 of up to 20% of the outstanding shares of Pubco Common stock are being requested to be reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan. Approval of the Incentive Plan will allow Pubco to provide equity and other awards as part of Pubco’s compensation program, an important tool for motivating, attracting and retaining talented employees and for creating stockholder value. Non-approval of the Incentive Plan will result in the Incentive Plan not becoming effective, resulting in no awards being granted thereunder, and will compel Pubco to consider significantly increasing the cash component of employee compensation following the Closing to attract and retain key employees because Pubco may need to replace components of compensation Pubco previously delivered or agreed to deliver in equity awards in order to provide market competitive pay, which would (if implemented) reduce Pubco’s operating cash flow.

We believe that long-term incentive compensation programs align the interests of management, employees and stockholders to create long-term stockholder value. Equity plans such as the Incentive Plan increase Pubco’s ability to achieve this objective, and, by allowing for several different forms of long-term incentive awards, helps Pubco to recruit, reward, motivate, and retain talented personnel. We believe that the approval of the Incentive Plan is an essential component to Pubco’s continued success following the Business Combination, and in particular, to Pubco’s ability to attract and retain outstanding and highly skilled individuals in the competitive labor markets in which Pubco will compete. Such awards are also crucial to Pubco’s ability to motivate employees to achieve its goals.

#### Key Plan Provisions
•

Awards may be granted under the Incentive Plan for up to ten (10) years following the business combination, unless earlier terminated by the Pubco Board or compensation committee, but no incentive stock options may be granted after ten (10) years from the earlier of the Pubco Board’s of stockholders’ approval of the Incentive Plan.

•

The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options (both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options) stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based awards, and other stock- and cash-based awards.

•

shares of Pubco Common stock will be authorized for issuance pursuant to awards under the Incentive Plan.

•

The Incentive Plan will be administered by the Pubco Board or, if delegated by the Pubco Board, the compensation committee of the Pubco Board or such committee as permitted by the Incentive Plan.
