ARTICLE I
MERGER

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

1.2 Effective Time. Purchaser and Merger Sub shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing the Articles of Merger and any other documents required to be filed pursuant to the BVI Act and such other documents as required by the BVI Act with the Registry of Companies of the British Virgin Islands. The Merger shall become effective at the time of the Closing Date when the Plan of Merger is registered by the Registry of Companies of the British Virgin Islands (the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Articles of Merger, and the applicable provisions of the BVI Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and Purchaser shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Company (including all rights and obligations with respect to the Trust Account), which shall include the assumption by the Surviving Company of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and Purchaser set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Effective Time, and the Surviving Company shall continue its existence as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Pubco.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(h) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.6, none of the Surviving Company, Pubco or any other Party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

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

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

1.9 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Purchaser Certificates. In the event any certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Pubco shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, as the case may be, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such securities, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.6; provided, however, that the Surviving Company may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Company with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

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

1.11 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Purchaser and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of Purchaser and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective entities to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

2.2 Exchange Consideration.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in full payment for the Purchased Shares, Pubco shall issue and deliver to the Seller, a combination of Pubco Ordinary Shares and Pubco Warrants (the “Exchange Consideration”) equal to up to Four Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($450,000,000) consisting of (i) an aggregate number of Pubco Ordinary Shares (the “Base Exchange Shares”) with an aggregate value equal to, without duplication, (A) base consideration of Three Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000), (B) plus (or minus if negative) the Net Working Capital, and minus the Closing Debt, with each Pubco Ordinary Share valued at the Per Share Price, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.3, (ii) Six Million Pubco Warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”), and (iii) if earned in accordance with Section 2.5, up to Fifteen Million Pubco Ordinary Shares, with each Pubco Ordinary Share valued at the Per Share Price (the “Earnout Shares”, and together with the Base Exchange Share, the “Exchange Shares”).

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) at the Closing, Seller shall provide written instructions to Pubco and its transfer agent to issue and deliver the Base Exchange Shares (less the Escrow Shares) and the Exchange Warrants, otherwise issuable and deliverable to solely to Seller to the Designated Share Recipients in accordance with the percentage set forth opposite the name of each such Designated Share Recipient in Annex I and (ii) if a Revenue Target is met in accordance with Section 2.5, the Seller Representative shall provide written instructions to the Escrow agent to deliver the applicable number of Earnout Exchange Shares to the Designated Share Recipients in accordance with the percentage set forth opposite the name of each such Designated Share Recipients in Annex II.

Upon delivering the Estimated Closing Statement to the Purchaser, the Company will meet with the Purchaser to review and discuss the Estimated Closing Statement to make any appropriate adjustments to the Base Exchange Shares.

2.4 Escrow.

(a) Indemnity Escrow

(i) At or prior to the Closing, Pubco, Purchaser Representative, Seller, the Seller Representative and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or such other escrow agent mutually acceptable to Purchaser and the Company), as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), shall enter into an Escrow Agreement, effective as of the Effective Time, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and the Company (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which Pubco shall cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent ten percent (10%) of the Base Exchange Shares otherwise issuable to the Seller or the Designated Share Recipients at the Closing (such Base Exchange Shares, including any equity securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such shares or into which such shares are exchanged or converted, as long as they remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account, the “Indemnity Escrow Shares”) to be held along with any other dividends, distributions and other earnings thereon (the “Indemnity Escrow Property”), to be held by the Escrow Agent in a segregated escrow account (“Indemnity Escrow Account”) and disbursed therefrom in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, served as a source of security for the Seller’s indemnification obligations under ARTICLE IX;

(ii) Within three (3) Business Days after July 1, 2022 (the “Expiration Date”), the Purchaser Representative and Seller Representative shall give joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent directing the release the Indemnity Escrow Property to the Designated Share Recipients; and the Indemnity Escrow Property shall no longer be subject to any indemnification claim to the extent such claim is made after the Expiration Date, provided, however, with respect to any indemnification claims made in accordance with ARTICLE IX hereof on or prior to the Expiration Date that remain unresolved at the time and are still contested by an Indemnitee in good faith as of the end of the Expiration Date ( any such claim, a “Pending Claim”), an amount of the Indemnity Escrow Property with a value (with respect to the Indemnity Escrow Shares, calculated based on the Pubco Share Price as of the Expiration Date) equal to the aggregate amount of the Pending Claims set forth in the Claim Notice provided by the Purchaser Representative in accordance with Section 9.4(b) (as adjusted in accordance with Section 9.4(b)) shall remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account until such time as such Pending Claim shall have been finally resolved and paid pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE IX.

