Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of HoldCo Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Stock Split, and such holders of HoldCo Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share (after giving effect to the allocation of Earn-out Shares among the First Target Earn-out Shares, the Second Target Earn-out Shares and the Third Target Earn-out Shares as provided in Section 2.10(a) and Section 2.10(b)) shall have their shareholdings of HoldCo Common Stock (including Earn-out Shares) (A) rounded up to the nearest whole share in the event that the fractional share of HoldCo Common Stock that otherwise would be so issued is greater than or equal to five-tenths (0.5) of a share and (B) rounded down to the nearest whole share in the event that the fractional share of HoldCo Common Stock that otherwise would be so issued is less than five-tenths (0.5) of a share.

Section 2.10. Earn-Out Shares.

(a) In the case of Earn-out Shares issued in respect of shares of HoldCo Common Stock held immediately prior to the consummation of the Stock Split pursuant to Section 2.2(e), the allocation of Earn-out Shares among the First Target Earn-out Shares, the Second Target Earn-out Shares and the Third Target Earn-out Shares shall be calculated in accordance with Section 2.10(b) as percentages of the aggregate number of such Earn-out Shares issued to each holder thereof.

(b) Subject to Section 2.10(a) and the last sentence of Section 2.2(e), the Earn-out Shares shall be composed as follows: (i) 20% of the applicable Earn-out Shares shall be subject to the vesting conditions specified in Section 2.10(c)(i) (the “First Target Earn-out Shares”), (ii) an additional 30% of the applicable Earn-out Shares shall be subject to the vesting conditions specified in Section 2.10(c)(ii) (the “Second Target Earn-out Shares”), and (iii) the remaining 50% of the applicable Earn-out Shares shall be subject to the vesting conditions set forth in Section 2.10(c)(iii) (the “Third Target Earn-out Shares”).

(i) If, at any time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is three years after the Closing Date (the “Earn-out Period”), the HoldCo Trading Price is greater than or equal to $12.50 for any 20 Trading Days within any period of 30 consecutive Trading Days, the First Target Earn-out Shares shall immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture as provided in Section 2.10(e).

(ii) If, at any time during the Earn-out Period, the HoldCo Trading Price is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any 20 Trading Days within any period of 30 consecutive Trading Days, the Second Target Earn-out Shares shall immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture as provided in Section 2.10(e).

(iii) If, at any time during the Earn-out Period, the HoldCo Trading Price is greater than or equal to $17.50 for any 20 Trading Days within any period of 30 consecutive Trading Days, the Third Target Earn-out Shares shall immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture as provided in Section 2.10(e).

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions set forth in more than one of Section 2.10(c)(i), Section 2.10(c)(ii) and Section 2.10(c)(iii) have been satisfied at any time, then all of the Earn-out Shares subject to such satisfied vesting conditions shall immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture as provided in Section 2.10(e).

(e) If, upon the expiration of the Earn-out Period, the vesting of any of the Earn-out Shares has not occurred, then the applicable Earn-out Shares that failed to vest pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(i), Section 2.10(c)(ii) or Section 2.10(c)(iii), as applicable, and any dividends or distributions previously paid or made in respect thereof shall be automatically forfeited and transferred to HoldCo for no consideration, and no Person (other than HoldCo) shall have any further right with respect thereto. Unless otherwise required by Law, any such forfeiture is intended to be treated for applicable U.S. income tax purposes as an adjustment to the HoldCo Stock that was issued in exchange for the relevant Company Shares pursuant to the Exchange.

