BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT

THIS BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of June 6, 2020, by and among HL Acquisitions Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“HL”), Fusion Welcome – Fuel, S.A., a public limited company domiciled in Portugal, sociedade anónima (the “Company”), Dolya Holdco 3 Limited, private limited company domiciled in Ireland (“Parent”), Fusion Fuel Atlantic Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the shareholders of the Company set forth on the signature pages hereto (“Company Shareholders”). The term “Agreement” as used herein refers to this Business Combination Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time, and all schedules hereto (including the Company Schedule and the HL Schedule, as defined in the preambles to Articles III and V hereof, respectively). Each of Parent, HL, Merger Sub, the Company, and the Company Shareholders are referred to herein, individually, as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties”. Except as otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

A. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the Business Companies Act, 2004 of the British Virgin Islands (the “BVI Companies Act”) the Commercial Companies Code of Portugal, Decree-Law No. 262/86 – Official Gazette No. 201/1986 (“Portuguese Companies Act”), and the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland (the “the Irish Companies Act” and together with the BVI Companies Act and the Portuguese Companies Act, the “Corporate Law”), the Parties intend to enter into a business combination transaction by which (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into HL (the “Merger”) with HL being the surviving entity of the Merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Surviving BVI Company”), followed immediately by (ii) the acquisition by Parent of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company (the “Share Exchange”, and together with the Merger, the “Transactions”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

B. Parent is a newly formed entity formed for the purpose of consummating the Transactions, and upon completion of the Transactions and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Parent will become the sole direct owner of the Company and the Surviving BVI Company.

C. The boards of directors of each of HL and the Company has approved this Agreement and determined that this Agreement and the Transactions and other transactions contemplated hereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, their respective companies and their respective shareholders.

D. The Parties intend, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that the Merger, taken together with the Share Exchange, shall constitute a transaction that qualifies as a reorganization governed by Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or an exchange governed by Section 351 of the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

Article I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. On the Closing Date, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the BVI Companies Act, Merger Sub shall merge with and into HL, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and HL shall continue as the Surviving BVI Company after the Merger and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger will be consummated immediately upon the filing of Articles of Merger with the Registrar of Companies of the British Virgin Islands, or at such other time as may be agreed by HL and the Company in writing and specified in such filings (the “Effective Time”). The effect of the Merger will be as provided in this Agreement, the Articles of Merger, and the applicable provisions of the BVI Companies Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Parties or the holders of any of the securities of HL, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers, franchises, debts, liabilities, and duties of HL and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving BVI Company.

1.2 Governing Documents. At the Effective Time, the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Merger Sub shall become the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Surviving BVI Company.

1.3 Effect on Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parties or the holders of any of the securities of HL, the following shall occur:

(a) Conversion of HL Ordinary Shares. Other than any shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.3(g) and any HL Ordinary Shares owned by HL Shareholders who have validly elected to receive a portion of the proceeds held in HL’s Trust Fund in exchange for the surrender of HL Ordinary Shares (each, a “Converting Shareholder”), each HL Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted, at the Effective Time, into one Parent Class A Ordinary Share (the “HL Merger Shares”). From and after the Effective Time, each certificate or book entry position that evidenced HL Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Merger shall entitle the holder to the applicable number of HL Merger Shares into which such certificate or book entry position is convertible according to this Section 1.3(a) and all HL Ordinary Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist; provided, however, that each HL certificate or book entry position owned by a Converting Shareholder shall entitle the Converting Shareholder to receive only such portion of the Trust Fund as provided for in HL’s Charter Documents.

(b) Adjustment of HL Warrants. At the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase one HL Ordinary Share (each, an “HL Warrant”) shall remain outstanding but shall be automatically adjusted to become a warrant to purchase one Parent Class A Ordinary Share (each, an “HL Parent Warrant”). Each such HL Parent Warrant will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement between HL and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as the warrant agent (“Warrant Agreement”) immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any repurchase rights and cashless exercise provisions), except that each HL Parent Warrant will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole Parent Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the number of HL Ordinary Shares that were issuable upon exercise of such HL Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Conversion of HL Rights. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding right exchangeable for one tenth of one HL Ordinary Share (each, an “HL Right”) will be automatically exchanged for one tenth of one HL Ordinary Share in accordance with the terms of the HL Rights. At the Effective Time, each HL Ordinary Share issued upon the exchange of an HL Right shall be automatically converted into one Parent Class A Ordinary Share according to Section 1.3(a).

(d) Exchange of UPO. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, HL and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) shall enter into an agreement (the “UPO Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which EBC shall agree, on behalf of itself and the other holders of the HL UPOs, to exchange such HL UPOs for an aggregate of 50,000 HL Ordinary Shares. At the Effective Time, each HL Ordinary Share issued upon exchange of an HL UPO shall be automatically converted into Parent Class A Ordinary Shares according to Section 1.3(a).

