32
otherwise), then the Company Shares held by such Company Dissenting Shareholder (A) shall no longer be deemed to be Company Dissenting Shares and (B) shall be treated as if they had been converted automatically at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(g) upon delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other documents or agreements required by the Letter of Transmittal) and the surrender of the applicable documents and other deliverables set forth in Section 2.5(d).

The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of ENVI (which Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), settle, or make any payment, or deliver any consideration, with respect to, any such demand.

Section 5.5 Tax Matters.
(a) Tax Treatment.
(i) The Parties intend that the Merger shall constitute a transaction treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to so qualify (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this Section 5.5(a)(i) shall be interpreted to require any party to modify the economic terms of the business combination contemplated by this Agreement or take similar actions). To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Parties shall file all Tax Returns consistent with and take no position inconsistent with (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) the Intended Tax Treatment, unless required to do so pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Each of the Parties agrees to (x) promptly notify all other Parties of any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental Entity, and (y) reasonably cooperate with each other and their respective counsel to document and provide factual support for the Intended Tax Treatment, including by reasonably cooperating to provide factual support and customary representation letters.
(ii) The Parties hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). The Parties shall not, and shall not permit or cause their respective Affiliates to, take any action not contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, or knowingly fail to take any action required by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, which action or failure to act prevents or impedes, or would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing if, before the Closing Date, such Party knows or has reason to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Merger may not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment (and whether the terms of this Agreement could be reasonably amended in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 5.5(a)(i) in order to facilitate the Merger qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment). If, after the date hereof but prior to the Closing Date, the Company and ENVI mutually determine (acting reasonably and in good faith) that the Merger is not expected to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the parties to this Agreement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to restructure the transactions contemplated hereby (such restructured transactions, the “Alternative Transaction Structure”) in a manner that is reasonably expected to cause the Alternative Transaction Structure to so qualify, including, if applicable, with respect to the Merger, by adding a merger to take place immediately after the Merger whereby the Surviving Company in the Merger would merge with and into ENVI or a wholly owned Subsidiary of ENVI that is a limited liability company disregarded as separate from ENVI for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with the new wholly owned Subsidiary of ENVI being the surviving company in such merger. If, in connection with the preparation and filing of the Xxxxxxxxxxxx
00
Xxxxxxxxx /Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, the SEC requests or requires that a tax opinion be prepared and submitted in connection therewith with respect to the qualification of the Merger as a reorganization and/or the consequences of the transactions contemplated hereby to the holders of securities of the Company, then Xxxxx Xxxx LLP or other counsel to the Company shall furnish such opinion, subject to customary assumptions and limitations, as requested or required by the SEC with respect to such matters (and in no event will Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP or counsel to ENVI be required to furnish such opinion). The Parties will reasonably cooperate in connection with the provision of any opinions required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including in connection with the provision of customary factual representation letters.
(b) Tax Matters Cooperation. Each of the Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another Party, in connection with the filing of relevant Tax Returns, and any Tax Proceeding. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) making available (with the right to make copies) of records and information reasonably relevant to any Tax Proceeding, making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
(c) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, value added, goods and services, excise, registration and other similar Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) (“Transfer Taxes”) arising in connection with the Merger shall be borne by the Persons responsible for such Taxes under applicable Law. Each Party shall reasonably cooperate in providing any certificates or other documents required to reduce the applicable Transfer Taxes and, if and to the extent required by applicable Law, shall join the other Party(ies) in the execution of any Tax Return in respect thereof.

Section 8.17 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties
107
agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
Section 8.18 Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of ENVI, dated as of January 13, 2021 and filed with the SEC (File Nos. 333-251593 and 333-252093) on January 15, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). The Company acknowledges and agrees and understands that ENVI has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its IPO (including the proceeds of the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of ENVI’s public shareholders (the “Public Shareholders”), and that ENVI may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of ENVI entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Representatives that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Representatives (acting through the Company) does 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 proposed or actual business relationship between ENVI or its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company or its Representatives, on the other hand, 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 “Trust Account Released Claims”). The Company, on behalf of itself and its Representatives (acting through the Company), hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that the Company or any of its Representatives (acting through the Company) may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations or Contracts with ENVI or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with ENVI or its Affiliates), other than for the release of proceeds from the Trust Account upon the consummation of the Merger.