(f) If, during the Earn-out Period, the shares of HoldCo Common Stock outstanding as of immediately following the Merger Effective Time shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class or type of security (by reason of any Equity Adjustment or otherwise) or any similar event shall have occurred, then the applicable HoldCo Trading Price specified in each of Section 2.10(c)(i), Section 2.10(c)(ii) and Section 2.10(c)(iii) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

(g) In the event that there is HoldCo Sale during the Earn-out Period, then, to the extent that the holders of shares of HoldCo Common Stock receive a HoldCo Sale Price in respect of such shares that is greater than or equal to the applicable HoldCo Trading Price specified in Section 2.10(c)(i), Section 2.10(c)(ii) or Section 2.10(c)(iii) (subject to Section 2.10(f)), any Earn-out Shares that have not previously vested in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(i), Section 2.10(c)(ii) or Section 2.10(c)(iii), as applicable, shall be deemed to have vested, immediately prior to the closing of such HoldCo Sale, to the extent that such Earn-out Shares would have vested pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(i), Section 2.10(c)(ii) or Section 2.10(c)(iii), as applicable, if the HoldCo Trading Price had been the HoldCo Sale Price for any 20 Trading Days within any period of 30 consecutive Trading Days during the Earn-out Period, and the holders of any Earn-out Shares deemed vested pursuant to this Section 2.10(g) shall be eligible to participate in such HoldCo Sale with respect to such Earn-out Shares on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as apply to the holders of shares of HoldCo Common Stock generally.

(h) For so long as any Earn-out Share remains subject to the vesting and forfeiture conditions specified in this Section 2.10, (i) the holder thereof shall be entitled to exercise the voting rights carried by such Earn-out Share and (ii) the holder thereof shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions in respect of such Earn-out Share, and any dividends or distributions paid or made in respect of such Earn-out Share shall be retained by HoldCo and invested as and to the extent determined by HoldCo and shall be paid or made to the holder of such Earn-out Share only when and to the extent that such Earn-out Share vests in accordance with Section 2.10(c), and, to the extent that such Earn-out Share fails to vest in accordance with Section 2.10(c) prior to the expiration of the Earn-out Period, any dividends or distributions paid or made in respect thereof shall be forfeited to HoldCo for no consideration, and no Person (other than HoldCo) shall have any further right with respect thereto.

Section 2.11. Incentive Earn-Out Shares.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the effective date of the applicable Form S‑8 for the Performance Incentive Plan, each holder of a HoldCo Option who is then employed by HoldCo or one of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Incentive Earn-out Unit Awardee”) shall be granted an award of a number of performance share units (each, an “Incentive Earn-out Unit”) under the Performance Incentive Plan equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Holdco Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Stock Split covered by the HoldCo Option held by such Incentive Earn-out Unit Awardee multiplied by (ii) the Earn-out Exchange Ratio (which product shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share as provided in Section 2.11(f), if applicable). Upon the achievement of the Incentive Earn-out Share Conditions with respect to a given Incentive Earn-out Unit, the holder of the applicable Incentive Earn-out Unit shall receive an Earn-out Share (the Earn-out Shares issued to the Incentive Earn-out Unit Awardees, collectively, the “Incentive Earn-out Shares”).

(b) The “Incentive Earn-out Share Conditions” shall be considered satisfied with respect to the Incentive Earn-out Shares underlying an Incentive Earn-out Unit upon (i) the satisfaction of Section 2.10(c)(i), Section 2.10(c)(ii) and Section 2.10(c)(iii), as applicable (taking into account Sections 2.10(c) through (f)), and (ii) the applicable holder’s continued service with the Company for the same time period as required in order for the Holdco Option (or applicable portion thereof) corresponding to such Incentive Earn-out Share to vest and be exercisable (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will in no event be prior to the effective date of the applicable Form S‑8). For purposes of such vesting, the allocation of Incentive Earn-out Shares among the First Target Earn-out Shares, the Second Target Earn-out Shares and the Third Target Earn-out Shares shall be calculated in accordance with Section 2.10(b) as percentages of the aggregate number of such Incentive Earn-out Units issued to each Incentive Earn-out Unit Awardee, and the allocation of the Incentive Earn-out Shares among any service-based vesting tranches described in the foregoing clause (ii) shall be determined on a proportionate basis consistent with the corresponding HoldCo Option.

