NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. | Assignment and Assumption. In accordance with Section 8.2 and Section 9.1 of the Warrant Agreement: |
(a) | DCFC shall be substituted for DCRN in the Warrant Agreement and shall become obligated to perform all of the liabilities, duties and obligations of DCRN under and in respect of the Warrant Agreement. DCFC undertakes full performance of the Warrant Agreement in the place of DCRN and hereby agrees to faithfully and fully perform the Warrant Agreement as if DCFC had been the original party thereto. |
(b) | Computershare shall be substituted for Continental in the Warrant Agreement and shall be vested with the same powers, rights, liabilities, duties, obligations and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as warrant agent under the Warrant Agreement; provided that, in no event shall Computershare be liable for the actions or omissions of Continental under the Warrant Agreement prior to this assignment and assumption. Computershare undertakes full performance of the Warrant Agreement in the place of Continental. |
(c) | Continental and DCRN shall be irrevocably and unconditionally released from their liabilities, duties and obligations under and in respect of the Warrant Agreement, and their respective rights against each other under and in respect of the Warrant Agreement shall be cancelled. |
(d) | DCFC shall owe to Computershare all the rights that were, immediately prior to the assignment and assumption, owed to Continental under and in respect of the Warrant Agreement. |
(e) | Computershare shall perform and discharge all liabilities, duties and obligations under and in respect of the Warrant Agreement and be bound by its terms in every way as if DCFC had been the original party thereto in place of DCRN. |
(f) | DCFC shall perform and discharge all liabilities, duties and obligations under and in respect of the Warrant Agreement and be bound by its terms in every way as if Computershare had been the original party thereto in place of Continental. |
2. | Amendment and Restatement of Warrant Agreement. At the closing of the Business Combination, pursuant to Section 9.8 of the Warrant Agreement, DCFC and Computershare shall enter into the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement to reflect that, effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, each Public Warrant and Private Placement Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase DCFC Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement. |
3. | Release of DCRN and Continental from Liabilities. In consideration of this assignment and assumption, DCRN and Continental shall be released and discharged of all liabilities, duties and obligations to perform under the Warrant Agreement as of the date hereof, and shall be fully relieved of all liability to DCFC or Computershare arising out of the Warrant Agreement. |
4. | Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date. |
5. | Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, as such laws are applied to contracts entered into and performed in such State without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules. |
6. | Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Execution and delivery of this Agreement by email or exchange of facsimile copies bearing the facsimile signature of a party hereto shall constitute a valid and binding execution and delivery of this Agreement by such party. |
