ARTICLE III

CLOSING TRANSACTIONS

3.1. Effect on SPAC Shares and Warrants, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, Third Merger Sub and New PubCo.

(a) At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the SPAC, New PubCo, First Merger Sub or any holder of any SPAC Shares:

(i) Cancellation of Certain SPAC Shares. All SPAC Shares that are owned by SPAC, First Merger Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of the SPAC immediately prior to the First Effective Time, shall automatically be canceled, and no New PubCo Ordinary Shares or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(ii) Conversion of SPAC Shares. Each SPAC Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (except for shares being cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(a)) shall be converted into and shall for all purposes represent only the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of New PubCo Ordinary Shares equal to 1.00 (the “SPAC Exchange Ratio”) (such shares referred to collectively as the “First Merger Consideration”). As of the First Effective Time, all of the SPAC Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled by virtue of the First Merger and each former holder of SPAC Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities, except the right to receive, in accordance with this Section 3.1, the First Merger Consideration and otherwise as expressly provided herein.

(iii) Conversion of First Merger Sub Shares. At the First Effective Time, each share of First Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall automatically convert into one share of Initial SPAC Surviving Sub, which shall constitute the only outstanding share of Initial SPAC Surviving Sub and be owned by New PubCo.

(iv) Cancellation of New PubCo Ordinary Shares. Each share of New PubCo that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(v) Treatment of SPAC Warrants. At the First Effective Time, each SPAC Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the First Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall be converted into and become a warrant to purchase New PubCo Ordinary Shares, and New PubCo shall assume each such SPAC Warrant in accordance with its terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement). All rights with respect to SPAC Shares under SPAC Warrants assumed by New PubCo shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to New PubCo Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, from and after the First Effective Time: (i) each SPAC Warrant assumed by New PubCo may be exercised solely for shares of New PubCo Ordinary Shares; (ii) the number of shares of New PubCo Ordinary Shares subject to each SPAC Warrant assumed by New PubCo shall be determined by multiplying (A) the number of SPAC Shares that were subject to such SPAC Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time by (B) the SPAC Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of New PubCo Ordinary Shares; (iii) the per share exercise price for the New PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of each SPAC Warrant assumed by New PubCo shall be determined by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of SPAC Shares subject to such SPAC Warrant, as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time, by (B) the SPAC Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any restriction on the exercise of any SPAC Warrant assumed by New PubCo shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such SPAC Warrant shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that to the extent provided under the terms of a SPAC Warrant, such SPAC Warrant assumed by New PubCo in accordance with this Section 3.1 shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend or distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into New PubCo Ordinary Shares), reorganization, combination, exchange of shares, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other like change with respect to New PubCo Ordinary Shares subsequent to the First Effective Time.

(b) At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Initial SPAC Surviving Sub or Second Merger Sub:

(i) Cancellation of Certain Second Merger Sub Shares. All shares of Second Merger Sub that are owned by Second Merger Sub, Initial SPAC Surviving Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Second Merger Sub immediately prior to the Second Effective Time, shall automatically be canceled, and no New PubCo Ordinary Shares or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(ii) Conversion of Second Merger Sub Shares. At the Second Effective Time, each share of Second Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall automatically convert into one share of Subsequent SPAC Surviving Sub, which shall constitute the only outstanding share of Subsequent SPAC Surviving Sub and be owned by New PubCo.

(iii) Cancellation of Initial SPAC Subsidiary Shares. Each share of Initial SPAC Surviving Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

3.2. Effect on Newco Shares and Third Merger Sub. At the Third Effective Time, by virtue of the Third Merger and without any action on the part of Newco, New PubCo, Third Merger Sub or any holders of Newco Shares:

(a) Cancellation of Newco Shares. All Newco Shares that are owned by Newco (“Newco Treasury Shares”), Third Merger Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of Newco immediately prior to the Third Effective Time shall automatically be canceled, and no New PubCo Ordinary Shares or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Newco Shares. Each Newco Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Third Effective Time (except for Newco Treasury Shares and other shares being cancelled pursuant to Section 3.2(a)) shall be converted into and shall for all purposes represent only the right to receive the Per Share Consideration (the aggregate amounts of consideration allocated pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) and Section 3.3, collectively, the “Newco Shareholder Consideration”). All of the Newco Shares converted into the right to receive consideration as described in this Section 3.2(b) shall be automatically cancelled and

extinguished and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Newco Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities, except the right to receive the applicable consideration described in this Section 3.2(b) into which such Newco Share shall have been converted or as otherwise provided in this Agreement and each former holder of Newco Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such securities, except as expressly provided herein.

(c) Conversion of Third Merger Sub Shares. At the Third Effective Time, each share of Third Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Third Effective Time shall automatically convert into one share of Newco Surviving Sub, which shall constitute the only outstanding share of Newco Surviving Sub and be owned by New PubCo.

3.3. Treatment of Company Options.

(a) Immediately prior to the Third Effective Time, the Company shall convert the exercise price and the Option Purchase Price of each then-outstanding Company Option which shall be expressed in U.S. dollars using the conversion rate published by the Central Bank of Brazil at the close of business on the day prior to the delivery of the Closing Payments Schedule. At the Third Effective Time:

