(i) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of SPAC Common Stock shall be issued upon the exchange of Company Common Stock and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights of a stockholder of the SPAC or a holder of shares of SPAC Common Stock. Any such fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

(ii) Catch-Up Earnout (Payment Years 2-3).

(A) The amount, if any, by which Actual EBITDA in the 2^nd or 3^rd Payment Year exceeds the EBITDA Target for such Payment Year shall be applied to the Actual EBITDA in prior Payment Years, starting with the earliest Payment Year for which the EBITDA Target was not achieved and the Maximum Base Earnout Shares were not earned, until the earned Base Earnout Shares for each such prior Payment Year equals the Maximum Base Earnout Shares for such Payment Year.

(iii) True-Up (Payment Year 4). If, after the 3^rd Payment Year, the total number of Company Earnout Shares earned (including any Catch-Up Earnout Shares) is less than the EBITDA Component Cap, then in the 4^th Payment Year, the Eligible Company Equityholders shall be entitled to earn such difference upon achieving the EBITDA Target for the 4^th Payment Year.

(c)  Calculation of Revenue Component.

(i) Base Earnout (Payment Years 1-3). In each of the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd Payment Years, the Eligible Company Equityholders will be entitled to receive, in the aggregate, a number of Company Earnout Shares equal to (i) the Maximum Base Earnout Shares, multiplied by (ii) the Realized Revenue Percentage.

(ii) Catch-Up Earnout (Payment Years 2-3). If, in the 1^st or 2^nd Payment Year, the Actual Revenue is insufficient for the Eligible Company Equityholders to earn the Maximum Base Earnout Shares for such Payment Year, then the Eligible Company Equityholders will have the opportunity in the 2^nd and 3^rd Payment Years to earn such unearned Base Earnout Shares in the form of Catch-Up Earnout Shares, as follows:

(A) The amount, if any, by which Actual Revenue in the 2^nd or 3^rd Payment Year exceeds the Revenue Target for such Payment Year shall be applied to the Actual Revenue in prior Payment Years, starting with the earliest Payment Year for which the Revenue Target was not achieved and the Maximum Base Earnout Shares were not earned, until the earned Base Earnout Shares for each such prior Payment Year equals the Maximum Base Earnout Shares for such Payment Year.

(iii) True-Up (Payment Year 4). If, after the 3^rd Payment Year, the total number of Company Earnout Shares earned (including any Catch-Up Earnout Shares) is less than the Revenue Component Cap, then in the 4^th Payment Year, the Eligible Company Equityholders shall be entitled to earn such difference upon achieving the Revenue Target for the 4^th Payment Year.

(d)  Determination of Sponsor Earnout Shares.

(i) In each of the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd Payment Years of the Earnout Period, the Sponsor shall be eligible to receive up to 1,000,000 shares of SPAC Common Stock (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) with respect to such Payment Year if the corresponding Milestones for such Payment Year are reached, subject to proration and catch-up, if applicable, in a manner consistent with Sections 3.03(b)(i)-(ii) and 3.03(c)(i)-(ii) (it being understood that Sponsor Earnout Shares shall not reduce the Earnout Cap).

(iii) Review; Objection. Following the receipt of an Earnout Statement, the Company Equityholders’ Representative shall have 30 days (the “Earnout Review Period”) to review and make any objections to such Earnout Statement by delivering to SPAC a written notice (an “Earnout Objection Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail the items in dispute (each, a “Disputed Item”). If the Company Equityholders’ Representative does not deliver an Earnout Objection Notice on or prior to the expiration date of the Earnout Review Period, then the Earnout Statement shall be deemed final (absent manifest error) and such expiration date shall constitute the Earnout Determination Date (as defined below) for such Payment Year.

(iv) Dispute Resolution. If applicable, following the timely delivery of an Earnout Objection Notice, SPAC and the Company Equityholders’ Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items in such Earnout Objection Notice. If SPAC and the Company Equityholders’ Representative are unable to resolve all Disputed Items within 30 days after delivery of the Earnout Objection Notice (or such longer period as may be mutually agreed by SPAC and the Company Equityholders’ Representative), then all unresolved Disputed Items shall be submitted to an independent nationally recognized public accounting firm mutually acceptable to SPAC and the Company Equityholders’ Representative (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to promptly review the applicable Earnout Statement and resolve the Disputed Items. SPAC and the Company Equityholders’ Representative will request that the Independent Accounting Firm render its determination within 60 days following submission to it of such Disputed Items. The Independent Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator and shall resolve only the Disputed Items in accordance with this Section 3.03 and applicable terms of this Agreement; provided, that the Independent Accounting Firm (i) shall not assign a value to any item or resolve any matter not specifically identified as a Disputed Item in the Earnout Objection Notice, (ii) shall not modify, amend or waive any provision of this Agreement or apply any standard of “materiality,” “equity” or similar concepts to deviate from this Agreement, and (iii) shall be instructed to base its determination solely on the written submissions of SPAC and the Company Equityholders’ Representative (and such supporting documentation as the Independent Accounting Firm may reasonably request from each of them) and not on any independent investigation. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and non-appealable, absent manifest error, and such date of determination shall constitute the Earnout Determination Date for such Payment Year. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne in equal parts by SPAC, on the one hand, and the Eligible Company Equityholders, on the other hand, unless the Independent Accounting Firm determines that one Party’s position was not substantially justified, in which case it may allocate such fees accordingly.