(e) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The number of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Class A Ordinary Shares), extraordinary cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Class A Ordinary Shares occurring on or after the date hereof but at or prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a Parent Class A Ordinary Share will be issued by virtue of the Merger or by virtue of the exchange of HL Rights provided for in Section 1.3, and each holder of HL Ordinary Shares or HL Rights who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Parent Class A Ordinary Share at any time Parent Class A Ordinary Shares are distributed to any such Person pursuant to this Agreement (after aggregating all fractional shares that otherwise would be received by such holder in connection with such distribution) shall receive from Parent, in lieu of such fractional share, one (1) Parent Class A Ordinary Share.

(g) Cancellation of Treasury and Parent-Owned Stock. Each HL Ordinary Share, HL Warrant, and HL Right held by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, or HL or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of any of the foregoing immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion or payment in respect thereof.

(h) Conversion of Merger Sub Stock into Stock of Surviving BVI Corporation. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving BVI Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted. From and after the Effective Time, each share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist.

1.4 Tax Consequences. It is intended by the Parties hereto that the Transactions together will be treated as a reorganization governed by Section 368 of the Code or an integrated exchange governed by Section 351 of the Code.

1.5 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest Surviving BVI Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers, and franchises of HL and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of Parent, HL and Merger Sub will take all such lawful and necessary action.

1.6 Sponsor Agreement. As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, and in any event prior to the SEC Approval Date, Parent, HL and the Sponsors shall enter into an agreement (the “Sponsor Agreement”) providing that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Sponsors will forfeit, and HL will terminate and cancel, pro rata, an aggregate of 125,000 HL Ordinary Shares and 125,000 HL Warrants. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, HL and the Sponsors shall jointly notify Continental, HL’s transfer agent and the escrow agent acting pursuant to the escrow agreement entered into with HL and the Sponsors on June 27, 2018 (“Stock Escrow Agreement”), of the forfeiture and cancellation of HL Ordinary Shares and HL Warrants pursuant to this Section 1.6.

Article II

THE SHARE EXCHANGE

2.1 The Share Exchange.

(a) The Share Exchange. Immediately after the Effective Time, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Portuguese Companies Act and the Irish Companies Act, each Company Shareholder shall assign, transfer, and deliver, free and clear of all Liens, all of the Company Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding on the Closing Date, to Parent. In consideration of the sale and transfer of the Company Ordinary Shares to Parent, on the Closing Date, upon surrender by a Company Shareholder to Parent of the certificate or certificates (if any) representing the Company Ordinary Shares, Parent shall issue to each Company Shareholder, and such Company Shareholder shall be entitled to receive, its Pro Rata Portion of Company Consideration (subject to the Parent Class B Ordinary Shares comprising the Escrow Fund being placed into escrow in accordance with the terms of Section 2.5 and the Indemnification Escrow Agreement).

(b) Adjustments to Company Consideration. The Company Consideration issuable pursuant to this Article II shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Class A Ordinary Shares), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Class A Ordinary Shares or Parent Class B Ordinary Shares occurring on or after the date hereof but at or prior to the Effective Time (or, as it relates to the Escrow Fund or Contingent Consideration, prior to the date of respective issuance).

(c) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a Parent Class B Ordinary Share or Parent Warrant will be issued by virtue of the Share Exchange or the Contingent Consideration, and each holder of Company Ordinary Shares who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Parent Class B Ordinary Share or a fraction of a Parent Warrant at any time a Pro Rata Portion of Company Consideration is distributed to any such Person pursuant to this Agreement (after aggregating all fractional shares or warrants that otherwise would be received by such holder in connection with such distribution) shall receive from Parent, in lieu of such fractional share or warrant, one (1) Parent Class B Ordinary Share or one (1) Parent Warrant, as applicable.

(d) Cancellation of Treasury; Parent-Owned Securities and Parent Ordinary Shares. Each Company Ordinary Share held by the Company, Parent, HL, or Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of any of the foregoing immediately prior to the Effective Time and each Parent Class A Ordinary Share and Parent Class B Ordinary Share held by the Company, Parent, HL, or Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of any of the foregoing or any nominee or representative thereof shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion or payment in respect thereof.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights. Until surrendered as contemplated by Section 2.1(a), the Company Ordinary Shares shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive a Pro Rata Portion of Company Consideration and any dividends or other distributions as contemplated by Section 2.1(b). If, after the Effective Time, Company Ordinary Shares are presented to Parent or the Company for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in Section 2.1(a).

(f) Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any certificates representing Company Ordinary Shares shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof in a form satisfactory to Parent, Parent shall issue to each Company Shareholder its Pro Rata Portion of Company Consideration into which the Company Ordinary Shares formerly represented by such certificates were converted into and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.1(b); provided, however, that, as a condition precedent to the delivery of each such Pro Rata Portion of Company Consideration, the Company Shareholder shall indemnify Parent against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Company with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed.

