(b) With respect to each of the Regulatory Approvals and any other requests, inquiries, Actions, or other proceedings by or from Governmental Authorities, each of the Company, SPAC, and the Acquisition Entities shall (i) diligently and expeditiously defend and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary clearance, approval, consent, or Regulatory Approval under any applicable Laws prescribed or enforceable by any Governmental Authority for the Transactions and to resolve any objections as may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions; and (ii) cooperate fully with each other in the defense of such matters.

To the extent not prohibited by Law, the Company and the Company Acquisition Entities agree to provide SPAC and its counsel, and SPAC and the SPAC Acquisition Entities agree to provide to the Company and its counsel, the opportunity, to the extent practical, on reasonable advance notice, to participate in any substantive meetings or discussions, either in person or by telephone, between such parties or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, concerning, or in connection with the Transactions.

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, SPAC, the Acquisition Entities and the Company shall prepare, and PubCo shall file with the SEC, a registration statement on Form F-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, and including the Proxy Statement, the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) relating to the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting (1) to approve and adopt: (A) the Business Combination, this Agreement, the Plan of Initial Merger, and the other Transaction Documents, the Mergers and the other Transactions; (B) any other proposals as the SEC (or staff member thereof) may indicate are necessary in its comments to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or correspondence related thereto; (C) any other proposals as reasonably agreed by SPAC and the Company to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; and (D) adjournment of the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt any of the foregoing (such proposals in (A) through (D), collectively, the “Transaction Proposals”) and (2) to register under the Securities Act the PubCo Ordinary Shares that constitute the Shareholder Merger Consideration payable to the SPAC Shareholders and the Company Shareholders. SPAC, the Acquisition Entities and the Company each shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to (1) cause the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus when filed with the SEC to comply in all material respects with all Laws applicable thereto and rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, (2) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to and resolve all comments received from the SEC concerning the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, (3) cause the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable, and (4) keep the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Transactions. The Company hereby agrees to cover all of the SEC registration fees solely in connection with the filing of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus with the SEC. Prior to the date on which the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is declared effective, the Company, SPAC and PubCo shall take all or any action required under any applicable federal or state securities Laws in connection with the issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares and the PubCo Warrants pursuant to this Agreement. Each of the Company, SPAC and PubCo also agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the Transactions, and the Company and SPAC shall furnish all information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries (in the case of the Company) or SPAC (in the case of SPAC) and any of their respective members or shareholders as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action. As promptly as practicable after the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is declared effective, SPAC shall mail (or cause to be mailed) the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the SPAC Shareholders. Each of SPAC, PubCo and the Company shall furnish to the other Parties all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, officers, directors, managers, shareholders, and other equityholders and information regarding such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable or as may be reasonably requested in connection with the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of SPAC, PubCo, the Company or their respective Affiliates to any regulatory authority (including the Stock Exchange) in connection with the Transactions.

(ii) Any filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be mutually prepared and agreed upon by SPAC, PubCo, and the Company. PubCo and the Company will advise SPAC, and SPAC will advise PubCo and the Company, as applicable, promptly after receiving notice thereof, of the time when the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order, of the suspension of the qualification of PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued or issuable in connection with this Agreement for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of any request by the SEC for amendment of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information and responses thereto, and shall provide each other with a reasonable opportunity to provide comments and amendments to any such filing. SPAC, PubCo, and the Company shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any response to comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any amendment to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed in response thereto.

(iii) If, at any time prior to the Closing, any event or circumstance relating to SPAC, a SPAC Acquisition Entity or its officers or directors, is discovered by SPAC or a SPAC Acquisition Entity which should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, SPAC shall promptly inform the Company and PubCo. If, at any time prior to the Closing, any event or circumstance relating to the Company, a Company Acquisition Entity, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or their respective officers or directors, is discovered by a Company Acquisition Entity or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Company, or PubCo, as the case may be, shall promptly inform SPAC. Thereafter, SPAC, PubCo and the Company shall promptly cooperate in the preparation and filing of an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus describing or correcting such information and shall promptly file such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminate such amendment or supplement to the SPAC Shareholders.

(b) SPAC Shareholders Approval.

