Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Merger Agreement
On
September 24, 2024, Breeze Holdings Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Breeze”), entered into a Merger Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among (i) Breeze, (ii) a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parent expected to be named “YD Bio Limited,” which is in the process of being formed, and once formed will
enter into a joinder to the Merger Agreement (“Pubco”), (iii) Breeze Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and which
will be a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Parent Merger Sub”), (iv) a Cayman Islands exempted company which will
be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, expected to be named “BH Biopharma Merger Sub Limited,” and once formed, will enter
into a joinder to the Merger Agreement (“Company Merger Sub,” with Company Merger Sub and Parent Merger Sub together referred
to herein as the “Merger Subs”), and (v) YD Biopharma Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“YD Biopharma”).
Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meaning attributed to them in the Merger Agreement.
The
Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of Breeze and YD Biopharma.
The Business Combination
Pursuant
to and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, (a) Parent Merger Sub will merge with and into Breeze, with
Breeze continuing as the surviving entity (the “Parent Merger”), as a result of which, (i) Breeze will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Pubco, and (ii) each issued and outstanding security of Breeze immediately prior to the effective time of the Parent
Merger (the “Parent Merger Effective Time”) (other than shares of Breeze common stock that have been redeemed or are owned
by Breeze or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries as treasury shares and any Dissenting Parent Shares (as defined in the Merger
Agreement)) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of
a substantially equivalent security of Pubco (other than the Parent Rights, which shall be automatically converted into ordinary shares
of Pubco), and, (b) immediately following the consummation of the Parent Merger but on the same day, Company Merger Sub will merge
with and into YD Biopharma, with YD Biopharma continuing as the surviving entity (the “Company Merger” and, together with
the Parent Merger, the “Mergers”), as a result of which, (i) YD Biopharma will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco,
and (ii) each issued and outstanding security of YD Biopharma immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger (the
“Company Merger Effective Time”) (other than any Cancelled Shares or Dissenting Shares) shall no longer be outstanding and
shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of a substantially equivalent security of Pubco. The
Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.”
The
Business Combination is expected to close in February 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, the receipt of certain governmental
approvals and the required approval by the stockholders of Breeze and YD Biopharma.
Business Combination
Consideration
Pursuant to and in accordance
with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Parent Merger Effective Time, (a) each share of Breeze common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share (“Breeze Common Stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Parent Merger Effective Time that has not been
redeemed, is not owned by Breeze or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries as treasury shares and is not a Dissenting Parent Share
will automatically convert into one ordinary share of Pubco (each, a “Pubco Ordinary Share”), (b) each Breeze Warrant shall
automatically convert into one warrant to purchase a Pubco Ordinary Share (each, a “Pubco Warrant”) on substantially the same
terms and conditions; and (c) each Breeze Right will be automatically converted into the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares that would have
been received by the holder of such Breeze Right if it had been converted upon the consummation of a business combination in accordance
with Breeze’s organizational documents.
The aggregate consideration
to be received by the equity holders of YD Biopharma is based on a pre-transaction equity value of $647,304,110. In accordance with
the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Company Merger Effective Time, each issued and outstanding
ordinary share of YD Biopharma shall be cancelled and converted into a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares based on that Exchange Ratio described
below. The Exchange Ratio will be equal to (i) $647,304,110, divided by (ii) the number of fully-diluted shares of YD Biopharma
Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing, further divided by (iii) an assumed value of Pubco Ordinary Shares of $10.00 per share.
Governance
The
parties have agreed to take actions such that, effective immediately after the Closing of the Business Combination, Pubco’s board
of directors shall consist of seven directors, consisting of two Breeze designees (at least one of whom shall be an “independent
director”), four YD Biopharma designees (at least three of whom shall be “independent directors”). Additionally, certain
current YD Biopharma management personnel will become officers of Pubco. To qualify as an “independent director” under the
Merger Agreement, a designee shall qualify as “independent” under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Representations
and Warranties; Covenants
The Merger Agreement contains
representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type, including,
among others, covenants providing for (i) certain limitations on the operation of the parties’ respective businesses prior to consummation
of the Business Combination, (ii) the parties’ efforts to satisfy conditions to consummation of the Business Combination, including
by obtaining any necessary approvals from governmental agencies (including U.S. federal antitrust authorities and under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”)), (iii) prohibitions on the parties soliciting alternative
transactions, (iv) Pubco preparing and filing a registration statement on Form F-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
and taking certain other actions to obtain the requisite approval of Breeze’s stockholders to vote in favor of certain matters,
including the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Business Combination, at a special meeting to be called for the approval
of such matters, and (v) the protection of, and access to, confidential information of the parties.
The representations, warranties
and covenants in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and are subject to limitations
agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made the parties to the Merger Agreement
which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to
stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Breeze does
not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.
In
addition, Pubco has agreed to adopt an equity incentive plan, as described in the Merger Agreement.
Conditions to the
Closing
The
obligations of Breeze, Pubco, Parent Merger Sub and Company Merger Sub (the “Breeze Parties”) and YD Biopharma to consummate
the Business Combination are subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the approval of Breeze’s
stockholders, (ii) the approval of YD Biopharma’s stockholders, and (iii) Pubco’s Form F-4 registration statement
becoming effective.
In addition, the obligations
of the Breeze Parties to consummate the Business Combination are also subject to the fulfillment (or waiver) of other closing conditions,
including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of YD Biopharma being true and correct to the standards applicable
to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of YD Biopharma having been performed or complied with in all material
respects, (ii) delivery of certain ancillary agreements required to be executed and delivered in connection with the Business Combination,
and (iii) no Material Adverse Effect having occurred.
The obligation of YD Biopharma
to consummate the Business Combination is also subject to the fulfillment (or waiver) of other closing conditions, including, but not
limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of the Breeze Parties being true and correct to the standards applicable to such
representations and warranties and each of the covenants of the Breeze Parties having been performed or complied with in all material
respects, and (ii) the shares of Pubco Common Stock issuable in connection with the Business Combination being listed on the Nasdaq
Stock Market.
Termination
The Merger Agreement may be
terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, including, but not limited
to, (i) by mutual written consent of Breeze and YD Biopharma, (ii) by Breeze, on the one hand, or YD Biopharma, on the other
hand, if there is any breach of the representations, warranties, covenant or agreement of the other party as set forth in the Merger Agreement,
in each case, such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties
or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods,
(iii) by either Breeze or YD Biopharma if the Business Combination is not consummated by April 30, 2025 (which date may be extended
by mutual agreement of the parties to the Merger Agreement), (iv) by either Breeze or YD Biopharma if a meeting of Breeze’s
stockholders is held to vote on proposals relating to the Business Combination and the stockholders do not approve the proposals, and
(v) by Breeze if the YD Biopharma stockholders do not approve the Merger Agreement.
Under
certain circumstances as described further in the Merger Agreement, if the Merger Agreement is validly terminated by Breeze, YD Biopharma
will pay Breeze a fee equal to the trust extension payments made by on behalf of Breeze to the trust in connection with the Business Combination
of up to $150,000.
PIPE Investment

Merger Agreement contemplates that Breeze, Pubco and YD Biopharma shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to enter into and consummate

of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Transactions; (b) agreed to vote against any other matter, action, agreement, transaction

covenants, agreements or obligations under the Merger Agreement or (ii) any of the mutual or YD Biopharma conditions to the Closing
in the Merger Agreement not being satisfied; (c) (i) waived, subject to and conditioned upon the Closing and to the fullest

