The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and LIVK, as applicable, does not, and the performance by the Company and LIVK, as applicable, of its obligations hereunder will not, (i) result in a violation of applicable Law, except for such violations which would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect upon such party’s ability to perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) conflict with or result in a violation of the governing documents of the Company or LIVK, as applicable, or (iii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action (including notice of payment or any filing with any Governmental Authority) that has not been taken by any Person, except where the failure to obtain such consents or to take such actions would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect upon such party’s ability to perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. There is no beneficiary or holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which the Company or LIVK, as applicable is a trustee whose consent is required for either the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the party of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that has not been obtained.
11
Section 10. No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in LIVK or any of its Subsidiaries any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Company Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Company Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Equityholder, and neither LIVK nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any authority to direct the Equityholder in the voting or disposition of any of the Company Shares, except as otherwise provided herein.
Section 11. Confidentiality.
(a) The Equityholder will not, and will cause its Representatives to not, disclose or use at any time, any Confidential Information of which the Equityholder or such Representative, as applicable, is or becomes aware, whether or not such information is developed by the Equityholder or any of its Representatives, except to the extent that such disclosure or use is directly related to and required by the Equityholder’s or its Representatives’ performance in good faith of duties assigned to the Equityholder or its Representatives by the Company, LIVK or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The Equityholder and its Representatives will take all appropriate steps to safeguard Confidential Information in its possession and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information to the extent necessary in connection with the defense of any Action involving the Equityholder or its Representatives (provided, that the Equityholder or such Representative, as applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that confidential treatment is afforded to such Confidential Information). The obligations in this Section 11 will not (x) prohibit the Equityholder from disclosing Confidential Information to its Representatives who have a reasonable need to know such information in connection with their role as a Representative of the Equityholder or (y) apply to any Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed by the Equityholder or its Representatives pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, order of any administrative body or court of competent jurisdiction or other legal process; provided that (i) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company, LIVK or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, is given reasonable prior written notice, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Equityholder cooperates (and causes its Representatives to cooperate) with any reasonable request of the Company, LIVK or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, to seek to prevent or narrow such disclosure and (iii) if after compliance with clauses (i) and (ii) such disclosure is still required, the Equityholder and its Representatives only disclose such portion of the Confidential Information that is expressly required by such legal process, as such requirement may be subsequently narrowed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstance will the Equityholder or any of its Representatives be authorized to disclose any information covered by attorney-client privilege or attorney work product of the Company, LIVK or any of their respective Subsidiaries without prior written consent of the Company’s (or following the Closing, Surviving Pubco’s) General Counsel or other officer designated by the Company (or, following the Closing, the Surviving Pubco).
12
(b) For purposes of this Agreement the term “Confidential Information” shall mean all material and information that is not generally known to the public (but for purposes of clarity, Confidential Information shall never exclude any such information that becomes known to the public because of the Equityholder’s or its Representatives’ unauthorized disclosure) obtained by the Equityholder prior to the end of the Restricted Period and relating to the business, affairs and assets of the Company, LIVK or any of their respective Subsidiaries, regardless of whether such material and information is maintained in physical, electronic, or other form, including without limitation any of the following with respect to the Company, LIVK or any of their respective Subsidiaries (A) business, operating or strategic plans, (B) products or services, (C) fees, costs and pricing structures, (D) designs, (E) analyses, (F) drawings, photographs and reports, (G) computer software, including operating systems, applications and program listings, (H) flow charts, manuals and documentation, (I) databases, (J) accounting and business methods, (K) inventions, devices, new developments, methods and processes, whether patentable or unpatentable and whether or not reduced to practice, (L) customers and clients and customer or client lists, (M) other copyrightable works, (N) all production methods, processes, technology and trade secrets, and (O) all similar and related information in whatever form. Confidential Information also includes information disclosed to the Company, LIVK or any of their respective Subsidiaries by third parties to the extent that such party has an obligation of confidentiality in connection therewith. Confidential Information will not include any information that has been published in a form generally available to the public (except as a result of the Equityholder’s or its Representatives’ unauthorized disclosure) prior to the date the Equityholder proposes to disclose or use such information. Confidential Information will not be deemed to have been published or otherwise disclosed merely because individual portions of the information have been separately published, but only if all material features comprising such information have been published in combination.
Section 12. Remedies. The Equityholder acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the business and interests of the Company, LIVK, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates and that any breach of these covenants would cause substantial irreparable injury. Accordingly, the Equityholder agrees that a remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement would be inadequate and that the Company, LIVK, their Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates, in addition to any other remedies available, shall be entitled to obtain preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to secure specific performance of such covenants and to prevent a breach or contemplated breach of this Agreement without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting a bond or other security. The Equityholder will be responsible for any breach or violation of this Agreement by its Representatives. The occurrence of the Closing will not relieve the Equityholder of any obligation or liability arising from any breach by the Equityholder of this Agreement prior to the Closing.
