(c) The Company, on the one hand, and SPAC, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for and pay one-half of the filing fees payable to the Governmental Authorities in connection with the Transactions, including such filing fees payable by an Acquisition Entity.

The Company, each Acquisition Entity and SPAC shall furnish all information concerning such party as SPAC and the Company may reasonably request in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Proxy/Registration Statement, including such information as may be required to prepare customary pro forma financial information.

Prior to the effective date of the Proxy/Registration Statement, the Company, SPAC and Holdco shall take all or any action required under any applicable federal or state securities Laws in connection with the issuance of Holdco Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

Each of SPAC, Holdco and the Company shall furnish to the other parties all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, officers, directors, managers, shareholders, and other equityholders and information regarding such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable or as may be reasonably requested in connection with the Proxy/Registration Statement, a current report of SPAC on Form 8-K or a current report of Holdco on Form 6-K pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the Transactions, or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of SPAC, Holdco, the Company or their respective Affiliates to any regulatory authority (including Nasdaq) in connection with the Transactions. Subject to Section11.6, the Company, on the one hand, and SPAC, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for and pay one-half of the cost for the preparation, filing and mailing of the Proxy/Registration Statement and other related fees. SPAC shall comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, any applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq, SPAC Governing Documents, and this Agreement in the distribution of the Proxy/Registration Statement, any solicitation of proxies thereunder, the calling and holding of the SPAC Shareholder Meeting and the SPAC Share Redemption.

(ii) Any filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy/Registration Statement will be mutually prepared and agreed upon by SPAC, Holdco and the Company.

SPAC and the Company shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) any response to comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy/Registration Statement and any amendments filed in response thereto.

(iii) If, at any time prior to the Closing, any event or circumstance relating to SPAC or its officers or directors is discovered by SPAC which should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy/Registration Statement, a current report of SPAC on Form 8-K or a current report of Holdco on Form 6-K, SPAC shall promptly inform the Company and Holdco. If, at any time prior to the Closing, any event or circumstance relating to an Acquisition Entity, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers or directors is discovered by an Acquisition Entity or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy/Registration Statement, a current report of SPAC on Form 8-K or a current report of Holdco on Form 6-K, the Company or Holdco, as the case may be, shall promptly inform SPAC. Thereafter, SPAC, Holdco and the Company shall promptly cooperate in the preparation of an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Proxy/Registration Statement describing or correcting such information and shall promptly file such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminate such amendment or supplement to the SPAC Shareholders.

(b) SPAC Shareholders’ Approval.

SPAC will use its reasonable best efforts to (A) solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, the plan of SPAC Merger, and the Transaction Proposals, including the SPAC Shareholders’ Approval, and will take all other action necessary or advisable to obtain such proxies and SPAC Shareholders’ Approval and (B) obtain the vote or consent of its Shareholders required by and in compliance with all applicable Law or Nasdaq rules (as applicable) and the SPAC Charter; provided that none of SPAC, Sponsor or any of their Affiliates shall be required to pay any additional consideration to any SPAC Shareholder in order to obtain the SPAC Shareholders’ Approval. SPAC shall consult with the Company regarding the record date and the date of the SPAC Shareholder Meeting and shall not adjourn or postpone the SPAC Shareholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that SPAC may adjourn or postpone the SPAC Shareholder Meeting without any such consent (1) to the extent necessary to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy/Registration Statement that SPAC reasonably determines (following consultation with the Company) is necessary to comply with applicable Laws, is provided to the SPAC Shareholders in advance of a vote on the adoption of this Agreement, (2) if, as of the time that the SPAC Shareholder Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient SPAC Ordinary Shares represented at such meeting (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the SPAC Shareholder Meeting, or (3) if, as of the time that the SPAC Shareholder Meeting is originally scheduled, adjournment or postponement of the SPAC Shareholder Meeting is necessary or advisable, in the sole determination by SPAC, to enable SPAC to solicit additional proxies required to obtain SPAC Shareholder Approval; and provided further that in addition to the exceptions specified in the foregoing proviso, SPAC may postpone or adjourn without the consent of the Company so long as the date of the SPAC Shareholder Meeting is not postponed or adjourned on more than two (2) occasions or more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days in connection with such postponement or adjournment. To the extent practicable, and in any event subject to the SPAC’s obligations under Law, SPAC shall provide the Company with reasonable updates with respect to the tabulated vote counts received by SPAC and the right to review and discuss all material communication sent to SPAC Shareholders and holders of SPAC Warrants with respect to the SPAC Shareholder Meeting.

