6.4 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Neither this Agreement, nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder, may be assigned or delegated by any Party (including by operation of Law) without the prior written consent of each of the Buyer, Seller and the Issuers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that Seller may assign or delegate any and all of its rights under this Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates without the consent of any other Party. Any purported assignment or delegation not permitted under this Section 6.4 shall be null and void ab initio.
6.5 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter in any way. Except for the rights, and duties or obligations owed to, Seller under the UM Partners LLCA (which rights, duties and obligations shall (a) remain in full force and effect at all times prior to the Closing and (b) terminate effective at the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), the Parties have voluntarily agreed to define their rights and Liabilities with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exclusively pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not set forth in this Agreement. Furthermore, this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations and no Person has any special relationship with another Person that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give any Person, other than the Parties and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder (other than each Released Party enforcing its rights under Section 4.3 and each Non-Party Affiliate enforcing its rights under Section 6.11).

6.6 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction. The Law of the State of Delaware shall govern (a) all claims or matters related to or arising from this Agreement (including any tort or non-contractual claims) and (b) any questions concerning the construction, interpretation, validity and enforceability of this Agreement, and the performance of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, in each case without giving effect to any choice-of-law or conflict-of-law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each party to this Agreement hereby IRREVOCABLY waives all rights to trial by jury in any Proceeding brought to resolve any dispute between or among any of the parties (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, connected with, related or incidental to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated BY THIS AGREEMENT and/or the relationships established among the parties hereunder. EACH PARTY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. Each of the Parties submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of first, the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or if such court declines jurisdiction, then to the Federal District Court for the District of Delaware, in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, agrees that all claims in respect of the Proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court and agrees not to bring any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other courts. Nothing in this Section 6.6, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any manner permitted by Law or at equity. Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any Proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any manner provided by Law or at equity.
6.7 Trust Account Waiver. Seller acknowledges that the Buyer has established the Trust Account for the benefit of its public stockholders, which holds proceeds of its initial public offering. For and in consideration of the Buyer entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller, for itself and the Affiliates it has the authority to bind, hereby agrees it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets in the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to (i) the Buyer’s public stockholders upon the redemption of their respective shares in the Buyer and (ii) the underwriters of the Buyer’s initial public offering in respect of their deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account, in each case as set forth in the Trust Agreement (collectively, the “Trust Distributions”)), and hereby waives any claims it has or may have at any time solely against the Trust Account (including the Trust Distributions) as a result of, or arising out of, any discussions, contracts or agreements (including this Agreement) between the Buyer and Seller and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including the Trust Distributions) for any reason whatsoever. Seller agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Buyer and the Sponsor to induce the Buyer to enter in this Agreement, and Seller further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against Seller and its Affiliates that it has the authority to bind under applicable Law. To the extent Seller or any of its Affiliates that Seller has the authority to bind commences any action or proceeding against the Buyer or any of its Affiliates based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to discussions, contracts or agreements (including this Agreement) between the Buyer and Seller, which Proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Buyer or its representatives, Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Seller’s and its Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against assets of the Buyer (excluding the assets in the Trust Account) and that such claim shall not permit Seller or such Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including the Trust Distributions) or any amounts contained in the Trust Account while in the Trust Account.

6.8 Fees and Expenses. Each of the Parties shall be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not the Closing is consummated. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuers shall jointly and severally pay to Seller an amount equal to all fees and expenses incurred by Seller and its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, promptly after receipt from Seller of invoices and other supporting documentation setting forth such fees and expenses in reasonable detail; provided, that the obligations of the Issuers pursuant to this sentence shall in no event exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000).
6.9 Amendment and Waiver. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing, signed by the Buyer, Seller and the Issuers. No waiver of any provision or condition of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Party against which such waiver is to be enforced. No waiver by any Party of any default, breach of representation or warranty or breach of covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any other, prior or subsequent default or breach or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any other, prior or subsequent such occurrence.
6.10 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached, money damages would be inadequate (and therefore the non-breaching Party would have no adequate remedy at Law) and the non-breaching Party would be irreparably damaged. Accordingly, unless this Agreement has been terminated, each Party agrees that each other Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance, an injunction or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security or needing to prove irreparable harm) to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to seek specific enforcement of this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any Proceeding, in addition to any other remedy to which such Person may be entitled. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 6.10 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

6.11 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement (except in the case of the immediately succeeding sentence) or any document, agreement, or instrument delivered contemporaneously herewith, and notwithstanding the fact that any Party may be a partnership or limited liability company, each Party hereto, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Persons other than the Parties shall have any obligation hereunder and that no Party has any rights of recovery hereunder against, and no recourse hereunder or under any documents, agreements, or instruments delivered contemporaneously herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith shall be had against, any former, current or future director, officer, agent, Affiliate, manager, assignee, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative or employee of any Party (or any of their successors or permitted assignees), against any former, current, or future general or limited partner, manager, stockholder or member of any Party (or any of their successors or permitted assignees) or any Affiliate thereof or against any former, current or future director, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate, manager, assignee, incorporator, controlling Person, fiduciary, representative, general or limited partner, stockholder, manager or member of any of the foregoing, but in each case not including the Parties (each, but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties, a “Non-Party Affiliate”), whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim (whether in tort, Contract, equity or otherwise) by or on behalf of such Party against the Non-Party Affiliates, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any Proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, or otherwise; it being agreed and acknowledged that no personal Liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on, or otherwise be incurred by any Non-Party Affiliate, as such, for any obligations of the applicable Party under this Agreement or any agreements, certificates, instruments and documents delivered pursuant hereto or the transactions contemplated hereby, in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, or for any claim (whether in tort, Contract, equity or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-Party Affiliate may have obligations under any documents, agreements, or instruments delivered contemporaneously herewith or otherwise required by this Agreement if such Non-Party Affiliate is party to such document, agreement or instrument. Except to the extent otherwise set forth herein, and subject in all cases to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action of any kind based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are named as Parties hereto and then only with respect to the obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Each Non-Party Affiliate is intended as a third-party beneficiary of this Section 6.11.