13
Section 13. Severability. Each provision of this Agreement is separable from every other provision of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is found or held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, by a court of competent jurisdiction, then (i) such provision will be deemed amended to conform to applicable laws so as to be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest possible extent, (ii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of such provision will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision under any other circumstances or in any other jurisdiction, and (iii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of such provision will not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the remainder of such provision or the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, if any covenant of the Equityholder in this Agreement is held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, such covenant shall be considered to be divisible with respect to scope, time and geographic area, and such lesser scope, time or geographic area, or all of them, as a court of competent jurisdiction may determine to be reasonable, not arbitrary, and not against public policy, shall be effective, binding and enforceable against the Equityholder.
Section 14. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Section 1.02, Section 12.07 and Section 12.13 of the Merger Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.
Section 15. Waiver. No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Any extension or waiver in favor of the Equityholder of any provision hereto shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by LIVK and the Company; and provided, that any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
Section 16. Headings; Interpretation; Counterparts. The provisions of Section 13.08 of the Merger Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.
Section 17. Trust Account Waiver. The Equityholder acknowledges that LIVK is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a Business Combination. The Equityholder further acknowledges that, as described in the prospectus dated December 10, 2019 (the “Prospectus”), substantially all of LIVK’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of LIVK’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of LIVK, certain of its public shareholders and the underwriters of LIVK’s initial public offering. The Equityholder acknowledges that it has been advised by LIVK that, except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to LIVK to pay its income and franchise Taxes, the Trust Agreement provides that cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only (i) if LIVK completes the transactions which constitute a Business Combination, then to those Persons and in such amounts as described in the Prospectus; and (ii) if LIVK fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period and liquidates, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement and the LIVK Governing Document, to LIVK to permit LIVK to pay the costs and expenses of its dissolution, and then to LIVK’s public shareholders. For and in consideration of LIVK entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Equityholder hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they have or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agree not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, contracts or agreements with LIVK or any other Person; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 17 shall amend, limit, alter, change, supersede or otherwise modify the right of the Equityholder to (A) bring any action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief or (B) bring or seek a claim for Damages against LIVK, or any of its successors or assigns, for any breach of this Agreement (but such claim shall not be against the Trust Account or any funds distributed from the Trust Account to holders of LIVK Ordinary Shares in accordance with the LIVK Governing Document and the Trust Agreement).
14
Section 18. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that the Company, LIVK or any of their respective Subsidiaries may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to (i) one or more of its Affiliates at any time and (ii) after the Effective Time, to any Person; provided that no such transfer or assignment shall relieve such party of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other Party.
Section 19. Trusts. If applicable, for purposes of this Agreement, the Equityholder with respect to any Subject Securities held in trust shall be deemed to be the relevant trust and/or the trustees thereof acting in their capacities as such trustees, in each case as the context may require, including for purposes of such trustees’ representations and warranties as to the proper organization of the trust, their power and authority as trustees and the non-contravention of the trust’s governing instruments.
Section 20. Amendments. This Agreement may only be amended or modified by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Equityholder, LIVK and the Company.
15

This Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof and shall automatically terminate (without the requirement of any action by any party hereto) and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time (except that the provisions of Sections 2, 4 and 6 shall survive the Effective Time and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms), (b) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Effective Time, (c) the mutual written consent of LIVK, the Company and the Equityholder, and (d) the time at which the Equityholder delivers a written notice of termination to the other parties hereto within three business days of becoming aware of any modification, amendment or waiver of the Merger Agreement without Equityholder’s prior written consent that (i) decreases or changes the form of the Merger Consideration in a manner adverse to the Equityholder, (ii) imposes additional conditions to the obligations of the parties to the Merger Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby in a manner that materially adversely affects the Equityholder, (iii) modifies the conditions of the obligations of the parties to the Merger Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby in a manner that materially adversely affects the Equityholder or (iv) extends or otherwise changes the Termination Date in a manner other than as required or permitted by the Merger Agreement. Nothing in this Section 22 shall relieve any Party from liability for any intentional breach of this Agreement by such Party prior to the termination of this Agreement.
Section 23. Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense.
Section 24. Capacity as Equityholder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Equityholder is signing this Agreement solely in the Equityholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and not in any other capacity and this Agreement shall not limit or otherwise affect the actions of the Equityholder or any Affiliate, employee or designee of the Equityholder or any of their respective Affiliates in his or her capacity, if applicable, as an officer or director of the Company or any other entity.
