AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 26, 2010, by and among InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (f/k/a Design Source, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (the “Parent”), InVivo Therapeutics Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Acquisition Subsidiary”) and InVivo Therapeutics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Parent, the Acquisition Subsidiary and the Company are each a “Party” and referred to collectively herein as the “Parties.”

WHEREAS, this Agreement contemplates a merger of the Acquisition Subsidiary with and into the Company, with the Company remaining as the surviving entity after the merger (the “Merger”), whereby the stockholders of the Company will receive common stock of the Parent in exchange for their capital stock of the Company;

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the closing of the Merger, the Parent shall complete a private placement of 7,000,000 units of securities of the Parent, at the purchase price of $1.00 per unit (the “PPO Price”), with the right, at the placement agent’s and the Company’s discretion, to sell up to an additional 6,000,000 units (the “Private Placement Offering”), each unit consisting of one share of the Parent’s common stock and one five year warrant to purchase one share of Parent common stock at an exercise price of $1.40 per share;

WHEREAS, immediately following the Merger, the Parent intends to split-off its wholly owned subsidiary, DSource Split Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Split-Off Subsidiary”), through the sale of all of the outstanding capital stock of the Split-Off Subsidiary (the “Split-Off”) upon the terms and conditions of a split-off agreement by and among the Parent, Peter A. Reichard, Lawrence J. Reichard and Peter L. Coker (the “Buyers”), the Company and the Split-Off Subsidiary, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Split-Off Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Parent, the Acquisition Subsidiary, and the Company desire that the Merger qualifies as a “plan of reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and not subject the holders of equity securities of the Company to tax liability under the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Acquisition Subsidiary shall merge with and into the Company at the Effective Time (as defined below). From and after the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of the Acquisition Subsidiary shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). The “Effective Time” shall be the time at which the Certificate of Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) and other appropriate or required documents prepared and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “GCL”) are filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the GCL, including Sections 251, 259, 260 and 261 of the GCL.

1.2 Private Placement Offering. In conjunction with the closing of the Merger, Parent shall complete a private placement of 7,000,000 units of securities of the Parent, at a price of $1.00 per unit, with the right, at the placement agent’s and the Company’s discretion, to sell up to an additional 6,000,000 units. Each unit shall consist of one share of common stock of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) and one five year warrant to purchase one share of Parent Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.40 per share (the “Parent PPO Warrant”). The Parent PPO Warrant shall be callable by Parent if the bid price for the Parent’s Common Stock is 100% or more above the warrant exercise price for 20 consecutive trading days after effectiveness of Parent’s registration statement registering, among other securities of Parent, the resale of the shares of Parent Common Stock underlying the Parent PPO Warrants (the “Registration Statement”). The closing of the Merger and the Private Placement Offering will occur simultaneously and each will be a condition of the other. Parent and the Company have engaged a registered broker-dealer (the “Placement Agent”) to serve as the exclusive placement agent for the Private Placement Offering and be compensated in accordance with its standard terms for such services. The terms of the Placement Agent’s engagement as placement agent shall be set forth in a Placement Agent Agreement.

1.3 Registration Statement. The Registration Statement will be prepared on Form S-1 or such other available form and shall be used to register, to the extent practicable, resales of (i) the shares of Parent Common Stock constituting part of the units, (ii) the shares of Parent Common Stock underlying the Parent PPO Warrants constituting part of the units, and (iii) the shares of Parent Common Stock underlying the Parent Bridge Warrants (as defined in Section 1.4). The terms and conditions of such registration shall be set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement between Parent and the holders of registrable securities.

1.4 Bridge Loan. The Company has effected the Bridge Loan in the amount of $500,000 (the “Bridge Loan”), pursuant to which it issued convertible promissory notes of the Company (the “Bridge Notes”) and 36,310 common stock purchase warrants to investors. Upon the closing of the Merger (i) the Bridge Notes will automatically convert into Private Placement Offering units at a price of $1.00 per unit and (ii) the warrants accompanying the Bridge Notes shall automatically convert into warrants to acquire 500,000 shares of the Parent’s Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share (the “Parent Bridge Warrants”). The aggregate principal amount of the converted Bridge Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest due thereon at the time of conversion will be deemed part of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement Offering. The placement agent for the Bridge Loan received Company Warrants which shall automatically convert at the closing of the Merger into Parent Bridge Warrants to acquire 100,000 shares of the Parent’s Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share.

1.5 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Gottbetter & Partners, LLP in New York, New York commencing at 10:00 a.m. local time on the date hereof, or, if all of the conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby have not been satisfied or waived by such date, on such mutually agreeable later date as soon as practicable (and in any event not later than three (3) business days) after the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions (excluding the delivery of any documents to be delivered at the Closing by any of the Parties) set forth in Article V hereof (the “Closing Date”).

1.6 Actions at the Closing. At the Closing:

(a) the Company shall deliver to the Parent and the Acquisition Subsidiary the various certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 5.2;

(b) the Parent and the Acquisition Subsidiary shall deliver to the Company the various certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 5.3;

(d) each of the stockholders of record of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Stockholders”) shall, if requested by the Parent, deliver to the Parent the certificate(s) representing his, her or its shares of Company common stock (the “Company Shares”);

(e) the Parent agrees to promptly deliver certificates for the Merger Shares (as defined below) to each Company Stockholder in accordance with Section 1.8;

(f) the Parent shall deliver to the Company (i) evidence that the Parent’s board of directors is authorized to consist of five individuals, (ii) the resignations of all individuals who served as directors and/or officers of the Parent immediately prior to the Closing Date, which resignations shall be effective as of the Closing Date, (iii) evidence of the appointment of five directors to serve immediately following the Closing Date, four of whom shall have been designated by the Company and one of whom shall be designated by the Placement Agent immediately prior to the Closing Date, provided that such appointee is reasonably acceptable to the Company, and (v) evidence of the appointment of such executive officers of the Parent to serve immediately upon the Closing Date as shall have been designated by the Company; and

(g) the Private Placement Offering shall be completed and the proceeds therefrom distributed in accordance with the terms of the Private Placement Offering.

1.7 Additional Actions. If at any time after the Effective Time the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances or any other acts or things are necessary, desirable or proper (a) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation, its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of either the Company or Acquisition Subsidiary or (b) otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation and its proper officers and directors or their designees shall be authorized (to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law) to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Acquisition Subsidiary, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Acquisition Subsidiary, all such other acts and things necessary, desirable or proper to vest, perfect or confirm its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of the Company or Acquisition Subsidiary, as applicable, and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

1.8 Conversion of Company and Acquisition Subsidiary Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holder of any of the following securities:

(a) Each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than Dissenting Shares (as defined below) shall be converted into and represent the right to receive (subject to the provisions of Section 1.9) such number of shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, of the Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) as is equal to the Common Conversion Ratio (as defined in Section 1.8(b)). An aggregate of approximately 31,647,190 shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued to the stockholders of the Company. In addition, each Company stock option and common stock purchase warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and represent the right to receive such number of Parent stock options (the “Parent Options”) and Parent Bridge Warrants as is equal to the Common Conversion Ratio (as defined in Section 1.8(b) and a corresponding number of shares of Parent Common Stock shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Parent Options and Parent Bridge Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to the Company Stockholders upon conversion of their Company Shares, and the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of Parent Options and Parent Bridge Warrants may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.11(e).

