BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT

THIS BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 3, 2023 by and among:

Insight Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “SPAC”);

▇.

▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub Inc., an Alberta corporation (“Amalco Sub”); and

▇.

▇▇▇▇▇ Energy Corporation, an Alberta corporation (the “Company”).

The SPAC, Amalco Sub and the Company are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meaning set forth in ARTICLE XIII.

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the SPAC is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware and formed for the sole purpose of consummating an initial business combination, as such term is used in the final prospectus of the SPAC, dated as of September 27, 2021 (the “IPO Prospectus,” and such initial business combination, the “Business Combination”);

WHEREAS, Amalco Sub is a wholly-owned, direct Subsidiary of the SPAC, and was newly formed for the sole purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Amalgamation;

WHEREAS the Parties intend to carry out the Business Combination, which shall include the Amalgamation, by way of an arrangement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a plan of arrangement under Section 193 of the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) (“ABCA”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Plan of Arrangement”), and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, subject to any amendments or variations to the Plan of Arrangement made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, or made at the direction of the Court in the Final Order with the prior written consent of the Company and the SPAC, each acting reasonably (such arrangement, the “Arrangement”);

WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement:

prior to the Closing, the SPAC will continue (the “SPAC Continuance”) from the State of Delaware under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) to the Province of Alberta under the ABCA (the SPAC is sometimes referred to herein for the periods at and after the SPAC Continuance, the “AB PubCo”); and

at least one Business Day following the SPAC Continuance, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the ABCA, Amalco Sub and the Company will merge to form one corporate entity with the same effect as if they had amalgamated under Section 181 of the ABCA (the “Amalgamation”), and as a result of the Amalgamation, (i) each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Amalgamation Effective Time will be automatically exchanged for the right to receive a number of AB PubCo Common Shares equal to the Conversion Ratio, and (ii) each Company Option and Company Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Amalgamation Effective Time will be assumed by AB PubCo and shall be converted into a Converted Option and Converted Warrant, respectively, and (iii) each Company Debenture issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Amalgamation Effective Time (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Forced Conversion Company Debentures) will be amended to be convertible for common shares of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Surviving Company, which common shares of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Surviving Company, upon issuance following exercise of the applicable Company Debenture, will be immediately and automatically exchanged for an equivalent number of AB PubCo Common Shares;

WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms hereof, the SPAC shall provide an opportunity for the SPAC Shareholders to have their issued and outstanding SPAC Shares redeemed on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the SPAC’s Organizational Documents in connection with obtaining the Required SPAC Shareholder Approval;

WHEREAS, for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, each of the Parties hereby intends that, to the greatest extent permitted by Law, (i) as a result of, and following, the SPAC Continuance, AB PubCo will be treated as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 7874(b) of the Code (the “Inversion”), and (ii) the SPAC Continuance will be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code (the “Intended SPAC Tax Treatment”), and further intends that, to the greatest extent permitted by Law, (iii) the Amalgamation will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Intended Company Tax Treatment”, and together with the Intended SPAC Tax Treatment, the “Intended Tax Treatment”), (iv) each of the Parties will be a party to the reorganization under Section 368(b) of the Code, and (v) this Agreement be, and hereby is, adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for the purposes of Section 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a);

WHEREAS, the SPAC Board has unanimously (i) determined that it is in the best interests of the SPAC and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which it is a party, (ii) approved, among other things, this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereby, including the SPAC Continuance and the Amalgamation, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and (iii) adopted a resolution recommending that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder be submitted to the SPAC Shareholders for their approval;

WHEREAS, the Company Board has unanimously (i) determined that it is fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company Shareholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which it is a party, (ii) approved this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents to which it is a party, and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, including the Amalgamation, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and (iii) agreed to recommend that the Company Shareholders vote in favor of the Arrangement Resolution;

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the SPAC and Meteora Capital Partners or its affiliates (collectively, “Meteora”) have entered into a Forward Share Purchase Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Meteora (i) has committed to purchase and, as of the Closing Date, to hold a certain number of SPAC Shares, and (ii) has agreed that it may purchase additional SPAC Shares from other SPAC Shareholders.

