The Company shall give SPAC prompt notice (and in any event within two Business Days) of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Newco Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company or Newco relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and SPAC shall have the right to participate in and, following the Second Effective Time, direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.

The Company, on behalf of itself, the Pre-Closing Holders and the Company’s other Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company, nor any of the Pre-Closing Holders or the Company’s Affiliates, do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between SPAC or its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company, the Pre-Closing Holders and their respective Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). The Company, on behalf of itself and the Pre-Closing Holders and the Company’s other Affiliates, (i) hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Company, the Pre-Closing Holders and their respective Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with SPAC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever to the extent arising out of the Released Claims (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with SPAC or its Affiliates), (ii) agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and the Transactions and specifically relied upon by SPAC to induce SPAC to enter into this Agreement, and (iii) intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Company, the Pre-Closing Holders and their respective Affiliates under applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.03 shall (x) serve to limit or prohibit the right of the Company, the Pre-Closing Holders or

 

- 60 -


their respective Affiliates to pursue a claim against SPAC pursuant to this Agreement for legal relief against monies or other assets of SPAC held outside of the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions or for fraud in the making of the representations and warranties in Article V, and (y) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company, the Pre-Closing Holders or their respective Affiliates may have in the future pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement against SPAC’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account. This Section 6.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Section 6.04 Financial Statements.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall deliver to SPAC true, correct, accurate and complete copies of the unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2022, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-months then ended (the “Combined Company Interim Financial Statements”).

The Company shall reasonably cooperate with SPAC in connection with the preparation for inclusion in the Registration Statement of pro forma financial statements that comply with the requirements of Regulation S-X under the rules and regulations of the SEC (as interpreted by the staff of the SEC).

Section 6.05 Company Approvals. Upon the terms set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, and in any event no later than 24 hours after the date hereof, seek to obtain the Required Company Shareholder Approval, in the form of a written consent.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that it is aware, and that its Representatives are aware or, upon receipt of any material nonpublic information, will be advised of the restrictions imposed by Securities Laws on a Person possessing material nonpublic information about a publicly traded company. The Company hereby agrees that, while it is in possession of such material nonpublic information, it shall not and it will cause its Subsidiaries and direct its Representatives and their respective Affiliates not to, purchase or sell any securities of SPAC (other than engaging in the Transactions) or take any other action with respect to SPAC in violation of such Laws, or cause any third party to do any of the foregoing.

SPAC shall, following the Proxy Clearance Date, use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the SPAC Stockholder Matters and shall include in the Registration Statement the SPAC Board Recommendation. SPAC shall keep the Company reasonably informed regarding all matters relating to the SPAC Stockholder Matters and the Special Meeting, including by promptly furnishing any voting or proxy solicitation reports received by SPAC in respect of such matters and similar updates regarding any redemptions.

SPAC shall immediately notify the Company in writing of any determination to make such Change in Recommendation. SPAC agrees that its obligations under this Agreement shall not be affected by any Change in Recommendation and, for the avoidance of doubt, it agrees (A) that its obligation to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting for the purpose of seeking approval of the SPAC Stockholder Matters shall not be affected by any Change in Recommendation or other intervening event or circumstance and (B) to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting and submit for the approval of its stockholders the SPAC Stockholder Matters, in each case in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of

(c) Required SPAC Stockholder Approval. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 and 9.02, SPAC shall use reasonable best efforts to consummate and make effective the Transactions within three Business Days following receipt of the Required SPAC Stockholder Approval.

(b) Subject to Section 8.05(c), none of the Parties nor any of their respective Representatives shall issue any press releases or make any public announcements with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that each Party may make any such announcement or other communication (i) if such announcement or other communication is required by applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange, in which case the disclosing Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, first allow (A) the Company, if the disclosing party is SPAC or (B) SPAC, if the disclosing party is the Company and such announcement or communication is to be made prior to the Closing, to review such announcement or communication and the opportunity to comment thereon and the disclosing Party shall consider such comments in good faith and, to the extent any such comments are reasonable, the disclosing Party shall incorporate such comments into announcement or other communication, (ii) to the extent such announcements or other communications contain only information previously disclosed in a public statement, press release or other communication previously approved in accordance with this Section 8.05, and (iii) to Governmental Authorities in accordance with Section 8.01.

