6.8 Trust Fund. As of the date of this Agreement, Parent has approximately $230,000,000 in the trust fund established by Parent for the benefit of its Public Stockholders (the “Trust Fund”) in a trust account at ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank, N.A (the “Trust Account”), and such monies are invested in “government securities” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and held in trust by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2020, between Parent and the Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement is valid and in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms and has not been amended or modified. There are no separate agreements, side letters or other agreements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Parent SEC Documents to be inaccurate in any material respect and/or that would entitle any Person (other than the payment of the Business Combination Fees and holders of Parent Public Shares who shall have elected to redeem their shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation), to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Fund. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except (a) to pay tax obligations from any interest income earned in the Trust Account; or (b) to redeem shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

6.9 Employees; Purchaser Benefit Plans. Other than as described in the Parent SEC Documents, neither Parent nor Purchaser has ever had any employees. Other than reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Parent’s or Purchaser’s officers and directors in connection with activities on Parent’s or Purchaser’s behalf in an aggregate amount not in excess of the amount of cash held by Purchaser outside of the Trust Account, there are no Purchaser Plans (as defined below) and neither Parent nor Purchaser has any unsatisfied material liability with respect to any employee. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Business Combination alone or with any other event will (a) result in any payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any current or former director, officer, employee or other individual service provider of Parent or Purchaser, or (b) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits. “Purchaser Plan” means each material “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), employment, compensation, retention, relocation, vacation, change in control, transaction bonus, bonus, deferred compensation, equity-based or non-equity- based incentive, severance, health and welfare, retirement or other fringe benefit or compensatory plan, policy, program or written agreement maintained or contributed to, or required to be maintained or contributed to, by any of the MSP Companies in respect of any current or former directors, officers, consultants, independent contractors or employees of any of the MSP Companies, or with respect to which any of the MSP Companies could incur or could have incurred any direct or indirect, fixed or contingent liability (each a “Purchaser Plan” and collectively, the “Purchaser Plans”).

6.10 Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Parent and Purchaser in writing expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the filings with the SEC and mailings to Parent’s stockholders, in each case with respect to the solicitation of proxies to approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will, at the date of filing and/or mailing, as the case may be, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading (subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth in the materials provided by Parent or Purchaser or that is included in Parent SEC Documents).

6.11 Listing. The Parent Units, Parent Class A Common Stock and Parent Public Warrants are listed on Nasdaq, with trading tickers LCAPU, LCAP and LCAPW.

Parent has taken no action that is designed to terminate the registration of Parent Common Stock under the Exchange Act.

6.13 Undisclosed Liabilities. Parent has no liabilities, debts or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, fixed or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, asserted or unasserted, or otherwise) of a nature required to be disclosed on a balance sheet or in the related notes to Parent Financial Statements that are, individually or in the aggregate, material to the business, results of operations or financial condition of Parent, except: (a) liabilities provided for in or otherwise disclosed in the balance sheet included in the most recent Parent Financial Statements or in the notes to the most recent Parent Financial Statements, (b) such liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since the date of the most recent Purchaser Financial Statements and (c) arising under this Agreement and/or the performance by Parent of its obligations hereunder, including transaction expenses, in each case which would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Purchaser has no liabilities.

6.14 Parent SEC Documents and Parent Financial Statements.

(a) Parent has timely filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents, including any exhibits thereto, required to be filed or furnished by Parent with the SEC since Parent’s formation under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, together with any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto (the “Parent SEC Documents”). The Parent SEC Documents were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Parent SEC Documents did not and will not, at the time they were or are filed, as the case may be, with the SEC (except to the extent that information contained in any Parent SEC Document has been or is revised or superseded by a later filed Parent SEC Document, then on the date of such filing) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As used in this Section 6.14(a), the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC.

(b) Each of the financial statements (including, in each case, any notes thereto) contained in the Parent SEC Documents was prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) and each fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Parent as at the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated therein. Parent has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

6.15 Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2020, (a) there has not been any Parent Material Adverse Effect and (b) Parent has not conducted any business other than its formation, the public offering of its securities (and the related private offerings), the filing of public reports under the Exchange Act, the search for, negotiation of, and other preparation for the execution of, a Business Combination and in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Additional Agreements, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and other activities in each case that are incidental thereto.

The Sponsor Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been withdrawn or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified, in any respect, and no withdrawal, termination, amendment or modification is contemplated by Parent. The Sponsor Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, each other party thereto and neither the execution or delivery by any party thereto, nor the performance of any party’s obligations under, the Sponsor Agreement violates any provision of, or results in the breach of or default under, or require any filing, registration or qualification under, any applicable Law. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent under any material term or condition of the Sponsor Agreement.

6.18 Related Party Transactions. Except as described in the Parent SEC Documents, there are no transactions, contracts, side letters, arrangements or understandings between Parent or Purchaser, on the one hand, and any director, officer, employee, stockholder, warrant holder or Affiliate of Parent or Purchaser.

6.19 Investment Company Act. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

6.20 Parent Stockholders. To the knowledge of Parent and Purchaser, no foreign person (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.224) in which the national or subnational governments of a single foreign state have a substantial interest (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.244) will acquire a substantial interest in the MSP Companies as a result of the Acquisition such that a declaration to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would be mandatory under 31 C.F.R. Part 800.401, and no foreign person will have control (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.208) over the MSP Companies post-Closing.