(c) In the event that there is HoldCo Sale during the Earn-out Period, then, to the extent that the holders of shares of HoldCo Common Stock receive a HoldCo Sale Price in respect of such shares that is greater than or equal to the applicable HoldCo Trading Price specified in Section 2.10(c)(i), Section 2.10(c)(ii) or Section 2.10(c)(iii) (subject to Section 2.10(f)), any Incentive Earn-out Units that have not previously vested in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to have vested to the extent that such Incentive Earn-out Units would have vested pursuant to this Section 2.11, if the HoldCo Trading Price had been the HoldCo Sale Price for any 20 Trading Days within any period of 30 consecutive Trading Days during the Earn-out Period immediately prior to the closing of such HoldCo Sale (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the service-based vesting condition on the Incentive Earn-out Units shall no longer apply) and all Incentive Earn-out Shares shall be entitled to be issued in accordance with their terms, and the holders of any Incentive Earn-out Units (or the Incentive Earn-out Shares received in connection therewith as a result of this Section 2.11(c)) shall be eligible to participate in such HoldCo Sale in accordance with the terms of the Performance Incentive Plan.

(d) For so long as any Incentive Earn-out Unit remains subject to the vesting and forfeiture conditions specified in this Section 2.11, (i) the Incentive Earn-out Unit Awardee shall not be entitled to exercise the voting rights carried by the underlying Incentive Earn-out Shares and (ii) the Incentive Earn-out Unit Awardee shall not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions in respect of such Incentive Earn-out Shares, and dividend equivalents in respect of the Incentive Earn-out Units, if any, shall be paid or made to the Incentive Earn-out Unit Awardee only when and to the extent that the Incentive Earn-out Unit vests in accordance with this Section 2.11 (and, in all events, in accordance with Section 409A of the Code), and, to the extent that such Incentive Earn-out Units fail to vest in accordance with this Section 2.11 prior to the expiration of the Earn-out Period, any dividend equivalents shall be forfeited to HoldCo for no consideration, and no Person (other than HoldCo) shall have any further rights with respect thereto.

(e) If, upon the termination of service of any Incentive Earn-out Unit Awardee, the satisfaction of the Incentive Earn-out Share Conditions has not occurred with respect to any of the Incentive Earn-out Units held thereby, then the applicable Incentive Earn-out Units, and any dividend equivalents in respect thereof, if any, shall be automatically forfeited and transferred to HoldCo for no consideration, and no Person (other than HoldCo) shall have any further right with respect thereto.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of HoldCo Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Incentive Earn-out Units, and Incentive Earn-out Unit Awardees otherwise entitled to a fractional share (after giving effect to the allocation of Incentive Earn-out Shares among the First Target Earn-out Shares, the Second Target Earn-out Shares and the Third Target Earn-out Shares as provided in Section 2.10(a) and Section 2.10(b)) shall have their Incentive Earn-out Shares (A) rounded up to the nearest whole share in the event that the fractional share of HoldCo Common Stock that otherwise would be so issued is greater than or equal to five-tenths (0.5) of a share and (B) rounded down to the nearest whole share in the event that the fractional share of HoldCo Common Stock that otherwise would be so issued is less than five-tenths (0.5) of a share. For the avoidance of doubt, the Incentive Earn-out Unit Awardees have no right to the Incentive Earn-out Units directly as a result of their holding of the HoldCo Options or the treatment thereof in connection with the Transactions, and any right to the Incentive Earn-out Units (or the underlying Incentive Earn-out Shares) is solely as a result of the terms of this Agreement and the underlying award agreement pursuant to the Performance Incentive Plan.

There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other arrangements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in SPAC SEC Filings to be inaccurate or that would entitle any Person (other than SPAC Shareholders holding SPAC Ordinary Shares in connection with any SPAC Share Redemption, the underwriters of SPAC’s initial public offering with respect to deferred underwriting commissions and any other amounts set forth on Section 5.9 of the SPAC Disclosure Letter) 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 other than to pay Taxes and payments with respect to all SPAC Share Redemptions. There are no claims or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of SPAC, threatened with respect to the Trust Account. SPAC has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and is not in default, breach or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the Trust Agreement, and no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default or breach thereunder. As of the Merger Effective Time, the obligations of SPAC to dissolve or liquidate pursuant to SPAC’s Governing Documents shall terminate, and as of the Merger Effective Time, SPAC shall have no obligation whatsoever pursuant to SPAC’s Governing Documents to dissolve and liquidate the assets of SPAC by reason of the consummation of the Transactions. To SPAC’s knowledge, as of the date hereof, following the Merger Effective Time, no SPAC Shareholder shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account except to the extent such SPAC Shareholder is exercising an SPAC Share Redemption. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder, SPAC does not have any 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.