to adjustment or other anti-dilution protections to which such Breeze Initial Stockholder may be entitled in connection with the
Mergers or the other Transactions; (d) agreed to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
Current Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, including, among other things, statements regarding the anticipated benefits and impact of the proposed transaction on the combined
company’s business and future financial and operating results, the anticipated timing of closing of the proposed transaction, the
anticipated growth of the industries and markets in which YD Biopharma competes, the success and customer acceptance of YD Biopharma’s
product and service offerings and other aspects of YD Biopharma’s operations, plans, objectives, opportunities, expectations or
operating results, the expected ownership structure of the combined company and the likelihood and ability of the parties to successfully
consummate the proposed transaction. Words such as “may,” “should,” “will,” “believe,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimated,” “target,” “project,”
and similar phrases or words of similar meaning that denote future expectations or intent regarding the combined company’s financial
results, operations and other matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements
as predictions of future events. Such forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of management and
are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties and other factors, both known and unknown,
which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control and that may cause actual results and the timing of future events to differ
materially from the results and timing of future events anticipated by the forward-looking statements in this Current Report, including
but not limited to: (i) the ability of the parties to complete the proposed transaction within the time frame anticipated or at all, which
may adversely impact the price of Breeze’s securities; (ii) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction
or those benefits taking longer than anticipated to be realized; (iii) the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed by
Breeze’s business combination deadline; (iv) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the proposed transaction,
including the adoption of the definitive merger agreement by the stockholders of Breeze or YD Biopharma, the receipt of any required governmental
or regulatory approvals or the failure to meet the Nasdaq listing standards in connection with the closing of the proposed transaction;
(v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the definitive merger agreement;
(vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed transaction on YD Biopharma’s business relationships, performance
and business generally; (vii) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of YD Biopharma and any potential
difficulties in YD Biopharma employee retention as a result of the proposed transaction; (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that
may be instituted against YD Biopharma or Breeze related to the definitive merger agreement or the proposed transaction or any product
liability or regulatory lawsuits or proceedings relating to YD Biopharma’s products or services; (ix) the ability to maintain the
listing of Pubco’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market after the closing; (x) potential volatility in the price of Breeze’s
securities due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which YD Biopharma operates,
variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting YD Biopharma’s business, and changes in
the combined company’s capital structure; (xi) the ability to implement business plans, identify and realize additional opportunities
and achieve forecasts and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction; (xii) the risk of downturns and the possibility
of rapid change in the highly competitive industries in which YD Biopharma operates or the markets that YD Biopharma targets; (xiii) the
inability of YD Biopharma and its current and future collaborators to successfully develop and commercialize YD Biopharma’s products
and services in the expected time frame or at all; (xiv) the risk that the combined company may never achieve or sustain profitability
or may need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; and (xv)
the costs of the proposed transaction. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report are also subject to additional
risks, uncertainties and factors, including those described in Breeze’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q and other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Pubco and/or Breeze from time to time. You are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance as projected financial information and other information
are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many
of which are beyond our control. The forward-looking statements included in this Current Report are made only as of the date hereof, and
we disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date
hereof.
No Offer or Solicitation
This
Current Report is not intended to and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or to buy any securities
or a solicitation of any vote or approval and is not a substitute for the proxy statement/prospectus or any other document that Breeze
may file with the SEC or send to Breeze’s, Pubco’s or YD Biopharma’s stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction.
No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act.

(i) each Company Ordinary
Share (excluding any Cancelled Shares or Dissenting Shares) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger
Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio (rounded to the

Consideration pursuant to this Section 3.01(b)(i) will no longer be outstanding, will automatically be cancelled and retired
and will cease to exist, and each holder of (A) any Certificate formerly representing any such Company Ordinary Shares or
(B) any book-entry account which immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time represented Company Ordinary Shares
will, subject to applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Shares, cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to

3.01(b)(i);
(ii) each share of Capital
Stock owned by Pubco, Parent or the Merger Subs or held in the treasury of the Company, or owned by any of their respective direct

Sub Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time shall be converted into and
exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share of the Company Surviving Subsidiary;

by virtue of the SPAC Merger and without any action on the part of Pubco, Parent, the Parent Merger Sub or the holders of any of the
following securities:
(a)
Parent Common Stock. Each share Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Parent Merger Effective
Time that is not redeemed pursuant to the Redemption Rights (other than Dissenting Parent Shares and those shares described in Section
3.02(d) below) shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive one (1) share of Pubco Common

Parent Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as provided herein or required under applicable
Law. Each certificate previously evidencing shares of Parent Common Stock (other than Dissenting Parent Shares) shall be exchanged for
a certificate (if requested) representing the same number of Parent Common Stock upon the surrender of such certificate. Each certificate
formerly representing Parent Common Stock (other than Dissenting Parent Shares) shall thereafter represent the same number of Pubco Common
Stock.
(b)
Parent Warrants. Each issued and outstanding Parent Warrant shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder
thereof, be converted into a warrant to purchase shares of Pubco Common Stock (each, a “Pubco Assumed Parent Warrant”)
determined in accordance with the terms of such Parent Warrants. At the Parent Merger Effective Time, the Parent Warrants shall cease
to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. Each of the Pubco Assumed Parent Warrants
shall have, and be subject to, substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Parent Warrants, except that in each case
they shall represent the right to acquire shares of Pubco Common Stock in lieu of shares Parent Common Stock, in each case, determined
in accordance with the terms of such Parent Warrant. At or prior to the Parent Merger Effective Time, Pubco shall take all corporate action
necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Pubco Assumed Parent Warrants
remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares of Pubco Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of such Pubco Assumed Parent Warrants.
(c)
Parent Rights. Each issued and outstanding Parent Right shall be automatically converted into the number of shares of Pubco
Common Stock that would have been received by the holder thereof if the Parent Right had been converted in accordance with the Parent
Organizational Documents into shares of Parent Common Stock. At the Parent Merger Effective Time, the Parent Rights shall cease to be
outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. The holders of certificates previously evidencing
Parent Rights outstanding immediately prior to the Parent Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Parent
Rights, except as provided herein or by applicable Law. Each certificate formerly representing Parent Rights shall thereafter represent
only the right to receive shares of Pubco Common Stock as set forth herein.

Treasury Shares. If there are any shares of Parent Common Stock that are owned by Parent as treasury shares or by any direct
or indirect Subsidiary of Parent, such shares shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration therefor.

Section 3.04
Exchange of Company Securities.
(a)
Exchange Agent. Pubco shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably
acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt,
that Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or any of its Affiliates) shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Company) and enter
into a paying and exchange agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Pubco and the Company (the “Exchange
Agent Agreement”) for the purpose of exchanging certificates representing the Capital Stock (collectively, the “Certificates”),
if any, and each share of Capital Stock held in book-entry form on the stock transfer books of the Company immediately prior to the Company
Merger Effective Time, in either case, for the portion of the Aggregate Company Merger Consideration issuable in respect of such Capital
Stock pursuant to Section 3.01(b) on the terms and subject to the other conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Company shall
reasonably cooperate with Pubco and the Exchange Agent in connection with the appointment of the Exchange Agent, the entry into the Exchange
Agent Agreement (including, if necessary or advisable, as determined in good faith by Pubco, by also entering into the Exchange Agent
Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company) and the performance of the covenants and agreements in this Section
3.04(a) (including the provision of any information, or the entry into any agreements or documentation, necessary or advisable, as
determined in good faith by Pubco, or otherwise required by the Exchange Agent Agreement for the Exchange Agent to fulfill its duties
as the Exchange Agent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby).
(b)
Exchange Procedures.
(i) On the Closing Date,
Pubco shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the Participating Securityholders,
for exchange and issuance in accordance with this ARTICLE III, the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares sufficient to deliver the
Aggregate Company Merger Consideration issuable pursuant to this Agreement (such Pubco Ordinary Shares being hereinafter referred to
as the “Exchange Fund”).
(ii) Pubco shall cause the
Exchange Agent, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, to issue such Aggregate Company Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund
in accordance with the Company Merger Payment Schedule and the other applicable provisions
contained in this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.
(iii)
Upon the delivery of the Company Merger Payment Schedule to the Exchange Agent in accordance with Section 3.04(i), Pubco,
Parent and the Company shall take reasonable steps to cause the applicable Aggregate Company Merger Consideration to be issued to the
applicable Participating Securityholder in book-entry form as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date; provided
that the applicable Aggregate Company Merger Consideration shall not be issued with respect to shares of Capital Stock represented by
a Certificate until the applicable holder of such Capital Stock has surrendered such Certificate to the Exchange Agent.
(iv)
If any Aggregate Company Merger Consideration is to be issued to a Person other than the holder of Capital Stock in whose name
the surrendered Certificate or the transferred shares of Capital Stock in book-entry form is registered, it shall be a condition to the
issuance of the applicable Aggregate Company Merger Consideration that, in addition to any other requirements set forth in the Exchange
Agent Agreement, (A) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such share
of Capital Stock in book-entry form shall be properly transferred and (B) the Person requesting such consideration pay to the Exchange
Agent any transfer or similar Taxes required as a result of such consideration being issued to a Person other than the registered holder
of such Certificate or share of Capital Stock in book-entry form or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such transfer
or similar Taxes have been paid or are not payable.
(c)
No Further Rights in Capital Stock. The Aggregate Company
Merger Consideration issuable upon conversion of the Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued
in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Capital Stock.
(d)
Adjustments to Aggregate Company Merger Consideration. The
Aggregate Company Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock
dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into shares of Pubco Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, combination, merger, sale or exchange of shares or other like change with respect to shares of Pubco Common Stock occurring
on or after the date hereof and prior to the Company Merger Effective Time.
(e)
Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange
Fund that remains undistributed to the Participating Securityholders for one (1) year after the Company Merger Effective Time shall be
delivered to Pubco, upon demand, and any Participating Securityholder who has not theretofore complied with this Section 3.04 shall
thereafter look only to Parent for such holder’s Per Share Company Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining
unclaimed by Participating Securityholders as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat
to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Pubco free
and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
(f) No
Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, Pubco, Parent or the Company Surviving Subsidiary shall be liable to any
Participating Securityholder for any Pubco Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a
public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.
(g) Withholding
Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Pubco, Parent, the Company Merger Sub, the
Company, the Company Surviving Subsidiary and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts (including
shares, options or other property) otherwise payable, issuable or transferable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is
required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment, issuance or transfer under the Code or any provision of state, local
or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid to the applicable Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable Law, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having
been paid, issued or transferred to the Participating Securityholder (or intended recipients) in respect of which such deduction and
withholding was made. The parties hereto shall cooperate in good faith to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding.
(h) Fractional
Shares. No certificates or scrip or shares representing fractional Pubco Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon the
exchange of Capital Stock and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights of a
stockholder of Pubco or a holder of shares of Pubco Common Stock. In lieu of any fractional share of Pubco Common Stock to which any
holder of Capital Stock would otherwise be entitled, the Exchange Agent shall round up or down to the nearest whole share of Pubco
Common Stock, as applicable, with a fraction of 0.5 rounded up. No cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares
eliminated by rounding.
(i) Company
Merger Payment Schedule. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Pubco,
Parent and the Exchange Agent a schedule (the “Company Merger Payment Schedule”) showing the percentage
allocation of the aggregate Per Share Company Merger Consideration to each Participating Securityholder at the Closing (such
Participating Securityholder’s “Pro Rata Share”) and the corresponding number of shares of Pubco
Common Stock to be issued to such Participating Securityholder pursuant to Section 3.01.
Section 3.05
Stock Transfer Books. At the Company Merger Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the
Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Ordinary Shares thereafter on the records of
the Company. From and after the Company Merger Effective Time, the holders of the Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Company
Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Capital Stock, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement
or by Law.

