2.1 Conversion of Company Securities. At the Company Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Company Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Company Class A Share. Each Company Class A Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time (other than any Company Dissenting Shares) shall, as of the Company Merger Effective Time, be canceled in exchange for the right to receive Company Class A Merger Consideration Shares. Each Company Shareholder (other than a Company Dissenting Shareholder) shall receive its pro rata share of the Company Class A Merger Consideration Shares, based on the number of Company Class A Shares owned by such Company Shareholder immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, divided by the total number of Company Class A Shares issued and outstanding as at such time. All of the Company Class A Shares exchanged for the right to receive Company Class A Merger Consideration Shares shall no longer be issued and outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, the maintainer of the register of members of the Company shall be authorized and instructed to update the register of members of the Company promptly at the Company Merger Effective Time to reflect such cancellation, and each holder of Company Class A Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities, except the right to receive the Company Class A Merger Consideration Shares and as otherwise provided under the Cayman Companies Act.

(b) Company Class B Share. Each Company Class B Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time (other than any Company Dissenting Shares) shall, as of the Company Merger Effective Time, be canceled in exchange for the right to receive the Company Class B Merger Consideration Shares. Each Company Shareholder (other than a Company Dissenting Shareholder) shall receive its pro rata share of the Company Class B Merger Consideration Shares, based on the number of Company Class B Shares owned by such Company Shareholder immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, divided by the total number of Company Class B Shares issued and outstanding as at such time. All of the Company Class B Shares exchanged for the right to receive Company Class B Merger Consideration Shares shall no longer be issued and outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, the maintainer of the register of members of the Company shall be authorized and instructed to update the register of members of the Company promptly at the Company Merger Effective Time to reflect such cancellation, and each holder of Company Class B Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities, except the right to receive the Company Class B Merger Consideration Shares and as otherwise provided under the Cayman Companies Act.

(c) Company Merger Sub Ordinary Shares. Each Company Merger Sub Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time shall, as of the Company Merger Effective Time, be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share, par value $0.001 per share, of the First Surviving Company and shall constitute the only issued and outstanding shares of the First Surviving Company upon the Company Merger Effective Time.

(d) Company Convertible Securities. Any Company Convertible Security, if not exercised or converted prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, shall be cancelled, retired and/or terminated and cease to represent a right to acquire, be exchanged for or convert into Company Shares.

2.2 Conversion of Issued Securities of SPAC. At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the SPAC Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) SPAC Units. At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, (i) each issued and outstanding SPAC Public Unit shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of SPAC Common Stock, one SPAC Public Warrant and one SPAC Right, in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable SPAC Unit, which underlying SPAC Securities shall be converted in accordance with the applicable terms of this Section 2.2 below.

(b) SPAC Common Stock. At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, every issued and outstanding share of SPAC Common Stock (other than those described in Section 1.1(e) below) immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall be canceled by virtue of the SPAC Merger and converted automatically into the right to receive one Pubco Class A Ordinary Share (such consideration, the “SPAC Merger Consideration”). All shares of SPAC Common Stock shall cease to be issued and outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, the register of members of the SPAC shall be updated promptly at the SPAC Merger Effective Time to reflect such cancellation, and each holder of a share certificate or book-entry statement of the SPAC previously representing any such shares of shares of SPAC Common Stock shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities, except the right to receive the Pubco Class A Ordinary Shares into which such shares of SPAC Common Stock shall have been converted in the SPAC Merger and as otherwise provided under the DGCL.

(c) SPAC Warrants. At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, each outstanding SPAC Public Warrant shall be converted into one Pubco Public Warrant and each outstanding SPAC Private Warrant shall be converted into one Pubco Private Warrant. At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, the SPAC Warrants shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. Each of the Pubco Public Warrants shall have, and be subject to, substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the SPAC Public Warrants and each of the Pubco Private Warrants shall have, and be subject to, substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the SPAC Private Warrants , except that in each case they shall represent the right to acquire Pubco Class A Ordinary Shares in lieu of shares of SPAC Common Stock. At or prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, Pubco shall take all corporate actions necessary to reserve for future issuance and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Pubco Warrants remain outstanding, a sufficient number of Pubco Class A Ordinary Shares for issuance upon the exercise of such Pubco Warrants.

