Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Reincorporation Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of the Parent shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of the Reincorporation Surviving Corporation, which shall include the assumption by the Reincorporation Surviving Corporation of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of the Parent set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Reincorporation Effective Time, and all securities of the Reincorporation Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding as a result of the conversion under Sections 2.6(a) through (d) hereof shall be listed on the public trading market on which the Parent Units were trading prior to the Reincorporation Merger.

2.4 Memorandum and Articles of Association. At the Reincorporation Effective Time, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Parent, as in effect immediately prior to the Reincorporation Effective Time, shall cease and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of Purchaser (the “Charter Documents”), as in effect immediately prior to the Reincorporation Effective Time, shall be the Charter Documents of the Reincorporation Surviving Corporation.

2.5 Directors and Officers of the Reincorporation Surviving Corporation. Immediately after the Reincorporation Effective Time and prior to the Closing, the board of directors of the Reincorporation Surviving Corporation shall be the board of directors of the Parent immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger.

2.6 Effect on Issued Securities of Parent.

(a) Conversion of Parent Ordinary Shares. At the Reincorporation Effective Time, every issued and outstanding Parent Ordinary Share, other than those described in Section 2.6(f) below and other than Parent Ordinary Shares (the “Converting Shares”) that the holders thereof validly have elected to convert into a pro rata portion of the Trust Fund in connection with the Closing as provided for in Parent’s Organizational Documents and the Prospectus (as defined in Section 13.14 below) (each, a “Converting Shareholder”), shall be converted automatically into one share of Purchaser Common Stock. At the Reincorporation Effective Time, all Parent Ordinary Shares shall cease to be issued and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. The holders of issued Parent Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Reincorporation Effective Time, as evidenced by the register of members of the Parent (the “Register of Members”), shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Parent Ordinary Shares, except as provided herein or by Law. From and after the Reincorporation Effective Time, each certificate or book entry position that evidenced Parent Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger shall entitle the holder only to the applicable number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock into which such certificate or book entry position is convertible according to this Section 2.6(a); provided, however, that each certificate or book entry position representing a Converting Share shall entitle the Converting Shareholder to receive only a pro rata portion of the Trust Fund as provided for in Parent’s Organizational Documents and the Prospectus. Upon surrender of each certificate (if any) previously evidencing Parent Ordinary Shares, such certificate shall be exchanged for a certificate representing the same number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock.

(b) Parent Units. At the Reincorporation Effective Time, every issued and outstanding Parent Unit shall be separated automatically into its constituent securities, which shall be converted automatically into securities of Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.6(a), (c) or (d), as applicable. At the Reincorporation Effective Time, all Parent Units shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. The holders of issued Parent Units immediately prior to the Reincorporation Effective Time, as evidenced by the Register of Members, shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Parent Units, except as provided herein or by Law. Upon surrender of each certificate (if any) previously evidencing Parent Units, such certificate shall be exchanged for certificates representing the applicable number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock and Purchaser Warrants.

(c) Parent Rights. At the Reincorporation Effective Time, every issued and outstanding Parent Right shall be converted automatically into one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Purchaser Common Stock, in accordance with the terms thereof. At the Reincorporation Effective Time, all Parent Rights shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. The holders of issued Parent Rights immediately prior to the Reincorporation Effective Time, as evidenced by the register of rights holders, shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Parent Rights, except as provided herein or by Law. From and after the Reincorporation Effective Time, each certificate or book entry position that evidenced Parent Rights immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger shall entitle the holder only to the applicable number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock into which such certificate or book entry position is convertible according to this Section 2.6(a). Upon surrender of each certificate (if any) previously evidencing Parent Rights, such certificate shall be exchanged for a certificate representing the applicable number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock.

(d) Parent Warrants. At the Reincorporation Effective Time, every issued and outstanding Parent Warrant shall remain outstanding but shall be automatically adjusted to become one Purchaser Warrant, in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Purchaser Warrant will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), dated as of February 13, 2020, by and between Parent and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall enter into an amendment to the Warrant Agreement solely to evidence the succession of the Purchaser to the Parent and the assumption by the Purchaser of the covenants of Parent contained in the Warrant Agreement and the Parent Warrants. Upon surrender of each certificate (if any) previously evidencing Parent Warrants, such certificate shall be exchanged for a certificate representing the applicable number of Purchaser Warrants.

(e) Parent Unit Purchase Option. At the Reincorporation Effective Time, each Parent UPO shall remain outstanding but shall be automatically adjusted to become a Purchaser UPO, in accordance with the terms thereof. Each of the Purchaser UPOs shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable agreements governing the Parent UPOs that are outstanding immediately prior to the Reincorporation Effective Time. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall enter into an amendment to the agreement governing each Purchaser UPO solely to evidence the succession of the Purchaser to the Parent and the assumption by the Purchaser of the covenants of Parent contained in such agreement. At or prior to the Reincorporation Effective Time, the Purchaser shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Purchaser UPOs remain outstanding, a sufficient number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of such Purchaser UPOs and the exercise of the Purchaser Warrants included in such Purchaser UPOs.

(f) Cancellation of Parent Ordinary Shares Owned by Parent. At the Reincorporation Effective Time, if there are any Parent Ordinary Shares that are owned by the Parent as treasury shares or any Parent Ordinary Shares owned by any Subsidiary of the Parent immediately prior to the Reincorporation Effective Time, 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 2.6, none of the Reincorporation Surviving Corporation, Parent or any 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.