The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to solicit the Company Shareholder Resolution from the Company Shareholders, and to take all other action necessary or advisable to obtain the Company Shareholder Resolution and to secure the vote or consent of its shareholders required by and in compliance with all applicable Law or Nasdaq rules and the Company Governing Documents; provided that none of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be required to pay or provide any additional consideration to any Company Shareholder in order to obtain the Company Shareholder Resolution. To the extent practicable and subject to the Company’s obligations under Law, the Company shall provide SPAC with reasonable updates to SPAC regarding the status of and any issues arising with respect to obtaining the Company Shareholder Resolution and the right to review and discuss all material communication sent to Company Shareholders with respect to the Company Shareholder Resolution.

8.3 Support of Transaction. The Company shall, and shall cause the other Leading Group Companies and the Acquisition Entities to, and SPAC shall (a) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all material consents and approvals of third parties that any Leading Group Company or any of the Acquisition Entities and SPAC, as applicable, are required to obtain in order to consummate the Transactions and (b) take or cause such other action as may be reasonably necessary or as another party hereto may reasonably request to satisfy the conditions of Article IX (including, in the case of SPAC and Holdco, the use of reasonable best efforts to enforce Holdco’s rights under the PIPE Subscription Agreements) or otherwise to comply with this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable; provided that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require any Leading Group Company, SPAC or the Acquisition Entities or any of their respective Affiliates to (i) commence or threaten to commence, pursue or defend against any Action (except as required under Section 8.5, and without limiting the express obligations to make regulatory filings under Section 8.1), whether judicial or administrative, (ii) seek to have any stay or other Governmental Order vacated or reversed, (iii) propose, negotiate, commit to or effect by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, licensing or disposition of any assets or businesses of the Leading Group Companies, (iv) take or commit to take actions that limit the freedom of action of any of the Leading Group Companies or SPAC with respect to, or the ability to retain, control or operate, or to exert full rights of ownership in respect of, any of the businesses, product lines or assets of the Leading Group Companies or SPAC or (v) bear any material expense, pay any material fee or grant any financial, legal or other accommodation to any other Person (for the avoidance of doubt, without limiting the express obligations of such parties under the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements).

8.4 Tax Matters.

(a) Each of Holdco, SPAC, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, Surviving Corporation and the Company shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Transactions to qualify, and agree not to, and not to permit or cause any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries to, take any action which to its knowledge could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Transactions from qualifying, for the Intended Tax Treatment. Each of Holdco, SPAC, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, Surviving Corporation and the Company shall report the Mergers consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. In the event the SEC requests or requires tax opinions, Holdco shall cause Xxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxx & Xxxx LLP to deliver such opinions, and each party shall use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver customary tax representation letters as the applicable tax advisor may reasonably request in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such advisor. The covenants contained in this Section8.4(a), notwithstanding any provision elsewhere in this Agreement, shall survive in full force and effect indefinitely.

(b) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of Holdco’s current taxable year and each subsequent taxable year of Holdco for which Holdco reasonably believes that it may be a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code (“PFIC”), Holdco shall (i) determine its status as a PFIC, (ii) determine the PFIC status of each of its Subsidiaries that at any time during such taxable year was a foreign corporation within the meaning of Section 7701(a) of the Code (the “Non-U.S. Subsidiaries”), and (iii) make such PFIC status determinations available to the shareholders of Holdco. If Holdco determines that it was, or could reasonably be deemed to have been, a PFIC in such taxable year, Holdco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the statements and information (including without limitation, a PFIC Annual Information Statement meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-1(g)) necessary to enable Holdco shareholders and their direct or indirect owners that are United States persons (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) to comply with all provisions of the Code with respect to PFICs, including but not limited to making and complying with the requirements of a “Qualified Electing Fund” election pursuant to Section 1295 of the Code or filing a “protective statement” pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-3 with respect to Holdco or any of the Non-U.S. Subsidiaries, as applicable. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary expressed or implied in this Agreement, the covenants contained in this Section8.4(b) shall survive in full force and effect until the later of (A) five (5) years after the end of Holdco’s current taxable year and (B) such time as Holdco has reasonably determined that it is not a PFIC for three (3) consecutive taxable years.

(c) Each of the parties hereto agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment.

(d) The Company acknowledges that any SPAC Shareholder who owns five percent (5%) or more of Holdco Ordinary Shares immediately after the Closing, as determined under Section 367 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, may enter into (and cause to be filed with the IRS) a gain recognition agreement in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8. Upon the written request of any such SPAC Shareholder made following the Closing Date, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to such SPAC Shareholder (i) such information as such SPAC Shareholder reasonably requests in connection with such SPAC Shareholder’s preparation of a gain recognition agreement and (ii) such information as such SPAC Shareholder reasonably requested for purposes of determining whether there has been a gain “triggering event” under the terms of such SPAC Shareholder’s gain recognition agreement, in each case, at the sole cost and expense of such requesting SPAC Shareholders.

