Article I
MERGER

1.1 Merger. At the Effective Time, immediately following the consummation of the Share Exchange, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the plan of merger and the articles of merger to be prepared by the Parties (the “Plan of Merger” and the “Articles of Merger” respectively), and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the BVI Act, the Purchaser, as a constituent party for the purpose of the BVI Act, and Merger Sub, as a constituent party for the purpose of the BVI Act, shall consummate the Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Purchaser with the Purchaser being the surviving entity for the purpose of the BVI Act, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Purchaser shall continue as the surviving company. Purchaser, as the surviving company after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Company” (provided, that references to the Purchaser for periods after the Effective Time shall include the Surviving Corporation).

1.2 Effective Time. The Purchaser and Merger Sub shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Articles of Merger and any other documents required to be filed pursuant to the BVI Act and such other documents as required by the BVI Act with the Registry of Companies of the British Virgin Islands. The Merger shall become effective at the time of the Closing Date when the Plan of Merger is registered by the Registry of Companies of the British Virgin Islands (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, the Articles of Merger, and the applicable provisions of the BVI Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and the Purchaser shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Company (including all rights and obligations with respect to the Trust Account), which shall include the assumption by the Surviving Company of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Effective Time, and the Surviving Company shall continue its existence as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Pubco.

1.4 Organizational Documents of Surviving Company. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall adopt new memorandum and articles of association (the “Surviving Company Charter”), which are substantially in the form of the memorandum and articles of association of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, as the memorandum and articles of association of the Surviving Company; provided, that at the Effective Time, references therein to the name of the Surviving Company shall be amended to be such name as reasonably determined by the Company.

1.5 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Company. At the Effective Time, the board of directors and executive officers of the Surviving Company shall be such directors and officers of Pubco, as designated by the Company, each to hold office in accordance with the Surviving Company Charter until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

1.6 Effect of Merger on Issued Securities of the Purchaser. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of securities of the Purchaser, Pubco or Merger Sub:

(a) Purchaser Units. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Purchaser Unit shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one Purchaser Ordinary Share, one Purchaser Warrant and one Purchaser Right in accordance with the terms of the applicable Purchaser Unit, which underlying Purchaser Securities shall be converted in accordance with the applicable terms of this Section 1.6 below.

(b) Purchaser Ordinary Share. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Purchaser Ordinary Share (other than those described in Section 1.6(e) below) shall be converted automatically into one Pubco Ordinary Share, following which, all Purchaser Ordinary Shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist. The holders of certificates previously evidencing Purchaser Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as provided herein or by Law. Each certificate previously evidencing Purchaser Ordinary Shares shall be exchanged for a certificate (if requested) representing the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with this Section 1.6(b) and Section 1.7. Each certificate formerly representing Purchaser Ordinary Share (other than those described in Section 1.6(e) below) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares in accordance with this Section 1.6(b).

(c) Purchaser Warrants. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Purchaser Public Warrant shall be converted into one Pubco Public Warrant and each outstanding Purchaser Private Warrant shall be converted into one Pubco Private Warrant. At the Effective Time, the Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser Private Warrants, except that in each case they shall represent the right to acquire Pubco Ordinary Shares in lieu of Purchaser Ordinary Shares. At or prior to the 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 Ordinary Shares for delivery upon the exercise of such Pubco Warrants.

(d) Purchaser Rights. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Purchaser Right shall be automatically converted into the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares that would have been received by the holder thereof if such Purchaser Right had been converted upon the consummation of a Business Combination in accordance with Purchaser’s Organizational Documents, the IPO Prospectus and the Rights Agreement into Purchaser Ordinary Shares, but for such purposes treating it as if such Business Combination had occurred immediately prior to the Effective Time and the Purchaser Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the Purchaser Rights had then automatically been converted into Pubco Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 1.6(b) above. At the Effective Time, the Purchaser Rights shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. The holders of certificates previously evidencing Purchaser Rights outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Purchaser Rights, except as provided herein or by Law. Each certificate formerly representing Purchaser Rights shall thereafter represent only the right to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares as set forth herein.

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

(f) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for securities of the Purchaser 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 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 the Purchaser or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for securities of the Purchaser in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of the Purchaser or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.6, none of the 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.