shall each pay one-half (1/2) of all costs relating to the Transactions, including (A) any EDGAR agent typesetting fees incurred in connection
with the preparation and filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement,
(B) any fees relating to SEC or other regulatory filing fees (including those incurred in connection with the Proxy Statement, the Registration
Statement and the Notification and Report Forms filed under the HSR Act and any other applicable Antitrust Law), and (C) all transfer
taxes associated with the issuance of Pubco’s securities at Closing; provided, that each party shall bear the fees
and expenses of its advisors incurred in connection with the Transactions.
(b)
No sooner than five (5) nor later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall provide to the Company
a written report setting forth a list of all of the Legacy Parent Transaction Expenses. On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall
cause the Legacy Parent Transaction Expenses to be forgiven, assigned to Sponsor without recourse to Parent, or to be satisfied in full
with no further recourse to Parent.
Section 3.07
Dissenters’ Rights.
(a) Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the Cayman Act, Company Ordinary Shares that are
outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time and that are held by shareholders of the Company who have validly
exercised in writing their dissenters’ rights for such Company Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman
Action, and have otherwise complied in all respects with the provisions of the Cayman Act relevant to the exercise and perfection of
dissenters’ rights (collectively, the “Dissenting Company Shares”) shall not be converted into, and
such stockholders shall have no right to receive, the applicable Aggregate Company Merger Consideration unless and until such
stockholder withdraws or otherwise loses such dissenters’ rights (through failure to perfect such dissenters’ rights or
otherwise) under the Cayman Act. From and after the Company Merger Effective Time, (A) the Dissenting Company Shares shall no longer
be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and extinguished by virtue of the Company Merger and shall cease to exist and
(B) the holders of Dissenting Company Shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under Section 238 of
the Cayman Act and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of a shareholder of the Company
Surviving Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates (including Pubco); provided, however, that if any holder of Dissenting
Company Shares effectively withdraws or loses such dissenters’ rights (through failure to perfect such dissenters’
rights or otherwise) under the Cayman Act, then the Company Ordinary Shares held by such Dissenting Company Shareholder (1) shall no
longer be deemed to be Dissenting Company Shares and (2) shall be treated as if they had been converted automatically at the Company
Merger Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Company Merger Consideration pursuant to Section
3.01(a)(i) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each holder of Dissenting Company Shares who becomes
entitled to payment for his, her or its Dissenting Company Shares pursuant to the Cayman Act shall receive payment thereof from
Company in accordance with the Cayman Act. The Company shall give Parent (prior to the Closing) or the Sponsor (after the Closing)
prompt notice of any written demands for dissenters’ rights in respect of any Company Ordinary Share, attempted withdrawals of
such demands and any other material developments related to any such demands and provide copies of all documents, instruments or
other communications received by Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives related thereto and
shall otherwise keep Parent (prior to the Closing) or the Sponsor (after the Closing) reasonably apprised as to the status and
developments related to such matters, and Parent (prior to the Closing) or the Sponsor (after the Closing) shall have the opportunity
to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to all such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior
written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of Parent (prior to the Closing) or the Sponsor (after the
Closing), make any payment or deliver any consideration (including Pubco Ordinary Shares) with respect to, settle or offer or agree
to settle any such demands.
(b)
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, shares of Parent Common
Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Parent Merger Effective Time and that are held by stockholders of Parent who shall
have neither voted in favor of the Parent Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal
for such shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the DGCL and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant
to the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights (“Dissenting Parent Shares”) shall not be converted
into, and such stockholders shall have no right to receive, shares of Pubco Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE
III unless and until such stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment
under the DGCL. Shares held by any stockholder of Parent who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her
or its dissenters’ rights to appraisal of such shares of Parent Common Stock under the DGCL, shall thereupon be deemed to have been
converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, shares of Pubco Common Stock, without any interest thereon,
in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE III.

of the following that are (as applicable) owned or purported to be owned, used or held for use by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries: (i)
Registered Intellectual Property constituting Company Owned IP (showing in each, as applicable, the filing date, date of issuance, expiration

or services described in the Registration Statement, the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Prospectus as under development) or to the
development, manufacture, operation and sale of any products and services sold by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, and the consummation
of the Transactions will not conflict with, alter or impair any such rights. No Company IP, or, to the Company’s Knowledge, Company
Licensed IP, has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part. The Company IP constitutes
all Intellectual Property rights necessary for, or to the knowledge of the Company, otherwise used in, the operation of the business of
the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as currently conducted and is sufficient for the conduct of such business as currently conducted,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with, alter or impair any such rights.
(c)
Other than as set forth in Section 4.13(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company or one of the Company Subsidiaries
(i) exclusively owns (beneficially and, with respect to Registered Intellectual Property, as record owner), free and clear of all Liens
(other than Permitted Liens), all right, title and interest in and to the Company Owned IP and, (ii) has the right to use, pursuant
to a valid and enforceable Contract, all Company Licensed IP. All Company Owned IP is subsisting and, to the knowledge of the Company,
valid and enforceable. No loss or expiration of any of the Company Owned IP is threatened in writing, or, to the Company’s knowledge,
pending, and, to the Company’s knowledge, no loss or expiration of exclusively in-licensed Company IP is threatened in writing or
pending. To the Company’s knowledge, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with the terms
of each agreement pursuant to which Intellectual Property has been licensed to the Company or one of the Company Subsidiaries, and all
such agreements are in full force and effect.
(d)
The Company and each of its applicable Company Subsidiaries have taken and take reasonable actions to maintain, protect and enforce
the secrecy, confidentiality and value of its Trade Secrets and other material Confidential Information, including requiring all Persons
having access thereto to execute written non-disclosure agreements. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has disclosed any Trade
Secrets or other Confidential Information to any other Person other than pursuant to a written confidentiality agreement under which such
other Person agrees to maintain the confidentiality of and protect such Confidential Information. To the Company’s knowledge, no
Trade Secrets of the Company have been disclosed by the Company in a manner that has resulted or is likely to result in the loss of trade
secret or other rights in and to such information.
(e)
Other than as set forth in Section 4.13(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, (i) during the three (3) years prior to
the date of this Agreement there have been no claims filed or claims threatened in writing, against the Company or any Company Subsidiary,
by any Person (A) contesting the validity, use, ownership, enforceability, scope, patentability or registrability of any of the Company
IP, or (B) alleging any infringement or misappropriation of, or other violation of, any valid Intellectual Property rights of other
Persons (including any unsolicited written demands or written offers to license any Intellectual Property rights from any other Person);
(ii) the operation of the business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (including the Products) as currently conducted does
not infringe, misappropriate or violate, any Intellectual Property rights of other Persons; (iii) to the Company’s knowledge
and except as disclosed to the Parent in writing, no other Person has infringed, misappropriated or violated any of the Company IP, and
no such action, suit, proceeding or claim alleging such infringement, misappropriation or violation of Company IP has been filed or threatened
in writing by the Company or its Subsidiaries against any other Person; (iv) to the Company’s knowledge, there would be no threatened
action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company or one of the Company Subsidiaries would, upon the commercialization of any
product or service described in the Registration Statement, the Company Disclosure Schedules or the Prospectus, infringe, misappropriate
or otherwise violate, any patent, trademark, tradename, service name, copyright, trade secret or other Intellectual Property or proprietary
right of another; and (v) neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries has received written notice of any of the foregoing
or received any formal written opinion of counsel regarding the foregoing, and the Company is unaware of any facts which could form a
reasonable basis for any such action, suit, proceeding or claim.
(f) To the
Company’s knowledge, there is no prior art or other information that may render any Patent within the Company Owned IP invalid
or unenforceable or that may render any Patent application within such Intellectual Property unpatentable that has not been
disclosed to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any foreign equivalent thereto. To the Company’s knowledge, there are no
material defects in any of the Company Owned IP. The product candidates described in the Company Disclosure Schedules as under
development or commercialization by the Company or any Company Subsidiary fall within the scope of the claims of one or more Patent
or pending Patent application owned by, or exclusively licensed to, the Company or any Company Subsidiary.
(g)

