Covenant Against Competition During the period of Participant’s employment and for two (2) years after his or her Last Day of Employment, Participant acknowledges and agrees he or she will not, directly or indirectly, establish or engage in any business or organization, or own or control any interest in, be employed by, or act as an officer, director, consultant, advisor, or lender to, any of the following located in those geographic markets where Participant has had direct and substantial involvement in Company’s operations in such geographic markets: (a) any entity that engages in any business competitive with the business activities of Company including, without limitation, its assisted and digital (including software) tax services businesses (“Prohibited Companies”); (b) any financial institution or business where any of Participant’s duties or activities would relate to or assist in providing services or products to one or more of the Prohibited Companies for use in connection with products, services or assistance being provided to customers; or (c) any financial institution or business whose primary purpose is to provide services or products to one or more of the Prohibited Companies for use in connection with products, services or assistance being provided to customers. Without limiting clause (c), any financial institution or business whose profits or revenues from the provision of services or products to the Prohibited Companies exceeds 25% of total profits or revenues, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be covered by clause (c). For Participants whose primary place of employment as of the Last Day of Employment is in Puerto Rico or Arizona, the restrictions in this Section 2.2 shall be limited to one (1) year following Participant’s Last Day of Employment. The restrictions in this Section 2.2 shall not apply if Participant’s primary place of employment as of the Last Day of Employment is in California or North Dakota; provided, however, to the extent permitted under such states’ laws, Company nevertheless retains all rights and remedies set forth in Sections 2.8 and 2.9 in lieu of enforcing the restrictive covenant set forth in this Section 2.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Participant has a standalone employment agreement with Company and such employment agreement includes covenants against competition or non-solicitation of customers, the scope, but not the duration, of such covenants shall apply solely for purposes of Sections 2.2 and 2.4, but shall have no other effect on this Award Agreement. All other covenants contained in this Section 2 shall apply to Participant notwithstanding any covenants or other terms contained in any other agreement.

During the Restriction Period the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, control or participate in the ownership, management, or control of, or be employed or engaged by or otherwise affiliated or associated with, in an executive, senior management, strategic or professional capacity, whether as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director or in any other individual or representative capacity, that is similar to an engagement in an executive, senior management, strategic or professional capacity although otherwise named in any business or venture engaged in the Business; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Executive may own or participate in the ownership of any entity which the Executive owned or managed or participated in the ownership or management of prior to the Effective Date, which ownership, management or participation has been disclosed to the Board; (ii) the Executive may invest in securities of any entity, solely for investment purposes and without participating in the business thereof, if (A) such securities are traded on any national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System or equivalent non-U.S. securities exchange, (B) the Executive is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such entity and (C) the Executive does not, directly or indirectly, own two percent (2%) or more of any class of securities of such entity; (iii) the Executive may own or participate in the ownership of the Second City private equity funds including Second City Capital Partners II, Limited Partnership, Second City Real Estate II, Limited Partnership, SC Principals Limited Partnership as well as their respective general partners, related companies and future Second City fund vehicle, which ownership, management or participation has been disclosed to the Board; and (iv) the Executive may, directly or indirectly, invest in commercial real estate or other assets so long as they are not Suitable Properties (as defined in Section 15(a)), and the Executive may own or participate in the ownership of Suitable Properties if such opportunity has been first provided to the Company and the Company has declined to acquire it in writing, providing that such ownership, management or participation has been disclosed to the Board. Further, the covenant against competition described herein shall not apply to the Executive with respect to any business or venture that competes with a New Business to the extent that the Executive’s actions or participation occurred before the Company became engaged in the New Business.
Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.
Waiver of Claims Against Trust Reference is made to the final prospectus of the Company, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on October 24, 2018 (the “Prospectus”). Buyer warrants and represents that it has read the Prospectus and understands that the Company has established a trust account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (“IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (collectively, with interest accrued from time to time thereon, the “Trust Fund”) initially in an amount of $100,000,000 for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders (“Public Shareholders”) and certain parties (including the underwriters of the IPO) and that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Fund, the Company may disburse monies from the Trust Fund only: (i) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem ordinary shares of the Company in connection with the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination, (ii) to the Public Shareholders if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the applicable time period, (iii) any amounts necessary to pay any taxes and for working capital purposes from the interest accrued in the Trust Fund or (iv) to the Company after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of the Company entering into entering into this agreement with Buyer, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Buyer hereby agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Fund or distributions thereform, or make any claim against, the Trust Fund, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, any proposed or actual business relationship between the Company and Buyer, 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 (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Claims”). Buyer hereby irrevocably waives any Claims it may have against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, for an alleged breach of this Agreement). Buyer agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Company to induce it to enter in this Agreement, and Buyer further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable under applicable law.
Indemnity Against Claims The Company will pay and discharge and will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer from (a) any lien or charge upon payments by the Company hereunder, (b) any taxes, assessments, impositions, and other charges upon payments by the Company to the Issuer hereunder, and (c) any and all liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses arising out of or resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Indenture, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel. If any such lien or charge is sought to be imposed upon payments, or any such taxes, assessments, impositions, or other charges are sought to be imposed, or any such liability, damages, costs, and expenses are sought to be imposed, the Issuer will give prompt notice to the Company, and the Company shall have the sole right and duty to assume, and will assume, the defense thereof, with full power to litigate, compromise or settle the same in its sole discretion.
COVENANT AGAINST LIENS Tenant shall keep the Project and Premises free from any liens or encumbrances arising out of the work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or on behalf of Tenant, and shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, judgments or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of same or in connection therewith. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least twenty (20) days prior to the commencement of any such work on the Premises (or such additional time as may be necessary under applicable laws) to afford Landlord the opportunity of posting and recording appropriate notices of non-responsibility. Tenant shall remove any such lien or encumbrance by bond or otherwise within ten (10) business days after notice by Landlord, and if Tenant shall fail to do so, Landlord may pay the amount necessary to remove such lien or encumbrance, without being responsible for investigating the validity thereof. The amount so paid shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease payable upon demand, without limitation as to other remedies available to Landlord under this Lease. Nothing contained in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to do any act which shall subject Landlord’s title to the Building or Premises to any liens or encumbrances whether claimed by operation of law or express or implied contract. Any claim to a lien or encumbrance upon the Building or Premises arising in connection with any such work or respecting the Premises not performed by or at the request of Landlord shall be null and void, or at Landlord’s option shall attach only against Tenant’s interest in the Premises and shall in all respects be subordinate to Landlord’s title to the Project, Building and Premises.
