Article I

Section 1.01 Closing Transactions. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the following transactions shall occur in the order set forth in this Section 1.01:

(a) At least one day prior to the Closing Date, the Parties shall cause the Domestication to be consummated in accordance with Section 7.21, including the filing of the certificate of corporate domestication and the certificate of incorporation of Purchaser with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

(c) At the Merger Effective Time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, Merger Sub and the Purchaser shall consummate the Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Purchaser, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Purchaser shall continue as the surviving corporation after the Merger and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco, with the effects set forth in Section 1.02 and Section 1.03.

(d) Immediately following the Merger Effective Time, each Seller shall contribute, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Pubco, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens arising under the Company A&R Operating Agreement, the Pubco Charter, the Pubco Bylaws and restrictions on transfer under securities-related Law), the number of Company Common Units set forth opposite such Seller’s name on the Exchange Schedule, which (i) in the case of each Direct Pubco Seller shall be all of the Company Common Units held or received by such Direct Pubco Seller pursuant to the Recapitalization and (ii) in the case of each Up-C Seller shall be the scheduled portion of such Up-C Seller’s Company Common Units, with such Up-C Seller retaining the balance of such Up-C Seller’s Company Common Units, in exchange for, on a one-for-one basis, (A) in the case of each Seller (other than any Seller so designated on the Exchange Schedule), a number of shares of Pubco Class A-1 Common Stock equal to the number of Company Common Units so contributed by such Seller and (B) in the case of any Seller so designated on the Exchange Schedule, a number of shares of Pubco Class A-2 Common Stock equal to the number of Company Common Units so contributed by such Seller, in each case upon the terms set forth in this Agreement, the Requisite Member Approval, the Closing Member Schedule and the Exchange Schedule (the “Seller Contributions”); provided, that, with respect to each Up-C Seller, the scheduled portion of such Up-C Seller’s Company Common Units to be contributed pursuant to this Section 1.01(d) shall be equal to one percent (1%) of the Company Common Units held by such Up-C Seller immediately following the Recapitalization (the “Default Contribution Percentage”).

For the avoidance of doubt, no holder of Series B Preferred Units shall, solely by virtue of holding Series B Preferred Units and participating in the Preferred Contributions, be deemed to be an Up-C Seller, a Class B Subscriber or an Exchange Party, in each case unless such holder is separately a holder of retained Company Common Units following the Recapitalization and the Seller Contributions and is so designated on the Closing Member Schedule and the Exchange Schedule. No fractional shares of Pubco Convertible Preferred Stock, or certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Pubco Convertible Preferred Stock, will be issued upon the Preferred Contributions.

(m) Immediately following the transactions described in Section 1.01(l), Purchaser shall contribute to the Company an amount in cash equal to the remaining Available Purchaser Closing Cash contributed to Purchaser by Pubco pursuant to Section 1.01(l) (such contributions from Purchaser to the Company, the “Closing Date Cash Contributions”), in exchange for (x) a number of additional Company Common Units and (y) a number of additional Series B Preferred Units, in each case as set forth on the Closing Member Schedule and on the Exchange Schedule.

For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the aggregate consideration to be received in respect of the Transactions by the Sellers shall be equal to (and in no event shall exceed) the Aggregate Consideration, and the paired non-economic voting shares of Pubco Class B-1 Common Stock and Pubco Class B-2 Common Stock purchased by Up-C Sellers pursuant to this Section 1.01(n) shall not constitute Aggregate Consideration, and (y) no Direct Pubco Seller shall purchase or receive any Pubco Class B-1 Common Stock or Pubco Class B-2 Common Stock in connection with the Transactions, and no Direct Pubco Seller shall be an Exchange Party or retain any Company Common Units. The aggregate number of Company Common Units, Series B Preferred Units and the number of Company Common Units issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants (and the exercise price per Common Unit of such Series B Warrants) held by Purchaser following the foregoing transactions shall mirror the aggregate number of shares of Pubco Class A-1 Common Stock and Pubco Class A-2 Common Stock, the aggregate number of shares of Pubco Convertible Preferred Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Pubco Class A-1 Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Preferred Investor Warrants (and the exercise price per share of Pubco Class A-1 Common Stock of such Preferred Investor Warrants), respectively, issued and outstanding immediately following the Closing.

(o) Simultaneously with the Closing, (i) the Up-C Sellers, the Company, Purchaser and Pubco shall execute and deliver the Company A&R Operating Agreement, (ii) the Company, Purchaser, Pubco and each Person designated on the Closing Member Schedule as a Participating TRA Holder shall execute and deliver the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (iii) the Parties shall execute and deliver, and the Parties shall cause to be executed and delivered, each other Ancillary Document required by this Agreement to be executed and delivered at or in connection with the Closing.

Section 1.02 Effective Time of the Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, on the Closing Date, Purchaser, Merger Sub and Pubco shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger in the form to be agreed by the Purchaser and the Company (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at such later time as may be specified in the Certificate of Merger and agreed in writing by the Purchaser and the Company (such time, the “Merger Effective Time”).