(b) The “Common Conversion Ratio” shall be 13.7706-for-1. Stockholders of record of the Company as of the Closing Date shall be entitled to receive immediately all of the shares of Parent Common Stock into which their Company Shares were converted pursuant to this Section 1.8 (the “Merger Shares”).

(c) Each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Acquisition Subsidiary shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Surviving Corporation Common Stock.

1.9 Dissenting Shares.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Dissenting Shares” means Company Shares held as of the Effective Time by a Company Stockholder who has not voted such Company Shares in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the Merger and with respect to which appraisal shall have been duly demanded and perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the GCL and not effectively withdrawn or forfeited prior to the Effective Time. Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock unless such Company Stockholder’s right to appraisal shall have ceased in accordance with Section 262 of the GCL. If such Company Stockholder has so forfeited or withdrawn his, her or its right to appraisal of Dissenting Shares, then, (i) as of the occurrence of such event, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be Dissenting Shares and shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the Merger Shares issuable in respect of such Company Shares pursuant to Section 1.8, and (ii) promptly following the occurrence of such event, the Parent shall deliver to such Company Stockholder a certificate representing the Merger Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.8.

-4-

(b) The Company shall give the Parent prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Company Shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments that relate to such demands received by the Company. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of Company Shares or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

1.10 Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional Merger Shares shall be issued to Company Stockholders on the surrender for exchange of certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Company Shares converted into Merger Shares pursuant to Section 1.8 (“Certificates”) and such Company Stockholders shall not be entitled to any voting rights, rights to receive any dividends or distributions or other rights as a stockholder of the Parent with respect to any fractional Merger Shares that would have otherwise been issued to such Company Stockholders. In lieu of any fractional Merger Shares that would have otherwise been issued, each former Company Stockholder that would have been entitled to receive a fractional Merger Share shall, on proper surrender of such person’s Certificates, receive such whole number of Merger Shares as is equal to the precise number of Merger Shares to which such Company Stockholder would be entitled, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number (with a fractional interest equal to 0.5 rounded upward to the nearest whole number); provided that each such Company Stockholder shall receive at least one Merger Share.

1.11 Options and Warrants.

(a) As of the Effective Time, all stock options to purchase Company Shares issued by the Company, whether vested or unvested (the “Company Options”), shall automatically become Parent Options without further action by the holder thereof. Each Parent Option shall constitute an option to acquire such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as is equal to the number of Company Shares subject to the unexercised portion of the Company Option multiplied by the Common Conversion Ratio (with any fraction resulting from such multiplication to be rounded to the nearest whole number, and with 0.5 shares rounded upward to the nearest whole number). The exercise price per share of each Parent Option shall be equal to the exercise price of the Company Option divided by the Common Conversion Ratio and the terms of such Parent Options shall otherwise remain the same. The Parent Options shall be granted under the Company’s 2007 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan, as amended (the “2007 Plan”), which shall be adopted and assumed in writing by the Parent in connection with the Merger, and under the 2007 Plan’s terms, exercisability, vesting schedule, and status as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code, if applicable. It is the intention of the Parties that any Company Options intended to be “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code shall remain incentive stock options as Parent Options.

-5-

(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall take appropriate actions to collect the Company Options and the agreements evidencing the Company Options, which shall be deemed to be canceled and shall entitle the holder to exchange the Company Options for Parent Options.

(c) 5,915,615 shares of Parent Common Stock shall be reserved for issuance under the 2007 Plan being assumed by Parent at Closing, and shall be issued upon the exercise of the Parent Options in accordance with this Section 1.11. No additional Options shall at any time hereafter be granted under the 2007 Plan.

(d) Upon the Closing of the Merger, Parent Bridge Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 600,000 shares of Parent Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share will be granted to the holders of Company common stock purchase warrants (the “Company Warrants”). 600,000 shares of Parent Common Stock shall be reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Parent Bridge Warrants. As of the Effective Time, any and all outstanding Company Warrants to purchase capital stock of the Company, whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled.

(e) In the event that any issued and outstanding Company Options or Company Warrants are exercised prior to the Effective Time, the number of outstanding Company Shares shall be increased by the number of Company Shares issued upon exercise of Company Options and Company Warrants, and the number of outstanding Company Options and Company Warrants shall be reduced by the same number, as applicable. This will result in a decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Parent Options and Parent Bridge Warrants, and an increase in the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to Company Stockholders at the Effective Time. Accordingly, regardless of the exercise of any Company Warrants, the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to Company Stockholders, and, upon exercise, to the holders of Parent Options and Parent Warrants, in connection with the Merger (in accordance with Section 1.5 and this Section 1.11) shall remain constant.

1.12 [Intentionally Omitted].

1.13 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(a) The certificate of incorporation of the Company in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended or repealed.

(b) The bylaws of the Company in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until duly amended or repealed.

1.14 No Further Rights. From and after the Effective Time, no Company Shares shall be deemed to be outstanding, and holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except as provided herein or by law.

1.15 Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Shares shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Parent or the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for Merger Shares in accordance with Section 1.8, subject to applicable law in the case of Dissenting Shares.