(i) All Vested Company Options outstanding immediately prior to the Third Effective Time shall, automatically and without any action on the part of any Company Optionholder or beneficiary thereof, be “net exercised” in full immediately prior to the Third Effective Time, pursuant to which (A) the Company will withhold a number of Company Shares issuable upon such exercise in order to satisfy the exercise price applicable to such Vested Company Options, based on a price per Company Share equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration Value, and (B) at the Third Effective Time, such net number of Company Shares issuable to the Company Optionholder (after giving effect to clause (A) above) (the “Net Vested Option Shares”) shall be converted into a number of New PubCo Ordinary Shares determined by multiplying (1) such number of Net Vested Option Shares by (2) the Exchange Ratio, rounded to the nearest whole share. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the rounding of any shares pursuant to this Section 3.3(a)(i) shall be determined on an award-by-award basis and (ii) the number of Net Vested Option Shares with respect to any applicable award of Vested Company Options will be determined (on an award-by-award basis) as follows: (I) first, the aggregate exercise price of the applicable award of Vested Company Options will be determined by multiplying the aggregate number of Company Shares issuable pursuant to such award of Vested Company Options by the exercise price per Company Share applicable to each such Vested Company Option thereunder (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”), (II) then the number of Company Shares required to satisfy the Aggregate Exercise Price applicable to such award of Vested Company Options will be determined by dividing the Aggregate Exercise Price of such award of Vested Company Options by the Per Share Merger Consideration Value (for these purposes, “Per Share Merger Consideration Value” will be calculated as the quotient of (a) (x) $620,000,000, plus (y) the aggregate per share exercise price with respect to all Vested Company Options outstanding immediately prior to Closing, as if such Vested Company Options were exercised in full immediately prior to the Closing (without giving effect to “net exercise” under this Section 3.3(a)(i))

divided by (b) the sum of (x) the Newco Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Third Effective Time (after giving effect to the Pre-Closing Exchange) and (y) the Company Shares that, immediately prior to the net exercise contemplated under this Section 3.3(a)(i), are issuable upon exercise in full of all then-outstanding Vested Company Options) (“Option Shares Needed to Cover”), (III) then the Net Vested Option Shares applicable to such award of Vested Company Options will be determined by subtracting the applicable Option Shares Needed to Cover from the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such award of Vested Company Options.

(ii) All outstanding Unvested Company Options immediately prior to the Third Effective Time shall, immediately prior to Closing, automatically and without any action on the part of any Company Optionholder or beneficiary thereof, be assumed by New PubCo, and each such Unvested Company Option shall be converted into an option to purchase New PubCo Ordinary Shares (each, a “Converted Option”). Each Converted Option shall continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Unvested Company Option immediately before the Third Effective Time (including vesting, expiration date and exercise provisions), except that: (x) each Converted Option shall be exercisable for that number of New PubCo Ordinary Shares equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (A) the number of Company Shares subject to the Unvested Company Option immediately before the Third Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio; and (y) the per share exercise price for New PubCo Ordinary Share issuable upon exercise of the Converted Option shall be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per Company Share of such Unvested Company Option immediately before the Third Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of New PubCo Ordinary Shares purchasable under each Converted Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder; provided, further, that in the case of any Unvested Company Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of New PubCo Ordinary Shares purchasable under such Converted Option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

(b) Prior to the Third Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to each Company Optionholder a notice setting forth the effect of the Mergers (including the Third Merger) on such Company Optionholder’s Company Options and describing the treatment of such Company Options in accordance with this Section 3.3.

(c) Prior to the Third Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary or appropriate actions to: (i) effectuate the provisions of this Article III; and (ii) ensure that after the Effective Times (including the Third Effective Time), neither any holder of Company Options, any beneficiary thereof, nor any other participant in the Company Share Plan shall have any right thereunder to acquire any securities of the Company or New PubCo or to receive any payment or benefit with respect to any award previously granted under the Company Share Plan, except as provided in this Article III. At the Third Effective Time, New PubCo shall assume the Company Share Plan, provided that all references to “Company” in the Company Share Plan and the documents governing the Converted Options after the Effective Times (including the Third Effective Time) will be deemed references to New PubCo and the number of New PubCo Ordinary Shares available for awards under the Company Share Plan shall be determined by adjusting the number of Company Shares available for awards under the Company Share Plan immediately before the Third Effective Time in accordance with the Exchange Ratio; provided, that any New PubCo Ordinary Shares available for awards under the Company Share Plan as of the Third Effective Time shall not be available for future awards under either the Company Share Plan or the New PubCo Equity Plan following the Third Effective Time.

(d) New PubCo shall (i) reserve for issuance the number of New PubCo Ordinary Shares that will become subject to the Converted Options and (ii) issue or cause to be issued the appropriate number of New PubCo Ordinary Shares, upon the exercise of the Converted Options. As soon as practicable following the Closing, New PubCo will prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or other appropriate form) registering a number of shares of New PubCo Ordinary Shares necessary to fulfill New PubCo’s obligations under this Section 3.3. The Company and its counsel shall reasonably cooperate with and assist New PubCo in the preparation of such registration statement.

3.4. Exchange Procedures. Following the date hereof and prior to the Effective Times, New PubCo shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the exchange agent in connection with the Mergers and, if required by the Exchange Agent, enter into an exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) in a form and substance that is reasonably acceptable to the Company and New PubCo; provided, however, that (i) Continental Trust is deemed to be reasonably acceptable and (ii) New PubCo shall afford the Company opportunity to review any proposed Exchange Agent Agreement prior to execution, and shall accept the Company’s reasonable comments thereto.

3.5. Issuance of the Closing Number of Securities.

(a) At the Closing, New PubCo shall issue to each Newco Shareholder that has complied with the procedures to be agreed upon with the Exchange Agent, the number of shares of New PubCo Ordinary Shares to which each Newco Shareholder is entitled in respect of its Newco Shares pursuant to Section 3.2(a).

(b) At the Closing, New PubCo shall issue to each SPAC Shareholder that has complied with the procedures to be agreed upon with the Exchange Agent, the number of shares of New PubCo Ordinary Shares to which each SPAC Shareholder is entitled in respect of its Newco Shares pursuant to Section 3.1(a).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, no fraction of a New PubCo Ordinary Share shall be issued by virtue of the Mergers, and the Persons who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a New PubCo Ordinary Share (after aggregating all fractional New PubCo Ordinary Shares that otherwise would be received by such Person) shall receive from New PubCo, in lieu of such fractional share: (i) one New PubCo Ordinary Share if the aggregate amount of fractional New PubCo Ordinary Shares such Person would otherwise be entitled to is equal to or exceeds 0.50; or (ii) no New PubCo Ordinary Shares if the aggregate amount of fractional New PubCo Ordinary Shares such Person would otherwise be entitled to is less than 0.50.