Governmental Authority were used, directly or indirectly, to develop or create, in whole or in part, any Company Owned IP.
(h) Other than as set
forth in Section 4.13(h) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, all Persons who have contributed, developed or conceived any
Company Owned IP have executed valid and enforceable written agreements with the Company or one of the Company Subsidiaries,
pursuant to which such Persons assigned or have an obligation to assign to the Company or the applicable Company Subsidiary all of
their entire right, title, and interest in and to any Intellectual Property created, conceived or otherwise developed by such Person
in the course of or related to his, her or its relationship with the Company or the applicable Company Subsidiary, without further
ongoing consideration or any restrictions or obligations whatsoever, including on the use or other disposition or ownership of such
Intellectual Property; or, with respect to Intellectual Property rights that cannot be assigned
(e.g., “moral rights” in certain jurisdictions), such Person has unconditionally and irrevocably waived the enforcement
thereof, and no such Person has excluded works or inventions from such assignment. To the Company’s knowledge, no
current or former employee, director or officer of the Company or one of the Company Subsidiaries or any consultant who has
contributed, developed or conceived of any Company Owned IP is or has been in violation of any term of any employment or consulting
contract, patent disclosure agreement, invention assignment agreement, non-competition agreement, non-solicitation agreement,
nondisclosure agreement or any restrictive covenant to or with a former employer where the basis of such violation relates to such
employee’s employment or other engagement with the Company or Company Subsidiary.
(i) No Related Party,
nor any current or former partner, director, stockholder, officer or employee of the Company or Company Subsidiaries or of any
Related Party will, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, own, license or retain any rights in any of the
Intellectual Property owned, used or held for use (including for defensive purposes) by the Company in the conduct of the business
as currently conducted.
(j) Section
4.13(j) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list, as of the date of this Agreement, of all Open Source Software that

commercially reasonable disaster recovery, business continuity and risk assessment plans, procedures and facilities. To the Company’s
knowledge, in the three (3) years prior to the date of this Agreement, there has not been any failure with respect to any of the Business
Systems that are material to the conduct of the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ business that has not been remedied
or replaced in all material respects.
(l) The Company and each
of the Company Subsidiaries currently and during the three (3) years prior to the date of this Agreement have complied in all
material respects with (i) all Privacy/Data Security Laws applicable to the Company or a Company Subsidiary, (ii) any
applicable privacy or other policies of the Company or a Company Subsidiary, respectively, published on a Company website or
otherwise made publicly available by the Company or a Company Subsidiary concerning the collection, dissemination, storage, use or
other Processing of Personal Information or Business Data, (iii) industry standards to which the Company or any Company
Subsidiary is bound to adhere, and (iv) all Contracts that the Company or any Company Subsidiary has entered into or is
otherwise bound with respect to privacy or data security (collectively, the “Data Security Requirements”).
The Company and the Company Subsidiaries have each implemented data security safeguards that are designed to protect the security
and integrity of the Business Systems and any Personal Information and that are otherwise consistent with the Data Security
Requirements. The Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ employees and contractors receive commercially reasonable
training on information security issues. Section 4.13(l) of the Company Disclosure Schedule identifies any Contracts under
which Business Data or Personal Information of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries is hosted
or processed on the systems or networks of third parties, including cloud computing arrangements. To the Company’s knowledge
there is no Disabling Device in any of the Business Systems constituting Company Owned IP or Product components. For the two (2)
years prior to the date of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries has (i) experienced any data
security breaches, unauthorized access or use of any of the Business Systems, or unauthorized acquisition, destruction, damage,
disclosure, loss, corruption, alteration, or use of any Personal Information or Business Data; or (ii) been subject to or
received written notice of any audits, proceedings or investigations by any Governmental Authority or any customer, or received any
material claims or complaints regarding the collection, dissemination, storage or use of Personal Information, or the violation of
any applicable Data Security Requirements. All processing, storing and transmitting of payment card data by or for the
Company and the Company Subsidiaries is compliant with PCI DSS.
(m) The Company or one
of the Company Subsidiaries (i) owns the Business Data constituting Company Owned IP free and clear of any restrictions other
than those imposed by applicable Privacy/Data Security Laws, or (ii) has the right, as applicable, to use, exploit, publish,
reproduce, distribute, license, sell, and create derivative works of and otherwise Process the other Business Data, in whole or in
part, in the manner in which the Company and the Company Subsidiaries receive and use such Business Data prior to the Closing Date.
The Company and the Company Subsidiaries are not subject to any material legal obligations, including based on the Transactions
contemplated hereunder, that would prohibit Merger Sub, or Parent from receiving, using or otherwise Processing Personal Information
after the Closing Date, in a similar manner in which the Company and the Company Subsidiaries receive, use and otherwise Process
such Personal Information immediately prior to the Closing Date or result in material liabilities in connection with Data Security
Requirements.

accumulated and communicated to Parent’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley

Section 6.03 Claims
Against Trust Account. Reference is made to the final prospectus of Parent, dated as of November
23, 2020 and filed with the SEC (Registration No. 333-249677) on November 24, 2020 (the
“Prospectus”). The Company hereby represents and warrants that it understands that Parent has established
the Trust Account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the overallotment
shares acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest
accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Parent’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by
Parent’s underwriters, the “Public Stockholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the
Prospectus, Parent may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem
their Parent Common Stock in connection with the consummation of Parent’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 Parent fails to consummate a Business Combination within 12
months after the closing of the IPO, subject to extension by amendment to Parent’s organizational documents, (c) with respect
to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts as necessary to pay any Taxes and up to $100,000 in
dissolution expenses, or (d) to Parent after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in
consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its 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 Parent or its
Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company or its 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 Company on behalf of itself and its
Affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Company or any of its 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 Parent 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 this Agreement or any other agreement with Parent or its
Affiliates). The Company agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied
upon by Parent and its Affiliates to induce Parent to enter into this Agreement, and the Company further intends and understands
such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Company and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent
the Company or any of its Affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out
of any matter relating to Parent or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Parent
or its Representatives, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s and its Affiliates’ sole remedy
shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Company or its Affiliates (or any
Person claiming on any of their behalf or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any
distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event (a) the Company or any of its Affiliates commences any
action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Parent or its
Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions
therefrom) or the Public Stockholders of Parent, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, and (b) Parent and its
Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such action or proceeding, Parent or its Representatives, as applicable, shall be
entitled to recover from the Company and its Affiliates the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this paragraph shall survive indefinitely with respect
to the obligations set forth in this Agreement.

