All Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares of Company Capital Stock under the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to be converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the per share amount of the merger consideration attributable to such Dissenting Shares upon their surrender in the manner provided in Section 2.1(e).

(b) The Company shall give KBL prompt written notice of any demands by dissenting stockholders received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served on the Company and any material correspondence received by the Company in connection with such demands and KBL shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.

Neither the execution and delivery or effectiveness of this Agreement nor the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will (i) cause the forfeiture or termination of, or give rise to a right of forfeiture or termination of any Company Intellectual Property, or impair the right of KBL, the Company or any Subsidiary, or the Surviving Corporation to use, possess, sell or license any Company Intellectual Property or portion thereof; (ii) cause the Company or any Subsidiary to breach any Company Licenses-In or Company Licenses-Out; (iii) result in the modification, cancellation, termination, suspension of, or acceleration of any rights, obligations or payments with respect to the Company Licenses-In or Company Licenses-Out; or (iv) give any non-Company party to any Company Licenses-In or Company Licenses-Out the right to do any of the foregoing. After the Closing, all Company Intellectual Property will be fully transferable, alienable or licensable by KBL without restriction and without payment of any kind to any third party.

(m) To the knowledge of the Company, no current or former employee, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any Subsidiary (i) is in violation of any term or covenant of any Contract relating to employment, invention disclosure (including patent disclosure), invention assignment, non-disclosure or any other Contract with any other party by virtue of such employee’s, consultant’s or independent contractor’s being employed by, or performing services for, the Company or any Subsidiary or using trade secrets or proprietary information of others without permission; or (ii) has developed any technology, software or other copyrightable, patentable or otherwise proprietary work for the Company or any Subsidiary that is subject to any agreement under which such employee, consultant or independent contractor has assigned or otherwise granted to any third party any rights (including Intellectual Property rights) in or to such technology, software or other copyrightable, patentable or otherwise proprietary work.

To the knowledge of the Company, no current or former employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, who was involved in, or who contributed to, the creation or development of any Company Intellectual Property, has performed services for any government, university, college or other educational institution or research center during a period of time during which such employee was also performing services for the Company or any Subsidiary.

No Person is currently renegotiating, or to the knowledge of the Company, intends to renegotiate, any material amount paid or payable to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries under any Company Material Contract or any other material term or provision of any Company Material Contract.

There is no contract, agreement, plan or arrangement covering any individual that, by itself or collectively, would give rise to any parachute payment subject to Section 280G of the Code, nor has Company made any such payment, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein shall not obligate Company or any other entity to make any parachute payment that would be subject to Section 280G of the Code.

(ii) An entity is an “ERISA Affiliate” of Company if it would have ever been considered a single employer with Company under ERISA Section 4001(b) or part of the same “controlled group” as Company for purposes of ERISA Section 302(d)(8)(C).

For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, KBL shall cause the Governing Documents of KBL and the Company to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation and indemnification of and advancement of expenses to D&O Indemnified Persons than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Governing Documents of the Company, KBL and Merger Sub to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(b) Neither KBL, Merger Sub nor the Company shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any Order in any actual or threatened Proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been or could be sought by a D&O Indemnified Person under this Section 5.6(b) unless such settlement, compromise or Order includes an unconditional release of such D&O Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Proceeding. Neither KBL, Merger Sub nor the Company shall have any obligation under this Section 5.6 to any Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) For the benefit of the Company’s, KBL’s and Merger Sub’s directors and officers, the Company shall prior to the Effective Time obtain and fully pay the premium for a “tail” insurance policy that provides coverage for up to a six-year period from and after the Effective Time for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Tail Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than KBL’s existing policy or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage.

KBL shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.6.

(e) The D&O Indemnified Persons entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 5.6 are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.6.

Section 8.3 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.2 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Indemnifying Parties shall be liable pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall not exceed the aggregate value of the Indemnity Escrow Shares (the “Cap”).

(c) With respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant Section 8.2, for so long as there is at least one (1) Continuing KBL Director on the KBL Board, the Continuing KBL Directors shall have sole authority on behalf of a KBL Indemnitee to (a) pursue or not pursue any indemnification claim against the Indemnifying Parties, (b) consent to, compromise or settle any indemnification claim, (c) conduct negotiations with the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives regarding such indemnification claim, and, in connection therewith, to: (A) assert or institute any indemnification claim; (B) investigate, defend, contest or litigate any indemnification claim and compromise or settle on such terms as the Continuing KBL Directors in their sole discretion shall determine to be appropriate.