(i) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the Reincorporation Merger or the conversion of the Parent Rights pursuant to Section 2.6(c) above, and each holder of Parent Securities who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock at any time of Parent Ordinary Shares are distributed to any such Person pursuant to this Agreement (after aggregating all fractional shares that otherwise would be received by such holder in connection with such distribution) shall receive from Purchaser, in lieu of such fractional share, one (1) share of Purchaser Common Stock.

2.7 Surrender of Securities. All securities issued in exchange for Parent 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 Parent Securities shall also apply to the Purchaser Securities so issued in exchange.

2.8 Lost Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Purchaser shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates or securities, as the case may be, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such securities, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.7; provided, however, that the Reincorporation Surviving Corporation 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 Reincorporation Surviving Corporation with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.9 Section 368 Reorganization. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Reincorporation Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties to this Agreement hereby (i) adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury Regulations, (ii) agree to file and retain such information as shall be required under Section 1.368-3 of the United States Treasury Regulations, and (iii) agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with such characterization, unless required to do otherwise pursuant to a final determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code (or pursuant to any similar provision of applicable state, local or foreign Law). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that no party is making any representation or warranty as to the qualification of the Reincorporation Merger as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code or as to the effect, if any, that any transaction consummated on, after or prior to the Reincorporation Effective Time has or may have on any such reorganization status. 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 Reincorporation Merger is determined not to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.

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

2.11 Agreement of Fair Value. Parent, Purchaser and the Company respectively agree that the consideration payable for the Parent Ordinary Shares in the Reincorporation Merger represents the fair value of such Parent Ordinary Shares for the purposes of the Cayman Islands Companies Law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, except as expressly set forth herein, the parties acknowledge and agree that no party is making any representation or warranty as to the qualification of the Acquisition Merger as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code or as to the effect, if any, that any transaction consummated on, after or prior to the Effective Time has or may have on any such reorganization status. Each of the parties acknowledge and agree that each such party (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) except as results from a breach of a representation or warranty of the other party expressly set forth herein, is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Acquisition Merger is determined not to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.

3.13 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under Delaware Law, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by Stockholders who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of Delaware Law relevant to the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights (such shares, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, and such Stockholders shall have no right to receive, the Per Share Merger Consideration unless and until such Stockholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under Delaware Law. Any Stockholder who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Shares under Section 262 of Delaware Law shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Closing Consideration and, subject to and in accordance with Section 4.4(a) below, the applicable portion of the Earn-out Shares, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, if applicable, in the manner provided in Section 4.3, of the certificates representing the Company Common Stock that formerly evidenced such Dissenting Shares.

4.1 Conversion of Capital Stock.

(a) Closing Merger Consideration.

(i) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver a written statement to Parent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent (the “Closing Statement”), setting forth on a consolidated basis the Company’s determination of the Company Group’s Indebtedness for borrowed money immediately prior to the Closing (after the conversion of the Bridge Loan). The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, consistent with past practice (as modified by the terms of this Agreement) and shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by an executive officer of the Company to such effect.

(ii) The aggregate amount to be paid by the Purchaser at the Closing with respect to the Company Common Stock (other than the Bridge Loan Shares) and the Company Options shall equal (x) $100,000,000, plus (y) the aggregate exercise price of the Company Options outstanding as of the date hereof or issued between the date hereof and the Closing, minus (z) the amount of the Company’s Indebtedness for borrowed money immediately prior to the Closing (after the conversion of the Bridge Loan) as set forth in the Closing Statement (the “Closing Merger Consideration”), payable in shares of Purchaser Common Stock in accordance with Section 4.1(b) below.

(b) Conversion of Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Acquisition Merger and without any action on the part of Purchaser, Merger Sub, the Company or the Stockholders, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 4.2(a) above and the Bridge Loan Shares), other than the Dissenting Shares, shall be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”):

(i) at the Closing, a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the Closing Exchange Ratio (the “Per Share Closing Consideration,” and the aggregate Per Share Closing Consideration, the “Closing Shares”); and

(ii) subject to and in accordance with Section 4.4(a) below, a portion of Earn-out Shares (as defined below); provided that the Bridge Lender shall not have the right to receive any Earn-out Shares with respect to the Bridge Loan Shares.

For the avoidance of doubt, each Stockholder will cease to have any rights with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock, except the right to receive the Per Share Closing Consideration and the applicable portion of the Earn-out Shares.

(c) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue of the Acquisition Merger and without further action on the part of the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation (and the shares of Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Corporation’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time). Each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub common stock will, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Treatment of Company Capital Stock Owned by the Company. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Capital Stock that are owned by the Company (as treasury shares or otherwise) or any of its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and extinguished without any conversion or consideration delivered in exchange thereof.

(e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1, none of Surviving Corporation or any 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.

(f) Surrender of Certificates. All shares of Purchaser Common Stock issued upon the surrender of shares of the Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities.

(g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates for any share of Company Common Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Purchaser shall cause to be issued in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates and for each such share, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Per Share Merger Consideration; provided, however, that Purchaser 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 Purchaser with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(h) Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding securities of the Company or the shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Company or Purchaser as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares, or similar transaction, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to permit Purchaser or the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(i) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the Acquisition Merger, and each Stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock at any time shares of Purchaser Common Stock are being distributed to any such Person pursuant to this Agreement (after aggregating all fractional shares that otherwise would be received by such holder in connection with such distribution) shall receive from Purchaser, in lieu of such fractional share, one (1) share of Purchaser Common Stock.

