities. Promptly after the Closing, the Company shall deliver (or cause the delivery of) the Units and/or Pre-Funded Warrants in book-entry form with restrictive legends for the number of Units as set forth on the signature page
hereto or Pre-Funded Warrants representing the number of Units as set forth on the signature page hereto to Subscriber (or its permitted
assignee) or to a custodian designated by Subscriber, as applicable, as indicated below; provided, that, at the Transaction Closing,
as contemplated by and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, each Unit and/or Pre-Funded Warrant
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time owned by Subscriber as of the Transaction Closing and any reference in
this Subscription Agreement to the Subscribed Securities from and after the Transaction Closing shall include the shares of PubCo Class
A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “PubCo Class A Common Stock”), PubCo Class A Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants of PubCo, or PubCo Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “PubCo Class
B Common Stock”), issued in exchange therefor in the Transaction Closing.
1.06 Terms
and Conditions. The Company shall have the right to accept or reject the Subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever,
including, but not limited to, the belief of the Company that the Subscriber cannot bear the economic risk of an investment in the Company
or upon belief that the Subscriber is not capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company or that the Subscriber
(if Subscriber is a U.S. person) is not a “qualified institutional buyer” or an “accredited investor” (“Accredited
Investor”), as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or
for no reason at all.

applicable state securities laws.
(ii)
If Subscriber is a non-U.S. investor, Subscriber understands that the sale of the Subscribed Securities is made pursuant to and in reliance

the Subscriber has not received any other offering literature or prospectus relating to the offering of the Subscribed Securities (the “Offering”)
and no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber or the Company, other than the representations, if any, which are
specifically set forth in this Subscription Agreement and the Company Agreement.

PubCo, OpCo, Parent and any other matters relating directly or indirectly to the Subscriber’s purchase of the Subscribed Securities;
and (ii) ask questions of, and receive answers from the Company, PubCo, OpCo and Parent concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering
and to obtain such additional information as may have been necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained in this Subscription
Agreement, the Company Agreement or otherwise provided. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that
it has received and carefully reviewed the following items (collectively, the “Disclosure Documents”): (i) the Merger

filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), (iv) Parent’s filings with the SEC, including,
without limitation, Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 10, 2026 (including the risk factors set forth
under the headings “Risks Related to Renergen’s Business” beginning on page 68 and “Risks Related to Renergen’s
Indebtedness and Liquidity” beginning on page 77), as amended, and Parent’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed

following the Transaction Closing. Subscriber has conducted its own investigation of the Company, PubCo, OpCo, Parent and the Subscribed
Securities and Subscriber has made its own assessment and have satisfied itself concerning the relevant tax and other economic considerations
relevant to its investment in the Subscribed Subunits. Subscriber further acknowledges that the information contained in the Disclosure

based on updated information or changes in terms of the Transaction, shall in no way affect Subscriber’s obligation to purchase
the Subscribed Securities hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein, and that, in purchasing the Subscribed Securities, Subscriber is not
relying upon any projections contained in the Investor Presentation. Subscriber acknowledges that neither the Company, PubCo, OpCo Parent,
any of their respective officers or directors, nor any other individual or entity has made any representations, warranties, guarantees
or other promises or agreements by their provision of any such additional information.

(a) In
General. The Subscriber acknowledges that due to anti-money laundering laws in the United States, the Company may, at any time, require
further identification of the Subscriber and the source of subscription funds. The Subscriber represents that all subscription payments
transferred to the Company originated directly from a bank or brokerage account in the name of the Subscriber. If the Subscriber is subscribing
on behalf of a Beneficial Owner, pursuant to Section 2.03(b) below, then the Subscriber represents that all subscription payments
transferred to the Subscriber with respect to such Beneficial Owner originated directly from a bank or brokerage account in the name
of such Beneficial Owner. The Subscriber represents that acceptance by the Company of this Subscription Agreement, together with acceptance

to be furnished is accurate.

Ownership. The Subscriber represents that it is subscribing for Units for the Subscriber’s own account and risk, and, unless
the Subscriber advises the Company to the contrary in writing and identifies with specificity each beneficial owner on whose behalf the
Subscriber is acting, the Subscriber represents that it is not acting as a nominee for any other person or entity. If the Subscriber
is (i) acting as trustee, agent, representative or disclosed nominee for another person or entity, or (ii) an entity, other than a publicly-traded
company listed on an organized exchange or a subsidiary or pension fund of such a company based in a Financial Action Task Force (“FATF”)
Compliant Jurisdiction, investing on behalf of underlying investors, including a fund-of-funds (the persons, entities and underlying
investors referred to in (i) and (ii) being referred to collectively as the “Beneficial Owners”), Subscriber represents

of the Beneficial Owners;

Subscriber has all requisite power and authority from each Beneficial Owner to execute and
perform the obligations under this Subscription Agreement;

identities and will make such information available to the Company upon request, and has
procedures in place to ensure that the Beneficial Owners are not Prohibited Investors (as
defined below).
(c) Prohibited
Investor. The Subscriber represents and warrants that neither it or to the best of its knowledge and belief after due inquiry, the
Beneficial Owners, nor any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control with it or the Beneficial Owners, nor any person
having a beneficial or economic interest in it or the Beneficial Owners, is a Prohibited Investor. The Subscriber further represents
that it is not investing and will not invest in the Company for the benefit of a Prohibited Investor. The Subscriber acknowledges that
the Company prohibits any investment by a Prohibited Investor or for the benefit of a Prohibited Investor.
(d) Suspension
of Certain Rights. Subscriber acknowledges that if the Company reasonably believes that the Subscriber is a Prohibited Investor or
has otherwise breached its representations and warranties herein, the Company may freeze the Subscriber’s investments, either by
prohibiting additional investments, segregating the assets constituting the investment in accordance with applicable regulations, or
otherwise subject to applicable regulations. Alternatively, the Subscriber’s investment may be redeemed immediately at cost, and

Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise
of Warrant. Exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after
the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail
(or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). No ink-original
Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of
Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant
to the Company until the Holder has exercised all of the Warrant Units available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full,
in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Business Days of the date on which
the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding
number of Warrant Units issuable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Units issued. The Holder and the Company
shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Units issued and the date of such issuances. The Company shall deliver any objection
to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this
Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the issuance of a portion of the Warrant
Units hereunder, the number of Warrant Units available for issuance hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on
the face hereof.
b) Exercise
Price. The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant, except for a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per Warrant Unit, was pre-funded
to the Company on or prior to the Initial Exercise Date and, consequently, no additional consideration (other than the nominal exercise
price of $0.0001 per Warrant Unit), shall be required to be paid by the Holder to any Person to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The
remaining unpaid exercise price per Warrant Unit under this Warrant shall be $0.0001, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise
Price”). At the Holder’s election, it may pre-fund the remaining unpaid Exercise Price of this Warrant in connection with
the issuance of this Warrant, and in the event of the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined below), the Company shall pay
any pre-funded remaining Exercise Price to any Successor Entity (as defined below) assuming the Company’s obligations under this
Warrant. The Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price or
Exercise Price under any circumstance or for any reason whatsoever.
c) [RESERVED]
d) Mechanics
of Exercise.
i. Delivery
of Warrant Units Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Units issued hereunder to be registered in the Company’s
register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Units to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise
to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is one (1) Business Day after the later of the delivery
to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and the delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company (such date, the “Warrant
Unit Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all limited liability company
purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Units with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective
of the date of delivery of the Warrant Units.
ii. Delivery
of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and
upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Units, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing
the rights of the Holder to exercise the unissued Warrant Units called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects
be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Charges,
Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Units shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental
expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Units, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant
Units shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however,
that, in the event that Warrant Units are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for
exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition
thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing
in this Section 2(d)(iii) shall require the Company to deliver the Warrant Units on a date earlier than the Warrant Unit Delivery Date.
iv. Closing
of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant,
pursuant to the terms hereof.
e) Holder’s
Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise
any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise
as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting
as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)),
would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence,
the number of Class A Units beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Class
A Units issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of
Class A Units which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the
Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any
other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Class A Unit Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion
or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.
Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance
with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that
the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder
is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this
Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together
with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the
Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable
(in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this
Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify
or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section
2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Class A Units, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Class A Units as reflected
in written notice by the Company setting forth the number of Class A Units outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder,
the Company shall within one Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Class A Units then outstanding.
In any case, the number of outstanding Class A Units shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities
of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number
of outstanding Class A Units was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of Class
A Units outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Class A Units issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The provisions
of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e)
to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation
herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations
contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3. Certain
Adjustments.
a) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions
effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly,
effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one
or a series of related transactions, provided, however that the sale by the Company of any Subsidiary does not constitute a Fundamental
Transaction, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person)
is completed pursuant to which holders of Class A Units are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their units for other securities, cash
or property and has been accepted by the holders of greater than 50% of the outstanding Class A Units or greater than 50% of the voting
power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification,
reorganization or recapitalization of the Class A Units or any compulsory unit exchange pursuant to which the Class A Units are effectively
converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related
transactions consummates a stock or unit purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization,
recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person, including such Person’s Attribution Parties, whereby
such other Person (including such Person’s Attribution Parties) acquires greater than 50% of the outstanding Class A Units or greater
than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any
subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Unit that would have been issuable upon
such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any
limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Class A Units of the successor or acquiring corporation or
of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)
receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Class A Units for which this Warrant is exercisable
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).
If holders of Class A Units 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 cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor
(the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 3(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and
approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver
to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar
in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity
(or its parent entity) equivalent to the Class A Units acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any
limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction (but taking into account the relative value of the
Class A Units pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital
stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation
of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any
such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and
after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction
Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities,
jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right
and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company
prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity
or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled
to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(a) regardless of (i) whether the Company has sufficient authorized Class A Units for
the issuance of Warrant Units and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date.
b) Calculations.
All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a Class A Unit, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Class A Units deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of
the number of Class A Units issued and outstanding.
Section 4. Transfer
of Warrant.
a) Transferability.
Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration
rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated
agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its
agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if
required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable,
and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing
the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full,
in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Business Days of the date on which the Holder delivers
an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised
by a new holder for the exercise of Warrant Units without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New
Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company,
together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or
its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination,
the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance
with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be
identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Units issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant
Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant
Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof 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.
d) Representation
by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise
hereof, will acquire the Warrant Units issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or
reselling such Warrant Units or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant
to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No
Rights as Member Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or
other rights as a member of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).
b) Loss,
Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Units, and in case
of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include
the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make
and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or certificate.
c) Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted
herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of
law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, members, partners,
members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party
hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan
for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein,
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, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding.
Each party 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 party at the address
in effect for notices to it under this Warrant 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 other manner permitted
by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in
such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and
expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
e) Restrictions.
The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Units acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon
resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
f) Nonwaiver
and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as
a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this
Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages
to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but
not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts
due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
g) Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice
of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed
to the Company, at ______________________, or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice
to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing
and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the e-mail
address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall
be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail
at the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Business Day after
the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section on a
day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, (iii) the second Business Day following
the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom
such notice is required to be given.
h) Limitation
of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant for Warrant Units,
and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price
of any Class A Unit or as an equity owner of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
i) Remedies.
The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific
performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss
incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
j) Successors
and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.
The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable
by the Holder or holder of Warrant Units.
k) Amendment.
This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and
the Holders of outstanding Warrants representing the majority of Warrant Units underlying such Warrants, on the other hand. If any modification
or amendment pursuant to this Section 5(k) adversely affects the rights or interests of the Holder of this Warrant in a manner disproportionate
to the rights or interests of other holders of Warrants, such modification or amendment shall require such Holder’s written consent
prior to the effectiveness thereof.
l) Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
m) Headings.
The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