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) and the SPAC Insiders have executed and delivered to the SPAC and the Company an amendment and restatement to the Sponsor Agreement, dated September 1, 2021, by and among the Sponsor, the SPAC Insiders and the SPAC, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “A&R Sponsor Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor and each of the SPAC Insiders have agreed (i) to vote any SPAC Shares held by it or him in favor of the proposed transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) to not redeem any SPAC Shares held by it or him in connection with such approval and (iii) to certain lock-up restrictions with respect to any AB PubCo Shares to be received by it or him hereunder (including Designated ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, if any), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to the SPAC’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Company Earnout Participants have executed and delivered to the SPAC and the Company a Support & Lock-Up Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Company Support & Lock-Up Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the Core Company Securityholder has agreed to vote any Company Shares held by him in favor of (A) the approval of the Plan of Arrangement and the Arrangement Resolution, (B) the Company Shareholder Approval Matters, and (C) the proposed transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Core Company Securityholder

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to the SPAC’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company, the SPAC, the Sponsor, Cantor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. (“Cantor”) and Odeon Capital Group, LLC (“Odeon”) have executed and delivered an amendment and restatement to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated September 1, 2021, by and among the SPAC, the Sponsor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Odeon, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “A&R SPAC Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Odeon have been granted certain registration rights with respect to the AB PubCo Shares to be received by such Persons hereunder (including Designated ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, if any), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

(c)

The Company shall give the SPAC and its legal counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on drafts of the Company Circular and other related documents, and shall accept the reasonable comments made by the SPAC and its legal counsel, and agrees that all information relating solely to the SPAC or any of its affiliates included in the Company Circular must be in a form consistent with the information provided to the Company by the SPAC.

- 5 -

1.6

Court Proceedings.

(a)

In connection with all Court proceedings relating to obtaining the Interim Order and the Final Order, the Company shall diligently pursue, and cooperate with the SPAC in diligently pursuing, the Interim Order and the Final Order, and the Company will provide the SPAC and its legal counsel with reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon drafts of all materials to be filed with the Court in connection with the Arrangement, prior to the service and filing of such materials, and will accept the reasonable comments of the SPAC and its legal counsel with respect to any information required to be supplied by the SPAC and included in such materials. The Company will not file any material with the Court in connection with the Plan of Arrangement or serve any such material, and will not agree to modify or amend any materials so filed or served, except as contemplated by this Agreement or with the SPAC’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that the SPAC is not required to agree or consent to any increase or variation in the form of the consideration payable hereunder or other modification or amendment to such filed or served materials that expands or increases its obligations, or diminishes or limits its rights, set forth in any such filed or served materials or under this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement. In addition, the Company will not object to legal counsel to the SPAC making such submissions on the motion for the Interim Order and the application for the Final Order as such counsel considers appropriate, acting reasonably, provided the SPAC advises the Company of the nature of any such submissions prior to the hearing and such submissions are consistent with this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement. The Company will also provide legal counsel to the SPAC with copies of any notice and evidence served on the Company or its legal counsel in respect of the application for the Final Order or any appeal therefrom, and any notice, written or oral, indicating the intention of any Person to appeal, or oppose the granting of, the Interim Order or Final Order. The Company shall also oppose any proposal from any party that the Final Order contain any provision inconsistent with this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement and, if at any time after the issuance of the Final Order and prior to the Effective Date, the Company is required by the terms of the Final Order or by Law to return to Court with respect to the Final Order, it shall do so after notice to, and in consultation and cooperation with, the SPAC.

1.7

Plan of Arrangement Steps.

The following shall occur on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement.

(a)