Without limiting the foregoing, HoldCo shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Merger Effective Time provisions in its Governing Documents concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of HoldCo’s and its Subsidiaries’ former and current officers, directors, employees, and agents that are substantially identical to the applicable provisions set forth in the Second Amended and Restated HoldCo Certificate of Incorporation or that otherwise are no less favorable in the aggregate to those Persons than the provisions in the respective Governing Documents of the Company, its Subsidiaries and SPAC (including SPAC Successor), as applicable, concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) applicable to such Persons (if any), in each case, as of the date of this Agreement, and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Law or the rules and regulations of any securities exchange on which HoldCo Common Stock is listed. HoldCo shall assume, and be liable for, each of the covenants in this Section 8.7.

(b) For a period of six (6) years from the Merger Effective Time, HoldCo shall maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those Persons who are currently covered by SPAC’s (including SPAC Successor’s), the Company’s, HoldCo’s, Merger Sub 1’s, Merger Sub 2’s or their respective Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (true, correct and complete copies of which have been heretofore made available to the Company or its agents or representatives) on terms not less favorable in the aggregate than the terms of such current insurance coverage, except that in no event shall HoldCo be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of, in the case of the SPAC’s (including SPAC Successors), directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, $1,750,000, or, in the case of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, 350% of the annual premium payable by the Company for such insurance policies for the year ended December 31, 2021; provided, however, that (i) if the premium for such insurance would exceed such amount or such coverage is not otherwise available, then HoldCo shall purchase and maintain the maximum coverage available in the amount of, in the case of the SPAC’s (including SPAC Successors), directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, $1,750,000, or, in the case of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, 350% of the annual premium payable by the Company for such insurance policies for the year ended December 31, 2021, (ii) HoldCo may satisfy its obligations pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.7(b) by causing coverage to be extended under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a six (6) year “tail” policy containing terms not materially less favorable in the aggregate than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the Merger Effective Time and (iii) if any claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 8.7 shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

109

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 8.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on HoldCo and all successors and assigns of HoldCo. In the event that HoldCo or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or Surviving Company or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, HoldCo shall ensure that proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of HoldCo shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 8.7.

(d) On or prior to the Closing Date, HoldCo shall enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to each of the Company and SPAC with each Person who shall be a director or officer of HoldCo immediately following the Closing, which indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective following the Closing.

Section 8.8. Actions Under Deed of Irrevocable Undertaking.

(a) The Company shall procure that each of its directors and officers, in its capacity as the attorney-in-fact of each Company Investor, pursuant to the powers of attorney granted to such person pursuant to each Deed of Irrevocable Undertaking, and to the extent permitted thereby, in connection with and to facilitate the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Ancillary Agreements, to the extent necessary or desirable, make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings (including any amendments or modifications to, waivers of, or consents in connection with, this Agreement or any applicable Ancillary Agreement), and, in general, do any and all things and take any and all action necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the Transactions on behalf of the Company Investors (but, in each, case subject to the terms and conditions hereunder and under the applicable Deed of Irrevocable Undertaking). From and after the date each Deed of Irrevocable Undertaking is entered into, Holdco agrees that it shall enforce any rights or benefits on behalf of SPAC under each Deed of Irrevocable Undertaking and shall not (unless previously consented to by Sponsor in writing) amend, repeal or otherwise modify any Deed of Irrevocable Undertaking.