1.7 Effect of Merger on Merger Sub and Pubco Capital Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of or in connection with the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or any equity holders of the Purchaser, Pubco or Merger Sub: (a) all of the Merger Sub Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an equal number of ordinary shares of the Surviving Company, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of the Surviving Company; and (b) all of the shares of Pubco issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

1.8 Surrender of Purchaser Certificates. All securities issued upon the surrender of Purchaser 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 Purchaser Securities shall also apply to the Pubco Securities so issued in exchange.

1.9 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Purchaser 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 1.6; provided, however, that the 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 Surviving Company with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.10 Tax Consequences.

The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Merger and the Share Exchange, taken together, are intended to qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code. The Parties shall file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with such characterization unless otherwise required pursuant to a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Each of the Parties acknowledge and agree that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and Tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Merger and the Share Exchange, taken together, does not qualify under Section 351 of the Code.

1.11 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 the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Purchaser and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of Pubco, the Purchaser and 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.

Article II
SHARE EXCHANGE

2.1 Exchange of Company Securities. At the Closing and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Sellers (including for the avoidance of doubt, the holders of shares issued upon the conversion of any Company Interim Period Notes that are converted into Company Ordinary Shares at or prior to the Closing) shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Pubco, and Pubco shall purchase, acquire and accept from the Sellers, all of the issued and outstanding shares and other equity interests in or of the Company ( the “Purchased Shares”) free and clear of all Liens (other than potential restrictions on resale under applicable securities Laws). At the Closing, the Company will exchange any issued and outstanding Company Convertible Securities, including any unconverted Company Interim Period Notes, for Pubco Convertible Securities, in each case accordance with the terms and conditions of such Company Convertible Securities, and thereupon such Company Convertible Securities shall automatically be terminated.

2.2 Exchange Consideration. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in full payment for the Purchased Shares, Pubco shall issue and deliver to the Sellers (including for the avoidance of doubt, the holders of shares issued upon the conversion of any Company Interim Period Notes that are converted into Company Ordinary Shares at or prior to the Closing) an aggregate number of Pubco Ordinary Shares (the “Exchange Shares”) with an aggregate value equal to (the “Exchange Consideration”) (i) One Billion U.S. Dollars ($1,000,000,000), plus (ii) the Closing Cash, minus (iii) the Closing Debt, and minus (iv) the amount of any unpaid Excess Transaction Expenses, with each Pubco Ordinary Share valued at the Redemption Price, subject to the withholding of the Escrow Shares in accordance with Section 2.3; provided, that the Exchange Consideration otherwise deliverable to the Sellers after the Closing is subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.5. The number of Exchange Shares issued and delivered to the Sellers at the Closing shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.4. Each Seller shall receive its pro rata share of the applicable Exchange Shares, based on the number of Purchased Shares owned by such Seller, divided by the total number of Purchased Shares owned by all Sellers (such percentage being each such Seller’s “Pro Rata Share”).

2.3 Escrow.

(a) At or prior to the Closing, Pubco, the Purchaser Representative, the Seller Representative and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or such other escrow agent mutually acceptable to the Purchaser 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 the Purchaser and the Company (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which Pubco shall cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent a number of Exchange Shares (each valued at the Redemption Price) equal in value to ten percent (10%) of the Exchange Consideration otherwise issuable to the Sellers at the Closing based on the Estimated Closing Statement (together with any equity securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such shares or into which such shares are exchanged or converted, the “Escrow Shares”) to be held, along with any other dividends, distributions or other income on the foregoing (the "Other Escrow Property", together with the Escrow Shares, the “Escrow Property”), in a segregated escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) and disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Shares shall also serve as a security for, and a source of payment of, the obligations of the Sellers under Section 2.6. Unless otherwise required by Law, all distributions made from the Escrow Account shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Exchange Consideration received by the Seller pursuant to Article II hereof. Until and unless the Escrow Shares are forfeited in accordance with Section 2.6 below, the Sellers shall be deemed to be the owner of the Escrow Shares during the time such Escrow Shares are held in the Escrow Account, subject to the retention of any dividends, distributions and other earnings thereon in the Escrow Account until disbursed therefrom in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Escrow Property shall be held in the Escrow Account and will be subject to release in accordance with Section 2.6 below. Each Seller by execution of this Agreement acknowledges that such Seller’s right to receive the Escrow Shares and the other Escrow Property is contingent on the performance of Pubco and its Subsidiaries during the Earnout Period as set forth in Section 2.6.