2.2 Tax Consequences. It is intended by the Parties hereto that the Transactions together will be treated as a reorganization governed by Section 368 of the Code or an integrated exchange governed by Section 351 of the Code.

2.3 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, the officers and directors of Parent, the Company, the Company Shareholders, and the Company Shareholder Representative will take all such lawful and necessary action.

2.4 Contingent Consideration.

(a) The Company Shareholders shall be issued their Pro Rata Percentage of the Contingent Consideration earnable with respect to each Power Purchase Agreement entered into between the Company (or an Affiliate of the Company) and a Qualifying Counterparty on or before June 30, 2022 (the Contingent Consideration earned in respect of each Power Purchase Agreement, the “Project Contingent Consideration”), upon the satisfaction of the conditions below (each condition an “Earnout Condition” and the date the Earnout Condition is satisfied, the “Measurement Date”):

(i) one-third of the Project Contingent Consideration upon the signing of the Power Purchase Agreement;

(ii) one-sixth of the Project Contingent Consideration upon signing an agreement for bank financing representing at least seventy percent (70%) of the projected capital cost of the project;

(iii) one-sixth of the Project Contingent Consideration upon commencement of operations under the Power Purchase Agreement; and

(iv) one-third of the Project Contingent Consideration after ninety days of operation at ninety-five percent (95%) of nameplate capacity;

provided, that, following the achievement of all four Earnout Conditions with respect to any one Power Purchase Agreement, all Project Contingent Consideration will be deemed earned and payable for each other subsequent Power Purchase Agreement upon the signing of the respective Power Purchase Agreement (and will be immediately payable with respect to any Power Purchase Agreement already signed as of such date).

(b) As used herein, a “Qualifying Counterparty” means an entity listed in Schedule 2.4(b), which schedule may be modified or amended by mutual consent of the Company and HL from time to time up to the Closing.

(c) The aggregate number of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares and Parent Warrants earnable as Project Contingent Consideration with respect to each project with a Qualifying Counterparty shall be equal to the quotient of (i) twenty percent (20%) of the Net Present Value of the Power Purchase Agreement divided by (ii) €10.73, representing the aggregate agreed value of one Parent Class A Ordinary Share and one Parent Warrant. The “Net Present Value” of a Power Purchase Agreement shall be equal to (x) the sum of the projected unlevered free cash flows of the project each year, using a discount rate of seven percent (7%), less (y) the projected initial investment for the project, assuming a two percent (2%) management fee and no contingency.

(d) The aggregate Contingent Consideration issuable hereunder shall not exceed 1,137,000 Parent Class A Ordinary Shares and 1,137,000 Parent Warrants, which the Parties agree represents an aggregate of €61 million of Net Present Value of Power Purchase Agreements.

(e) At least five Business Days prior to the execution of a Power Purchase Agreement, Parent shall provide its calculation of Project Contingent Consideration with respect thereto to the HL Representative, which calculation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties unless, within ten Business Days after its receipt of such calculation, the HL Representative notifies Parent in writing that it disputes any of the amounts set forth therein, specifying the nature of the dispute and the basis therefor. Parent and the HL Representative shall in good faith attempt to resolve any dispute and amend the aggregate Project Contingent Consideration to the extent necessary to reflect the resolution of the dispute. If Parent and the HL Representative do not reach agreement in resolving the dispute within ten Business Days after the dispute notice is given to Parent by the HL Representative, Parent and the HL Representative shall submit the dispute to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP or, if Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP is unable to serve, Parent and the HL Representative shall appoint by mutual agreement an independent valuation firm with expertise in the energy sector (the “Independent Expert”). Within thirty 30 days of such submission, the Independent Expert shall determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Independent Expert shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Parent and the HL Representative, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and the resulting Project Contingent Consideration which shall be conclusive and binding. All expenses relating to the engagement of the Independent Expert shall be borne by Parent. Parent and the HL Representative shall make available to the Independent Expert such books, records, work papers and other information as the Independent Expert may request and that are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Expert any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss issues with the Independent Expert (provided, that Parent and the HL Representative shall not, and shall each cause its representatives not to, engage in any ex parte communications with the Independent Expert during the term of its engagement).

(f) If an Earnout Condition has been satisfied, the Project Contingent Consideration earned with respect to such Earnout Condition will be issued by the Parent within five (5) Business Days of the applicable Measurement Date, with no action being required on the part of the Company Shareholders. At all times while Contingent Consideration is earnable, Parent shall keep available for issuance a sufficient number of unissued Parent Class A Ordinary Shares (including Parent Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Parent Warrants forming a part of the Contingent Consideration) to permit Parent to satisfy its issuance obligations set forth in this Section 2.4 and shall take all actions required to increase the authorized number of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized unissued shares to permit such reservation.