(d) The number of New PubCo Ordinary Shares that each Person is entitled to receive as a result of the Mergers and as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend or distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into New PubCo Ordinary Shares), reorganization, combination, exchange of shares, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other like change with respect to New PubCo Ordinary Shares occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Closing.

3.6. SPAC Financing Certificate. Not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, SPAC shall deliver to Newco written notice (the “Financing Certificate”) setting forth: (a) the aggregate amount of cash proceeds that will be required to satisfy any exercise of the SPAC Shareholder Redemptions; (b) the estimated amount of SPAC Cash and Transaction Costs as of the Closing; and (c) the number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares to be outstanding as of the Closing after giving effect to the SPAC Shareholder Redemptions and the issuance of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements and the terms of this Agreement and the Sponsor Letter Agreement. SPAC shall also deliver to Newco (x) a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of SPAC certifying that the amounts set forth in the Financing Certificate have been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and (y) reasonable relevant supporting documentation used by SPAC in calculating such amounts, including with respect to Transaction Costs.

SPAC and its Representatives shall reasonably assist Newco and its Representatives in its review of the documentation and shall consider in good faith Newco’s comments to the Financing Certificate, and if any adjustments are made to the Financing Certificate prior to the Closing (with Newco’s prior written consent), such adjusted Financing Certificate shall thereafter become the Financing Certificate for all purposes of this Agreement. The Financing Statement and the determinations contained therein shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable definitions contained in this Agreement. Newco shall be entitled to rely in all respects on the Financing Certificate.

3.7. Closing Calculations. Newco and the Company shall deliver to SPAC, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date written notice (the “Closing Payments Schedule”) setting forth: (a) the calculation of the Newco Shareholder Consideration and (b) the allocation of the Newco Shareholder Consideration among the Newco Shareholders.

Newco and its Representatives shall reasonably assist SPAC and its Representatives in its review of the documentation and shall consider in good faith SPAC’s

comments to the Closing Payments Schedule, and if any adjustments are made to the Closing Payments Schedule prior to the Closing, such adjusted Closing Payments Schedule shall thereafter become the Closing Payments Schedule for all purposes of this Agreement. The Closing Payments Schedule and the determinations contained therein shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable definitions contained in this Agreement. New PubCo, SPAC, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and Third Merger Sub will be entitled to rely in all respects upon the Closing Payments Schedule.

(i) if at any time during the 5 year period following the Closing Date (the end of such period, the “First Release Date”) the closing share price of the New PubCo Ordinary Shares is greater than or equal to $12.50 over any 20 Trading Days within any consecutive 30 Trading Day period, one-half of the Earn-Out Shares shall be issued; and

(b) If (i) the First Release Date or the Second Release Date occurs on a day that is not a Trading Day, then the “First Release Date” or the “Second Release Date” (as applicable) shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to occur on the next following Trading Day, and (ii) if New PubCo or any of its affiliates enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acceleration Event (as defined below) on or prior to the First Release Date or the Second Release Date, then the First Release Date of the Second Release Date (as applicable) shall be automatically extended and shall be deemed to occur on the earlier of (A) the consummation of such Acceleration Event and (B) the termination of such definitive agreement with respect to such Acceleration Event in accordance with its terms.

(c) The New PubCo Ordinary Share price targets in Sections 3.8(a)(i) and (a)(ii) shall be equitably adjusted for stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend or distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into New PubCo Ordinary Shares), reorganization, combination, exchange of shares, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other like change affecting the New PubCo Ordinary Shares after the Effective Times.

(d) In the event of the satisfaction of the threshold set forth in Section 3.8(a)(i) on or prior to the First Release Date or the threshold set forth in Section 3.8(a)(ii) on or prior to the Second Release Date, as soon as practicable (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) after such satisfaction, New PubCo shall issue such Earn-Out Shares to the Earn-Out Participants as a result thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, for all purposes hereunder, such Earn-Out Participants shall be deemed entitled to such Earn-Out Shares as of the date of satisfaction of the threshold set forth in Section 3.8(a)(i) or the threshold set forth in Section 3.8(a)(ii), notwithstanding the issuance of such Earn-Out Shares following such date of satisfaction).

(e) In the event of the failure of the satisfaction of the threshold set forth in Section 3.8(a)(i) on or prior to the First Release Date, or the failure of the satisfaction of the threshold set forth in Section 3.8(a)(ii) on or prior to the Second Release Date, the right and entitlement herein to the portion of the Earn-Out Shares that is the subject of the applicable threshold shall be forfeited by the Earn-Out Participants.

None of New PubCo, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or Third Merger Sub are in violation of any of the provisions of their respective Governing Documents in any material respect. Each of New PubCo, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and Third Merger Sub is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation or limited liability company and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification or licensing necessary other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a (i) material adverse effect on the ability of any SPAC Party to enter into this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements to which it is or will be a party and to consummate the Transactions or (ii) a SPAC Material Adverse Effect.

(b) New PubCo has no direct or indirect Subsidiaries or participations in joint ventures or other entities, and does not own, directly or indirectly, any equity interests or other interests or investments (whether equity or debt) in any Person other than First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and Third Merger Sub.

This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which each of them is a party have been duly and validly executed and delivered by New PubCo, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and Third Merger Sub and,

assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Company, constitute the legal and binding obligations of New PubCo, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and Third Merger Sub (as applicable), enforceable against New PubCo, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and Third Merger Sub (as applicable) in accordance with their terms, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies.

(e) Complete and correct copies of the Governing Documents of New PubCo and the Merger Subs, as currently in effect, have been made available to the Company as of the date hereof, which Governing Documents shall not be modified until immediately prior to the First Effective Time, at which point the modifications provided for in Section 2.9 shall be carried out.