2.4 Estimated Closing Statement. Not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a statement certified by the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth (a) an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Target Companies as of the Reference Time, prepared in good faith and in accordance with the Accounting Principles, (b) a good faith calculation of the Company’s estimate of Closing Cash, Closing Debt and Excess Transaction Expenses, in each case, as of the Reference Time and along with reasonably detailed calculations, and (c) the resulting estimated Exchange Consideration and Exchange Shares to be issued by Pubco at the Closing (the “Exchange Consideration Shares”) using the formula in Section 2.2 based on such estimates of Closing Cash, Closing Debt and Transaction Expenses, which Estimated Closing Statement shall be subject to the review by the Purchaser. Promptly after delivering the Estimated Closing Statement to the Purchaser, the Company will meet with the Purchaser to review and discuss the Estimated Closing Statement and the Company will consider in good faith the Purchaser’s comments to the Estimated Closing Statement and make any appropriate adjustments to the Estimated Closing Statement prior to the Closing, as mutually approved by the Company and the Purchaser both acting reasonably and in good faith, which adjusted Estimated Closing Statement shall thereafter become the Estimated Closing Statement for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that, to the extent that the Company and the Purchaser are unable to reach an agreement prior to the Closing Date, the Estimated Closing Statement as delivered by the Company shall be final (the amount of estimated Exchange Consideration as finally determined, the "Estimated Exchange Consideration"). The Estimated Closing Statement and the determinations contained therein shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. The Estimated Closing Statement will also include with respect to (i) Closing Debt, the amount owed to each creditor of any of the Target Companies and, with respect to any Closing Debt that the Purchaser and the Company agree to satisfy at the Closing, payment instructions, together with payoff and lien release letters from each Target Company’s creditors in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, and (ii) Excess Transaction Expenses, the amount owed to each payee thereof and payment instructions therefor.

2.5 Exchange Consideration Adjustment

(a) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Chairman of Pubco’s Board of Directors (the “Chairman”) shall deliver to the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Target Companies as of the Reference Time and (ii) a good faith calculation of the Closing Cash, Closing Debt and Excess Transaction Expenses, in each case, as of the Reference Time, and (iii) the resulting Exchange Consideration and the number of Exchange Shares (each valued at the Redemption Price) that should have been delivered by Pubco at the Closing in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement based on such Closing Cash, Closing Debt, Excess Transaction Expenses. The Closing Statement shall be prepared, and the Closing Cash, Closing Debt, and Excess Transaction Expenses and the resulting Exchange Consideration and Exchange Shares shall be determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) After delivery of the Closing Statement, each of the Seller Representative and the Purchaser Representative, and their respective Representatives on their behalves, shall be permitted reasonable access to the books, records, working papers, files, facilities and personnel of the Target Companies relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement. The Seller Representative and the Purchaser Representative, and their respective Representatives on their behalves, may make inquiries of the Chairman and related Pubco and Company personnel and advisors regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Closing Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and Pubco and the Company shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection therewith. If either the Seller Representative or the Purchaser Representative (each, a “Representative Party”) has any objections to the Closing Statement, such Representative Party shall deliver to the Chairman and the other Representative Party a statement setting forth its objections thereto (in reasonable detail) (an “Objection Statement”). If an Objection Statement is not delivered by a Representative Party within thirty (30) days following the date of delivery of the Closing Statement, then such Representative Party will have waived its right to contest the Closing Statement, all determinations and calculations set forth therein, and the resulting Exchange Consideration and Exchange Consideration Shares set forth therein. If an Objection Statement is delivered within such thirty (30) day period, then the Seller Representative and the Purchaser Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections for a period of twenty (20) days thereafter. If the Seller Representative and the Purchaser Representative do not reach a final resolution within such twenty (20) day period, then upon the written request of either Representative Party (the date of receipt of such notice by the other Party, the “Independent Expert Notice Date”), the Representative Parties will refer the dispute to the Independent Expert for final resolution of the dispute in accordance with Section 2.5(c) For purposes hereof, the “Independent Expert” means a mutually acceptable independent (i.e., no prior material business relationship with any party for the prior two (2) years) accounting firm appointed by the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative, (which appointment will be made no later than ten (10) days after the Independent Expert Notice Date); provided, that if the Independent Expert does not accept its appointment or if the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative cannot agree on the Independent Expert, in either case within twenty (20) days after the Independent Expert Notice Date, either Representative Party may require, by written notice to the other Representative Party, that the Independent Expert be selected by the New York City Regional Office of the AAA in accordance with the AAA’s procedures. The parties agree that the Independent Expert will be deemed to be independent even though a Party or its Affiliates may, in the future, designate the Independent Expert to resolve disputes of the types described in this Section 2.5(b). The Parties acknowledge that any information provided pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) will be subject to the confidentiality obligations of Section 8.13.