(g) The Parties understand and agree that (i) the right to receive any Contingent Consideration shall not be represented by any form of certificate or other instrument, are not transferable except by operation of Legal Requirements relating to descent and distribution, divorce and community property, and do not constitute an equity or ownership interest in Parent, and (ii) the Company Shareholders shall not have any rights as a securityholder of Parent as a result of the Company Shareholders’ right to receive any Contingent Consideration hereunder.

2.5 Indemnification Escrow. As the sole remedy of the Indemnitees for the indemnity obligations of the Company Shareholders set forth in Article XI, at the Closing, Parent shall deposit in escrow an aggregate of 212,500 Parent Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Escrow Fund”), which will be allocated among the Company Shareholders in the same proportions as the total Company Consideration is allocated among them, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement to be entered into at the Closing between Parent, the Company, the Company Shareholder Representative, the Surviving BVI Company, the HL Representative, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) as escrow agent (the “Indemnification Escrow Agreement”). The Indemnification Escrow Agreement will provide that, on the tenth (10th) Business Day after Parent files its annual report for the year ending December 31, 2021 (the “Escrow Termination Date”), subject to any holdback for unresolved claims as provided in the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, Continental will release the Escrow Fund, less that portion of the Escrow Fund applied in satisfaction of or reserved with respect to indemnification claims made prior to such date, to the Company Shareholders in the same proportions as originally deposited into escrow.

2.6 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 10.1, the consummation of the Transactions (the “Closing”), other than the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Registrar of Companies of the British Virgin Islands with respect to the Merger, shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, counsel to HL, The Chrysler Building, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000 at a time and date to be specified by HL and the Company, which shall be no later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article IX, or at such other time, date and location as HL and the Company hereto agree in writing (the “Closing Date”). Closing signatures may be transmitted by facsimile or by email .pdf files.

2.7 HL Representative. HL has designated Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx as the initial representative (the “HL Representative”) to represent the interests of the HL Shareholders after the Closing for purposes of approving amendments to this Agreement and the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, giving consents and approvals hereunder and thereunder, and making those determinations hereunder and thereunder that are specifically reserved to the HL Representative by the terms hereof and thereof. If such Person ceases to serve in such capacity, for any reason, HL (or, following the Closing, those members of the board of directors of Parent who were members of the board of directors of HL prior to the Closing) shall appoint its successor. The HL Representative shall (i) have no liability to Parent, HL, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the foregoing or any equityholder of any of the foregoing (including any HL Shareholder) with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as the HL Representative, and (ii) be entitled to indemnification by Parent against any loss, liability, or expenses arising out of actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as the HL Representative.

If such Person ceases to serve in such capacity, for any reason, the Company Shareholders (or, following the Closing, those members of the board of directors of Parent who were shareholders of the Company prior to the Closing) shall appoint its successor. The Company Shareholder Representative shall (i) have no liability to Parent, the Company Shareholders, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the foregoing or any equityholder of any of the foregoing (including any Company Shareholder) with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as the Company Shareholder Representative, and (ii) be entitled to indemnification by Parent against any loss, liability, or expenses arising out of actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as the Company Shareholder Representative.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may respond to any such proposal, offer or submission by indicating only that the Company is subject to an exclusivity agreement and is unable to provide any information related to the Company and its Subsidiaries or entertain any proposals or offers or engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning a competing transaction for as long as that exclusivity agreement remains in effect. The Parties agree that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 7.3 include specific performance, it being acknowledged and agreed that any breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the non-breaching Party and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy for such injury.

(c) Any language included in a Reviewable Document that reflects the comments of the reviewing Party, as well as any text as to which the reviewing Party has not commented upon after being given a reasonable opportunity to comment, shall be deemed to have been approved by the reviewing Party and may henceforth be used by other Party in other Reviewable Documents and in other documents distributed by the other Party in connection with the Transactions without further review or consent of the reviewing Party.

This paragraph will survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason and will not expire and will not be altered in any way without the express written consent of HL.

8.8 Disclosure of Certain Matters. Each of HL and the Company will provide the others with prompt written notice of any event, development or condition of which it obtains knowledge that (a) would cause, if existing or known on the date hereof, such Party’s representations and warranties to be or become untrue or misleading or which would prevent it from consummating the Transactions, (b) had it existed or been known on the date hereof would have been required to be discussed under this Agreement, (c) gives such Party any reasonable basis to believe that any of the conditions to the obligations of the other Party set forth in Article IX will not be satisfied, (d) is of a nature that is or may be materially adverse to the operations, prospects, or condition (financial or otherwise) of Parent, or (e) would require any amendment or supplement to the Form F-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

(c) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Parent shall not and shall not permit the Surviving BVI Company, the Company or any Subsidiary to amend, repeal or otherwise modify any provision in its respective Charter Documents relating to the exculpation or indemnification (including fee advancement) of any officers or directors (unless required by law), it being the intent of the parties that the D&O Indemnified Persons shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification (including fee advancement) to the full extent of the law. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving BVI Company, the Company, and each Subsidiary to, honor and perform under all indemnification obligations owed to any of the D&O Indemnified Persons.