(e) Following the Closing Date, the Company shall, or shall cause SPAC to, comply with the Tax reporting obligations of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(6).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Transfer Taxes shall be paid by SPAC. The Party required by Law to do so shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and if required by applicable Law, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other document. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the amount of any such Transfer Taxes.

8.5 Shareholder Litigation. The Company and Holdco shall promptly advise SPAC, and SPAC shall promptly advise the Company, as the case may be, in writing of any Action commenced (or to the Knowledge of the Company or Holdco (as applicable) or the Knowledge of SPAC, as applicable, threatened) on or after the date of this Agreement against such party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its directors by any Company Shareholder or SPAC Shareholder relating to this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other Transactions (any such Action, “Shareholder Litigation”), and such party shall keep the other party reasonably informed regarding any such Shareholder Litigation. Each of the parties shall reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with the defense, settlement and compromise of any such Shareholder Litigation. The Company and Holdco shall give SPAC the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such Shareholder Litigation brought against the Company or Holdco, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its directors, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the SPAC’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The SPAC shall give the Company the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such Shareholder Litigation brought against the SPAC, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the Company’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

8.6 Acquisition Proposals and Alternative Transactions. During the Interim Period, each of the Company and SPAC shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, (a) initiate any negotiations with any Person with respect to, or provide any non-public information or data concerning the Company and SPAC or their respective Subsidiaries, to any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction or afford to any Person access to the business, properties, assets or personnel of any Leading Group Company or SPAC or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction, (b) enter into any acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement, or any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or agreement in principle, or any other agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction, (c) grant any waiver, amendment or release under any confidentiality agreement or the anti-takeover Laws of any state relating to an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction or (d) otherwise knowingly facilitate any such inquiries, proposals, discussions, or negotiations or any effort or attempt by any Person to make an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction. Each of the Company and SPAC shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Transaction or Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.6 by a party or its affiliates or Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section8.6 by such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transaction between the existing Company Shareholders does not constitute an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction.

8.7 Access to Information; Inspection. During the Interim Period, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the Company, SPAC and the Acquisition Entities shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) afford to the other party and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice, in such manner as to not materially interfere with the Ordinary Course of its operations, to all of its respective assets, properties, facilities, books, Contracts, Tax Returns, records and appropriate officers, employees and other personnel, and shall furnish such Representatives with all financial and operating data and other information concerning its affairs that are in its possession as such Representatives may reasonably request, and (b) cooperate with the other party and its Representatives regarding all due diligence matters, including document requests. All information obtained by the Company, SPAC, the Acquisition Entities and their respective Representatives pursuant to the foregoing shall be subject to the NDA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor SPAC shall be required to directly or indirectly provide access to or disclose information where the access or disclosure would violate its obligations of confidentiality or similar legal restrictions with respect to such information, jeopardize the protection of attorney-client privilege or contravene applicable Law (it being agreed that the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy or contravention), inconsistent with COVID-19 Measures, or violate any Law or regulations applicable to such party.

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

In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party hereto or its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, or other Representatives, other than liability of the Company, SPAC or any Acquisition Entity, as the case may be, for any willful and material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination, except that the provisions of this Section 10.2 and Article XI and the NDA shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Trust Account Waiver.

(a) The Company and each Acquisition Entity acknowledge that, as described in the final prospectus of SPAC, dated December 9, 2021 and filed with the SEC on December 13, 2021 (File No: 333-26119 ) available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of SPAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of the IPO and private placements of its securities occurring simultaneously with the IPO, and substantially all of those proceeds (including overallotment securities acquired by SPAC’s underwriters) have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by the underwriters of SPAC) (“Public Shareholders”). The Company and each Acquisition Entity understands and acknowledges that, except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to SPAC to pay its Taxes, cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only (i) to the Public Shareholders that elect to redeem their SPAC Ordinary Shares if SPAC completes a transaction which constitutes a Business Combination or in connection with an extension of the deadline to consummate a Business Combination; (ii) to the Public Shareholders if SPAC fails to complete a Business Combination within twelve (12) months after the closing of the IPO (as such date may be extended by amendment to the SPAC Governing Documents with the consent of the SPAC Shareholders); and (iii) to SPAC after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination.

(b) For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, and each Acquisition Entity hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreement, or any proposed or actual business relationship between SPAC or its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company or its Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”). The Company on behalf of itself and its Affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Company or any of its Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with SPAC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever. The Company acknowledges and agrees that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by SPAC and its Affiliates to induce SPAC to enter into this Agreement, and the Company further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Company and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law.