-6-

1.16 Post-Closing Adjustment. In the event that, during the period commencing from the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Parent or the Surviving Corporation incurs any Loss (as defined below) with respect to, in connection with, or arising from any Parent Liabilities (as defined below), then promptly following the filing by the Parent with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of a quarterly report relating to the most recent completed quarter for which such determination has been made, the Parent shall issue to the Company Stockholders and/or their designees such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as would result from dividing (x) the whole dollar amount representing such Losses by (y) the PPO Price, rounded to the nearest whole number (with 0.5 shares rounded upwards to the nearest whole number). The limit on the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable under this Section 1.16 shall be 3,100,000 shares. As used in this Section 1.16: (a) “Loss” shall mean any and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, reasonable accountants’ fees, and damages and losses, net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Party suffering the Loss with respect thereto; (b) “Claims” shall include, but are not limited to, any claim, notice, suit, action, investigation, other proceedings (whether actual or threatened); and (c) “Parent Liabilities” shall mean all Claims against and liabilities, obligations or indebtedness of any nature whatsoever of Split-Off Subsidiary, whenever accruing, and of the Parent and the Acquisition Subsidiary, accruing on or before the Closing Date (whether primary, secondary, direct, indirect, liquidated, unliquidated or contingent, matured or unmatured), including, but not limited to (i) any litigation threatened, pending or for which a basis exists against the Parent or any Parent Subsidiary (as defined in this Agreement); (ii) any and all outstanding debts owed by the Parent or any Parent Subsidiary; (iii) any and all internal or employee related disputes, arbitrations or administrative proceedings threatened, pending or otherwise outstanding, (iv) any and all liens, foreclosures, settlements, or other threatened, pending or otherwise outstanding financial, legal or similar obligations of the Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, (v) any and all Taxes for which Parent or any of its direct or indirect assets may be liable or subject, for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any and all Taxes resulting from or attributable to Parent’s ownership or operation of the Split-Off Subsidiary assets, (vi) any and all Taxes for which Parent or its direct or indirect assets may be liable or subject (including, without limitation, the interests and assets of the Surviving Corporation and any Parent Subsidiary) as a consequence of Parent’s acquisition, formation, capitalization, ownership, and Split-Off of Split-Off Subsidiary, whether related to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or after the Closing Date, and (vii) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with effecting the adjustments contemplated by this Section 1.16, as such Parent Liabilities are determined by the Parent’s independent auditors, on a quarterly basis. Any shares of Parent Common Stock that are issued under this Section 1.16 shall be issued to the Company Stockholders pro rata according to their respective holdings of the Merger Shares.

1.17 Exemption From Registration. Parent and the Company intend that the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof or upon exercise of Parent Options and Parent Warrants granted pursuant to Section 1.11 hereof or upon the provisions of Section 1.16 hereof in each case in connection with the Merger will be issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC thereunder (“Regulation D”) and/or Regulation S promulgated by the SEC (“Regulation S”) and that, except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 1.17 hereof, all recipients of such shares of Parent Common Stock shall either be “accredited investors” or not “U.S. Persons” as such terms are defined under Regulation D and Regulation S, respectively.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company represents and warrants to the Parent that the statements contained in this Article II are true and correct, except as set forth in the disclosure schedule provided by the Company to the Parent on the date hereof and accepted in writing by the Parent (the “Disclosure Schedule”). The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the numbered and lettered paragraphs contained in this Article II, and except to the extent that it is clear from the context thereof that such disclosure also applies to any other paragraph, the disclosures in any paragraph of the Disclosure Schedule shall qualify only the corresponding paragraph in this Article II. For purposes of this Article II, the phrase “to the knowledge of the Company” or any phrase of similar import shall be deemed to refer to the actual knowledge of the executive officers of the Company, as well as any other knowledge which such executive officers would have possessed had they made reasonable inquiry with respect to the matter in question.

2.1 Organization, Qualification and Corporate Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in corporate and tax good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is duly qualified to conduct business and is in corporate and tax good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of its businesses or the ownership or leasing of its properties requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on the businesses in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it. The Company has furnished or made available to the Parent complete and accurate copies of its certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The Company is not in default under or in violation of any provision of its certificate of incorporation, as amended to date, or its bylaws, as amended to date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on the assets, business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or future prospects of the Company taken as a whole.

2.2 Capitalization.

The Company shall prepare, with the cooperation of the Parent, information to be sent to the holders of Company Shares in connection with receiving their approval of the Merger, this Agreement and related transactions. Such information shall constitute a disclosure of the offer and issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by the Company Stockholders in the Merger. The Parent and the Company shall each use Reasonable Best Efforts to cause information provided to such holders to comply with applicable federal and state securities and business corporation law requirements. Each of the Parent and the Company agrees to provide promptly to the other such information concerning its business and financial statements and affairs as, in the reasonable judgment of the providing party or its counsel, may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the information sent, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, and to cause its counsel and auditors to cooperate with the other’s counsel and auditors in the preparation of the information to be sent to the holders of Company Shares. The Company will promptly advise the Parent, and the Parent will promptly advise the Company, in writing if at any time prior to the Effective Time either the Company or the Parent shall obtain knowledge of any facts that might make it necessary or appropriate to amend or supplement the information sent in order to make the statements contained or incorporated by reference therein not misleading or to comply with applicable law. The information sent shall contain the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company that the holders of Company Shares approve the Merger and this Agreement and the conclusion of the Board of Directors of the Company that the terms and conditions of the Merger are advisable and fair and reasonable to the such holders. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the Company shall not include in the information sent to such holders any information with respect to the Parent or its affiliates or associates, the form and content of which information shall not have been approved by the Parent prior to such inclusion.

4.14 No Shorting. The Parent and the Company shall use their Reasonable Best Efforts to ensure that each officer and director of Parent and each Stockholder of Parent beneficially owning 5% or more of the Parent Common Stock after giving effect to the Merger, Split-Off and Private Placement Offering, agrees that it will not, for a period commencing on the date hereof and terminating one year after the Effective Time, directly or indirectly, effect or agree to effect any short sale (as defined in Rule 200 under Regulation SHO of the Exchange Act), whether or not against the box, establish any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) with respect to the Parent Common Stock, borrow or pre-borrow any shares of Parent Common Stock, or grant any other right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Parent Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from the Parent Common Stock or otherwise seek to hedge its position in the Parent Common Stock (each, a “Prohibited Transaction”).

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

6.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify the Parent in respect of, and hold it harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the Parent resulting from, relating to or constituting any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement or the Company Certificate.

6.2 Indemnification by the Parent. The Parent shall indemnify the Company in respect of, and hold it harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the Company resulting from, relating to or constituting any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of the Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary contained in this Agreement or the Parent Certificate.

6.3 Indemnification Claims by the Parties.

(a) In the event that a Party is entitled, or seeks to assert rights, to indemnification under this Article VI, the Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall give written notification to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnitor”) of the commencement of any suit or proceeding relating to a third party claim for which indemnification pursuant to this Article VI may be sought. Such notification shall be given within 20 business days after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of such suit or proceeding, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnitee) the facts constituting the basis for such suit or proceeding and the amount of the claimed damages; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying the Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any damage or liability caused by or arising out of such failure. Within 20 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnitor may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnitee, assume control of the defense of such suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided that the Indemnitor may not assume control of the defense of a suit or proceeding involving criminal liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor does not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnitee shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense (the “Non-Controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnitor assumes control of such defense and the Indemnitee reasonably concludes that the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such suit or proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee shall be considered “Damages” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such suit or proceeding (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such suit or proceeding. The Indemnitor shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the consent of the Indemnitee shall not be required if the Indemnitor agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment and such settlement or judgment includes a complete release of the Indemnitee from further liability and has no other materially adverse effect on the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

-32-

(b) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VI, Indemnitee shall give written notification (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnitor which contains (i) a description and the amount (the “Claimed Amount”) of any Damages incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Indemnitee, (ii) a statement that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI for such Damages and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment (in the manner provided in paragraph (c) below) in the amount of such Claimed Amount.