(c) If a dispute with respect to the Closing Statement is submitted in accordance with this Section 2.5 to the Independent Expert for final resolution, the Parties will follow the procedures set forth in this Section 2.5(c). Each of the Seller Representative and the Purchaser Representative agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Expert, a reasonable engagement letter with respect to the determination to be made by the Independent Expert. All fees and expenses of the Independent Expert will be borne by Pubco. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the Seller Representative in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Independent Expert will be borne by the Seller Representative, and all other costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser Representative in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Independent Expert will be borne by Pubco. The Independent Expert will determine only those issues still in dispute as of the Independent Expert Notice Date and the Independent Expert’s determination will be based solely upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The determination by the Independent Expert will be based solely on presentations with respect to such disputed items by the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative to the Independent Expert and not on the Independent Expert’s independent review; provided, that such presentations will be deemed to include any work papers, records, accounts or similar materials delivered to the Independent Expert by a Representative Party in connection with such presentations and any materials delivered to the Independent Expert in response to requests by the Independent Expert. Each of the Seller Representative and the Purchaser Representative will use their reasonable efforts to make their respective presentations as promptly as practicable following submission to the Independent Expert of the disputed items, and each such Representative Party will be entitled, as part of its presentation, to respond to the presentation of the other Representative Party and any questions and requests of the Independent Expert. In deciding any matter, the Independent Expert will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 2.5. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the activities of the Independent Expert in connection herewith are not (and should not be considered to be or treated as) an arbitration proceeding or similar arbitral process and that no formal arbitration rules should be followed (including rules with respect to procedures and discovery). The Seller and the Purchaser Representative will request that the Independent Expert’s determination be made within forty-five (45) days after its engagement, or as soon thereafter as possible, will be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative and will be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding for all purposes hereunder (other than for fraud or manifest error).

(d) If it is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.5 that the number of Exchange Shares that should have been delivered by Pubco at the Closing in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement (the “Finally Determined Exchange Shares”) is:

(i) greater than the number of Exchange Shares set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement (the “Estimated Exchange Shares”), then within five (5) Business Days after such final determination, Pubco shall issue to the Sellers an additional number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to (x) the Finally Determined Exchange Shares, minus (y) the Estimated Exchange Shares, divided by the Redemption Price; or

(ii) less than the Estimated Exchange Shares, then within five (5) Business Days after such final determination, the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative will provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to transfer and deliver to Pubco the Escrow Shares or other Escrow Property with a value (with each Escrow Share that is an Exchange Share valued at the Redemption Price) equal to the product of (I) (x) Estimated Exchange Shares, minus (y) the Finally Determined Exchange Shares, multiplied by (II) the Redemption Price, up to a maximum amount equal to the Escrow Property.

Any Pubco Ordinary Shares issued under clause (d)(i) hereof will be considered additional Exchange Shares for purposes of this Agreement and, “Restricted Securities” under the Lock-Up Agreement. Pubco will cancel any Escrow Shares and any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon that it receives under clause (d)(ii) hereof promptly after its receipt thereof. For the avoidance of doubt and without duplication of the other provisions of this Agreement, the number of Escrow Shares or Pubco Ordinary Shares to be delivered under this Section 2.5 shall be equitably adjusted for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like with respect to Pubco Ordinary Shares after the Closing.

2.6 Earnout.

(a) After the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Sellers shall have the contingent right to receive additional consideration from Pubco based on the performance of Pubco and its Subsidiaries, including the Company, during the period commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter following Closing (but in any event no earlier than October 1, 2021) and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary of such date (the “Earnout Year”) if the requirements as set forth in this Section 2.6 are met.

(b) The Sellers shall be entitled to receive from Pubco, if and when earned, as additional consideration for the purchase of the Purchased Shares, the Earned Escrow Shares together with the Other Escrow Property. To the extent that the amount of the Earned Escrowed Shares is less than the Escrow Share Number, then the amount of Escrow Shares equal to such difference will be forfeited by the Sellers and released to Pubco for cancellation along with any accrued but unpaid dividends payable in respect of such Escrow Shares. To the extent that any Other Escrow Property is released to the Sellers, it shall be allocated among the Sellers in accordance with their pro rata interests in the Earned Escrow Shares. Further, to the extent that any portion of the Escrow Shares consist of equity securities other than Exchange Shares, any distribution from the Escrow Shares under this Section 2.6 shall be made in proportional amounts among the different types of securities.