110

Each of the other Parties shall be entitled to rely conclusively, without inquiry, on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Company Investor by any director or officer of the Company or Holdco and on any other decision, action, omission, consent or instruction taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Company Investor by any director of officer of the Company or Holdco as fully binding on such Company Investor, and each of the other Parties is hereby relieved from any liability to any Person in accordance with the foregoing, all of which shall be legally binding upon the Company Investors, and no Company Investor shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Notice given to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute notice to the Company Investors for all purposes under this Agreement or, except as otherwise expressly provided therein, any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 8.9. Registration of HoldCo Shares Issued in the Exchange. Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, HoldCo shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC (at HoldCo’s expense) a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form S-1 or other appropriate form (the “Resale Registration Statement”), in each case, covering the resale of the HoldCo Common Stock (including the Earn-out Shares) acquired by the Company Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement (the “Registrable Shares”), (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof and (c) use commercially reasonable effort to maintain the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement until such Registrable Shares can be resold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”); provided, however, that HoldCo’s obligations to include the Registrable Shares of any Company Shareholder in the Resale Registration Statement are contingent upon such Company Shareholder furnishing in writing to HoldCo such information regarding such Company Shareholder or its permitted assigns and related matters as shall be reasonably requested by HoldCo to effect the registration of the Registrable Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents HoldCo from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Resale Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act, such Resale Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Registrable Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Registrable Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Registrable Shares to be registered for each Company Shareholder named in the Resale Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Registrable Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, HoldCo shall amend the Resale Registration Statement or file a new Resale Registration Statement to register such Registrable Shares not included in the initial Resale Registration Statement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have such amendment or Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. As soon as is reasonably practicable upon notification by the SEC that the Resale Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, HoldCo shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, HoldCo shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, the Resale Registration Statement if it reasonably determines that in order for the Resale Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, (i) an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by HoldCo or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the HoldCo Board reasonably believes would require additional disclosure by HoldCo in the Resale Registration Statement of material information that HoldCo has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Resale Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the HoldCo Board to cause the Resale Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, or (iii) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the HoldCo Board, such filing or effectiveness or use of such Resale Registration Statement, would be seriously detrimental to HoldCo and the majority of the HoldCo Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer such filing; provided HoldCo shall not delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, the Resale Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, in each case, in any 12-month period.

SPAC also agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the Transactions, and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company, its Subsidiaries and any of their respective members or shareholders as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.

Each Party shall provide the other Parties and their respective counsel with (A) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that such Party or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement or Offer Documents as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt of such comments or other communications and (B) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response to such comments and to provide comments on such response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with the other Party or its counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC.

118

(iii) Each of HoldCo, SPAC and the Company shall ensure that none of the information supplied by or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (A) the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC, at each time at which it is amended and at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading or (B) the Proxy Statement will, at the date it is first mailed to SPAC Shareholders and at the time of SPAC Extraordinary General Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

119

(b) SPAC Shareholder Approval. SPAC shall, in accordance with applicable Law and Nasdaq rules, (a) as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, (i) cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to SPAC Shareholders in compliance with applicable Law and Nasdaq rules, (ii) duly (1) give notice of and (2) convene and hold an extraordinary general meeting of SPAC Shareholders (the “SPAC Extraordinary General Meeting”) in accordance with SPAC’s Governing Documents and Nasdaq rules for a date no later than thirty (30) Business Days following the date the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, and (iii) solicit proxies from the holders of SPAC Ordinary Shares to vote in favor of each of the Transaction Proposals, and (b) provide SPAC Shareholders with the opportunity to elect to effect a SPAC Share Redemption.

SPAC Board shall not withdraw, amend, qualify or modify its recommendation to SPAC Shareholders that they vote in favor of the Transaction Proposals (together with any withdrawal, amendment, qualification or modification of its recommendation to SPAC Shareholders described in the Recitals hereto, a “Modification in Recommendation”); provided that the SPAC Board may make a withdrawal of such recommendation or an amendment, qualification or modification of such recommendation if it determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, solely on the basis of Events that first became known (or the consequences of which first became known) to the SPAC or the SPAC Board after the date of this Agreement, a failure to make a Modification in Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the SPAC Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law (a “Permitted Withdrawal”).

Section 10.4. Tax Matters.