(v) Issuance of Earnout Shares. Within 5 Business Days after the Earnout Determination Date for a Payment Year, SPAC shall issue (or cause to be issued) to the Eligible Company Equityholders the Company Earnout Shares (and to the Sponsor, the Sponsor Earnout Shares) earned for such Payment Year as set forth in the applicable Earnout Statement (as finally determined), subject to applicable withholding and compliance with Applicable Law and Nasdaq rules. The Company Earnout Shares shall be allocated among the Eligible Company Equityholders pro rata in accordance with their respective ownership of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(vi) Equitable Adjustments. The number of shares issuable pursuant to this Section 3.03, including the Company Earnout Shares, Earnout Cap and Sponsor Earnout Shares, shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares or other similar change with respect to shares of SPAC Common Stock occurring after the Closing and prior to the completion of the Earnout Period.

(f)  Sponsor Representative; Dissolution.

(i) Appointment. Prior to the Closing, the Sponsor shall designate in writing to SPAC and the Company a representative (the “Sponsor Representative”) who shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Sponsor with respect to all matters arising under this Section 3.03, including receipt of notices, delivery of any notices or instructions, review and objection to any Earnout Statement to the extent applicable to Sponsor Earnout Shares, and acceptance of issuance of Sponsor Earnout Shares.

(ii) Binding Effect. SPAC and the Company may rely conclusively on any action taken by the Sponsor Representative (or any successor Sponsor Representative designated in accordance with this Section 3.03(f)) as being authorized by the Sponsor, and any such action shall be binding upon the Sponsor and its successors and assigns.

(iii) Replacement; Successor. The Sponsor may replace the Sponsor Representative at any time by delivering written notice to SPAC and the Company. If (A) the Sponsor dissolves, liquidates or otherwise ceases to exist, or (B) the Sponsor Representative dies, becomes incapacitated, resigns or is removed and the Sponsor has not designated a successor within ten (10) Business Days after notice from SPAC or the Company, then the Sponsor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Surviving Corporation to treat the Sponsor’s manager as the successor Sponsor Representative until a successor is duly designated.

(iv) Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be delivered to the Sponsor under this Section 3.03 shall be effective if delivered to the Sponsor Representative in accordance with Section 10.01.

3.04 Company Closing Statement. Three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to SPAC a statement (the “Company Closing Statement”) setting forth in good faith (x) a capitalization table containing the information set forth in Section 4.03(a), and (y) either (i) if any Company Convertible Securities are outstanding, the information with respect to each holder thereof set forth on Section 4.03(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule or (ii) if any Company Convertible Securities are outstanding, an express statement to that effect, in each case, as of the date the Company Closing Statement is delivered to SPAC. From and after delivery of the Company Closing Statement until the Closing, the Company shall (i) use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with and provide SPAC and its Representatives all information reasonably requested by SPAC or any of its Representatives and within the Company’s or its Representatives’ possession or control in connection with SPAC’s review of the Company Closing Statement and (ii) consider in good faith any comments to the Company Closing Statement provided by SPAC, which comments SPAC shall deliver to the Company no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and the Company shall revise such Company Closing Statement to incorporate any changes the Company determines are reasonably necessary or appropriate given such comments. The capitalization table included in the Company Closing Statement shall (A) be certified by the Chief Financial Officer (or, if none, the Chief Executive Officer) of the Company as being true, correct and complete as of the date of delivery, (B) include the name of each holder of issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the number of shares held by each such holder, and each such holder’s percentage ownership of the total issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, and (C) identify any discrepancy from the Company Cap Table delivered pursuant to Section 4.03(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of the nature and cause of such discrepancy.

3.05 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether represented by certificates (“Certificates”) or held in book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”)) shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Stock, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates or evidence of ownership of Book-Entry Shares (including a book-entry statement or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Exchange Agent and SPAC) presented to the Exchange Agent or SPAC for any reason shall be converted into the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 and Section 3.03, as applicable.