(i) Prior to or as promptly as practicable after the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is declared effective under the Securities Act, SPAC shall establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the SPAC Shareholders (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting”) to be held as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date on which the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is declared effective under the Securities Act for the purpose of voting on the Transaction Proposals and obtaining the SPAC Shareholders Approval (including any adjournment or postponement of such meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement), providing SPAC Shareholders with the opportunity to elect to effect a SPAC Share Redemption and such other matter as may be mutually agreed by SPAC and the Company. SPAC will use its reasonable best efforts to (A) solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the adoption of the Transaction Proposals, including the SPAC Shareholders Approval, and will take all other action necessary or advisable to obtain such proxies and SPAC Shareholders Approval, and (B) to obtain the vote or consent of its shareholders required by and in compliance with all applicable Law, stock exchange rules and the SPAC Articles; provided, that none of SPAC, Sponsor or any of their Affiliates shall be required to pay any additional consideration to any SPAC Shareholder in order to obtain the SPAC Shareholders Approval. SPAC (x) shall consult with the Company regarding the record date and the date of the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting, and (y) shall not adjourn or postpone the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting without the prior written consent of Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that SPAC may adjourn or postpone the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting (1) to the extent necessary to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus that SPAC reasonably determines (following consultation with the Company, except with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal) is necessary to comply with applicable Laws is provided to the SPAC Shareholders in advance of a vote on the approval of entry into this Agreement, (2) if, as of the time that the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient SPAC Shares represented at such meeting (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum, being the holders of a majority of the SPAC Shares, necessary to conduct the business of the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting, or (3) if, as of the time that the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled, adjournment or postponement of the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting is necessary to enable SPAC to solicit additional proxies required to obtain SPAC Shareholders Approval; provided further, that SPAC may adjourn or postpone on only one occasion without the consent of the Company so long as the date of the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting is not adjourned or postponed more than an aggregate of twenty (20) consecutive calendar days in connection with such adjournment or postponement.

(ii) Subject to Section 9.02, the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall include a statement to the effect that SPAC Board has unanimously recommended that the SPAC Shareholders vote in favor of the Transaction Proposals at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting (such statement, the “SPAC Board Recommendation”) and neither the SPAC Board nor any committee thereof shall (A) withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, the SPAC Board Recommendation, or (B) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or publicly propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable, any SPAC Acquisition Proposal (any action described in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), a “Change in Recommendation”); provided, that the SPAC Board may make a Change in Recommendation prior to receipt of the SPAC Shareholders Approval if it determines in good faith that it is required to do so in order to comply with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Laws; provided, further, that even if the SPAC Board makes a Change in Recommendation in accordance with this Section 9.03(b)(ii), SPAC shall comply with its obligations in the first sentence of Section 9.03(b)(i).

(i) Prior to or as promptly as practicable after the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is declared effective under the Securities Act, unless otherwise agreed to by SPAC, the Company shall establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the Company Shareholders (including any adjournment thereof, the “Company Shareholders’ Meeting”) to be held as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date that the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is declared effective under the Securities Act for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholders Approval (including any adjournment of such meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of this Agreement) and such other matter as may be mutually agreed by SPAC and the Company. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (A) solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the Company Shareholders Approval, and (B) obtain the vote or consent of its shareholders required by and in compliance with all applicable Law. The Company (x) shall set the date of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting to be seven (7) days after the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is declared effective unless otherwise agreed to by SPAC, and (y) shall not adjourn the Company Shareholders’ Meeting without the prior written consent of SPAC (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that the Company may adjourn the Company Shareholders’ Meeting (1) if, as of the time that the Company Shareholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient Company Shares represented at such meeting (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, or (2) if, as of the time that the Company Shareholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled, adjournment of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting is necessary to enable the Company to solicit additional proxies required to obtain Company Shareholders Approval; provided further, that for both sub-clauses (1) and (2) in the aggregate the Company may adjourn or postpone on only one occasion without the consent of the SPAC and so long as the date of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting is not adjourned or postponed more than an aggregate of ten (10) consecutive days in connection with such adjournment or postponement.

(ii) The Company shall send meeting materials to the Company Shareholders entitled to receive notice of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting which shall seek the Company Shareholders Approval and shall include in all such meeting materials it sends to such Company Shareholders in connection with the Company Shareholders’ Meeting a statement to the effect that the Company Board has unanimously recommended that such Company Shareholders vote in favor of the Company Shareholders Approval (such statement, the “Company Board Recommendation”) and neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, the Company Board Recommendation.