6.21 Parent Investigations. Parent acknowledges that it and its Representatives have received access to such books and records, facilities, equipment, contracts and other assets of the MSP Companies which they and their Representatives have desired or requested to review, and that they and their Representatives have had full opportunity to meet with the management of the MSP Companies and to discuss the business and assets of the MSP Companies. Parent acknowledges and agrees that it has made its own inquiry and investigation into, and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning, the MSP Companies and the Business.

6.22 No Other Representations and Warranties. Except as provided in this Article VI, neither Purchaser or any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective managers, directors, officers, employees, equity holders, partners, members or representatives has made, or is making, any representation or warranty whatsoever to the MSP Companies or the Members.

7.3 Key Employees of the MSP Companies. The MSP Companies shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to enter into the Employment and Restrictive Covenant Agreements with each of the Key Employees prior to the Closing Date.

7.4 Tax Matters.

(a) The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the transfer of the Interests shall be treated for federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes as follows: (a) the Purchaser shall be treated as a continuation of MSP Recovery LLC (the “Continuing Partnership”); (b) each Member, to the extent receiving Equity Consideration, shall be treated as transferring their Interests to the Purchaser in a transaction governed by Section 721; (c) any gain or loss recognized by a Member in connection with such transactions shall be capital gain or loss (subject to Section 751 of the Code); (d) Parent shall be treated as purchasing the proportionate, undivided interest in the assets of the MSP Companies from each Member; and (e) the Continuing Partnership (or, as applicable, its members) shall be entitled to adjust the basis of the assets of the MSP Purchased Companies to fair market value as provided in, as applicable, Section 734 and Section 743 as determined pursuant to this Section 7.4(a). Each of the parties hereto shall act consistently with the provisions of this Agreement at all times and for all purposes, including for purposes of reporting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the IRS and any other state or local taxing authority having jurisdiction over the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser and the Members further agree not to take any position on any Tax Return or in any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to any such Tax Return inconsistent with such treatment except as otherwise required by applicable Law or a determination of the applicable Taxing Authority that is final (including a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code). The Members shall not cause or permit the Members’ Representative to knowingly or voluntarily file any other income or informational Tax Return or statement inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement except as otherwise required by applicable Law or a determination of the applicable Taxing Authority that is final (including a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code). In furtherance of the foregoing, at least 30 days prior to the Closing Date, Parent and the Members’ Representative shall agree on the form of the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule (as defined below) and the principles on which such allocations shall be made (the “Purchase Price Allocation Principles”). Furthermore, within 90 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall allocate the Purchase Price among the undivided interest in the assets of the MSP Companies (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”). The Purchase Price Allocation Schedule will (a) be subject to Members’ Representative’s review and comment; (b) incorporate any reasonable comments made by Members’ Representative; and (c) be prepared in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation Principles and applicable provisions of the Code. Purchaser, the MSP Companies, and the Members will file all Tax Returns (and cause their respective Affiliates to file all Tax Returns) consistently with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule (as appropriately adjusted) and will not take any position during the course of any audit or other legal proceeding that is inconsistent with such election, forms or schedule, unless (i) agreed by the Parties or (ii) required by applicable Law or a determination of the applicable Taxing Authority that is final (including a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a)).

(b) The Members’ Representative shall properly prepare or cause to be properly prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed, at the cost of the MSP Companies, (i) all Tax Returns of the MSP Companies that are due in the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and (ii) all Pass- Through Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Period that are due following the Closing Date, including the final Form 1065 partnership return for the MSP Companies for the tax period ending on the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Return” and, collectively, the “Pre-Closing Tax Returns”). The Members’ Representative shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes due with respect to the periods covered by such Pre-Closing Tax Returns. Each Pre-Closing Tax Return filed after the Closing Date shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the MSP Companies’ past practices except as otherwise required by applicable Law. Each Pre-Closing Tax Return filed after the Closing Date (taking into account applicable extensions) shall be submitted to Parent no later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (taking into account applicable extensions) for review. The Members’ Representative shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments received from Parent no later than ten (10) days prior to the due date for filing any such Tax Return (taking into account applicable extensions) and shall not file such Tax Return without the consent of Parent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Except as otherwise required by law or would not reasonably be expected to have a material effect on Parent, no filed Pre-Closing Tax Return may be amended after the Closing without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that in all cases the Members’ Representative shall submit to Parent no later than thirty (30) days prior to filing any amended Pre-Closing Tax Return for review and comment by Parent and the Members’ Representative shall consider in good faith all reasonable comments received from Parent within twenty (20) days of delivering any such Tax Returns to Parent.