Subject to Section 8.3 and pursuant to the terms set forth in the Indemnity Escrow Agreement, the Indemnity Escrow Agent shall hold the Indemnity Escrow Account until 11:59 p.m. local time on the date that is twelve months after the Closing Date (the “Indemnity Escrow Release Date”). Neither the Indemnity Escrow Shares (including any portion thereof) nor any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, subjected to any lien, sold, assigned or transferred by KBL or the Surviving Corporation or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other Liability of KBL or the Surviving Corporation, in each case prior to the distribution of the Indemnity Escrow Shares to the Indemnifying Parties in accordance with Section 8.4(b) or to KBL in accordance with this Article 8 and the terms set forth in the Indemnity Escrow Agreement. For purposes of this Article 8, the Indemnity Escrow Shares shall be valued at the Per Share Redemption Price and shall be the sole recourse and source of recovery for any indemnity claims hereunder.

(b) Promptly following the Indemnity Escrow Release Date (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), the Stockholder Representative and KBL shall deliver to the Indemnity Escrow Agent joint written instructions directing the Indemnity Escrow Agent to distribute any remaining Transaction Shares in the Indemnity Escrow Account less a number of Indemnity Escrow Shares in the Indemnity Escrow Account equal to the aggregate value of all unsatisfied or disputed indemnifiable Losses set forth in any Claim Notice delivered to the Stockholder Representative on or prior to the Indemnity Escrow Release Date in accordance with this Article 8. Any portion of the Indemnity Escrow Shares held by the Indemnity Escrow Agent following the Indemnity Escrow Release Date with respect to pending but unresolved claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article 8 that is not awarded to KBL upon the resolution of such claims shall be promptly distributed by the Indemnity Escrow Agent to the Indemnifying Parties. KBL and the Stockholder Representative shall, promptly after final resolution of such pending claims (but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter), execute a joint instruction to release such amounts from the Indemnity Escrow Account in accordance with such final resolution thereof. For purposes of this Section 8.4(b), for so long as at least one (1) Continuing KBL Director is serving as a director on the KBL Board, any instructions delivered to the Indemnity Escrow Agent must be signed by at least one Continuing KBL Director for such instructions to be considered valid.

Section 8.5 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any KBL Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such KBL Indemnitee with respect to which the Indemnifying Parties are obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the KBL Indemnitee shall give the Stockholder Representative reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”). The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Parties of their indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties forfeit rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the KBL Indemnitee shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the KBL Indemnitee. The Stockholder Representative shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the KBL Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Stockholder Representative’s expense, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the KBL Indemnitee and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall not be entitled to assume the defense (and the KBL Indemnitee shall be entitled to have sole control over the defense) of a Third Party Claim if: (A) such Third Party Claim involves criminal allegations; (B) such Third Party Claim demands injunctive or other equitable relief; (C) such Third Party Claim (together with all other claims against the Indemnifying Parties and their respective Affiliates that are the subject of unresolved Claim Notices) seeks damages in excess of the then applicable remaining portion of the Cap; or (D) such Third Party Claim is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Company or the Surviving Corporation. In the event that the Stockholder Representative assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the KBL Indemnitee. The KBL Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Stockholder Representative’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the KBL Indemnitee, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the KBL Indemnitee, (A) there are legal defenses available to a KBL Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Parties; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Parties and the KBL Indemnitee that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Parties shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the KBL Indemnitee in each jurisdiction for which the KBL Indemnitee determines counsel is required up to the Cap. If the Stockholder Representative elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the KBL Indemnitee in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the KBL Indemnitee may, subject to Section 8.5(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Stockholder Representative and KBL shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the KBL Indemnitee, except as provided in this Section 8.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the KBL Indemnitee and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each KBL Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Stockholder Representative desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Stockholder Representative shall give written notice to that effect to the KBL Indemnitee. If the KBL Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) calendar days after its receipt of such notice, the KBL Indemnitee may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Parties as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the KBL Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Stockholder Representative may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the KBL Indemnitee has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Stockholder Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Proceeding by a KBL Indemnitee on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the KBL Indemnitee giving the Stockholder Representative reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the KBL Indemnitee becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Parties of their indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties forfeit rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the KBL Indemnitee shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the KBL Indemnitee. The Stockholder Representative shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The KBL Indemnitee shall reasonably allow the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the KBL Indemnitee shall reasonably assist the Stockholder Representative’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including reasonable access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Stockholder Representative or any of its Representatives may reasonably request. If the Stockholder Representative does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have accepted such claim and shall be liable for all Losses associated with such Direct Claim.