Section 9.04 Support of Transaction. Without limiting any covenant in Article VII or Article VIII, each of the Company and the SPAC shall, and the Company shall cause the other Group Companies and the Company Acquisition Entities to, and SPAC shall cause the SPAC Acquisition Entities to, (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all material consents and approvals of third parties that the Group Companies or the Company Acquisition Entities and SPAC or the SPAC Acquisition Entities, as applicable, are required to obtain in order to consummate the Transactions, (b) take such other action as may be reasonably necessary or as another Party may reasonably request to satisfy the conditions of Article X or otherwise to comply with this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable; provided, that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require any of the Group Companies, SPAC or any Acquisition Entity or any of their respective Affiliates to (i) commence or threaten to commence, pursue or defend against any Action, whether judicial or administrative, (ii) seek to have any stay or Governmental Order vacated or reversed, (iii) propose, negotiate, commit to or effect by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, licensing or disposition of any assets or businesses of PubCo, any Group Company or SPAC, (iv) take or commit to take actions that limit the freedom of action of any of PubCo, the Group Companies or SPAC with respect to, or the ability to retain, control or operate, or to exert full rights of ownership in respect of, any of the businesses, product lines or assets of PubCo, any Group Company or SPAC, or (v) grant any financial, legal or other accommodation to any other Person.

Section 9.05 Tax Matters.

(a) Intended Tax Treatment.

(i) This Agreement is intended to constitute and hereby is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) for purposes of Sections 354, 361, and 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transactions to qualify, (and SPAC shall not, nor permit or cause any of their Affiliates to, take any action that could reasonably be expected to prevent, impair, or impede the Transactions from qualifying), for the Intended Tax Treatment, including changing the classification of Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 3 as disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as of its formation following its initial entity classification on IRS Form 8832 to be so treated. The Parties intend that the Transactions qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment and, if applicable and if required by U.S. Tax Law, shall report the Transactions consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment and the immediately preceding sentence, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other and their respective Tax counsel and other Tax advisors to document and support the Transactions’ qualification for the Intended Tax Treatment.

(ii) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Parties in writing if, before the Closing, it reasonably determines that the Transactions may not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. Following such notice, the notifying Party may propose amendments to the terms of this Agreement that such Party reasonably believes could facilitate such qualification without adversely affecting the rights and commercial position of the Parties. In that case, each other Party shall consider in good faith the proposed amendments and, if it determines in good faith that such amendments would not adversely affect the rights and commercial position of the Parties, the Parties shall effect such amendments.

(b) Gain Recognition Agreement Information. PubCo acknowledges that certain “U.S. persons” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(5)(iv)) that owns at least five percent (5%) of either the total voting power or the total value of the stock of PubCo immediately after the Transactions (a “5% Shareholder”), as determined under Section 367 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, may enter into (and cause to be filed with the IRS) a gain recognition agreement in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8. Upon the written reasonable request of any 5% Shareholder made following the Closing Date, PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) furnish to such 5% Shareholder (to the extent such written request includes the contact information of such 5% Shareholder) such information as such 5% Shareholder reasonably requests in connection with such 5% Shareholder’s preparation of a gain recognition agreement, and (ii) provide such 5% Shareholder with the information reasonably requested by such 5% Shareholder for purposes of determining whether there has been a gain “triggering event” under the terms of such 5% Shareholder’s gain recognition agreement. The obligations under this Section 9.05(b) shall survive after the Closing.

(c) PFIC. For each taxable year in which Sponsor remains a principal shareholder of PubCo for the entirety of such taxable year, PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) determine whether it is a PFIC for such taxable year and (ii) if PubCo determines that it is a PFIC for such taxable year, (A) make electronically available a PFIC Annual Information Statement meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1295-1(g) for such taxable year and (B) provide such other information related to such taxable year that is reasonably requested by PubCo’s shareholders and their direct and/or indirect owners that are “United States” persons (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and reasonably necessary to comply with the provisions of the Code with respect to PFICs, including making and complying with the requirements of a “Qualified Electing Fund” election pursuant to Section 1295 of the Code; provided that Sponsor shall be considered a “principal shareholder” for purposes of this Section 9.05(c) so long as Sponsor or an Affiliate of Sponsor holds at least 50% of the aggregate number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to Sponsor on the Closing Date.

(d) Tax Opinions. No Tax counsel or other Tax advisors of the Parties shall be required to provide a Tax opinion as a condition to the Closing. In the event that any Party seeks a Tax opinion from its Tax advisor regarding the Intended Tax Treatment, or the SEC requests or requires a Tax opinion regarding the Intended Tax Treatment, each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver customary Tax representation letters (not to be inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents) as the applicable Tax advisor may reasonably request in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Tax advisor.