(c) As soon as practicable (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after Pubco’s filing of consolidated financial statements for Pubco and its Subsidiaries with the SEC for the period ending on the last day of the Earnout Year, the Chairman will prepare and deliver to the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative a written statement (an “Earnout Statement”) that sets forth the Chairman's determination in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.6 of (i) the revenue for the Earnout Year based on such financial statements, and (ii) the Escrow Property that the Sellers and Pubco (as applicable) are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.6(b). The Earnout Statement shall be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding for all purposes hereunder (other than for fraud or manifest error).

(d) Pubco and the Seller Representative will provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent within ten (10) Business Days of their receipt of a final Earnout Statement to release the Escrow Property in accordance with the final Earnout Statement.

(e) Following the Closing (including during the Earnout Year), Pubco and its Subsidiaries, including the Target Companies, will be entitled to operate their respective businesses based upon the business requirements of Pubco and its Subsidiaries. Each of Pubco and its Subsidiaries, including the Target Companies will be permitted, following the Closing (including during the Earnout Year), to make changes at its sole discretion to its operations, organization, personnel, accounting practices and other aspects of its business, including actions that may have an impact on the revenue, the share price of Pubco Ordinary Shares and the ability of the Sellers to earn the Escrow Shares, and the Sellers will not have any right to claim the loss of all or any portion of any Escrow Shares or other damages as a result of such decisions.

(f) For purposes of this Section 2.6, the following definitions shall apply:

(i) "Earned Escrow Shares" means the result of the following equation: Escrow Share Number * (Revenue / Earnout Target).

(ii) "Earnout Target" means an amount equal to One Hundred Forty Million U.S. Dollars ($140,000,000).

(iii) "Escrow Share Number" means the number of Escrow Shares.

(iv) "Revenue" means the consolidated revenue of Pubco and its Subsidiaries for the Earnout Year, as set forth in Pubco's filings with the SEC; provided that in no event shall the Revenue exceed the Earnout Target.

2.7 Surrender of Company Securities and Disbursement of Exchange Shares

(a) At the Closing, Pubco shall cause the Exchange Shares (less the Escrow Shares) to be issued and delivered to the Sellers in exchange for their Company Securities in accordance with Section 2.2 and the Estimated Closing Statement.

(b) At the Closing, the Sellers will deliver to Pubco its Company Securities, including any certificates representing Company Ordinary Shares (“Company Certificates”), along with applicable share power or transfer forms reasonably acceptable to Pubco. 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 Sellers 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.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a Pubco Ordinary Share will be issued by Pubco by virtue of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Pubco Ordinary Share (after aggregating all fractional Pubco Ordinary Shares that would otherwise be received by such Person) shall instead have the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest whole Pubco Ordinary Share.

2.8 Seller Consent. Each Seller, hereby approves, authorizes and consents to the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which the Company is or is required to be a party or otherwise bound, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the consent set forth herein is intended and shall constitute such consent of such Seller as may be required (and shall, if applicable, operate as a written shareholder resolution of the Company) pursuant to the Company Organizational Documents, any other agreement in respect of the Company to which such Seller is a party or bound and all applicable Laws.

2.9 Termination of Certain Agreements.

Without limiting the provisions of Section 11.2, the Company and each Seller hereby agree that, effective at the Closing, (a) any shareholders, voting or similar agreement among the Company and any of the Sellers or among the Sellers with respect to the Company’s capital shares, and (b) any registration rights agreement between the Company and its shareholders, in each case of clauses (a) and (b), shall automatically, and without any further action by any of the Parties, terminate in full and become null and void and of no further force and effect. Further, the Sellers and the Company hereby waive any obligations of the parties under the Company’s Organizational Documents or any agreement described in clause (a) above with respect to the Transactions, and any failure of the parties to comply with the terms thereof in connection with the Transactions.

To the Company's Knowledge, no fact, circumstance, or condition exists in respect of any Target Company or any property currently or formerly owned, operated, or leased by any Target Company or any property to which a Target Company arranged for the disposal or treatment of Hazardous Materials that could reasonably be expected to result in a Target Company incurring any material Environmental Liabilities.