Section 8.6 Other Rights and Remedies Not Affected. The indemnification rights of the parties under this Article 8 are independent of, and in addition to, such rights and remedies as the parties may have at Law or in equity or otherwise for any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to fulfill any covenant, agreement or obligation hereunder on the part of any party hereto, including the right to seek specific performance, rescission or restitution, none of which rights or remedies shall be affected or diminished hereby.

Section 9.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 9.5 Construction; Interpretation. The term “this Agreement” means this Business Combination Agreement together with the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No Party, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Party. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (i) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedules and Exhibits, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (iii) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (iv) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (v) financial terms shall have the meanings given to such terms under GAAP unless otherwise specified herein; (vi) references to “$” or “dollar” or “US$” shall be references to United States dollars; (vii) the word “or” is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive; (viii) the words “writing”, “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form; (ix) the word “day” means calendar day unless Business Day is expressly specified; (x) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”; (xi) all references to Articles, Sections, Exhibits or Schedules are to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement; and (xii) all references to any Law will be to such Law as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. If any action under this Agreement is required to be done or taken on a day that is not a Business Day, then such action shall be required to be done or taken not on such day but on the first succeeding Business Day thereafter.

Section 9.6 Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules, or documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. The Schedules shall be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement. The information and disclosures contained in the Schedules may not be limited to matters required to be disclosed in the Schedules, and any such additional information or disclosure is for informational purposes only and does not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 9.7 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Section 5.6 and Section 9.11, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.8 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Contemplated Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Contemplated Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.9 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, e-mail, or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 9.10 Knowledge of Company; knowledge of KBL. For all purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “to the Company’s knowledge” and “known by the Company” and any derivations thereof shall mean as of the applicable date, the knowledge of the individuals set forth on Section 9.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, after taking into account the reasonable inquiry of any employee who primarily and directly reports to such individual (and shall in no event encompass constructive, imputed or similar concept of knowledge beyond the standard described earlier in this sentence). For all purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “to KBL’s knowledge” and “to the knowledge of KBL” and any derivations thereof shall mean as of the applicable date, the knowledge of the individuals set forth on Section 9.10(b) of the KBL Disclosure Schedules, after taking into account the reasonable inquiry of any employee who primarily and directly reports to such individual (and shall in no event encompass constructive, imputed or similar concept of knowledge beyond the standard described earlier in this sentence). None of the individuals set forth on Section 9.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules or Section 9.10(b) of the KBL Disclosure Schedules shall have any personal liability or obligations regarding such knowledge.

Section 9.11 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, each of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, the Stockholder Representative and KBL acknowledges and agrees that no recourse under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Documents shall be had against any Person that is not a party to this Agreement or such Ancillary Document, including any past, present or future director, officer, agent, employee or other Representative of any past, present or future equity holder of KBL, any Company Stockholder, any Subsidiary of the Company or of any Affiliate or successor or assignee thereof (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Parties”), as such, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Non-Recourse Party, as such, for any obligation or liability of KBL, a Company Stockholder or any Subsidiary of the Company under this Agreement or Person party to any Ancillary Document under any Ancillary Document for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation.

Section 9.12 Extension; Waiver. The Stockholder Representative (on behalf of itself, the Company Stockholders and the Company Subsidiaries) may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of KBL or Merger Sub contained herein, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of KBL or Merger Sub contained herein or in any Ancillary Document, or (c) waive compliance by KBL or Merger Sub with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. KBL may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries contained herein, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries contained herein or in any Ancillary Document, or (iii) waive compliance by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of any Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 9.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 9.14 Jurisdiction and Venue. Each Party (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with this Section 9.14 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, that such process may be served in the manner of giving notices in Section 9.3 and that nothing in this Section 9.14 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law, (b) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any action or proceeding to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom located within the State of Delaware in the event any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or the Contemplated Transactions, or for recognition and enforcement of any Order in respect thereof, (c) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (d) agrees that any actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or the Contemplated Transactions and shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom located within the State of New York, (e) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same and (f) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or the Contemplated Transactions in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each Party agrees that a final Order in any action or proceeding in such courts as provided above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the Order or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

Section 9.15 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Section 9.16 Rescission. No breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or in any Ancillary Document shall give rise to any right on the part of KBL or the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders and the Company Subsidiaries), after Closing, to rescind this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 9.17 Stockholder Representative.