The SPAC Warrants have been validly issued, and constitute valid and binding obligations of SPAC, enforceable against SPAC in accordance with their terms, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements, SPAC has committed to issue 9,400,000 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares to the PIPE Investors.

The execution and delivery by each SPAC Party of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, and the consummation by each SPAC Party of the Transactions (including the Mergers) have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such SPAC Party, and no other proceedings on the part of such Person are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party or to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, other than approval of the SPAC Shareholder Matters. This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which each SPAC Party is a party have been duly and validly executed and delivered by such SPAC Party and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof and thereof by the Company, constitute the legal and binding obligations of such SPAC Party enforceable against it in accordance with their terms, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies.

5.5. No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

(a) Subject to the approval by the shareholders of the SPAC Shareholder Matters, neither the execution, delivery nor performance by any SPAC Party of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, nor the consummation of the Transactions, shall: (i) conflict with or violate such SPAC Party’s Governing Documents; (ii) assuming that the consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, filings or permits referred to in Section 5.5(b) are duly and timely obtained or made, conflict with or violate any applicable Legal Requirements; or (iii) result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or materially impair its rights or alter the rights or obligations of any third party under, or give to any third party any rights of consent, termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien (other than any Permitted Lien) on any of the properties or assets of such SPAC Party pursuant to, any Contracts, except, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii), as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a (i) material adverse effect on the ability of any SPAC Party to enter into this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements to which it is or will be a party and to consummate the Transactions or (ii) a SPAC Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The execution and delivery by each SPAC Party of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party does not, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Entity, except: (i) for the filing of the First Plan of Merger and associated documents and Second Plan of Merger and associated documents in accordance with the Companies Act; (ii) for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, blue sky laws, foreign securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, and appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other jurisdictions in which such SPAC Party is qualified to do business; (iii) for the filing of any notifications required under the Antitrust Laws and the expiration of the required waiting periods thereunder; (iv) for the consents, approvals, authorizations and permits described in Schedule 5.5(b) of the SPAC Disclosure Letter; and (v) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a (i) material adverse effect on the ability of any SPAC Party to enter into this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements to which it is or will be a party and to consummate the Transactions or (ii) a SPAC Material Adverse Effect.

5.6. Compliance; Approvals. Since its incorporation or organization, as applicable, each SPAC Party has complied in all material respects with and has not been in violation of any applicable Legal Requirements with respect to the conduct of its business, or the ownership or operation of its business. Since the date of its incorporation or organization, as applicable, to the Knowledge of SPAC, no investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to any SPAC Party has been pending or threatened. No written or, to the Knowledge of SPAC, oral notice of non-compliance with any applicable Legal Requirements has been received by any SPAC Party. Each SPAC Party is in possession of all Approvals necessary to own, lease and operate the properties it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to have such Approvals would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a SPAC Material Adverse Effect. Each Approval held by each SPAC Party is valid, binding and in full force and effect in all material respects. No SPAC Party: (a) is in default or violation (and no event has occurred that, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or violation) of any material term, condition or provision of any such Approval; or (b) has received any notice from a Governmental Entity that has issued any such Approval that it intends to cancel, terminate, modify or not renew any such Approval, except in the case of clauses (a) and (b) as would not individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a (i) material adverse effect on the ability of any SPAC Party to enter into this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements to which it is or will be a party and to consummate the Transactions or (ii) a SPAC Material Adverse Effect.

5.7. SPAC SEC Reports and Financial Statements.

(a) SPAC has timely filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required to be filed or furnished by SPAC with the SEC under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act since SPAC’s incorporation to the date of this Agreement, together with any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date of this Agreement, the “SPAC SEC Reports”), and will have timely filed all such forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required to be filed subsequent to the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date (the “Additional SPAC SEC Reports”). All SPAC SEC Reports, Additional SPAC SEC Reports, any correspondence from or to the SEC (other than such correspondence in connection with the initial public offering of New PubCo) and all certifications and statements required by: (i) Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 under the Exchange Act; or (ii) 18 U.S.C. § 1350 (Section 906) of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Certifications”) are available on the SEC’s Electronic Data-Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (XXXXX) in full without redaction. SPAC has heretofore furnished to the Company true and correct copies of all amendments and modifications that have not been filed by SPAC with the SEC to all agreements, documents and other instruments that previously had been filed by SPAC with the SEC and are currently in effect. The SPAC SEC Reports complied, and the Additional SPAC SEC Reports will comply, in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The SPAC SEC Reports did not at the time they were filed, and the Additional SPAC SEC Reports will not at the time they are filed, as the case may be, with the SEC contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Certifications are each true and correct in all material respects. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received from the SEC with respect to any SPAC SEC Reports. To the Knowledge of SPAC, none of the SPAC SEC Reports filed on or prior to the date of this Agreement is subject to ongoing SEC review or investigation as of the date of this Agreement. SPAC maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Each director and executive officer of SPAC has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all statements required with respect to SPAC by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. As used in this Section 5.7, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC or the NASDAQ, so long as copies thereof are publicly available.

(b) The financial statements and notes of SPAC contained or incorporated by reference in the SPAC SEC Reports fairly present, and the financial statements and notes of SPAC to be contained in or to be incorporated by reference in the Additional SPAC SEC Reports will fairly present, in all material respects the financial condition and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of SPAC as at the respective dates of, and for the periods referred to in, such financial statements, all prepared from the books and records of the SPAC and in accordance with: (i) GAAP; and (ii) Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, in each case, applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be material) and the omission of notes to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable. SPAC has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the SPAC SEC Reports.

