Ladies and Gentlemen:
This Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and among Focus Impact Acquisition Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company” or “FIAC”), Focus Impact Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and the undersigned investor (the “Investor”), in connection with the Business Combination
Agreement, dated September 12, 2023, as amended by the first amendment thereto, dated as of May 1, 2024, and as further amended by the second amendment thereto, dated as of August 10, 2024 (as the same maybe further amended, the “Business
Combination Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Business Combination”), by and among the Company, Focus Impact Amalco Sub Ltd. (“Amalco Sub”), a company existing under the laws of the Province of British
Columbia, and DevvStream Holdings Inc. (“DevvStream”), a company existing under the Laws of the Province of British Columbia, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company is expected to continue from the State of Delaware under the
Delaware General Corporation Law to the Province of Alberta under the Business Corporations Act.
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase in a private placement, contingent upon, and substantially concurrently with
the closing of the Business Combination, a number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), as set forth on the signature page hereto (the “PIPE Shares”) for the
purchase price set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Subscription Amount”). In exchange for the Investor’s agreement to purchase the PIPE Shares, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer a number of shares of Class A Common Stock as set
forth on the signature page hereto (the “Sponsor Shares”) substantially concurrently with the execution of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which
commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required to close for business. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Class A Common Stock, including the PIPE Shares and Sponsor Shares, will automatically convert
into common shares of the Company (as continued as an Alberta, Canada corporation) pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the formula described on the signature page hereto (with the converted PIPE Shares of the continued
Company sometimes referred to herein as the “New PIPE Shares” and the converted Sponsor Shares of the continued Company sometimes referred to herein as the “New Sponsor Shares”).
In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally
bound hereby, each of the Investor and the Company acknowledges and agrees as follows:
1. Subscription.
(a) As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement (the “Sponsor Shares Transfer Date”), the Sponsor shall transfer the Sponsor Shares to the Investor and cause such shares
to be registered in book entry form, free and clear of all liens (other than those arising under applicable securities laws), in the name of the Investor on the Company’s share register. If at any time prior to the closing of the Business
Combination, and other than in connection with the Business Combination, the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is increased or decreased by a consolidation, combination, subdivision or reclassification of the shares of Class A
Common Stock or other similar event, then, as of the effective date of such consolidation, combination, subdivision, reclassification or similar event, the Sponsor Shares shall be adjusted in proportion to such increase or decrease in the shares of
Class A Common Stock. Furthermore, the Investor shall not be subject to forfeiture, surrender, claw-back, transfers, disposals, exchanges or earn-outs for any reason on the Sponsor Shares or New Sponsor Shares.
(b) The closing of the sale, purchase and issuance of the PIPE Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the
Business Combination. The Closing shall occur contingent upon, and substantially concurrent with the closing of the Business Combination (the date the Closing so occurs, the “Closing Date”). Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf
of) the Company to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that the Company reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Business Combination under the Business Combination Agreement to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not
less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to the Company on the anticipated closing date specified in the Closing Notice, (i) the Subscription Amount by wire
transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by the Company in the Closing Notice (which account shall not be an escrow account) and (ii) any other information that is reasonably requested in the
Closing Notice in order for the PIPE Shares to be issued to the Investor, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name such securities are to be issued and a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as
applicable. On the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the PIPE Shares to the Investor, and subsequently cause the PIPE Shares to be registered in book entry form, free and clear of all liens (other than those arising under applicable securities
laws), in the name of the Investor on the Company’s share register; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to issue the PIPE Shares to the Investor is contingent upon the Company having received the Subscription Amount in
full accordance with this Section 1. In the event the Closing does not occur within one (1) business day of the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Company shall promptly (but not later than the next business day
thereafter) return the Subscription Amount to the Investor; provided that, unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 6 hereof, such return of funds shall not terminate this Agreement or relieve the Investor of its
obligation to purchase the PIPE Shares at the Closing upon the delivery by the Company of a subsequent Closing Notice in accordance with this Section 1.

