(c) Each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than in respect of (i) any shares of Company Restricted Stock or shares of Company Common Stock subject to Company Options or Company Stock Warrants (in each case, which shall be subject to Section 3.3), (ii) any Treasury Shares and (iii) any Dissenting Shares) shall be entitled to receive (A) a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration equal to (1) the Merger Consideration Per Fully Diluted Share, multiplied by (2) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such holder as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, plus (B) such holder of shares of Company Capital Stock’s Pro Rata Portion of the Aggregate Warrant Consideration, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, with fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share (and no cash settlements shall be made with respect to fractional shares eliminated by rounding).

(d) At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, Initial Surviving Corporation, Second Merger Sub, or the holders of any securities of Acquiror or the Initial Surviving Corporation or the Second Merger Sub: (a) each share of common stock of the Initial Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor; and (b) each membership interest in Second Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable membership interest in the Surviving Entity, which shall constitute the only outstanding equity of the Surviving Entity.

(c) Each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock that have been converted into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) shall be entitled to receive such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), together with a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent.

If any such shares shall not have been transferred immediately prior to such date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article III would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Entity, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 3.3. Treatment of Company Options, Company Stock Warrants and Company Restricted Stock.

(a) As of the First Effective Time, each Company Option and Company Stock Warrant that is then outstanding shall be converted into the right to receive an option or warrant, as applicable, relating to shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such Company Option or Company Stock Warrant, as applicable, immediately prior to the First Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions (each such option, an “Acquiror Option”

and each such warrant, an “Acquiror Stock Warrant”) except that (a) such Acquiror Option or Acquiror Stock Warrant, as applicable, shall relate to that whole number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option or Company Stock Warrant, as applicable, multiplied by the Merger Consideration Per Fully Diluted Share, and (b) the exercise price per share for each such Acquiror Option or Acquiror Stock Warrant, as applicable, shall be equal to the exercise price per share of such Company Option or Company Stock Warrant, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time, divided by the Merger Consideration Per Fully Diluted Share (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full cent); provided, however, that the conversion of the Company Options will be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulations Section 1.424-1, such that such conversion will not constitute a “modification” of such Company Options for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.

(b) As of the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of Company Restricted Stock, each share of Company Restricted Stock that is then outstanding shall be cancelled and converted into a number of shares of restricted Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock (each, “Acquiror Restricted Stock”) equal to the Merger Consideration Per Fully Diluted Share upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such share of Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the First Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions, except that any per share repurchase price of such share of Acquiror Restricted Stock shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the per share repurchase price applicable to the share of Company Restricted Stock by (ii) the Merger Consideration Per Fully Diluted Share, rounded up to the nearest cent.

(c) The Company shall take all necessary actions to (i) effect the treatment of the Company Awards pursuant to Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(b) in accordance with the Company’s Incentive Plans and the applicable award agreements, and (ii) terminate the Company’s Incentive Plans as of the First Effective Time and to ensure no new awards are granted thereunder from and following the First Effective Time (provided that the Company Awards shall remain subject to the terms of the Company’s Incentive Plans except that any references to the Company shall refer to the Acquiror, any references to the Company’s board of directors (or a committee thereof) shall refer to Domesticated Acquiror’s board of directors (or a committee thereof) and any references to Company Common Stock shall refer to Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock).

To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax authority, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 3.5. Dissenting Shares.

The Company shall provide Acquiror prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Capital Stock, any waiver or withdrawal of any such demand, and any other demand, notice, or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the First Effective Time that relates to such demand. Except with the prior written consent of (i) Acquiror (which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied), the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer to settle, any such demands and (ii) the Company (which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied), Acquiror shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer to settle, any such demands.

Section 8.6. [Reserved].

Section 8.7. Extension of Time Period to Consummate a Business Combination.

