Such Aggregate Contribution Consideration shall be payable to the Contributors
as follows:
(a) Each
share of Company Series A Preferred Stock held by a Contributor as of
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall entitle such Contributor to
receive, in accordance with Section 1.4, 13.7925 shares of Pubco
Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Per Share
Contribution Consideration”).
(b) Each
share of Company Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by a Contributor as of

share of Company Common Stock held by a Contributor as of immediately prior to
the Effective Time shall entitle such Contributor to receive, in accordance
with Section 1.4, 12.50 shares of Pubco Common Stock (the “Common

1.4 Delivery of
Contribution Consideration.
(a) At
the Closing: (i) the Contributors will provide to Pubco (1) completed
and executed letters of transmittal in customary form for use in effecting the
surrender of all Contributed Interests in exchange for the Applicable Per Share
Contribution Consideration, and (2) all certificates representing the

(b) Pubco
shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Applicable Per Share

withhold therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state, local or
foreign tax law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such
amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been
paid to the Contributor to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

taken or failed to take, and after the Effective Time, Pubco and the Contributors
shall not take or fail to take, any action which reasonably could be expected
to cause the Transfers to fail to qualify as a tax-free transfer of property to
Pubco within the meaning of Section 351 of the Code.
1.6
Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing Date, any further action
is determined by Pubco to be necessary or desirable to carry out the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or to vest Pubco with
full right, title and possession of and to all Contributed Interests, the
officers and directors of Pubco shall be fully authorized (in the name of the
Company, the Contributors or otherwise) to take such action.
