Article I
MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, and following the Domestication, Merger Sub and the Company shall consummate the Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation. The Company, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Subsidiary”; provided that references to the Company for periods after the Effective Time shall include the Surviving Subsidiary.

1.2 Effective Time. The Parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Certificate of Merger for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the time of such filing, or such later time as may be specified in the Certificate of Merger, being the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL and other applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, agreements, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Subsidiary, and all debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of Surviving Subsidiary, including in each case the rights and obligations of each such Party under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents from and after the Effective Time.

1.4 Governing Documents. The Company Charter shall, in accordance with the terms thereof and the DGCL, be amended and restated in its entirety to read in the form of the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Subsidiary shall be “NuCube Energy, Inc.”, and the incorporator provision shall be deleted, as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Subsidiary until duly amended in accordance with the terms thereof and the DGCL. The bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended at the Effective Time to read in its entirety as the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Subsidiary shall be “NuCube Energy, Inc.”, until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Subsidiary and applicable Law.

1.5 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Subsidiary. At the Effective Time, the board of directors and executive officers of the Surviving Subsidiary shall be the board of directors and executive officers of SPAC, after giving effect to Section ‎5.17, each to hold office in accordance with the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Subsidiary until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation, or removal.

1.6 Pre-Closing Company Exchanges. On or prior to the Closing Date, the holders of Company Preferred Stock shall either exchange or convert all of their issued and outstanding shares of Company Preferred Stock for shares of Company Common Stock at the applicable conversion ratio (including any accrued or declared but unpaid dividends) as set forth in the Company Charter (the “Preferred Conversion”).

1.7 Domestication of SPAC . Subject to the receipt of the approval by way of special resolution passed by the holders of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares entitled to vote thereon in accordance with SPAC’s Organizational Documents, prior to the Effective Time, SPAC shall cause the Domestication to become effective, including by (a) filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of domestication with respect to the Domestication, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to both SPAC and the Company (the “Certificate of Domestication”), together with the certificate of incorporation of SPAC, and (b) completing and making and procuring all those filings required to be made with the Cayman Islands Registrar in connection with the Domestication, including a certificate of de-registration from the Cayman Islands Registrar. The Domestication shall become effective at the time when the Certificate of Domestication has been duly filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed by SPAC and the Company in writing and set forth in the Certificate of Domestication (the “Domestication Effective Time”). At the Domestication Effective Time, by virtue of the Domestication and without any action on the part of SPAC or any holder of SPAC Securities, all of the then-issued and outstanding SPAC Securities shall be exchanged for or converted into substantially identical securities of SPAC as a Delaware corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Domestication is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. The Parties adopt this Agreement and any documents executed in connection with the Domestication as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

1.8 Merger Consideration. The purchase price to be paid by SPAC in consideration of the Merger and the Transactions to the Company Security Holders equals (a) Five Hundred Million U.S. Dollars ($500,000,000) minus (b) the excess (if any) of (x) the Company’s Expenses over (y) the Expense Threshold (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is payable to the Company Security Holders as provided in Section 1.9, with (i) each Company Stockholder receiving, for each share of Company Common Stock then held (after giving effect to the Preferred Conversion, but excluding any Company Securities described in Section ‎1.9(b)), a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, (ii) each holder of Company Options receiving for such holder’s Company Options then held, Assumed Options, and (iii) each holder of Company Warrants receiving for such holder’s Company Warrants then held, the Assumed Warrants (together, (i), (ii) and (iii) being the “Merger Consideration”). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Merger Consideration (calculated using the Reference Price) exceed the Purchase Price.

1.9 Effect of Merger on Issued Securities of the Company and Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any Company Securities or the holders of any shares of capital stock of SPAC or Merger Sub:

(a) Company Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Excluded Securities described in Section ‎1.9(c) below) will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio as described in Section ‎1.8. Any fractional share of SPAC Common Stock that would otherwise be issued to a Company Stockholder, after aggregating all such shares of SPAC Common Stock to be issued to such Company Stockholder in the Merger, shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. As of the Effective Time, each holder of Company Stock shall cease to have any other rights with respect to the Company Stock, except as otherwise required under applicable Law.