Statement becomes effective (but in any event no later than 30 days after the date on which the Proxy Statement is mailed to stockholders

Parent may postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting on one or more occasions for up to thirty (30) days in the

the Company or any Company Subsidiary; provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate
any benefit or the funding of any such benefit. In addition, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) cause to be waived any
eligibility waiting periods, any evidence of insurability requirements and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations under
each of the Employee Benefit Plans established or maintained by the Company Surviving Subsidiary or any of its Subsidiaries that cover
the Continuing Employees or their dependents, and (ii) cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee and his or
her covered dependents, during the portion of the plan year in which the Closing occurs, under those health and welfare benefit plans
in which such Continuing Employee currently participates to be taken into account under those health and welfare benefit plans in which
such Continuing Employee participates subsequent to the Closing Date for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance, and maximum
out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year. Following
the Closing, the Company Surviving Subsidiary will honor all accrued but unused vacation and other paid time off of the Continuing Employees
that existed immediately prior to the Closing with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing occurs. The Company shall provide
Pubco or its designee with all information reasonably requested and necessary to allow Pubco or its designee to comply with such obligations.

this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer upon any Continuing Employee or legal representative or beneficiary or dependent thereof,
or any other Person, any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, whether as a third-party
beneficiary or otherwise, including, without limitation, any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or
level of compensation or benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, shall constitute an amendment or modification
of any Employee Benefit Plan or other employee benefit arrangement or shall require any of the Company, Pubco, Parent, the Parent Surviving
Subsidiary, the Company Surviving Subsidiary or any of its subsidiaries to continue any Plan or other employee benefit arrangements, or
prevent their amendment, modification or termination.
Section 7.08 Directors’
and Officers’ Indemnification.
(a)
The certificate of incorporation of the Company Surviving Subsidiary and Pubco shall each contain provisions no less favorable
with respect to indemnification, advancement or expense reimbursement than are set forth in the Company Memorandum and Articles, which
provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Company Merger Effective Time in
any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, were
directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law. From
and after the Company Merger Effective Time, Pubco agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and
officer of the Company against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages
or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Company Merger Effective Time whether
asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Company Merger Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted
under applicable Law and the Company Memorandum and Articles in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such Person (including
the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law). Pubco further agrees that with respect to
the provisions of the bylaws and certificate of incorporation or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of the Company Subsidiaries
relating to indemnification, advancement or expense reimbursement, such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified
for a period of six (6) years from the Company Merger Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of
individuals who, at or prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of such
Company Subsidiary, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law.
(b)
For a period of six (6) years from the Company Merger Effective Time, Pubco shall maintain in effect directors’ and officers’
liability insurance covering those Persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance policy (true, correct and complete copies of which have been heretofore made available to Pubco or its agents or Representatives
in the Virtual Data Room) on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage, except that in no event shall
Pubco be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of 250% of the aggregate annual premium payable by the Company
for such insurance policy for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Maximum Annual Premium”); provided,
however, that (i) Pubco may cause coverage to be extended under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
by obtaining a six (6)-year “tail” policy containing terms not less favorable than the terms of such current
insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, and (ii) if any claim
is asserted or made within such six (6)-year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 7.08(b) shall be
continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.
(c) On the Closing Date,
to the extent not already entered into, Pubco shall enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to each

indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective following the Closing.

and Parent shall give prompt notice in writing to the Company, of any event which a party becomes aware of between the date of this Agreement

its reasonable best efforts to make all filings with, respond to questions from, obtain all permits, consents, approvals, authorizations,
qualifications and orders of, and the expiration or termination of waiting periods by, Governmental Authorities and parties to Contracts

to fulfill the conditions to the Mergers. If at any time after the Parent Merger Effective Time or Company Merger Effective Time further

party shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all such action.
(b)
During the Interim Period, each of the parties shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the Transactions,
including promptly notifying the other parties of any communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority

practicable consult about, any proposed communication by such party to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions.
During the Interim Period, no party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting, video or telephone conference, or other
communications with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other
parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and
participate at such meeting, conference or other communications. Subject to the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement, during the Interim
Period, the parties will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as
the other parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Subject to the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement, the parties
will provide each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications, including any documents, information and
data contained therewith, between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other
hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated hereby during the Interim Period. No party shall take or cause
to be taken any action before any Governmental Authority that is inconsistent with or intended to delay its action on requests for a consent
or the consummation of the Transactions.
(c)
During the Interim Period, each of Parent and Pubco will provide such information and such other assistance as is reasonably requested
by the Company in connection with the Permitted Financings.
(d)
During the Interim Period, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause holders of Parent Common Stock not to exercise or
otherwise waive their Redemption Rights, including by entry into binding non-redemption agreements. Parent shall not enter into any Contracts
between Parent or any of its Affiliates and any holder of Parent Common Stock or any of its Affiliates relating to any such waiver of
Redemption Rights without the prior written consent of the Company; provided that the Sponsor shall be expressly permitted to transfer,
assign or convey shares of Parent Common Stock beneficially owned by the Sponsor in connection with such Contracts to secure waivers of
the Redemption Rights; provided, further, that any shares of Parent Common Stock transferred, assigned or conveyed in connection
with securing such waivers of Redemption Rights shall remain obligated under the terms of the Sponsor Support Agreement.
Section 7.11
Public Announcements. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint
press release, the text of which has been agreed to by each of Parent and the Company. Thereafter, between the date of this Agreement
and the Closing Date (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE IX) unless otherwise prohibited by
applicable Law or the requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, each of Parent and Pubco, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other
hand, shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public
statements with respect to this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or
make any such public statement without the prior written consent of the other party. Furthermore, nothing contained in this Section
7.11 shall prevent Parent or the Company or its respective Affiliates from furnishing customary or other reasonable information concerning
the Transactions to their investors and prospective investors that is substantively consistent with public statements previously consented
to by the other party in accordance with this Section 7.11.
Section 7.12
Tax Matters.
(a)
None of the parties hereto shall (and each shall cause its Affiliates not to) take or cause to be taken (or fail to take or cause
to be taken) any action, which action (or failure to act), whether before or after the Effective Time, would reasonably be expected to
prevent or impede the Mergers from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.
(b) For U.S. federal and
applicable state income Tax purposes, the parties hereto intend that (i) taken together, the Mergers and any PIPE Investment shall
together qualify as a transaction described in Section 351(a) of the Code, (ii) the Company Merger shall qualify as a
“reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder
and (iii) that this Agreement be, and hereby is adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” (within the meaning of Section
368(a) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3) to which each of Pubco, Company Merger Sub, and the
Company are parties under Section 368(b) of the Code. The parties hereto shall prepare and file all Tax Returns and otherwise report
the Mergers consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment (including attaching a statement described in Treasury Regulations Sections
1.368-3(a) and 1.368-3(b) to applicable Tax Returns), unless otherwise required pursuant to a
“determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.
Each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any
Governmental Authority. The parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in connection with

(c)
Each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party in writing if, before the Closing, such party knows or has reason to believe
that the Mergers may not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment (and whether the terms of this Agreement could be reasonably amended in
order to facilitate the Mergers qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment). In the event either (i) Parent or the Company seeks a Tax
opinion from its respective Tax advisor regarding the Intended Tax Treatment or (ii) the SEC requests or requires such Tax opinion, each
party hereto shall use reasonable efforts to execute and deliver customary Tax representation letters as the applicable Tax advisor may
reasonably request in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Tax advisor. In the event the SEC requests or requires a Tax
opinion with respect to the Mergers, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its legal counsel to deliver such Tax opinion,
subject to customary assumptions and limitations, to Parent, and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause a nationally recognized
accounting firm to deliver such Tax opinion, subject to customary assumptions and limitations, to the Company.
Section 7.13

the date of this Agreement, the Company and Parent each shall file (or cause to be filed) with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department
of Justice and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission a Notification and Report Form as required by the HSR Act. The parties hereto agree to

to Antitrust Laws and to take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable
waiting periods or obtain required approvals, as applicable under Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable.
(b) During the Interim Period,
Parent and the Company each shall, in connection with its efforts to obtain all requisite approvals and expiration or termination of
waiting periods for the Transactions under any Antitrust Law, use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) cooperate in all respects
with each other party or its Affiliates in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other
inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private Person; (ii) keep the other reasonably informed of any communication received
by such party from, or given by such party to, any Governmental Authority and of any communication
received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, in each case regarding any of the Transactions, and promptly
furnish the other with copies of all such written communications; (iii) permit the other to review in advance any written communication
to be given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, any Governmental Authority or, in connection
with any proceeding by a private Person, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority or other Person,
give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; (iv) in the event a party is prohibited
from participating in or attending any meetings or conferences, keep such party promptly and reasonably apprised with respect thereto;
and (v) cooperate in the filing of any memoranda, white papers, filings, correspondence or other written communications explaining or
defending the Transactions, articulating any regulatory or competitive argument, or responding to requests or objections made by any
Governmental Authority; provided that materials required to be provided pursuant to this Section 7.14(b) may be
limited to outside counsel and may be redacted (x) to remove references to the valuation of the Company, and (y) as necessary
to comply with contractual arrangements.
(c)
No party hereto shall take any action that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect or materially delay the approval of
any Governmental Authority, or the expiration or termination of any waiting period of any required filings or applications under Antitrust
Laws, including by agreeing to merge with or acquire any other Person or acquire a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any
other Person. The parties hereto further covenant and agree, with respect to a threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction
or other order, decree or ruling or statute, rule, regulation or executive order that would adversely affect the ability of the parties
to consummate the Transactions, to use reasonable best efforts to prevent or lift the entry, enactment or promulgation thereof, as the
case may be.
Section 7.15 Trust
Account. As of the Parent Merger Effective Time, the obligations of Parent to dissolve or
liquidate within a specified time period as contained in the Parent Certificate of Incorporation will be terminated and Parent shall
have no obligation whatsoever to dissolve and liquidate the assets of Parent by reason of the consummation of the Mergers or
otherwise, and, except to the extent they elect to redeem their shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Mergers
pursuant to the Parent Organizational Documents, no stockholder of Parent shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust
Account; provided that the foregoing shall not modify or restrict the obligations of Parent to consummate the redemption of
any shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to a valid exercise of Redemption Rights prior to the Parent Merger Effective Time in
accordance with the Parent Organizational Documents. At least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the Parent Merger Effective Time,
Parent shall provide notice to the Trustee in accordance with the Trust Agreement and shall deliver any other documents, opinions or
notices required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement and cause the Trustee prior to the Parent Merger