CAPITALIZATION
Section
4.1 Authorized Capital Stock.
The
total number of shares of capital stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue is 1,250,000,000 shares, divided into three classes
consisting of (a) 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”);
(b) 200,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock” and, together
with Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”); and (c) 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001
per share (“Preferred Stock”).
Upon
the effectiveness of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Effective Time”), each share
of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.001, issued and outstanding or held as treasury stock immediately prior to the
Effective Time, shall, automatically and without further action by any stockholder, be reclassified as, and converted into, one share
of Class A Common Stock. Any stock certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of the Corporation’s
common stock shall, from and after the Effective Time, automatically be deemed to represent the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
into which such shares of the Corporation’s common stock shall have been reclassified and converted as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence without the need for surrender or exchange thereof.
The
number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or either class of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number
of shares thereof then-outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock of the Corporation
entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL (or any successor provision thereto), and no
vote of the holders of either the Preferred Stock or either class of Common Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor,
unless a vote of any such holder is required pursuant to this Certificate (including any certificate of designation relating to any series
of Preferred Stock).
Section
4.2 Common Stock.
(a)
Voting Rights.
1.
Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate or otherwise required by applicable law, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock shall at all times vote together as one class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted
to a vote or to be acted on by consent of the stockholders of the Corporation.
2.
Each holder of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held as of the applicable record
date on any matter that is submitted to a vote or to be acted on by consent of the stockholders of the Corporation.
3.
Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate or otherwise required by applicable law, each holder of Class B Common Stock shall be
entitled to ten votes for each share of Class B Common Stock held as of the applicable date on any matter that is submitted to a vote
or to be acted on by consent of the stockholders of the Corporation.
(b)
Dividends. Subject to the preferences applicable to any series of Preferred Stock, if any, outstanding at any time, the holders
of Class A Common Stock and the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to share equally, on a per share basis, in such dividends
and other distributions of cash, property or shares of stock of the Corporation as may be declared by the board of directors of the Corporation
(the “Board”) from time to time with respect to the Common Stock out of assets or funds of the Corporation
legally available therefor; provided, however, that in the event that such dividend is paid in the form of shares of Common Stock or
rights to acquire Common Stock, the holders of Class A Common Stock shall receive Class A Common Stock or rights to acquire Class A Common
Stock, as the case may be, and the holders of Class B Common Stock shall receive Class B Common Stock or rights to acquire Class B Common
Stock, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may pay or make a disparate dividend or distribution per share of
Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (whether in the amount of such dividend or distribution payable per share, the form in which
such dividend or distribution is payable, the timing of the payment, or otherwise) if such disparate dividend or distribution is approved
in advance by the affirmative vote (or written consent) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.
4
(c)
Liquidation. Subject to the preferences applicable to any series of Preferred Stock, if any, outstanding at any time, in the event
of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding up of the Corporation, all assets of the
Corporation of whatever kind available for distribution to the holders of Common Stock shall be divided among and paid ratably to the
holders of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock treated as a single class unless disparate or different treatment of
the shares of each such class with respect to distributions upon any such liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding
up is approved in advance by the affirmative vote (or written consent) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class
A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.
(d)
Subdivision or Combination. If the Corporation in any manner subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of one class of Common
Stock, the outstanding shares of the other class of Common Stock will be subdivided or combined in the same manner; provided, however,
that shares of one such class of Common Stock may be subdivided or combined in a different or disproportionate manner if such subdivision
or combination is approved in advance by the affirmative vote (or written consent) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.
(e)
Equal Status. Except as expressly provided in this Article IV, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall have the same
rights and privileges and rank equally (including as to dividends and distributions, and upon any liquidation, dissolution, distribution
of assets or winding up of the Corporation), share ratably and be identical in all respects as to all matters.
(f)
Conversion of Class B Common Stock.
1.
Voluntary Conversion. Each share of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class
A Common Stock at the option of the holder thereof. Before any holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled voluntarily to convert
any shares of such Class B Common Stock, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor (if any), duly endorsed,
at the principal corporate office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Class B Common Stock, and shall give written notice
to the Corporation at its principal corporate office of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names (a)
in which the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class B Common Stock
are so converted are to be issued if such shares are certificated or (b) in which such shares are to be registered in book entry if such
shares are uncertificated. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder
of Class B Common Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares
of Class A Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid (if such shares are certificated) or, if such shares are
uncertificated, register such shares in book-entry form. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close
of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted following or contemporaneously with the
written notice of such holder’s election to convert, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common
Stock as of such date. Each share of Class B Common Stock that is converted pursuant to this Section 4.2(f)(1) shall be retired
by the Corporation and shall not be available for reissuance.
5
2.
Automatic Conversion. (a) Each share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically, without further action by the holder thereof,
be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock upon the occurrence of a Transfer (as defined below),
other than a Permitted Transfer (as defined below), of such share of Class B Common Stock, and (b) all shares of Class B Common Stock
shall automatically, without further action by any holder thereof, be converted into an identical number of shares of fully paid and
nonassessable Class A Common Stock upon the affirmative vote (or written consent) of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding
shares Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class (the occurrence of an event described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section
4.2(f)(2), a “Conversion Event”). Each outstanding stock certificate that, immediately prior to a Conversion
Event, represented one or more shares of Class B Common Stock subject to such Conversion Event shall, upon such Conversion Event, be
deemed to represent an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof. The Corporation,
or any transfer agent of the Corporation, shall, upon the request of any holder whose shares of Class B Common Stock have been converted
into shares of Class A Common Stock as a result of a Conversion Event and upon surrender by such holder to the Corporation of the outstanding
certificate(s) formerly representing such holder’s shares of Class B Common Stock (if any), issue and deliver to such holder certificate(s)
representing the shares of Class A Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Class B Common Stock were converted as a result
of such Conversion Event (if such shares are certificated) or, if such shares are uncertificated, register such shares in book-entry
form. Each share of Class B Common Stock that is converted pursuant to this Section 4.2(f)(2) shall thereupon be retired by the
Corporation and shall not be available for reissuance.
3.
The Corporation may, from time to time, establish such policies and procedures, not in violation of applicable law or the other provisions
of this Certificate, relating to the conversion of the Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, as it may deem necessary or advisable
in connection therewith. If the Corporation has a reasonable basis to believe that a Transfer giving rise to a conversion of shares of
Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock has occurred but has not theretofore been reflected on the books of the Corporation, the
Corporation may request in writing that the holder of such shares furnish affidavits or other reasonable evidence to the Corporation
as the Corporation deems necessary to determine whether a conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock has occurred
and if such holder does not, within thirty days after receipt of such written request, furnish reasonable evidence to the Corporation
to enable the Corporation to determine that no such conversion has occurred, any such shares of Class B Common Stock, to the extent not
previously converted, shall be automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and the same shall thereupon be registered
on the books and records of the Corporation. In connection with any action of stockholders taken at a meeting or by written consent,
the stock ledger of the Corporation shall be presumptive evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to vote in person or by proxy
at any meeting of stockholders or in connection with any such written consent and the class or classes or series of shares held by each
such stockholder and the number of shares of each class or classes or series held by such stockholder.