10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing as follows:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Purchaser and the Company;

(b) by written notice by the Purchaser or the Company if any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article IX have not been satisfied or waived by August 24, 2021 (or such other date that Parties agree to in writing) (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b) shall not be available to a Party if the breach or violation by such Party or its Affiliates (or with respect to the Company, any Seller, Pubco or Merger Sub) of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement was the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date;

(c) by written notice by either the Purchaser or the Company if a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Order or other action has become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(c) shall not be available to a Party if the failure by such Party or its Affiliates (or with respect to the Company, any Seller, Pubco or Merger Sub) to comply with any provision of this Agreement has been a substantial cause of, or substantially resulted in, such action by such Governmental Authority;

(d) by written notice by the Company to the Purchaser, if (i) (x) there has been a material breach by the Purchaser of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or (y) if any representation or warranty of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall have been materially breached or become materially untrue or inaccurate, in any case, which would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(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 the Purchaser 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 10.1(d) if at such time the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub or any Seller is in material uncured breach of this Agreement;

(e) by written notice by the Purchaser to the Company, if (i) (x) there has been a material breach by the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub or any Seller of any of their respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or (y) if any representation or warranty of such Parties contained in this Agreement shall have been materially breached or become materially untrue or inaccurate, in any case, which would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(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 the Company by the Purchaser or (B) the Outside Date; provided, that the Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(e) if at such time the Purchaser is in material uncured breach of this Agreement;

(f) by written notice by the Purchaser to the Company, if there shall have been a Material Adverse Effect on any Target Company or Pubco following the date of this Agreement which is uncured and continuing; or

(g) by written notice by either the Purchaser or the Company to the other if the Special Shareholders Meeting is held (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) and has concluded, the Purchaser’s shareholders have duly voted, and the Required Shareholders Approval was not obtained.

10.2 Effect of Termination. This Agreement may only be terminated in the circumstances described in Section 10.1 and pursuant to a written notice delivered by the applicable Party to the other applicable Parties, which sets forth the basis for such termination, including the provision of Section 10.1 under which such termination is made. In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no Liability on the part of any Party or any of their respective Representatives, and all rights and obligations of each Party shall cease, except: (i) Sections 8.12, 8.13, 10.3(b), 11.1, Article XII and this Section 10.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from Liability for any willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement or any Fraud Claim against such Party, in either case, prior to termination of this Agreement (in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, subject to Section 11.1). Without limiting the foregoing, and except as provided in Sections 10.3 and this Section 10.2 (but subject to Section 11.1, and subject to the right to seek injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief in accordance with Section 12.6), the Parties’ sole right prior to the Closing with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement by another Party or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be the right, if applicable, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1.

10.3 Fees and Expenses.

(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that an aggregate of Fifteen Million Dollars of Transaction Expenses shall be reimbursed from the Trust Account and the proceeds of the PIPE Investment; provided, however, that Transaction Expenses which shall be reimbursed from such sources shall not exceed (A) Ten Million U.S. Dollars ($10,000,000) in the aggregate in the case of the Company (“Company Transaction Fee Cap”) and (B) Five Million U.S. Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate in the case of the Purchaser (“Purchaser Transaction Fee Cap” and together with the Company Fee Cap, the “Transaction Fee Caps”); provided further, however, the Transaction Expense Caps shall not apply to (i) the Purchaser’s deferred underwriting fees and other outstanding obligations incurred in connection with its IPO, (ii) regulatory expenses and filing fees, such as fees for Nasdaq and the SEC, (iii) fees for ordinary course third-party services providers, such the Purchaser’s transfer agent, and (iv) success or advisory fees incurred in connection with the PIPE Investment or similar expenses incurred to retain or replace existing shareholders of the Purchaser in connection with a Redemption, which fees shall be mutually agreed in advance by the Purchaser and the Company. Any Transaction Expenses of the Company in excess of the Company Transaction Fee Cap (“Excess Transaction Expenses”), which are unpaid at Closing shall reduce the Exchange Consideration payable to the Sellers. The Sponsor shall pay and shall be responsible for any transaction expenses of the Purchaser in excess of the Purchaser Transaction Fee Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, expenses which are not subject to the Transaction Expense Cap can be paid using the funds in the Trust Account and the proceeds of the PIPE Investment.