5.8. Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as set forth in SPAC SEC Reports filed prior to the date of this Agreement, and except as contemplated by this Agreement, since the incorporation of the SPAC, there has not been: (a) any SPAC Material Adverse Effect; (b) any material adverse effect on the ability of any SPAC Party to enter into this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements to which it is or will be a party and to consummate the Transactions; or (c) any action taken or agreed upon by SPAC that would be prohibited by Section 6.2 if such action were taken on or after the date hereof without the consent of the Company.

5.9. Litigation. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a (i) material adverse effect on the ability of any SPAC Party to enter into this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements to which it is or will be a party and to consummate the Transactions or (ii) a SPAC Material Adverse Effect, there is: (a) no pending or, to the Knowledge of any SPAC Party, threatened Legal Proceeding against any SPAC Party or any of its properties or assets, or any of the directors, managers or officers of any SPAC Party with regard to their actions as such, and, to the Knowledge of SPAC, no facts exist that would reasonably be expected to form the basis for any such Legal Proceeding; (b) other than with respect to audits, examinations or investigations in the ordinary course of business conducted by a Governmental Entity, no pending or, to the Knowledge of SPAC, threatened audit or examination by any Governmental Entity against any SPAC Party or any of its properties or assets, or any of the directors, managers or officers of any SPAC Party with regard to their actions as such, and, to the Knowledge of SPAC, no facts exist that would reasonably be expected to form the basis for any such audit or examination; (c) no pending or threatened Legal Proceeding by any SPAC Party against any third party; (d) no settlement or similar agreement that imposes any material ongoing obligation or restriction on any SPAC Party; and (e) no Order imposed or, to the Knowledge of SPAC, threatened in writing to be imposed upon any SPAC Party or any of its respective properties or assets, or any of the directors, managers or officers of any SPAC Party with regard to their actions as such.

5.10. Business Activities.

(a) Since its incorporation, SPAC has not conducted any business activities other than activities: (i) in connection with its organization; (ii) in connection with its initial public offering; and (iii) directed toward the accomplishment of a business combination. Except as set forth in the Governing Documents SPAC, there is no Contract or Order binding upon SPAC or to which it is a party which has or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of it, any acquisition of property by it or the conduct of business by it as currently conducted or as currently contemplated to be conducted (including, in each case, as of the Closing).

(b) Except for the Transactions, the SPAC Parties do not own or have a right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any interest or investment (whether equity or debt) in any corporation, partnership, joint venture, business, trust or other entity. Except for this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the SPAC Parties have no material interests, rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to, and are not party to, bound by or have their assets or property subject to, in each case whether directly or indirectly, any Contract or transaction which is, or would reasonably be interpreted as constituting, a business combination.

5.11. SPAC Material Contracts.

(a) Schedule 5.11 of the SPAC Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list of (i) each “material contract” (as such term is defined in Regulation S-K) to which any SPAC Party is party (the “SPAC Material Contracts”), other than any such SPAC Material Contract that is listed as an exhibit to SPAC’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-241831).

(b) True, correct and complete copies of the SPAC Material Contracts have been delivered to or made available to the Company or its Representatives. Except for each SPAC Material Contract that has terminated or will terminate upon the expiration of the stated term thereof prior to the Closing Date and except as would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a SPAC Material Adverse Effect, (i) such Contracts are in full force and effect and represent the legal, valid and binding obligations of the SPAC Parties and, to the Knowledge of the SPAC Parties, represent the legal, valid and binding obligations of the other parties thereto, and, to the Knowledge of the SPAC Parties, are enforceable by the SPAC Parties to the extent a party thereto in accordance with their terms, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies, and (ii) none of the SPAC Parties or, to the Knowledge of the SPAC Parties, any other party thereto is in material breach of or material default (or would be in material breach, violation or default but for the existence of a cure period) under any such Contract.

5.12. SPAC Listing. The SPAC Units are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbol “ASPCU”. The SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on the NASDAQ under the symbol “ASPC”. The SPAC Warrants are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on the NASDAQ under the symbol “ASPCW”. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of SPAC, threatened in writing against SPAC by the NASDAQ or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the SPAC Units, the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares or SPAC Warrants or to terminate the listing of SPAC on the NASDAQ. None of SPAC or any of its Affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to terminate the registration of the SPAC Units, the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares or SPAC Warrants under the Exchange Act.

5.13. PIPE Investment Amount.

(a) SPAC has delivered to the Company true, correct and complete copies of each Subscription Agreement (including any amendments, side letters or other supplements thereto) entered into on or prior to the date hereof, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have committed to provide the PIPE Investment.

(b) Pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of the subscription agreements entered into by SPAC and New PubCo with certain PIPE Investors in relation to the PIPE Investment (each such executed subscription agreement, including any amendments, side letters or other supplements thereto, an “Subscription Agreement”), the PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $94,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment Amount”). The PIPE Investment Amount, together with the amount in the Trust Account will be, prior to or at the Closing, in the aggregate sufficient to enable SPAC and New PubCo to pay all cash amounts required to be paid by SPAC and New PubCo pursuant to this Agreement prior to or at the Closing. As of the date hereof, the Subscription Agreements are, and as of the First Closing, the Subscription Agreements will be, in full force and effect, and none of the Subscription Agreements have been withdrawn or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified, in any respect, and no such withdrawal, termination, amendment or modification is contemplated by SPAC or New PubCo. As of the date hereof, each Subscription Agreement is, and as of the First Closing, each Subscription Agreement will be, a legal, valid and binding obligation of SPAC and New PubCo and, to SPAC’s Knowledge, each PIPE Investor, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies. Other than as expressly contemplated by or referred to in the Subscription Agreements, there are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements between SPAC, New PubCo and/or any PIPE Investor relating to any Subscription Agreement that could affect the obligation of the PIPE Investors to contribute to New PubCo the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements, and, as of the date hereof, SPAC does not know of any facts or circumstances that may reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in any Subscription Agreement not being satisfied, or the PIPE Investment Amount not being available to SPAC and New PubCo, on the Closing Date. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of SPAC or New PubCo under any material term or condition of any Subscription Agreement and, as of the date hereof, neither SPAC nor New PubCo has any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it contained in any Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreements contain all of the conditions precedent (other than the conditions contained in the other Transaction Agreements) to the obligations of the PIPE Investors to contribute to SPAC the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements on the terms therein. No fees, consideration or other discounts are payable or have been agreed by the SPAC Parties or any of their Affiliates to any PIPE Investor in respect of its investment or, except as set forth in the Subscription Agreements.

