Agreement and Plan of Merger

On November 4, 2024, NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Switzerland (NASDAQ: NLSP) (the “Company”), NLS Pharmaceutics (Israel) Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger Sub”), and Kadimastem Ltd., an Israeli publicly traded company limited by shares (TASE: KDST) (“Kadimastem”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) Kadimastem will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving company (the “Merger”), and (ii) at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding ordinary share of Kadimastem, no par value (“Kadimastem Ordinary Share”), will be exchanged for and automatically converted into the right to receive from the Company that certain number of fully paid and nonassessable common shares, 0.80 Swiss Franc (CHF) par value per share, of the Company (“Company Common Share”) as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”). It is anticipated that the initial Exchange Ratio is estimated to result in Kadimastem shareholders holding 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Shares on a fully diluted basis, subject to certain adjustments as of the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”).

The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, following the Closing, the Company shall work diligently to dispose of any intellectual property, assets, rights, contracts, agreements, leases, arrangements (regardless of form), approvals, licenses, permits, whether current or future, whether or not contingent, of the Company and its subsidiaries related solely to any product candidate of the Company and its subsidiaries, other than the Company’s Dual Orexin Agonist platform (such assets to be disposed, the “Legacy Assets”). It is expected that the proceeds from any such disposition will be distributed to the shareholders and warrantholders of the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the terms and conditions of a contingent value rights agreement, substantially in the form attached to the Merger Agreement and as Exhibit 99.2 hereto (the “CVR Agreement”), subject to the adjustments set forth therein.

At the Effective Time, each:

The Merger Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby have been approved by the Company board of directors (the “Board”) and Kadimastem’s board of directors, and the Board has resolved, subject to customary exceptions, to recommend that the shareholders of the Company approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein.

In connection with the Closing, the Company’s officers and members of the Board as of the Effective Time will resign and it is anticipated that Kadimastem’s officers and members of its board of directors as of the Effective Time will become the Company’s officers and members of the Board, respectively, as the Closing; provided, however, Mr. Alexander Zwyer shall not resign as a member of the Board at the Effective Time and shall remain as a member of the Board and, for a period of one year following the date of the Closing, the Company shall appoint to the Board one individual nominated in writing by Mr. Zwyer and acceptable to the Company.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, Merger Sub, and Kadimastem that are customary for a transaction of this nature, including among others, covenants regarding the conduct of the Company’s business during the pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the conduct of Kadimastem’s business during the pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, public disclosures and the use of reasonable best efforts to make all filings required by governmental entities following the execution of the Merger Agreement. In addition, certain covenants require each of the parties to use, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, their reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains closing conditions that are customary for a transaction of this nature, including the requirement for approval by the shareholders of each of Kadimastem and the Company. In addition, the Merger Agreement requires the Company to have paid off, redeemed or satisfied all of its trade and vendor payables, and all of its debts to its officers, directors and shareholders. Furthermore, the Merger Agreement requires the Company to have at least $600,000 in cash at the Closing and requires Kadimastem to have at least $3,500,000 in cash at the Closing, in each case subject to adjustments as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Exchange Ratio is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement, including, among other things, in the event of the failure of the Company or Kadimastem to satisfy those certain closing conditions set forth above; provided, however, that in the event that the Closing Indebtedness (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is greater than $0 and/or the Closing Cash (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is less than $600,000, the resulting number of Company Common Shares issued as Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall not exceed the product of (i) the number of Company Common Shares issued as Merger Consideration in accordance with the Exchange Ratio assuming that the Closing Indebtedness is $0 and the Closing Cash is $600,000 multiplied by (ii) 1.2.

The Merger Agreement includes covenants requiring the Company and its representatives not to (i) initiate, seek, solicit or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries), or knowingly induce or take any other action which would reasonably be expected to lead to the making, submission or announcement of any Parent Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) engage in negotiations or discussions with, or provide any non-public information or non-public data to, any person (other than Kadimastem or any of its affiliates or any of its representatives) relating to any Parent Acquisition Proposal or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or other agreement (except that if the Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith that the failure to grant any waiver or release would be inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law, the Company may waive any such standstill provision in order to permit a third party to make a Parent Acquisition Proposal), (iii) enter into any agreement, including any letter agreement, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle merger agreement, or similar agreement relating to any Parent Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) otherwise resolve to do any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding these restrictions, the Company may under certain circumstances provide information to and engage in discussions or negotiations with third parties with respect to an acquisition proposal that the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes or is reasonably likely to constitute or lead to a Parent Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement). In addition, the Board is permitted, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, to make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

The Merger Agreement contains customary termination rights for each of the Company and Kadimastem, including the right of the Company and Kadimastem to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before January 31, 2025. The Merger Agreement also provides that the Company shall pay to Kadimastem a termination fee of $10,000,000 plus the Company Operating Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and the Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Merger Agreement) if the Company terminates the Merger Agreement prior to obtaining the Parent Requisite Vote (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a Parent Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in accordance with terms of the Merger Agreement.

Contingent Value Right Agreement

Prior to the Closing, the Company will enter into the CVR Agreement with VStock Transfer, LLC, which will govern the terms of the CVRs. Each CVR will represent the right to additional payments based on the proceeds, subject to certain adjustments, received by the Company from the disposition of the Legacy Assets.

The right to the CVRs as evidenced by the CVR Agreement is a contractual right only and will not be transferable, except in the limited circumstances specified in the CVR Agreement.

Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into support agreements (each, a “Support Agreement”) with certain shareholders and of the Company (the “Supporting Persons”), pursuant to which each Supporting Person has agreed, among other things, to vote its Company Common Shares in favor of the Merger at meetings of the Company’s shareholders convened to approve the Merger. The Support Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the date that the Shareholder Resolutions (as defined in the Support Agreement) are approved, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (c) written notice of termination of the Support Agreement by the Company to the Supporting Person, and (d) 365 days from the Effective Date (as defined in the Support Agreement).

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement, the CVR Agreement, and the Support Agreements, and the transactions contemplated thereby, do not purport to be complete, and are subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the each agreement, which are attached as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. They are not intended to provide any factual information about the Company, Kadimastem, or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement have been made solely for the purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specified dates; were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement except as expressly set forth therein; are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by the Company’s shareholders, but rather as a way of allocating the risk between the parties in the event that statements therein prove to be inaccurate; have been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of the Merger Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Merger Agreement itself; may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts; may no longer be true as of a given date; and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by the Company’s shareholders. The Company’s shareholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement (except, following the Effective Time, with respect to the Company’s shareholders’ right to receive the CVRs and any consideration that may be distributed in accordance with the CVR Agreement) and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the Company, Kadimastem, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s or Kadimastem’s public disclosures.

AGREEMENT

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the ICL, Merger Sub (as the target company (Chevrat HaYaad)) shall be merged with and into the Company (as an absorbing company (HaChevra HaKoletet)). Following the Merger, the Company (a) shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”), while the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease; (b) shall be governed by the laws of the State of Israel; (c) shall maintain a registered office in the State of Israel; and (d) shall succeed to and assume all of the rights, properties and obligations of Merger Sub and the Company in accordance with the ICL.

1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at a time and on a date (the “Closing Date”) to be specified by the Parties, which shall be no later than the second Business Day after satisfaction (or waiver) of the latest to occur of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), remotely by exchange of documents and signatures via Electronic Delivery, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the Parties hereto.

1.3 Effective Time. As soon as practicable after the determination of the date on which the Closing is to take place, each of the Company and Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to), in coordination with each other, deliver to the Registrar of Companies of the State of Israel (the “Companies Registrar”) a notice of the contemplated Merger which shall inform the Companies Registrar that all conditions to the Merger under the ICL and this Agreement have been met and set forth the proposed date of the Closing on which the Companies Registrar is requested to issue a certificate evidencing the Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the ICL (the “Certificate of Merger”) after notice that the Closing has occurred is served to the Companies Registrar, which the parties shall deliver on the Closing Date. The Merger shall become effective upon the issuance by the Companies Registrar of the Certificate of Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the ICL (such date and time being referred to herein as the “Effective Time”). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Merger shall be declared effective and that the issuance by the Companies Registrar of the Certificate of Merger in accordance with Section 323(5) of the ICL shall both occur on the Closing Date.

1.4 Articles of Association. The articles of association of the Surviving Corporation shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

1.5 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the ICL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, by virtue of, and simultaneously with, the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any shareholder of the Parent, Merger Sub, and Company, (a) Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Corporation; (b) all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation; (c) all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation; and (d) all the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company (as the Surviving Corporation) shall continue unaffected by the Merger in accordance with the ICL.

1.6 Officers and Directors. The officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately at the Closing shall be the officers of the Company, in each case until their respective successors are duly appointed or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

ARTICLE II
EFFECTS OF MERGER ON SHARE CAPITAL; EXCHANGE OF SHARES

2.1 Effect on Securities.

2.1.0 Conversion of Shares.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action by Parent, the Company, Merger Sub, or any of their respective shareholders, each Ordinary Share of the Company, no par value, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (individually a “Share” and collectively the “Shares”), other than Shares owned by the Company or its Subsidiaries (dormant or otherwise), or by Parent or Merger Sub, if any, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company, or the holders thereof, be exchanged for and converted into the right to receive a number of newly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, subject to Section 2.1.2 below (such shares of Parent Common Stock, the “Merger Consideration”) without interest; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Agreement, and regardless of the calculations set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto, in the event that the Closing Indebtedness is greater than $0 and/or the Closing Cash is less than $600,000, the resulting number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued as Merger Consideration shall not exceed the product of (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued as Merger Consideration in accordance with the Exchange Ratio assuming that the Closing Indebtedness is $0 and the Closing Cash is $600,000 multiplied by (ii) 1.2.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or the Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Shares), subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar event, then the Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly adjusted to provide the holders of the Shares and Company Equity Awards the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar event.

(c) Each Share to be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section ‎2.1.0(a) shall no longer be outstanding and shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist, and the holders of certificates (“Certificates”) or book-entry shares (“Book-Entry Shares”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Shares, shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than the right to receive, upon surrender of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section ‎2.2, the Merger Consideration.

(d) At the Effective Time, each Share held as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Company (dormant or otherwise) shall be automatically cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no shares of Parent Common Stock shall be delivered with respect thereto.

(e) Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for Section 102 Shares and Section 102 Non Trustee Shares shall be issued to the 102 Trustee on behalf of the beneficial holders of Section 102 Shares and Section 102 Non Trustee Shares under the Assumed Company Plans.

(f) The Parent Common Stock issued as Merger Consideration shall be, upon effectiveness of the F-4, fully registered and freely tradable, and not subject to any lock-up or other similar restrictions.

2.1.1 Conversion of Merger Sub Share Capital. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action by Parent, the Company, Merger Sub, or any shareholder of Parent, the Company or Merger Sub, each outstanding ordinary share of Merger Sub shall be converted into one ordinary share of the Surviving Corporation and shall be registered in the name of Parent in the shareholders register of the Surviving Corporation.

2.1.2 No Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares will be issued. All fractional share amounts shall be rounded down to the nearest whole based on the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to the holder of Shares who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder).