4.
Reservation of Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares
of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock, such number of shares
of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common
Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock.
5.
Protective Provisions. The Corporation shall not, whether by merger, consolidation, conversion or otherwise, amend, alter, repeal
or waive this Section 4.2 (or adopt any provision inconsistent therewith) or effect any reclassification of the shares of Class
A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, unless such action is first approved by the affirmative vote (or written consent) of the holders
of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, in addition to any other vote required
by applicable law, this Certificate or the Bylaws (as defined in Article V), and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the holders
of Class A Common Stock shall have no right to vote thereon.

of the Corporation (as in effect from time to time, the “Bylaws”) without the assent or vote of the stockholders.
For so long as shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of
all the then-outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be required
in order for the stockholders of the Corporation to alter, amend, repeal or rescind, in whole or in part, any provision of the Bylaws

BOARD
OF DIRECTORS
Section
6.1 Number, Election and Term.
(a)
The number of directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the
total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any
such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption).
(b)
Subject to Section 6.4, the directors shall be divided with respect to the time for which they hold office into three classes,
as nearly equal in number as possible and designated Class I (the “Class I Directors”), Class II (the “Class
II Directors”) and Class III (the “Class III Directors”). The initial division of the Board into
classes shall be made by the Board. The term of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders
of the Corporation following the filing of this Certificate; the term of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual
meeting of stockholders following the filing of this Certificate; and the term of the initial Class III Directors shall expire at the
third annual meeting of stockholders following the filing of this Certificate. At each annual meeting of stockholders beginning with
the first annual meeting of stockholders following the filing of this Certificate, successors to the class of directors whose term expires
at that annual meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in the third
year following the year of their election. Subject to Section 6.4, if the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease
shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible,
but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.
(c)
Subject to Section 6.4, a director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and
until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement,
disqualification or removal.
(d)
Unless and except to the extent that the By-Laws shall so require, the election of directors need not be by written ballot.
Section
6.2 Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies.
Subject
to Section 6.4, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board
resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled by a majority vote of the directors
then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director or by the stockholders; provided, however, that once no shares
of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding, any newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and
any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely
by a majority vote of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by the stockholders).
Any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was
added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s
earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.
12
Section
6.3 Removal.
Subject
to Section 6.4, any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time either with or without cause by the affirmative
vote of a majority in voting power of all outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single
class; provided, however, that once no shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding, any such director or all such directors may
be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of all the then-outstanding
shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.
Section
6.4 Preferred Stock - Directors.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Article VI, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of one or more series of Preferred
Stock shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect one or more directors, the term of office, the filling of
vacancies, the removal from office and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such series of Preferred
Stock as set forth in this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) and such directors shall not be included in any of
the classes created pursuant to this Article VI unless expressly provided by such terms.

CONSENT
OF STOCKHOLDERS IN LIEU OF MEETING; SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

For
as long as shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting
of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents
in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number
of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present
and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place
of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are
recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be made by hand, overnight courier or by certified or registered
mail, return receipt requested. Once no shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding, any action required or permitted to be taken
by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected
by any consent in writing by such holders; provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Preferred
Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without
prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable certificate of designation relating to such series
of Preferred Stock.
13
Section
7.2 Special Meetings of Stockholders.
Except
as otherwise required by law or the terms of any one or more series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation
may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, or the Board; provided, however, that special meetings of the
stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes shall also be called at the request of the holders of 25% of the Class B
Common Stock. The ability of holders of Class A Common Stock to call a special meeting is hereby specifically denied.