(a) As of the date of this Agreement, SPAC has at least $230,000,000 in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), maintained and invested pursuant to that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) effective as of February 18, 2021, by and between SPAC and Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company (“Continental Trust”), for the benefit of its public shareholders, with such funds invested in United States Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act. Other than pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, the obligations of SPAC under this Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding SPAC’s, its Affiliates’ or any other Person’s ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the Transactions.

(b) The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified and, to the Knowledge of SPAC with respect to Continental Trust, is valid and in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies. SPAC has complied in all material respects with the terms of the Trust Agreement and is not in breach thereof or default thereunder, and there does not exist under the Trust Agreement any event that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default by SPAC or, to the Knowledge of SPAC, Continental Trust. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other written understandings: (i) between SPAC and Continental Trust that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the SPAC SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) to the Knowledge of SPAC, that would entitle any Person (other than shareholders of SPAC holding SPAC Shares sold in SPAC’s initial public offering who shall have elected to redeem their SPAC Shares pursuant to SPAC’s Governing Documents or the underwriters of the initial public offering with respect to any deferred underwriting compensation) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except: (A) to pay income and franchise taxes from any interest income earned in the Trust Account; and (B) to redeem SPAC Shares in accordance with the provisions of SPAC Governing Documents. There are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of SPAC, threatened in writing with respect to the Trust Account. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder, SPAC has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to SPAC on the Closing Date.

5.15. Taxes.

Subject to the proviso in the immediately following sentence, SPAC shall include the SPAC Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. The board of directors of SPAC shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the SPAC Recommendation (a “Change in Recommendation”); provided, however, that the board of directors may make a Change in Recommendation if it determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to make a Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach by the board of directors of its fiduciary obligations to SPAC under applicable Legal Requirements. SPAC agrees that its obligation to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting for the purpose of seeking approval of the SPAC Shareholder Matters shall not be affected by any Change in Recommendation, and SPAC agrees to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting and submit for the approval of its shareholders the matters contemplated by the Proxy Statement as contemplated by this Section 7.1(b), regardless of whether or not there shall have occurred any Change in Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, SPAC shall be entitled to postpone or adjourn the Special Meeting: (i) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement that the board of directors of SPAC has determined in good faith is required by applicable Legal Requirements is disclosed to SPAC’s shareholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to New PubCo’s shareholders prior to the Special Meeting to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements; (ii) if, as of

the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Special Meeting; (iii) to seek withdrawals of redemption requests from SPAC’s shareholders if SPAC reasonably expects the SPAC Shareholder Redemption Payments would cause the condition in Section 8.2(h) to not be satisfied at the Closing; or (iv) in order to solicit additional proxies from shareholders for purposes of obtaining approval of the SPAC Shareholder Matters; provided, that in the event of a postponement or adjournment pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii), the Special Meeting shall be reconvened as promptly as practicable following such time as the matters described in such clauses have been resolved.

(c) Newco Approvals. Promptly following the date of this Agreement and in connection with the execution and delivery the Newco Joinder and in any event prior to the consummation of the Pre-Closing Exchange, Newco shall obtain and deliver the Newco Approvals.

(a) The Confidentiality Agreement, and the terms thereof, are hereby incorporated herein by reference to the extent not inconsistent with terms of this Agreement. Following Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be superseded in its entirety by the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that if for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Beginning on the date hereof and ending on the second anniversary of this Agreement, each Party agrees to maintain in confidence any non-public information received from the other Parties, and to use such non-public information only for purposes of consummating the Transactions. Such confidentiality obligations will not apply to: (i) information which was known to one Party or its agents or representatives prior to receipt from the Company or Newco, on the one hand, or SPAC, New PubCo, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or Third Merger Sub, on the other hand, as applicable; (ii) information which is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of this Agreement or an existing obligation of confidentiality; (iii) information acquired by a Party or their respective agents from a third party who was not bound to an obligation of confidentiality; (iv) information developed

by such Party independently without any reliance on the non-public information received from any other Party; (v) outside legal counsel determines disclosure is required by applicable Legal Requirement or stock exchange rule; or (vi) prior to the Closing, disclosure consented to in writing by SPAC, New PubCo, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or Third Merger Sub (in the case of the Company) or the Company (in the case of SPAC, New PubCo, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or Third Merger Sub).

(b) SPAC and the Company shall reasonably cooperate to create and implement a communications plan regarding the Transactions promptly following the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates will make any public announcement or issue any public communication regarding this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements or the Transactions or any matter related to the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the Company, in the case of a public announcement by a SPAC Party, or SPAC, in the case of a public announcement by the Company (such consents, in either case, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except: (i) if such announcement or other communication is required by applicable Legal Requirements, in which case, other than, in the case of the Company, routine disclosures to Governmental Entities made by the Company in the ordinary course of business, the disclosing Party first shall allow such other Parties to review, to the extent reasonably practicable, such public announcement or public communication and have the opportunity to comment thereon and the disclosing Party shall consider such comments in good faith; (ii) in the case of the Company, SPAC and their respective Affiliates, if such announcement or other communication is made in connection with fundraising or other investment related activities and is made to such Person’s direct and indirect investors or potential investors or financing sources subject to an obligation of confidentiality; provided that such activities are permitted pursuant to the Transaction Agreements; (iii) in the case of the Group Companies, (x) internal announcements to employees of the Group Companies or (y) communications to banks, customers or suppliers of the Group Companies as the Company determines to be reasonably appropriate (such determination to be made by the Company in good faith); (iv) to the extent such announcements or other communications contain only information previously disclosed in a public statement, press release or other communication previously approved in accordance with Section 7.3 or this Section 7.4(b); and (v) announcements and communications to Governmental Entities in connection with registrations, declarations and filings relating to the Transactions required to be made under this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this sentence shall not limit communications by any Group Company or any of its Affiliates that are not widely disseminated.