(iii) After the Expiration Date, to the extent that the value of the remaining Indemnity Escrow Property (with respect to the Indemnity Escrow Shares, calculated based on the Pubco Share Price) exceeds the aggregate amount of (a) resolved but unpaid claims in favor of an Indemnitee and (b) the Pending Claims set forth in the Claim Notice (as adjusted in accordance with Section 9.4(b)) submitted prior to the Expiration Date, an amount of Indemnity Escrow Property having a value (with respect to the Indemnity Escrow Shares, calculated based on the Pubco Share Price) equal to such excess shall be promptly (and no later than three (3) Business Days) disbursed by the Escrow Agent to the Designated Share Recipients (and Purchaser Representative and Seller Representatives shall promptly give joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent directing such release), with respect to each release of the Indemnity Escrow Property to the Designated Share Recipients. The Indemnity Escrow Property upon its release from Indemnity Escrow Account shall not be required to be distributed pro rata among all the Designated Share Recipients. Promptly after the final resolution of all Pending Claims and the payment of all indemnification obligations in connection therewith, the Escrow Agent shall disburse any Indemnity Escrow Property remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account to the Designated Share Recipients, with instruction given by the Seller Representative setting forth the allocation of such Indemnity Escrow Property among the Designated Share Recipients.

Each Designated Share Recipient Share shall receive its share of the Earnout Escrow Shares based on the proportion of the Earnout Shares allocated to such Designated Share Recipient in Annex II.

(b) If, during the Earnout Period, the Designated Share Recipients are entitled to receive either the First Tier Earnout Payment or the Second Tier Earnout Payment, then such Earnout Payment will be due within three (3) Business Days after the filing of Pubco’s Form 20-F or Form 10-K with the SEC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, and the Purchaser Representative on behalf of Pubco shall provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release to the Designated Share Recipients such Earnout Escrow Payment within three (3) Business Days thereafter. In the event the Designated Share Recipients are not entitled to receive any or all of the Earnout Payment, then the applicable Earnout Escrow Property will be forfeited by Seller within three (3) Business Days after the filing of Pubco’s Form Form 20-F or Form 10-K with the SEC for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, and the Purchaser Representative on behalf of Pubco will provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent within three (3) Business Days thereafter to release and surrender such forfeited Earnout Escrow Property to Pubco. Pubco will cancel any such Earnout Escrow Property distributed to Pubco.

Each of Pubco and its Subsidiaries, including the Company and the Target Companies will be permitted, following the Closing (including during the Earnout Period), to make changes at its sole discretion to its operations, organization, personnel, accounting practices and other aspects of its business, including actions that may have an impact on the First Tier Revenue Target and Second Tier Revenue Target, the share price of Pubco Ordinary Shares and the ability of Seller to earn the Earnout Payment, and neither Seller nor any Designated Share Recipient will have any right to claim the loss of all or any portion of any Earnout Payment or other damages as a result of such decisions. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Pubco shall not, and shall cause it Subsidiaries not to, take any action, or omit to take any action that is primarily in bad faith and designed for, or has the primary purpose of, avoiding, reducing or preventing the achievement or attainment of the First Revenue Target and Second Revenue Target.

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

(b) The Parties shall take all action necessary, including causing the executive officers of Pubco to resign, so that the individuals serving as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, respectively, of Pubco immediately after the Closing will be the same individuals (in the same office) as that of the Company immediately prior to the Closing (unless, at its sole discretion, the Company desires to appoint another qualified person to either such role, in which case, such other person identified by the Company shall serve in such role).