2.1.3 Estimated Closing Statement.

(a) Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a statement certified by the Company’s chief executive officer (the “Company Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth (a) a good faith calculation of the Company’s estimate of the Company Closing Cash as of the Reference Time, along with reasonably detailed calculations thereof.

(b) Not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Company a statement certified by Parent’s chief executive officer (the “Parent Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth (a) a good faith calculation of Parent’s estimate of the Closing Indebtedness as of the Reference Time, along with reasonably detailed calculations thereof, (b) a good faith calculation of Parent’s estimate of the Closing Cash as of the Reference Time, along with reasonably detailed calculations thereof, and (c) the resulting estimated Merger Consideration to be issued by Parent at the Closing using the Exchange Ratio, based on such estimates of Closing Indebtedness and Closing Cash and the Company’s estimate of Company Closing Cash set forth in the Company Estimated Closing Statement, which Parent Estimated Closing Statement shall be subject to the review and the reasonable approval by the Company. Promptly after delivering the Parent Estimated Closing Statement to the Company, Parent will meet with the Company to review and discuss the Parent Estimated Closing Statement and Parent will consider in good faith the Company’s comments to the Parent Estimated Closing Statement and make any appropriate adjustments to the Parent Estimated Closing Statement prior to the Closing, as mutually approved by Parent and the Company both acting reasonably and in good faith, which adjusted Parent Estimated Closing Statement shall thereafter become the Parent Estimated Closing Statement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Parent Estimated Closing Statement and the determinations contained therein shall be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or other applicable accounting principles and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. The Parent Estimated Closing Statement will also include with respect to Closing Indebtedness the amount owed to each creditor of Parent and, with respect to any Closing Indebtedness that the Company and Parent agree to satisfy at the Closing, payment instructions, together with payoff and lien release letters from Parent’s creditors in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company.

2.2 Exchange Procedures.

2.2.0 Designation of Exchange Agent and Information Agent; Deposit of Exchange Fund. Prior to or at the Closing, Parent shall designate its transfer agent, or a depository, bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the exchange agent in connection with the Merger (which shall designate a local Israeli sub-paying agent) (the “Exchange Agent” and “Israeli Sub-Agent”, respectively) and enter into an exchange agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, for the payment of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section ‎2.1 above. Prior to or substantially concurrently with the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares (excluding Section 102 Shares and Section 102 Non Trustee Shares, in respect of which the Parent Common Stock shall be issued directly to the 102 Trustee) for exchange in accordance with this Article ‎2 through the Exchange Agent, the full number of shares of Parent Common Stock, which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form, issuable pursuant to Section ‎2.1 above in exchange for outstanding Shares (such shares of Parent Common Stock hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”), in exchange for outstanding Company Shares. In the event the Exchange Fund shall at any time be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section ‎2.1 above, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional shares with the Exchange Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to Section ‎2.1 or Section ‎2.2.5.

2.2.1 Exchange Procedures with Respect to Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but not later than three Business Days thereafter), Parent shall direct the Exchange Agent to deliver to a bank or trust company or other nominee appointed by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Parent (the “Coordinator”) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which the holders of record of Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time become entitled to receive pursuant to Section ‎2.1.1 above (other than holders of Section 102 Shares and Section 102 Non Trustee Shares, which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be eligible to receive the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to Section ‎2.2.5 below and not this Section ‎2.2.2).

If so required, Parent shall cooperate with the Company by taking all action reasonably required in order to obtain an ISA Exemption (defined below).

2.3.3 At or before the Effective Time, the Company shall, to the extent reasonably requested, cause to be effected, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Parent, amendments to the Company Plans to give effect to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, provided that such amendments would not adversely impact any of the rights granted to Company optionees under such Company Plans.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, (i) such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid or issued, as applicable, to such Persons in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, and (ii) the Payor shall provide to the payment recipient in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made satisfactory evidence regarding any such withholding.

2.4.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4.0, but subject to the provisions of the Tax Rulings, with respect to Israeli Taxes, and in accordance with the Israeli Sub-Agent undertaking provided prior to Closing by the Israeli Sub-Agent to Parent as required under Section 6.2.4.3 of the Income Tax Circular 19/2018 (Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that includes Consideration that will be transferred to the Seller at Future Dates), any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement to any payee (other than holders of Section 102 Awards, Section 3(i) Options, and any other Merger Consideration issuable to payment recipients, which shall be delivered to the Section 102 Trustee or the 103K Trustee, as applicable), shall be paid to and retained by the Exchange Agent, in each case for the benefit of such payment recipient for a period of 180 days from the Closing Date or an earlier date required in writing by such payment recipient (the “Withholding Drop Date”), during which time unless requested otherwise by the ITA, no payments shall be made by the Exchange Agent to any payment recipient and no amounts for Israeli Taxes shall be withheld from the payments or other consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, except as provided below and during which time each payment recipient may obtain a Valid Tax Certificate. If a payment recipient delivers, no later than three Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date a Valid Tax Certificate to the Exchange Agent, determining tax liability, such shareholder shall transfer the tax liability amount to the Exchange Agent, the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Tax Certificate and the balance ‎of the applicable Merger Consideration shall be paid and issued to such person.