Section 1.03 Effects of the Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, at the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of any Party or the holders of any securities of Purchaser, the following shall occur:

(a) Each share of Domesticated Purchaser Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (other than any shares described in Section 1.03(c)) shall automatically be cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive one share of Pubco Class A-1 Common Stock, following which all such shares of Domesticated Purchaser Class A Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall cease to exist by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of any Party or the holders thereof. Each former holder of Domesticated Purchaser Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of Pubco Class A-1 Common Stock issuable in respect thereof in accordance with this Section 1.03(a).

(b) Each Domesticated Purchaser Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall automatically be assumed by Pubco and shall thereafter, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of any Party or the holders thereof, constitute a Pubco Warrant, and the rights and obligations of Purchaser under the Warrant Agreement shall be irrevocably assigned to, and assumed by, Pubco pursuant to the Warrant Assumption Agreement.

(c) Any shares of Domesticated Purchaser Class A Common Stock or other capital stock of Purchaser that are owned, immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, by Purchaser (including as treasury shares), Pubco or Merger Sub shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

(d) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall automatically be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of Purchaser (as the surviving corporation in the Merger), which shares shall, immediately following the Merger Effective Time, constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of Purchaser and shall be held by Pubco, with the result that Purchaser shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger and as a direct, wholly owned Subsidiary of Pubco.

(e) From and after the Merger Effective Time, each certificate (or book-entry position) previously evidencing Domesticated Purchaser Class A Common Stock (other than any shares described in Section 1.03(c)) shall represent only the right to receive the shares of Pubco Class A-1 Common Stock issuable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.03(a), and shall be exchanged for such Pubco Class A-1 Common Stock (in book-entry form or, if requested, by certificate) upon the surrender of such certificate or the delivery of customary instructions, in each case in accordance with reasonable and customary exchange-agent procedures established by Pubco and reasonably acceptable to the Company. If any certificate (or book-entry position) for Pubco Class A-1 Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the corresponding Domesticated Purchaser Class A Common Stock is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the certificate or position so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer in proper form and that the Person requesting such issuance shall have paid to Pubco (or any agent designated by it) any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance to a Person other than the registered holder, or established to the satisfaction of Pubco that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.03, none of Pubco, Purchaser, Merger Sub, or any other Party shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid or delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) At the Merger Effective Time, the effects of the Merger shall be as set forth herein and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject thereto, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub shall vest in Purchaser as the surviving corporation, and all debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of Purchaser as the surviving corporation.

(h) At the Merger Effective Time, (i) the certificate of incorporation of Purchaser in effect immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be amended and restated to read in the form to be agreed by the Purchaser and the Company prior to the Closing, and as so amended and restated shall be the certificate of incorporation of Purchaser (as the surviving corporation) until thereafter further amended in accordance with applicable Law and the terms of such certificate of incorporation, (ii) the bylaws of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be the bylaws of Purchaser (as the surviving corporation) until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law, such bylaws and the certificate of incorporation of the surviving corporation, and (iii) the initial directors and officers of Purchaser (as the surviving corporation) shall be designated by the Company, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected, designated or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

Section 1.04 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Pubco Class A-1 Common Stock, or certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Pubco Class A-1 Common Stock, will be issued upon the conversion of the Domesticated Purchaser Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger, and any such fractional shares or interests therein will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of Pubco. Any fractional shares of Pubco Class A-1 Common Stock will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Section 1.05 Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Company and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amount required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law; provided, that if the Purchaser, Pubco, Merger Sub or the Company determines that any payment hereunder (other than any compensatory payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement) is subject to deduction and/or withholding, then such Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Person in respect of whom such amounts are intended to be deducted or withheld as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the payment recipient with reasonable opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the relevant Parties in good faith to avoid or minimize such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. In the case of any such payment payable to employees of the Target Companies in connection with the Transactions contemplated hereby that is treated as compensation, the relevant Parties shall cooperate to pay such amounts through the applicable Target Company’s payroll to facilitate applicable withholding.

Section 1.06 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date, upon the reasonable written request of any Party, each Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments and documents, and take such additional action, to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the Transactions and carry out the purpose of this Agreement.

Section 3.14  Intellectual Property.

(a) Section 3.14(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, accurate and complete list of all: (i) registered or issued Intellectual Property and applications for registration of Intellectual Property, and (ii) material unregistered Intellectual Property (including material Company Software), in each case of (i) and (ii), owned (whether exclusively, jointly with another Person or otherwise) or licensed by a Target Company or otherwise used or held for use by a Target Company, or, as applicable, filed by a Target Company, in which a Target Company has or purports to have an exclusive interest of any nature, specifying as to each item, as applicable: (A) the nature of the item, including the title, (B) the owner of the item, (C) the jurisdictions in which the item is issued or registered or in which an application for issuance or registration has been filed and (D) the issuance, registration or application numbers and dates (collectively, the “Company Registered IP”). Each item of Company Registered IP is subsisting, and to the Knowledge of the Company, valid and enforceable (subject to registration or issuance requirements for enforcement), and has not (1) been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, or (2) challenged in any interference, opposition, reissue, reexamination, revocation or equivalent proceeding, and no such proceeding has been threatened in writing with respect to any such Company Registered IP. To the Knowledge of the Company, all registration, maintenance and renewal fees in connection with such Company Registered IP are current and have been paid, and all required documents, recordations and certificates in connection with all material Company Registered IP are current and have been filed with the relevant patent, copyright, trademark or other authorities in the relevant jurisdictions, for the purpose of prosecuting, maintaining and perfecting such Company Registered IP and recording the applicable Target Company’s ownership interests therein.