(a) The Parties agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses existing in favor of the current or former directors and officers of each Target Company, Pubco, Merger Sub and Purchaser and each Person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise at the request of the applicable Party (the “D&O Indemnified Persons”) as provided in Purchaser’s Organizational Documents or under any indemnification, employment or other similar agreements between any D&O Indemnified Person and Purchaser, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms to the extent permitted by applicable Law. For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Pubco shall cause the Organizational Documents of each Target Company, Pubco, Merger Sub and Purchaser to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation and indemnification of and advancement of expenses to D&O Indemnified Persons than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Organizational Documents of the applicable Party to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The provisions of this Section 8.15 shall survive the Closing and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Persons and their respective heirs and representatives.

(b) For the benefit of Purchaser’s directors and officers, Purchaser shall be permitted prior to the Effective Time to obtain and fully pay the premium for a “tail” insurance policy (at an aggregate cost that is borne by Purchaser of no higher than 200% of the annual premium of Purchaser’s directors’ and officers’ liabilities insurance policy as of the date of this Agreement) that provides coverage for up to a six-year period from and after the Effective Time for events occurring prior to the Effective time (the “D&O Tail Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than Purchaser’s existing policy or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage. If obtained, Pubco and Purchaser shall, for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, maintain the D&O Tail Insurance in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder, and Pubco and Purchaser shall timely pay or cause to be paid all premiums with respect to the D&O Tail Insurance.

8.16 Trust Account Proceeds. The Parties agree that after the Closing, the funds in the Trust Account, after taking into account payments for the Redemption, and any proceeds received by Pubco or Purchaser from any PIPE Investment shall first be used to pay (i) Purchaser’s accrued Expenses, including Purchaser’s deferred Expenses of the IPO and (ii) any loans owed by Purchaser to Sponsor for Expenses (including deferred Expenses), other administrative costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Purchaser or Extension Expenses. Such amounts, as well as any Expenses that are required or permitted to be paid by delivery of Pubco Securities, will be paid at the Closing. Any remaining cash will be transferred to a Target Company or Pubco and used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

8.17 PIPE Investment. Without limiting anything to the contrary contained herein, during the Interim Period, Purchaser may, but shall not be required to (and if requested by Purchaser, Pubco will), enter into and consummate subscription agreements with investors relating to a private equity investment in Purchaser or Pubco to purchase ordinary shares or preferred shares of Purchaser or Pubco (“PIPE Shares”) in connection with a private placement, and/or enter into backstop or redemption waiver arrangements with potential investors, or enter into convertible debt or debt financings, in each case on terms mutually agreeable to the Company, Purchaser and Pubco, acting reasonably (a “PIPE Investment”), and, if Purchaser elects to seek a PIPE Investment, Pubco, Purchaser and the Company shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, cooperate with each other and their respective Representatives in connection with such PIPE Investment and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such PIPE Investment to occur (including having the Company’s senior management participate in any investor meetings and roadshows as reasonably requested by Purchaser).

8.18 Closing Cash. The Parties agree that after taking into consideration the Redemption, the Trust Account Proceeds and the gross proceeds of a PIPE Investment, the amount of cash available to Purchaser should amount to Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) or more at Closing.

9.3 Limitations and General Indemnification Provisions.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article IX, the Indemnitees will not be entitled to receive any indemnification payments under clause (a) of Section 9.2 unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Indemnitees for which they are otherwise entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE IX exceeds Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($500,000) (the “Basket”), in which case the Indemnitors shall be obligated to the Indemnitees for the amount of all Losses of the Indemnitees from the first dollar of Losses of the Indemnitees required to reach the Basket, subject to the other limitations herein; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to (i) indemnification claims for breaches of any Company and Seller Fundamental Representations or (ii) Fraud Claims.

(c) Solely for purposes of determining the amount of Losses under this ARTICLE IX (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach giving rise to the indemnification claim), all of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement (including the disclosure schedules hereto) or any Ancillary Document that are qualified by materiality, Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import or effect will be deemed to have been made without any such qualification.