(d) SPAC Rights. At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, each issued and outstanding SPAC Right shall be automatically converted into the number of Pubco Class A Ordinary Shares that would have been received by the holder thereof if such SPAC Right had been converted upon the consummation of a Business Combination in accordance with SPAC’s Organizational Documents, the IPO Prospectus and the Rights Agreement into shares of SPAC Common Stock, but for such purposes treating it as if such Business Combination had occurred immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time and the shares of SPAC Common Stock issued upon conversion of the SPAC Rights had then automatically been converted into Pubco Class A Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 2.2(b) above. At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, the SPAC Rights shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. The holders of certificates or book-entry statements previously evidencing SPAC Rights outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such SPAC Rights, except as provided herein or by Law. Each certificate or book-entry statement formerly representing SPAC Rights shall thereafter represent only the right to receive Pubco Class A Ordinary Shares as set forth herein.

(e) Cancellation of Capital Shares Owned by SPAC. At the SPAC Merger Effective Time, if there are any shares of capital stock of SPAC that are owned by SPAC as treasury shares, such shares shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

(f) Redeemed Shares. Each share of SPAC Common Stock for which a holder has exercised its right of Redemption shall be surrendered and cancelled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(g) SPAC Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock in SPAC Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share, par value $0.01 per share, of the Second Surviving Company.

(h) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for securities of SPAC is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to SPAC or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for securities of SPAC in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of SPAC or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(i) Surrender of SPAC Certificates. All securities issued upon the surrender of SPAC Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities, provided that any restrictions on the sale and transfer of SPAC Securities shall also apply to the Pubco Securities so issued in exchange.

(j) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed SPAC Certificates. In the event any certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Pubco shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, as the case may be, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such securities, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.2; provided, however, that the Second Surviving Company may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Second Surviving Company with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.3 No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE II, none of the First Surviving Company, Second Surviving Company, Pubco or any other Party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

2.4 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the SPAC Merger Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the First Surviving Company with all the rights, property of every description including choses in action, and the business, undertaking, goodwill, benefits, immunities and privileges of each of Company and Company Merger Sub, or the Second Surviving Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of SPAC and SPAC Merger Sub, the then current officers and directors of SPAC, the Company, Company Merger Sub and SPAC Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective entities to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Plan of Merger.

2.5 Surrender of Company Securities and Disbursement of Company Merger Consideration.

(a) At the Closing, Pubco shall cause the Company Merger Consideration to be issued and delivered to the Company Shareholders in exchange for their Company Securities in accordance with Section 2.1.

(b) At the Closing, the Company Shareholders will deliver to Pubco their collective Company Securities, including any certificates representing Company Ordinary Shares (“Company Certificates”). In the event that any Company Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, in lieu of delivery of a Company Certificate to Pubco, the Company Shareholders may instead deliver to Pubco an affidavit of lost certificate and indemnity of loss in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Pubco (a “Lost Certificate Affidavit”), which at the reasonable discretion of Pubco may include a requirement that the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate deliver a bond in such sum as Pubco may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Pubco or the Company with respect to the Company Ordinary Shares represented by such Company Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Each Target Company owns, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens) all Company Registered IP, and where applicable, all assignments have been duly recorded with any governmental agencies or other Intellectual Property offices reflecting the correct ownership of such Company Registered IP in the applicable Target Company name(s).

No Target Company is a party to or bound by any Tax indemnity agreement, Tax sharing agreement or Tax allocation agreement or similar agreement, arrangement or practice (excluding commercial agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business the primary purpose of which was not the sharing of Taxes) with respect to Taxes (including advance pricing agreement, closing agreement or other agreement relating to Taxes with any Governmental Authority) that will be binding on such Target Company with respect to any period following the Closing Date.