(c) The Company will afford SPAC and its financial advisors, accountants, counsel and other representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books, records and personnel of the Group Companies during the period prior to the Closing to obtain all information concerning the business, including the status of business development efforts, properties, results of operations and personnel of the Group Companies, as SPAC may reasonably request in connection with the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted in a manner not to materially interfere with the businesses or operations of such Group Companies. SPAC will afford the Company and its financial advisors, underwriters, accountants, counsel and other representatives reasonable access during normal business hours,

upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books, records and personnel of SPAC during the period prior to the Closing to obtain all information concerning the business, including properties, results of operations and personnel of SPAC, as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted in a manner not to materially interfere with the businesses or operations of SPAC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Parties shall not be required to take any action, provide any access or furnish any information that such Party in good faith reasonably believes would be reasonably likely to (i) cause or constitute a waiver of the attorney-client or other privilege or, (ii) violate any Contract to which such Party is a party or bound, provided, that the Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to make alternative arrangements to allow for such access or furnishings in a manner that does not result in the events set out in clauses (i) and (ii).

7.5. Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Mergers and the other Transactions, including using commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish the following: (a) the taking of all commercially reasonable acts necessary to cause the conditions precedent set forth in Article VIII to be satisfied; (b) the obtaining of all necessary actions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations, declarations and filings, including registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Entities, if any, and filings required pursuant to Antitrust Laws and the taking of all commercially reasonable steps as may be necessary to avoid any Legal Proceeding; (c) the obtaining of all consents, approvals or waivers from third parties required as a result of the Transactions, including any other consents referred to on Schedule 7.5(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter; (d) the termination of each agreement set forth on Schedule 7.5(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter; (e) the defending of any suits, claims, actions, investigations or proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed; and (f) the execution or delivery of any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate, and to fully carry out the purposes of, the Transactions. This obligation shall include, on the part of SPAC, sending a termination letter to Continental Trust substantially in the applicable form attached to the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Termination Letter”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require SPAC or the Company to agree to any divestiture by itself or any of its Affiliates of shares or shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property, the imposition of any limitation on the ability of any of them to conduct their business or to own or exercise control of their respective assets, properties, shares and capital stock, or the incurrence of any liability or expense.

7.6. No SPAC Securities Transactions. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly, engage in any transactions involving the securities of SPAC prior to the time of the making of a public announcement regarding all of the material terms of the business and operations of the Company and the Transactions. The Company shall direct each of its officers and directors to comply with the foregoing requirement.

7.7. No Claim Against Trust Account. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind it has or may have in the future in or to the Trust Account and agrees 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 SPAC; provided, that: (a) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against SPAC pursuant to this Agreement for legal relief against monies or other assets of SPAC held outside the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions (so long as such claim would not affect SPAC’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate any SPAC Shareholder Redemption), or for Intentional Fraud in the making of the representations and warranties in Article V; and (b) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future pursuant to this Agreement against SPAC’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account.

7.8. Disclosure of Certain Matters. Each of SPAC, New PubCo, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, Third Merger Sub and the Company will promptly provide the other Parties with prompt written notice of: (a) any event, development or condition of which it obtains Knowledge that: (i) is reasonably likely to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII not to be satisfied; (ii) would require any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement; or (b) the receipt of notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person may be required in connection with the Transactions.

7.9. Securities Listing. New PubCo shall, and SPAC will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause New PubCo to, cause the Registration Shares issued in connection with the Transactions to be approved for listing on the NASDAQ (or other public stock market or exchange in the United States as may be agreed by the Company and SPAC) at the Closing.

If either Party or its Representatives receives an inquiry, proposal, offer or submission with respect to a Company Business Combination or SPAC Business Combination, as applicable, such Party shall provide the other Parties with a copy of such inquiry, proposal, offer or submission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any Party may respond to any unsolicited proposal regarding a Company Business Combination or SPAC Business Combination by stating only that such Party has entered into a binding definitive agreement with respect to a business combination and is unable to provide any information related to such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or entertain any proposals or offers or engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning a Company Business Combination or SPAC Business Combination, as applicable.

7.11. Trust Account. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII and provision of notice thereof to Continental Trust (which notice SPAC shall provide to Continental Trust in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement): (a) in accordance with and pursuant to the Trust Agreement, at the Closing, SPAC: (i) shall cause the documents, opinions and notices required to be delivered to Continental Trust pursuant to the Trust Agreement to be so delivered, including providing Continental Trust with the Trust Termination Letter; and (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Continental Trust to, and Continental Trust shall thereupon be obligated to, distribute the Trust Account as directed in the Trust Termination Letter, including all amounts payable: (A) to shareholders who properly elect to have their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash in accordance with the provisions of SPAC’s Governing Documents; (B) for income tax or franchise tax obligations of SPAC prior to Closing; (C) to the underwriters of the initial public offering with respect to any deferred underwriting compensation; (D) for any transaction costs of SPAC to the extent SPAC elects to pay these prior to Closing; and (E) as repayment of loans and reimbursement of expenses to directors, officers and shareholders of SPAC; and (b) thereafter, the Trust Account shall terminate, except as otherwise provided therein.

For a period of six years following the Closing Date, New PubCo shall cause the Group Companies to maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of such Group Company’s Governing Documents as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, and New PubCo shall, and shall cause the Group Companies to, not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Company D&O Indemnified Party; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any Legal Proceedings pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Legal Proceeding or resolution of such claim.