(b) Subject to Sections 10.3(a) and 11.1, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses. As used in this Agreement, “Expenses” shall include all out-of-pocket expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisors, financing sources, experts and consultants to a Party hereto or any of its Affiliates) incurred by a Party or on its behalf in connection with or related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document related hereto and all other matters related to the consummation of this Agreement. With respect to the Purchaser, Expenses shall include any and all deferred expenses (including fees or commissions payable to the underwriters and any legal fees) of the IPO upon consummation of a Business Combination and any Extension Expenses.

Article XI
WAIVERS AND RELEASES

11.1 Waiver of Claims Against Trust.

The Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, each Seller hereby represents and warrants that it has read the IPO Prospectus and understands that the Purchaser has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO and the overallotment shares acquired by the Purchaser’s underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Purchaser’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by the Purchaser’s underwriters) (the “Public Shareholders”) and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, the Purchaser may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their shares of Purchaser Ordinary Shares (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 the Purchaser’s Organizational documents to extend the Purchaser’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Shareholders if the Purchaser 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 the Purchaser’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 the Purchaser after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of the Purchaser 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, Merger Sub, each Seller hereby agree on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, such Seller 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 the Purchaser or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, or any Seller 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, Merger Sub, each Seller 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 the Purchaser or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any Public Shareholder Distributions) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with the Purchaser or its Affiliates) provided that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company's, Pubco's, Merger Sub's or any Seller's right to pursue a claim against the Purchaser for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account (other than direct or indirect distributions from the Trust Account to Purchaser’s public stockholders), for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions (including a claim for the Purchaser to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Redemptions) to the Sellers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect the Purchaser’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Redemptions, or for fraud and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub or any Seller may have in the future against the Purchaser’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds (other than direct or indirect distributions from the Trust Account to Purchaser’s public stockholders)). The Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, and each Seller each agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Purchaser and its Affiliates to induce the Purchaser to enter in this Agreement, and each of the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, and each Seller 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 11.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

11.2 Release and Covenant Not to Xxx.

Effective as of the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that owns any share or other equity interest in or of such Seller (the “Releasing Persons”), hereby releases and discharges the Target Companies from and against any and all Actions, obligations, agreements, debts and Liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, both at law and in equity, which such Releasing Person now has, has ever had or may hereafter have against the Target Companies arising on or prior to the Closing Date or on account of or arising out of any matter occurring on or prior to the Closing Date. From and after the Closing, each Releasing Person hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Action, or commencing or causing to be commenced, any Action of any kind against the Target Companies or their respective Affiliates, based upon any matter purported to be released hereby. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the releases and restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to any claims a Releasing Person may have against any Person (i) for any claims, causes of action, rights or obligations arising under, related to, or in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (ii) for any and all claims or causes of action for or rights to indemnification, exculpation, and advancement provisions contained in any certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Target Companies, (iii) for any wages, salary, or other similar compensation due to a Releasing Person in its capacity as a director, officer, employee, advisor, consultant, or other representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iv) under the Contracts set forth on Schedule 11.2.

12.2 Binding Effect; Assignment. Subject to Section 12.3, this Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Seller Representative, Pubco and the Company (and after the Closing, the Purchaser Representative), and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Party of its obligations hereunder.

12.3 Third Parties. Except for the rights of the D&O Indemnified Persons set forth in Section 8.15, which the Parties acknowledge and agree are express third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any Person that is not a Party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a Party.

12.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all Actions (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws (both substantive and procedural) of the State of New York. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in New York, New York (or in any court in which appeal from such courts may be taken) (the “Specified Courts”). Each Party hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive personal and subject matter jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party hereto and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject to the personal or subject matter jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Action relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such Party at the applicable address set forth in Section 12.1. Nothing in this Section 12.4 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

12.5 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.5.

12.6 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties may have not adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. 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.

12.7 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. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

12.8 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by the Purchaser (or, after the Closing, the Purchaser Representative), Pubco, the Company, and the Seller Representative.

12.9 Waiver. Each of the Purchaser (or, after the Closing, the Purchaser Representative), Pubco and the Company on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, may in its sole discretion (i) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other non-Affiliated Party hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties by such other non-Affiliated Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance by such other non-Affiliated Party with any covenant or condition contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement after the Closing by Pubco or the Purchaser shall also require the prior written consent of the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative.

12.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents or instruments referred to herein, including any exhibits, annexes and schedules attached hereto, which exhibits, annexes and schedules are incorporated herein by reference, together with the Ancillary Documents, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein.