(d) No investigation or knowledge by an Indemnitee, Purchaser or their respective Representatives of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of an Indemnitor shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company, the Seller or the Seller Representative or the recourse available to the Indemnitees or Purchaser under any provision of this Agreement, including this ARTICLE IX, with respect thereto.

(e) The amount of any Losses suffered or incurred by any Indemnitee shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds paid to the Indemnitee or any Affiliate thereof as a reimbursement with respect to such Losses (and no right of subrogation shall accrue to any insurer hereunder, except to the extent that such waiver of subrogation would prejudice any applicable insurance coverage), net of the costs of collection and the increases in insurance premiums resulting from such Loss or insurance payment.

9.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The Purchaser Representative shall have the sole right to act on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnitees and Purchaser Indemnitors with respect to any indemnification claims made pursuant to this ARTICLE IX, including bringing and settling any indemnification claims hereunder and receiving any notices on behalf of the Indemnitees. The Seller Representative shall have the sole right to act on behalf of the Seller Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitors with respect to any indemnification claims made pursuant to this ARTICLE IX, including bringing, defending and settling any indemnification claims hereunder and receiving any notices on behalf of the Seller Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitors.

(b) In order to make a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Purchaser Representative on behalf of a Purchaser Indemnitee or the Seller Representative on behalf of a Seller Indemnitee, as applicable (the Purchaser Representative or the Seller Representative on behalf of the applicable Indemnitee, the “Indemnitee Representative”), must provide written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of such claim to the Seller Representative on behalf of the Seller Indemnitors (and, prior to the Expiration Date, to the Escrow Agent) or the Purchaser Representative on behalf of the Purchaser Indemnitors, as applicable (the Purchaser Representative or the Seller Representative on behalf of the applicable Indemnitor, the “Indemnitor Representative”), which Claim Notice shall include (i) a reasonable description of the facts and circumstances which relate to the subject matter of such indemnification claim to the extent then known and (ii) the amount of Losses suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with the claim to the extent known or reasonably estimable (provided, that the Purchaser Representative may thereafter, but prior to the Expiration Date, in good faith adjust the amount of Losses with respect to the claim by providing a revised Claim Notice to the Seller Representative and the Escrow Agent); provided, that the copy of any Claim Notice provided to the Escrow Agent shall be redacted for any confidential or proprietary information of the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee described in clause (i).

(c) In the case of any claim for indemnification under this Article IX arising from a claim of a third party (including any Governmental Authority) (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnitee Representative must, in addition to complying with Section 9.4(b) give a Claim Notice with respect to such Third Party Claim to the Indemnitor Representative promptly (but in no event later than thirty (30) days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, that the failure to timely give such notice will not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations except to the extent that the defense of such Third Party Claim is materially and irrevocably prejudiced by the failure to give such notice. The Indemnitor Representative will have the right to defend and to direct the defense against any such Third Party Claim in its name and at its expense, and with counsel selected by the Indemnitor Representative, unless (i) the Indemnitor Representative fails to acknowledge fully to the Indemnitee Representative the obligations of the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee within twenty (20) days after receiving notice of such Third Party Claim or contests, in whole or in part, its indemnification obligations therefor or (ii) at any time while such Third Party Claim is pending, (A) there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor Representative on behalf of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee Representative on behalf of the Indemnitee in the conduct of such defense, (B) the applicable third party alleges a Fraud Claim, (C) such claim is criminal in nature, could reasonably be expected to lead to criminal proceedings, or seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee or (D) the amount of the Third Party Claim exceeds or is reasonably expected to exceed the value of the remaining Indemnity Escrow Property in the Indemnity Escrow Account (after deducting any amounts for pending but unresolved indemnification claims and resolved but unpaid indemnification claims). If the Indemnitor Representative on behalf of the Indemnitor elects, and is entitled, to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, it will within twenty (20) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) notify the Indemnitee Representative of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee Representative and the Indemnitee will, at the request and expense of the Indemnitor Representative, cooperate in the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnitor Representative on behalf of the Indemnitor elects not to, or at any time is not entitled under this Section 9.4 to, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to notify the Indemnitee Representative of its election as herein provided or refuses to acknowledge or contests its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement, the Indemnitee Representative on behalf of the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnitor will have no indemnification obligations with respect to any such Third Party Claim which is settled by the Indemnitee or the Indemnitee Representative without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor Representative on behalf of the Indemnitor (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee will not be required to refrain from paying any Third Party Claim which has matured by a final, non-appealable Order, nor will it be required to refrain from paying any Third Party Claim where the delay in paying such claim would result in the foreclosure of a Lien upon any of the property or assets then held by the Indemnitee or where any delay in payment would cause the Indemnitee material economic loss. The Indemnitor Representative’s right on behalf of the Indemnitor to direct the defense will include the right to compromise or enter into an agreement settling any Third Party Claim; provided, that no such compromise or settlement will obligate the Indemnitee to agree to any settlement that that requires the taking or restriction of any action (including the payment of money and competition restrictions) by the Indemnitee other than the execution of a release for such Third Party Claim and/or agreeing to be subject to customary confidentiality obligations in connection therewith, except with the prior written consent of the Indemnitee Representative on behalf of the Indemnitee (such consent to be withheld, conditioned or delayed only for a good faith reason). Notwithstanding the Indemnitor Representative’s right on behalf of the Indemnitor to compromise or settle in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Indemnitor Representative on behalf of the Indemnitor may not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim over the objection of the Indemnitee Representative on behalf of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that consent by the Indemnitee Representative on behalf of the Indemnitee to settlement or compromise will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Indemnitee Representative on behalf of the Indemnitee will have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnitor Representative’s right on behalf of the Indemnitor to direct the defense.