(c) Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns of the MSP Companies due after the Closing Date (i) which include taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) with respect to any Tax period which begins before or on (and including) the Closing Date and which ends on (and including) the Closing Date (any such period described in (ii), a “Straddle Period,” and any such Tax Return described in (i) or (ii), a “Straddle Return”) other than Pre-Closing Tax Returns. Any Straddle Return shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with the most recent past practice of the MSP Companies. For purposes of determining the amount of Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Portion”), (i) in the case of any Taxes (other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts) that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of any Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be determined based on an “interim closing of the books” as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which any MSP Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time). For purposes of preparing any Pass-Through Tax Return that is a Straddle Return, each Member’s and each distributive share of all items of profits, losses and any other items of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be determined by closing the books of the MSP Companies on an interim basis as of the end of the day on the Closing Date and such items shall be allocated to each Member in accordance with Section 706(c)(2) of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder using the interim closing method and calendar day convention as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-4(c).

(d) With respect to any Straddle Return, the MSP Companies shall deliver, at least 30 days prior to the due date for the filing of such Straddle Return (taking into account extensions), to Members’ Representative a statement setting forth the amount of the Pre-Closing Portion of such Taxes and a copy of each such Straddle Return for the Members’ Representative’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Members’ Representative and Purchaser agree to consult and resolve in good faith any issue arising as a result of the review of such Straddle Returns and statements prior to the date on which such Straddle Returns are required to be filed.

(e) Parent, Purchaser, the Members, the Members’ Representative and the MSP Companies shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 7.4. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to the preparation and filing of any such Tax Return. Purchaser and the Members shall (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the MSP Purchased Companies relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations of the respective taxable periods, and abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority; and (ii) give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the MSP Purchased Companies, Purchaser or the Members, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(f) Within thirty (30) business days after the Purchaser’s, any MSP Companies’, or any Member’s receipt of a notice of audit, assessment or other proceeding respecting a Pre-Closing Tax Return, the Members’ Representative may elect with respect to such audit, by written notice to Parent, to contest the audit or assessment in the name of the MSP Companies. If the Members’ Representative so elects, they shall be solely responsible for the defense of the item or items at issue, except that Parent agrees to cooperate, and Parent will cause the Purchaser and the MSP Companies to cooperate, in the contest of such audit or assessment by making relevant documents and employees available to the Members’ Representative, and to execute such documents (including powers of attorney) as may be reasonably necessary to allow the Members’ Representative to conduct the defense. The Members shall bear all costs relating to such defense. If the Members’ Representative elects to conduct a defense, all decisions with respect to the negotiation, settlement, or litigation of the item or items at issue shall be made by the Members’ Representative and shall be binding upon Parent, except that the Members’ Representative shall be required to obtain the prior written consent of Parent before agreeing to any adjustment, or making any Tax election, that will or may create an increase in Taxes for the MSP Companies or Parent in respect of any period ending after the Closing Date and shall indemnify Parent and/or the MSP Companies or, and hold Parent and/or the MSP Companies harmless against, any such increase. Parent may control and contest any such Tax proceeding (1) for which the Members’ Representative would otherwise have the right to control under this Section 7.4(f) if the Members’ Representative elects in writing not to conduct such Tax proceeding (in which case the cost and expense of such control and contest shall be borne by MSP Companies) and (2) in respect of any MSP Company with respect to any income Tax matters for any Straddle Period; provided, further, however, that if Parent exercises its right to control any such Tax proceeding under the preceding clause, the Members’ Representative shall have the right, at the cost and expense of the MSP Companies, to participate in any such Tax proceeding and Parent shall (x) provide the Members’ Representative with a timely and reasonably detailed account of each stage of such Tax proceeding, (y) not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of the Members’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (z) consult with the Members’ Representative in good faith concerning the appropriate strategy for contesting such Tax proceeding.

(g) Without the prior written consent of the Members’ Representative, Parent, Purchaser, and the MSP Companies shall not amend, file, refile, revoke or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election, enter into any closing agreement, settle any claim with respect to Taxes, surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes, or take any similar action if such action would have the effect of increasing any Tax liability of the Members for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period.

Without the prior written consent of the Members’ Representative, the Parent Proposals shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which Parent shall propose to be acted on by Parent’s stockholders at the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, as adjourned or postponed.

(b) Each of Parent and the MSP Companies shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the Form S-4 effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Acquisition. Each of Parent and the MSP Companies shall furnish all information concerning it as may reasonably be requested by the other Party in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. As promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act (the “SEC Clearance Date”), but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, Parent shall cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to its stockholders of record, as of the record date to be established by the board of directors of Parent in accordance with Section 9.3. Parent shall promptly commence a “broker search” in accordance with Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act.

In connection therewith, the Members’ Representative shall instruct the employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors, and other authorized representatives of the MSP Companies to reasonably cooperate with Parent if required to achieve the foregoing. Parent and the MSP Companies shall each ensure that the Proxy Statement/Prospectus does not, as of the date on which it is first distributed to Parent’s stockholders and as of the date of the Parent Stockholders’ 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 Proxy Statement/Prospectus).

Parent shall not file any such documents with the SEC without the prior written consent of the Members’ Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each of Parent and the MSP Companies shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), any response to comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any amendment to the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed in response thereto. Parent will advise the Members’ Representative promptly after it receives notice of: (A) the time when the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus has been filed; (B) the filing of any supplement or amendment to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus; (C) any request by the SEC for amendment of the Form S- 4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus; (D) any comments from the SEC relating to the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and responses thereto; and (E) requests by the SEC for additional information. Parent shall respond to any SEC comments on the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus as promptly as practicable and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement/Prospectus cleared by the SEC under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable; provided, that prior to responding to any requests or comments from the SEC, Parent will make available to the Members’ Representative drafts of any such response and provide the Members’ Representative with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts.