(c) The initial press release concerning this Agreement and the Transactions shall be a joint press release in the form agreed by the Company and SPAC prior to the execution of this Agreement and such initial press release (the “Signing Press Release”) shall be released as promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement (but in any event within four Business Days thereafter). Promptly after the execution of this Agreement (but in any event within four Business Days thereafter), SPAC shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the “Signing Filing”) with the Signing Press Release and a description of this Agreement as required by Securities Laws, which the Company shall have the opportunity to review and

 

- 75 -


comment upon prior to filing and SPAC shall consider such comments in good faith and, to the extent any such comments are reasonable, SPAC shall incorporate such comments into the Signing Filing. The Company and SPAC shall mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by any of them) and, as promptly as practicable after the Closing (but in any event within four Business Days thereafter), issue a press release announcing the consummation of the Transactions (the “Closing Press Release”). Promptly after the Closing (but in any event within four Business Days after the Closing), SPAC shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the “Closing Filing”) with the Closing Press Release and a description of the Closing as required by Securities Laws. In connection with the preparation of the Signing Press Release, the Signing Filing, the Closing Press Release or the Closing Filing, each Party shall, upon written request by any other Party, furnish such other Party with all information concerning itself, its directors, officers and equityholders, and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary for such press release or filing.

Section 8.06 Post-Closing Cooperation; Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each Party shall, on the request of any other Party, execute such further documents, and perform such further acts, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to give full effect to the allocation of rights, benefits, obligations and liabilities contemplated by this Agreement and the Transactions.

Section 8.07 Qualification as an Emerging Growth Company. SPAC shall, at all times during the period from the date hereof until the Closing: (a) take all actions necessary to continue to qualify as an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) and (b) not take any action that would cause SPAC to not qualify as an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act.

Section 8.08 Financing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Interim Period, the Company and SPAC shall pursue (i) commitments from third party lenders (the “Debt Financing Sources”), to provide loans to New Pubco immediately following the Closing (the debt financing under such commitments, collectively, hereinafter referred to as, the “Debt Financing”) and (ii) subscription agreements or other commitments, from third party investors (each a “PIPE Investor”) to provide equity financing to New Pubco in connection with the Closing (the aggregate proceeds to be received under all PIPE Investor Subscription Agreements, collectively, the “PIPE Financing Amount”, and the equity financing under all PIPE Investor Subscription Agreements, collectively, hereinafter referred to as, the “PIPE Financing”). If such Financing commitments are obtained on terms and conditions satisfactory to each of the Company and SPAC, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the proceeds of the Financing on the terms and conditions of such commitments, including using commercially reasonable efforts to (i) negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the Financing (the “Definitive Financing Agreements”), (ii) satisfy (or, if deemed advisable by each of the Company and SPAC, obtain the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions set forth in such Definitive Financing Agreements that are within their control (including payment of all fees and expenses) and comply with their obligations thereunder, (iii) maintain in effect any written and executed debt or equity commitments (including any subscription agreements) in accordance with their terms and (iv) diligently enforce all of their rights under any such commitments, provided, however, that neither Party shall be required to bring any enforcement action against any PIPE Investor or Debt Financing Source to enforce its rights under the applicable Financing.

(b) Subject to the terms hereof, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with its obligations, and enforce its rights, under any executed debt or equity commitments. SPAC shall give the Company prompt notice of any material breach by any party to an executed debt or equity commitment of which SPAC has become aware or any termination (or alleged or

 

- 76 -


purported termination) of such commitment. SPAC shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to obtain the proceeds of the Financing and shall not permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under, any executed debt or equity commitment entered into following the date hereof if such amendment, modification, waiver or remedy (i) would delay the occurrence of the Closing, (ii) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing in any material respect, (iii) increases the aggregate amount of any Debt Financing if such increase would result in such amount exceeding the Debt Financing Sources, (iv) adds or imposes new conditions or amends the existing conditions to the drawdown of the Financing, or (v) is adverse to (or is reasonably likely to become adverse to) the interests of the Company, in each case, in any material respect, in each case without obtaining prior written consent of the Company, which may be withheld in the Company’s sole discretion.