(d) Upon the Closing, Parent shall purchase a prepaid insurance policy (i.e., “tail coverage”) which policy provides liability insurance coverage for the D&O Indemnified Persons on no less favorable terms (including in amount and scope) as the policy or policies maintained by HL or the Company immediately prior to the Closing for the benefit of such individuals for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years with respect to claims arising from acts, events or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Closing, including with respect to the Transactions. The cost of such policy shall be borne by Parent. Such policy shall be from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the current insurance carrier(s) of HL and the Company with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

(e) Upon the Closing, Parent shall purchase a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in an amount to be mutually agreed by the Company and HL which policy provides liability insurance coverage with respect to claims arising from acts, events or omissions that occur after the Closing. The cost of such policy shall be borne by Parent. Such policy shall be from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the current insurance carrier(s) of HL and the Company with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

(f) If Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent assume the obligations set forth in this Section 8.10.

(g) The provisions of this Section 8.10 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Persons and may not be changed after Closing without the consent of the HL Representative and a majority of those D&O Indemnified Persons serving on Parent’s board of directors after the Closing Date.

8.11 Insider Loans. The Company shall cause each Insider of the Company or its Subsidiaries to, at or prior to Closing (i) repay to the Company any loan by the Company to such Insider and any other amount owed by such Insider to the Company; and (ii) cause any guaranty or similar arrangement pursuant to which the Company has guaranteed the payment or performance of any obligations of such Insider to a third party to be terminated.

8.12 HL Borrowings. Through the Closing, HL shall be allowed to borrow funds from its directors, officers, shareholders, and each of their Affiliates to meet its reasonable capital requirements, with any such loans to be made only as reasonably required by the operation of HL in due course on a non-interest bearing basis and be repayable in cash at Closing (or convertible into securities of HL as described in the Final Prospectus) (such aggregate amount of outstanding borrowings, the “HL Borrowings”).

8.13 Trust Fund Disbursement. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article IX and provision of notice to Continental (which notice HL shall provide in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement), in accordance with and pursuant to the Trust Agreement, at the Closing, HL shall cause the documents, opinions, and notices required to be delivered to Continental pursuant to the Trust Agreement to be so delivered, including providing Continental with the trust termination letter. The trust termination letter shall include an updated Trust Disbursement Schedule to reflect the amount of all payments to be made out of the Trust Fund (or to Parent for further disbursement thereof) at or prior to the Closing, accrued to the date of the Closing, which shall be prepared by HL with the assistance of the Company, which up-dated schedule shall constitute the Trust Disbursement Schedule. HL shall use its best efforts to cause Continental to, and Continental shall thereupon be obligated to, distribute the Trust Fund as directed in the trust termination letter, including all amounts payable as set forth in the Trust Disbursement Schedule and all remaining funds to Parent. Thereafter, the Trust Fund shall terminate, except as otherwise provided therein. All liabilities and obligations of HL due and owing or incurred at or prior to the Closing Date shall be paid as and when due, including all amounts payable as set forth herein.

8.14 Intended Tax Treatment. On or after the date hereof, none of the Parties shall take any action, or fail to take any action, and following the Transactions the Parent shall prevent the Company and Surviving BVI Company from taking any action or failing to take any action, which action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Transactions from qualifying as a reorganization governed by Section 368 of the Code or an exchange governed by Section 351 of the Code, as applicable. The Parties will in all Tax Returns report the Transactions in a manner consistent with such tax treatment, and no Party will take a position inconsistent with that treatment, unless required to do otherwise pursuant to a final determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code (or pursuant to any similar provision of applicable state, local or foreign Legal Requirements). For the avoidance of doubt, the receipt of any portion of the Contingent Consideration shall be treated and reported for income tax purposes as being received as additional merger consideration as part of the “reorganization” in accordance with the Code.

8.15 Incentive Equity Plan. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be adopted the Parent Plan, the proposed form and terms of which shall be prepared and delivered by the Company and which shall be reasonably acceptable to HL. Parent shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form or comparable form in another relevant jurisdiction) relating to Parent Class A Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the Parent Plan. Such registration statement shall be filed no later than sixty (60) days after the date of the Closing Form 20-F (or as soon as reasonably practicable after the expiration of such sixty (60)-day period that registration of shares on Form S-8 (or any successor form or comparable form in another relevant jurisdiction) first becomes available to Parent), and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as any awards issued under the Parent Plan remain outstanding.

8.16 Employment Agreements. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall enter into employment agreements, in a form which is reasonably acceptable to the Company and HL, with the Company executives listed in Schedule 8.16 on terms reasonably acceptable to such executives (the “Employment Agreements”).

8.17 Third Party Consents. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to assemble, prepare, and file any information (and, as needed, to supplement such information) as may be reasonably necessary to obtain as promptly as practicable all governmental and regulatory consent required to be obtained in connection with the Transactions, (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents and approvals of third parties that such Party or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is required to obtain in order to consummate the Transactions, and (c) take such other action as may reasonably be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably request to satisfy the conditions set forth in Article IX or otherwise to comply with this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable.

