Efforts to Consummate (a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, each of the Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as reasonably practicable the Transactions (including (i) the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in Article IX and (ii) using reasonable best efforts to obtain PIPE Investments as contemplated by Section 8.04). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain, file with or deliver to, as applicable, any consents of any Governmental Authorities or other Persons necessary to consummate the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements. Each Party shall (A) make all required filings pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) following the Original Agreement Date and (B) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any requests by any Governmental Authority for additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. Acquiror shall promptly inform the Company of any communication between Acquiror, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, and the Company shall promptly inform Acquiror of any communication between either Company, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, in either case, regarding any of the Transactions or any Transaction Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, (x) the Parties agree to request early termination of all waiting periods applicable to the Transactions under the HSR Act, and (y) each Party and its respective Affiliates shall not extend any waiting period, review period or comparable period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority not to consummate the Transactions, except with the prior written consent of the other Parties. The Company will pay all filing fees in connection with the HSR Act when due and such fees shall be deemed 50% Company Transaction Expenses and 50% Acquiror Transaction Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Section 8.01 or any other provision of this Agreement obligates any Party or any of its Affiliates to agree to (i) sell, license or otherwise dispose of, or hold separate and agree to sell, license or otherwise dispose of, any entities or assets of the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any entity or asset of such Party or any of its Affiliates or any other Person or (ii) terminate, amend or assign any existing relationships and contractual rights or obligations. No Party shall agree to any of the measures in the foregoing sentence with respect to any other Party or any of its Affiliates, except with each of the other Parties’ prior written consent. During the Interim Period, Acquiror, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall give counsel for the Company (in the case of Acquiror) or Acquiror (in the case of the Company), a reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions or the Transaction Agreements. Each of the Parties agrees not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions unless it consults with, in the case of Acquiror and the Company, in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, gives, in the case of Acquiror and the Company, or, in the case of either Company or Acquiror, the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (i) if this Section 8.01 conflicts with any other covenant or agreement in this Agreement that is intended to specifically address any subject matter, then such other covenant or agreement shall govern and control solely to the extent of such conflict and (ii) in no event shall Acquiror or the Company be obligated to bear any expense or pay any fee or grant any concession in connection with obtaining any consents, authorizations or approvals pursuant to the terms of any Contract to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is a party.
(c) During the Interim Period, Acquiror, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall each notify the other in writing promptly after learning of any shareholder demands or other shareholder proceedings (including derivative claims) relating to this Agreement, any Transaction Agreements or any matters relating thereto (collectively, the “Transaction Litigation”) commenced against, in the case of Acquiror or any of its Representatives (in their capacity as a representative of Acquiror) or, in the case of the Company, or any respective Representatives of the Company (in their capacity as a representative of the Company). Acquiror and the Company shall each (i) keep the other reasonably informed regarding any Transaction Litigation, (ii) give the other the opportunity to, at its own cost and expense, participate in the defense, settlement and compromise of any such Transaction Litigation and reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with the defense, settlement and compromise of any such Transaction Litigation (subject to a customary joint defense agreement), (iii) consider in good faith the other’s advice with respect to any such Transaction Litigation, and (iv) reasonably cooperate with each other. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquiror shall, subject to and without limiting the covenants and agreements, and the rights of the Company, set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, control the negotiation, defense and settlement of any such Transaction Litigation; provided, however, that in no event shall Acquiror settle or compromise any Transaction Litigation without the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives settle or compromise any Transaction Litigation without Acquiror’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, contained or delayed).
(d) If Acquiror and the Company determine in good faith that it is probable that the Transactions will not be consummated on or before March 12, 2023 (the “Acquiror Termination Date”), then (i) Acquiror shall call a special meeting of its stockholders to be held and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain approval from such stockholders prior to the Acquiror Termination Date of a proposal to amend the Acquiror Organizational Documents to extend the deadline by which Acquiror is required to consummate the Transactions to a date that is no earlier than June 30, 2023 (such proposed extended deadline, the “Extension Date”, and such proposal, the “Extension Proposal”), (ii) Acquiror and the Company shall cooperate with the preparation, filing and mailing of proxy materials to be sent to Acquiror’s stockholders seeking approval of the Extension Proposal in accordance with the same efforts, notice, consent and other cooperation standards applicable to the preparation, filing and mailing of the Proxy Statement, and other related materials and actions, as set forth in Section 8.02, (iii) to the extent required to obtain approval of the Extension Proposal and to cause sufficient funds to be retained in the Trust Account as is reasonably expected to be needed to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 9.01(f), Acquiror shall deposit such additional amount of funds to the Trust Account (which deposit shall be funded by a loan from the Sponsor to Acquiror) necessary to obtain approval of the Extension Proposal in a manner that is expected to cause sufficient funds to be retained in the Trust Account as is reasonably expected to be needed to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 9.01(f), such amount to be determined in good faith by Acquiror after consultation with its advisors, and (iv) and in the event the Extension Proposal is duly approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of the requisite number of Acquiror Common Stock entitled to vote thereon in accordance with the Acquiror Organizational Documents and applicable Law, Acquiror shall promptly thereafter amend the Acquiror Organizational Documents to provide for the extension of the deadline by which Acquiror is required to consummate the Transactions to the Extension Date contemplated by the Extension Proposal. If, following any such approval of the Extension Proposal, Acquiror and the Company determine in good faith that it is probable that the Transactions will not be consummated on or before the Extension Date, Acquiror and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to request and effectuate further amendments to the Acquiror Organizational Documents to provide for additional extensions of the deadline applicable to the consummation of a business combination in accordance with the foregoing sentence.
Agreement as to Efforts to Consummate Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party agrees to use, and to cause its Subsidiaries to use, its reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using its reasonable efforts to lift or rescind any Order adversely affecting its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated herein and to cause to be satisfied the conditions referred to in Article 9; provided, that nothing herein shall preclude either Party from exercising its rights under this Agreement.

Buyer and Seller shall supply as promptly as practicable any additional information or documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and shall take all other actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable (such expiration or termination is hereinafter referred to as “Clearance”).

In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance with the foregoing, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Registration Delay Payments shall be owed to an Investor (other than with respect to a Maintenance Failure resulting from a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the shares of Common Stock on the Principal Market) with respect to any period during which all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities may be sold by such Investor without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable).