(b)  Each Target Company is the sole and exclusive owner of each item of Owned Intellectual Property, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens or any Liens set forth on Section 3.14(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter), or otherwise has valid and enforceable rights to use, sell, license, transfer or assign, as currently used, sold, licensed, transferred or assigned in the business of such Target Company, all Intellectual Property and IT Assets used in, licensed by, or necessary to conduct the business of, such Target Company, in each case, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). Except as set forth on Section 3.14(b)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter, there is no Intellectual Property owned by any third party that (i) is required by any of the Target Companies to conduct its business as currently conducted and (ii) the Target Company is not currently authorized to use, or which Target Company will not be authorized or permitted to use as a result of the execution, delivery, consummation, or performance of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) The Company IP Licenses grant each Target Company all rights and permissions reasonably necessary or useful to operate the businesses of the Target Companies as currently conducted. Each Target Company has performed, in all material respects, all obligations imposed on it in the Company IP Licenses, has made all payments required to date, and such Target Company is not, nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, is any other party thereto, in material breach or default thereunder, nor has any event occurred that with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a material default thereunder. The continued use by the Target Companies of the Company IP in the manner that it is currently being used by the applicable Target Company is permitted by the applicable Company IP License governing such use. To the Knowledge of the Company, there are no facts, circumstances, or information that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect, limit, restrict, impair, or impede the ability of any of the Target Companies to use or practice the Company IP used in or necessary for the conduct or operation of the business of any of the Target Companies upon the Closing in the same manner as currently used and practiced by each Target Company. No Target Company is party to any Contract that requires a Target Company to assign to any Person any or all of its rights in any Intellectual Property developed by a Target Company under such Contract.

(d) Each Target Company has performed all material obligations imposed on it in each Company IP License under which a Target Company is the licensor (each, an “Outbound IP License”), and such Target Company is not, nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, is any other party thereto, in material breach or default thereunder, nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, has any event occurred that with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a material default thereunder.

(e) No Legal Proceeding is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing (and no written claim has been received in the past six (6) years) against a Target Company that challenges the validity, enforceability, scope, ownership, or right to use, sell, license or sublicense, or that otherwise relates to, any Company IP, nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, is there any reasonable basis for any such Legal Proceeding. In the past six (6) years, no Target Company has received any written, or to the Knowledge of the Company, oral, notice or claim asserting that a Target Company, the operation of the business of any Target Company, or the Company’s use of any Intellectual Property infringes, misappropriates, dilutes, or otherwise violates the Intellectual Property of any Person, nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, is there a reasonable basis therefor. Except as set forth on Section 3.14(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter, there are no pending or outstanding Orders that (i) materially restrict the rights of a Target Company to use, transfer, license, register, or enforce any Owned Intellectual Property, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other Company IP, (ii) restrict the conduct of the business of a Target Company as a result of restrictions relating to a third Person’s Intellectual Property, or (iii) other than the Outbound IP Licenses, grant any third Person any right with respect to any Owned Intellectual Property. Each Target Company, the operation of the business of each Target Company, and the use of any Intellectual Property in connection therewith, is not currently infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating, and has not in the past six (6) years infringed, misappropriated or violated any Intellectual Property of any other Person, including rights of privacy, publicity and endorsement. To the Knowledge of the Company, in the past six (6) years, no third party has infringed upon, misappropriated or otherwise violated any Company IP in any material respect.

(f) No current or former officers, employees, agents, consultants, or independent contractors of a Target Company has claimed or asserted in writing any ownership interest in or to any Owned Intellectual Property. To the Knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of any Target Company is obligated under any Contract, or subject to any Order, that would materially conflict with the business of any Target Company as currently conducted with respect to the ownership, development, use or exploitation of any Owned Intellectual Property.

(g) Each Target Company has taken commercially reasonable efforts and implemented security measures designed to maintain the security of all material confidential Owned Intellectual Property, including measures designed to protect the secrecy and confidentiality and value thereof. All Persons (including each past and present employee, agent, consultant and contractor who are or were privy to any Trade Secrets or who have participated in or contributed to the creation or development of any material Owned Intellectual Property) in the course of their employment or retention, have executed and delivered written agreements pursuant to which such Person has, respectively, agreed to hold all Trade Secrets of the Target Company (or of another Person and held by the Target Company) in confidence both during and after such Person’s employment or retention, as applicable, and all of such Person’s ownership interest in and to any material Owned Intellectual Property created or developed for the Target Company in the course of such Person’s employment or retention thereby has been irrevocably assigned (by a present tense assignment) to the Target Companies (or all such right, title, and interest has otherwise vested in the Target Companies by operation of Law). To the Knowledge of the Company, no Person is in breach of any such agreement and there is no uncured breach by any such Person with respect to their obligations under any such written agreement.