4.2 Company Derivative Securities.

(a) Conversion of Preferred Stock. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause each share of Company Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to be automatically converted into a number of shares of the Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Section B.4.(b)(ii) of Article IV of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 13, 2017. At the Effective Time, all of the shares of the Company Common Stock issued upon such automatic conversion shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Closing Consideration and the applicable portion of the Earn-out Shares, in accordance with Section 4.1(b) above and Section 4.4 below. All of the shares of Company Preferred Stock so converted into shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be issued and outstanding and shall cease to exist immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each holder of Company Preferred Stock shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Preferred Stock.

(b) Company Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be assumed by Purchaser and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock (such option, an “Exchanged Option”) equal to the product (rounded to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Closing Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to quotient of (i) the exercise price per share of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (ii) the Closing Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Exchanged Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided, further, that in the case of any Exchanged Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code and the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations thereunder, as applicable. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Exchanged Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any acceleration as to vesting that may have been triggered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and subject to the adjustments required by this Section 4.2(b) after giving effect to the Acquisition Merger). Purchaser shall assume the Company Plan (the “Assumed Plan”) such that the Exchanged Options will be issued under the Assumed Plan, provided that the Assumed Plan shall be amended such that no further awards may be granted under the Assumed Plan, and Purchaser shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Company Options. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Parties and their boards, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the assumption of the Company Plan and the treatment of the Company Options pursuant to this subsection, and to cause any disposition or acquisition of equity securities of Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) by each individual who is a director or officer of Purchaser or who will become a director or officer of Purchaser at the Effective Time to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. Purchaser shall file an appropriate registration statement or registration statements with respect to the shares of Purchaser Common Stock subject to such Exchanged Options (other than any Exchanged Options held by any former employee, director or consultant of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such awards remain outstanding.

4.3 Merger Consideration Exchange Procedures.

(a) Exchange Procedures. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Stockholders shall deliver the certificates evidencing their right to shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock or the instruments evidencing the Bridge Loans to the Company for cancellation, or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or instrument, will deliver to the Company an affidavit (and indemnity if required) in the manner provided in Section 4.1(g) above, together with a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (“Letter of Transmittal”), and upon the Closing, the Stockholders shall receive in exchange therefor their respective portions of the Closing Shares (less their respective portions of the Escrow Shares, except in the case of the Closing Shares issuable in respect of the Bridge Loan Shares) in book-entry form (unless certificates representing such shares of Purchaser Common Stock are otherwise requested by a Stockholder) in accordance with Section 4.2(b) above, and the certificates representing the Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock and the instruments representing the Bridge Loans shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered, outstanding certificates for Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock and instruments representing the Bridge Loans will be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Closing Shares (less the applicable portion of the Escrow Shares, except in the case of the Closing Shares issuable in respect of the Bridge Loan Shares), and subject to and in accordance with Section 4.4(a) below, the applicable portion of the Earn-out Shares, as prescribed by this Agreement.

Parent agrees that if the approval of the Extension Proposal shall not have been obtained at any such Extension Shareholders’ Meeting, then Parent shall continue until February 12, 2021 to take all such necessary actions and hold additional Extension Shareholders’ Meetings in order to obtain the approval of the Extension Proposal.

(v) Parent, acting through its board of directors, shall include in the Extension Proxy Statement the recommendation of its board of directors that Parent’s shareholders vote in favor of the Extension Proposal, and shall otherwise use reasonable best efforts to obtain approval thereof. Neither Parent’s board of directors nor any committee or agent or representative thereof shall withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to the Company), or propose to withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to the Company) Parent’s board of director’s recommendation that the Parent shareholders vote in favor of the adoption of the Extension Proposal.

(vii) The Company Group shall reimburse the Parent for the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to Parent incurred in connection with the preparation of the Extension Proxy Statement, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $20,000.

(b) Extension by Trust Payment. In the event the Closing has not occurred and the Extension Proposal has not been approved by the fifth Business Day prior to February 19, 2021, Parent shall take, and shall cause its Affiliates to take, all steps necessary in order to extend the period of time Parent is afforded under its Organizational Documents and the final prospectus relating to the IPO to consummate an initial business combination by an additional three months, or until May 19, 2021. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) not later than the fifth Business Day prior to February 19, 2021, provided the Closing has not occurred and the Extension Proposal has not been approved, Parent shall deliver an extension letter to the Trustee substantially similar to Exhibit D to the Trust Agreement, signed on behalf of Parent by an executive officer of Parent, and (b) not later than February 19, 2021, provided the Closing has not yet occurred and the Extension Proposal has not been approved, the Company and the Sponsor shall deliver an aggregate of $575,000 by wire transfer of immediately available funds (the “Extension Payment”) to the Trustee, for deposit in the Trust Account in accordance with the extension letter and the Trust Agreement.

Each party shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement (and other related materials) if and to the extent that such information is determined to have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. The Purchaser Parties shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and cause the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and shall cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to Parent’s shareholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Parent’s Organizational Documents.

(d) Parent, the Purchaser, and the Company shall each comply with all applicable provisions of and rules under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, all applicable provisions of Delaware Law and Cayman Islands Companies Law, as applicable, in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement, the solicitation of proxies and issuance of securities thereunder, and the calling and holding of the Parent Extraordinary General Meeting. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent, the Purchaser, and the Company shall each ensure that each of the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement do not, as of the date on which it is first distributed to Parent shareholders and the holders of the Company Capital Stock and Company Options, and as of the date of the Parent Extraordinary General Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that no Party shall be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information relating to another Party or any other information furnished by another Party for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement).