To the extent the Exchange Agent and/or the Israeli Sub-Agent withholds any amounts with respect to Israeli Taxes, any amounts so withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable payment recipient. If the applicable payment recipient does not satisfy his Israeli Tax obligation to the satisfaction of Parent or the Israeli Sub-Agent prior to the Withholding Drop Date, the Exchange Agent or the Israeli Sub-Agent will: (i) to the extent applicable, sell a portion of the Parent Common Stock applicable to such payment recipient in the stock exchange, in order to allow the payment of any Israeli Taxes as shall be determined by the Israeli Sub-Agent, and transfer the balance to the applicable payment recipient; or (ii) at Parent’s option, which cannot be exercised prior to three Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date and subject to the provisions of the Tax Rulings, if obtained and as applicable, deliver such Merger Consideration back to the Parent, to be paid and issued by the Parent to the applicable payment recipient only following full satisfaction of Israeli Taxes to the Parent’s or the Israeli Sub-Agent’s sole satisfaction.

2.4.2 In the event that a Payor receives a written demand from the ITA to withhold any amount out of the amount held by such Payor for distribution to a particular payee and transfer it to the ITA prior to the Withholding Drop Date, (a) such Payor will notify such payee, in writing, of such withholding reasonably promptly after receipt of such demand, and provide such payee with reasonable time (which shall not be less than 30 days, unless otherwise required by the ITA or any Applicable Law, including the Ordinance, as determined by Payor at its reasonable discretion) to attempt to delay such requirement or extend the period for complying with such requirement as evidenced by a written certificate, ruling, or confirmation from the ITA; and (b) to the extent that any such certificate, ruling, or confirmation is not provided by such payee to the Payor prior to the time required by the ITA or under any Applicable Law, the Exchange Agent shall deliver the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration to such payment recipient only after such payment recipient will satisfy its Israel Tax obligation to the sole satisfactory of Parent or the payment to Parent of the withholding tax amount by the payment recipient, including any interest, indexation and fines required by the ITA in respect thereof.

2.4.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Exchange Agent, the Israeli Sub-Agent and the trustee appointed under the 103K Tax Ruling, if any and as applicable, prior to the applicable withholding date, then the provisions of such Tax Rulings, as the case may be, shall apply and all applicable withholding procedures with respect to any recipients shall be made in accordance with the provisions of such Tax Rulings, as the case may be.

The Company shall include in the request for the Options Tax Ruling a request to exempt Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and their respective agents from any withholding obligation with respect to the Section 102 Awards and Section 3(i) Options. The Options Tax Ruling may be a separate tax ruling or may be incorporated into the 103K Tax Ruling. If the Options Tax Ruling is not granted prior to the Closing or in accordance with the instructions of the ITA, the Company shall seek to obtain prior to the Closing an interim tax ruling confirming, among other things, that Parent, Merger Sub, Exchange Agent or any Person acting on their behalf (including the Exchange Agent and the Israeli Sub-Agent) shall be exempt from Israeli withholding Tax in relation to any payments and the issuance of Assumed Awards in exchange for Section 102 Awards, Section 102 Non Trustee Awards and Section 3(i) Options in connection with the Merger (the “Interim Options Tax Ruling”). To the extent that prior to the Closing an Interim Options Tax Ruling shall have been obtained, then all references in this Agreement to the Options Tax Ruling shall be deemed to refer to such Interim Options Tax Ruling, until such time that a final definitive Options Tax Ruling is obtained.

5.11.1 103K Tax Ruling. As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, subject to Section ‎5.11.3 below, the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and/or accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a Tax ruling permitting any certain shareholders who are covered by such tax ruling (each, an “Covered Seller”) to defer any applicable Israeli Tax with respect to any consideration in Parent Common Stock that such Covered Seller will receive pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 103K of the Ordinance or as otherwise determined by the ITA (it being agreed that in connection therewith, the Parent shall not object to any restrictions, conditions or obligations that are either statutorily required pursuant to Section 103K or other applicable sections of the Ordinance, or are otherwise customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling or reasonably required by the ITA, including the deposit of the new Parent Common Stock with a designated 103K trustee) (the “103K Tax Ruling”). The Company shall include in the request for the 103K Tax Ruling to exempt Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent, and their respective agents from any withholding obligation in connection with issuing Parent Common Stock. If the103K Tax Ruling is not granted prior to the Closing or in accordance with the instructions of the ITA, the Company shall seek to obtain prior to the Closing an interim tax ruling confirming, among other things, that (i) the exchange of the Company’s Shares (other than Section 102 Awards and Section 3(i) Options) as part of the transaction shall not constitute a taxable event, and (ii) the Parent and any Person acting on its behalf (including the Exchange Agent and the Israeli Sub-Agent) shall be exempt from Israeli withholding Tax in relation to issuance of Parent Common Stock in exchange for exchange of the Company’s Shares in connection with the Merger (the “Interim 103K Tax Ruling”). To the extent that prior to the Closing an Interim 103K Tax Ruling shall have been obtained, then all references in this Agreement to the 103K Tax Ruling shall be deemed to refer to such Interim 103K Tax Ruling, until such time that a final definitive 103K Tax Ruling is obtained.