(a) The Parties agree that, for U.S. federal (and, as applicable, state and local) income tax purposes, it is intended that, to the greatest extent permitted by Law, (i) the Domestication Merger shall be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code and this Agreement is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Section 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder with respect thereto, (ii) the Exchange and the Business Combination Merger, taken together, shall be treated as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code and (iii) the Business Combination Merger shall be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and this Agreement is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Section 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder with respect thereto. Neither Party is aware of any facts, circumstances or plans of which the other Party is not aware that, either alone or in combination, could reasonably be expected to prevent the Transactions from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties will not take any action that is not specifically contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or fail to take any action, if the Parties are aware or have been advised by their Tax advisors that such action or the failure to take such action could reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or impede the Intended Tax Treatment and will not take any inconsistent position for Tax purposes unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code. So long as there has not been an agreement by Sponsor, SPAC, and HoldCo (acting reasonably and in good faith) that the Intended Tax Treatment is not permitted by Law or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code that the tax treatment is not permitted by Law, Holdco, the Surviving Company and each of their respective Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to comply with the covenants set forth in Annex A.

121

(b) HoldCo, SPAC and the Company shall deliver to Xxxxxx and/or Xxxxx Xxxx, as relevant, customary Tax representation letters reasonably satisfactory to such counsel, dated and executed as of the date the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC and such other date(s) as determined reasonably necessary by such counsel in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

(c) Each of the Parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to procure that, for UK tax purposes, the Initial Exchange qualifies for the Intended U.K. Tax treatment.

(d) On the Closing Date, (i) each of SPAC Successor and the Company shall provide HoldCo with a certification satisfying the requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.897‑2(h) and 1.1445‑2(c)(3), in the case of SPAC Successor, on behalf of itself, and in the case of the Company, on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries that is classified for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as a “domestic corporation” that SPAC Successor or such Subsidiary, as applicable, is not, nor has it been within the period described in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code, a “United States real property holding corporation” as defined in Section 897(c)(2) of the Code and an accompanying notice to the Internal Revenue Service satisfying the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.897‑2(h)(2) and (ii) the Company shall provide to HoldCo (x) a properly signed certification in form and substance required under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-11T, stating that either (A) fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the gross assets of the Company does not consist of U.S. real property interests within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (“USRPIs”) or (B) ninety percent (90%) or more of the value of the gross assets of the Company does not consist of USRPIs plus cash or cash equivalents and (y) a properly completed certification from the Company pursuant to Section 1446(f) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.1446(f)-2(b)(4)(i)(B); provided, however, that if SPAC or the Company fail to deliver any such certificate, the Transactions shall nonetheless be able to close and HoldCo shall be entitled to withhold from any consideration paid pursuant to this Agreement the amount required to be withheld under Section 1445 or Section 1446, as applicable, of the Code.

122

(e) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, real property, stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax, registration and other similar Taxes, fees and costs (including any associated penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement that are payable by SPAC, HoldCo, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, the Company or its Subsidiaries (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by HoldCo and paid when due. As soon as reasonably practicable after completion of the Initial Exchange, HoldCo shall submit to HM Revenue & Customs a claim for relief from stamp duty under Section 77 of the United Kingdom Finance Xxx 0000. Each of the Parties shall (i) cooperate to obtain any additional confirmations from any relevant Governmental Authority in relation to Transfer Taxes that they consider (acting reasonably) to be necessary in connection with the Transactions and (ii) cooperate and file, at the expense of HoldCo, all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all such Transfer Taxes.

(f) HoldCo will use commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing to provide the pre‑Closing SPAC Shareholders information that is reasonably required to (i) determine the amount that is required to be taken into income in connection with Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(b)‑3 as a result of the Domestication Merger, (ii) make the election contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(b)‑3(c)(3) and (iii) make a timely and valid election as contemplated by Section 1295 of the Code (and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) with respect to SPAC for each year that SPAC is considered a passive foreign investment company (including through provision of the Annual Information Statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1295‑1(g)).