(e) Parent, acting through its board of directors, shall include in the Proxy Statement the recommendation of its board of directors that Parent’s shareholders vote in favor of the Parent Shareholder Approval Matters, and shall otherwise use reasonable best efforts to obtain approval of the matters referred to in Section 8.5(a).

The Company and its board of directors shall cause the Company Stockholder Meeting to take place in accordance with the foregoing and in compliance with Delaware Law and the Company’s Organizational Documents and use reasonable best efforts to secure the Requisite Company Vote at the Company Stockholder Meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election and option of the Company, the Company shall be permitted to obtain the Requisite Company Vote, without a need for calling a Company Stockholder Meeting, by obtaining the written consent of holders of shares of Company Capital Stock representing the Requisite Company Vote that is executed and delivered by such holders after Effectiveness and after the Proxy Statement is delivered to such holders; provided, that, in the event that the Company elects to obtain the Requisite Company Vote pursuant to such written consent, consents with respect to this Agreement, the Acquisition Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby will be solicited from all holders of shares of Company Capital Stock. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Stockholders to (i) to vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all of their Company Capital Stock in favor of, and adopt, this Agreement and the Acquisition Merger and to vote in opposition to any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate the Acquisition Merger and (ii) to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Acquisition Merger as shall reasonably be requested by the Company in connection with the Acquisition Merger.

Except as necessary to complete the Proxy Statement, Registration Statement and Extension Proxy Statement, the Company Group, on the one hand, and the Purchaser Parties, on the other hand, shall hold and shall cause their respective representatives to hold in strict confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, all documents and information concerning the other party furnished to it by such other party or its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (a) previously known by the party to which it was furnished, (b) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (c) later lawfully acquired from other sources, which source is not the agent of the other party, by the party to which it was furnished), and each party shall not use such information, except in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or release or disclose such information to any other person, except its representatives in connection with this Agreement. In the event that any party believes that it is required to disclose any such confidential information pursuant to applicable Laws, such party shall give timely written notice to the other parties so that such parties may have an opportunity to obtain a protective order or other appropriate relief. Each party shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations to hold confidential information concerning or supplied by the other parties if it exercises the same care as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar information, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable degree of care. The parties acknowledge that some previously confidential information will be required to be disclosed in the Proxy Statement.

For a period of six (6) years after the Reincorporation Effective Time, Purchaser shall cause the Organizational Documents of Purchaser and the Company Group 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 Purchaser Parties and the Company Group to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The provisions of this Section 8.8 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.

The premium for such tail insurance policy shall be paid for by the Surviving Corporation; provided that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies pursuant to this Section 8.8(b) an annual premium amount in excess of 200% of the amount per annum the Parent and the Company Group paid in their last full fiscal year, which amount is set forth in Schedule 8.8(b). Parent shall cause such D&O Tail Insurance to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause the other Purchaser Parties to honor all obligations thereunder.

The cost of such policy shall be borne by the Purchaser. Such policy shall be from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the current insurance carrier(s) of the Parent and the Company Group with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

(d) On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to all parties with the individuals set forth on Schedule 8.8(d), which indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective following the Closing.

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Indemnification of Purchaser.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article X and from and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser, each of its Affiliates and each of its and their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, stockholders, attorneys and agents and permitted assigns (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless against and in respect of any and all out-of-pocket loss, cost, payment, demand, penalty, forfeiture, expense, liability, judgment, deficiency or damage (including actual costs of investigation and attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses) (all of the foregoing collectively, “Losses”) incurred or sustained by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties as a result of or in connection with any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company Group contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall assert any claim, and shall not be entitled to indemnification, unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses indemnifiable hereunder exceeds an amount equal to $560,000 (the “Threshold”), in which event the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for the aggregate amount of all Losses in excess of the Threshold, and (ii) any liability incurred pursuant to the terms of this Article X shall be paid solely by the return for cancellation of the Escrow Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement to be entered into at the Closing between the Purchaser, the Company, the Stockholders’ Representative, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow Agreement”).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article X and from and after the Closing Date, the Stockholders (other than the Bridge Lender in its capacity as the holder of the Bridge Loan Shares), each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, stockholders, attorneys and agents and permitted assigns (the “Company Indemnified Parties” and the Company Indemnified Parties or the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, as applicable, the “Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred or sustained by the Company Indemnified Parties as a result of or in connection with any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Purchaser Parties contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Company Indemnified Party shall assert any claim, and shall not be entitled to indemnification, unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses indemnifiable hereunder exceeds the Threshold, in which event the Company Indemnified Party shall be indemnified for the aggregate amount of all Losses in excess of the Threshold, and (ii) any liability incurred pursuant to the terms of this Article X shall be paid solely by the issuance of shares of the Purchaser Common Stock. In no event shall the Purchaser Indemnifying Parties’ aggregate indemnification obligations under this Agreement exceed a number of newly issued shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the initial number of Escrow Shares (as appropriately adjusted to reflect any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares, or similar transaction, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock) (the “Reserve Shares”).