5.11.2 Withholding Tax Ruling. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section ‎5.11.1, to the extent it becomes reasonably apparent to the Company that the ITA will not provide the 103K Tax Ruling in the form requested or that, if obtained, certain shareholders may not be covered under the 103K Tax Ruling, then as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors, and accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling (the “Withholding Tax Ruling”, and, together with the Options Tax Ruling, the Interim Options Tax Ruling, the 103K Tax Ruling and the Interim 103K Tax Ruling, the “Tax Rulings”) that:

(a) with respect to holders of Ordinary Shares (other than Section 102 Awards and Section 3(i) Options) that are non-Israeli residents (as defined in the Ordinance or as will be determined by the ITA), (i) exempting Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax at the source from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement or clarifying that no such obligation exists, or (ii) clearly instructing Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents on how such withholding at the source is to be implemented, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of holders of the Ordinary Shares from which Tax is to be withheld (if any), the rate or rates of withholding to be applied and how to identify any such non-Israeli residents;

(b) with respect to holders of Ordinary Shares that are Israeli residents (as defined in the Ordinance or as will be determined by the ITA) (other than Covered Sellers) and the holders of Section 102 Awards and Section 3(i) Options for which such Tax ruling shall explicitly and in writing defer to the 103K Ruling (or the Interim 103K Ruling) and the Options Tax Ruling (or the Interim Options Tax Ruling), as applicable, (i) exempting Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax at the source from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) clearly instructing Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents on how such withholding at the source is to be executed, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of holders of the Ordinary Shares from which Tax is to be withheld (if any), the rate or rates of withholding to be applied; and

(c) with respect to holders of Company Equity Awards that are not Section 102 Awards or Section 3(i) Options, who are non-Israeli residents (as defined in the Ordinance or as will be determined by the ITA), (i) exempting Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax at the source from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, or clarifying that no such obligation exists, or (ii) instructing Parent, the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents on how such withholding at the source is to be executed, the rate or rates of withholding to be applied and how to identify any such non-Israeli residents.

5.11.3 The text of the applications for, filing relating to, and the final text of the Tax Rulings shall be subject to the prior written confirmation of Parent or its counsel, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. The Company and its counsel and advisors shall not make any application to, or conduct any material negotiation with, the ITA with respect to matters relating to the subject matter of the Tax Rulings, without prior coordination with Parent or its counsel, and will enable Parent’s counsel to participate in all discussions and meetings relating thereto. To the extent that the Parent’s counsel elects not to participate in any meeting or discussion, the Company’s representatives shall provide Parent’s counsel, within two Business Days of such meeting or discussion, with a full report of the discussions held.

5.11.4 Parent will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to assist the Company to obtain the Tax Rulings, provided, however, that the Company agrees to pay all the reasonable costs and expenses of Parent in relation to such efforts, including, but not limited to, reasonable fees to a legal counsel for preparation of any disclosures or prospectus. Provided any Tax Ruling is reasonably acceptable to Parent, Parent hereby undertakes, at all times following the Closing, (i) to comply, and to cause its Subsidiaries to comply, with all of the terms and conditions of the Tax Rulings, and (ii) to refrain from taking or failing to take such actions, which actions or omissions would or would be reasonably expected to breach, jeopardize or adversely change the effectiveness of, and/or the favorable tax treatment prescribed under, such Tax Rulings.

(or any successors to any of the foregoing)), and (iii) the criteria for directors set forth in the then current charter of the Parent’s nominating committee, and will not disqualify Parent from being able to conduct any public offering or private placement pursuant to either Rule 506 (b) or (c) and any “bad boy” provisions of any state securities laws.

5.17.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Parent Requisite Vote, if Parent receives a written Parent Acquisition Proposal from a third party and the receipt of such Parent Acquisition Proposal was not initiated, sought, solicited, knowingly encouraged or knowingly induced in violation of Section 5.17.1, then Parent may (i) contact the person who has made such Parent Acquisition Proposal in order to clarify the terms of such Parent Acquisition Proposal so that the Parent Board (or any committee thereof) may inform itself about such Parent Acquisition Proposal, (ii) furnish information concerning its business, properties or assets to any person pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with terms that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to Parent than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (and nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Parent from entering into such an agreement) and (iii) negotiate and participate in discussions and negotiations with such person concerning a Parent Acquisition Proposal, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), only if the Parent Board first determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Parent Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to constitute or lead to a Parent Superior Proposal.

5.17.3 If, at any time prior to the receipt of Parent Requisite Vote, the Parent Board receives a Parent Acquisition Proposal that the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal, the Parent Board may (i) effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) authorize Parent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a Parent Superior Proposal, provided that such Parent Superior Proposal is conditioned on this Agreement being terminated, which condition remains after Parent has used its reasonable best efforts to remove such condition, if (A) the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with Parent’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (B) Parent has notified the Company in writing that it intends to effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement; (C) if applicable, Parent has provided the Company a copy of the proposed definitive agreements between Parent and the person making such Parent Superior Proposal; (D) for a period of five (5) days following the notice delivered pursuant to clause (B) of this Section 5.17.4, Parent shall have discussed and negotiated in good faith and made Parent Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith (in each case to the extent the Company desires to negotiate) with Company representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Parent Board determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would no longer reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Parent’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to any material term or condition of any Parent Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and a new three (3) day negotiation period); and (E) no earlier than the end of such negotiation period, the Parent Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, and after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement (and all financial, legal, and regulatory terms and conditions of such Parent Acquisition Proposal and the expected timing of consummation and the relative risk of consummation of the applicable proposal), that (x) the Parent Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of the notice described in clause (B) above still constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal and (y) the failure to take such action would still reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Parent’s directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

7.2.1 Parent shall pay the Company by way of compensation the Termination Fee, the Company Operating Expenses, and the Transaction Expenses immediately after termination if Parent shall have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1.8. All amounts due hereunder shall be payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such account or accounts as the Company may designate in writing to Parent.

7.2.2 The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 7.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, that without these agreements the Parties would not enter into this Agreement and the Termination Fee does not constitute a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that, together with the reimbursement of the Company Operating Expenses and the Transaction Expenses, will compensate the Company in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1.8 for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

2.2 Authority. NLS has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of NLS and no other corporate proceedings on the part of NLS are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by NLS and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Rights Agent, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of NLS, enforceable against NLS in accordance with its terms. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the performance by NLS or any of its Subsidiaries of its or their obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) conflict with, or result in any violation of any provision of the articles of association, bylaws and other similar organizational documents of NLS, or (ii) conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation under, any loan or credit agreement, note, mortgage, indenture, lease, or other agreement, obligation, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to NLS or its properties or assets which violation, in the case of clause (ii), individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to be material to NLS. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration, notice or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required by or with respect to NLS in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by NLS or the consummation by NLS of the transactions contemplated hereby.