3.06 Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders of the Company who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal or dissenters’ rights for such Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection of appraisal rights, shall not be converted into, and such stockholders shall have no right to receive, the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration unless and until such stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. Any stockholder of the Company who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock under Section 262 of the DGCL, shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, if applicable, in the manner provided in Section 3.02(b), of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Common Stock.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall give SPAC (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company and any withdrawals of such demands, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of SPAC, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

Article IV

Except as set forth in the Company’s disclosure schedule delivered by the Company in connection with this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”), the Company hereby represents and warrants to SPAC and Merger Sub as follows:

Each Company Subsidiary is a corporation or other organization duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has the requisite corporate or other organizational power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to be in good standing would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation or other organization to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b) A true and complete list of all the Company Subsidiaries, together with the jurisdiction of incorporation of each Company Subsidiary and the percentage of the outstanding capital stock of each Company Subsidiary owned by the Company and each other Company Subsidiary, is set forth in Section 4.01(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Except as set forth in Section 4.01(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company does not directly or indirectly own any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity or similar interest in, any other corporation, partnership, joint venture or business association or other entity.

All shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement have been duly authorized, are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and were not issued in violation of any applicable purchase option, call option, right of first refusal, preemptive right, subscription right or any similar applicable right under any applicable provision of the DGCL, the Company Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s bylaws or any contract to which the Company is or was a party or by which it is or was bound.

(b) The Company has not reserved any shares of Company Common Stock for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company pursuant to any equity incentive plan, and no such plan exists or has ever been adopted by the Company’s board of directors or approved by the Company’s stockholders. There are no Company Convertible Securities, or preemptive rights or rights of first refusal or first offer, nor are there any commitments, arrangements or restrictions to which the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, any of its stockholders is a party or bound relating to any equity securities of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, whether or not outstanding. There are no outstanding or authorized equity appreciation, phantom equity or similar rights with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiary. There are no voting trusts, proxies, stockholder agreements or any other agreements to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party, or to the Company’s knowledge, among any holder of Company Stock or any other equity interests or other securities of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is not a party, with respect to the voting of the Company Stock or any of the equity interests or other securities of the Company. Section 4.03(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth, as of the date of this Agreement, a true, correct and complete capitalization table of the Company (the “Company Cap Table”), which includes (i) the name of each holder of issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by each such holder, and (iii) each such holder's percentage ownership of the total issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. All information set forth in the Company Cap Table is true, correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement, and is consistent with the Company's stock ledger, the Company Certificate of Incorporation, and the Company's bylaws.

(c) There are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any equity interests of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or to provide funds to or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise) in any person other than a Company Subsidiary.

(d) All outstanding Company Stock and all outstanding shares of capital stock of each Company Subsidiary have been issued in compliance in all material respects with (i) all applicable securities laws and other applicable Laws and (ii) all preemptive rights and other requirements set forth in applicable contracts to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party and the organizational documents of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, as applicable.

(e) Each outstanding share of capital stock of each Company Subsidiary is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and each such share is owned by the Company free and clear of all Liens, options, rights of first refusal and limitations on the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s voting rights, other than transfer restrictions under applicable securities laws and their respective organizational documents.

4.04 Authority Relative to this Agreement. The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and, subject to receiving the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval, to consummate the Transactions. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions (other than, with respect to the Merger, the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by SPAC and Merger Sub, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, by general equitable principles (the “Remedies Exceptions”). The Company Board has approved this Agreement and the Transactions, and such approvals are sufficient so that the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL shall not apply to the Merger, this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any of the other Transactions. To the knowledge of the Company, no other state takeover statute is applicable to the Merger or the other Transactions.

 4.05 No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, variances, exceptions, consents, certificates, approvals and orders of any Governmental Authority necessary for each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to own, lease and operate its properties in all material respects and to carry on its business in all material respects as it is now being conducted (each, a “Company Permit”). To the knowledge of the Company, all Company Permits are valid and in force and no suspension or cancellation of any of the Company Permits is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing and no event has occurred which would result in the suspension or cancellation of the Company Permits. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is in conflict with, or in default, breach or violation of, (a) any Law applicable to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Company Subsidiary is bound or affected, (b) any Company Permit or (c) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of their property or assets is bound or affected, except in the case of clauses (a)-(c) as would not individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

The preceding sentence shall also include circumstances in which the producer or the importer of the Products is a person other than the Company.