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

10.2 Procedure. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by an Indemnified Party for indemnification:

(a) An Indemnified Party shall give the Stockholders’ Representative, in the case of a claim by a Purchaser Indemnified Party, or the Purchaser, in the case of a claim by a Company Indemnified Party, prompt notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) of any third-party action with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1 (a “Third-Party Claim”), which shall describe in reasonable detail the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. The failure to give the Indemnification Notice shall not impair any of the rights or benefits of such Indemnified Party under Sections 11.1 and 11.2, except to the extent such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the Stockholders, in the case of a claim by a Purchaser Indemnified Party, or the Purchaser, in the case of a claim by a Company Indemnified Party (in such capacity, the “Indemnifying Party”) to defend such claim or increases the amount of such liability.

(b) In the case of any Third-Party Claims as to which indemnification is sought by an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the sole expense and liability of the Indemnifying Parties (provided that the Indemnifying Parties shall not be responsible for attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses, except for the reasonable fees and expenses of one firm acting as counsel to the Indemnified Parties and one firm acting as local counsel, if necessary), to exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Parties, within a reasonable time after the giving of an Indemnification Notice by such Indemnified Party (but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter), shall (i) notify such Indemnified Party in writing of the intention of the Indemnifying Parties to assume the defense thereof, and (ii) retain legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) If the Indemnifying Parties assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.2(b), then the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties in any manner reasonably requested in connection with the defense, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be kept fully informed by the Indemnifying Parties and their legal counsel with respect to the status of any legal proceedings, to the extent not inconsistent with the preservation of attorney-client or work product privilege. If the Indemnifying Parties so assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Parties have agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the named parties to any such Third-Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties in the conduct of the defense thereof, and in any such case the reasonable fees and expenses of one firm acting as such separate counsel and one firm acting as local counsel, if necessary, shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties.

(d) If the Indemnifying Parties elect to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.2(b), the Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand arising from such asserted liability unless the Indemnifying Parties withdraw from or fail to vigorously prosecute the defense of such asserted liability, or unless a judgment is entered against the Indemnified Party for such liability. If the Indemnifying Parties do not elect to defend, or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the Indemnifying Parties fail to adequately prosecute or withdraw such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, at the Indemnifying Parties’ expense (provided that the Indemnifying Parties shall not be responsible for attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses, except for the reasonable fees and expenses of one firm acting as counsel to the Indemnified Parties and one firm acting as local counsel, if necessary). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indemnifying Parties shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party (at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, provided that the Indemnifying Parties shall not be responsible for attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses, except for the reasonable fees and expenses of one firm acting as counsel to the Indemnified Parties and one firm acting as local counsel, if necessary) shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of (x) that part of any Third-Party Claim (i) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) to the extent such Third-Party Claim involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party or (y) the entire Third-Party Claim if such Third-Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the Indemnified Party in an amount which is greater than twice the amount as to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. In the event the Indemnified Party retains control of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(e) If an Indemnified Party undertakes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.1 and proposes to settle the same prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Parties prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to participate in the settlement, assume or reassume the defense thereof or prosecute such appeal, in each case at the Indemnifying Parties’ expense. The Indemnifying Parties shall not, without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Third-Party Claim (i) in which any relief other than the payment of money damages is or may be sought against such Indemnified Party, (ii) in which such Third-Party Claim could be reasonably expected to impose or create a monetary liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (such as an increase in the Indemnified Party’s income Tax), other than the monetary claim of the third party in such Third-Party Claim being paid pursuant to such settlement or judgment and other than a monetary claim for which the Indemnified Party is indemnified hereunder, or (iii) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant, person conducting such investigation or initiating such hearing, plaintiff or petitioner to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim and all other actions (known or unknown) arising or which might arise out of the same facts.

(f) Following the Closing, the disinterested independent directors of the Purchaser shall have the authority to institute and prosecute any claims for indemnification hereunder in good faith on behalf of the Purchaser to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

10.3 Escrow of Escrow Shares by Stockholders.

(a) Establishment of Escrow. The Company Group and the Stockholders’ Representative hereby authorize the Purchaser to deliver the Escrow Shares to the Escrow Agent to hold in escrow (the “Escrow Fund”) pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Shares shall be allocated among the Stockholders (other than the Bridge Lender in its capacity as the holder of the Bridge Loan Shares) in proportion to the number of Closing Shares actually issued to each such Stockholder in the Acquisition Merger.

(b) Escrow Shares; Payment of Dividends; Voting. Any dividends, interest payments, or other distributions made in respect of the Escrow Shares, other than dividends or distributions payable in cash, will be delivered promptly to the Escrow Agent to be held in escrow. The Stockholders shall be entitled to vote the Escrow Shares on any matters to come before the stockholders of the Purchaser.

(c) Distribution of Escrow Shares. At the times provided for in Section 10.3(d), the Escrow Shares shall be released and transferred by the Escrow Agent to the Stockholders’ Representative for distribution to the Stockholders (other than the Bridge Lender in its capacity as the holder of the Bridge Loan Shares). The Escrow Shares shall be distributed among the Stockholders (other than the Bridge Lender in its capacity as the holder of the Bridge Loan Shares) in proportion to the number of Closing Shares actually issued to each such Stockholder in the Acquisition Merger. The Purchaser will take such action as may be necessary to cause such securities to be issued in the names of the appropriate persons. Certificates representing Escrow Shares so issued that are subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws will bear a legend to that effect. No fractional shares shall be released and delivered from the Escrow Fund to the Stockholders’ Representative and all fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

(d) Assignability. No Escrow Shares or any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, sold, assigned or transferred, including by operation of law, by the Stockholders or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of the Stockholders, prior to the transfer and delivery to such Stockholders of the Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent as provided herein.