(h) No Open Source Software is or has been included, incorporated or embedded in or linked to any Company Software in a manner that, as a condition of or in connection with any use, modification, reproduction, or distribution of such Open Source Software (or any Company Software or other Owned Intellectual Property that is used by, incorporated into or includes, relies on, is linked to, is derived from, or is distributed with, such Open Source Software), requires any Target Company to: (i) disclose, make available, distribute, license, offer, deliver, or otherwise make available to any Person (including the open source community) any source code or any information regarding such Company Software or other Owned Intellectual Property; (ii) license or otherwise grant permission regarding any such Company Software or other Owned Intellectual Property for making modifications thereto or derivative works thereof; (iii) disclose, make available, distribute, license, offer, deliver, or otherwise make available to any Person any such Company Software or other Owned Intellectual Property for no or nominal charge; (iv) grant a license, whether express, implied, by virtue of estoppel or otherwise, to any third party under any Intellectual Property (including Patents) regarding any such Company Software or other Owned Intellectual Property (whether alone or in combination with other hardware or Software); or (v) impose restrictions on future patent licensing terms, assertion or enforcement of any Intellectual Property through any means (each of (i) – (v), a “Copyleft Action”). No Person other than the Target Companies has an actual or contingent right to access or possess (including pursuant to escrow), a copy in any form of any source code for any Company Software and all such source code is in their sole possession and has been maintained as strictly confidential. Each Target Company is in compliance in all material respects with the terms and conditions of all applicable licenses for all Open Source Software used in its respective business, including notice and attribution obligations.

(i) Section 3.14(i)(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth each Contract with a Governmental Authority under which any Owned Intellectual Property was developed or delivered and under which such Governmental Authority has obtained or may have obtained unlimited rights, march-in rights, government-purpose rights, or other rights beyond minimum rights/limited rights (as such terms are used in the FAR or DFARS) in any material Owned Intellectual Property to the Target Companies, taken as a whole. Except as disclosed on Section 3.14(i)(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, none of the rights granted or required to be granted to any Governmental Authority under any Contract set forth (or required to be set forth) on Section 3.14(i)(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, including any unlimited rights, march-in rights, or government-purpose rights, adversely affect, limit, restrict, impair, or impede, in any material respect, the ability of any Target Company to use, practice, exploit, license, transfer, or commercialize any Owned Intellectual Property developed or delivered in connection with the performance of any such Contract. Except as disclosed on Section 3.14(i)(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, no government funding and no facility of a university, college, other educational institution, or similar institution, or research center was used in the development of any item of Owned Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property exclusively licensed to any Target Company, nor does any such Person have any rights, title, or interest in or to any item of Owned Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property exclusively licensed to any Target Company.

(j) To the Knowledge of the Company (after reasonable inquiry of the Company’s information security personnel), in the past three (3) years: (i) no Person has obtained unauthorized access to information and data (including personally identifiable information) in the possession of a Target Company or in their control, or otherwise held or processed on their behalf, nor has there been any material loss or damage, unauthorized disclosure or use, breach of security, or other material compromise of the security, confidentiality or integrity of such information or data; and (ii) no Target Company has experienced any material information security incident that has compromised the integrity or availability of the information technology, operational technology, or software applications the Target Companies own or operate, or the information or data thereon. In the past three (3) years, no material complaint relating to an improper use or disclosure of, or a breach in the security of, any such information or data has been received in writing by a Target Company nor has a Target Company been required by applicable law, regulation, or contract to notify, any person or entity of any personal data or information security-related incident. In the past three (3) years, each Target Company has complied in all material respects with all applicable Laws and Contract requirements relating to privacy, personal data protection, cybersecurity and the collection, processing and use of personal information. Each Target Company has implemented commercially reasonable security policies (a) regarding the collection, use, disclosure, retention, processing, transfer, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data (including personally identifiable information) and business proprietary or sensitive information, in its possession or control, or held or processed on its behalf, and (b) regarding the integrity and availability of the information technology, operational technology, and software applications the Target Company owns or operates.

(k) Except as set forth on Section 3.14(k) of the Company Disclosure Letter, each Target Company is not obligated under any Contract to make any payments by way of royalties, fees, or otherwise to any owner or licensor of, or other claimant to, any Intellectual Property.

(l) To the Knowledge of the Company, the IT Assets do not contain any malware, viruses, malicious code, “worms,” “Trojan horses,” “back doors,” or other errors, vulnerabilities, or unauthorized tools or scripts that could reasonably be expected to (i) adversely impact the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the IT Assets, or (ii) enable or assist any Person to access without authorization, any IT Assets.

(m) Each Target Company owns, or has a valid right to access and use pursuant to a written agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include standard click-through agreements), all IT Assets owned, leased, licensed, or outsourced, or otherwise used or held for use by or for such Target Company to process, store, maintain and operate data, information and functions that are material to and used in connection with the business of the Target Companies as currently conducted. The IT Assets operate and perform as required by the Target Companies for the operation of the business of the Target Companies and are reasonably sufficient for the current operation of the business of the Target Companies. In the past six (6) years, there have been no failures, breakdowns, continued substandard performance or other adverse events affecting any such IT Assets that have caused any substantial disruption or interruption in or to the use of such IT Assets or the conduct of the business of the Target Companies. Each Target Company does not use, and has not in the past used, any AI/ML tools in its business in a manner that would adversely affect such Target Company’s ownership or other rights therein.