Agreement; and
(ii) all conditions precedent to the closing set forth in the Business Combination Agreement shall have been satisfied (which shall be deemed satisfied if mutually

considered at law or equity.
(d) A copy of each form, report, statement, schedule, proxy and other document filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or prior to the
Closing (the “SEC Reports”) is available to the Investor (including via the SEC’s XXXXX system). As of their respective filing dates all SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Reports. None of the SEC Reports filed under the Exchange Act (except to the extent that information contained in any SEC Report has been superseded by a later timely filed SEC
Report) contained, when filed or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of FIAC included in the SEC Reports, as applicable, comply in all material respects with applicable
accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing, or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of FIAC
as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, subject to (i) in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments, and such consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”) (except as may be disclosed therein or in the notes thereto, and except that the unaudited
financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP), and (ii) changes to historical accounting policies of FIAC in connection with any order, directive, guideline, comment or recommendation from the SEC that is applicable to FIAC.
There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the staff of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports. For the avoidance of doubt, any restatement of the financial statements of the Company and any amendments to
previously filed SEC Reports or delays in filing SEC Reports, in connection with any guidance from the SEC following the date of this Agreement, shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 4(d). Additionally, for avoidance of
doubt, any amendment or modification of any SEC Report (or any agreement filed as an exhibit to any SEC Report) from its initial filing date in a subsequent filing shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 4(d).
4
(e) The Company is authorized to issue up to 551,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 550,000,000 shares of common stock, including (i) 500,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
and 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), and (ii) 1,000,000 undesignated shares of preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”). As of the date of this Agreement, the Company has

Business Combination Agreement. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports or as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the other agreements and arrangements referred to therein, as of the date hereof, there are no outstanding options,

(f) As of the date hereof, there is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company by Nasdaq or the SEC,
respectively, to prohibit the listing of the PIPE Shares, or the registration of the PIPE Shares under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
(g) Assuming the accuracy of the Investor’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 6, no registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities

advertising and (ii) are not being offered to the Investor in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

restrictions of any kind (other than transfer restrictions and other terms and conditions that apply to the Sponsor Shares generally and applicable securities laws) and when transferred to the Investor as provided herein, will be free and clear of
all liens, pledges, security interests, charges, claims, encumbrances, agreements, options, voting trusts, proxies and other arrangements or restrictions of any kind (other than transfer restrictions and other terms and conditions that apply to the
Sponsor Shares generally, under the Letter Agreement, the Sponsor Side Letter and applicable securities laws).
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Sponsor of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default
under (i) the certificate of formation or the operating agreement of the Sponsor, (ii) any agreement or instrument to which the Sponsor is a party or by which it is bound, including the Letter Agreement and the Sponsor Side Letter, or (iii) any
law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Sponsor is subject or any order, judgment or decree to which the Sponsor is subject. The Sponsor is not required under federal, state or local law, rule or regulation to obtain any consent,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency or self-regulatory entity in order for it to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, including the transfer of the Sponsor Shares in
accordance with the terms hereof, other than beneficial ownership filings with the SEC.

6. Investor Representations and Warranties. The Investor represents and warrants to the Company and the Sponsor that:
(a) The Investor, or each of the funds managed by or affiliated with the Investor for which the Investor is acting as nominee, as applicable, (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7), (8), (9), (12) or (13) of Regulation D under the Securities Act), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements

Securities Act), and the Investor has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account,
and (iii) is not acquiring the PIPE Shares or the Sponsor Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any securities laws of the United States or any other
jurisdiction. The Investor shall provide the requested information set forth on Schedule A following the signature page hereto and the information contained therein is accurate and complete. The Investor is not an entity formed for the
specific purpose of acquiring the PIPE Shares or the Sponsor Shares. The term “affiliate” or “affiliated” as used in this Agreement shall mean, with respect to any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, joint
stock company, unincorporated organization or association, trust, joint venture or other similar entity, whether or not a legal entity, or governmental entity (a “person”), any other person who directly or indirectly, through one or more
intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such person. The term “control” as used in this Agreement shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the
management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms “controlled” and “controlling” have meanings correlative thereto.
(b) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the PIPE Shares (as issued by the Company) and the Sponsor Shares (as transferred by the Sponsor) are being offered in a transaction not
involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the issuance of the PIPE Shares and the transfer of the Sponsor Shares by the Sponsor has not been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable
securities laws. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the PIPE Shares and, prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Sponsor Shares, may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Investor absent
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (i) to the Company or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the
Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each of clauses (i) and (iii) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions
of the United States, and that any book entries representing the PIPE Shares, and prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Sponsor Shares, shall contain a restrictive legend to such effect. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the
PIPE Shares and, prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Sponsor Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge
or otherwise dispose of the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the
PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been
advised to consult legal counsel and tax and accounting advisors prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge, transfer or disposition of any of the PIPE Shares or the Sponsor Shares. The Investor acknowledges that, prior to the closing of
the Business Combination, the Sponsor Shares are subject to the restrictions on transfer and redemption set forth in that certain Sponsor Side Letter, dated September 12, 2023, by and between the Company and the Sponsor, as such agreement may be
amended from time to time; the Investor explicitly agrees to comply with the terms of such agreement with respect to the Sponsor Shares prior to the closing of the Business Combination; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, following the
closing Business Combination the Investor shall not be subject to such transfer and redemption restrictions and no further approval or consent of the Company shall be to in respect of any offer, resale, transfer, pledge, transfer or disposition of
any of the Investor’s Sponsor Shares.
7
(c) The Investor’s acquisition and holding of the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any applicable similar law.
(d) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has received such information as the Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the PIPE
Shares and the Sponsor Shares, including, the Business Combination and the business of the Company and DevvStream. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the SEC Reports. The Investor
acknowledges and agrees that the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Investor and the Investor’s professional
advisor(s), if any, deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares.
(e) The Investor became aware of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement solely by means of direct contact between the Investor and the Company or a representative of the Company.
The Investor did not become aware of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor were the PIPE Shares or the Sponsor Shares offered to the Investor, by any other means and none of the Company or its representatives or any person acting on
behalf of any of them acted as investment advisor, broker or dealer to the Investor. The Investor acknowledges that the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are
not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is receiving the Sponsor Shares directly
from the Sponsor. The Investor further acknowledges that there have not been, and the Investor hereby agrees that it is not relying on, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to the Investor by or on behalf of the Company or the
Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements of the Company expressly set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement and of the Sponsor set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement.
(f) The Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares, including, without
limitation, those set forth in the SEC Reports. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares, and the
Investor has had an opportunity to seek, and has sought such accounting, legal, business and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision and the Investor has made its own assessment and satisfied
itself concerning relevant tax and other economic considerations relative to its purchase of the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares. The Investor (i) is an institutional account as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c), (ii) is a sophisticated investor,
experienced in investing in private equity transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, and (iii) has
exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares. The Investor is able to sustain a complete loss on its investment in the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares, has no need for
liquidity with respect to its investment in the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares and has no reason to anticipate any change in circumstances, financial or otherwise, which may cause or require any sale or distribution of all or any part of the
PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares.
8
(g) Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares and
determined that the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in the
Company. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
(h) In making its decision to acquire the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares, the Investor has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Investor. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Investor has not relied on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf of any placement agent or any of its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners,
agents or representatives of any of the foregoing concerning the Company, DevvStream, the Business Combination, the Business Combination Agreement, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the PIPE Shares or Sponsor
Shares.

incorporation, with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Investor has sufficient funds to pay the Subscription Amount.
(k) The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are within the powers of the Investor, have been duly authorized and
will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which the Investor is
a party or by which the Investor is bound, and, if the Investor is not an individual, will not conflict with or violate any provisions of the Investor’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its incorporation or formation papers,
bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. (A) The signature on this Agreement is genuine, (B) the signatory of this Agreement, if the Investor is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to
execute the same or, if the Investor is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, (C) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Investor or the investment advisor to which the Investor has
delegated decision making authority over investments and (D) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise

Prospectus”) available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of FIAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of FIAC’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a
trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of FIAC, its public shareholders and the underwriters of FIAC’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to FIAC
to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Final Prospectus. For and in consideration of FIAC entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Investor, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust
Account (or distributions therefrom to FIAC’s public shareholders or to the underwriters of FIAC’s initial public offering in respect of their deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account), and agrees not to seek recourse against the
Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability; provided, however, that nothing
in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of publicly traded Class A Shares acquired in an open market
transaction, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such Class A Shares, in accordance with FIAC’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as may be subsequently amended from time to time, and the Investment
Management Trust Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and FIAC, dated November 1, 2021, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed in writing with FIAC or any of their respective affiliates to not
exercise such redemption right.
9. Miscellaneous.
(a) Neither this Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder may be transferred or assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after notifying the Company, Investor may
assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its affiliates or, with the Company’s prior written consent, to another person, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Investor of its obligations hereunder if any
such assignee fails to perform such obligations.
11
(b) The Investor acknowledges that the Company and the Sponsor will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement,
including Schedule A hereto. Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify the Company in writing (email being sufficient) if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations or warranties set forth in
Section 6 above are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Investor shall notify the Company if
they are no longer accurate in any respect).
(c) The Investor agrees that, from the date hereof until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, none of the Investor or any person or entity acting on behalf of the
Investor or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor will engage in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or
combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or similar instrument, including without limitation equity repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements, however described or defined) designed or intended, or
which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale, loan, pledge or other disposition or transfer (whether by the Investor or any other person), in each case, solely to the extent it has the same economic effect as a “short sale”
(as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act), of any economic consequences of ownership (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any consequences resulting solely from foreign exchange fluctuations), in whole or
in part, directly or indirectly, physically or synthetically, of any securities of the Company or DevvStream prior to the Closing, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of
securities of the Company or DevvStream, in cash or otherwise, or to publicly disclose the intention to undertake any of the foregoing.
(d) The Investor acknowledges that any Sponsor Shares held by it, her or him, as applicable, are not redeemable prior to the closing of the Business Combination.
(e) The Investor agrees that he, she or it, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to make any voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect (whether through a change of control of the
transferor or any person that controls such transferor, the issuance or transfer of equity securities of the transferor, by operation of law or otherwise), transfer, sale, pledge or hypothecation or other disposition (each, a “Transfer”), or
to permit any Transfer, of any Sponsor Shares; provided, that the Investor shall be permitted to distribute the Sponsor Shares to its members or otherwise to an Affiliate of the Investor, so long as any member or Affiliate of the
Investor in receipt of Sponsor Shares prior to or simultaneously with the Transfer enters into a written agreement reasonably acceptable to the parties hereto agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if a party hereto; and provided,
further, that if such written agreement is not executed and delivered to the parties hereto, such distribution of the Sponsor Shares shall not be permitted hereunder.
(f) The Company, the Sponsor and DevvStream are entitled to rely upon this Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party
in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
12
(g) All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.
(h) This Agreement may not be terminated other than pursuant to the terms of Section 7 above. The provisions of this Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived except by an
instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto. No failure or delay of either party hereto in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties
hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.
(i) This Agreement including the schedule hereto constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and
oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns, except that DevvStream shall be a
third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
(j) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal
representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal
representatives and permitted assigns.
(k) If any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.
(l) This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including, without limitation, by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate
counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(m) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage may occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce
specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that parties shall be
entitled to seek to specifically enforce the other parties’ obligations hereunder on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

Agreement or any Non-Party Affiliate except for the Company and Sponsor, shall have any liability to the Investor, or to any other investor, pursuant to, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation hereof or thereof or its
subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, with respect to any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the acquisition of the PIPE

days of the closing of the Business Combination, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the PIPE Shares (the “Registration
Statement”), and have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earliest of (i) the 60th business day (or 105th business day if the SEC notifies the Company that it
will “review” the Registration Statement) following the closing of the Business Combination and (ii) the 5th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration
Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. Upon notification by the SEC that the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, within two (2) business days thereafter, the Company shall file a
final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act. The Company shall not identify the Investor as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to keep the
Registration Statement covering the resale of the PIPE Shares as described above continuously effective (except for customary blackout periods, up to twice per year and for a total of up to 60 business days (and not more than 45 business days in
an occurrence), if and when the Company is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s board of directors, would be prejudicial, and the Company agrees to promptly notify
the Investor of any such blackout determination) until all such shares have been sold or may be transferred without any restrictions including the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under
Rule 144(c)(1) or Rule 144(i)(2) or the volume and manner of sale limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided that Company covenants and agrees to make all necessary filings, amendments, supplements and submissions in
furtherance of the foregoing, including to register all of the Investor’s PIPE Shares for resale. The Investor will promptly deliver customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company, its counsel and/or its
transfer agent in connection with the Registration Statement, including those related to selling shareholders and to respond to SEC comments.

the extent permitted by law, the Investor, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto
or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the
Company by the Investor expressly for use therein.
13. Disclosure. The Company shall within four business
days following the date of this Agreement, issue one or more press releases or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby.