There are no separate contracts, agreements, side letters or other agreements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied): (i) between SPAC and the Trustee that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the SPAC SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) that would entitle any person (other than shareholders of SPAC who shall have elected to redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the SPAC Organizational Documents) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except: (A) to pay income and franchise Taxes from any interest income earned in the Trust Account; and (B) upon the exercise of Redemption Rights in accordance with the provisions of the SPAC Organizational Documents. To SPAC’s knowledge, as of the date of this Agreement, following the Effective Time, no shareholder of SPAC shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account except to the extent such shareholder is exercising its Redemption Rights. There are no Actions pending or, to the knowledge of SPAC, threatened in writing with respect to the Trust Account. Upon consummation of the Merger and notice thereof to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement, SPAC shall cause the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall thereupon be obligated to, release to SPAC as promptly as practicable, the Trust Funds in accordance with the Trust Agreement at which point the Trust Account shall terminate; provided, however, that the liabilities and obligations of SPAC due and owing or incurred at or prior to the Effective Time shall be paid as and when due, including all amounts payable (i) to shareholders of SPAC who shall have exercised their Redemption Rights, (ii) with respect to filings, applications and/or other actions taken pursuant to this Agreement required under Law, (iii) to the Trustee for fees and costs incurred in accordance with the Trust Agreement, and (iv) to third parties (e.g., professionals, printers, etc.) who have rendered services to SPAC in connection with its efforts to effect the Merger. As of the date hereof, SPAC has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to SPAC at the Effective Time.

Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Company hereby irrevocably waives any Claim it may have, now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund for any reason whatsoever in respect thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver will not limit or prohibit the Company from pursuing a claim against SPAC, Merger Sub or any other person (a) for legal relief against monies or other assets of SPAC or Merger Sub held outside of the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions (including a claim for SPAC to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Redemption Rights)) or (b) for damages for breach of this Agreement against SPAC (or any successor entity) or Merger Sub in the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason and SPAC consummates a business combination transaction with another party. In the event that the Company commences any action or proceeding against or involving the Trust Fund in violation of the foregoing, SPAC shall be entitled to recover from the Company the associated reasonable legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event SPAC prevails in such action or proceeding.

7.07 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a) The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Subsidiary Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, exculpation, advancement or expense reimbursement than are set forth in the charter or bylaws of the Company, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company (the “D&O Indemnitees”), unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law. The parties hereto further agree that with respect to the provisions of the charter, bylaws or limited liability company agreements of the Company Subsidiaries relating to indemnification, exculpation, advancement or expense reimbursement, such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of the D&O Indemnitees, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, SPAC shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted under applicable Law, the Company Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Company, the charter, bylaws or limited liability company agreements of the Company Subsidiary, or any indemnification agreement in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify or exculpate such person (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law).

(b) The Post-Domestication Organizational Documents shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, exculpation, advancement or expense reimbursement than are set forth as of the date hereof in the charter or bylaws of SPAC and Merger Sub, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of SPAC (the “SPAC D&O Indemnitees”), unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law. The parties hereto further agree that with respect to the provisions of the charter or bylaws of SPAC as of the date hereof relating to indemnification, exculpation, advancement or expense reimbursement, such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of the SPAC D&O Indemnitees, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, SPAC shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of SPAC against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that SPAC would have been permitted under applicable Law, the Pre-Domestication Organizational Documents on, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Merger Sub, or any indemnification agreement in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify or exculpate such person (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law).

(c) For a period of six years from the Effective Time, SPAC shall maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (true, correct and complete copies of which have been heretofore made available to SPAC or its agents or Representatives) (the “Company D&O Insurance”) on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage, except that in no event shall SPAC be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of 200% of the aggregate annual premium payable by the Company for such insurance policy for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Maximum Annual Premium”). If the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Annual Premium, then SPAC will be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may purchase a prepaid “tail” policy with respect to the Company D&O Insurance from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier so long as the aggregate cost for such “tail” policy does not exceed the Maximum Annual Premium. If the Company elects to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, SPAC will maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect for a period of no less than six years after the Effective Time and continue to honor its obligations thereunder. If the Company is unable to obtain the “tail” policy and SPAC is unable to obtain the insurance described in this Section 7.07(c) for an amount less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Premium, SPAC will instead obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Annual Premium.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, SPAC may purchase a prepaid “tail” policy (a “SPAC Tail Policy”) with respect to the D&O Insurance covering those persons who are currently covered by SPAC’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (the “SPAC D&O Insurance”). If SPAC elects to purchase such SPAC Tail Policy prior to the Effective Time, SPAC will maintain such SPAC Tail Policy in full force and effect for a period of no less than six years after the Effective Time and continue to honor SPAC’s obligations thereunder.