(e) Release from Escrow Fund. Within five (5) business days following expiration of the Survival Period (the “Release Date”), the Escrow Shares will be released from escrow to the Stockholders’ Representative less the number or amount of Escrow Shares (valued at the then market value per share) equal to the amount of any potential Losses set forth in any Indemnification Notice from the Purchaser with respect to any pending but unresolved claim for indemnification. Prior to the Release Date, the Stockholders’ Representative shall issue to the Escrow Agent a certificate executed by him (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) instructing the Escrow Agent to release such number of Escrow Shares determined in accordance with this Section 10.3(d). Any Escrow Shares retained in escrow as a result of the immediately preceding sentence shall be released and transferred to the Stockholders’ Representative promptly upon resolution of the related claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article X. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any indemnification payments will be made to Purchaser or its successors. Any Escrow Shares received by Purchaser as an indemnification payment shall be promptly cancelled by Purchaser after its receipt thereof.

10.4 Payment of Indemnification.

(a) In the event that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Article X, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be paid exclusively from the Escrow Shares in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, with such Escrow Shares valued at a price per share equal to the five-day trailing average of the mean of the high and low trading prices of Purchaser Common Stock as of the five trading days immediately preceding the satisfaction of such Losses.

(b) In the event that the Company Indemnified Parties are entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Article X, the Company Indemnified Parties shall be paid exclusively through the issuance of Reserve Shares. Once a Loss payable to the Company Indemnified Parties is agreed to by the Stockholder Representative and the Purchaser, or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article X, then the Parent shall promptly issue to the Company Indemnified Parties such number of Reserve Shares equal to the dollar value of the Loss, with such Reserve Shares valued at a price per share equal to the five-day trailing average of the mean of the high and low trading prices of Purchaser Common Stock as of the five trading days immediately preceding the satisfaction of such Losses. In the event the Reserve Shares are payable to the Stockholders, the Reserve Shares shall be distributed among the Stockholders in proportion to the number of Closing Shares actually issued to each of the Stockholders in the Acquisition Merger.

(c) In no event shall the Company Indemnifying Parties’ aggregate indemnification obligations under this Article X exceed the number of Escrow Shares or the Purchaser Indemnifying Parties aggregate indemnification obligations under this Article X exceed the number of Reserve Shares.

10.5 Insurance. Any indemnification payments hereunder shall take into account any insurance proceeds or other third-party reimbursement actually received. To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article X are covered by insurance of the Indemnified Party or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such insurance; however, the Indemnified Party will nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article X in respect of such Losses. The existence of a claim by an Indemnified Party for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any Loss will toll any disbursement of the Escrow Fund or any issuance of shares of Purchaser Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable, pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained in this Article X and the Escrow Agreement, if applicable. To the extent an Indemnified Party receives proceeds from insurance or other amounts in respect of such Loss, such proceeds shall reduce the amount of Losses subject to indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that no insurer or any other third party will be (a) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (b) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

10.6 Survival of Indemnification Rights. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits hereto and all certificates, documents, instruments and undertakings furnished pursuant to this Agreement) shall survive until twelve (12) months following the Closing (the “Survival Period”). After the expiration of the Survival Period, the Indemnifying Parties shall have no further liability for indemnification pursuant to this Article X other than with respect to the claims already made pursuant to this Article X.

10.7 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. The remedies provided in this Article X shall be deemed the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties, from and after the Closing Date, with respect to any and all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article X shall in any way impair, modify, or otherwise limit a Party’s right to bring any Fraud Claim, and any such Fraud Claim shall not be subject to the Threshold.

10.8 Adjustment to Consideration. Amounts paid for indemnification under this Article X will be deemed to be an adjustment to the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

ARTICLE XI

(f) The Arbitrator may, at his discretion and at the expense of the party who will bear the cost of the arbitration, employ experts to assist him in his determinations.

(g) The costs of the arbitration proceeding and any proceeding in court to confirm any arbitration award (including actual attorneys’ fees and costs) shall be borne by the unsuccessful party and shall be awarded as part of the Arbitrator’s decision, unless the Arbitrator shall otherwise allocate such costs in such decision. The determination of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties and not subject to appeal.

(h) Any judgment upon any award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties expressly consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts (Federal and state) in California to enforce any award of the Arbitrator or to render any provisional, temporary, or injunctive relief in connection with or in aid of the arbitration. The parties expressly consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the Arbitrator to arbitrate any and all matters to be submitted to arbitration hereunder. None of the parties hereto shall challenge any arbitration hereunder on the grounds that any party necessary to such arbitration (including the parties hereto) shall have been absent from such arbitration for any reason, including that such party shall have been the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency proceeding.

(i) The parties shall indemnify the Arbitrator and any experts employed by the Arbitrator and hold them harmless from and against any claim or demand arising out of any arbitration under this Agreement, unless resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the person indemnified.

(j) This arbitration section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII
TERMINATION

12.1 Termination.

(a) Either the Purchaser Parties or the Company may terminate this Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date if an Authority shall have issued an order, decree, judgment or ruling or taken any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which order, decree, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable.

(b) In the event that the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder has not occurred by July 1, 2021 (the “Outside Closing Date”) and no material breach of this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall have occurred or have been made (as provided in Section 12.1(c) or (d) hereof), the Purchaser Parties or the Company Group, as the case may be, shall have the right, at their or its sole option, to terminate this Agreement without liability to the other side. Such right may be exercised by the Purchaser Parties or the Company Group, as the case may be, giving written notice to the other at any time after the Outside Closing Date.