LIMITATION
OF DIRECTOR AND OFFICER LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES
Section
8.1 Limitation of Director and Officer Liability.
To
the fullest extent that the DGCL or any other law of the State of Delaware as the same exists or is hereafter amended permits the limitation
or elimination of the liability of directors or officers, no person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally
liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer. Any
repeal or amendment of this Section 8.1 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other
provision of this Certificate inconsistent with this Section 8.1 will, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except
to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to further limit or eliminate the liability of directors or officers)
and shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal
or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or amendment
or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
Section
8.2 Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.
(a)
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and
hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”)
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation,
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”),
whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other
capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all expenses, liability and loss (including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered
by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The right to indemnification conferred by this Section 8.2 shall include
the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any such proceeding in advance
of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses shall be made only upon delivery
to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined
by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for the
expenses under this Section 8.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section
8.2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee
or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 8.2, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall
indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if
such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.
14
(b)
The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Section 8.2 shall not be exclusive
of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Certificate, the By-Laws, an agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
(c)
Any repeal or amendment of this Section 8.2 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any
other provision of this Certificate inconsistent with this Section 8.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective
only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive
basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time
of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal
or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
(d)
This Section 8.2 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law,
to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.

or indirectly (1) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates
now engages or proposes to engage or (2) otherwise competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation
for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate
in, any business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates,
except as provided in Section 9.4. Subject to said Section 9.4, in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge
of a potential transaction or other matter or business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself
and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no fiduciary
duty or other duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate, present or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the
Corporation or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders
or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty or other duty (contractual or otherwise) as a stockholder, director

for itself, herself or himself, offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person, or does not present such corporate opportunity
to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates.

customer or supplier of the Corporation or may employ or otherwise engage any officer or employee of the Corporation.
Section
9.4 The Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director if such opportunity
is expressly offered to such person in writing solely in his or her capacity as a director of the Corporation, and the provisions of
Section 9.2 shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.
Section
9.5 In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be
a potential corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Corporation is financially, legally
or contractually prevented from undertaking, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporation’s business or is of no
practical advantage to the Corporation or (iii) is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

This Voting Agreement (this
“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [ ], 2026, by and among Noble Africa LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company and a direct, subsidiary of Parent (as defined below) (the “Company”), ENDRA Life Sciences Inc., a Delaware
corporation (“PubCo”), and the undersigned holder (the “Stockholder”) of Shares (as defined below)
of PubCo. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger
Agreement (as defined below).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, concurrently with
the execution and delivery hereof, ASP Isotopes Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), the Company, Renergen
Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of South Africa and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (“OpCo”)
which shall be contributed into the Company prior to the Merger, PubCo, and Kruger Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
of even date herewith (as such agreement may be amended or supplemented from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof, the “Merger
Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as the
surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Merger”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement.
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof,
the Stockholder is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) and has sole or shared voting power with respect
to such number of Shares, and holds PubCo options or PubCo warrants to acquire the number of Shares, as indicated in Appendix A.
WHEREAS, as an inducement
and a condition to the willingness of the Company and PubCo to enter into the Merger Agreement, each Stockholder has agreed to enter into
and perform this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of, and as a condition to, Company and PubCo entering into the Merger Agreement, each Stockholder, PubCo and the Company agree as follows:
1. Certain
Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.
For all purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
(a) “Shares”
means (i) all shares of PubCo capital stock owned, beneficially or of record, by the Stockholder as of the date hereof, (ii) all
additional shares of PubCo capital stock acquired by the Stockholder, beneficially or of record, during the period commencing with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and expiring on the Expiration Date (as defined below) and (iii) any shares of capital
stock or other equity securities of PubCo that such Stockholder acquires or with respect to which such Stockholder otherwise
acquires sole or shared voting power (including any proxy) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and expiring on
the Expiration Date, whether by exercise of any PubCo options or PubCo warrants or otherwise, including, without limitation, by
gift, succession, in the event of a stock split or as a dividend or distribution of any Shares.
Page 1
2. [Reserved].
3. Agreement
to Vote Shares. The Stockholder covenants to the Company and PubCo as follows:
(a) Until
the Expiration Date, at any meeting of the stockholders of PubCo, however called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof,
and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of PubCo, the Stockholder shall (i) appear at such meeting as
present (in person or by proxy) for purposes of calculating a quorum and (ii) vote, or exercise its right to consent with respect
to, all Shares held by the Stockholder as of the record date for such meeting (A) in favor of the PubCo Stockholder Matters, and (B)
against any agreement, transaction or other matter that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with,
delay, postpone or materially and adversely affect the PubCo Stockholder Matters (the “Contemplated
Transactions”). Stockholder shall not take or commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit or otherwise restrict Stockholder from transferring, selling, exchanging,
pledging or otherwise disposing of any Shares.
(b) If
the Stockholder is the beneficial owner, but not the record holder, of Shares, the Stockholder agrees to take all actions necessary to
cause the record holder and any nominees to be present (in person or by proxy) and vote all the Stockholder’s Shares in accordance
with this Section 3.
(c) In
the event of a stock split, stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the capital stock of PubCo by reason of any split-up, reverse
stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, reincorporation, exchange of shares or the like, the term “Shares”
shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which
or for which any or all of such shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.
4. Action
in Stockholder Capacity Only. The Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a
record holder and/or beneficial owner, as applicable, of its Shares and, to the extent applicable, not in the Stockholder’s
capacity as a director or officer of PubCo. Nothing herein shall limit or affect the Stockholder’s ability to act as an
officer or director of PubCo, as applicable.
Page 2
5. Irrevocable
Proxy. The Stockholder hereby revokes (or agrees to cause to be revoked) any proxies that the Stockholder has heretofore granted
with respect to its Shares. In the event and to the extent that the Stockholder fails to vote the Shares in accordance with Section
3 at any applicable meeting of the stockholders of PubCo or pursuant to any applicable written consent of the stockholders of
PubCo, the Stockholder shall be deemed to have irrevocably granted to, and appointed, PubCo, and any individual designated in
writing by it, and each of them individually, as his, her or its proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for
and in its name, place and stead, to vote his, her or its Shares in any action by written consent of PubCo stockholders or at any
meeting of PubCo’s stockholders called with respect to any of the matters specified in, and in accordance and
consistent with, Section 3 of this Agreement. PubCo agrees not to exercise the proxy granted herein for any purpose other
than the purposes described in this Agreement and the Stockholder affirms that the proxy set forth in this Section 5 is given
in connection with, and granted in consideration of, and as an inducement to the Company, PubCo and Merger Sub to enter into the
Merger Agreement and that such proxy is given to secure the obligations of the Stockholder under Section 3. Except as
otherwise provided for herein, the 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. The irrevocable proxy and
power of attorney granted herein shall survive the death or incapacity of such Stockholder and the obligations of such Stockholder
shall be binding on such Stockholder’s heirs, personal representatives, successors, transferees and assigns. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, the irrevocable proxy granted hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the termination
of this Agreement.
6. Documentation
and Information. The Stockholder shall permit and hereby authorizes PubCo and the Company to publish and disclose in all documents
and schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document that PubCo or the Company reasonably determines to
be necessary in connection with the Merger and any of the Contemplated Transactions, a copy of this Agreement, the Stockholder’s
identity and ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Stockholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement. Each
of PubCo and the Company is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 6.
7. Representations
and Warranties of the Stockholder. The Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to PubCo and the Company as follows:
(a) (i)
The Stockholder is the beneficial or record owner of the shares of PubCo capital stock, PubCo options, and or PubCo warrants indicated
in Appendix A (each of which shall be deemed to be “held” by the Stockholder for purposes of Section 3 unless
otherwise expressly stated with respect to any shares in Appendix A), free and clear of any and all Encumbrances (except for any
Encumbrance that may be imposed pursuant to this Agreement, and Encumbrances arising under applicable securities or community property
laws); and (ii) the Stockholder does not beneficially own any securities of PubCo other than the shares of PubCo Common Stock and rights
to purchase shares of PubCo Common Stock set forth in Appendix A.
(b) With
respect to any Stockholder that is an entity, the Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws
of the jurisdiction of its formation and is qualified to conduct its business in those jurisdictions necessary to perform this Agreement.
(c) Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Stockholder has full power, legal capacity and authority to (i) make, enter into and
carry out the terms of this Agreement and (ii) vote all of its Shares in the manner set forth in this Agreement without the consent
or approval of, or any other action on the part of, any other person or entity (including any Governmental Entity). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder has not entered into any voting agreement (other than this Agreement) with any
person with respect to any of the Stockholder’s Shares, granted any person any proxy (revocable or irrevocable) or power of
attorney with respect to any of the Stockholder’s Shares, deposited any of the Stockholder’s Shares in a voting trust or
entered into any arrangement or agreement with any person limiting or affecting the Stockholder’s legal power,
authority or right to vote the Stockholder’s Shares on any matter contemplated by this Agreement.
Page 3
(d) This
Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery
by the other parties hereto) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Stockholder enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance
with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy and other similar laws and general principles of equity. The execution
and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder and the performance by the Stockholder of the agreements and obligations hereunder will
not result in any breach or violation of or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any term of any Contract or if applicable
any provision of an organizational document (including a certificate of incorporation) to or by which the Stockholder is a party or bound,
or any applicable law to which the Stockholder (or any of the Stockholder’s assets) is subject or bound, except for any such breach,
violation, conflict or default which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to materially impair or adversely
affect the Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(e) The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder do not and will not require any consent, approval, authorization
or permit of, action by, filing with or notification to, any Governmental Entity, except for any such consent, approval, authorization,
permit, action, filing or notification the failure of which to make or obtain, individually or in the aggregate, has not and would not
materially impair the Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(f) The
Stockholder has had the opportunity to review the Merger Agreement and this Agreement with counsel of the Stockholder’s own choosing.
The Stockholder has had an opportunity to review with its own tax advisors the tax consequences of the Merger and the other Contemplated
Transactions. The Stockholder understands that it must rely solely on its advisors and not on any statements or representations made by
PubCo, the Company or any of their respective agents or representatives with respect to the tax consequences of the Merger and the other
Contemplated Transactions. The Stockholder understands that such Stockholder (and not PubCo, the Company, or the Surviving Corporation)
shall be responsible for such Stockholder’s tax liability that may arise as a result of the Merger or the other Contemplated Transactions.
The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the Company, PubCo and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance
upon the Stockholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
(g) With
respect to the Stockholder, as of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending against, or, to the knowledge
of the Stockholder, threatened against, the Stockholder or any of the Stockholder’s properties or assets (including the Shares)
that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the ability of the Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder
or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

8. Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate and shall cease to be of any further force or effect as of the earliest of (a) such date and time as
the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to the terms thereof, (b) the Effective Time, (c) such time the Stockholder ceases
being a beneficial owner of the Shares or (d) the time this Agreement is terminated upon mutual written agreement of the parties to
terminate this Agreement (clauses (a)-(d), the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that (i) Section
9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party hereto
from any liability for any material and willful breach of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time.
9. Miscellaneous
Provisions.
(a) Amendments.
No amendment of this Agreement shall be effective against any party unless it shall be in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto.
(b) Entire
Agreement; Counterparts; Exchanges by Electronic Transmission or Facsimile. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, both written and oral, among
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts
or otherwise) by all parties by facsimile or electronic transmission in PDF format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.
(c) Applicable
Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless
of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. In any action or proceeding between any of the
parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each of the parties: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to
the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state court of the State of Delaware or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter
jurisdiction, the federal courts sitting in Delaware, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard
and determined exclusively in accordance with clause (i) of this Section 9(c), (iii) waives any objection to laying venue in any
such action or proceeding in such courts, (iv) waives any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction
over any party, (v) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given
in accordance with Section 9(h) of this Agreement and (vi) irrevocably and unconditionally waives the right to trial by jury.
(d) Assignment.
This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of a party’s rights or obligations
hereunder may be assigned or delegated (except by Merger) by such party without the prior written consent of the other party, and any
attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights or obligations by such party without the other party’s
prior written consent shall be void and of no effect.
(e) No
Third Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person any right, benefit
or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
Page 5
(f) Severability.
Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the
offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court
making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace
such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of
the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such
court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable
term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business
and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.
(g) Specific
Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party 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 any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed
in accordance with their specific terms (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement)
or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches
of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof the state court of the State of Delaware or, to the extent
such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the United States Southern District Court for the District of Delaware, this being
in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and each of the parties waives any bond, surety or other
security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Each of the parties further agrees that it will not oppose the
granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at
law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.
(h) Notices.
All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly delivered (i) one (1) Business Day after being
sent for next Business Day delivery, fees prepaid, via a reputable international overnight courier service, (ii) upon delivery in the
case of delivery by hand or (iii) on the date delivered in the place of delivery if sent by email or facsimile (with a written or electronic
confirmation of delivery) prior to 6:00 p.m. (Delaware City time), otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day, (A) if to the Company

designated therein to receive copies; and/or (B) if to the Stockholder, to the Stockholder’s address, electronic mail address or