(n) The execution, delivery, consummation, or performance of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, with or without notice or lapse of time, result in the material impairment, alteration, breach, default, modification, extinguishment, cancellation, termination, suspension of, or acceleration of any material payments with respect to, or release of Company IP under any Company IP License or any other Contract required to be set forth in Section 3.13 of the Company Disclosure Letter, or give any other Person the right or option to cause or declare any of the foregoing (including a loss of, or Lien on, any Owned Intellectual Property). Following the Closing, each Target Company shall be permitted to exercise, directly or indirectly through its Subsidiaries, all of the Target Companies’ rights under such Contracts or Company IP Licenses in substantially the same manner that the Target Companies would have been able to exercise had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred, without any consent, notification, approval, waiver, or payment or grant of any additional amounts or consideration other than ongoing fees, royalties or payments which the Target Companies would otherwise be required to pay in the absence of such transactions.

Section 3.15 Taxes and Returns. Except in each case as set forth on Section 3.15 of the Company Disclosure Letter:

All of the Purchaser SEC Reports, Additional Purchaser SEC Reports, any correspondence from or to the SEC or the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) (other than such correspondence in connection with the IPO of the Purchaser) and all certifications and statements required by: (i) Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 under the Exchange Act; or (ii) 18 U.S.C. § 1350 (Section 906) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Public Certifications”) are available on the SEC’s Electronic Data-Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (EDGAR) in full without redaction. The Purchaser SEC Reports were, and the Additional Purchaser SEC Reports will be, prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Purchaser SEC Reports did not, and the Additional Purchaser SEC Reports will not, at the time they were or are filed (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date, then on the date of such filing), as the case may be, with the SEC contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each director and executive officer of Purchaser has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all statements required with respect to Purchaser by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Public Certifications are, or will be, each true and correct as of their respective dates of filing. As used in this Section 6.06, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC or Nasdaq.

(b) The financial statements and notes contained or incorporated by reference in the Purchaser SEC Reports fairly present, and the financial statements and notes to be contained in or to be incorporated by reference in the Additional Purchaser SEC Reports will fairly present, the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Purchaser as at the respective dates of, and for the periods referred to, in such financial statements, all in accordance with: (i) GAAP; and (ii) Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments and the omission of notes to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable.

(c) The Purchaser has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the Purchaser SEC Reports. No financial statements other than those of the Purchaser are required by GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Purchaser.

(d) The issued and outstanding Cayman Purchaser Units are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “IPFXU.” The issued and outstanding Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “IPFX.” The issued and outstanding Purchaser Public Warrants are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “IPFXW.” The Purchaser is a listed company in good standing with Nasdaq and, since the consummation of the IPO, Purchaser has complied in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of Nasdaq. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened in writing against the Purchaser by Nasdaq or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Cayman Purchaser Units, the Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares or the Purchaser Public Warrants or terminate the listing of the Purchaser on Nasdaq. Except in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents, none of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to terminate the registration of the Cayman Purchaser Units, the Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares or Purchaser Public Warrants under the Exchange Act.

(e) Except as not required in reliance on exemptions from various reporting requirements by virtue of Purchaser’s status as an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), Purchaser has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to Purchaser is made known to Purchaser’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared. Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting Purchaser’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to material information required to be included in Purchaser’s periodic reports required under the Exchange Act. Since the consummation of the IPO, Purchaser has established and maintained a system of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of Purchaser’s financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements included in the Purchaser SEC Reports for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Section 6.07 Absence of Certain Changes. As of the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser has, since the date of its incorporation, (a) conducted no business other than its incorporation, the public offering of its securities (and the related private offerings), public reporting and its search for an initial Business Combination as described in the IPO Prospectus (including the investigation of the Target Companies and the negotiation and execution of this Agreement) and related activities and (b) not been subject to a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.08 Undisclosed Liabilities.

There is no pending or, to the Knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened Legal Proceeding to which the Purchaser is subject that would reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect. There is no material Legal Proceeding that the Purchaser has pending against any other Person. The Purchaser is not subject to any material Orders of any Governmental Authority, nor are any such Orders pending. The Purchaser holds all material Permits necessary to lawfully conduct its business as presently conducted, and to own, lease and operate its assets and properties, all of which are in full force and effect, except where the failure to hold such Consent or for such Consent to be in full force and effect would not reasonably be expected to have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

As of the IPO closing on March 30, 2026, an aggregate amount of $253,000,000 (which amount included $12,045,000 of deferred underwriting discount) was deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Purchaser’s Public Shareholders and certain other Persons (the “Trust Account”), and as of the date of this Agreement the funds in the Trust Account are held in cash or invested in United States government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, in each case pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2026, by and between Purchaser and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Trust Agreement”).