(e) Transfer Taxes. PubCo shall be responsible for and shall pay all Transfer Taxes. The Party required by Law to do so shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Transfer Taxes and, if required by applicable Law, the other Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with respect the filing of any such Tax Returns and other documentation and to cooperate to eliminate or reduce any Transfer Taxes.

Section 9.06 Shareholder Litigation. The Company and PubCo shall promptly advise SPAC, and SPAC shall promptly advise the Company, as the case may be, of any Action commenced (or to the Knowledge of the Company or PubCo or the Knowledge of SPAC, as applicable, threatened) on or after the date of this Agreement against such party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its directors or officers by any Company Equityholder or SPAC Shareholder relating to this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other Transactions, the occurrence of which has caused or is reasonably likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any Party to effect the Transactions not to be satisfied or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Parties to consummate the Transactions or to materially delay the timing thereof (any such Action, “Shareholder Litigation”), and such party shall keep the other party reasonably informed regarding any such Shareholder Litigation. Other than with respect to any Shareholder Litigation where the parties identified in this sentence are adverse to each other or in the context of any Shareholder Litigation related to or arising out of a Company Acquisition Proposal or a SPAC Acquisition Proposal, (a) the Company and PubCo shall give SPAC a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such Shareholder Litigation (and consider in good faith the suggestions of SPAC in connection therewith) brought against the Company or PubCo, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors or officers and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the SPAC’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (b) SPAC and shall give the Company a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such Shareholder Litigation (and consider in good faith the suggestions of the Company in connection therewith) brought against SPAC, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its directors or officers, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the Company’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 9.07 Notice of Developments. During the Interim Period, the Company shall promptly notify SPAC in writing, and SPAC shall promptly notify the Company in writing, upon any of the Group Companies or SPAC, as applicable, becoming aware (awareness being determined with reference to the Knowledge of the Company or the Knowledge of SPAC, as the case may be): (i) of the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which has caused or is reasonably likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any Party to effect the Transactions not to be satisfied; or (ii) of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Parties to consummate the Transactions or to materially delay the timing thereof. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall not cure any breach of any warranty requiring disclosure of such matter or any breach of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise limit or affect the rights of, or the remedies available to, SPAC or the Company, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any failure to give such notice pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall not give rise to any liability of the Company or SPAC or be taken into account in determining whether the conditions in Article X have been satisfied or give rise to any right of termination set forth in Article XI.

Section 9.08 PubCo Listing. Prior to the Closing, PubCo shall apply for, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause, the PubCo Ordinary Shares to be issued in connection with the Transactions to be approved for listing on NYSE or Nasdaq as jointly selected by the Company and SPAC (the “Stock Exchange”), and accepted for clearance by the DTC, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date.

Section 9.09 Delisting and Deregistration. The Company, PubCo, and SPAC shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the SPAC Units, SPAC Shares, and SPAC Warrants to be delisted from NYSE (or be succeeded by the respective PubCo securities) and to terminate its registration with the SEC pursuant to Sections 12(b), 12(g) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act (or be succeeded by PubCo) as of the Initial Merger Effective Time or as soon as practicable thereafter.

Section 9.10 Employee Matters.

(a) Equity Plan. Prior to the Closing Date, PubCo shall approve and adopt an incentive equity plan (the “Incentive Equity Plan”), as proposed by the Board of Directors of the Company and as approved by the SPAC. The Incentive Equity Plan shall have an initial additional share reserve, in addition to PubCo Substitute Options, equal to 5% of the fully-diluted PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately following the Closing (including as a result of any PIPE Investment and Equity Commitment Letter). For the purpose of the foregoing sentence, the PubCo Substitute Options shall be counted in determining the “fully-diluted” PubCo Ordinary Shares.

(b) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that all provisions contained in this Section 9.10 are included for the sole benefit of SPAC, PubCo and the Company, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (ii) shall limit the right of SPAC, PubCo, the Company or their respective Affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, agreement or other arrangement following the Closing Date, or (iii) shall confer upon any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (including any equityholder, any current or former director, manager, officer, employee or independent contractor of any Group Company, or any participant in any Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, agreement, or other arrangement (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof)), any right to continued or resumed employment or recall, any right to compensation or benefits, or any third-party beneficiary or other right of any kind or nature whatsoever.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12.16 shall relief any Person of liability under any other Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party.

Section 12.17 Non-Survival of Warranties and Covenants. Except as otherwise contemplated by Section 11.02, the warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate (including confirmations therein), statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and other provisions, shall not survive the Closing and shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Closing (and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect thereof), except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part after the Closing, and then only with respect to any breaches occurring after the Closing and (b) this Article XII.