(e) If at any time prior to the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, any information relating to Parent, Purchaser, the Members or the MSP Companies, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, managers, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Members’ Representative or Parent, as applicable, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that the Proxy Statement/Prospectus would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify each other Party hereto, and Parent shall promptly file with the SEC an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information and, to the extent required by law, disseminate such amendment or supplement to Parent’s stockholders. If, at any time prior to the Closing, the Members’ Representative discovers any information, event or circumstance relating to the MSP Companies, the Business or any of the MSP Companies’ Affiliates, officers, directors or employees, that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Members’ Representative shall promptly inform Parent of such information, event or circumstance.

(f) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement or any Additional Agreements, Parent may make any public filing with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent required by applicable Law.

8.4 Trust Account. Parent has established the Trust Account from the proceeds of its IPO and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO for the benefit of the Public Stockholders and certain parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). Except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, Parent shall disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem Parent Public Shares in connection with the consummation of Purchaser’s initial business combination (“Business Combination”) or an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation in accordance with the terms set forth therein; (b) to the Public Stockholders if Purchaser fails to consummate a Business Combination by February 18, 2022 (the “Business Combination Date”), which date may be extended upon approval of the Parent’s stockholders to amend the Certificate of Incorporation; (c) in connection with a Business Combination, expenses owed by Parent to third parties to which they are owed; (d) in connection with a Business Combination, the Business Combination Fees to the underwriters in the IPO; or (e) to, or on behalf of, Parent after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination.

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. The Parties acknowledge that some Confidential Information will be required to be disclosed by applicable Law in the Proxy Statement or any Other Filings.

8.6 Publicity. None of Parent, Purchaser, the Members, the MSP Purchased Companies or any of their respective Affiliates shall make any public announcement or issue any public communication regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any matter related to the foregoing, without first obtaining the prior consent of the Members’ Representative or Parent, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except if such announcement or other communication is required by applicable Law or legal process (including pursuant to the Federal Securities Laws or the rules of any national securities exchange), in which case Parent or the Members’ Representative, as applicable, shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain such consent with respect to such announcement or communication with the other Party, prior to announcement or issuance; provided, however, that, subject to this Section 8.6, each Party and its Affiliates may make announcements regarding the status and terms (including price terms) of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to their respective directors, officers, employees, direct and indirect current or prospective limited partners and investors or otherwise in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, in each case, so long as such recipients are obligated to keep such information confidential without the consent of any other Party; and provided, further, that the foregoing shall not prohibit any Party from communicating with third parties to the extent necessary for the purpose of seeking any third party consent; provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.6, nothing herein shall modify or affect Parent’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.3, Section 9.2 or Section 9.3.

8.7 Notices of Certain Events. The Members’ Representative and the Members, on the one hand, and Parent and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall promptly notify the other Party of:

(a) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging or raising the possibility that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement might give rise to any Action or other rights by or on behalf of such Person or result in the loss of any rights or privileges of the MSP Companies or Parent and its Subsidiaries to any such Person or create any Lien on any Interest or any of the assets of the MSP Companies or Parent and its Subsidiaries;

(f) if any MSP Purchased Company or any Member, on the one hand, or Parent or Purchaser, on the other hand, becomes aware of any fact or condition that constitutes a breach of any representation or warranty made in Article IV (as it relates to the MSP Purchased Companies), Article V (as it relates to the Members), Article VI (as it relates to Parent and Purchaser), or any covenant that would reasonably be expected to cause the conditions set forth in Article X, as applicable, not to be satisfied as of the Closing Date.

8.8 Exclusivity.

(b) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering the D&O Persons on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage for any manager, director, officer or employee of any MSP Company prior to the Closing; provided, however, that (i) Parent may cause coverage to be extended under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy containing terms not materially less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Policy”) and (ii) if any claim is asserted or made within such six-year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 9.4(b) shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 9.4 shall survive the consummation of the Acquisition indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on Parent, Purchaser and the MSP Companies following the Closing, and all successors and assigns of Parent, Purchaser and the MSP Companies. In the event that Parent, Purchaser or the MSP Companies or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, Purchaser or the MSP Companies, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 9.4.

(d) The provisions of this Section 9.4 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each D&O Person or his or her heirs and his or her Representatives; and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise. The obligations of the Parent, Purchaser or MSP Companies under this Section 9.4 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Person to whom this Section 9.4 applies without the consent of the affected D&O Person (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Persons to whom this Section 9.4 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 9.4). Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall enter into a written agreement reasonably satisfactory to Parent, Purchaser and the Members’ Representative guaranteeing Parent’s indemnification obligations in place immediately prior to the Closing with respect to the D&O Persons who, immediately prior to the Closing, are directors or officers of Parent.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.4, any indemnification agreement or arrangements of the MSP Companies or in the Organizational Documents of the MSP Companies, no such D&O Persons will have any right of indemnification, advancement or exculpation from the Parent, the Purchaser or any of their successors or permitted assigns (which shall not include, for the avoidance of doubt, any of the MSP Companies) pursuant to this Section 9.4 in connection with, or related to, any claim for indemnification asserted by any Parent Indemnitees pursuant to Section 11.1.