8.18 Amendment to the Stock Escrow Agreement. HL shall enter into an amendment to the Stock Escrow Agreement to add Parent as a party, reflect the forfeiture of HL Ordinary Shares by the Sponsors pursuant to Section 2.6, and change all references of HL Ordinary Shares to Parent Class A Ordinary Shares.

8.19 Amendment to the Warrant Agreement. Parent and HL shall (a) enter into an assignment and assumption agreement pursuant to which HL will assign to Parent all of its rights, interests, and obligations in and under the Warrant Agreement and (b) amend the Warrant Agreement to change all references of HL Warrants to HL Parent Warrants (and all references of HL Ordinary Shares underlying such warrants to Parent Class A Ordinary Shares), which shall cause each outstanding HL Warrant to represent the right to receive, on the Closing Date, that number of whole Parent Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the number of HL Ordinary Shares that were issuable upon exercise of such HL Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, and add the Parent Warrants to be issued to the Company Shareholders in the Share Exchange as warrants covered by the Warrant Agreement (collectively, the “Amended Warrant Agreement”). Certificates representing the HL Warrants need not be surrendered and exchanged because of adjustments made pursuant to this Section 8.19; provided however, that any holder of HL Warrants may at any time surrender to Parent certificate(s) representing such HL Warrants and request replacement certificates representing the HL Parent Warrant received in exchange therefor, which shall not affect the interest of any such warrantholders and shall only be adjusted as set forth in this Section 8.19. Parent shall issue any such replacement certificates representing HL Parent Warrants within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of a written request from the holder of an HL Warrant.

8.20 Transfer Restrictions. The Company Shareholders shall not transfer the Parent Class B Ordinary Shares to be received as Company Consideration hereunder (including the Parent Class B Ordinary Shares included in the Escrow Fund) or the Parent Class A Ordinary Shares issuable as Contingent Consideration or upon exercise of Parent Warrants (if issued prior to the end of the following periods), except to Permitted Transferees, for a period ending on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, or earlier if, subsequent to the Closing Date, Parent consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of Parent’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. The book entry positions or certificates evidencing Parent Class A Ordinary Shares and Parent Class B Ordinary Shares issued hereunder will each include prominent disclosure or bear a prominent legend evidencing the fact that such shares are subject to such transfer restrictions.

8.21 Sublease Agreement. At or prior to the Closing, the Company shall execute and deliver a sublease agreement with MagP Inovação, S.A. as sublessor, and obtain all requisite approvals in connection therewith, on terms no less favorable to the Company than would be obtained from an independent third party and otherwise reasonably acceptable to HL.

8.22 Registration Rights Agreement. At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall execute and deliver a Registration Rights Agreement in a form to be mutually agreed upon in substance reasonable and customary for transactions of a similar nature, pursuant to which, among other things, Parent will register for resale under the Securities Act Parent Class A Ordinary Shares issued or issuable pursuant to this Agreement (including the Parent Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Parent Class B Ordinary Shares issued hereunder, the Parent Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Parent Warrants, any and all earned Contingent Consideration and the Parent Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Parent Warrants that are issued as Contingent Consideration).

8.23 Shareholders Agreement. At or prior to the Closing, Parent, the Company Shareholders and the Sponsor shall enter into an agreement (“Shareholders Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company Shareholders will have the right to nominate up to four members of Parent’s board of directors, and the Sponsors will have the right to nominate up to three members of Parent’s board of directors, following the consummation of the Transactions.

8.24 Reservation of Shares. At all times while any HL Parent Warrants or Parent Warrants issuable hereunder are outstanding, the Parent shall authorize and reserve for issuance, and will at all times keep reserved for issuance, the maximum number of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares as will be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants from time to time. All such Parent Class A Ordinary Shares that shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will be free from preemptive rights, all taxes, liens and charges in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously or otherwise specified herein).

8.25 Extension Proxy Statement.

(a) At such time as mutually agreed by HL and the Company, HL shall prepare (with the Company’s reasonable cooperation) and file with the SEC, a mutually acceptable proxy statement (such proxy statement, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Extension Proxy Statement”) to amend HL’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the time period for HL to consummate a Business Combination (as defined in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association) from July 2, 2020 to a date mutually agreed upon by HL and the Company (the “Extension Proposal”). HL shall use its best efforts to cause the Extension Proxy Statement to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, and to have the Extension Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as promptly as practicable after such filing.

(b) Each of HL and the Company shall ensure that none of the information supplied by or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Extension Proxy Statement will, at the date it is first mailed to the HL Shareholders and at the time of the Extension Shareholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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 are made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the Extension Shareholders’ Meeting any information relating to HL, the Company, the Parent, Merger Sub, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors or officers is discovered by HL or the Company, which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Extension Proxy Statement, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed promptly with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, disseminated to the HL Shareholders.