Common Stock in connection with the Mergers pursuant to the Parent Organizational Documents pursuant to the Trust Agreement) (to be
held as available cash on the balance sheet of Parent, and to be used to pay (a) as and when due all amounts payable to the
stockholders of Parent holding shares of Parent Common Stock in the event they elect to redeem their Parent Common Stock pursuant to
the Parent Organizational Documents, (b) any Outstanding Transaction Expenses payable by Parent on the Closing Date pursuant

or exercise of all Company Securities held by such Person), or any immediate family member of any of the foregoing (whether directly or
indirectly through an Affiliate of such Person) (a “Related Party”) or that would otherwise be required to be

of each payee of Legacy Transaction Expenses set forth on Section 1.01 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, and each payee of any
other transaction expenses reasonably determined by Parent and the Company to have been omitted from Section 1.01 of the Parent
Disclosure Schedule but which would otherwise constitute Legacy Parent Transaction Expenses, to the assignment of such Legacy Parent Transaction
Expenses to the Sponsor, and that such payee will not seek any recourse from Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries (including, following the
Company Merger Effective Time, the Company) with respect to such Legacy Parent Transaction Expenses, and (b) assign to the Sponsor all
of the Legacy Parent Transaction Expenses set forth on Section 1.01 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule and any other transaction

of doubt, preferred equity) in the Company, the Parent and/or Pubco, convertible loan agreements with the Company, Parent and/or
Pubco, and/or enter into backstop arrangements with potential investors provided always that the terms of any such private placement
or backstop arrangement must be mutually agreeable to, and approved in advance in writing by each of the Company, Parent and Pubco
(a “PIPE Investment”). Each of the Company, Parent and Pubco shall use, and shall cause their respective
representatives to use, their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such PIPE Investment to occur, and having the
senior management of the Company, Parent and/or Pubco participate in any investor meetings and roadshows with respect to a PIPE
Investment as reasonably requested; provided, that any such PIPE Investment must not adversely impact the Intended Tax Treatment.
Each of the Company, Parent and Pubco agree that Parent or Pubco may pursue a PIPE Investment on terms that are aligned with those
attached as Schedule 7.20; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Schedule 7.20 or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the

offering of such PIPE Investment.

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public
policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the

negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a
mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent
possible.
Section 10.04 Entire
Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and
oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Non-Disclosure Agreement or as

in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party
hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit

the benefit of the Persons covered thereby and may be enforced by such Persons).
Section 10.06 Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State
of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. All legal actions and proceedings arising out of
or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court; provided that, if
jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal Action may be brought in any federal court
located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court. The parties hereto hereby (a) irrevocably submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any
Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b) agree not to commence any Action
relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than Actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to
enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. Each of the parties further agrees
that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties further waive any argument that such
service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of
motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described
herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal
process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of
judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient

agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of
litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other hereto have been induced to enter
into this Agreement and the Transactions, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section
10.07.
Section 10.08 Headings.
The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way
the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 10.09 Counterparts;
Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document may be executed and
delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery by email to counsel for the other parties of a counterpart
executed by a party shall be deemed to meet the requirements of the previous sentence.
Section 10.10
Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision
of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction
or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including
the parties’ obligation to consummate the Mergers) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if that court does not
have jurisdiction, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition
to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Each of the parties hereby
further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement
under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

Recourse. Except in the case of Fraud, all actions, claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of
actions (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute whether by or through attempted piercing of the
corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by
reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to: (a) this Agreement, (b) the negotiation, execution or
performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this
Agreement), (c) any breach of this Agreement and (d) any failure of the Mergers to be consummated, may be made only
against (and, without prejudice to the rights of any express third party beneficiary to whom rights under this Agreement inure
pursuant to Section 10.11), are those solely of the Persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement and
not against any Nonparty Affiliate (as defined below). Except in the case of Fraud, no other Person, including any director,

of, or any financial advisor or lender to, any party to this Agreement, or any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member,

limited liability company veil) for any claims, causes of action, obligations or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection
with or related in any manner to the items in the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (d) and each party, on behalf of
itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably releases and forever discharges each of the Nonparty Affiliate from any such liability
or obligation.

Parties”), that ArentFox Schiff LLP (“AFS”) may represent the shareholders or holders
of other equity interests of the Company or any of their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees or Affiliates
(other than the Company Surviving Subsidiary (collectively, the “YD Group”)), in each case solely in

transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, notwithstanding its prior representation of the Company and its Subsidiaries or other
Waiving Parties, and each of Pubco, Parent and the Company, on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties hereby consents thereto and
irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any conflict of interest, breach of duty or any other objection arising from or relating to
AFS’s prior representation of the Company, its Subsidiaries or of Waiving Parties. Each of Pubco, Parent and the Company, for
itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby further irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all privileged communications, written or
oral, between the Company and its Subsidiaries or any member of the Waiving Parties and AFS, made in connection with the
negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or Action arising out of or relating to, this
Agreement, any other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any matter relating to any of the
foregoing, are privileged communications that do not pass to the Company Surviving Subsidiary notwithstanding the Company Merger,

without any waiver thereof. Parent, Pubco and the Company, together with any of their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries,
successors or assigns, agree that no Person may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications, whether located in the records
or email server of the Company Surviving Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries, in any Action against or involving any of the Parties
after the Closing, and Parent, Pubco and the Company agree not to assert that any privilege has been waived as to the Privileged
Communications, by virtue of the Mergers.

into a joinder to this Agreement (“Pubco”), Breeze Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation that will be a direct,
wholly-owned Subsidiary of Pubco (“Parent Merger Sub”), and a Cayman Islands exempted company and that will
be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco, expected to be named “BH Biopharma Merger Sub Limited,” which is in the process of
being formed by the Parent, and once formed, the Parent shall cause it to enter into a joinder to this Agreement (“Company
Merger Sub”), entered into that certain Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”),

company (the “Parent Merger”), and with the security holders of Parent receiving substantially equivalent securities
of Pubco and (b) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (the “Company