9.5 Listing. From the date of this Agreement through the Closing, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to remain listed as a public company on, and for shares of Parent Class A Common Stock to be tradable over, the applicable Nasdaq market(s). Parent shall take all steps reasonably necessary or advisable to cause the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock and the New Warrants to trade under the symbols “MSPR” and “MSPR W” upon the Closing, or under such other symbols as the Members’ Representative and Parent may otherwise agree prior to the Closing. Parent shall take all steps reasonably necessary or advisable to cause the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock to be issued (x) pursuant to the terms of Article III, if any, and (y) on conversion of the Purchaser Class B Units that are included in the Up-C Units, as provided for in the Purchaser A&R LLCA, in each case to be approved for listing on Nasdaq.

9.6 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall take all commercially reasonable steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) to cause any acquisition or disposition of the Parent Class A Common Stock or any derivative thereof, including the Purchaser Class B Units, that occurs or is deemed to occur by reason of or pursuant to the Acquisition by each Person who is or will be or may be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Parent to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including by taking steps in accordance with the No-Action Letter, dated January 12, 1999, issued by the SEC regarding such matters.

9.7 Adoption of Equity Incentive Plan. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall approve, and subject to approval of the stockholders of Parent, adopt, a management incentive equity plan, including an employee stock purchase plan attached as an addendum thereto, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Equity Incentive Plan”).

9.8 Appointment of Post-Closing Board of Directors and Officers. The Parties shall take all necessary action to cause (a) the board of directors of Parent as of immediately following the Closing to consist of the individuals set forth in Section 2.4, and (b) the executive officers of Parent and Purchaser, effective as of the Closing, to be as set forth on Schedule 9.8.

9.9 Parent Charter and Bylaws; Purchaser Organizational Documents. Prior to the Closing, Parent and Purchaser shall (i) subject to obtaining the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters, amend and restate the certificate of incorporation of Parent to be substantially in the form of the SPAC Charter, (ii) amend and restate the bylaws of Parent to be substantially in the form of the SPAC Bylaws, and (iii) amend and restate the limited liability company agreement of Purchaser to be substantially in the form of the Purchaser A&R LLCA.

9.10 Parent Public Filings. From the date hereof through the Closing, Parent will keep current and timely file all reports required to be filed or furnished with the SEC and otherwise comply in all material respects with its reporting obligations under applicable Federal Securities Laws.

9.11 Stockholder Litigation. Parent shall notify Members’ Representative promptly in connection with any threat to file, or filing of, an Action related to this Agreement or the Acquisition by any of its shareholders or holders of any Parent Warrants against any of the Parent Parties or against any of their respective directors or officers (any such action, a “Stockholder Action”). Parent shall keep Members’ Representative reasonably apprised of the defense, settlement, prosecution or other developments with respect to any such Stockholder Action. Parent shall give Members’ Representative the opportunity to participate in, subject to a customary joint defense agreement, the defense of any such litigation, to give due consideration to Members’ Representative’s advice with respect to such litigation and to not settle any such litigation without the prior written consent of Members’ Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall bear all costs of investigation and all defense and attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and all settlement payments related to such Stockholder Action incurred by Parent.

9.12 Extension. If either the Members’ Representative (on behalf of the Members) or Parent reasonably believes that the Closing may not occur by the Business Combination Date, but that the Parties are reasonably capable of causing the Closing to occur prior to the Outside Closing Date, then Parent may, and at the request of the Members’ Representative (on behalf of the Members), Parent shall, take all actions reasonably necessary (including pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of Parent) to obtain the approval of Parent’s stockholders to extend the deadline for Parent to consummate its initial business combination beyond February 18, 2022 to a date no earlier than sixty (60) days following the Outside Closing Date (the “Extension”), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such approval by no later than December 18, 2021 (the “Extension Approval Date”).

ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Indemnification of Parent. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, including this Article XI, the MSP Companies (solely with respect to claims made under this Section 11.1 prior to the Closing), and the Members listed on Schedule 2.1(b) (collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) severally and not jointly (in accordance with their pro rata share of Closing Equity Consideration to be received by such Member as set forth on Schedule 2.1(b)), agree to indemnify and hold harmless Parent and Purchaser, and each of their respective Affiliates, managers, directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, successors and permitted assignees (the “Parent Indemnitees”), against and in respect of any and all actual out-of-pocket losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including actual costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) (all of the foregoing collectively, “Losses”) incurred or sustained by any Parent Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with (a) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations or warranties of the MSP Companies or the Members contained herein, as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such specified date); or (b) any breach or non-compliance of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the MSP Companies or the Members contained herein to be performed prior to or at the Closing.