(b) Company SAFEs. Each Company SAFE that remains outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, pursuant to its terms, will be canceled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to (x) the Exchange Ratio multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) subject to such Company SAFE.

(c) Treasury Stock. At the Effective Time, if there are any Company Securities that are owned by the Company in treasury or any Company Securities owned by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, such Company Securities (collectively, the “Excluded Securities”) shall be canceled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

(d) Company Options. Each outstanding Company Option (whether vested or unvested) shall be assumed by SPAC and automatically converted into an option for shares of SPAC Common Stock (each, an “Assumed Option”). Subject to the subsequent sentence, each Assumed Option will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Company Equity Plan and any applicable individual award agreement (except any references therein to the Company or Company Common Stock will instead mean SPAC and SPAC Common Stock, respectively). Each Assumed Option shall: (i) have the right to acquire a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to (as rounded down to the nearest whole number) the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock which the Company Option had the right to acquire immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio; (ii) have an exercise price equal to (as rounded up to the nearest whole cent) the quotient of (A) the exercise price of the Company Option (in U.S. Dollars), divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; and (iii) otherwise be subject to the same terms, conditions, vesting schedule and other provisions as the applicable Company Option. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the per share exercise price and the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock purchasable pursuant to each Assumed Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Sections 409A and 424 of the Code, as applicable. SPAC shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Assumed Options remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares of SPAC Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of such Assumed Option. From and after the Closing, the Company and SPAC shall not issue any new awards under the Company Equity Plan.

(e) Company Warrants. Each Company Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by SPAC and automatically converted into a warrant for shares of SPAC Common Stock (each, an “Assumed Warrant”). Each Assumed Warrant shall: (i) have the right to acquire a number of shares of SPAC Common Stock equal to (as rounded down to the nearest whole number) the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio; (ii) have an exercise price equal to (as rounded up to the nearest whole cent) the quotient of (A) the exercise price of the Company Warrant (in U.S. Dollars), divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; and (iii) be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as the applicable Company Warrant. SPAC shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Assumed Warrants remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares of SPAC Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of such Assumed Warrant.

(f) Other Company Convertible Securities. Any other Company Convertible Security other than Company Options, Company Warrants or Company SAFEs, if not exercised or converted prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled, retired and terminated and cease to represent a right to acquire, be exchanged for or convert into shares of Company Common Stock.

(g) Merger Sub Shares. At the Effective Time, all shares of common stock of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an equal amount of shares of common stock of the Surviving Subsidiary, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only shares of capital stock in the Surviving Subsidiary.

1.10 Tax Consequences. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each of the Domestication and the Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The Parties adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

1.11 Transfer Agent Matters.

(a) Appointment of Transfer Agent. At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, SPAC shall appoint a transfer agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Transfer Agent”) (it being understood and agreed that Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, or any of its Affiliates, shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Company) on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to SPAC and the Company for the purposes of issuing the SPAC Common Stock to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration to the Company Stockholders pursuant to ‎Section ‎1.8. SPAC and the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Transfer Agent in connection with the covenants and agreements in this ‎Section ‎1.11, including the provision of any information, or the entry into any agreements or documentation, necessary or advisable, as determined in good faith by SPAC, or otherwise required by the Transfer Agent to fulfill its duties as the Transfer Agent in connection with the Transactions.

(b) Transfer Agent Procedures. At the Effective Time, SPAC shall, or shall cause the Transfer Agent to, issue the SPAC Common Stock to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration to the record holders of Company Common Stock (after giving effect to the Preferred Conversion) entitled to receive the same in book-entry form. All SPAC Common Stock issued in accordance with this ‎Section ‎1.11(b) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Subsidiary of the Company Common Stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, shares of Company Common Stock are presented to SPAC or the Surviving Subsidiary for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this ‎Section ‎1.11(b).