(c) Prior to the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01, the Company agrees, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their Representatives, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (including the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth therein) as may be reasonably requested by SPAC, including by (i) participating in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies at mutually agreeable times and locations and upon reasonable advance notice, (ii) assisting with the preparation of customary materials for actual and potential PIPE Investors and Debt Financing Sources, rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents required in connection with the Financing (which shall not include pro forma financial information), (iii) executing and delivering any pledge and security documents, other definitive financing documents, or other certificates, or documents as may be reasonably requested by SPAC or otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral, provided, that, such documents will not take effect until the Closing and are reasonably acceptable to the Company, (iv) providing the Financial Statements and such other financial information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries that is readily available or within the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession and as is reasonably requested in connection with the Financing, (v) at the Company’s option, taking or appointing a representative of SPAC to take all corporate actions, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, reasonably requested by SPAC to permit the consummation of the Financing and, in the case of the Debt Financing, the direct borrowing or incurrence of all of the proceeds of the Debt Financing, by the Company or a Subsidiary immediately following the Closing, (vi) the Company and each Subsidiary executing and delivering reasonable and customary certificates (including a customary certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and each Subsidiary with respect to solvency matters), customary management representation letters and other customary documentation required by the Debt Financing Sources and the PIPE Investors and the definitive documentation related to the Debt Financing and the PIPE Financing, provided, that no such certificates, letters or other documentation shall be effective prior to the consummation of the Closing and all such certificates, letters or other documentation shall relate only to the Company and its Subsidiaries (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any of the SPAC Parties), (vii) furnishing SPAC at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or to the extent reasonably requested at least ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date), with all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and (vii) otherwise reasonably cooperating in SPAC’s efforts to obtain the Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) such requested cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (B) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability or obligation in connection with the Financing prior to the Closing, (C) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary nor any of their Representatives shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the Financing that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing (other than any customary management representation and authorization letter in connection with marketing materials contemplated by the Financing) and (D) Persons

 

- 77 -


who are on the board of directors or the board of managers (or similar governing body) of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to the Closing in their capacity as such shall not be required to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Financing. Nothing contained in this Section 8.08 or otherwise shall require the Company or any Subsidiary, prior to the Closing, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Financing. The Company shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any financing documents (including any commitment letters with respect to the Debt Financing or the PIPE Financing) and any materials that are to be presented during any meetings conducted in connection with the Financing, and SPAC shall give due consideration to all reasonable comments provided thereto.

(d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that SPAC or New Pubco shall not enter into any Financing Agreements without the Company’s prior written consent, which may be withheld or withdrawn, in the Company’s sole discretion, up until the Closing. In addition, none of the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives shall be required to take any action that would subject such Person to actual or potential Liability, to bear any cost or expense or to pay any commitment or other similar fee or make any other payment or incur any other liability or provide or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Financing or their performance of their respective obligations under this Section 8.08 or any information utilized in connection therewith. SPAC shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their Representatives from and against any and all loss suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and the performance of their respective obligations under this Section 8.08 and any information utilized in connection therewith, except in the case of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct committed by the Company, its Subsidiaries and any of their Representatives. SPAC shall, promptly upon receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, reimburse the Company or its Subsidiaries for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries (including those of its accountants, consultants, legal counsel, agents and other Representatives) in connection with the cooperation required by this Section 8.08.

(e) In connection with the Financing, each of the Company and SPAC agrees to deliver, and cause its respective legal counsel and auditors to deliver, to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. such certificates (including a chief financial officer certificate from the Company on any projections included in any registration statement or proxy statement filed in connection with the Transactions), comfort letters, negative assurance letters and legal opinions from SPAC and the Company and their respective internal and external legal counsel and auditors as Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. shall reasonably request and that are generally provided to underwriters in connection with underwritten public offerings of securities registered under the Securities Act; provided that such documents are in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Party delivering such document.

Section 8.09 Reputation. None of the Parties will take, or permit any of their Affiliates to take, any action that would be reasonably expected to cause material harm to the reputation of the Company or New Pubco, prior to or after Closing. In the event of any change, event, circumstance, effect, development or state of facts that, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably expected to cause material harm to the reputation of the Company or New Pubco prior to or after the Closing, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to mitigate the effect of such event of any change, event, circumstance, effect, development or state of facts, including by, if applicable, terminating their relationship with any Person whose action or inaction gave rise to or caused such change, event, circumstance, effect, development or state of facts.