(c) Within 20 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnitor shall deliver to the Indemnitee a written response (the “Response”) in which Indemnitor shall: (i) agree that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount, (ii) agree that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”), or (iii) dispute that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Indemnitor in the Response disputes its liability for all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 6.3(d) for the resolution of such dispute (a “Dispute”).

(d) During the 60-day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such 60-day period, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall discuss in good faith the submission of the Dispute to a mutually acceptable alternative dispute resolution procedure (which may be non-binding or binding upon the parties, as they agree in advance) (the “ADR Procedure”). In the event the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee agree upon an ADR Procedure, such parties shall, in consultation with the chosen dispute resolution service (the “ADR Service”), promptly agree upon a format and timetable for the ADR Procedure, agree upon the rules applicable to the ADR Procedure, and promptly undertake the ADR Procedure. The provisions of this Section 6.3(d) shall not obligate the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee to pursue an ADR Procedure or prevent either such party from pursuing the Dispute in a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee agree to pursue an ADR Procedure, neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnitee may commence litigation or seek other remedies with respect to the Dispute prior to the completion of such ADR Procedure. Any ADR Procedure undertaken by the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall be considered a compromise negotiation for purposes of federal and state rules of evidence, and all statements, offers, opinions and disclosures (whether written or oral) made in the course of the ADR Procedure by or on behalf of the Indemnitor, or any of the Indemnifying Stockholders, the Indemnitee or the ADR Service shall be treated as confidential and, where appropriate, as privileged work product. Such statements, offers, opinions and disclosures shall not be discoverable or admissible for any purposes in any litigation or other proceeding relating to the Dispute (provided that this sentence shall not be construed to exclude from discovery or admission any matter that is otherwise discoverable or admissible). The fees and expenses of any ADR Service used by the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall be considered Damages.

(e) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.3, if a third party asserts (other than by means of a lawsuit) that the Indemnitee is liable to such third party for a monetary or other obligation which may constitute or result in Damages for which such Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI, and the Indemnitee reasonably determines in good faith that it has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) Indemnitee shall be entitled to satisfy such obligation, with prior notice to but without prior consent from the Indemnitor, (ii) Indemnitee may subsequently make a claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, and (iii) Indemnitee shall be reimbursed, in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, for any such Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (subject to the right of the Indemnitor to dispute the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, or the amount for which it is entitled to indemnification, under the terms of this Article VI).

6.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Company Certificate or the Parent Certificate shall (a) survive the Closing and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of Parent or the Company and (b) shall expire on the date two years following the Closing Date. If Parent delivers to an Indemnifying Stockholders, before expiration of a representation or warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of such representation or warranty, or a notice that, as a result a legal proceeding instituted by or written claim made by a third party, the Parent reasonably expects to incur Damages as a result of a breach of such representation or warranty (an “Expected Claim Notice”), then such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for purposes of, the resolution of the matter covered by such Expected Claim Notice. If the legal proceeding or written claim with respect to which an Expected Claim Notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Parent, the Parent shall promptly so notify the Indemnifying Stockholders; and if the Parent has delivered a copy of the Expected Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent and Escrow Shares have been retained in escrow after the Termination Date (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) with respect to such Expected Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Stockholders and the Parent shall promptly deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute such retained Escrow Shares to the Indemnifying Stockholders in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

-33-

6.5 Limitations on Claims for Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Party shall be entitled to recover, or be indemnified for, Damages arising out of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty set forth in Article II unless and until the aggregate of all such Damages paid or payable by the Indemnitor collectively exceeds $50,000 (the “Damages Threshold”) and then, if such aggregate threshold is reached, the Indemnitee shall only be entitled to recover for Damages in excess of such respective threshold; and in no event shall any Indemnitor be liable under this Article VI for an aggregate amount in excess of $250,000.

IV. BUYERS’ REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Buyers represent and warrant that:

4.1 Capacity and Enforceability. Buyers have the legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the documents to be executed and delivered by Buyers at the Closing pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement and all such documents constitute valid and binding agreements of Buyers, enforceable in accordance with their terms.

4.2 Compliance. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Buyers will result in the breach of any term or provision of, or constitute a default under, or violate any agreement, indenture, instrument, order, law or regulation to which Buyers are a party or by which Buyers are bound.

-4-

4.3 Purchase for Investment. Buyers are financially able to bear the economic risks of acquiring the Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and have no need for liquidity in their investment in the Shares. Buyers have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters in general, and with respect to businesses of a nature similar to the business of Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment), so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of, and making an informed business decision with regard to, the acquisition of the Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Buyers are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Buyers are acquiring the Shares solely for their own account and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution or public offering thereof, within the meaning of any applicable securities laws and regulations, unless such distribution or offering is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption from such registration is available. Buyers have (i) received all the information they have deemed necessary to make an informed decision with respect to the acquisition of the Shares and the other transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) had an opportunity to make such investigation as they have desired pertaining to Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment) and the acquisition of an interest therein and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and to verify the information which is, and has been, made available to them; and (iii) had the opportunity to ask questions of Seller concerning Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment). Buyers acknowledge that due to their affiliation with Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary that they have actual knowledge of the business, operations and financial affairs of Split-Off Subsidiary (after giving effect to the Assignment). Buyers have received no public solicitation or advertisement with respect to the offer or sale of the Shares. Buyers realize that the Shares are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, the resale of the Shares is restricted by federal and state securities laws and, accordingly, the Shares must be held indefinitely unless their resale is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available for their resale. Buyers understand that any resale of the Shares by them must be registered under the Securities Act (and any applicable state securities law) or be effected in circumstances that, in the opinion of counsel for Split-Off Subsidiary at the time, create an exemption or otherwise do not require registration under the Securities Act (or applicable state securities laws). Buyers acknowledge and consent that certificates now or hereafter issued for the Shares will bear a legend substantially as follows:

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS (THE “STATE ACTS”), HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER THE STATE ACTS OR PURSUANT TO EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING, IN THE CASE OF THE SECURITIES ACT, THE EXEMPTIONS AFFORDED BY SECTION 4(1) OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND RULE 144 THEREUNDER). AS A PRECONDITION TO ANY SUCH TRANSFER, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES SHALL BE FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OPINING AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION AND QUALIFICATION AND/OR SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE SATISFACTORY THERETO THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT VIOLATE THE SECURITIES LAWS.

-5-

Buyers understand that the Shares are being sold to them pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(1) of the Securities Act and that Seller is relying upon the representations made herein as one of the bases for claiming the Section 4(1) exemption.