(c) At such time as mutually agreed by HL and the Company, HL shall (i) cause the Extension Proxy Statement to be disseminated to holders of HL Ordinary Shares in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, (ii) duly give notice of and convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Extension Shareholders’ Meeting”) in accordance with its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Nasdaq Listing Rules, (iii) solicit proxies from the HL Shareholders to vote in favor of each of the Extension Proposal, and (iv) provide the HL Shareholders with the opportunity to elect to effect a share redemption in accordance with the terms of HL’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. HL shall, through its board of directors, recommend to its shareholders the approval of the Extension Proposal (the “HL Extension Approval”), and include such recommendation in the Extension Proxy Statement. The board of directors of HL shall not withdraw, amend, qualify or modify its recommendation to the HL Shareholders that they vote in favor of the Extension Proposal. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, (x) HL’s obligations to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Extension Shareholders’ Meeting shall not be affected by any modification in the recommendation of its board of directors with respect to the Extension Proposal, (y) HL shall establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Extension Shareholders’ Meeting and submit for approval the Extension Proposal and (z) if the HL Extension Approval has not been obtained at any such Extension Shareholders’ Meeting, HL shall promptly continue to take all such necessary actions and hold additional Extension Shareholders’ Meetings in order to obtain the HL Extension Approval.

In no event shall “Losses” recoverable under this Agreement be deemed to include (i) indirect, incidental or consequential damages, lost profits, business interruption, special or punitive damages and, in particular, no “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or similar valuation methodology shall be used in calculating the amount of any Losses, (ii) any damages caused by a change in law, administrative practice, the making of any legislation, the withdrawal of extra statutory concession previously made by any taxation or revenue authority or published interpretation of the law, after the date of this Agreement including any increase in the rates of taxation, or any imposition of Taxation or any withdrawal of relief from taxation not in effect at the date of this Agreement whether or not the change purports to be effective retrospectively in whole or part, (iii) any damages caused by any change in GAAP or IFRS, or (iv) any damages caused by any change in the accounting policies or practices of any Party after the date of this Agreement.

11.2 Claims. Any action on account of a Loss (a “Claim”) may be asserted by the HL Representative on behalf of any HL Indemnitee or by the Company Shareholder Representative on behalf of any Company Indemnitee by giving Parent written notice (a “Notice of Claim”) which sets forth (i) a brief description of the nature of the Claim and (ii) the total amount of the actual out-of-pocket Loss or the anticipated potential Loss (including any costs or expenses which have been or may be reasonably incurred in connection therewith). Failure to give prompt Notice of Claim or to provide copies of relevant available documents or to furnish relevant available data will not constitute a defense (in whole or in part) to any Claim and will not affect the Company Shareholders’ or Parent’s, as applicable in the capacity of indemnitors (the “Indemnitors”), duties or obligations under this Article XI, except to the extent (and only to the extent that) such failure has adversely affected the ability of the Indemnitors to defend against or reduce their liability or caused or increased such liability or otherwise caused the damages for which the Indemnitors are obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had the Indemnitee given Parent prompt notice hereunder. Parent will have twenty (20) calendar days after its receipt of the Notice of Claim to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Claim, and the HL Representative or Company Shareholder Representative, as applicable, shall reasonably assist such investigation by giving such information and access to Persons or records as Parent may reasonably request. If Parent does not respond to the Notice of Claim within such twenty (20) calendar day period, Parent will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Claim, and such acceptance will be binding on the Indemnitor. If Parent rejects the Claim, it shall, within such twenty (20) calendar day period, notify the HL Representative or Company Shareholder Representative, as applicable, in writing of its rejection, specifying the factual or legal basis therefor, and Parent and the HL Representative or Company Shareholder Representative, as applicable, shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the Claim. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement within ten (10) calendar days after receipt by the HL Representative or Company Shareholder Representative, as applicable, of such rejection notice, then HL Representative or Company Shareholder Representative, as applicable, may submit the Claim to JAMS Worldwide for binding arbitration under the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, which arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator who shall be mutually agreed by Parent and the HL Representative or Company Shareholder Representative, as applicable. If the parties are unable to agree on the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS. The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York, in the English language. The arbitrator’s fees will be split equally between the parties to the arbitration and each party to the arbitration will be responsible for the payment of its own costs, attorneys’ fees, expert fees and all of its other fees, costs and expenses in connection with any arbitration. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding as to all matters of substance and procedure and may be enforced by an ex parte petition to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or any court having jurisdiction over the non-moving party.