As of the Closing, the obligations of Purchaser to dissolve or liquidate pursuant to Purchaser Organizational Documents shall terminate, and as of the Closing, Purchaser shall have no obligation whatsoever pursuant to Purchaser Organizational Documents to dissolve and liquidate the assets of Purchaser by reason of the consummation of the Transactions. To Purchaser’s Knowledge, as of the date hereof, following the Closing, no Purchaser Shareholder shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account except to the extent such Purchaser Shareholder is exercising its option to redeem Domesticated Purchaser Class A Common Stock in connection with the Redemption. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder, the Purchaser does not have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or that funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to Purchaser on the Closing Date.

Section 6.15 Finders and Brokers. Except as set forth on Section 6.15 of the Purchaser Disclosure Letter, no broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to, nor will be entitled to, either directly or indirectly, any brokerage fee, finder’s fee or other similar commission, for which any Purchaser Party (or Sponsor on behalf of a Purchaser Party) would be liable in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by any Purchaser Party or any of their Affiliates.

Each Party shall keep the others promptly informed of the status of any such inquiries, proposals, offers or requests for information. During the Interim Period, each Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall, and shall direct its Representatives to, cease and terminate any such solicitations, discussions or negotiations.

Section 7.07 No Trading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that it is aware, and that the Company’s Affiliates are aware (and each of their respective Representatives is aware or, upon receipt of any material non-public information of the Purchaser, will be advised), of the restrictions imposed by U.S. federal securities Laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq promulgated thereunder, or otherwise (the “Federal Securities Laws”), and other applicable foreign and domestic Laws on a Person possessing material non-public information about a publicly traded company. The Company hereby agrees that, while it is in possession of such material non-public information, it shall not, it shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and it shall instruct its other Affiliates and Representatives not to, purchase or sell any securities of the Purchaser (unless otherwise explicitly contemplated by this Agreement), communicate such information to any third party, take any other action with respect to the Purchaser in violation of such Laws or cause or encourage any third party to do any of the foregoing.

During the Interim Period, each Party shall give prompt notice to the other Parties if such Party or its Affiliates: (a) receives any notice or other communication in writing from any third party (including any Governmental Authority) alleging (i) that the Consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with the Transactions or (ii) any non-compliance with any Law by such Party or its Affiliates; (b) receives any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions; or (c) becomes aware of the commencement or threat, in writing, of any Legal Proceeding against such Party or any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective properties or assets, or, to the Knowledge of such Party, any officer, director, partner, member or manager (in his, her or its capacity as such) of such Party or of its Affiliates, in each case with respect to the consummation of the Transactions. No such notice shall constitute an acknowledgment or admission by the Party providing the notice regarding whether or not any of the conditions to the Closing have been satisfied or in determining whether or not any of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement have been breached. In the event that any litigation related to this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or the Transactions is brought, or, to the knowledge of the Parties, respectively, threatened, against such Party, or the board of directors (or similar governing body) of such Party or any of its Subsidiaries, respectively, by a third party prior to the Closing, such Party shall promptly notify the other Parties of any such litigation and keep the other Parties reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. Each Party shall provide the other Parties the opportunity to participate in (subject to a customary joint defense agreement), but not control, the defense of any such litigation, shall give due consideration to the other Parties’ advice with respect to such litigation, and shall not settle or agree to settle any such litigation without the prior written consent of the other Parties, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 7.09 Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall cooperate reasonably with the other Parties, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and regulations to consummate the Transactions (including the receipt of all applicable Consents of Governmental Authorities) and to comply as promptly as practicable with all requirements of Governmental Authorities applicable to the Transactions.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 7.09(a), to the extent required under any Laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of competition through merger or acquisition, including but not limited to under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR Act”) (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”), each Party hereto agrees to make any required filing or application under Antitrust Laws, as applicable, at such Party’s sole cost and expense (except that any fees or other amounts charged by any Governmental Authorities relating to such filings or applications will be paid by the Purchaser and the Company on a 50/50 basis), with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable (but in any event, within 15 business days of executing this Agreement for filings under the HSR Act), to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be reasonably requested pursuant to Antitrust Laws and to take all other actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable, including by requesting early termination of the waiting period provided for under the Antitrust Laws. Each Party shall, in connection with its efforts to obtain all requisite approvals and authorizations for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Antitrust Law, use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) cooperate in all respects with each other Party or its Affiliates in connection with any required filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private Person; (ii) keep the other Parties reasonably informed of any communication received by such Party or its Representatives from, or given by such Party or its Representatives to, any Governmental Authority and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) permit a Representative of the other Parties and their respective outside counsel to review any communication given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, any Governmental Authority or, in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority or other Person, give a Representative or Representatives of the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; (iv) in the event a Party’s Representative is prohibited from participating in or attending any meetings or conferences, the other Parties shall keep such Party promptly and reasonably apprised with respect thereto; and (v) use reasonable best efforts to cooperate in the filing of any memoranda, white papers, filings, correspondence or other written communications explaining or defending the transactions contemplated hereby, articulating any regulatory or competitive argument, and/or responding to requests or objections made by any Governmental Authority.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with Governmental Authorities any requests for approval, to the extent applicable or required, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall use their reasonable best efforts to have such Governmental Authorities approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Parties if such Party or any of its Representatives receives any notice from such Governmental Authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall promptly furnish the other Parties with a copy of such Governmental Authority notice. If any Governmental Authority requires that a hearing or meeting be held in connection with its approval of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether prior to the Closing or after the Closing, each Party shall arrange for Representatives of such Party to be present for such hearing or meeting. If any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any applicable Law or if any Legal Proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by any applicable Governmental Authority or any private Person challenging any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document as violative of any applicable Law or which would otherwise prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objections or Legal Proceedings so as to timely permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, including in order to resolve such objections or Legal Proceedings which, in any case if not resolved, could reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. In the event any Legal Proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority or private Person challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any Ancillary Document, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with each other and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such Legal Proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents.

Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII and provision of notice thereof to the Trustee (which notice the Purchaser shall provide to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement), (i) in accordance with and pursuant to the Trust Agreement, at the Closing, the Purchaser (A) shall cause any documents, opinions and notices required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement to be so delivered and (B) shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall thereupon be obligated to, (1) pay as and when due all amounts payable to the Purchaser Shareholders pursuant to the Redemption and (2) pay all remaining amounts then available in the Trust Account, after payment of Purchaser Transaction Costs subject to the Purchaser Expense Cap, to the Purchaser for immediate use, subject to this Agreement and the Trust Agreement, and (ii) thereafter, the Trust Account shall terminate, except as otherwise provided therein.

Section 7.11 Tax Matters.

(a) The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that, for U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income Tax purposes, it is intended that (i) the contribution by Series B Investors of the Series B Investment to the Company in exchange for Series B Preferred Units shall qualify as a contribution to a partnership described in Section 721 of the Code, (ii) the Sponsor Share Conversion shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code, (iii) the Domestication shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, (iv) the Merger, the Seller Contributions, the Preferred Contributions and the PIPE Investment shall, taken together as an integrated transaction, qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code, (v) to the extent the 368 Requirement (as defined below) is satisfied and to the extent permitted under applicable Law, the Merger shall also qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, (vi) the Pubco Class B-1 Common Stock and the Pubco Class B-2 Common Stock shall be treated as having a fair market value equal to the amount paid by the applicable Up-C Seller, (vii) the contribution by Pubco to Purchaser of its Company Common Units, Series B Preferred Units, and cash shall qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code, and (viii) the Closing Date Cash Contributions shall qualify as a contribution to a partnership described in Section 721 of the Code (each, an “Intended Tax Treatment” and, collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatments”), and that this Agreement constitutes, and hereby is adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). For purposes of this Agreement, the “368 Requirement” shall be satisfied if the amount of cash in the Trust Account immediately following the deduction of amounts required to satisfy the Redemption is not less than fifty percent (50%) of the cash in the Trust Account immediately prior to such deduction. No Party shall knowingly take or knowingly cause to be taken, or knowingly fail to take or knowingly cause to be failed to be taken, any action if such action or failure to act, as the case may be, would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the relevant portions of the Transactions from qualifying for their respective Intended Tax Treatments. The Parties hereby agree to file all Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Intended Tax Treatments unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or a change in applicable Law. Each Party agrees to use reasonable best efforts to promptly notify all other Parties of any challenge to the qualification of any relevant portion of the Transactions for its Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental Authority.

(b) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, excise, recording, value-added and other such similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) (i) imposed with respect to the Redemptions, the Sponsor Share Conversion, the Domestication and the Merger shall be borne and paid by Pubco, and (ii) imposed with respect to the Transactions not described in clause (i) shall be borne and paid by the relevant Target Companies. The Party responsible pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall, at their own expense, timely file all necessary Tax Returns or other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes and, if required by applicable Law, the other Parties shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns or other documentation.

(c) With respect to any Tax Proceeding of any Target Company treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date and that is governed under subchapter C of Chapter 63 of the Code, as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law), the Company (i) shall, and shall cause its eligible Subsidiaries to, timely make an election under Section 6226 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) in accordance with applicable Law (and the Sellers expressly consent to, and shall reasonably cooperate in the making of, all such elections), or (ii) shall make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Pubco for each Seller to bear the economic burden of any “imputed underpayment” and any associated interest, adjustments to tax and penalties (or similar liability imposed under other provisions of state, local or non-U.S. Law) attributable to such Seller, as applicable. The Seller Tax Representative shall have the right (but not the obligation) to control any such Tax Proceeding; provided, that Pubco shall have the right to participate in (at Pubco’s expense) any such Tax Proceeding, and the Seller Tax Representative shall not settle, compromise, concede, amend any Tax Return or fail to contest, and shall not cause to be settled or failed to be contested, any such Tax Proceeding in a manner that is reasonably expected to materially adversely affect Pubco without the prior written consent of Pubco (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Seller Tax Representative does not elect to control such Tax Proceeding, Pubco shall (W) keep the Seller Tax Representative reasonably informed of any such Tax Proceeding, (X) allow the Seller Tax Representative to participate in (at the Sellers’ expense) any such Tax Proceeding, (Y) allow the Seller Tax Representative to make reasonable comments to Pubco and the Company’s “partnership representative” regarding such Tax Proceeding and shall consider in good faith incorporating any such comments, and (Z) not cause to be settled any such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Seller Tax Representative (which consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Company shall, and shall cause all of its eligible Subsidiaries to, make or cause to remain in effect, as applicable, a valid election under Section 754 of the Code (and any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) for any taxable period that includes the Closing Date, and shall provide Pubco with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Pubco that each such election is valid, timely and effective.