2.3 Nontransferable. The CVRs shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer. Any purported transfer of a CVR other than in a Permitted Transfer shall be null and void ab initio.

2.4 No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.

(a) The Holders’ rights and obligations in respect of CVRs derive solely from this Agreement and will not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.

(b) The Rights Agent will keep an up-to-date register (the “CVR Register”) for the registration of the CVRs for the purposes of (i) identifying the holders of CVRs and (ii) registering CVRs and Permitted Transfers thereof. The CVRs shall initially, in the case of the Holders, be registered in the names and addresses of the respective holders as set forth in the form NLS furnishes or causes to be furnished to the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 4.1.

(c) Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.3, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer and any other requested documentation in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent, duly executed by the registered CVR Holder or CVR Holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, including the evidence of authority of the party presenting the CVR for transfer, which authority may include, if applicable, a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association. A request for a transfer of a CVR must be accompanied by such documentation establishing that the transfer is a Permitted Transfer as may be reasonably requested by the Rights Agent, if appropriate. Upon receipt of such written request and materials, the Rights Agent will, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions herein, register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register will be the valid obligations of NLS, evidencing the same right and will entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those previously held by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR will be valid until registered in the CVR Register, and any transfer not duly registered in the CVR Register will be void and invalid. All costs and expenses related to any transfer or assignment of the CVRs (including the cost of any transfer tax) will be the responsibility of the transferor; provided, however, that the Rights Agent shall not impose a service charge for any registration of a Permitted Transfer.

(d) A CVR Holder (or an authorized representative thereof) may make a request to the Rights Agent to change such CVR Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register. Upon receipt of such request, the Rights Agent shall promptly record the change of address in the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the CVR Holder and conform to such other reasonable requirements as the Rights Agent may from time to time establish.

2.5 Payment Procedure.

(a) Upon the occurrence of CVR Transaction, and in any event within 30 days after the occurrence of CVR Transaction, NLS will deliver to the Rights Agent a certificate (each, a “CVR Payment Reporting Certificate”) certifying that the CVR Holders are entitled to receive a corresponding CVR Payment and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the calculation of the applicable CVR Payment Amount, together with reasonable supporting documentation for such calculation. The Rights Agent shall, within 30 days after its receipt of the CVR Payment Reporting Certificate, deliver to the CVR Holders, using the notice information as set forth in the CVR Register, a copy of the CVR Payment Reporting Certificate.

(b) If upon the determination of the Legacy Sub-Committee to abandon the planned sale of the Legacy Assets in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, NLS will deliver to the Rights Agent a certificate (the “CVR Program Transaction Non-Achievement Certificate”) stating that no CVR Payment Amount is due and that the CVR Program has been terminated. The Rights Agent shall deliver the CVR Program Transaction Non-Achievement Certificate to each CVR Holder at its registered address within three (3) Business Days of the Rights Agent’s receipt of the CVR Program Transaction Non-Achievement Certificate.

(c) The Acting Holders may object to any determination or calculation set forth in a CVR Payment Reporting Certificate by delivery of a written notice thereof to NLS setting forth in reasonable detail such objection, together with reasonable supporting documentation (an “Objection Notice”), within 60 days following the Rights Agent’s receipt of the applicable CVR Payment Reporting Certificate (such 60-day period, the “Objection Period”). If the Acting Holders do not submit an Objection Notice during the Objection Period, NLS’s determination of the CVR Payment Amount in respect of the applicable CVR Payment Reporting Certificate shall be final and binding on all parties. If the Acting Holders timely deliver to NLS an Objection Notice, NLS and the Acting Holders shall attempt in good faith to resolve such matters within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Objection Notice, and if unable to do so, NLS and the Acting Holders (on behalf of the CVR Holders) shall jointly engage the Financial Expert, whose appointment shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the parties and the CVR Holders. The Financial Expert will, under the terms of its engagement, be appointed to serve as an expert and not an arbitrator, be required to render its written decision with respect to such disputed items and amounts within thirty (30) Business Days from the date of such appointment. The Financial Expert shall deliver to the parties a written report setting forth its adjustments, if any, to the applicable CVR Payment Amount based on the Financial Expert’s determination, solely with respect to the disputed items and amounts in accordance with this Agreement, and such report shall include the calculations supporting such adjustments; provided, that for each item set forth in the Objection Notice, the Financial Expert shall assign a value for each such item no greater than the higher amount, and no less than the lower amount, calculated or set forth in the applicable CVR Payment Reporting Certificate or the Objection Notice with respect to such item, as the case may be. The Financial Expert shall have no power to amend or supplement the terms of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or act ex aequo et bono. The Financial Expert’s report shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the parties and the CVR Holders, shall not be subject to further review by any court, and no party or CVR Holder nor any of their respective affiliates or representatives may seek recourse to any courts, other tribunals or otherwise, other than to enforce the determination of the Financial Expert. The fees and expenses of the Financial Expert shall be allocated between NLS and the CVR Holders (by deduction from the current or of future CVR Payment Amounts) in the same proportion that the disputed amount to the applicable CVR Payment Amount that was unsuccessfully disputed by (as finally determined by the Financial Expert) bears to the total disputed amount of the applicable CVR Payment Amount. The date on which a CVR Payment Amount becomes final and binding on the parties is referred to herein as a “Payment Determination Date.”