(g) Each of the Parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to promptly notify all other Parties of any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental Authority. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate in good faith with each other and their respective counsel to document and support the Intended Tax Treatment, including providing reasonable and customary factual support letters. Further, each of the Parties shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another Party, in connection with the filing of relevant Tax Returns, and any audit or tax proceeding. Such cooperation may include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision (with the right to make copies) of records and information reasonably relevant to any tax proceeding or audit, making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

Section 10.5. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Domestication Effective Time, each of HoldCo or the Company (as applicable) and SPAC shall take all such steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) to cause any acquisitions or dispositions of equity securities of SPAC Successor, HoldCo or SPAC, as applicable (including, in each case, securities deliverable upon exercise, vesting or settlement of any derivative securities), that occurs or is deemed to occur by reason of the Transactions by each individual who is or may become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act in connection with the Transactions to be exempt under Rule 16b‑3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

123

Section 10.6. Form 8-K Filings. SPAC and the Company shall mutually agree upon and issue a press release announcing the effectiveness of this Agreement (the “Signing Press Release”). SPAC and the Company shall cooperate in good faith with respect to the prompt preparation of, and, as promptly as practicable after the effective date of this Agreement (but in any event within four (4) Business Days thereafter), SPAC shall file with the SEC, a Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act to report the execution of this Agreement as of its effective date (the “Announcement 8-K”). Prior to Closing, SPAC and the Company shall mutually agree upon and prepare the press release announcing the consummation of the Transactions (“Closing Press Release”). Concurrently with or promptly after the Closing, HoldCo shall issue the Closing Press Release. SPAC, HoldCo and the Company shall cooperate in good faith with respect to the preparation of, and, at least five (5) days prior to the Closing, HoldCo shall prepare a draft Form 8-K announcing the Closing, together with, or incorporating by reference, the required pro forma financial statements and the historical financial statements prepared by SPAC and the Company and their respective accountants (the “Completion 8-K”). Concurrently with the Closing, or as soon as practicable (but in any event within four (4) Business Days) thereafter, HoldCo shall file the Completion 8-K with the SEC.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and to applicable Laws, prior to the Closing, the Parties shall cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action (including executing and delivering and documents, certificates, instruments and other papers that are necessary for the consummation of the Transactions), and do, or cause to be done, and assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Transactions. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use its and their commercially reasonable efforts to send the requisite notices to or to solicit and obtain the consents of, as applicable, the contractual counterparties to the Contracts listed on Section 10.7 of the Company Disclosure Letter prior to the Closing; provided, however, that no Party nor any of their Affiliates shall be required to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any such consent may be required (unless such payment is explicitly required in accordance with the terms of the relevant Contract requiring such consent); provided, further, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that the failure to obtain any such consents is not, and shall not be, a condition to Closing.

Section 10.8. Employee Matters.

(a) Equity Plans. Prior to the effectiveness of the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement, HoldCo shall approve and adopt, in each case, effective as of the Closing Date, the following documents:

(i) an incentive equity plan with an award pool comprising a number of shares of HoldCo Common Stock equal to the sum of (A) the difference of (x) 12.5% of the Fully Diluted HoldCo Post-Closing Shares Outstanding (calculated after giving effect to all of the Transactions and this Section 10.8(a)) as of immediately following the Merger Effective Time minus (y) the number of shares of HoldCo Common Stock subject to Holdco Options substituted for Company Options that are unvested as of immediately following the Merger Effective Time plus (B) an annual “evergreen” increase equal to 4.5% of the Fully Diluted HoldCo Post-Closing Shares Outstanding (calculated after giving effect to this Section 10.8(a)) as of the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year (the “Incentive Award Plan”);

124

(ii) an additional performance incentive equity plan (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be separate from, and in addition to, the Incentive Award Plan and any HoldCo Options) pursuant to which (A) an award, in the form of the PSU Agreement, in respect of a number of shares of HoldCo Common Stock equal to 3% of the Fully Diluted HoldCo Post-Closing Shares Outstanding (calculated after giving effect to all of the Transactions and this Section 10.8(a)) as of immediately following the Merger Effective Time will be granted to the Person identified on Section 10.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Founder”) or, at the discretion of the Company Board, one or more members of senior management of the Company identified by the Founder and (B) the Incentive Earn-out Units, in respect of the aggregate number of Incentive Earn-out Shares, will be granted to the Incentive Earn-out Unit Awardees in accordance with Section 2.11 (the “Performance Incentive Plan”);