6.17 Title to and Sufficiency of Assets. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.17, each Target Company has good and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in or right to use, all of its assets, (except, in each case, as such enforcement may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions) free and clear of all Liens other than (a) Permitted Liens, (b) the rights of lessors under leasehold interests, (c) Liens specifically identified on the Interim Balance Sheet and (d) Liens set forth on Schedule 6.17, except for where the failure to have such good title or valid leasehold interests would not be material to the Target Companies, taken as a whole.

(a) Schedule 6.22(a) lists all insurance policies (by policy number, insurer, coverage period, coverage amount, annual premium and type of policy) held by a Target Company relating to a Target Company or its business, properties, assets, directors, officers and employees, copies of which have been provided to SPAC. All premiums due and payable under all such insurance policies have been timely paid and the Target Companies are otherwise in material compliance with the terms of such insurance policies. To the knowledge of the Company, except as would not be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Target Companies taken as a whole, each such insurance policy (i) is legal, valid, binding, enforceable and in full force and effect, (ii) will continue to be legal, valid, binding, enforceable, and in full force and effect on identical terms following the Closing and (iii) has coverage limitations sufficient to adequately cover the Company’s business as acquired by the Company from the Contributed Companies. No Target Company has any self-insurance or co-insurance programs. For the past two (2) years, no Target Company has received any notice from, or on behalf of, any insurance carrier relating to or involving any adverse change or any change other than in the ordinary course of business, in the conditions of insurance, any refusal to issue an insurance policy or non-renewal of a policy.

Each Target Company has reported to its insurers all claims and pending circumstances that would reasonably be expected to result in a claim, except where such failure to report such a claim would not be reasonably likely to be material to the Target Companies, taken as a whole. To the Knowledge of the Company, no event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, that would reasonably be expected to (with or without notice or lapse of time) give rise to or serve as a basis for the denial of any such insurance claim. No Target Company has made any claim against an insurance policy as to which the insurer is denying coverage.

Each Party will supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to Antitrust Laws and to take all other actions 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 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 commercially reasonable 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.

Each Party shall give prompt written notice to the other Parties if such Party or any of its Representatives (or with respect to the Company, any Company Shareholder) 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. No party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting, video or telephone conference, or other communications with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting, conference or other communications unless it consults with the other Parties in advance, and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting, conference or other communications. If any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any applicable Law or if any Action 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 commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections or Actions 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 Actions 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 Action 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 Action 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.

(d) With respect to Pubco, during the Interim Period, the Company, Pubco, Company Merger Sub and SPAC Merger Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Pubco to maintain its status as a “foreign private issuer” as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rule 3b-4 and through the Closing.

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 contemplated by this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable, including preparing and filing as soon as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings.

7.11 The Registration Statement.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, SPAC and Pubco shall prepare with the reasonable assistance of the Company, and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, and including the Proxy Statement contained therein, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the Pubco Securities to be issued under this Agreement to the stockholders, holders of rights and holders of warrants of SPAC, which Registration Statement will also contain a proxy statement of SPAC (as amended, and supplemented from time to time, the “Proxy Statement”) for the purpose of soliciting proxies from SPAC stockholders for the matters to be acted upon at the Special Stockholder Meeting and providing the Public Stockholders an opportunity in accordance with SPAC’s Organizational Documents and the IPO Prospectus to have their shares of SPAC Common Stock redeemed (the “Redemption”) in conjunction with the stockholder vote on the SPAC Stockholder Approval Matters. The Proxy Statement shall include proxy materials for the purpose of soliciting proxies from SPAC stockholders to vote, at an extraordinary general meeting of SPAC stockholders to be called and held for such purpose (the “Special Stockholder Meeting”), in favor of resolutions approving (A) the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the Transactions (including, to the extent required, the issuance of the Company Share Consideration), by the holders of shares of SPAC Common Stock in accordance with SPAC’s Organizational Documents, the DGCL and the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq, (B) the adoption and approval of a new equity incentive plan of Pubco (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), which will be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and SPAC and which will provide that the total pool of awards under such Equity Incentive Plan will be a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate number of Pubco Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing, (C) the appointment of the members of the Post-Closing Pubco Board, in each case in accordance with Section 7.14 hereof, (D) to the extent required by the Federal Securities Laws, DGCL, the adoption of the Amended Pubco Charter, and (E) such other matters as the Company and SPAC shall hereafter mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Transactions (the approvals described in foregoing clauses (A) through (E), collectively, the “SPAC Stockholder Approval Matters”), and (F) the adjournment of the Special Stockholder Meeting, if and as mutually agreed by the Company and SPAC.