(e) With respect to any claims that may be made under the Company D&O Insurance or the SPAC D&O Insurance or any applicable “tail” policies, (i) prior to the Effective Time, SPAC and the Company shall cooperate with the other party as reasonably requested by such other party, and (ii) after the Effective Time, SPAC shall cooperate with any person insured by such policies as reasonably requested by such person. For the avoidance of doubt, any D&O Insurance intended to cover claims arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring after the Effective Time shall be an expense of SPAC following the Closing.

(f) The provisions of this Section 7.07 (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnitee and each SPAC D&O Indemnitee, in each case, who is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 7.07; and (ii) are in addition to any rights such D&O Indemnitees or SPAC D&O Indemnitees may have under the organizational documents of SPAC or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws and not intended to, nor shall be construed or shall release or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to SPAC, SPAC or their respective Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees (it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.07 is not prior to or in substitution of any such claims under such policies).

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 7.07 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on SPAC and all successors and assigns of SPAC. In the event SPAC or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of SPAC shall assume, at and as of the closing of the applicable transaction referred to in this Section 7.07(g) all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.07.

(h) On the Closing Date, SPAC shall enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to each of the Company and SPAC with the directors and officers of SPAC following the Closing, which indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective following the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification agreements with the directors and officers of SPAC prior to the Closing in effect as of the date hereof and listed on Section 7.07(h) of the SPAC Disclosure Schedule shall continue to be effective following the Closing, and SPAC shall continue to honor its obligations thereunder.

7.08 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to SPAC, and SPAC shall give prompt notice to the Company, of any event which a party becomes aware of between the date of this Agreement and the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 8.03(e)), the occurrence, or non-occurrence of which causes or would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII to fail.

7.09 Further Action; Reasonable Best Efforts; Subscription Agreements.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, such things as are necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws or otherwise, and each shall cooperate with the other, to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including using its reasonable best efforts to obtain all permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of, and the expiration or termination of waiting periods by, Governmental Authorities and parties to contracts with the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as set forth in Section 4.05 necessary for the consummation of the Transactions and to fulfill the conditions to the Merger. In case, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of each party shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all such action.

(b) Each of the parties shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the Transactions, including promptly notifying the other parties of any communication it or any of its affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permitting the other parties to review in advance, and to the extent practicable consult about, any proposed communication by such party to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. No party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting, or video or telephone conference, with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting or conference. Subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties will provide each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications, including any documents, information and data contained therewith, between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions.

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 all such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Closing (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 expressly apply in whole or in part after the Closing and then only with respect to any breaches occurring after the Closing and (b) this Article X and any corresponding definitions set forth in Article I.

10.03 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

10.04 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede, except as set forth in Section 7.05(b), all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of Law or otherwise) by any party without the prior express written consent of the other parties hereto.

10.05 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than Section 7.07, Section 10.11 and Section 3.03(b)-(c) (each of which is intended to be for the benefit of the persons covered thereby and may be enforced by such persons).

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

10.07 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions. Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the Transactions, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.07.

10.08 Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile, portable document format (pdf) transmission, or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by facsimile, pdf or other electronic means (including any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or other applicable Law) shall be deemed to be an original signature for all purposes.

10.10 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the parties’ obligation to consummate the Merger) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, County of Newcastle, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Each of the parties hereby further waives (i) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if prior to the Outside Date any party initiates an Action to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, then the Outside Date will be automatically extended by: (A) the amount of time during which such Action is pending plus 20 Business Days; or (B) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.

10.11 No Recourse. All claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity or otherwise, or granted by statute or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or any other theory or doctrine, including alter ego or otherwise) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or the negotiation, execution, or performance or non-performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), may be made only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement or the applicable Transaction Document (the “Contracting Parties”) except as set forth in this Section 10.11. In no event shall any Contracting Party have any shared or vicarious liability for the actions or omissions of any other person. No person who is not a Contracting Party, including any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, affiliate, agent, financing source, attorney or Representative or assignee of any Contracting Party, or any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, affiliate, agent, financing source, attorney or Representative or assignee of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity or otherwise, or granted by statute or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or any other theory or doctrine, including alter ego or otherwise) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or their negotiation, execution, performance, or breach, except with respect to willful misconduct or common law fraud against the person who committed such willful misconduct or common law fraud, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law; and each party hereto waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Nonparty Affiliates are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 10.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Contracting Parties or any Nonparty Affiliate shall be responsible or liable for any multiple, consequential, indirect, special, statutory, exemplary or punitive damages which may be alleged as a result of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other agreement referenced herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder, or the termination or abandonment of any of the foregoing.