Prior to the Closing, the SPAC will consummate the SPAC Continuance, thereby continuing from the State of Delaware to the Province of Alberta under the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the ABCA. Pursuant to the SPAC Continuance, all of the issued and outstanding SPAC Securities shall remain outstanding and become substantially identical securities of AB PubCo as an Alberta corporation, except that each issued and outstanding SPAC Unit that has not been previously separated into SPAC Class A Shares and SPAC Public Warrants prior to the SPAC Continuance shall be converted into securities of AB PubCo as an Alberta corporation identical to one (1) AB PubCo Common Share and one-half (1/2) of one AB PubCo Public Warrant; provided, however, that no such fractional warrants will be issued, and only whole warrants will be issued and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional warrant (after aggregating all fractional warrants that otherwise would be received by such Person) shall instead have the number of warrants issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest whole warrant, pursuant to the SPAC Continuance. Prior to consummating the SPAC Continuance, the SPAC will allow the Company reasonable time to review and comment on the documents needed to effectuate the SPAC Continuance, including the Organizational Documents of AB PubCo as an Alberta corporation as a result of the SPAC Continuance (the “AB PubCo Organizational Documents”), which documents will be in a form reasonable acceptable to the SPAC and the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that references in this Agreement to the “SPAC” shall refer to the SPAC before giving effect to the SPAC Continuance and references in this Agreement to the “AB PubCo” shall refer to such entity after giving effect to the SPAC Continuance.

- 6 -

(b)

At least one Business Day following the SPAC Continuance, and in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement and the applicable provisions of the ABCA, Amalco Sub and the Company will consummate the Amalgamation, pursuant to which Amalco Sub and the Company will amalgamate to form one corporate entity with the same effect as if they had amalgamated under Section 181 of the ABCA (the resulting corporate entity is sometimes referred to herein for the periods at and after the Amalgamation Effective Time as the “▇▇▇▇▇ Surviving Company”).

(c)

Immediately following the Amalgamation, AB PubCo shall effect the Redemption.

1.8

Articles of Arrangement; Amalgamation Effective Time.

(a)

The Articles of Arrangement shall implement the Plan of Arrangement.

(b)

The Parties shall cause the Amalgamation to be consummated by filing the Articles of Amalgamation for the amalgamation of Amalco Sub with the Company, in a form to be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the SPAC (the “Articles of Amalgamation”), pursuant to the provisions of the ABCA (the time of such filing, or such other time as the Company and the SPAC may agree in writing and specify in the Articles of Amalgamation, being the “Amalgamation Effective Time”).

1.9

Effect of the Arrangement.

At the Amalgamation Effective Time, the effect of the Amalgamation shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement, the Articles of Amalgamation and the applicable provisions of the ABCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Amalgamation Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of Amalco Sub and the Company shall be the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Surviving Company, which shall include the assumption by the ▇▇▇▇▇ Surviving Company of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Amalco Sub and the Company set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Amalgamation Effective Time.

1.10

Organizational Documents.

(a)

For the avoidance of doubt, the Forced Conversion Company Debentures will be converted into Company Shares in accordance with Section 6.7, which Company Shares shall be treated in accordance with Section 1.13(a).

(e)

At the Amalgamation Effective Time, by virtue of the Amalgamation and without any action on the part of any Person, AB PubCo shall assume all obligations of the Company under each outstanding Converted Option and Converted Warrant (if not previously exercised in accordance with its terms) and the agreements evidencing the grants thereof.

(h)

The stated capital of the common shares of the ▇▇▇▇▇ Surviving Company will be an amount equal to the total of: (i) the aggregate paid-up capital (as such term is defined in the ITA) of the Company Shares (which in each case, for greater certainty, does not include any paid-up capital attributable to the Company Shares of Company Dissenting Shareholders), and (ii) the aggregate paid-up capital (as such term is defined in the ITA) of the common shares of Amalco Sub.

(i)

There shall be added to the stated capital of the AB PubCo Common Shares an amount equal to the paid-up capital (as such term is defined in the ITA) of the Company Shares described in Section 1.13(a) (which, for greater certainty, does not include any paid-up capital attributable to the Company Shares held by Company Dissenting Shareholders).

At or prior to the Amalgamation Effective Time, the SPAC shall (i) appoint Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as transfer agent and TSX Trust as Canadian co-agent (or other agents reasonably acceptable to the SPAC and the Company) (collectively, the “Exchange Agent”) for the purposes set forth in this Section 1.15 and (ii) deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, the Shareholder Amalgamation Consideration to be issued pursuant to the Amalgamation.

(b)

At or prior to the Amalgamation Effective Time, AB PubCo shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each Company Shareholder holding Company Securities evidenced by Certificates (the “Certificates”) or represented by book-entry (the “Book-Entry Shares”) and not held by the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or the Canadian Depository for Securities (“CDS”), a letter of transmittal for use in such exchange, in a form to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the “Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that the delivery of the exchanged AB PubCo Common Shares shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and appropriate Certificates, if any (or a Lost Certificate Affidavit)), to the Exchange Agent for use in such exchange.