11.2 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 11.1 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) the Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable to the Parent Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 11.1 until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 11.1 exceeds $20,000,000, in which event the Indemnifying Parties shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar; and

(b) Any liability incurred by the Members pursuant to the terms of this Article XI shall be paid by the return for cancellation of Up-C Units comprising the Escrow Consideration in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 11.3. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Indemnifying Parties shall be liable pursuant to Section 11.1 shall not exceed the Escrow Consideration (the “Cap”), and the Parties agree that the sole and exclusive recourse for any amount finally determined to be owed in respect of any indemnity obligations pursuant to this Article XI shall be made only by disbursement of the Escrow Consideration out of the Escrow Fund, no other assets shall in any respect be used to satisfy such indemnity obligations, and once the Escrow Fund shall be depleted or released, such indemnity obligations shall terminate.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Agreement, none of the provisions of this Article XI apply to the Employment and Restrictive Covenant Agreements.

11.3 Procedure. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by any Parent Indemnitee (an “Indemnified Party”) for indemnification:

(a) An Indemnified Party shall give the Members’ Representative prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) of any third-party action with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to Section 11.1, 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 Section 11.1, except to the extent such failure adversely affects the ability of Parent and its Affiliates (including the MSP Companies, after the Closing) or the Indemnifying Parties to defend such claim, or increases the amount of such liability.

(b) If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third- Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 11.3(c), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 11.3(c), pay, compromise, or defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Parent and the MSP Companies shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third- Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in this Section 11.3(c). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within 10 calendar days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 11.3(b), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof, which notice shall also be referred to as an “Indemnification Notice.” Such Indemnification Notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, to the extent such amount is known or is capable of being estimated, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such Indemnification Notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the MSP Companies’ premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) Other than with respect to Third-Party Claims for which indemnification is provided under the terms of this Agreement, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple.

(f) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.

(g) No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under this Article XI for any Losses based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the MSP Companies or Members contained in this Agreement if Parent or Purchaser had knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing.

11.4 Escrow of Escrow Consideration by Members. The holding and disbursement of the Escrow Consideration shall be pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

(a) Escrow Consideration; Payment of Dividends; Voting. Any dividends, interest payments, or other distributions of any kind made in respect of the Escrow Consideration will be delivered promptly to the Escrow Agent to be held in escrow in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The Indemnifying Parties shall be entitled to vote any shares of Parent Common Stock comprising the Escrow Consideration (in accordance with their pro rata share set forth on Schedule 2.1(b)) on any matters to come before the stockholders of Parent.

(b) Distribution of Escrow Consideration. At the times provided for in Section 11.4(d), the Escrow Consideration shall be released to the Members’ Representative for distribution to the Members. Purchaser will take such action as may be necessary to cause such certificates to be issued in the names of the appropriate persons. Certificates representing Escrow Consideration 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 Members’ Representative and all fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

(c) Assignability. No Escrow Consideration or any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, sold, assigned or transferred, including by operation of law, by the Members or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of the Members, prior to the delivery to such Members by the Members’ Representative of the Escrow Consideration by the Escrow Agent as provided herein.

(d) Release from Escrow Fund. Within five (5) Business Days following expiration of the Survival Period (the “Release Date”), the remaining Escrow Consideration will be released from escrow to the Members’ Representative less the portion of the Escrow Consideration (at an assumed value of $10.00 per Up-C Unit comprising the Escrow Consideration) equal to the amount of any potential Losses set forth in any Indemnification Notice, complying with the requirements and received by the Member’s Representative as set forth in Section 11.3, with respect to any pending but unresolved claim for indemnification. Prior to the Release Date, the Members’ Representative shall issue to the Escrow Agent a certificate executed by it instructing the Escrow Agent to release such number Up-C Units comprising the Escrow Consideration as determined in accordance with this Section 11.4(d). Any Escrow Consideration retained in escrow as a result of the immediately preceding sentence shall be released to the Members’ Representative promptly upon resolution of the related claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI.

11.5 Insurance. Any indemnification payments hereunder shall take into account any insurance proceeds or other third-party reimbursement actually received.

11.6 Survival of Indemnification Rights. The representations and warranties of the MSP Companies and the Members shall survive until the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing (the “Survival Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the Survival Period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

11.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

11.8 Exclusive Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the sole and exclusive remedy of any Parent Indemnitee with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from intentional fraud on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XI. In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent on behalf of all Parent Indemnitees hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article XI. Nothing in this Section 11.8 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to any other Section of this Agreement or to seek any remedy on account of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct by any Party hereto.

11.9 NO ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS; NO RELIANCE. PARENT AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (A) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY MADE BY THE MSP COMPANIES OR THE MEMBERS IN Article IV AND Article V, NEITHER THE MSP COMPANIES OR THE MEMBERS OR AFFILIATE THEREOF NOR ANY OTHER PERSON HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE MSP COMPANIES OR THE BUSINESS OR THE MSP COMPANIES’ OPERATIONS, ASSETS, LIABILITIES, CONDITION (FINANCIAL OR OTHERWISE) OR PROSPECTS, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO PARENT, OR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION, FORECASTS, PROJECTIONS OR OTHER INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING; (B) PARENT AND PURCHASER HAVE NOT RELIED ON ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY FROM THE MSP COMPANIES OR THE MEMBERS OR ANY OTHER PERSON IN DETERMINING TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT; AND (C) NONE OF THE MEMBERS, THE MSP COMPANIES OR ANY OTHER PERSON WILL HAVE, OR BE SUBJECT TO, ANY LIABILITY TO PARENT OR PURCHASER OR ANY OTHER PERSON RESULTING FROM THE DISTRIBUTION TO PARENT OR PURCHASER, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE USE, OF ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE MSP COMPANIES OR THE BUSINESS OR MADE AVAILABLE TO PARENT, PURCHASER AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, INCLUDING ANY INFORMATION, DOCUMENTS OR MATERIAL MADE AVAILABLE TO PARENT OR PURCHASER IN ANY DATA ROOM, MANAGEMENT PRESENTATIONS OR IN ANY OTHER FORM IN EXPECTATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY MADE BY THE MSP COMPANIES AND THE MEMBERS IN Article IV AND Article V, ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED BY THE MSP COMPANIES AND THE MEMBERS.