(ii) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall purchase a “tail” or “runoff” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “Company D&O Tail”) or alternatively an annual ongoing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, in each case, in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such Person that is a director or officer of a Group Company currently covered by the Company’s and its Affiliates’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date of this Agreement or as commercially practicable under market conditions at such time. The Company D&O Tail shall be maintained for the six-year period following the Closing. New PubCo shall, and shall cause the Newco Surviving Sub to, maintain the Company D&O Tail in full force and effect for its full term and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Group Companies, as applicable, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for such insurance pursuant to this Section 7.12(a)(ii).

(iii) The rights of each Company D&O Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such person may have under the Governing Documents of any Group Company, any other indemnification arrangement, any Legal Requirement or otherwise.

The provisions of this Section 7.12(a) shall survive the Closing and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the Company D&O Indemnified Parties, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 7.12(a).

For a period of six years from the Closing Date, New PubCo shall cause SPAC to maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of SPAC’s Governing Documents as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, and New PubCo shall, and shall cause SPAC to, not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any SPAC D&O Indemnified Party; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any Legal Proceedings pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Legal Proceeding or resolution of such claim.

(ii) Prior to the Closing, the SPAC shall purchase a “tail” or “runoff” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “SPAC D&O Tail”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such Person that is a director or officer of SPAC currently covered by the SPAC and its Affiliates’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date of this Agreement for the six-year period following the Closing. New PubCo shall, and shall cause the Second Surviving Sub to, maintain the SPAC D&O Tail in full force and effect for its full term and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by SPAC, as applicable, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for such insurance pursuant to this Section 7.12(b)(ii).

(iii) The rights of each SPAC D&O Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such person may have under the Governing Documents of SPAC, any other indemnification arrangement, any Legal Requirement or otherwise. The obligations of New PubCo and SPAC under this Section 7.12(b) shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any SPAC D&O Indemnified Party without the consent of such SPAC D&O Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 7.12(b) shall survive the Closing and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the SPAC D&O Indemnified Parties, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 7.12(b).

(iv) If New PubCo or, after the Closing, SPAC, or any of their respective successors or assigns: (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of New PubCo or SPAC, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.12(b).

7.13. Tax Matters.

(a) The Parties intend that the SPAC Mergers, taken together, and the Third Merger will qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment.

Unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements, New PubCo shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and the Company and SPAC and New PubCo shall reasonably cooperate with respect thereto as necessary). The Company and SPAC shall reasonably cooperate to reduce or eliminate the amount of any such Transfer Taxes.

(d) In the event that Closing occurs on or prior to April 15, 2022 and SPAC is treated as a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code for SPAC’s most recent taxable year ending prior to Closing, New PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the SPAC Shareholders a PFIC Annual Information Statement (as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1295-1(g)) that is reasonably required in order to enable such SPAC Shareholders to make a timely and valid “Qualifying Electing Fund” election under Section 1295 of the Code (and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) with respect to SPAC for such taxable year.

7.14. Subscription Agreements. The SPAC Parties shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, or any replacements of, the Subscription Agreements without the Company’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, SPAC shall give the Company, prompt (and, in any event within three (3) Business Days) written notice: (A) of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Subscription Agreement known to a SPAC Party; (B) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to any Subscription Agreement with respect to any actual, potential or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Subscription Agreement or any provisions of any Subscription Agreement; and (C) if SPAC does not expect the relevant SPAC Party to receive all or any portion of the PIPE Investment Amount on the terms, in the manner or from the PIPE Investors contemplated by the Subscription Agreements.

Each Party and any Person asserting rights as a third-party beneficiary hereby agrees not to commence or prosecute any such action, claim, cause of action or suit other than before one of the above-named courts, nor to make any motion or take any other action

100

seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action, claim, cause of action or suit to any court other than one of the above-named courts, whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise. Each Party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, and further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 11.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 11.8, any Party may commence any action, claim, cause of action or suit in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.

(b) TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENT WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS, AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NON-COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

11.9. Rules of Construction. Each of the Parties agrees that it has been represented by independent counsel of its choice during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each Party hereto and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

11.10. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the Transactions are consummated, each Party will pay its own costs and expenses incurred in anticipation of, relating to and in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions.

11.11. Assignment. No Party may assign, directly or indirectly, including by operation of law, either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 11.11, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

101

11.12. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.

11.13. Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, SPAC (on behalf of itself, New PubCo, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub and Third Merger Sub), on the one hand, and the Company (on behalf of itself) may, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to the other Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such Party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right. In the event any provision of any of the other Transaction Agreement in any way conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement (except where a provision therein expressly provides that it is intended to take precedence over this Agreement), this Agreement shall control.

11.14. No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Legal Proceeding for breach of this Agreement may only be made against, the entities that are expressly identified herein as Parties to this Agreement, and no Related Party of a Party shall have any liability for any liabilities or obligations of the Parties for any Legal Proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. No Party shall have any right of recovery in respect hereof against any Related Party of a Party and no personal liability shall attach to any Related Party of a Party through such Party, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by virtue of any Legal Requirement or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 11.14 are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by the Related Parties of the Parties and each such Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 11.14. This Section 11.14 shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parties.

11.16. Disclosure Letters and Exhibits. The Company Disclosure Letter and the SPAC Disclosure Letter shall each be arranged in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement, and the information disclosed in any numbered or lettered part shall be deemed to relate to and to qualify only the particular representation or warranty set forth in the corresponding numbered or lettered Section or subsection of this Agreement, except to the extent that: (a) such information is cross-referenced in another part of the Company Disclosure Letter or the SPAC Disclosure Letter, as applicable; or (b) it is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure (without reference to any document referred to therein or any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed) that such information qualifies another representation and warranty of the Company, on the one hand, or SPAC, New PubCo, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or Third Merger Sub, on the other hand, as applicable, in this Agreement.