4.4 Liabilities. Following the Closing, Seller will have no liability for any debts, liabilities or obligations of Split-Off Subsidiary or its business or activities, and there are no outstanding guaranties, performance or payment bonds, letters of credit or other contingent contractual obligations that have been undertaken by Seller directly or indirectly in relation to Split-Off Subsidiary or its business and that may survive the Closing.

4.5 Title to Purchase Price Securities. Buyers are the sole record and beneficial owner of their respective Purchase Price Securities. At Closing, Buyers will have good and marketable title to their respective Purchase Price Securities, which Purchase Price Securities are, and at the Closing will be, free and clear of all options, warrants, pledges, claims, liens and encumbrances, and any restrictions or limitations prohibiting or restricting transfer to Seller, except for restrictions on transfer as contemplated by applicable securities laws.

V. SELLER’S AND SUBSIDIARY’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to Buyers that:

5.1 Organization and Good Standing. Each of Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of their respective states of incorporation.

5.2 Authority and Enforceability. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the documents to be executed and delivered at the Closing pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby, and performance in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, have been duly authorized by Seller and all such documents constitute valid and binding agreements of Seller enforceable in accordance with their terms.

5.3 Title to Shares. Seller is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Shares. At Closing, Seller will have good and marketable title to the Shares, which Shares are, and at the Closing will be, free and clear of all options, warrants, pledges, claims, liens and encumbrances, and any restrictions or limitations prohibiting or restricting transfer to Buyers, except for restrictions on transfer as contemplated by Section 4.3 above. The Shares constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Split-Off Subsidiary.

5.4 WARN Act. Split-Off Subsidiary does not have a sufficient number of employees to make it subject to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.

5.5 Representations in Merger Agreement. Split-Off Subsidiary represents and warrants that all of the representations and warranties by Seller, insofar as they relate to Split-Off Subsidiary, contained in the Merger Agreement are true and correct.

(e) Seller, Buyers, Split-Off Subsidiary and their respective employees and agents shall each hold in strict confidence all Information concerning the other party in their possession or furnished by the other or the other’s representative pursuant to this Agreement with the same degree of care as such party utilizes as to such party’s own confidential information (except to the extent that such Information is (i) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (ii) later lawfully acquired from any other source by such party), and each party shall not release or disclose such Information to any other person, except such party’s auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers, other consultants and advisors or persons with whom such party has a valid obligation to disclose such Information, unless compelled to disclose such Information by judicial or administrative process or, as advised by its counsel, by other requirements of law.

Buyers shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties (as defined in Section 12.1 below) against any Losses (as defined in Section 12.1 below) incurred by such Seller Indemnified Parties by virtue of the failure to make and/or obtain any such filings or consents. Recognizing that the failure to make and/or obtain any filings or consents may cause Seller to incur Losses or otherwise adversely affect Seller, Buyers and Split-Off Subsidiary confirm that the provisions of this Section 10.6 will not limit Seller’s right to treat such failure as the failure of a condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to close pursuant to Article VIII above.

-10-

10.7 Insurance. Buyers acknowledge that on the Closing Date, effective as of the Closing, any insurance coverage and bonds provided by Seller for Split-Off Subsidiary, and all certificates of insurance evidencing that Split-Off Subsidiary maintains any required insurance by virtue of insurance provided by Seller, will terminate with respect to any insured damages resulting from matters occurring subsequent to Closing.

10.8 Agreements Regarding Taxes.

(a) Tax Sharing Agreements. Any tax sharing agreement between Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary is terminated as of the Closing Date and will have no further effect for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year or a past year).

(b) Returns for Periods Through the Closing Date. Seller will include the income and loss of Split-Off Subsidiary (including any deferred income triggered into income by Reg. §1.1502-13 and any excess loss accounts taken into income under Reg. §1.1502-19) on Seller’s consolidated federal income tax returns for all periods through the Closing Date and pay any federal income taxes attributable to such income. Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary agree to allocate income, gain, loss, deductions and credits between the period up to Closing (the “Pre-Closing Period”) and the period after Closing (the “Post-Closing Period”) based on a closing of the books of Split-Off Subsidiary, and both Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary agree not to make an election under Reg. §1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii) to ratably allocate the year’s items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit. Seller, Split-Off Subsidiary and Buyers agree to report all transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after Buyers’ purchase of the Shares on Split-Off Subsidiary’s tax returns to the extent permitted by Reg. §1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B). Buyers agrees to indemnify Seller for any additional tax owed by Seller (including tax owned by Seller due to this indemnification payment) resulting from any transaction engaged in by Split-Off Subsidiary during the Pre-Closing Period or on the Closing Date after Buyers’ purchase of the Shares. Split-Off Subsidiary will furnish tax information to Seller for inclusion in Seller’s consolidated federal income tax return for the period which includes the Closing Date in accordance with Split-Off Subsidiary’s past custom and practice.

-11-

(c) Audits. Seller will allow Split-Off Subsidiary and its counsel to participate at Split-Off Subsidiary’s expense in any audits of Seller’s consolidated federal income tax returns to the extent that such audit raises issues that relate to and increase the tax liability of Split-Off Subsidiary. Seller shall have the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to engage professionals and direct the representation of Seller in connection with any such audit and the resolution thereof, without receiving the consent of Buyers or Split-Off Subsidiary or any other party acting on behalf of Buyers or Split-Off Subsidiary, provided that Seller will not settle any such audit in a manner which would materially adversely affect Split-Off Subsidiary after the Closing Date unless such settlement would be reasonable in the case of a person that owned Split-Off Subsidiary both before and after the Closing Date. In the event that after Closing any tax authority informs Buyers or Split-Off Subsidiary of any notice of proposed audit, claim, assessment or other dispute concerning an amount of taxes which pertain to Seller, or to Split-Off Subsidiary during the period prior to Closing, Buyers or Split-Off Subsidiary must promptly notify Seller of the same within 15 calendar days of the date of the notice from the tax authority. In the event Buyers or Split-Off Subsidiary does not notify Seller within such 15 day period, Buyers and Split-Off Subsidiary, jointly and severally, will indemnify Seller for any incremental interest, penalty or other assessments resulting from the delay in giving notice. To the extent of any conflict or inconsistency, the provisions of this Section 10.8 shall control over the provisions of Section 12.2 below.

(d) Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyers, Seller and Split-Off Subsidiary shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any party, in connection with the filing of tax returns pursuant to this Section and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Split-Off Subsidiary shall (i) retain all books and records with respect to tax matters pertinent to Split-Off Subsidiary relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) give Seller reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Seller so requests, Buyers agree to cause Split-Off Subsidiary to allow Seller to take possession of such books and records.

10.9 ERISA. Effective as of the Closing Date, Split-Off Subsidiary shall terminate its participation in, and withdraw from, any employee benefit plans sponsored by Seller, and Seller and Buyers shall cooperate fully in such termination and withdrawal. Without limitation, Split-Off Subsidiary shall be solely responsible for (i) all liabilities under those employee benefit plans notwithstanding any status as an employee benefit plan sponsored by Seller, and (ii) all liabilities for the payment of vacation pay, severance benefits, and similar obligations, including, without limitation, amounts which are accrued but unpaid as of the Closing Date with respect thereto. Buyers and Split-Off Subsidiary acknowledge that Split-Off Subsidiary is solely responsible for providing continuation health coverage, as required under the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), to each person, if any, participating in an employee benefit plan subject to COBRA with respect to such employee benefit plan as of the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any person whose employment with Split-Off Subsidiary is terminated after the Closing Date.

-12-

XI. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated at, or at any time prior to, the Closing by mutual written consent of Seller, Buyers and InVivo.

If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, it shall become wholly void and of no further force and effect and there shall be no further liability or obligation on the part of any party except to pay such expenses as are required of such party.

XII. INDEMNIFICATION.

12.1 Indemnification by Buyers. Buyers covenant and agree to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Seller and InVivo, and their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, representatives and Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) at all times from and after the date of this Agreement from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, costs and expenses (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation), whether or not involving a third party claim and regardless of any negligence of any Seller Indemnified Party (collectively, “Losses”), incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party as a result of or arising from (i) any breach of the representations and warranties of Buyers set forth herein or in certificates delivered in connection herewith, (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement (including any other agreement of Buyers to indemnify set forth in this Agreement) on the part of Buyers under this Agreement, (iii) any Assigned Asset or Assigned Liability or any other debt, liability or obligation of Split-Off Subsidiary, (iv) the conduct and operations, whether before or after Closing, of (A) the business of Seller pertaining to the Assigned Assets and Assigned Liabilities or (B) the business of Split-Off Subsidiary, (v) claims asserted, whether before or after Closing, (A) against Split-Off Subsidiary or (B) pertaining to the Assigned Assets and Assigned Liabilities, or (vi) any federal or state income tax payable by Seller or InVivo and attributable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The obligations of Buyers under this Section, as between Buyers and the Seller Indemnified Parties, are joint and several.

12.2 Third Party Claims.

(a) Defense. If any claim or liability (a “Third-Party Claim”) should be asserted against any of the Seller Indemnified Parties (the “Indemnitee”) by a third party after the Closing for which Buyers have an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 12.1, then the Indemnitee shall notify Buyers (the “Indemnitors”) within 20 days after the Third-Party Claim is asserted by a third party (said notification being referred to as a “Claim Notice”) and give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to take part in any examination of the books and records of the Indemnitee relating to such Third-Party Claim and to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim and in connection therewith and to conduct any proceedings or negotiations relating thereto and necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnitee and/or settle the Third-Party Claim. The expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of all negotiations, proceedings, contests, lawsuits or settlements with respect to any Third-Party Claim shall be borne by the Indemnitors. If the Indemnitors agree to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, through counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, then the Indemnitors shall be entitled to control the conduct of such defense, and any decision to settle such Third-Party Claim, and shall be responsible for any expenses of the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim so long as the Indemnitors continue such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitors shall be responsible for paying all settlements made or judgments entered with respect to any Third-Party Claim the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnitors. Except as provided on subsection (b) below, both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee must approve any settlement of a Third-Party Claim. A failure by the Indemnitee to timely give the Claim Notice shall not excuse Indemnitor from any indemnification liability except only to the extent that the Indemnitors are materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.

-13-

(b) Failure to Defend. If the Indemnitors shall not agree to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim in writing within 20 days after the Claim Notice of such Third-Party Claim has been delivered, or shall fail to continue such defense until the final resolution of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnitee may defend against such Third-Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnitee may settle such Third-Party Claim, in its sole discretion, on such terms as it may deem appropriate. The Indemnitors shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitee for the amount of all settlement payments and expenses, legal and otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim. If no settlement of such Third-Party Claim is made, then the Indemnitors shall satisfy any judgment rendered with respect to such Third-Party Claim before the Indemnitee is required to do so, and pay all expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnitee in the defense against such Third-Party Claim.

12.3 Non-Third-Party Claims. Upon discovery of any claim for which Buyers has an indemnification obligation under the terms of Section 12.1 which does not involve a claim by a third party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to Buyers of such claim and, in any case, shall give Buyers such notice within 30 days of such discovery. A failure by Indemnitee to timely give the foregoing notice to Buyers shall not excuse Buyers from any indemnification liability except to the extent that Buyers is materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure.

12.4 Survival. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12.4, all representations and warranties made by Buyers, Split-Off Subsidiary and Seller in connection with this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the liability of all Indemnitors under this Article XII shall terminate on the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, except with respect to (a) liability for any item as to which, prior to the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, any Indemnitee shall have asserted a Claim in writing, which Claim shall identify its basis with reasonable specificity, in which case the liability for such Claim shall continue until it shall have been finally settled, decided or adjudicated, (b) liability of any party for Losses for which such party has an indemnification obligation, incurred as a result of such party’s breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by such party after the Closing, (c) liability of Buyers for Losses incurred by a Seller Indemnified Party due to breaches of their representations and warranties in Article IV of this Agreement, and (d) liability of Buyers for Losses arising out of Third-Party Claims for which Buyers have an indemnification obligation, which liability shall survive until the statute of limitation applicable to any third party’s right to assert a Third-Party Claim bars assertion of such claim.

The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which that party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.

Re: Opinion Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel for InVivo Therapeutics Corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the (i) Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated October 26, 2010, by and among the Company, InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp.

We have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents and records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have

October 26, 2010

Page 3

conducted such other investigations of fact and law as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of rendering this opinion. As to various questions of fact, we have relied upon a certificate of the Company, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A, and made a part hereof (the “Certificate”).

For purposes of this opinion letter, we have assumed, without independent investigation, (i) the genuineness of all signatures (other than the Company), (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iii) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, and (iv) the correctness and accuracy of all facts, representations and warranties, set forth in all the Transaction Documents and certificates and reports delivered pursuant thereto and the binding effect of the Transaction Documents with respect to the parties thereto other than the Company, (v) that value has been given for the obligations incurred by the Company, and (vi) that the parties thereto other than the Company are bound by the Transaction Documents. The opinions hereinafter expressed are also subject to the foregoing and qualifications and conditions set forth hereafter.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications, limitations, exceptions and assumption set forth herein, we are of the following opinion:

1. Based solely upon our review of the Company Organizational Documents, the Company is duly organized as a corporation and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware as of the date of the Delaware Certificate. Based solely upon our review of the Company Organizational Documents, the Company is qualified to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as of the date set forth in the Massachusetts Certificate.

2. Based solely upon our review of the Certificate of Incorporation, the authorized capital stock of the Company on the date hereof consists of (i) 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, and (ii) 510 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share. Based solely upon the Certificate, upon the closing of the Offering, assuming full conversion of all of the Company’s outstanding convertible promissory notes (“Convertible Notes”) (exclusive of the $500,000 principal amount of convertible promissory notes issued in the Bridge Note Offering) in accordance with their terms, immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, 2,297,884 shares of the Company’s common stock and no shares of the Company’s preferred stock will be issued and outstanding.

3. Except as set forth in the Transaction Documents or the Memorandum and except for the Company’s 2007 Stock Option Plan, to our actual knowledge, based solely on the Certificate there are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, rights agreements or commitments to which the Company is a party or which are binding upon the Company providing for the issuance or redemption of any of its respective capital stock.

October 26, 2010

4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and have been duly executed and delivered by the Company. Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

5. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby will not: (i) violate the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law or any United States federal or state law, rule or regulation known to us to be currently applicable to the Company; (ii) violate the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws; (iii) to our actual knowledge, violate any judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company; or (iv) to our actual knowledge, result in the breach or termination of any material term or provision of an agreement to which the Company is a party, except in any such case where the breach or violation would not have a material adverse effect upon the business (as currently conducted), financial condition, prospects or results of operation of the Company or its ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.

6. No consent, approval or authorization of, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any United States federal or state governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereunder, except for (A) the notices and filings required by state and federal securities laws, (B) the Certificate of Merger to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, (C) any filings relating to public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (D) any required consent, approval, authorization, action or filing that has been obtained, performed or made by the Company, or (E) the provision following the Effective Date to those stockholders of the Company who did not consent to the Merger of the notice required by Section 262(d)(2) of the Delaware General Corporate Law.

Our opinions are also further subject to and limited by the following qualifications:

A. We express no opinion to the extent that the validity or enforceability of any provision of the Transaction Documents may be subject to or affected by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, arrangement or assignment for the benefit of creditors, fraudulent transfer or conveyance, or similar state or federal laws and judicially developed doctrines relevant to any such laws, affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, (ii) general principles of equity (including, without limitation, the remedies

October 26, 2010

Page 5

of specific performance and injunctive relief) and public policy considerations (including, without limitation, principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing) whether applied in proceedings in equity or at law, (iii) the discretion of the court or body before which any proceeding therefore may be brought, and (iv) the order of any court or body or any contractual relationship of which we have no knowledge.

B. We have assumed (without making independent investigation thereof) the due and proper execution of the Transaction Documents by all parties (other than the Company).

C. We have assumed that Pubco, Spencer Trask and any other party to the Transaction Documents (other than the Company) has legal existence, all requisite power and authority and has taken all necessary action for the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the other documents to which any person or entity is a party and to effect the transaction contemplated thereby and perform its respective obligations thereunder and with respect to all such persons (other than the Company) that such obligations are the legal valid and binding obligations of each such person, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms. We have assumed that each party to the Transaction Documents (other than the Company) has complied with all legal requirements pertaining to its status as such status relates to its rights to enforce any of such documents to which it is a party. We have further assumed the full legal capacity of all individuals in connection with the execution, delivery of and performance under the Transaction Documents and the documents and transactions contemplated thereby, it being understood that we have no knowledge (having made no investigation thereof) that any signatory lacks such legal capacity.

D. In rendering this opinion letter we are acting solely in our capacity as special counsel to the Company in connection with the Merger and the Offering. Any reference to “our knowledge”, “knowledge”, “actual knowledge” or to any matters “known to us”, “our understanding,” “coming to our attention” or “of which we are aware” or any variation of any of the foregoing, shall mean the actual knowledge of those attorneys who are presently employees or partners of this firm who have rendered legal services to the Company in connection with the representation described in the introductory paragraph of this opinion letter. We have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of any facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company in connection with these transactions. Moreover, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we have not searched any computerized or electronic data bases or the dockets or records of any court, regulatory body or governmental authority or agency or other filing office in any jurisdiction or made any special or independent investigation or review of any judgments, decrees, franchises, certificates, permits or the like, and have made no independent search of the records of any judicial authority or governmental

October 26, 2010

Page 6

agency affecting the parties to whom (or which) we are counsel. In addition, we have made no independent examination or investigation to verify the accuracy or completeness of any financial, accounting or other information furnished to any party or with respect to any other accounting or financial matters or provisions involving computations and express no opinion with respect thereto.

E. Our opinions hereinafter expressed are limited solely to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the laws of the State of New York, and the federal laws of the United States of America, and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction or the effect on the matters covered by the opinions contained herein of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

F. We have assumed that either (i) no consent, approval or authorization of, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any United States federal or state governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereunder, except for (A) the notices and filings required by state and federal securities laws, (B) the Certificate of Merger to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, and (C) any filings relating to public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or (ii) any required consent, approval, authorization, action or filing has been obtained, performed or made by the Company.

G. We have assumed that there are no other agreements or understandings among the parties to any of the Transaction Documents or other documents contemplated thereby, written or oral, and there is no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties thereto that would, in either case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of any such documents, except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents.

H. No opinion is expressed as to the applicability of any federal, state, local or foreign tax or laws or regulations to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or the characterization or effectiveness of any such agreements or provisions thereof for tax purposes, or the applicability of, compliance with or waiver of any tax laws or filings.

I. No opinion is expressed as to the applicability of any federal, state, local or foreign securities laws or regulations to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or the characterization or effectiveness of any such agreements or provisions thereof for securities purposes, except with regard to the opinion expressed in paragraph 6 above.

J. We render no opinion with respect to (i) the compliance with or impact of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56 (as amended) on the transactions

Warrants, Parent Bridge Warrants, Registration Rights Agreement, Split-Off Agreement, General Release Agreement, and the Subscription Agreements, are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Transaction Documents”).

In our examination of the documents described above, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of the Parent, Acquisition Subsidiary and Split-Off Subsidiary), the legal capacity of all individual signatories, the completeness of all corporate records provided to us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

In rendering this opinion, we have relied, as to all questions of fact material to this opinion, upon certificates of public officials and the Officer’s Certificate. We have not attempted to verify independently such facts, although nothing has come to our attention which would lead us to question the accuracy of such certificates or representations and warranties. We have also assumed, without independent investigation, that no addressee of this opinion letter has any actual knowledge that any of our factual assumptions or opinions is inaccurate.

Any reference herein to “our knowledge,” or to any matter “known to us,” “coming to our attention” or “of which we are aware,” or any variation of any of the foregoing shall mean the conscious awareness of the attorneys in this firm who have rendered substantive attention to the Transactions of the existence or absence of any facts which would contradict our opinions set forth below. We have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Parent and the Acquisition Subsidiary. Without limiting the foregoing, we have not conducted a search of any electronic databases or the dockets of any court, administrative or regulatory body, agency or other filing office in any jurisdiction.

Our opinions set forth below are qualified to the extent that they may be subject to or affected by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, (ii) statutory or decisional law concerning recourse by creditors to security in the absence of notice or hearing, and (iii) duties and standards imposed on creditors and parties to contracts, including, without limitation, requirements of good faith, reasonableness and fair dealing. Furthermore, we express no opinion as to the availability of any equitable or specific remedy upon any breach of any of the agreements as to which we are opining herein, or any of the agreements, documents or obligations referred to therein, or to the successful assertion of any equitable defenses, inasmuch as the availability of such remedies or the success of any equitable defense may be subject to the discretion of a court.

Our opinions expressed, insofar as they relate to the due organization, valid existence and good standing of the Parent and Acquisition Subsidiary, are based solely on the State Certificates, and are limited accordingly, and, as to such matters, our opinions are rendered as of the respective dates of such certificates. We express no opinion as to the tax good standing of the Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary in any jurisdiction.

We are expressing no opinion herein with respect to compliance by the Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary with state or provincial securities or “blue sky” laws, or with any state, provincial or federal securities antifraud laws.

We are opining herein solely as to the state laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America. To the extent that any other laws govern any of the matters as to which we are opining below, we have assumed, with your permission and without independent investigation, that such laws are identical to the state laws of the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to whether such assumption is reasonable or correct.

For purposes of our opinions rendered below, we have assumed that the facts and law governing the future performance by the Parent and the Acquisition Subsidiary of their respective obligations will be identical to the facts and law governing its performance on the date of this opinion.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

Each of the Parent, the Acquisition Subsidiary and the Split-Off Subsidiary (a) is a corporation incorporated, in good standing and existing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, (b) has the corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and carry on its business as described in its Articles/Certificate of Incorporation and in Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010, and (c) has authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement, the PA Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. Each of the Parent, the Acquisition Subsidiary and the Split-Off Subsidiary is duly qualified, licensed or registered to carry on business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or assets requires it to be qualified, licensed or registered, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business (as currently conducted) or financial condition, prospects or results of operations (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

To our knowledge, the Parent has filed all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof.

The authorized capital stock of the Parent on the date hereof consists of 100,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock, $0.00001 par value per share, of which 22,762,027 shares were issued and outstanding as of the date of the Merger Agreement, after giving effect to a 2.02898-for-1 forward stock split in the form of a stock dividend (the “Stock Split”) to stockholders of record on October , 2010, but without giving effect to the Merger, the PPO, the cancellation of 1,014,490 shares of Parent Common Stock and the surrender and cancellation, pursuant to the Split-Off, of 14,747,555 shares of Parent Common Stock. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Parent are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free of any statutory or,

to our knowledge, contractual or other preemptive rights. Except as set forth in the Transaction Documents and as contemplated by the PPO, to the best of our knowledge, there are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, rights, agreements or commitments to which the Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary is a party or which are binding upon the Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary providing for the issuance or redemption of any of their respective capital stock. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Parent were issued in compliance with the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or valid exemptions therefrom.

The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Parent, the Acquisition Subsidiary and the Split-Off Subsidiary of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by each of them of the Transactions contemplated thereby:

have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of each of Parent and the Acquisition Subsidiary;

do not (or would not with the giving of notice, the lapse of time or the happening of any other event or condition) result in a breach or a violation of, result in the termination of or conflict with, or allow any other Person to exercise any rights under any of the terms or provisions of its Articles/Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws or any material contract known to us to which it is a party;

will not result in the violation of any Law; and

will not violate any judgment, decree, order or award known to us of any court, governmental body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary.

Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Parent and the Acquisition Subsidiary are a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary, as the case may be, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Parent or the Acquisition Subsidiary, as the case may be, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

To our knowledge, there is no litigation or legal proceeding pending or threatened (a) against (i) the Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary or (ii) any Affiliate of the Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary, which litigation or legal proceeding could have a Material Adverse Effect on the Parent or Acquisition Subsidiary or wherein such Affiliate has an interest in the litigation or proceeding that is adverse to the Parent’s or Acquisition Subsidiary’s interest, or (b) that challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or otherwise delay the Transactions.

The 31,647,190 shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger will, when so issued, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The 5,915,615 shares of Parent Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of Parent Options to be issued in connection with the Merger will, when so issued and delivered against payment therefor as provided in the Parent Options, be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.

The 600,000 shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of the Parent Bridge Warrants will, when so issued and delivered against payment therefor as provided in the Parent Bridge Warrants, be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.

10.

The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the PPO will, when so issued, sold and delivered against payment therefore in accordance with the provisions of the Subscription Agreements, be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable. The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of the Investor Warrants and Agent Warrants, will, when so issued and delivered, against payment therefor as provided in the Investor Warrants or Agent Warrants, as applicable, be validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.

11.

The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger (including the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Parent Options and the Parent Bridge Warrants) and the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the PPO (including the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of the Investor Warrants and Agent Warrants), assuming that they are offered and sold in the manner contemplated by the Memorandum will be issued pursuant to valid exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, will not be registered under the Securities Act and will constitute “restricted securities” thereunder. The certificates representing these shares will contain legends restricting their transfer under the Securities Act.

12.

The PPO Shares, the Parent Bridge Warrants, the Investor Warrants, the Agent Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Parent Bridge Warrants, Investor Warrants and the Agent Warrants, have been duly authorized for issuance by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Parent. The issuance of the PPO Shares, the Parent Bridge Warrants, the Investor Warrants and the Agent Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Parent Bridge Warrants, Investor Warrants and the Agent Warrants are not subject to any statutory or, to our knowledge, contractual or other preemptive rights. A sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Parent Common Stock have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Parent Bridge Warrants, Investor Warrants and the Agent Warrants.

13.

Either (i) no consent, approval or authorization of, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any United States federal or state governmental authority on the part of the Parent is required in connection with the valid execution and

delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by the Parent of the transactions contemplated thereunder, except for (A) the filing of a Form D that may be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission; (B) any filings under the securities laws of the various jurisdictions in which the Shares, Investor Warrants and Agent Warrants are being offered and sold in the PPO; (C) the Certificate of Merger to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State; and (D) any filings relating to public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or (ii) any required consent, approval, authorization, action or filing has been obtained, performed or made by the Parent.

This opinion is provided to you as a legal opinion only and not as a guaranty or warranty of the matters discussed herein. This opinion is based upon currently existing statutes, rules, regulations and judicial decisions and is rendered as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change in any of the foregoing sources of law or subsequent .developments in law or changes in facts or circumstances which might affect any matters or opinions set forth herein.

This opinion is rendered only to you and is solely for your benefit in connection with the Transaction Documents and the Transactions. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, nor may this opinion be provided to, quoted to or relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose without our prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this opinion may be relied upon by. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company of New York (the “Transfer Agent”) in its capacity as the Parent’s transfer agent.