(e) With respect to any direct indemnification claim that is not a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor Representative on behalf of the Indemnitor will have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice to respond thereto. If the Indemnitor Representative on behalf of the Indemnitor does not respond within such thirty (30) days, the Indemnitor Representative on behalf of the Indemnitor will be deemed to have accepted responsibility for the Losses set forth in such Claim Notice subject to the limitations on indemnification set forth in this ARTICLE IX and will have no further right to contest the validity of such Claim Notice. If the Indemnitor Representative responds within such thirty (30) days and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnitee Representative on behalf of the Indemnitee will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available under this Agreement, any Ancillary Documents or applicable Law.

9.5 Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification claims against the Indemnitors shall first be applied against the Indemnity Escrow Shares, then against any other Indemnity Escrow Property before any Indemnitor shall be required to make any out-of-pocket payment for indemnification. Any indemnification obligation of an Indemnitor under this ARTICLE IX will be paid within five (5) Business Days after the determination of such obligation in accordance with Section 9.4 (and the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative will provide or cause to be provided to the Escrow Agent any written instructions or other information or documents required by the Escrow Agent to do so). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any indemnification payments will be made to Pubco or its successors. With respect to any indemnification payment, the value of each Indemnity Escrow Share or any other Pubco Ordinary Shares for purposes of determining the indemnification payment shall be the Pubco Share Price on the date that the indemnification claim is finally determined in accordance with this ARTICLE IX. To the extent that Pubco Ordinary Shares are used for the payment of indemnification obligations, such shares shall be valued based on the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares into which such shares may then be converted. Any Indemnity Escrow Property or any other Pubco Ordinary Shares received by Pubco as an indemnification payment shall be promptly cancelled by Pubco after its receipt thereof.

9.6 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, except with respect to Fraud Claims relating to the Company or claims seeking injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief (including pursuant to Section 13.6), or (iii) or claims under the Ancillary Documents, indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the Parties with respect to matters arising under this Agreement of any kind or nature, including for any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty, covenant, or other provision contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, including the negotiation and discussion thereof.

ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION AND EXPENSES

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

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

(b) by written notice by Purchaser or the Company if any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article X have not been satisfied or waived by February 15, 2021 (as extended pursuant to the next proviso, the “Outside Date”); provided, that if Purchaser, at its election, makes a three (3) month Extension pursuant to the Purchaser Charter (an “Automatic Extension”) or otherwise seeks and receives the approval of its shareholders for an Extension by amendment to the Purchaser Charter (a “Charter Extension”) and effects such Charter Extension, Purchaser shall have the right by providing written notice thereof to the Company to extend the Outside Date (i) if pursuant to an Automatic Extension, for an additional period of three (3) months or (ii) if pursuant to a Charter Extension, for an additional period equal to the shorter of (A) three additional months and (B) the period ending on the last date for Purchaser to consummate its initial Business Combination pursuant to such Charter Extension (but in no more than two Extensions (whether Automatic Extensions or Charter Extensions) by Purchaser in total under this proviso); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(b) shall not be available to a Party if the breach or violation by such Party or its Affiliates (or with respect to the Company, the Seller, Pubco or Merger Sub) of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement was the proximate cause of, or proximately resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date.

(c) by written notice by either Purchaser or the Company if a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Order or other action has become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(c) shall not be available to a Party if the failure by such Party or its Affiliates (or with respect to the Company, the Seller, Pubco or Merger Sub) to comply with any provision of this Agreement has been a substantial cause of, or substantially resulted in, such action by such Governmental Authority;

(d) by written notice by the Company to Purchaser, if (i) there has been a breach by Purchaser of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Purchaser shall have become untrue or materially inaccurate, in any case, which would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.2(b) to be satisfied (treating the Closing Date for such purposes as the date of this Agreement or, if later, the date of such breach (or if the breach is curable, the date by which such breach is required to be cured in the succeeding clause (ii)), and (ii) the breach or inaccuracy is incapable of being cured or is not cured within the earlier of (A) twenty (20) days after written notice of such breach or inaccuracy is provided to Purchaser by the Company or (B) the Outside Date; provided, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(d) if at such time the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub or the Seller is in material uncured breach of this Agreement which would result in a failure of any condition set forth in Section 10.3(a) or Section 10.3(b) from being satisfied;

(e) by written notice by Purchaser to the Company, if (i) there has been a breach by the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub or the Seller of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of such Parties shall have become untrue or inaccurate, in any case, which would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 10.3(a) or Section 10.3(b) to be satisfied (treating the Closing Date for such purposes as the date of this Agreement or, if later, the date of such breach(or if the breach is curable, the date by which such breach is required to be cured in the succeeding clause (ii)), and (ii) the breach or inaccuracy is incapable of being cured or is not cured within the earlier of (A) twenty (20) days after written notice of such breach or inaccuracy is provided to the Company by Purchaser or (B) the Outside Date; provided, that Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(e) if at such time Purchaser is in material uncured breach of this Agreement ; which would result in a failure of any condition set forth in Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.2(b) from being satisfied;

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

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

11.2 Effect of Termination. This Agreement may only be terminated in the circumstances described in Section 11.1 and pursuant to a written notice delivered by the applicable Party to the other applicable Parties, which sets forth the basis for such termination, including the provision of Section 11.1 under which such termination is made. In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no Liability on the part of any Party or any of their respective Representatives, and all rights and obligations of each Party shall cease, except: (i) Sections 8.12, 8.13, 11.3, 11.4, 12.1, ARTICLE XIII and this Section 11.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from Liability for any willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement or any Fraud Claim against such Party, in either case, prior to termination of this Agreement (in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, subject to Section 12.1). Without limiting the foregoing, and except as provided in Sections 11.3 and this Section 11.2 (but subject to Section 12.1, and subject to the right to seek injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief in accordance with Section 13.6), the Parties’ sole right prior to the Closing with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement by another Party or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be the right, if applicable, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1.

11.3 Fees and Expenses. Subject to Sections 11.4 and 12.1, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses. As used in this Agreement, “Expenses” shall include all out-of-pocket expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisors, financing sources, experts and consultants to a Party hereto or any of its Affiliates) incurred by a Party or on its behalf in connection with or related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document related hereto and all other matters related to the consummation of this Agreement. With respect to Purchaser, Expenses shall include any and all deferred expenses (including fees or commissions payable to the underwriters and any legal fees) of the IPO upon consummation of a Business Combination and any Extension Expenses.