(b) Pubco, the SPAC and the Company each shall use their reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Proxy Statement and Registration Statement when filed with the SEC to comply in all material respects with all legal requirements applicable thereto, (ii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to and resolve all comments received from the SEC concerning the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement, (iii) cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable, (iv) to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Mergers, and (v) to satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws in connection with the Registration Statement, the Special Stockholder Meeting and the Redemption. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement will be made by the SPAC or Pubco without the approval of the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each of the SPAC and the Company shall promptly furnish all information concerning it as may reasonably be requested by the other party in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement, provided, however, that neither the SPAC nor the Company shall use any such information for any purposes other than those contemplated by this Agreement. All documents that the SPAC, Pubco and the Company is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

(c) Each of the SPAC and the Company represents to the other party that the information supplied by it for inclusion in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement does not and shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or fail to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading at (i) the time the Registration Statement is declared effective, (ii) the time the Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed to the stockholders of the SPAC, (iii) the time of the Special Stockholder Meeting of the SPAC, and (iv) the SPAC Merger Effective Time. If, at any time prior to the Second Effective Time, any event or circumstance relating to the SPAC (with respect to the SPAC), or relating to the Company, Pubco, Company Merger Sub or SPAC Merger Sub (with respect to the Company), or their respective officers or directors, should be discovered by the SPAC or the Company (as applicable) which should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement, the SPAC or the Company (as applicable) shall promptly inform the other. Each Party shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement (and other related materials) if and to the extent that such information is determined to have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. SPAC and Pubco shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and, subject to Section 7.11(b), SPAC and Pubco shall file with the SEC and disseminate to SPAC’s stockholders the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and SPAC’s Organizational Documents.

(d) SPAC, Pubco and the Company each will advise the other, promptly after they receive notice thereof, of any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information, and shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) any response to comments of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement. SPAC and Pubco shall provide the Company with copies of any written comments and shall inform the Company of any material oral comments, that SPAC, Pubco or their respective Representatives receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement, the Special Stockholder Meeting and the Redemption promptly after the receipt of such comments.

(e) As soon as practicable following the Registration Statement “clearing” comments from the SEC and becoming effective, SPAC and Pubco shall distribute the Registration Statement to SPAC’s stockholders and, SPAC shall call the Special Stockholder Meeting in accordance with the SPAC’s Organizational Documents and the DGCL as promptly as practicable thereafter and for a date no later than thirty (30) days following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. SPAC, acting through its board of directors (or a committee thereof), shall (i) make the SPAC Recommendation and include such SPAC Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies or votes in favor of the approval of the SPAC Stockholder Approval Matters, and (iii) take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the approval of the SPAC Stockholder Approval Matters. If on the date for which the Special Stockholder Meeting is scheduled, SPAC has not received proxies and votes representing a sufficient number of shares to obtain the Required Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, SPAC may make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Special Stockholder Meeting for up to 30 days in the aggregate upon the good faith determination by the board of directors of the SPAC that such postponement or adjournment is necessary to solicit additional proxies and votes to obtain approval of the SPAC Stockholder Approval Matters or otherwise take actions consistent with the SPAC’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.9, or for such additional periods of time that may be mutually agreed upon between the SPAC and the Company. The SPAC shall use its best efforts to obtain the approval of the SPAC Stockholder Approval Matters, including by soliciting from its stockholders proxies as promptly as possible in favor of the SPAC Stockholder Approval Matters, and shall take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the required vote or consent of its stockholders.