(d) NLS shall, within 30 days following (i) the date of a CVR Payment Reporting Certificate, or (ii) if an Objection Notice is issued pursuant to Section 2.4(c), following the corresponding Payment Determination Date (as applicable, a “CVR Payment Date”), pay the aggregate applicable CVR Payment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as may be designated by the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent will then distribute to each CVR Holder its pro rata share of such CVR Payment Amount based on the number of CVRs held by such CVR Holder as reflected on the CVR Register on the date of the CVR Payment Reporting Certificate or the date of final determination pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable, (A) by check mailed to the address of each such CVR Holder as reflected in the CVR Register as of the close of business on the last Business Day before such CVR Payment Date, or, (B) with respect to any CVR Holder who has provided the Rights Agent with wire transfer instructions meeting the Rights Agent’s requirements, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account.

(e) If NLS issues a CVR Program Transaction Non-Achievement Certificate pursuant to Section 2.4(c) and no Objection Notice has been timely delivered to NLS in response to such CVR Program Transaction Non-Achievement Certificate within the Objection Period, then the CVR Holders will have no right to receive a CVR Payment, and NLS and the Rights Agent will have no further obligations with respect to any CVR Payment.

(f) NLS will promptly furnish to the Rights Agent all information and documentation in connection with this Agreement and in the possession of NLS and relating to the CVRs, any CVR Transaction or any CVR Payment(s) that the Rights Agent may reasonably request on behalf of the Holders in order to perform under this Agreement.

(g) NLS acknowledges that the bank accounts maintained by the Rights Agent in connection with the services provided under this Agreement will be in the Rights Agent’s name and that the Rights Agent may receive investment earnings in connection with the investment at the Rights Agent’s risk and for its benefit.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any portion of the CVR Payment paid by NLS to the Rights Agent that remains unclaimed as of the first anniversary of the expiration of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1 shall, to the extent permitted by law, be delivered to NLS or its designee. The Holders shall thereafter look only to NLS for delivery of any owed CVR Payments.

(i) Neither NLS, the Rights Agent nor any of their affiliates shall be liable to any CVR Holder for any payments delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat law or other similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such CVR Holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall be delivered to NLS or its designee. The Holders shall thereafter look only to NLS for delivery of any owed CVR Payments.

(j) If any holder of a Warrant would, with the CVR Payment exceed the beneficial ownership limitation set forth in such Warrant, NLS shall hold such CVR Payment in abeyance until such CVR Payment would not result in the holder of such Warrant exceeding the beneficial ownership limitation contained therein.

2.6 Audit and Information Rights.

(a) Prior to the expiration of this Agreement, and in addition to and without limiting any rights of the Holders pursuant to Section 2.4, NLS shall prepare and deliver to the Rights Agent, simultaneously with its delivery of each CVR Payment Reporting Certificate, a written report, in such form as NLS shall reasonably determine, summarizing the performance of, and significant activity related to, the applicable CVR Transaction (including status updates on negotiations related to potential CVR Transactions not yet executed) and any Aggregate Cumulative Net Proceeds paid or payable (including expectations around upcoming payments and the timing thereof).

(b) In connection with any Objection Notice, NLS shall provide the Financial Expert with reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance request to the books and records of NLS to the extent necessary to verify NLS’s calculation of a CVR Payment Amount. Further, subject to not less than five (5) Business Days advance written notice from the Acting Holders, NLS shall permit the Financial Expert, acting as agent of the Acting Holders, to have access during normal business hours to the books and records of NLS as may be reasonably necessary to audit the calculation of any CVR Payment Amount or the calculation of the amount of Aggregate Cumulative Net Proceeds.

2.7 No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest in NLS.

(a) The CVRs shall not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest shall not accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to any CVR Holder, except as specifically provided herein.

(b) The CVRs shall not represent any equity or ownership interest in NLS or in any constituent company to the Merger. The rights of the CVR Holders and the obligations of NLS are contract rights limited to those expressly set forth in the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, and such CVR Holders’ sole right to receive property thereunder and hereunder is the right to receive cash received from the CVR Transaction(s) from NLS, if any, through the Rights Agent in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and hereof. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that a CVR shall not constitute a security of NLS.

2.8 Ability to Abandon the CVR. A CVR Holder may at any time at its option abandon all of its remaining rights in a CVR by transferring the CVR to NLS or any of its successors or assigns without consideration therefor, and NLS shall promptly notify the Rights Agent in writing of such transfer. Nothing in this Section 2.7 is intended to prohibit NLS or any of its Affiliates from offering to acquire CVRs for consideration in its sole discretion. Any CVRs acquired by NLS or any of its Affiliates shall be automatically deemed extinguished and no longer outstanding.

2.9 Withholding. Each of NLS, the Rights Agent, and any other Person who has any obligation to deduct or withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it determines are required by applicable Law to be deducted and withheld. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the appropriate governmental entity in accordance with applicable law, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(a) If the Rights Agent shall resign or become incapable of acting, NLS shall promptly appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent. The successor Rights Agent so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4, become the successor Rights Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if NLS fails to make such appointment within a period of 60 days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then any CVR Holder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent.

