Each Equity Holder hereby agrees to promptly execute and deliver all additional agreements, documents or instruments, take, or cause to be taken, all actions and provide, or cause to be provided, all additional information or other materials as may be necessary or advisable, in each case, as reasonably determined by XPAC and the Company, in connection with, or otherwise in furtherance of, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or this Agreement.

1.9 Transfers of Equity Interests and Newco Shares Prior to the Acquisition Closing. Except as expressly contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or this Agreement or with the prior written consent of XPAC (such consent to be given or withheld in its sole discretion), from and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Acquisition Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Equity Holder agrees not to Transfer any of the Equity Interests or Newco Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein:
(a) the foregoing restrictions shall not prohibit a Transfer (i) to the Equity Holder’s directors or officers, any affiliates or family members of the Equity Holder’s directors or officers, any direct or indirect members or shareholders of the Equity Holder or any affiliates of the Equity Holder; (ii) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family, or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization; (iii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (iv) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (v) in the case of a trust, by distribution to one or more of the permissible beneficiaries of such trust; (vi) by private sales or Transfers made in connection with the Acquisition Closing at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (vii) in the event of the Equity Holder’s liquidation prior to the Acquisition Closing; (viii) by virtue of the laws of the Equity Holder’s jurisdiction of incorporation or formation or the Equity Holder’s Organizational Documents, upon dissolution of the Equity Holder; (ix) to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the Equity Holder or its affiliates or who shares a common investment advisor with the Equity Holder; and (x) to a nominee or custodian holding securities on behalf of a beneficial owner to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under this clause (a); provided, however, that (x) that, in the case of clauses (i) through (vi), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to XPAC agreeing to be bound by this Agreement, and (y) no such Transfer will relieve such Equity Holder of any of its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder with respect to the Equity Interests or Newco Shares so transferred, unless and to the extent actually performed, or will otherwise affect any of the provisions of this Agreement (including any of the representations and warranties of such Equity Holder hereunder). For purposes of this Agreement, (a) “Transfer” shall mean the (i) sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (ii) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii); and (a) “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the applicable party hereto; and (c) “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and

Article II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE EQUITY HOLDERS
2.1 Each Equity Holder hereby represents and warrants to Newco, XPAC and PubCo, severally but not jointly, that:
(a) Title.

(c) No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Equity Holder, nor the performance of the Equity Holder’s obligations hereunder (i) violates any provision of any Law applicable to the Equity Holder, (ii) if the Equity Holder is not an individual, would, directly or indirectly, result in any breach of any provision of the Equity Holder’s Organizational Documents, (iii) conflicts with, result in a breach under or give rise to any right of termination of any document, agreement or instrument to which the Equity Holder is a party, or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, pledge, security interest, conditional sale or other title retention agreement, encumbrance, lien, easement, option, debt, charge, claim or restriction of any kind upon the Equity Interests.

The Equity Holder has the sole right to vote (and provide consent in respect of, as applicable) the Equity Interests set forth next to the Equity Holder’s name on Schedule A and, except for this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Shareholders’ Agreements and as disclosed on Schedule A, the Equity Holder is not party to or bound by (i) any option, warrant, purchase right, or other Contract that could (either alone or in connection with one or more events, developments or events (including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent)) require the Equity Holder to Transfer any of the Equity Interests or (ii) any voting trust, proxy or other Contract with respect to the voting or Transfer of any of the Equity Interests.
(f) No Action. There is no Action pending or, to the Equity Holder’s knowledge, threatened in writing against or involving the Equity Holder or any of his, her or its Affiliates that, if adversely decided or resolved, would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of the Equity Holder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
(g) No Governmental Order or Law. There is no Governmental Order or Law issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority, or other legal restraint or prohibition relating to the Equity Holder or any of his, her or its Affiliates that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of the Equity Holder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