and with the shareholders of the Company receiving Pubco Ordinary Shares, and as a result of the Mergers, Parent and the Company will
become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company listed on Nasdaq, all upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the provisions of applicable law.
B. Each
of the Parent Initial Stockholders is the record and beneficial owner of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Parent set forth
on Schedule A hereto (the “Shares”).
C. In
order to induce Parent and the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement and the Specified Stockholders to enter into the Stockholder
Support Agreement, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises and the mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement
to Vote; No Redemption. Each of the Parent Initial Stockholders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees (a) to vote, at
any meeting of the stockholders of Parent or in any action by written consent of the stockholders of Parent, all of such Parent Initial
Stockholder’s Shares (together with any other shares of Parent that such Parent Initial Stockholder acquires record or beneficial
ownership of or the power to vote after the date hereof, collectively, the “Subject Parent Stock”) (i) in favor of
the Parent Proposals, including without limitation the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Transactions, and if necessary
and applicable, the Extension Proposal, and (ii) against, and withhold consent with respect to, any other matter, action, agreement, transaction
or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in (A) a breach of any of the Parent Parties’ representations, warranties,
covenants, agreements or obligations under the Merger Agreement or (B) any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections
8.01 or 8.03 of the Merger Agreement not being satisfied, (b) if a meeting of the stockholders of Parent is held in respect of the matters
set forth in clause (a), to appear at such meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause all of its Subject Parent Stock to be counted
as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum, and (c) not to redeem, elect to redeem or tender or submit any of its Subject
Parent Stock for redemption in connection with such Parent stockholder approval, the Mergers or the other Transactions, or if necessary
and applicable, the Extension Proposal. Prior to any valid termination of the Merger Agreement, each of the Parent Initial Stockholders
shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable Laws to
consummate the Mergers and the other Transactions on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. The obligations of the
Parent Initial Stockholders specified in this Section 1 shall apply whether or not the Mergers, any of the other Transactions or
any action described above, or if necessary and applicable, the Extension Proposal, is recommend by the Parent Board. Each of the Parent
Initial Stockholders acknowledges receipt and review of a copy of the Merger Agreement.
2. Waiver
of Anti-dilution Protection. Each of the Parent Initial Stockholders hereby irrevocably (a) waives, subject to, and conditioned upon,
the occurrence of the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and the Parent Organizational Documents, and (b) agrees
not to assert or perfect, any rights to adjustment or other anti-dilution protections to which such Parent Initial Stockholder may be
entitled in connection with the Mergers or the other Transactions, or if necessary and applicable, the Extension Proposal.
3. Transfer
of Shares.
(a) Each
of the Parent Initial Stockholders hereby agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, assign, transfer (including
by operation of law), place a lien on, pledge, hypothecate, grant an option to purchase, distribute, dispose of or otherwise encumber
any of its Subject Parent Stock or otherwise enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking to do any of the foregoing
(each, a “Transfer”), (ii) deposit any of its Subject Parent Stock into a voting trust or enter into a
voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of its Subject Parent Stock that conflicts
with any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or (iii) take any action that would have the effect of preventing
or materially delaying the performance of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply
to any Transfer (A) to an Affiliate of such Parent Initial Stockholder, (B) to another Parent Initial Stockholder that is a Party
and bound by the terms and obligations hereof or (C) made in connection with the Mergers or the other Transactions; provided,
that any transferee of any Transfer of the type set forth in clause (A) must enter into a joinder agreement agreeing to become a Party.
(b) In
furtherance of the foregoing, Parent hereby agrees to (i) place a revocable stop order on all Subject Parent Stock subject to Section 3(a),
including those which may be covered by a registration statement, and (ii) notify Parent’s transfer agent in writing of such
stop order and the restrictions on such Subject Parent Stock under Section 3(a) and direct Parent’s transfer agent not
to process any attempts by any Parent Initial Stockholder to Transfer any Subject Parent Stock except in compliance with Section 3(a)
and which shall first be approved by Parent; for the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of Parent under this Section 3(b)
shall be deemed to be satisfied by the existence of any similar stop order and restrictions currently existing on the Subject Parent Stock.
4. Reserved.
5. Other
Covenants and Agreements.
(a) Each
of the Parent Initial Stockholders hereby agrees to be bound by and subject to (i) Section 7.04(b) (Confidentiality) and Section
7.11 (Public Announcements) of the Merger Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the parties to the Merger Agreement
and (ii) Section 7.06 (Exclusivity) and Section 7.02 (Parent Stockholders’ Meeting; Pubco and Merger Subs Stockholder’s
Approval) of the Merger Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to Parent, in each case, mutatis mutandis and as
if such Parent Initial Stockholder was a party thereto.
(b) The
Sponsor hereby agrees in accordance with Section 7.19 of the Merger Agreement to assume and pay all of the Legacy Parent Transaction Expenses
in full and will indemnify Pubco, Parent, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries from any and all liabilities relating to the Legacy
Parent Transaction Expenses. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Sponsor agrees that it shall not Transfer any of its
Shares or distribute any of its assets unless and until such time as it has assumed and paid in full all Legacy Parent Transaction Expenses
in accordance with this Section 5(b).
(c) Each
of the Parent Initial Stockholders acknowledges and agrees that the Company is entering into the Merger Agreement and the Specified Stockholders
are entering into the A&R Stockholder Support Agreement in reliance upon the Parent Initial Stockholders entering into this Agreement
and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained
in this Agreement, and but for the Parent Initial Stockholders entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform,
or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement, the Company would not
have entered into the Merger Agreement or agreed to consummate the Transactions and the Specified Stockholders would not have entered
into the Stockholder Support Agreement or agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.
6. Representations
and Warranties. Each of the Parent Initial Stockholders, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to Parent and the Company
as follows:
(a) If
such Parent Initial Stockholder is a natural person, he or she is legally competent to execute and deliver this Agreement. If such Parent
Initial Stockholder is not a natural person, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction
of its incorporation or organization.
(b) The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such Parent
Initial Stockholder’s power and have been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of such Parent Initial Stockholder.
(c) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Parent Initial Stockholder does not, and the performance by such Parent Initial Stockholder
of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, (i) conflict with or violate any Law applicable to such Parent Initial Stockholder,
(ii) result in the creation of any Lien on any of its Subject Parent Stock (other than under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the
Ancillary Agreements), (iii) if applicable, conflict with or result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under its
organizational documents, or (iv) require any consent, authorization or approval of, declaration, filing or registration with, or
notice to, any Person, in each case that has not been given or made as of the date hereof.
(d) There
are no Actions pending against such Parent Initial Stockholder or, to the knowledge of such Parent Initial Stockholder, threatened against
such Parent Initial Stockholder, before (or, in the case of threatened Actions, that would be before) any arbitrator or any Governmental
Authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Parent Initial Stockholder
of its obligations under this Agreement.
(e) This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Parent Initial Stockholder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery
by the other Parties, this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of such Parent Initial Stockholder, enforceable
against him, her or it in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy Laws, other
applicable, similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance
and other equitable remedies),

and with the shareholders of the Company receiving Pubco Ordinary Shares, and as a result of the Mergers, Parent and the Company will
become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company listed on Nasdaq, all upon the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the provisions of applicable law
B. Each
of the Shareholders is the record and beneficial owner of the number and type of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company
set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Shares”).
C. In
order to induce Parent and the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement and the Parent Initial Shareholders to enter into the Sponsor
Support Agreement, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises and the mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Company
Shareholder Consent and Related Matters. As promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) following
the time at which the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, each of the Shareholders shall (a) duly execute
and deliver to the Company, Pubco and Parent the Written Consent, which Written Consent shall constitute the Requisite Approval, pursuant
to which it shall irrevocably and unconditionally (i) adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Company Merger and the other Transactions
to which the Company is a party, (ii) approve, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Company Organizational
Documents, the Company Preferred Conversion to take effect immediately prior to the Closing and (iii) waive any appraisal or similar rights
they may have pursuant to Cayman Law with respect to the Company Merger and the other Transactions, and (b) vote (or cause to be
voted) all of such Shareholder’s Shares (together with any shares of the Company that such Shareholder acquires record or beneficial
ownership of or the power to vote after the date hereof, collectively, the “Subject Company Stock”) against, and withhold
consent with respect to, any other matter, action, agreement, transaction or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in (i) a
breach of any of the Company’s representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations under the Merger Agreement or (ii) any
of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 8.01 or 8.02 of the Merger Agreement not being satisfied; provided, that
in the case of clauses (a) and (b), the Merger Agreement shall not have been amended or modified without such Shareholder’s consent
(A) to decrease the Aggregate Company Merger Consideration payable under the Merger Agreement or (B) to change the form of the Aggregate
Company Merger Consideration, in each case in a manner adverse to such Shareholder. Each of the Shareholders acknowledges receipt and
review of a copy of the Merger Agreement.
2. Transfer
of Shares. Each Shareholder hereby agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer (including by
operation of law), place a lien on, pledge, hypothecate, grant an option to purchase, distribute, dispose of or otherwise encumber any
of its Subject Company Stock or otherwise enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking to do any of the foregoing
(each, a “Transfer”), (b) deposit any of its Subject Company Stock into a voting trust or enter into a voting
agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of its Subject Company Stock that conflicts with
any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or (c) take any action that would have the effect of preventing or
materially delaying the performance of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply
to any Transfer (i) to an Affiliate of such Shareholder, (ii) to another Shareholder that is a Party and bound by the terms
and obligations hereof or (iii) made in connection with the Company Merger or the other Transactions; provided, that any transferee
of any Transfer of the type set forth in clause (i) must enter into a joinder agreement agreeing to become a Party.
3. Other
Covenants and Agreements.
(a) [Reserved.]
(b) Each
of the Shareholders hereby agrees to be bound by and subject to (i) Section 7.04(b) (Confidentiality) and Section 7.11 (Public Announcements)
of the Merger Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the parties to the Merger Agreement and (ii) Section 6.03 (Claims
Against the Trust Account), Section 7.03 (Requisite Approval) and Section 7.05 (Non-Solicitation) of the Merger Agreement to the same
extent as such provisions apply to the Company, in each case, mutatis mutandis and as if such Shareholder was a party thereto.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) no Shareholder shall be responsible for the actions of the Company
or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) or any officers, directors (in their capacity as such), employees or professional advisors
of any of the foregoing (the “Company Related Parties”), including with respect to any of the matters contemplated
by this Section 3(b), (y) no Shareholder is making any representations or warranties with respect to the actions of any of
the Company Related Parties, and (z) any breach by the Company of its obligations under the Merger Agreement shall not be considered
a breach of this Section 3(b) (it being understood for the avoidance of doubt that each Shareholder shall remain responsible for
any breach by it of this Section 3(b)).
(c) Each
of the Shareholders acknowledges and agrees that Pubco, Parent, Parent Merger Sub and Company Merger Sub are entering into the Merger
Agreement and the Parent Initial Shareholders are entering into the A&R Sponsor Support Agreement in reliance upon the Shareholders
entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants
and obligations contained in this Agreement, and but for the Shareholders entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and
perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement, Parent and Parent
Merger Sub would not have entered into the Merger Agreement or agreed to consummate the Transactions and the Parent Initial Shareholders
would not have entered into the A&R Sponsor Support Agreement or agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.
4. Shareholder
Representations and Warranties. Each of the Shareholders, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to Parent and the Company
as follows:
(a) If

or organization.

execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such Shareholder’s
power and have been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of such Shareholder.

hereunder will not, (i) conflict with or violate any Law applicable to such Shareholder, (ii) result in the creation of any
Lien on any of its Subject Company Stock (other than under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements), (iii) if
applicable, conflict with or result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under its organizational documents, or (iv) require
any consent, authorization or approval of, declaration, filing or registration with, or notice to, any Person, in each case that has not
been given or made as of the date hereof.
(d) There
are no Actions pending against such Shareholder or, to the knowledge of such Shareholder, threatened against such Shareholder, before
(or, in the case of threatened Actions, that would be before) any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, which in any manner challenges
or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement.
(e) This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Shareholder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other
Parties, this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of such Shareholder, enforceable against him, her or it in
accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy Laws, other applicable, similar Laws
affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable
remedies).
(f) Such
Shareholder has not entered into, and shall not enter into, any agreement that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance
of his, her or its obligations hereunder.

Shareholder is the exclusive record and beneficial owner of, and has good and valid title to, all of the Shares set forth opposite such
Shareholder’s name on Schedule A hereto, and there exist no Liens, pledge, proxy, security interest, option, right of first
refusal, adverse claim of ownership or any other limitations or restrictions (including, without limitation, any restriction on the right
to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares), other than pursuant to (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Company Organizational
Documents, (iii) the Merger Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and (iv) any applicable securities Laws, and as of the date of this
Agreement, such Shareholder has the sole power (as currently in effect) to vote, and the right, power and authority to sell, transfer
and deliver, such Shares, and such Shareholder does not own, directly or indirectly, any other Shares.
5. Termination.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate, without any notice or other action by any Party, upon the earliest of (a) the Company
Merger Effective Time, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (c) the mutual written agreement

contrary in this Agreement, (i) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5(b) shall not affect any liability
on the part of any Party for a Willful Breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination or Fraud,
(ii) Sections 5 and 10 shall each survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5(a), and (iii) Sections

3(f).
(g) Interpretation.
The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this
Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding
masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii)
“including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means “including” without limiting the generality
of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”;

the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
(h) Notices.
All notices, consents, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
delivered (i) in person, (ii) by e-mail (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof), (iii) one (1) Business Day after being
sent, if sent by reputable, nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) three (3) Business Days after being mailed, if sent

to be bound thereby, respectively. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.
No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be
or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.
(j) Severability.
In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified
or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity,
legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other
provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision
a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision.
(k) Specific
Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique and recognizes and affirms that
in the event of a breach of this Agreement by such Party, money damages will be inadequate and the other Parties will have no adequate
remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed
by the other Parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties shall be entitled
to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other Parties and to enforce specifically the terms
and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate,
this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Parties may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

or any other Ancillary Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies or
obligations of the Parties under any other agreement between any of the Parties, or any certificate or instrument executed by any of the
Parties.
(m) Further
Assurances. From time to time, at another Party’s reasonable request and without further consideration (but at the requesting
Party’s reasonable cost and expense), each Party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action
as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(n) Counterparts;
Facsimile. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature or by email in portable document or other
electronic format in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.

Company Focusing on Cancer Prevention Diagnostics and Seeking to Transform the Treatment of a Wide Spectrum of Diseases
Pro Forma for the Transaction, Combined Company
is Expected to Have an Estimated Enterprise Value of Nearly $700 Million
The Proposed Merger is Expected to Close by
Early 2025; After Closing, the Combined Company is Expected to be Listed on Nasdaq Capital Market
YD Biopharma has Recently Obtained Patents,
Technology, and U.S. Authorization for Core Methylation Detection of Pancreatic Cancer, Along with Entering into an Agreement to Acquire
Licenses for Breast Cancer Detection Upon the Closing of the Merger
Irving, Texas, September 25, 2024 –
Breeze Holdings Acquisition Corp. (OTCQX: BRZH, BRZHR, BRZHW) (“Breeze” or the “Company”), a publicly traded special
purpose acquisition company, has entered into a definitive agreement to merge with YD Biopharma Limited (“YD Biopharma”),
a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on cancer prevention medical diagnostics and the development of exosome-based therapeutics
with the potential to transform the treatment of a wide spectrum of diseases with high unmet medical need. Following the closing, the
combined company is expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Using Technology to Detect Health Problems
Early On
YD Biopharma specializes in the biopharmaceutical
business and serves as a supplier of drugs and medical materials for clinical trials. In 2015, YD Biopharma was appointed as a clinical
testing drug supplier by Novartis and has since expanded its offerings to include development and supply of ancillary products post-launch.
YD Biopharma’s mission is to create a cancer-free world through advancements in biotechnology.
More recently, YD Biopharma obtained patent and
technology authorization from 3D Global Biotech Inc. (“3D Biotech”) to pioneer the application of corneal mesenchymal stem
cells and their exosomes for treating eye diseases. YD Biopharma has introduced new advanced drugs and treatments for conditions such
as dry eye disease, glaucoma, and corneal repair. YD Biopharma aims to optimize the treatment market for eye diseases by distribution
through pharmacies, optometrists, and other channels.
Earlier this year, YD Biopharma obtained patents,
technology and U.S. market authorization from EG Biomed Taiwan for core methylation detection of pancreatic cancer with high sensitivity,
specificity and accuracy. This partnership has led to the establishment of an independent laboratory in the U.S. dedicated to pancreatic
cancer early detection and monitoring technology that marks a significant expansion of YD Biopharma’s research and development capabilities
to collaborate with hospitals, insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies to reach new patients.
YD Biopharma has also recently negotiated related
authorizations for breast cancer detection to further expand the Company’s product offerings. YD Biopharma is in the process of
acquiring licenses from EG BioMed Taiwan for advanced breast cancer detection technology in the U.S., E.U., and Asia-Pacific that has
high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. The acquisition of the licenses for EG Biomed’s breast cancer detection technology in
the U.S., E.U., and Asia-Pacific is expected to be consummated simultaneously with the closing of the merger with Breeze.
Management Commentary
Dr. Ethan Shen, the Founder, Chairman and CEO
of YD Biopharma, has an extensive background in the pharmaceutical industry having worked at a well-known global pharmaceutical company.
Inspired by his father’s struggle with cancer and subsequent passing, Dr. Shen is dedicated to eradicating cancer and helping people
to avoid chronic and painful treatments through early detection.
Dr. Shen stated the following regarding the proposed
transaction, “I’m pleased to announce the next phase of our strategy as we embark on a public listing in the U.S. through
the proposed business combination with Breeze. Since our founding in 2013, we’ve made significant strides in expanding our capabilities
through organic innovation, licensing agreements, and notable strategic partnerships. We have a strategic roadmap in place for accelerated
growth and a compelling story to tell in the U.S. market as we aim to deliver health problem detection at an earlier stage than ever before
through minimal intervention.”
J. Douglas Ramsey, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of
Breeze, commented, “From day one, it has been our mission at Breeze to find a company with innovative and disruptive technology
that has the potential to deliver significant growth to our shareholders. We are highly optimistic about the proposed business combination
with YD Biopharma, a company that we believe is a true outlier in the biotech industry with strong growth potential in a variety of healthcare
markets. We are working closely with their team to expeditiously close the transaction by early 2025 and move forward with YD Biopharma
as a publicly traded company in the U.S.”

in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed transaction; (vi) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that

the ability to implement business plans, identify and realize additional opportunities and achieve forecasts and other expectations after
the completion of the proposed transaction; (xiv) the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive
