(as defined in the Merger Agreement)) as of immediately prior to the Effective
Time (and their successors and assigns) in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Merger Agreement, and Clearday SR LLC, a Delaware limited

combination between Viveon and Clearday will be effected through the merger of
Merger Sub with and into Clearday, with Clearday surviving the merger as a
wholly owned subsidiary of Viveon and Viveon will change its name to "Clearday
Holdings, Inc." (the "Merger"). The board of directors of Clearday has (i)
approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the
Merger Agreement, the Merger and related transactions by the stockholders of
Clearday. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit
2.1.
Consideration
Merger Consideration
The total consideration to be paid at Closing (the "Merger Consideration") by
Viveon to Clearday security holders (and holders who have the right to acquire
Clearday capital stock) will be an amount equal to $250 Million (plus the
aggregate exercise price for all Clearday options and warrants). The Merger
Consideration will be payable in shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share, of Viveon ("Viveon Common Stock") valued at $10 per share.
Earnout Payments
In addition, the holders of Company Preferred Stock will have the contingent
right to earn up to 5,000,000 shares of Viveon Common Stock, in the aggregate
(the "Earnout Shares"), if at any time during the period beginning on the date
of the Closing (the "Closing Date") and ending on the fifth anniversary of the
Closing Date (the "Earnout Eligibility Period"), the Adjusted Net Income for any
Earnout Period is a positive number for the first time during the Earnout
Eligibility Period (the "Earnout Milestone").
If, following the Closing Date and prior to end of the Earnout Eligibility
Period, there is a Change of Control, then, immediately prior to such Change of
Control, all the Earnout Shares not yet earned shall be earned by the Company
Earnout Holders and shall be released from escrow and delivered to the Company
Earnout Holders, and the Company Earnout Holders shall be eligible to
participate in such Change of Control transaction with respect to such Earnout
Shares.
The Earnout Shares will be placed in escrow and will not be released from escrow
until they are earned as a result of the occurrence of the Earnout Milestone or
a Change of Control, if applicable. The Earnout Shares that are not earned on or
before the expiration of the Earnout Eligibility Period shall be automatically
forfeited and cancelled.
Treatment of Clearday Securities
Cancellation of Securities. Each share of Clearday capital stock, if any, that
is owned by Viveon, Merger Sub, Clearday, or any of their subsidiaries (as
treasury stock or otherwise) immediately prior to the effective time of the
Merger (the "Effective Time"), will automatically be cancelled and retired
without any conversion or consideration.

Preferred Stock. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of
Clearday's Series F Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per
share ("Clearday Series F Preferred Stock") (other than any such shares of
Clearday capital stock cancelled as described above and any dissenting shares),
will be converted into the right to receive: (A) one (1) share of Parent New
Series F Preferred Stock plus (B) a number of Earnout Shares in accordance with,
and subject to the contingencies, set forth in the Merger Agreement.

share of Parent New Series A Preferred Stock plus (B) a number of Earnout Shares
in accordance with, and subject to the contingencies, set forth in the Merger

number of shares of Viveon Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio. The

(a)(i) the sum of $250 Million, plus the aggregate exercise or conversion price
of outstanding Clearday's stock options and warrants (excluding unvested options
and options or warrants with an exercise or conversion price of $5.00 or more),
divided by (ii) the number of fully diluted Clearday capital stock (including
Company Preferred Stock, warrants, stock options, convertible notes, and any
other convertible securities) (excluding unvested options and options or
warrants with an exercise or conversion price of $5.00 or more and assuming a
conversion price of Clearday subsidiary securities as provided in the Merger
Agreement); divided by (b) $10.00.
Merger Sub Securities. Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share,
of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
will be converted into and become one newly issued share of common stock of the
surviving corporation.
Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares
of Clearday Common Stock will be converted into an option to purchase, subject
to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such
options prior to the Effective Time, shares of Viveon Common Stock equal to the
number of shares subject to such option prior to the Effective Time multiplied
by the Conversion Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Viveon Common Stock
equal to the exercise price per share of Clearday Common Stock subject to such
option divided by the Conversion Ratio.
Warrants. Contingent on and effective as of immediately prior to the Effective
Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Clearday Preferred Stock or
Clearday Common Stock will be treated in accordance with the terms thereof.