Section 8.10 Tax Agreement. To the extent the amount of the Potential Tax Adjustment is not known as of the day prior to Closing, New Pubco will pay the Potential Tax Adjustment to the Pre-Closing Holders after Closing promptly after the amount of the Potential Tax Adjustment can be determined. Further, to the extent the dividends paid by the Company in the Interim Period, as contemplated by Section 6.01(a)(ii)(b) are not sufficient to permit the Pre-Closing Holders to satisfy all Tax obligations of the Pre-Closing Holders with respect to the pre-Closing period, New Pubco shall pay the Pre-Closing Holders for any such Tax obligations. During the Interim Period, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith the Tax Agreement with respect to the foregoing.

Section 11.08 Schedules and Exhibits. The Schedules and Exhibits referenced herein are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. All references herein to Schedules and Exhibits shall be deemed references to such parts of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require. Any disclosure made by a Party in the Schedules with reference to any section or schedule of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to all other sections or schedules to which such disclosure may apply solely to the extent the relevance of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure in such Schedule. Certain information set forth in the Schedules is included solely for informational purposes. The disclosure of any information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgement that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality.

Section 11.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement), the Transaction Agreements (together with the Schedules and Exhibits thereto) and the Amended and Restated Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of December 3, 2021, by and between the Company and SPAC (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time,

the “Confidentiality Agreement”), constitute the entire agreement among the Parties relating to the Transactions and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the Transactions. No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the Transactions exist between the Parties except as expressly set forth or referenced in this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 11.10 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed by each of the Company and SPAC in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement. The approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of any of the Parties shall not restrict the ability of the board of directors or managers (or other body performing similar functions) of any of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01 or to cause such Party to enter into an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.10.

Section 11.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.

Section 11.12 Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions may be brought in federal and state courts located in the State of Delaware, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any Party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other Party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this Section 11.12. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

Section 11.13 Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur if the Parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) SPAC and the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither of SPAC nor the Company, in seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.13, shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

Section 11.14 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except to the extent a Party (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such Party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, sponsor, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any Party and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, sponsor, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the SPAC Parties or Company under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions.

Section 11.15 Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants; Limitation on Liability. None of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and other provisions, shall survive the Closing and shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Second Effective Time (and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect thereof), except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms apply in whole or in part at or after the Closing and then only with respect to any breaches occurring at or after the Closing and (b) this Article XI. Except with respect to the payments contemplated by Section 10.03, in no event shall SPAC and its Affiliates, on the one hand, or the Company and its Affiliates, on the other hand, be liable hereunder for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities whatsoever, whether before or after Closing or in connection with the termination of this Agreement, in an aggregate amount that exceeds $11 million (which amount, for avoidance of doubt, does not include any Termination Expenses payable under Section 10.03).

Section 11.16 Acknowledgements. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives) that (a) it has conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the other Parties (and their respective Subsidiaries) and has been afforded satisfactory access to the books and records, facilities and personnel of the other Parties (and their respective Subsidiaries) for purposes of conducting such investigation; (b) the representations and warranties in Article IV constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Company in connection with the Transactions; (c) the representations and warranties in Article V constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the SPAC Parties; (d) except for the representations and warranties in Article IV by the Company and the representations and warranties in Article V by the SPAC Parties, none of the Parties or any other Person makes, or has made, any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to any Party (or any Party’s Subsidiaries), including any implied warranty or representation as to condition, merchantability, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose or trade as to any of the assets of the such Party or its Subsidiaries or the Transactions, and all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature, expressed or implied (including (i) regarding the completeness or accuracy of, or any omission to state or to disclose, any information, including in the estimates, projections or forecasts or any other information, document or material provided to or made available to any Party or their respective Affiliates or Representatives in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the Transactions, including meetings, calls or correspondence with management of any Party (or any Party’s Subsidiaries), and (ii) any relating to the

future or historical business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of any Party (or its Subsidiaries), or the quality, quantity or condition of any Party’s or its Subsidiaries’ assets), are specifically disclaimed by all Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and all other Persons (including the Representatives and Affiliates of any Party or its Subsidiaries); and (e) each Party and its respective Affiliates are not relying on any representations and warranties in connection with the Transactions except the representations and warranties in Article IV by the Company and the representations and warranties in Article V by the SPAC Parties. The foregoing does not limit any rights of any Party pursuant to any other Transaction Agreement against any other Party pursuant to such Transaction Agreement to which it is a party or an express third-party beneficiary thereof. Nothing in this Section 11.16 shall relieve any Party of liability in the case of fraud committed by such Party.