1.12 Closing Consideration Spreadsheet.

(a) At least three Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to SPAC a spreadsheet (the “Closing Consideration Spreadsheet”), prepared by the Company in good faith and detailing or, if not then yet known, estimating the following, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time:

(i) the number of outstanding shares of Company Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock;

(ii) the exercise price and number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable pursuant to outstanding Company Options;

(iii) the exercise price and number and series or class of shares of Company Stock issuable pursuant to each of the Company Warrants;

(iv) the aggregate amount of, and a list of, the Company’s Expenses as of the Closing;

(v) detailed calculations of (A) the Fully Diluted Company Shares, (B) the Merger Consideration, (C) the Exchange Ratio, (D) the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock to be issued in exchange for shares of Company Stock in the Merger, (E) the respective exercise prices and number of shares of SPAC Common Stock subject to each Assumed Option and (F) the respective exercise prices and number of shares of SPAC Common Stock subject to each Assumed Warrant;

(vi) each Company Security Holder’s Pro Rata Share; and

(vii) an updated Schedule A setting forth each Company Stockholder’s Earnout Participation, and the number of shares of SPAC Common Stock subject thereto, based on the Exchange Ratio.

The contents of the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet delivered by the Company hereunder shall be subject to reasonable review and comment by SPAC, but the Company shall, in all events, remain solely responsible for the contents of the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet. If any information in the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet is estimated, then at least one Business Day prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver an updated Closing Consideration Spreadsheet accompanied by a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Company to the effect that the information contained in such Closing Consideration Spreadsheet is complete and accurate in all material respects. The parties hereto agree that SPAC and Transfer Agent shall be entitled to rely on the Closing Consideration Spreadsheet in issuing SPAC Common Stock in accordance with this ‎Article I.

1.13 Earnout.

(a) At or prior to the Closing, the SPAC Representative, the Seller Representative and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or such other escrow agent mutually acceptable to SPAC and the Company), as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), shall enter into an escrow agreement, effective as of the Effective Time, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to SPAC and the Company (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which SPAC shall issue in the name of the Company Stockholders 12,575,000 shares of SPAC Common Stock, which shares shall be subject to forfeiture in whole if a Triggering Event does not occur within the time period specified herein and in part as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, and which shares shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to SPAC Common Stock occurring after the Closing (as adjusted, the “Earnout Shares”). SPAC shall deposit such Earnout Shares with the Escrow Agent to be held, along with any other dividends, distributions or other income on such Earnout Shares (together with such Earnout Shares, the “Escrow Property”), in a segregated escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) and disbursed therefrom in accordance with the terms of this Section ‎1.13 and the Escrow Agreement. The Company Stockholders shall be shown as registered owners of such Earnout Shares on the books and records of SPAC, and subject to any limitations set forth in this Section ‎1.13, shall be entitled to exercise voting rights and to receive dividends (if declared) with respect to such Earnout Shares (other than non-taxable stock dividends, which shall be included as part of the Escrow Property). The Escrow Property shall be allocated among and transferred to the Company Stockholders pro rata based on their respective Pro Rata Share (subject to adjustment as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, each such Company Stockholder’s “Earnout Participation”) as additional consideration from SPAC based on the performance of the SPAC Common Stock during the three-year period after the Closing (the “Earnout Period”) in accordance with this Section ‎1.13, which Earnout Participation shall be payable to such Company Stockholders in the form of Earnout Shares and any related dividends, distributions or other income thereon.

(b) In the event that the VWAP of the SPAC Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations and similar transactions after the Closing) (the “Share Price Target”) for at least 20 of 30 consecutive Trading Days during the Earnout Period (the “Triggering Event”), then, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Company Stockholder in whose name Earnout Shares are issued shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Account such Company Stockholder’s Earnout Participation of the Escrow Property.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change of Control of SPAC occurs during the Earnout Period and the value of the implied per share consideration to be received by holders of SPAC Common Stock in such transaction is above the Share Price Target, then, immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, to the extent not previously distributed, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Company Stockholder in whose name Earnout Shares are issued shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Account such Company Stockholder’s Earnout Participation of the Escrow Property.

(d) If the Share Price Target is satisfied, within five Business Days after the satisfaction of the Share Price Target, SPAC’s Chief Financial Officer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative and the SPAC Representative a written statement (each, an “Earnout Statement”) setting forth (i) the satisfaction of the Share Price Target and (ii) each Company Stockholder’s Earnout Participation (calculated in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto). Within three Business Days following delivery of such Earnout Statement, the Seller Representative and the SPAC’s Chief Financial Officer shall provide the Escrow Agent with joint written instructions to release the applicable Escrow Property to the Company Stockholders as set forth in such updated Schedule A and, if applicable, to deliver any such forfeited shares to SPAC, to be cancelled by SPAC. In the event that the Share Price Target is not achieved during the Earnout Period, there shall be no disbursements of Escrow Property from the Escrow Account and all of the Earnout Shares shall be delivered from the Escrow Account to SPAC, to be cancelled by SPAC.