(c) The Purchaser Parties may terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the Company Group on or prior to the Closing Date, if the Company Group shall have breached any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant contained herein to be performed on or prior to the Closing Date, such that the conditions set forth in Article IX would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, and, if curable, such breach shall not be cured within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt by the Company Group of a notice describing in reasonable detail the nature of such breach.

(d) The Company Group may terminate this Agreement by giving notice to any Purchaser Party on or prior to the Closing Date, if any Purchaser Party shall have breached any of its covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties contained herein to be performed on or prior to the Closing Date, such that the conditions set forth in Article IX would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, and, if curable, such breach shall not be cured within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt by such Purchaser Party(s) of a notice describing in reasonable detail the nature of such breach.

(e) Either the Purchaser Parties or the Company may terminate this Agreement if, at the Parent Extraordinary General Meeting (including any postponements or adjournments thereof), the Parent Shareholder Approval Matters shall fail to be approved by the affirmative vote of the Parent shareholders required under Parent’s Organizational Documents and Cayman Islands Companies Law.

(f) Except as otherwise specified herein, neither the Purchaser nor the Company may terminate this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

12.2 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination.

(a) Any termination of this Agreement under Section 12.1 above (other than Section 12.1(g) above) will be effective immediately upon the delivery of written notice of the terminating Party to the other Parties (or thirty (30) days thereafter, if the termination is pursuant to Section 12.1(c) or (d), the applicable breach is curable and the applicable breach remains uncured upon the expiration of such 30 day period).

(b) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in this Article XII, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned, except nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any intentional and willful breach of this Agreement by such party occurring prior to such termination. Without limiting the foregoing, except as set forth in this Section 12.2 and subject to the right to seek injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief in accordance with Section 13.2, the parties’ sole right prior to 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 shall be the right, if applicable, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Article XII.

13.2 Amendments; No Waivers; Remedies.

(a) This Agreement cannot be amended, except by a writing signed by each of the Purchaser, the Parent (prior to the Reincorporation Effective Time), the Company and the Stockholders’ Representative, and cannot be terminated orally or by course of conduct. No provision hereof can be waived, except by a writing signed by the party against whom such waiver is to be enforced, and any such waiver shall apply only in the particular instance in which such waiver shall have been given.

(b) Neither any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any condition. No notice to or demand on a party shall waive or otherwise affect any obligation of that party or impair any right of the party giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required by this Agreement. No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved party whole with respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any other breach.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, including in Article X, no statement herein of any right or remedy shall impair any other right or remedy stated herein or that otherwise may be available.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, neither shall any party seek, nor shall any party be liable for, punitive or exemplary damages, under any tort, contract, equity, or other legal theory, with respect to any breach (or alleged breach) of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any matter otherwise relating hereto or arising in connection herewith.

(e) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 13.2 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

13.3 Arm’s Length Bargaining; No Presumption Against Drafter. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s-length by parties of equal bargaining strength, each represented by counsel or having had but declined the opportunity to be represented by counsel and having participated in the drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the parties, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any party in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Agreement or such provision.

13.4 Publicity. Except as required by law and except with respect to the Parent SEC Documents, the parties agree that neither they nor their agents shall issue any press release or make any other public disclosure concerning the transactions contemplated hereunder without the prior approval of the other party hereto. If a party is required to make such a disclosure as required by law, the parties will use their best efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or public disclosure to be issued.

13.5 Expenses. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, unless otherwise specified herein.

13.6 No Assignment or Delegation. No party may assign any right or delegate any obligation hereunder, including by merger, consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise, without the written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be void, in addition to constituting a material breach of this Agreement.

13.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

13.8 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon delivery to each party of an executed counterpart or the earlier delivery to each party of original, photocopied, or electronically transmitted signature pages that together (but need not individually) bear the signatures of all other parties.

13.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Additional Agreements, including any exhibits and schedules attached hereto or thereto, sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements related thereto (whether written or oral), all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement, including any exhibits and schedules attached hereto or thereto may be explained or qualified by any agreement, negotiations, understanding, discussion, conduct or course of conduct or by any trade usage. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein or any Additional Agreement, there is no condition precedent to the effectiveness of any provision hereof or thereof. No party has relied on any representation from, or warranty or agreement of, any person in entering into this Agreement, prior hereto or contemporaneous herewith or any Additional Agreement, except those expressly stated herein or therein.

13.10 Severability. A determination by a court or other legal authority that any provision that is not of the essence of this Agreement is legally invalid shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to substitute (or cause such court or other legal authority to substitute) for any provision so held to be invalid a valid provision, as alike in substance to such invalid provision as is lawful.

13.11 Construction of Certain Terms and References; Captions. In this Agreement:

(a) References to particular sections and subsections, schedules, and exhibits not otherwise specified are cross-references to sections and subsections, schedules, and exhibits of this Agreement.

(b) The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and, unless the context requires otherwise, “party” means a party signatory hereto.

(c) Any use of the singular or plural, or the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, includes the others, unless the context otherwise requires; “including” means “including without limitation;” “or” means “and/or;” “any” means “any one, more than one, or all;” and, unless otherwise specified, any financial or accounting term has the meaning of the term under United States generally accepted accounting principles as consistently applied heretofore by the Company Group.

(d) Unless otherwise specified, any reference to any agreement (including this Agreement), instrument, or other document includes all schedules, exhibits, or other attachments referred to therein, and any reference to a statute or other law includes any rule, regulation, ordinance, or the like promulgated thereunder, in each case, as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time.