(d) The Purchaser and the Target Companies shall terminate or cause to be terminated any and all Tax sharing, allocation, indemnification or similar agreements, arrangements or undertakings to which the Target Companies or the Purchaser, as applicable, are a party, are bound by or have an obligation thereunder (other than customary commercial agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business the primary purpose of which is not the sharing of Taxes, and excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company A&R Operating Agreement and the Tax Receivable Agreement) in effect, whether written or unwritten, on the Closing Date for any Tax liability of another Person, regardless of the period in which such Tax liability arises, and there shall be no continuing obligation for the Target Companies or the Purchaser, as applicable, to make any payments under any such agreements, arrangements or undertakings.

(e) Each Party shall reasonably cooperate (and shall cause its Affiliates to reasonably cooperate), as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Parties, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns of the Target Companies and any Tax Proceeding of the Target Companies. Such cooperation shall include the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Following the Closing, the Purchaser, the Sellers and the Company shall (and the Company shall cause the other Target Companies to) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Target Companies for any taxable period beginning on or prior to the Closing Date until the seven (7)-year anniversary of the Closing Date. The Sellers shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates (other than the Purchaser or the Target Companies after the Closing) to) provide any information within their possession that is reasonably requested to allow the Purchaser, Pubco, or any Target Company (i) to comply with any information-reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Tax Law, or to compute the amount of payroll or other employment Taxes due with respect to any payment made in connection with this Agreement, or (ii) to determine, support or report any capital account, Tax basis, holding period, Section 704(c) amount, Section 743(b) adjustment, Section 751 amount, Section 754 election, TRA schedule, Tax attribute, withholding position or other Tax item relevant to the Transactions or the post-Closing ownership and operation of the Company. In addition, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate, to the extent reasonably requested by the Party controlling a Tax Proceeding pursuant to Section 7.11(c), in connection with the designation or replacement of the “partnership representative” (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code, or any analogous provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) of any Target Company treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable period that is the subject of such Tax Proceeding, including by executing any documents or instruments reasonably necessary to effectuate such designation or replacement in accordance with applicable Law.

(f) Following the Closing Date, Pubco shall reasonably cooperate with the shareholders of the Purchaser prior to the Closing Date to make available to any such shareholder who so requests information reasonably necessary for such shareholder (or its direct or indirect owners) to compute any income or gain arising (i) if applicable, as a result of the Purchaser’s status as a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297(a) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, including timely (A) publicly posting a PFIC Annual Information Statement to enable such holders to make a “Qualifying Electing Fund” election under Section 1295 of the Code for such taxable period, and (B) providing information to enable applicable holders to report their allocable share of “subpart F” income under Section 951 of the Code for such taxable period, and (ii) under Section 367(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder as a result of the Transactions.

(g) At or prior to the Closing, (i) if each Seller is a U.S. Person, each Seller shall deliver to Pubco a duly executed IRS Form W-9 or (ii) if any Seller is not a U.S. Person, (1) each Seller that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Pubco a duly executed IRS Form W-9, (2) the Company shall deliver to Pubco a certification dated as of the Closing Date and signed by an authorized officer of the Company under penalties of perjury, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, that, as of the Closing Date, (i) fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the gross assets of the Company does not consist of “United States real property interests” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(1) of the Code and (ii) ninety percent (90%) or more of the value of the gross assets of the Company does not consist of “United States real property interests” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(1) of the Code plus cash or cash equivalents (the “FIRPTA Certificate”), and (3) each Seller that is not a U.S. Person shall deliver to Pubco a certification, dated as of the Closing Date and signed under penalties of perjury, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, certifying that the transfer of such Seller’s interest in the Company pursuant to this Agreement qualifies for nonrecognition treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is therefore exempt from withholding under Section 1446(f) of the Code, in each case in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1446(f)-2(b)(6) (collectively, the “Section 1446(f) Certifications”).

(h) None of the Parties shall take any action, or engage in any transaction, that would result in the liquidation of Purchaser for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the taxable year including the Closing Date and the following two subsequent taxable years.

Section 7.12 Further Assurances. The Parties hereto shall further cooperate with each other and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, necessary, proper or advisable on their part under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate the Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable, including preparing and filing as soon as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings.

The filing fees payable to the SEC in connection with the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement will be split 50/50 by the Purchaser and the Company.

Pubco will notify the Company promptly if any event occurs that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Pubco under any term or condition of any PIPE Subscription Agreement or if Pubco has any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it contained in any PIPE Subscription Agreement.