(e) Any payment made pursuant to this Section ‎1.13, including, for the avoidance of doubt, payments from the Escrow Account, shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by a change in applicable Tax Law.

(f) If there is a determination in accordance with this Section ‎1.13 that the Company Stockholders in whose names Earnout Shares are issued are entitled to receive the Escrow Property for having achieved the Share Price Target (such date, the “Escrow Determination Date”), then (i) 50% of the Escrow Property will be released from escrow 90 days after the Escrow Determination Date and the Escrow Agent will transfer and deliver such shares to the Company Stockholders within five Business Days following such 90-day period, with each such Company Stockholder receiving such Company Stockholder’s Earnout Participation of such Escrow Property, and (ii) the remaining 50% of the Escrow Property will be released from escrow 180 days after the Escrow Determination Date and the Escrow Agent will transfer and deliver such shares to the Company Stockholders within five Business Days following such 180-day period, with each such Company Stockholder receiving such Company Stockholder’s Earnout Participation of such Escrow Property. For the avoidance of doubt, any potential Change of Control transaction may not be consummated unless and until there is a final determination in accordance with this Section ‎1.13 regarding whether such Company Stockholders are entitled to receive any Escrow Property, and if such Company Stockholders are entitled to receive any Escrow Property, then such Escrow Property shall be delivered to such Company Stockholders in connection with the consummation of such Change of Control transaction (and not subject to the foregoing 90-day and 180-day release periods).

1.14 SPAC Minimum Cash.

(a) At least three Business Days prior to the Closing, SPAC shall deliver to the Company written notice (the “SPAC Minimum Cash Notice”) prepared by SPAC in good faith detailing or, if not then yet known, estimating the following, in each case, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time: (i) the aggregate amount of, and a list of, SPAC’s Expenses as of the Closing, and (ii) the number and class of SPAC Securities to be issued pursuant to the Transaction Financing, if any. The contents of the SPAC Minimum Cash Notice delivered by SPAC hereunder shall be subject to reasonable review and comment by the Company.

(b) If any information in the SPAC Minimum Cash Notice is estimated, then at least one Business Day prior to the Closing, SPAC shall deliver an updated SPAC Minimum Cash Notice accompanied by a certificate of a duly authorized officer of SPAC to the effect that the information contained in such SPAC Minimum Cash Notice is complete and accurate in all material respects.

1.15 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest Surviving Subsidiary with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, agreements, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub, the then-current officers and directors of Surviving Subsidiary and SPAC shall take all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

Article VIII
WAIVERS AND RELEASES

8.1 Waiver of Claims Against Trust. Reference is made to the IPO Prospectus. The Company and the Seller Representative each hereby represents and warrants that it has read the IPO Prospectus and understands that SPAC has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO and the overallotment shares acquired by SPAC’s underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by SPAC’s underwriters) (the “Public Shareholders”) and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of SPAC’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Shareholders if SPAC fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months after the closing of the IPO, subject to extension by an amendment to SPAC’s Organizational Documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any income taxes or (d) to SPAC after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and the Seller Representative hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Seller Representative nor any of their respective Affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between SPAC or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company, the Seller Representative or any of their respective Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to herein as, the “Released Claims”). Each of the Company and the Seller Representative, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it or any of its Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with SPAC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with SPAC or its Affiliates). Each of the Company and the Seller Representative agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by SPAC and its Affiliates to induce SPAC to enter in this Agreement, and each of the Company and the Seller Representative further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of its respective Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent that the Company or the Seller Representative or any of their respective Affiliates commences any Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SPAC or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against SPAC or its Representatives, each of the Company and the Seller Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that its and its Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalf or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event that the Company or the Seller Representative or any of their respective Affiliates commences Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SPAC or its Representatives which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Shareholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, SPAC and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the Company, the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders) and their respective, as applicable, the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such Action, in the event SPAC or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such Action. This Section ‎8.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason and continue indefinitely.