Each notice shall include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If NLS fails to send such notice within ten (10) days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent, the successor Rights Agent shall cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of NLS. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 3.4, however, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

7.13 Confidentiality.

(a) “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all technical or business information relating to a party, including, without limitation, financial, marketing and product development information, stockholder information (including any non-public information of such stockholder), and proprietary information that is disclosed or otherwise becomes known to the other party or its Affiliates, agents or representatives before or during the term of this Agreement. Confidential Information shall not include any information that is: (a) already known to the other party or its Affiliates at the time of the disclosure, provided that such prior knowledge can be substantiated by the written records of such party; (b) publicly known at the time of the disclosure or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or failure of the other party; (c) subsequently disclosed to the other party or its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis by a third party not having a confidential relationship with the owner and which rightfully acquired such information; or (d) independently developed by one party without access to the Confidential Information of the other, provided that such independent development can be substantiated by the written records of such party. This Agreement, including all of its terms and conditions, will not be deemed to be Confidential Information and may be publicly disclosed by NLS.

(b) All Confidential Information of a party will be held in confidence by the other party with at least the same degree of care as such party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of like kind and import, but not less than a reasonable degree of care. Neither party will disclose in any manner Confidential Information of the other party in any form to any person or entity without the other party’s prior consent. However, each party may disclose relevant aspects of the other party’s Confidential Information to its officers, Affiliates, agents, subcontractors and employees to the extent reasonably necessary to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each party will implement such physical and other security measures and controls as are necessary to protect (a) the security and confidentiality of Confidential Information; (b) against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of Confidential Information; and (c) against any unauthorized access to or use of Confidential Information. To the extent that a party delegates any duties and responsibilities under this Agreement to an agent or other subcontractor, the party ensures that such agent and subcontractor are contractually bound to confidentiality terms consistent with the terms of this Section 6.14.

(c) In the event that any requests or demands are made for the disclosure of Confidential Information, other than requests to Rights Agent for stockholder records pursuant to standard subpoenas from state or federal government authorities (e.g., divorce and criminal actions), the party receiving such request will promptly notify the other party to secure instructions from an authorized officer of such party as to such request and to enable the other party the opportunity to obtain a protective order or other confidential treatment, unless such notification is otherwise prohibited by law or court order. Each party expressly reserves the right, however, to disclose Confidential Information to any person whenever it is advised by counsel that it may be held liable for the failure to disclose such Confidential Information or if required by law or court order.

(d) As may be required by law and without limiting any party’s rights in respect of a breach of this Section 7.14, each party will promptly:

(i) notify the other party in writing of any unauthorized possession, use or disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information by any person or entity that may become known to such party;

(ii) furnish to the other party full details of the unauthorized possession, use or disclosure; and

(iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent a recurrence of any such unauthorized possession, use or disclosure of Confidential Information.

7.14 Further Assurances. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto will, from time to time, do all acts and things and execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments, as the other parties hereto may reasonably require to effectively carry out or perform the provisions of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this Agreement to be executed on its behalf by its duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

(d) There is no action, suit, investigation, complaint or other proceeding pending against any such Shareholder or, to the knowledge of such Shareholder, any other Person or, to the knowledge of such Shareholder, threatened against any Shareholder or any other Person that could reasonably be expected to materially impair or materially adversely affect the ability of such Shareholder to perform such Shareholder’s obligations hereunder or to restrict or prohibit (or that, if successful, would restrict or prohibit) the exercise by the Company of its rights under this Agreement or the performance by any party of its obligations under this Agreement.

(a) Such Shareholder hereby appoints the Company and any designee of the Company, and each of them individually, until the Termination Date (at which time this proxy shall automatically be revoked), as its proxies and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote or act by written consent during the term of this Agreement with respect to such Shareholder’s Covered Shares in accordance with Section 1(b). This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Shareholder under this Agreement. Such Shareholder shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy. This proxy and power of attorney granted by such Shareholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy, and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by such Shareholder with respect to his, her or its Covered Shares. The power of attorney granted by Shareholder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the bankruptcy, death, or incapacity of such Shareholder. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Prior to the Termination Date, and except as contemplated hereby, such Shareholder shall not grant any proxies or powers of attorney, deposit any Covered Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any Covered Shares or knowingly take any action that would have the effect of preventing or disabling such Shareholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Prior to the Termination Date, in the event that such Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of, or the power to vote or direct the voting of, any additional shares of Common Stock or other voting interests with respect to the Company, such shares of Common Stock or voting interests shall, without further action of the parties, be deemed Covered Shares and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Shareholder set forth on Schedule A hereto will be deemed amended accordingly and such shares of Common Stock or voting interests shall automatically become subject to the terms of this Agreement. Each Shareholder shall promptly notify the Company of any such event.

6. Shareholder Capacity. This Agreement is being entered into by each Shareholder solely in its capacity as a shareholder of the Company and not in such Shareholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company, and nothing in this Agreement shall restrict or limit the ability of any Shareholder, any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers or employees who is a director or officer of the Company to take any action or inaction or voting on any matter in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, including taking any action specifically permitted by the Merger Agreement.

7. Disclosure. Each Shareholder hereby authorizes the Company to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the SEC such Shareholder’s identity and ownership of the Covered Shares and the nature of such Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement.

8. Further Assurances. Each Shareholder agrees, from time to time, and without additional consideration, to execute and deliver such additional proxies, documents, and other instruments and to take all such further action as the Company may reasonably request to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9. Stop Transfer Restrictions. At all times commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the Termination Date, in furtherance of this Agreement, each Shareholder hereby authorizes the Company or its counsel to notify the Company’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of such Shareholder’s Covered Shares (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of such Covered Shares), subject to the provisions hereof and provided that any such stop transfer order and notice will immediately be withdrawn and terminated by the Company on the Termination Date.

10. Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto, signed on behalf of each party to whom such amendment, modification or supplement applies and otherwise as expressly set forth herein.

11. Waiver. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder.