Promptly after the issuance of the Closing Press Release, Pubco shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the “Closing Filing”) with the Closing Press Release and a description of the Closing as required by Federal Securities Laws which SPAC shall review, comment upon and approve (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to filing. In connection with the preparation of the Signing Press Release, the Signing Filing, the Closing Filing, the Closing Press Release, or any other report, statement, filing notice or application made by or on behalf of a Party to any Governmental Authority or other third party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, each Party shall, upon request by any other Party, furnish the Parties with all information concerning themselves, their respective directors, officers and equity holders, and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, or any other report, statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of a Party to any third party and/ or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

In the event that this Agreement is terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, the Company, Pubco, Company Merger Sub and SPAC Merger Sub shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, promptly deliver to SPAC or destroy (at SPAC’s election) any and all copies (in whatever form or medium) of SPAC Confidential Information and destroy all notes, memoranda, summaries, analyses, compilations and other writings related thereto or based thereon.

(b) For the benefit of SPAC’s directors and officers, at the Closing SPAC shall obtain a “tail” insurance policy that provides coverage for up to a six-year period from and after the SPAC Merger Effective Time for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Tail Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than SPAC’s existing policy or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage. Pubco hereby agrees to fully pay the premium for the D&O Tail Insurance obtained by SPAC. Pubco shall, for a period of six years after the SPAC Merger Effective Time, maintain the D&O Tail Insurance in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder, and Pubco shall timely pay or cause to be paid all premiums with respect to the D&O Tail Insurance.

(d) by written notice by the Company to SPAC, if (i) there has been a material breach by the SPAC of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the SPAC shall have become untrue or materially inaccurate, in any case, which would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) to be satisfied (treating the Closing Date for such purposes as the date of this Agreement or, if later, the date of such breach), and (ii) the breach or inaccuracy is incapable of being cured or is not cured within the earlier of (A) twenty (20) days after written notice of such breach or inaccuracy is provided to SPAC by the Company or (B) the Outside Date; provided, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) if at such time the Company, Pubco, Company Merger Sub or SPAC Merger Sub is in material uncured breach of this Agreement;

ARTICLE X
WAIVERS AND RELEASES

10.1 Waiver of Claims Against Trust. Reference is made to the IPO Prospectus. The Company, Pubco, Company Merger Sub and SPAC Merger Sub 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 stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by SPAC’s underwriters) (the “Public Stockholders”) and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their shares of shares of SPAC Common Stock (or Pubco Ordinary Shares upon the Merger) in connection with the consummation of its initial business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with an amendment to SPAC’s Organizational documents to extend SPAC’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if SPAC fails to consummate a Business Combination within 15 months after the closing of the IPO (provided such date may be extended by an additional six (6) months), subject to further extension by 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 franchise or income taxes, and (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, Pubco, Company Merger Sub and SPAC Merger Sub hereby agree on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company, Pubco, Company Merger Sub, SPAC Merger Sub 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, Pubco, Company Merger Sub and SPAC Merger, or any Company Shareholder 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 (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Each of the Company, Pubco, Company Merger Sub and SPAC Merger Sub on behalf of itself and its Affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that any such Party 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 Public Stockholder Distributions) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with SPAC or its Affiliates); provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing waiver will not limit or prohibit the Company from pursuing a claim against the SPAC or any other person (other than Public Stockholders with respect to funds released from the Trust Account pursuant to the Redemption), in each case for (i) legal relief against monies or other assets of the SPAC held outside of the Trust Account (and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds other than distributions therefrom to its public stockholders); (ii) specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions, provided that (x) such claim is permitted pursuant to Section 11.7 and (y) the Company shall not be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce the release or other distribution of funds from the Trust Account; 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, Pubco, Company Merger Sub and SPAC Merger Sub further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. This Section 10.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction, restraining order or other equitable remedy to prevent or remedy any breach of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in each case, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

11.8 Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction.