(e) Any reference to a numbered schedule means the same-numbered section of the disclosure schedule. The information furnished in the Schedule 5 and Schedule 6 is arranged in sections corresponding to the sections of this Agreement, and the disclosures in any section of the schedules shall qualify (a) the corresponding section of this Agreement and (b) other sections of this Agreement to the extent (notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross-reference), that it is reasonably apparent on its face that such disclosure is also applicable to such other sections of this Agreement. The schedules and the information and disclosures contained in such schedules are intended only to qualify and limit the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement and shall not be deemed to expand in any way the scope of any such representation or warranty. The inclusion of any information in the schedules shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment that such information is material or outside the ordinary course of business. The inclusion of any fact or information in a schedule is not intended to be construed as an admission or concession as to the legal effect of any such fact or information in any proceeding between any party and any Person who is not a party.

(f) If any action is required to be taken or notice is required to be given within a specified number of days following a specific date or event, the day of such date or event is not counted in determining the last day for such action or notice. If any action is required to be taken or notice is required to be given on or before a particular day which is not a Business Day, such action or notice shall be considered timely if it is taken or given on or before the next Business Day.

(g) Captions are not a part of this Agreement, but are included for convenience, only.

(h) For the avoidance of any doubt, (i) all references in this Agreement to “the knowledge of the Company” or “knowledge of the Company Group” or similar terms shall be deemed to include the actual knowledge of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and the other executive officers of the Company and (ii) all references to the “knowledge of the Parent” or “knowledge of the Purchaser” or similar terms shall be deemed to include the actual knowledge of the officers of Parent.

13.12 Further Assurances. Each party shall execute and deliver such documents and take such action, as may reasonably be considered within the scope of such party’s obligations hereunder, necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

13.13 Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof confers any benefit or right upon or may be enforced by any Person not a signatory hereto.

13.14 Waiver. Reference is made to the final IPO prospectus of the Parent, dated February 13, 2020 (the “Prospectus”). The Company Group has read the Prospectus and understand that the Parent has established the Trust Account for the benefit of the public shareholders of the Parent and the underwriters of the IPO pursuant to the Trust Agreement and that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Parent may disburse monies from the Trust Account only for the purposes set forth in the Trust Agreement. For and in consideration of the Parent agreeing to enter into this Agreement, the Company Group hereby agrees that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and hereby agrees that it will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Purchaser.

13.15 Stockholders’ Representative. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ is hereby appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact for each of the Stockholders to represent the interests of the Stockholders and to take all actions and make all decisions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Representative in connection with this Agreement and the Additional Agreements, including the power (i) to enter into and deliver the Escrow Agreement and the Earn-out Escrow Agreement on behalf of each of the Stockholders (other than the Bridge Lender in its capacity as the holder of the Bridge Loan Shares), (ii) to make all determinations and issue all notices pursuant to Section 4.4 above and the Earn-out Escrow Agreement on behalf of each of the Stockholders (other than the Bridge Lender in its capacity as the holder of the Bridge Loan Shares), (ii) to defend, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with claims under Article X hereof and under the Escrow Agreement on behalf of each of the Stockholders (other than the Bridge Lender in its capacity as the holder of the Bridge Loan Shares), (iii) to defend, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any other litigation or dispute involving this Agreement, and (iv) after the Closing, to amend this Agreement; provided, that, unless the Stockholder Representative receives the written consent of 51% of all of the shares of Company Common Stock on an as-if converted basis outstanding immediately prior to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Stockholders’ Representative shall not enter into an amendment to this Agreement that would have required the approval of the Stockholders under applicable Law if it had been adopted prior to the Closing; provided, further, that if any amendment disproportionately and adversely impacts a Stockholder (or group of Stockholders), the written consent of such disproportionately impacted Stockholder (or group of Stockholders) shall also be required. The Stockholders’ Representative may be removed by the Stockholders from time to time upon no less than twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser Parties and, if after the Closing, the Purchaser, provided, however, that the Stockholders’ Representative may not be removed unless holders of at least 51% of all of the shares of Company Common Stock on an as-if converted basis outstanding immediately prior to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement agree to such removal. Any vacancy in the position of Stockholders’ Representative may be filled by approval of the holders of at least 51% of all of the shares of Company Common Stock on an as-if converted basis outstanding immediately prior to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Any removal or change of the Stockholders’ Representative shall not be effective until written notice is delivered to the Parent or Purchaser, as applicable. No bond shall be required of the Stockholders’ Representative, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall not receive any compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholders’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Stockholders. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable business judgment. In connection with the performance of his rights and obligations hereunder, the Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right at any time and from time to time to select and engage attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, advisors, consultants and clerical personnel and obtain such other professional and expert assistance, maintain such records and incur other out-of-pocket expenses, as the Stockholders’ Representative may deem necessary or desirable from time to time, at the cost and expense of the Company, but subject to the indemnification obligations of Article X. The Company shall indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative and hold it harmless against any Loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, including any out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative shall, for all purposes hereunder, constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction of all of the Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of the Stockholders. The appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative will be deemed coupled with an interest and will be irrevocable without the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, and shall survive the death, incapacity, or bankruptcy of any Stockholder. The provisions of this Section 13.15 shall be binding upon the executors, heirs, legal representatives, personal representatives, successor trustees and successors of each Stockholder. All of the indemnities, immunities, rights, releases and powers granted to the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement shall survive the Closing.