Except to the extent required by applicable Law or regulation, and subject to Section 4, as applicable, the Stockholder shall
hold any non-public information regarding the Company, this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Merger in strict confidence and
shall not divulge any such information to any third person until the Company and PubCo have publicly disclosed their entry into the
Merger Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that the Stockholder may disclose such information to its Affiliates,
attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other advisors (provided that such Persons are subject to confidentiality obligations at
least as restrictive as those contained herein). Neither the Stockholder nor any of its Affiliates (other than PubCo, whose actions
shall be governed by the Merger Agreement), and subject to Section 4, as applicable, shall issue or cause the publication of
any press release or other public announcement with respect to PubCo, this Agreement, the Merger, the Merger Agreement or the other
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby without the prior written consent of the Company and PubCo, except as may be required by
applicable Law in which circumstance such announcing party shall make reasonable efforts to consult with the Company and PubCo to
the extent practicable.

CONFIDENTIAL | NOT FOR FURTHER DISTRIBUTION Disclaimers 1 This presentation (including any accompanying oral presentation, this “Presentation”) is being furnished solely to recipients that are “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144 A of the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended (the “Securities Act”)), “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 506 of Regulation D) or non - U . S . persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) by Noble Africa LLC (the “Company” or “Noble Africa”), solely for informational purposes of considering the opportunity to participate in the proposed private placement of equity securities by the Company (the “Potential Offering”) in connection with a merger between ENDRA Life Sciences Inc . (“ENDRA”), the Company, Renergen Limited and ASP Isotopes, Inc . (“ASPI”) (collectively, the “Companies,” and the proposed merger transaction, the “Proposed Merger” and together with the Potential Offering, the “Proposed Transactions”) . By accepting this Presentation, the recipient acknowledges and agrees that all of the information contained herein is confidential, that the recipient will distribute, disclose and use such information only for such purpose and that the recipient shall not distribute, disclose or use such information for any other purpose other than the evaluation of the Proposed Transactions . THIS PRESENTATION SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL, OR THE SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY, OR A RECOMMENDATION TO PURCHASE, ANY SECURITIES IN ANY JURISDICTION, OR THE SOLICITATION OF ANY PROXY, VOTE, CONSENT OR APPROVAL IN ANY JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS, NOR SHALL THERE BE ANY OFFER OR SALE OF ANY SECURITIES IN ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION TO ANY PERSON TO WHOM IT IS UNLAWFUL TO MAKE SUCH OFFER OR SOLICITATION IN SUCH STATE OR JURISDICTION . ANY SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY TO BE OFFERED IN ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 , AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS . ANY SECURITIES TO BE OFFERED IN ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC”), ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION, OR OTHER UNITED STATES OR FOREIGN REGULATORY AUTHORITY OR DETERMINED THAT THIS PRESENTATION IS TRUTHFUL AND COMPLETE . SUCH SECURITIES WILL BE OFFERED AND SOLD SOLELY IN RELIANCE ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS PROVIDED BY THE SECURITIES ACT AND RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER (INCLUDING REGULATION D OR REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) . Any investment in the Company is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty . This Presentation contains, and the accompanying oral presentation may contain “forward - looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U . S . Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 . Forward - looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance . Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions . Forward - looking statements can be identified by words such as “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “projects,” “will,” “may,” “might,” and words of a similar nature . Examples of forward - looking statements include, among others but are not limited to : he failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Merger and any transactions contemplated thereby ; costs related to the Proposed Merger and as a result of becoming a public company ; the risk that the post - closing combined company experiences difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations following the consummation of the Proposed Merger ; the anticipated production quantities and timing for the commencement of commercial supply of helium and LNG upon completion of Phase 1 and 2 of the Renergen helium project ; the anticipated progress and timing for completion of Phase 1 and 2 of the Renergen helium project ; the ability to fund completion of the development of the Renergen helium project ; statements we make regarding expected operating results, such as future revenues and prospects from the potential commercialization of helium and LNG, future performance under contracts, and our strategies for product development or extraction of resources, engaging with potential customers, market position, and financial results . Because forward - looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, many of which are outside our control . Our actual results, financial condition, and events may differ materially from those indicated in the forward - looking statements based upon a number of factors . Forward - looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance or developments . You are strongly cautioned that reliance on any forward - looking statements involves known and unknown risks and uncertainties . Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward - looking statements . There are many important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward - looking statements, including, but not limited to : the outcomes of various strategies and projects undertaken by the Company ; the potential impact of laws or government regulations or policies in South Africa ; our future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash ; our ability to obtain funding for our operations and future growth ; our reliance on the efforts of third parties ; the financial terms of any current and future commercial arrangements ; our ability to complete certain transactions and realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions and contracts ; the competitive nature of our industry ; the fact that the dual class structure of ENDRA following the Proposed Merger (as defined below) common stock will have the effect of concentrating voting power with ASPI and its affiliates, which may depress the market value of the Class A common stock and will limit a stockholder or a new investor’s ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control, the market price, trading volume and marketability of ENDRA’s Class A common stock following the Proposed Merger may be significantly affected by numerous factors beyond ENDRA’s control ; because ENDRA will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq following the Proposed Merger, ENDRA’s stockholders may not have certain corporate governance protections that are available to stockholders of companies that are not controlled companies ; the outcome of any proceedings that may be instituted against ENDRA or the Company following the announcement of the Proposed Transactions ; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Merger, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitability and costs related to the Proposed Transaction ; and such other factors as are set forth in the “Risk Factor Summary” in this Presentation, and the other risks and uncertainties described in ENDRA’s periodic public filings with the SEC, including but not limited to those described under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward - Looking Statements” in ENDRA's Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the fiscal year ended December 31 , 2025 , ENDRA's subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10 - Q and in ENDRA's other filings made with the SEC from time to time, which are available via the SEC’s website at www . sec . gov, and those described under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward - Looking Statements” in ASPI Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the fiscal year ended December 31 , 2025 , ASPI's subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10 - Q and in ASPI's other filings made with the SEC from time to time, which are available via the SEC’s website at www . sec . gov . All forward - looking statements are qualified by reference to the cautionary statements set forth herein and should not be relied upon . Recipients are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward - looking statements, and none of the Placement Agents (as defined below), the Companies or any of their respective representatives undertake any duty to update these forward - looking statements or the other information contained in this Presentation .