(a) If Acquiror and the Company determine in good faith by January 1, 2023 that it is probable that the Mergers will be consummated after March 1, 2023, Acquiror shall prepare (with the reasonable cooperation of the Company) and file with the SEC a proxy statement (such proxy statement, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Extension Proxy Statement”) pursuant to which it shall seek the approval of its shareholders for proposals to amend Acquiror’s Organizational Documents to extend the time period for Acquiror to consummate its initial Business Combination for (x) up to an additional six (6) months, from March 2, 2023 to September 2, 2023 or (y) such other period of time as Acquiror and the Company may mutually agree (the “Extension Proposal”). Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Extension Proxy Statement to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and to have the Extension Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as promptly as practicable after such filing. Acquiror shall provide the Company a reasonable opportunity to review the Extension Proxy Statement prior to its filing with the SEC and will consider in good faith the incorporation of any comments thereto provided by the Company.

(b) To the extent not prohibited by Law, Acquiror will advise the Company, reasonably promptly after Acquiror receives notice thereof, of the time when the Extension Proxy Statement or any supplement or amendment has been filed or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Extension Proxy Statement or for additional information. To the extent not prohibited by Law, the Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Extension Proxy Statement each time before any such document is filed with the SEC by Acquiror and Acquiror shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel. To the extent not prohibited by Law, each of Acquiror and the Company shall provide the each other party and their counsel with (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that such party or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Extension Proxy Statement promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response of such party to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with the other parties or their counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC.

(c) Each of Acquiror and the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as reasonably practicable, to furnish the other party with such information as shall be reasonably requested concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, officers, directors, managers, shareholders, stockholders, and other equityholders and information regarding such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable or as may be reasonably requested for inclusion in (including to be incorporated by reference in) or attachment to the Extension Proxy Statement. Each of Acquiror and the Company shall ensure that any information provided by it or on its behalf for inclusion in (including to be incorporated by reference in) or attachment to the Extension Proxy Statement, at the earlier of the date it is filed with the SEC or first mailed to the shareholders of Acquiror, shall be accurate in all material respects and shall not 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, and shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and

regulations promulgated thereunder and in addition shall contain substantially the same financial and other information about the Company and its equityholders as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies.

Each of the Company and Acquiror shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause their and their Subsidiaries’ managers, directors, officers and employees to be reasonably available to Acquiror, the Company and their respective counsel in connection with the drafting of such filings and mailings and responding in a timely manner to comments from the SEC.

(d) Acquiror shall (i) as promptly as practicable after the Extension Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC, (A) cause the Extension Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the shareholders of Acquiror in compliance with applicable Law, (B) duly (x) give notice of and (y) convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Extension Meeting”) in accordance with Acquiror’s Organizational Documents and applicable NYSE listing rules for a date no later than March 1, 2023; provided, that the Extension Meeting shall be scheduled for a date and time such that, after the conclusion of such meeting, Acquiror shall have sufficient time to effectuate the amendment of the Acquiror’s Organizational Documents, and (C) solicit proxies from the holders of Acquiror Ordinary Shares to vote in favor of each of the Extension Proposal, and (ii) provide its shareholders with the opportunity to elect to effect a redemption of shares of Acquiror Ordinary Shares at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account. Acquiror shall, through its Board of Directors or Acquiror Special Committee, recommend to its stockholders the approval of the Extension Proposal, and include such recommendation in the Extension Proxy Statement. Subject to Section 8.2(b)(ii), neither the Board of Directors of Acquiror nor the Acquiror Special Committee shall withdraw, amend, qualify or modify its recommendation to the shareholders of Acquiror that they vote in favor of the Extension Proposal.