11.3 Insurance Effect. To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article XI are covered by insurance of the Company, HL, Parent, or its or their Subsidiaries, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such insurance; however the Indemnitee (or HL Representative on behalf of an Indemnitee) will nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article XI in respect of such Losses and the time limitations set forth in Section 11.4 for bringing a claim of indemnification under this Agreement will be tolled during the pendency of such insurance claim. The existence of a claim by an Indemnitee for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any Loss will toll any disbursement of the Escrow Fund, if applicable, pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained in this Article XI and the Indemnification Escrow Agreement, if applicable. To the extent an Indemnitee receives proceeds from insurance or other amounts in respect of such Loss, such proceeds shall reduce the amount of Losses subject to indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the Parties that no insurer or any other third party will be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

11.4 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or in any writing delivered by the Parties in connection with this Agreement will survive the Closing until on the tenth (10th) Business Day after Parent files its annual report for the year ending December 31, 2021 (the “Survival Period”). Any claim set forth in a Notice of Claim sent prior to the expiration of the Survival Period will survive until final resolution thereof. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, no claim for indemnification under this Article XI may be brought after the end of the Survival Period.

(b) In no event shall the Company Shareholders’ aggregate indemnification obligations under this Agreement exceed the Escrow Fund.

(c) In no event shall Parent’s aggregate indemnification obligation under this Agreement exceed the Indemnification Pool.

(d) No amount shall be payable under this Article XI unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses otherwise payable by the Company, on the one hand, or the Parent, on the other hand, exceeds €750,000 (the “Threshold”), in which case the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall be liable for all Losses that exceed the Threshold.

11.5 Adjustments to Consideration. Amounts paid for indemnification under Article XI will be deemed to be an adjustment to the Company Consideration or Merger Consideration, as applicable, except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements.

11.6 Payments; Application of Escrow Fund.

(a) Once a Loss payable to an HL Indemnitee is agreed to by the HL Representative and Parent, or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article XI, then the HL Representative and Parent shall issue joint instructions to Continental to effect the forfeiture and cancellation of all or a portion of the Escrow Fund, as appropriate, to satisfy such Losses (it being acknowledged that Continental will hold the remaining portion of the Escrow Fund until final resolution of all claims for indemnification or disputes relating thereto). The Parent Class B Ordinary Shares to be cancelled in satisfaction of Losses will be valued at a price per share equal to the five-day trailing average of the mean of the high and low trading prices of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq as of the five trading days immediately preceding the satisfaction of such Losses.

(b) Once a Loss payable to a Company Indemnitee is agreed to by the Company Shareholder Representative and Parent, or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article XI, then the Parent shall promptly issue to the Company Indemnitee such number of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares from the Indemnification Pool equal to the dollar value of the Loss, with such Parent Class A Ordinary Shares valued at a price per share equal to the five-day trailing average of the mean of the high and low trading prices of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq as of the five trading days immediately preceding the satisfaction of such Losses.

11.7 Exclusive Remedy. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, the sole remedy of the Parties with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be pursuant and subject to the requirements of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XI. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article XI shall in any way impair, modify, or otherwise limit a Party’s right to bring any claim, demand, or suit against any Person based upon actual fraud, it being understood that a mere breach of a representation and warranty does not constitute fraud.

When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections or subsections, such reference shall be to a Section or subsection of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated the words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

12.3 Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and each other document executed in connection with the Transactions, and the consummation thereof, may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same document and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Delivery by electronic transmission to counsel for the other Party of a counterpart executed by a Party shall be deemed to meet the requirements of the previous sentence.

12.4 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, and the Confidentiality Agreement (which will terminate at the Closing) (a) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties and any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the Transactions; and (b) are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder (except as specifically provided in this Agreement, including Section 8.10). No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the Transactions exist between the Parties except as expressly set forth or referenced in this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement.

12.5 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

12.6 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 12.6 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

Each Party hereby agrees not to commence any legal proceedings relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any jurisdiction or courts other than as provided herein. EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

12.9 Rules of Construction. The Parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

12.10 Assignment. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 12.10, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

12.11 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time only by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties. The approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of any Party shall not restrict the ability of the board of directors of such Party to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1 or to cause such Party to enter into an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.11.

12.12 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such Party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

Any United States dollar amounts that need to be converted into Euros shall use the current prevailing exchange rate on the applicable date quoted by the Financial Times (or such other source as the Company and the HL Representative shall reasonably agree in writing).

12.14 Schedules. The information furnished in the Schedules is arranged in sections corresponding to the Sections of this Agreement, and the disclosures in any section of the Schedules shall qualify (a) the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (b) other Sections of this Agreement to the extent (notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross-reference), that it is reasonably apparent on its face that such disclosure is also applicable to such other Sections of this Agreement. The Schedules and the information and disclosures contained in such Schedules are intended only to qualify and limit the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement and shall not be deemed to expand in any way the scope of any such representation or warranty. The inclusion of any information in the Schedules shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment that such information is material or outside the ordinary course of business. The inclusion of any fact or information in a Schedule is not intended to be construed as an admission or concession as to the legal effect of any such fact or information in any proceeding between any party and any Person who is not a party.