ARTICLE XII

12.1 Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Additional Agreements, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, may be brought in federal and state courts located in the State of Delaware, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court.

(b) THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT EACH SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, IN ANY COURT IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT, OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER CAUSE OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT OF ANY KIND OR NATURE.

Such right may be exercised by Purchaser or the Members’ Representative, as the case may be, giving written notice to the other at any time after the Outside Closing Date; provided, however, that, the right to terminate under this Section 13.1 shall not be available to any Party that through its inaction, or by its failure to promptly fulfill its covenants or satisfy or waive its closing conditions, has caused unreasonable delays in closing by the Outside Closing Date.

13.2 Termination Upon Default.

(a) Parent may terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the Members’ Representative on or prior to the Closing Date, without prejudice to any rights or obligations Parent may have, if the MSP Companies or the Members shall have materially breached any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant contained herein or in any Additional Agreement to be performed on or prior to the Closing Date and such breach shall not be cured by the earlier of (x) the Outside Closing Date and (y) the expiration of twenty (20) days (the “Cure Period”) following receipt by the Members’ Representative of a notice describing in reasonable detail the nature of such breach.

(b) The Members’ Representative, on behalf of the MSP Companies and the Members, may terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Parent on or prior to the Closing Date, without prejudice to any rights or obligations the MSP Companies or the Members may have, if Parent or Purchaser shall have materially breached any of their respective covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties contained herein to be performed on or prior to the Closing Date and such breach shall not be cured by the earlier of (x) the Outside Closing Date and (y) the expiration of the Cure Period following receipt by Parent of a notice describing in reasonable detail the nature of such breach.

13.3 No Other Termination. Except as otherwise specified herein, neither Parent, on behalf of Parent and Purchaser, nor the Members’ Representative, on behalf of the MSP Companies and the Members, may terminate this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party.

13.4 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article XIII, all obligations of the Parties hereunder (other than Section 8.5, Article XI, this Article XIII and Article XIV, which will survive the termination of this Agreement) will terminate without any liability of any Party to any other Party; provided, further, that no termination will relieve a Party from any liability arising from or relating to any knowing and intentional breach of a representation, a warranty or a covenant by such Party prior to termination.

14.2 Amendments; No Waiver.

(a) This Agreement may not be amended, except in writing signed by each Party (subject, in the case of the Members, to Section 14.14(a)), 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) Except as otherwise provided herein, 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, 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 (except to the extent such punitive or exemplary damages are actually awarded pursuant to a Third-Party Claim and are indemnifiable hereunder), 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.

14.3 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.

14.4 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions herein contemplated whether or not such transactions shall be consummated, including all fees of its legal counsel, financial advisers and accountants; provided that if the Closing occurs, Parent shall bear and pay at or promptly after Closing, (x) all Parent Transaction Expenses in an amount not to exceed $60,000,000 (unless any such excess is agreed to in writing by the Members’ Representative) and (y) all MSP Company Transaction Expenses.

14.5 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.

14.6 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.

14.7 Counterparts; facsimile and 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.

14.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Additional Agreements, 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 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.

14.9 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.

14.10 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 U.S. GAAP as consistently applied heretofore.

(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. Any reference to a numbered schedule means the same- numbered section of the disclosure schedule.

(e) 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.

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

(g) The phrases “provided to,” “furnished to,” “made available” and phrases of similar import when used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, means that a copy of the information or material referred to has been provided no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the day immediately prior to the date of this Agreement to the Party to which such information or material is to be provided or furnished (i) in the virtual “data room” set up by the MSP Companies in connection with this Agreement, or (ii) by delivery to such Party or its legal counsel via electronic mail or hard copy form.

14.11 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.

14.12 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 9.4, no provision of this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules) is intended to confer, or confers, upon any Person other than the Parties any rights, benefits or remedies hereunder. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in accordance with Section 14.2 without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties. Consequently, Persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

14.13 Reference is made to the Prospectus. The MSP Companies, the Members’ Representative and the Members have read the Prospectus and understand that Purchaser has established the Trust Account for the benefit of the Public Stockholders of Purchaser 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, Purchaser may disburse monies from the Trust Account only for the purposes set forth in the Trust Agreement. For and in consideration of Purchaser agreeing to enter into this Agreement, the MSP Companies and the Members hereby agree that they do not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and hereby agree that they will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any claim they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Purchaser.