The information in this Presentation has not been reviewed by the SEC and certain information may not comply in certain respects with SEC rules . ENDRA intends to file a registration statement on Form S - 4 (the “Registration Statement”) that includes a proxy statement with respect to ENDRA's shareholder meeting to vote on the Proposed Transactions and a prospectus with respect to ENDRA’s securities to be issued in connection with the Proposed Transactions .

This presentation includes market and industry data and forecasts that we obtained from internal research, publicly available information and industry publications and surveys . Such information could be wrong because of the method by which sources obtained their data and because information cannot always be verified with certainty due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data - gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties . 2
CONFIDENTIAL | NOT FOR FURTHER DISTRIBUTION Risk Factors 3 Renergen’s business is subject to numerous material and other risks and uncertainties that you should be aware of in evaluating Renergen’s business . Please refer to the factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1 A . “Risk Factors” of ASP Isotopes Inc . ’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the fiscal year ended December 31 , 2025 , and any amendments thereto and in the company’s subsequent reports and filings with the U . S . Securities and Exchange Commission . These risks include, but are not limited to, the following : Risks Related to Renergen’s Limited Operating History, Financial Position and Need for Additional Capital – Renergen has incurred significant net losses since inception, and we expect to continue to incur significant net losses for the foreseeable future . – Renergen also has a limited operating history, which may make it difficult to evaluate Renergen’s prospects and likelihood of success . – Renergen currently has limited sales attributable to LNG and no sales attributable to liquefied helium . – Renergen will require substantial additional capital to finance its operations, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all . Risks Related to Operations in South Africa – Our operations in South Africa could be disrupted for a variety of reasons, including economic, political or social instability, which could prevent us from completing our development activities or have a material adverse effect on our operations and profits . Risks Related to the Expansion of the Virginia Gas Project – As we further expand Renergen’s current operations into Phase 2 , we may face additional problems associated with natural gas exploration and development projects, including potential problems securing additional supporting authorizations, licenses and permits, as well as unforeseen difficulties, delays and costs in construction (including potential cost - overruns, if underlying assumptions prove to be inaccurate) and operation of Phase 2 . – Managing a project as substantial in size as Phase 2 of the Virginia Gas Project requires sufficient technical, commercial and project management capacity . There can be no assurance that Renergen’s current management team has sufficient capacity, or that the project will operate as expected, incur costs within expected estimates, or that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing for Phase 2 in a timely manner and/or on acceptable terms, if at all . Risks Related to Renergen’s Business – Renergen’s drilling results in South Africa may be more uncertain than drilling results in areas that are developed and have established production . Additionally, Renergen’s identified drilling locations are scheduled out over many years, making them susceptible to uncertainties that could materially alter the occurrence or timing of their drilling . – Natural gas prices are volatile . A sustained decline in natural gas prices could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations . Further, we may be unable to obtain, maintain or renew permits, leases or licenses necessary for Renergen’s operations, the failure of which could impair our ability to conduct Renergen’s operations . Risks Related to Renergen’s Indebtedness and Liquidity – The DFC Credit Facility Agreement and IDC Loan Agreement place operating restrictions on Renergen and create default risks . Further, we may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of Renergen’s indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy Renergen’s obligations under applicable debt instruments, which may not be successful . – Renergen’s outstanding indebtedness under the IDC Loan Agreement bears interest at a variable rate, which makes us more vulnerable to increases in interest rates and could cause Renergen’s interest expense to increase and decrease cash available for operations and other purposes . Risks Related to the Proposed Merger and the Ownership of the Company's Units – The Proposed Merger may not be consummated in a timely matter or at all . – ENDRA may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Merger and any transactions contemplated thereby . – ENDRA may experience difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations following the consummation of the Proposed Merger . – The dual class structure of ENDRA's common stock following the proposed Merger will have the effect of concentrating voting power with ASPI and its affiliates, which may depress the market value of the Class A common stock following the Proposed Merger, into which the Company's units will convert following the proposed Merger, and will limit a stockholder or a new investor's ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control . – The market price, trading volume and marketability of ENDRA's Class A common stock following the proposed Merger may be significantly affected by numerous factors beyond ENDRA's control . – ENDRA may need to raise additional capital to grow our business and may not be able to do so on favorable terms, if at all . Future issuances of equity or debt securities may adversely affect the value of ENDRA's common stock . – Future sales of Class A common stock following the proposed Merger may affect the market price of ENDRA's Class A common stock . – Because ENDRA is expected to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules following the Proposed Merger, ENDRA's stockholders may not have certain corporate governance protections that are available to stockholders of companies that are not controlled companies .