(c)

With respect to Book-Entry Shares, including the AB PubCo Common Shares, held through the DTC or CDS, the SPAC and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Exchange Agent, DTC or CDS to ensure that the Exchange Agent will transmit to DTC or CDS, as the case may be (or their respective nominees) as soon as reasonably practicable on or after the Closing Date, upon surrender of Book-Entry Shares held of record by DTC or CDS (or their respective nominees) in accordance with customary surrender procedures, the applicable AB PubCo Common Shares to be exchanged for such Book-Entry Shares held through the DTC or CDS, as applicable.

(d)

Each Company Shareholder shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share of the Shareholder Amalgamation Consideration in respect of the Company Shares tendered for exchange, within 30 days after the Effective Time, but subject to the delivery to the Exchange Agent of the following items prior thereto (collectively, the “Transmittal Documents”): (i) the Company Certificate(s), if any, for its Company Shares (or a Lost Certificate Affidavit), or a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and (ii) such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the Exchange Agent or AB PubCo. Until so surrendered, each Company Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such portion of the Shareholder Amalgamation Consideration attributable to such Company Certificate.

(e)

If any portion of the Shareholder Amalgamation Consideration is to be delivered or issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Company Certificate is registered immediately prior to the Effective Time, it shall be a condition to such delivery that: (i) the transfer of such Company Shares shall have been permitted in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Organizational Documents and any shareholders agreement with respect to the Company, each as in effect immediately prior to the Amalgamation Effective Time, (ii) such Company Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, (iii) the recipient of such portion of the Shareholder Amalgamation Consideration, or the Person in whose name such portion of the Shareholder Amalgamation Consideration is delivered or issued, shall have already executed and delivered such other Transmittal Documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Exchange Agent or AB PubCo, and (iv) the Person requesting such delivery shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such delivery to a Person other than the registered holder of such Company Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any Company Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, in lieu of delivery of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent, the Company Shareholder may instead deliver to the Exchange Agent an affidavit of lost certificate and indemnity of loss in form and substance reasonably acceptable to AB PubCo (a “Lost Certificate Affidavit”), which at the reasonable discretion of AB PubCo may include a

- 10 -

requirement that the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against AB PubCo or the Company with respect to the Company Shares represented by the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date of this Agreement with respect to AB PubCo Common Shares with a record date after the Amalgamation Effective Time will be paid to the holders of any Company Shares that has not yet been surrendered with respect to the AB PubCo Common Shares to be issued upon surrender thereof until the holders of record of such Company Shares shall surrender the Company Certificates, if any (or provide a Lost Certificate Affidavit), or provide the other Transmittal Documents. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Company Certificates, if any (or delivery of a Lost Certificate Affidavit), or delivery of the other Transmittal Documents, AB PubCo shall promptly deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, the certificates (if any) representing the AB PubCo Common Shares issued in exchange therefor and the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Amalgamation Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such AB PubCo Common Shares.

(h)

All securities issued upon the surrender of Company Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Securities.

(i)

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

1.16

Earnout.

(a)

Following the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company who are residents of Canada for the purposes of the ITA and not subject to the provisions of the Code, each as set forth on Schedule 1.16(a) (the “Company Earnout Participants”), shall have the contingent right to receive up to an additional 5,000,000 AB PubCo Common Shares (subject to equitable adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the Closing, including to account for any equity securities into which such AB PubCo Common Shares are exchanged or converted) (the “Company Earnout Shares”). On the forty-fifth (45^th) Business Day following the achievement of the Earnout Milestone (as hereinafter defined), the Company Earnout Participants will be entitled to receive one-hundred percent (100%) of the Company Earnout Shares if, for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty (30)-consecutive Trading Day period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is forty-eight (48) months following the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”), the VWAP of AB PubCo Common Shares equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the Closing) (the “Earnout Milestone”); provided, however, that each such Company Earnout Participant must have continued to serve as a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company (or AB Pubco, as its successor) up to the time of the achievement of the Earnout Milestone to be entitled to receive any Company Earnout Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Earnout Milestone is not achieved during the Earnout Period, the Company Earnout Participants will not be entitled to receive any of the Company Earnout Shares.

(b)

Following the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, certain designees of the SPAC, as specified by the SPAC to the Company in writing prior to the Closing (the “Designated Earnout Participants”), shall have the contingent right to receive up to an additional 2,000,000 AB PubCo Common Shares (subject to equitable adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the Closing, including to account for any equity securities into which such AB PubCo Common Shares are exchanged or converted) (the “Designated Earnout Shares,” and together with the Company Earnout Shares, the “Earnout Shares”).

(c)

Promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days, following the end of each monthly anniversary of the Closing during the Earnout Period, AB PubCo’s Chief Financial Officer will calculate (i) the VWAP of the AB PubCo Common Shares on each Trading Day for such monthly anniversary period and (ii) whether the Earnout Milestone has been achieved during the Earnout Period.

(d)

With respect to the Company Earnout Participants, if the Earnout Milestone is achieved during the Earnout Period, then:

(i)

within two (2) Business Days of the Earnout Milestone having been achieved, AB PubCo will deliver written notice to each of the Company Earnout Participants that the Earnout Milestone has been achieved (the “Milestone Achievement Notice”);

(ii)

the Company Earnout Participants shall have thirty (30) Business Days from the date of the Milestone Achievement Notice to provide written notice (the “Deferred Payment Notice”) to AB PubCo that it wishes to defer the issuance date of the Company Earnout Shares to which it is entitled, to a date that is not more one (1) year from the date of the Milestone Achievement Notice (the “Deferred Payment Date”);

(iii)

those Company Earnout Participants that elect a Deferred Payment Date in accordance with Section 1.16(d)(ii), may defer the issuance date of their Company Earnout Shares for three (3) additional one (1) year periods (i.e., in each case terminating on an anniversary of the initial Deferred Payment Date) by giving a new Deferred Payment Notice to AB PubCo not earlier than ninety (90) days and not later than thirty (30) Business Days prior to the expiration of the previous Deferred Payment Date (for greater certainty, Company Earnout Participants shall not be permitted to give any such Deferred Payment Notice after the day which is thirty (30) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Deferred Payment Date, and a Deferred Payment Notice, once given, may not be changed or revoked);

(iv)

if no Deferred Payment Notice is provided by a Company Earnout Participant to AB PubCo, then AB PubCo will issue and deliver the Company Earnout Shares to the Company Earnout Participants, with each Company Earnout Participant receiving its portion of the Company Earnout Shares as set forth on Schedule 1.16(a), within ten (10) Business Days following the date that is thirty (30) Business Days from the date of the Milestone Achievement Notice; and

(v)

with respect to those Company Earnout Participants that elect a Deferred Payment Date in accordance with Section 1.16(d)(ii) or (iii), AB PubCo will issue and deliver the Company Earnout Shares to such Company Earnout Participants, with each such Company Earnout Participant receiving its portion of the Company Earnout Shares as set forth on Schedule 1.16(a), on the applicable Deferred Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Deferred Payment Date will not be later than the date, if any, which the Company Earnout Participant’s employment with the Company ends.

- 12 -

(e)

With respect to the Designated Earnout Participants, if the Earnout Milestone is achieved during the Earnout Period, then AB PubCo will issue and deliver the Designated Earnout Shares to the Designated Earnout Participants (in accordance with an allocation to be specified by the SPAC to the Company in writing prior to the Closing) within twenty (20) Business Days following the date that the Earnout Milestone was achieved.

(f)

At all times during the Earnout Period, AB PubCo shall (i) keep available for issuance a sufficient number of the AB PubCo Common Shares to permit AB PubCo to satisfy in full the issuance of the Earnout Shares, and shall take all actions reasonably required (including by convening any shareholder meeting) to increase the authorized number of the AB PubCo Common Shares if at any time there are insufficient unissued AB PubCo Common Shares to permit such reservation, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause AB PubCo Common Shares to remain tradable on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the AB PubCo Common Shares are then traded.