14.14 Members’ Representative.

(a) The Members’ Representative is hereby appointed as agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for each Member for all purposes of this Agreement and the Additional Agreements, including the full power and authority on each such Member’s behalf (i) to give and receive notices and communications to or by Parent or Purchaser for any purpose under this Agreement and the Additional Agreements; (ii) to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of and demand mediation and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to any indemnification claims (including Third-Party Claims) under Article XI or other disputes arising under or related to this Agreement or the Additional Agreements; (iii) to enter into and deliver the Escrow Agreement on behalf of each of the Members and to disburse any funds or Equity Consideration received hereunder or pursuant to the Escrow Agreement; (iv) to authorize or object to delivery to Parent of the Escrow Fund, or any portion thereof, in satisfaction of indemnification claims by Parent in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement; (v) to act on behalf of Members in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and the Additional Agreements, the securities described herein and any other document or instrument executed in connection with the Agreement and the Acquisition; (vi) to endorse and deliver any certificates or instruments of assignment as Parent or Purchaser shall reasonably request; (vii) to execute and deliver on behalf of each such Member any amendment, waiver, ancillary agreement and documents on behalf of any Member that the Members’ Representative deems necessary or appropriate; and (viii) to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Members’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which the Members collectively are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement.

(b) Such agency may be changed by the Members from time to time upon no less than twenty (20) days prior written notice to Parent, provided, however, that the Members’ Representative may not be removed unless holders of at least 51% of all of the Interests outstanding immediately prior to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement agrees to such removal. Any vacancy in the position of Members’ Representative may be filled by approval of the holders of at least 51% of all of the Interests outstanding immediately prior to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Any removal or change of the Members’ Representative shall not be effective until written notice is delivered to Purchaser. No bond shall be required of the Members’ Representative, and the Members’ Representative shall not receive any compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Members’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Members.

(c) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Members’ Representative (in his capacity as such) shall, for all purposes hereunder, constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction of all of the Members and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of the Members. In connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any instrument, agreement or document relating hereto or thereto, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Members’ Representative hereunder (i) the Members’ Representative shall incur no responsibility whatsoever to any Members by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or in connection with the Escrow Agreement or any such other agreement, instrument or document, excepting only responsibility for any act or failure to act which represents willful misconduct, and (ii) the Members’ Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Members’ Representative pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Members’ Representative to liability to any Members. Each Member shall severally (in accordance with their ownership percentages in the MSP Companies as set forth on Schedule 2.1(b)), and not jointly, indemnify the Members’ Representative, against all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other experts’ fees and the amount of any judgment against them, of any nature whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all expense whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened or any claims whatsoever) (“Members’ Representative Losses”), arising out of or in connection with any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Members’ Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement (including any claim, investigation, challenge, action or proceeding or in connection with any appeal thereof, relating to the acts or omissions of the Members’ Representative hereunder, or under the Escrow Agreement or otherwise), in each case as such Members’ Representative Loss is incurred or suffered. If not paid directly to the Members’ Representative by the Members, any such Members’ Representative Loss may be recovered by the Members’ Representative from the Escrow Fund otherwise distributable to the Members pursuant to the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement at the time of distribution in accordance with written instructions delivered by the Members’ Representative to the Escrow Agent; provided that while this section allows the Members’ Representative to be paid from the Escrow Fund, this does not relieve the Members from their obligation to promptly pay such Members’ Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Members’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 14.14 to the contrary, the Members’ Representative (in his capacity as such) shall have no obligation or authority with respect to any indemnification claims against a Member made by a Parent Indemnitee under Section 11.1, other than with respect to its obligation and authority to deliver to the Escrow Agent certain joint written instructions and certificates under the Escrow Agreement effecting a release of the Escrow Consideration in satisfaction of Third-Party Claims and Direct Claims.

14.15 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) or any Additional Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.1 or Section 13.2, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or any Additional Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. 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 or any Additional Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement in accordance with this Section 14.15 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or the other provisions of this Agreement, Parent acknowledges and agrees that the MSP Companies may, without breach of this Agreement, (1) with respect to any Additional Agreement to which any MSP Company is a party or a third party beneficiary thereof, institute or pursue an Action directly against the counterparty(ies) to such Additional Agreement seeking, or seek or obtain a court order against the counterparty(ies) to such Additional Agreement for, injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief with respect to such Additional Agreement, (2) with respect to any Additional Agreement to which the MSP Companies are not a party or a third party beneficiary thereof, be entitled, upon written notice to Parent, to: (a) require Parent to enforce its rights under any such Additional Agreement through the initiation and pursuit of litigation (including seeking, or seek or obtain a court order against the counterparty(ies) to such Additional Agreement for, injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief with respect to such Additional Agreement) in the event the counterparty under such Additional Agreement is in breach of its obligations thereunder, (b) have approval rights over Parent’s selection of counsel for any such litigation (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (c) select a separate counsel, which may be or include Counsel, to participate alongside Parent’s counsel in any such litigation (at the expense of the MSP Companies); provided that such separate counsel shall not be entitled to control or seek court orders on Parent’s behalf, and/or (d) fund any such litigation and (3) require Parent to promptly execute, and Parent hereby agrees to execute and comply with, any and all documents designed to implement or facilitate the execution of the rights contemplated in this sentence.