11.4 Termination Fee. Notwithstanding Section 11.3 above, in the event that there is a valid and effective termination of this Agreement by Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.1(e); then the Company shall pay to Purchaser a termination fee equal to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars ($2,500,000), plus the Expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents or the Transactions, including any related SEC filings, the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement, the Redemption and any PIPE Investment (such aggregate amount, the “Termination Fee”); provided the aggregate amount of such Termination Fee and Expenses shall not exceed Three Million U.S. Dollars ($3,000,000). The Termination Fee shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Purchaser following such termination of this Agreement and within five (5) Business Days after Purchaser delivers to the Company the amount of such Expenses, along with reasonable documentation in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that, with respect to any termination of this Agreement in circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable, the payment of the Termination Fee shall, in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages, constitute liquidated damages with respect to any claim for damages or any other claim which Purchaser would otherwise be entitled to assert against the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective assets, or against any of their respective directors, officers, employees or shareholders with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy available to Purchaser, provided, that the foregoing shall not limit (x) the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub or the Seller from Liability for any Fraud Claim relating to events occurring prior to termination of this Agreement or (y) the rights of Purchaser to seek specific performance or other injunctive relief in lieu of terminating this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII
WAIVERS AND RELEASES

The Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Seller Representative and the Seller hereby represents and warrants that it has read the IPO Prospectus and understands that Purchaser has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO and the overallotment shares acquired by Purchaser’s underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Purchaser’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by Purchaser’s underwriters) (the “Public Shareholders”) and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, Purchaser may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their shares of Purchaser Ordinary Shares (or Pubco Ordinary Shares upon the Merger) in connection with the consummation of its initial business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with an amendment to Purchaser’s Organizational documents to extend Purchaser’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Shareholders if the Purchaser fails to consummate a Business Combination within 15 months after the closing of the IPO (provided such date may be extended by an additional six (6) months), subject to further extension by amendment to Purchaser’s Organizational Documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any franchise or income taxes, and (d) to Purchaser after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of Purchaser entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, Seller and the Seller Representative hereby agree on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Seller Representative and the Seller nor any of their respective Affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between Purchaser or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Seller Representative or the Seller or any of their respective Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Each of the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Seller Representative and the Seller on behalf of itself and its Affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that any such Party or any of its Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Purchaser or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any Public Shareholder Distributions) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with Purchaser or its Affiliates). The Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Seller Representative and the Seller each agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Purchaser and its Affiliates to induce Purchaser to enter in this Agreement, and each of the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Seller Representative and the Seller further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Seller Representative or the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Purchaser or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Purchaser or its Representatives, each of the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Seller Representative and the Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that its and its Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event that the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Seller Representative or the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates commences Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Purchaser or its Representatives which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or the Public Stockholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, Purchaser and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Seller Representative and the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such Action, in the event Purchaser or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such Action. This Section 12.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

12.2 Release and Covenant Not to ▇▇▇.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that owns any share or other equity interest in or of the Seller (the “Releasing Persons”), hereby releases and discharges the Target Companies from and against any and all Actions, obligations, agreements, debts and Liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, both at law and in equity, which such Releasing Person now has, has ever had or may hereafter have against the Target Companies arising on or prior to the Closing Date or on account of or arising out of any matter occurring on or prior to the Closing Date; including any rights to indemnification or reimbursement from a Target Company, whether pursuant to its Organizational Documents, Contract or otherwise, and whether or not relating to claims pending on, or asserted after, the Closing Date. From and after the Closing, each Releasing Person hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Action, or commencing or causing to be commenced, any Action of any kind against the Target Companies or their respective Affiliates, based upon any matter purported to be released hereby. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the releases and restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to any claims a Releasing Person may have against any party pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or any of the other matters set forth on Schedule 12.2.

13.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all Actions (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws (both substantive and procedural) of the State of New York. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in New York, New York (or in any court in which appeal from such courts may be taken) (the “Specified Courts”). Each Party hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive personal and subject matter jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party hereto and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject to the personal or subject matter jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

Nothing in this Section 13.4 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

13.5 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE.

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

13.7 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.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement after the Closing by Pubco or Purchaser shall also require the prior written consent of the Purchaser Representative and the Seller Representative.

13.10 Entire Agreement.