(g)

If during the Earnout Period, a Company Sale is consummated which implies a value per share of the AB PubCo Common Shares that equals or exceeds Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) per share (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the Closing), as determined by the Post-Closing AB PubCo Board after including all of the Earnout Shares in such determination, then immediately prior to the consummation of such Company Sale, (i) the Earnout Shares, to the extent not yet earned, shall be deemed earned, and (ii) AB PubCo will issue and deliver the Earnout Shares to the Earnout Participants, with each Earnout Participant receiving its portion of the Earnout Shares as contemplated by Section 1.16(a) and Section 1.16(b), as applicable.

(h)

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company Earnout Shares, if any, shall be subject to the applicable lock-up restrictions set forth in Company Lock-up and Support Agreement, and the Designated Earnout Shares, if any, shall be subject to the applicable lock-up restrictions set forth in the A&R Sponsor Agreement.

(i)

Any issuance of the Company Earnout Shares, including without limitation in connection with a Company Sale pursuant to Section 1.16(g), shall be treated as compensation paid to the recipients thereof, and is not intended to be, and shall not be treated as, Amalgamation Consideration, all for applicable Tax purposes.

1.17

Withholding.

AB PubCo and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Amalgamation Consideration and any other amounts issuable or payable hereunder (whether in cash or kind)(including, for greater certainty, Company Earnout Shares and Designated Earnout Shares) such amounts as the applicable party may be required to deduct and withhold therefrom under any applicable Law in respect of Taxes. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority when required by applicable Law, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement has having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. AB PubCo and the Exchange Agent, as applicable, may sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the Amalgamation Consideration or other amount otherwise payable to such holder or former holder in the form of AB PubCo Shares as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to enable the withholding party to comply with such deduction or withholding requirements, and none of the SPAC, AB PubCo or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be liable to any Person for any deficiency in respect of any proceeds received, and AB PubCo or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall notify the holder thereof and remit to the holder thereof any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale.

- 13 -

Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Agreement, a Person’s entitlement to any Company Earnout Shares and Designated Earnout Shares is subject to the condition that if at any time the board of directors of AB PubCo determines, in its sole and unfettered discretion, that the withholding of taxes is necessary or desirable in respect of such entitlement or the corresponding issuance of shares, such entitlement or issuance is not effective unless such withholding has been effected to the satisfaction of the board. In such circumstances, AB PubCo may require that the Person (a) pay the applicable amount of taxes (as determined by the board of directors of AB PubCo in its sole and unfettered discretion), by certified cheque, wire transfer or bank draft, or (b) otherwise ensure, in a manner acceptable to the board of directors of AB PubCo in its sole and unfettered discretion, that such amount of taxes will be timely and securely funded.

1.18

- 50 -

with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such amended terms.

For and in consideration of the SPAC entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company nor any of its 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 SPAC or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its 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”). The Company 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 SPAC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with the SPAC or its Affiliates); provided, however, that the foregoing waiver will not limit or prohibit the Company or its Affiliates from pursuing a claim against the SPAC, Amalco Sub or any other Person for legal relief against monies or other assets of the SPAC or Amalco Sub held outside of the Trust Account of for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Binding Effect; Assignment.

This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties 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 SPAC and the Company, 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.

11.3

Third Parties.

Except for the rights of (a) the D&O Indemnified Persons set forth in Section 6.18, 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 or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Sponsor shall be an express third-party beneficiary of Section 6.4, Section 6.15, Section 6.16, Section 9.2, Section 11.1, Section 11.2, this Section 11.3, Section 11.6, Section 11.8, Section 11.9.

11.4

Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal Laws applicable therein, without regard to any choice of law or conflict of laws principles thereof that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the Province of Alberta. Each Party irrevocably attorns and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Alberta courts situated in the City of Calgary and waives objection to the venue of any proceeding in such court or that such court provides an inconvenient forum.

11.5

Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH PARTY 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. 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 HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.5.

- 69 -

11.6

Remedies; Specific Performance.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein 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 failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power, or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. 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 would be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties would not have adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would 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 an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, 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. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity.

11.7

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.

11.8

Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by the SPAC and the Company.

11.9

Waiver.

The SPAC on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, the Company on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, may each in its sole discretion (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other non-Affiliated Party, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties by such other non-Affiliated Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) 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 shall also require the prior written consent of the Sponsor.