(a) Lawrence Pemble is hereby appointed, authorized and empowered to act as a representative for the benefit of Company Stockholders and the Company Subsidiaries, as the exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of each Company Stockholder and Company Subsidiary, in connection with and to facilitate the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, including pursuant to any Ancillary Documents, which shall include the power and authority:

(i) to execute and deliver any Ancillary Documents (with such modifications or changes therein as to which the Stockholder Representative, in its sole and absolute, discretion, shall have consented) and to agree to such amendments or modifications thereto as the Stockholder Representative, in its sole discretion, determines to be desirable;

(ii) to execute and deliver such waivers and consents in connection with this Agreement and any Ancillary Documents and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions as the Stockholder Representative, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or desirable;

(iii) as the Stockholder Representative, to enforce and protect the rights and interests of any Company Stockholder (including the Stockholder Representative, in his capacity as a Company Stockholder) or Company Subsidiary and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Stockholder Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or the transactions provided for herein or therein, and to take any and all actions which the Stockholder Representative believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement and/or any Ancillary Document for and on behalf of Company Stockholders and the Company Subsidiaries, including asserting or pursuing any Proceeding or investigation against KBL or any of its Affiliates, defending any Proceedings or investigations by the KBL Indemnitees, consenting to, compromising or settling any such Proceedings or investigations, conducting negotiations with KBL and its representatives regarding such Proceeding or investigations, and, in connection therewith, to: (A) assert or institute any Proceeding or investigation; (B) investigate, defend, contest or litigate any Proceeding or investigation initiated by KBL or any other Person, or by any Governmental Entity against the Stockholder Representative and/or any Company Stockholder or Company Subsidiary and receive process on behalf of any or all Company Stockholders and Company Subsidiaries in any such Proceeding or investigation and compromise or settle on such terms as the Stockholder Representative shall determine to be appropriate, and give receipts, releases and discharges with respect to, any such Proceeding or investigation; (C) file any proofs of debt, claims and petitions as the Stockholder Representative may deem advisable or necessary; and (D) file and prosecute appeals from any decision, judgment or award rendered in any such Proceeding or investigation, it being understood that the Stockholder Representative shall not have any obligation to take any such actions, and shall not have any liability for any failure to take any such actions;

(iv) to refrain from enforcing any right of any Company Stockholder or Company Subsidiary and/or the Stockholder Representative arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document; provided, however, that no such failure to act on the part of the Stockholder Representative, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Document, shall be deemed a waiver of any such right or interest by the Stockholder Representative or by such Company Stockholder or Company Subsidiary unless such waiver is in writing signed by the waiving party or by the Stockholder Representative; and

(v) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Stockholder Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all Ancillary Documents.

(b) KBL shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement and/or any Ancillary Document, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Company Stockholders and the Company Subsidiaries, and no Company Stockholder or Company Subsidiary shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(c) The grant of authority provided for herein (i) is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Company Stockholder or Company Subsidiary, and (ii) shall survive the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative may resign as the Stockholder Representative at any time by providing written notice to KBL, which resignation shall become effective upon appointment of a successor Stockholder Representative by Lawrence Pemble. All power, authority, rights, privileges and obligations conferred in this Agreement to a Stockholder Representative shall apply to any successor Stockholder Representative.

Section 9.18   Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of KBL, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-217475) on June 2, 2017 and dated as of June 1, 2017 (the “Prospectus”). The Company and each Company Subsidiary understands that KBL has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of KBL’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by KBL’s underwriters, the “Public Stockholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, KBL may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their KBL shares in connection with the consummation of KBL’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if KBL fails to consummate a Business Combination prior to September 9, 2019 (or such date as may be extended), (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, as necessary to pay for any franchise and income taxes, or (d) to KBL after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of KBL entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the Stockholder Representative hereby agree on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (including the Company Stockholders) that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, the Company Stockholders, nor any of their Affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between KBL or its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”). The Stockholder Representative on behalf of itself, the Company Stockholders, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Stockholder Representative, the Company Stockholders, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with KBL or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with KBL or its Affiliates). The Stockholder Representative on behalf of itself, the Company Stockholders, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by KBL and its Affiliates to induce KBL to enter in this Agreement, and such Company Stockholder and Company Subsidiary further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Company Stockholder and Company Subsidiary, as the case may be, and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent the Stockholder Representative, any Company Stockholder, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates commences any Proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to KBL or its Representatives, which Proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against KBL or its Representatives, the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders and the Company Subsidiaries) hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company Stockholders, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Stockholder Representative or any Company Stockholder or Company Subsidiary (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein.