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (x) Acquiror agrees to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Extension Meeting and submit for approval the Extension Proposal and (y) Acquiror agrees that if the Extension Proposal shall not have been obtained at any such Extension Meeting, then Acquiror shall promptly continue to take all such necessary actions, including the actions required by this Section 8.7, and hold additional Extension Meetings in order to obtain approval for the Extension Proposal. Acquiror may only adjourn the Extension Meeting (i) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining approval for the Extension Proposal, (ii) for the absence of a quorum, (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that Acquiror has determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel is required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be

disseminated and reviewed by shareholders of Acquiror prior to the Extension Meeting, (iv) to allow reasonable additional time to reduce the number of Acquiror Ordinary Shares as to which the holders thereof have elected to effect a redemption thereof, or (iv) with the prior written consent of the Company; provided, that the Extension Meeting (A) may not be adjourned to a date that is more than ten (10) days after the date for which the Extension Meeting was originally scheduled (excluding any adjournments required by applicable Law) and (B) shall be held no later than March 1, 2023; provided, that following the adjournment, the rescheduled Extension Meeting shall be scheduled for a date and time such that, after the conclusion of such meeting, Acquiror shall have sufficient time to effectuate the amendment of the Acquiror’s Organizational Documents.

(f) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the approval of the Extension Proposal by the requisite holders of Acquiror Ordinary Shares (and in any event, within 2 Business Days thereafter), Acquiror shall file with the applicable Governmental Authority or Authorities the amendment to its Organizational Documents as contemplated by the Extension Proposal and shall deliver to the Company evidence thereof.

For and in consideration of Acquiror entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind it has or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agrees not to seek recourse

against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with Acquiror; provided, that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against Acquiror for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including a claim for Acquiror to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Acquiror Share Redemptions) to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect Acquiror’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Acquiror Share Redemptions, or for actual fraud and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future against Acquiror’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds).

Section 11.7. Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of Laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 11.8. Headings; Counterparts. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 11.9. Company and Acquiror Disclosure Letters. The Company Disclosure Letter and the Acquiror Disclosure Letter (including, in each case, any section thereof) referenced herein are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. Any disclosure made by a party in the applicable Disclosure Letter, or any section thereof, with reference to any section of this Agreement or section of the applicable Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to such other applicable sections of this Agreement or sections of applicable Disclosure Letter if it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is responsive to such other section of this Agreement or section of the applicable Disclosure Letter. Certain information set forth in the Disclosure Letters is included solely for informational purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. The disclosure of any information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality.

100

Section 11.10. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement (together with the Company Disclosure Letter and the Acquiror Disclosure Letter) and (b) the Company Stockholder Support Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreement and the Sponsor Support Agreement (collectively, the “Ancillary Agreements”), constitute the entire agreement among the parties to this Agreement relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the transactions contemplated hereby exist between such parties except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 11.11. Amendments.

Section 11.12. Publicity.

(a) All press releases or other public communications relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall prior to the Closing be subject to the prior mutual approval of Acquiror and the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by any party; provided, that no party shall be required to obtain consent pursuant to this Section 11.12(a) to the extent any proposed release or statement is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section 11.12(a).

(b) The restriction in Section 11.12(a) shall not apply to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities Law, any Governmental Authority or stock exchange rule; provided, however, that in such an event, the party making the announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party in advance as to its form, content and timing. Disclosures resulting from the parties’ efforts to obtain approval or early termination under the HSR Act and to make any relating filing shall be deemed not to violate this Section 11.12.

Section 11.13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.

101

Section 11.14. Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Any proceeding or Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby must be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware), and each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally (i) consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such proceeding or Action, (ii) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, (iii) agrees that all claims in respect of such proceeding or Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court and (iv) agrees not to bring any proceeding or Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by Xxx or to commence Legal Proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any proceeding or Action brought in accordance with this Section 11.14(a).

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY, UNCONDITIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 11.15. Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage could 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.

(b) except to the extent a party hereto (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such party hereto), (i) no past, present or future director,

102

officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of the Company, Acquiror, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub and (ii) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, shall have any liability (whether in Contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Company, Acquiror, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub under this Agreement or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 11.17. Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Except (a) as otherwise contemplated by Section 10.2 or (b) in the case of claims against a Person in respect of such Person’s actual fraud, all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and other provisions, shall not survive the Closing and shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the First Effective Time (and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect thereof), except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained herein or therein that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part after the Closing and then only with respect to any breaches occurring after the Closing and (b) this Article XI.
