Section 5.3 Non-Contravention; Governmental Approvals. No notices to, filings with, or authorizations, consents or approvals of any Governmental Entity are necessary for the execution or delivery by the Investor of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents to which the Sponsor is a party, the New Partnership Agreement or the consummation by the Investor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Ancillary Documents, except for those that would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing. Neither the execution or delivery by the Investor of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents to which it is a party or the New Partnership Agreement nor the consummation by the Investor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such Ancillary Documents will (a) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of the Investor’s Organizational Documents, (b) result in a violation or breach of, or cause acceleration, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any material Contract to which the Investor is a party or (c) violate any applicable Order or Law of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Investor, except, in the case of any of clauses (b) through (c), as would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing.

There are no Actions pending or, to Investor’s knowledge, threatened against Investor in writing in which it is sought to restrain or prohibit or to obtain damages or other relief in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Investor is not subject to or bound by any outstanding Order that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing.

Section 5.5 Investment Purpose. The Investor is acquiring a partnership interest in the Sponsor for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”); provided, however, that by making the representations in this Section 5.5, the Investor reserves the right to dispose of all or part of such partnership interest at any time in accordance with or pursuant to an available exemption under the Securities Act. The Investor acknowledges that such partnership interest has not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Law.

Section 5.6 [Reserved.].

Section 5.7 Reliance on Exemptions. The Investor understands that the partnership interest in the Sponsor is being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities Laws and that the SPAC and Sponsor are relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Investor’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Investor set forth in this Article V in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Investor to acquire such partnership interest.

Section 5.8 Information; Risk. The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the SPAC and Sponsor and other information the Investor deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of a partnership interest in the Sponsor, which have been requested by the Investor and has been afforded: (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the SPAC and Sponsor concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the partnership interest and the merits and risks of investing in the partnership interest; (ii) access to information about each of the SPAC and Sponsor and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that each of the SPAC and Sponsor possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. The Investor has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in investing, business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in such partnership interest and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of such partnership interest. Without limiting the foregoing, the Investor has carefully considered the potential risks relating to each of the SPAC and Sponsor and a purchase of such partnership interest, and fully understands that the partnership interest is a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Investor’s entire investment and the Investor is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the partnership interest and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

Section 5.9 Brokers and Finders. There is no Person acting on behalf of the Investor who is entitled to or has any claim for any financial advisory, brokerage or finder’s fee or commission in connection with the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby for which the SPAC or the Sponsor would be liable prior to Closing.

Section 9.9 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement (including any of the closing deliverables contemplated hereby) and each Ancillary Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 9.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any Person any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, and no Person that is not a Party (including any director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, controlling Person, manager, member, general partner, limited partner, principal or other agent of any Party, in its own capacity as such or in bringing a derivative action on behalf of such Party), shall have standing as third-party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 9.11 Enforcement of Agreement. 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 seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in each case without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, to the extent such court shall decline to accept, any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware), this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties are entitled at Law or in equity. Additionally, each Party irrevocably waives any defenses based on adequacy of any other remedy, whether at Law or in equity, that might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance of any of the terms or provisions hereof or injunctive relief in any action brought therefor.

Section 9.13 No Strict Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.14 Trust Account. The Investor understands that, as described in the final prospectus of the SPAC, dated as of November 3, 2021 and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 333-260261) on November 4, 2021 (the “Prospectus”), the SPAC has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO and the overallotment securities acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by SPAC’s underwriters, the “Public Shareholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their SPAC Class A Shares in connection with the consummation of a business combination transaction or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate a business combination transaction, (b) to the Public Shareholders if SPAC fails to consummate a business combination transaction within eighteen (18) months after the closing of the IPO, subject to extension by an amendment to SPAC’s Governing Documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 in dissolution expenses or (d) to SPAC after or concurrently with the consummation of a business combination transaction. For and in consideration of Sponsor entering into this Agreement and discussions with the Investor regarding the possible transactions contemplated hereby, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Investor hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Investor nor any of its affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). The Investor on behalf of itself and its affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Investor or any of its affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever. The Investor agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Sponsor to induce the SPAC and the Sponsor to enter into this Agreement, and the Investor further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Investor and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.