(iii) an employee stock purchase plan with an initial award pool of 2% of the Fully Diluted HoldCo Post-Closing Shares Outstanding (calculated after giving effect to all of the Transactions and this Section 10.8(a)) as of immediately following the Merger Effective Time, an annual “evergreen” increase equal to 1% of the Fully Diluted HoldCo Post-Closing Shares Outstanding (calculated after giving effect to this Section 10.8(a)) as of the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year and otherwise with such terms as determined by Holdco following discussions in good faith with SPAC (such employee stock purchase plan, together with the Incentive Award Plan and the Performance Incentive Plan, the “Incentive Equity Plans”);

(iv) a (A) form of stock option agreement and (B) form of restricted stock unit agreement for purposes of the Incentive Award Plan; and

(v) a form of performance-vesting restricted stock unit agreement for purposes of the Performance Incentive Plan (a “PSU Agreement”), which shall provide for the grant of performance-vesting restricted stock units (“PSUs”) that vest as follows: (A) 25% of the PSUs shall vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture if, at any time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is five years after the Closing Date (the “Performance Vesting Period”), the HoldCo Trading Price is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any 20 Trading Days within any period of 30 consecutive Trading Days, (B) 25% of the PSUs shall vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture if, at any time during the Performance Vesting Period, the HoldCo Trading Price is greater than or equal to $20.00 for any 20 Trading Days within any period of 30 consecutive Trading Days, and (C) 50% of the PSUs shall vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture if, at any time during the Performance Vesting Period, the HoldCo Trading Price is greater than or equal to $30.00 for any 20 Trading Days within any period of 30 consecutive Trading Days, in each case, subject to the Founder’s continued provision of services to HoldCo or one or more of its Subsidiaries through the applicable vesting date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the vesting conditions set forth in more than one of clauses (A), (B) and (C) of the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied at any time, then all of the PSUs subject to such satisfied vesting conditions shall immediately vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture as provided in the next succeeding sentence. If, upon the expiration of the Performance Vesting Period, the vesting of any of the PSUs has not occurred, then the applicable PSUs that failed to vest shall be automatically forfeited for no consideration. The provisions of Section 2.10(f) and Section 2.10(g) shall apply to the PSUs, mutatis mutandis.

125

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.8(a) to the contrary, each document described in Section 10.8(a) (x) will be in a form determined by the Company following discussions in good faith with SPAC (and taking into account the advice of a compensation consultant and customary benchmarking, as appropriate) and (y) shall be distributed to SPAC not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to HoldCo’s approval and adoption thereof.

ARTICLE 13

Miscellaneous

Section 13.1. Trust Account Waiver. The Company, HoldCo and Merger Sub 2 acknowledge that SPAC is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a Business Combination. The Company, HoldCo and Merger Sub 2 further acknowledge that, as described in SPAC’s final prospectus dated March 10, 2021 (the “Prospectus”) available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of SPAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of SPAC’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a the trust account for the benefit of SPAC, certain of its public shareholders and the underwriters of SPAC’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). Each of the Company, HoldCo and Merger Sub 2 acknowledges that it has been advised by SPAC that, except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to SPAC to pay its franchise Tax, income Tax and similar obligations, the Trust Agreement provides that cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only (i) if SPAC completes the transactions which constitute a Business Combination, then to those Persons and in such amounts as described in the Prospectus, (ii) if SPAC fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period and liquidates, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, to SPAC in limited amounts to permit SPAC to pay the costs and expenses of its liquidation and dissolution, and then to SPAC’s public shareholders and (iii) if SPAC holds a shareholder vote to amend SPAC’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to redeem 100% of SPAC Ordinary Shares if SPAC fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period, then for the redemption of any SPAC Ordinary Shares properly tendered in connection with such vote. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company, HoldCo and Merger Sub 2 hereby irrevocably waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they have or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agree 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 (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s, HoldCo’s or Merger Sub 2’s right to pursue a claim against SPAC for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions (including a claim for SPAC to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to SPAC Share Redemptions) to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect SPAC’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate SPAC Share Redemptions, or for fraud and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company, HoldCo or Merger Sub 2 may have in the future against SPAC’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds).
