(i) if such Holder is a natural person, such person has all the requisite power and authority and has taken all action necessary in order to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform his or her obligations hereunder, and (ii) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, formed, organized or constituted, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such person’s corporate, limited liability company or organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or organizational actions on the part of such person. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Holder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties to this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of each Holder, enforceable against each Holder in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity).

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by each Holder does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will not, constitute or result in, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) of or a default under, the loss of any benefit under, the creation, modification or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of a Lien on any of the properties, rights or assets of each Holder pursuant to any Contracts binding upon any Holder or under any applicable Law to which each Holder is subject. Each Holder’s Covered Securities are the only Securities in the Company owned of record or beneficially by such Holder on the date of this Agreement, and none of such Holder’s Covered Securities are subject to any proxy, voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of such Covered Securities, except as provided hereunder.
(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Holder does not, and the performance by each Holder of its obligations hereunder and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will not, (i) conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Holder that is not a natural person or (ii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any person (including under any Contract binding upon such Holder or such Holder’s Covered Securities), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Holder of its, his or her obligations under this Agreement.
(d) Litigation. There is no action, proceeding or investigation pending against any Holder or, to the knowledge of any Holder, threatened against any Holder that questions the beneficial or record ownership of the Holder’s Owned Securities, the validity of this Agreement or which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by each Holder of its, his or her obligations under this Agreement.
(e) Acknowledgment. Each Holder understands and acknowledges that each of SPAC and the Company is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such Holder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.
(f) Each Holder has had adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company and the Merger to make an informed decision regarding this Agreement and has independently and without reliance upon the company or SPAC and based on such information as each Holder has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. The Holder acknowledges that the Company and SPAC have not made and do not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
MISCELLANEOUS
3.01 Termination. This Agreement and all of its provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the Effective Time and (c) the written agreement of each Holder and the Company. Upon such termination of this Agreement, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, without any liability or other obligation on the part of any party hereto to any person in respect hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no party hereto shall have any claim against another (and no person shall have any rights against such party), whether under contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party hereto from liability arising in respect of any willful breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. This ARTICLE III shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
3.02 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Sections 9.6 (Governing Law) and 9.7 (Waiver of Jury Trial) of the Merger Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.
3.03 Entire Agreement; Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise) by any party without the prior express written consent of the other parties hereto. SPAC is expressly made a third party beneficiary of this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce this Agreement in the same manner as if SPAC were a party hereto.
3.04 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any other court of the United States, the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction that has jurisdiction over the relevant Holder or Holders, without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement.

3.05 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, changed, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified or terminated, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by the Company and the Holder or Holders affected thereby, it being agreed that the Company shall not consent to any amendment, change, waiver, modification or termination of this Agreement without the prior written consent of SPAC.
3.06 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