(c) To the extent that the Company or any of its Affiliates commences any Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SPAC or its Representatives, which Action seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against SPAC or its Representatives, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s and its Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Company or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (i) prohibit the right of the Company or its Affiliates to pursue a claim against SPAC for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account (other than distributions therefrom directly or indirectly to the Public Shareholders), 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 the SPAC Share Redemptions) to SPAC 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 obligations to effectuate the SPAC Share Redemptions or (ii) serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company and its Affiliates 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, but excluding distributions from the Trust Account directly or indirectly to the Public Shareholders).

(e) This Section11.1 will survive any termination of this Agreement for any reason and continue indefinitely.

11.2 Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may, at any time prior to the Closing, by action taken by its board of directors or officers or Persons thereunto duly authorized, extend the time for the performance of the obligations or acts of the other parties hereto, waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties (of another party hereto) that are contained in this Agreement or waive compliance by the other parties hereto with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement, but such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party granting such extension or waiver.

11.3 Notices. All notices and other communications among the parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iv) when delivered by email during normal business hours at the location of the recipient, and otherwise on the next following Business Day, addressed as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mergers, the exercise of appraisal and dissenters’ rights under the Cayman Companies Act and the fiduciary or other duties of the Company Board, the SPAC Board and the Holdco Board shall in each case be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the Cayman Islands).

Copies of executed counterparts of this Agreement transmitted by electronic transmission (including by email or in .pdf format) or facsimile as well as electronically or digitally executed counterparts (such as DocuSign) shall have the same legal effect as original signatures and shall be considered original executed counterparts of this Agreement.

11.9 Company and SPAC Disclosure Letters. The Company Disclosure Letter and the SPAC Disclosure Letter (including, in each case, any section thereof) referenced herein are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. All references herein to the Company Disclosure Letter or the SPAC Disclosure Letter (including, in each case, any section thereof) shall be deemed references to such parts of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require. Any disclosure made by a party in the applicable Disclosure Letter, or any section thereof, with reference to any section of this Agreement or section of the applicable Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to such other applicable sections of this Agreement or sections of applicable Disclosure Letter if it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is responsive to such other section of this Agreement or section of the applicable Disclosure Letter. Certain information set forth in the Disclosure Letters is included solely for informational purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. The disclosure of any information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality.

11.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Company Disclosure Letter and the SPAC Disclosure Letter), the NDA and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the parties to this Agreement relating to the Transactions and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the Transactions (including the Non-Binding Letter of Intent between SPAC and the Company, dated July 26, 2024). No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the Transactions exist between such parties except as expressly set forth or referenced in this Agreement, the NDA and the Ancillary Agreements.

11.11 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement.

11.12 Publicity.

(a) All press releases or other public communications relating to the Transactions, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall prior to the Closing be subject to the prior mutual approval of SPAC and the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by any party; provided that (i) no party shall be required to obtain consent pursuant to this Section11.12(a) to the extent any proposed release or statement is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section11.12(a) and (ii) nothing contained in this Section11.12 shall prevent SPAC or the Company or their respective Affiliates from furnishing customary summarized information concerning the Transactions and publicly available information to their current and prospective investors or PIPE Investors.

(b) The restriction in Section11.12(a) shall not apply to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities Law, any Governmental Authority or stock exchange rule; provided, however, that, in such an event, the party making the announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party in advance as to its form, content and timing. Disclosures resulting from the parties’ efforts to satisfy or obtain approval or early termination in connection with the Regulatory Approvals and to make any relating filing shall be deemed not to violate this Section11.12.

11.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.

11.14 Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. All legal proceedings arising under the Laws of the State of New York out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York; provided, however, that if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over such legal proceedings, they shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Commercial Division, sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York (and any appellate court therefrom). Each of the Parties hereto agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such legal proceedings in the manner provided in Section 11.3 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Laws, will be valid and sufficient service thereof. Each of the Parties hereto hereby (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for the purpose of any legal proceeding arising under the Laws of the State of New York out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party hereto, and (b) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any legal proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for any reason, other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 11.14. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement and the Transactions is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and voluntarily waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Action directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions.

11.15 Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage could occur in the event that 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 shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at Law or in equity. In the event that any Action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party shall allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law, and each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection therewith.

11.16 Non-Recourse.

(a) Solely with respect to the Company, SPAC and the Acquisition Entities, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions may only be brought against, the Company, SPAC or the Acquisition Entities as named parties hereto.

(b) Except to the extent a party hereto (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such party hereto), (i) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or other Representative of the Company or any Acquisition Entity or of SPAC and (ii) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate (including Sponsor), agent, attorney, advisor or other Representative of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in Contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Company, SPAC or the Acquisition Entities under this Agreement for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions.

11.17 Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. None of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate (including confirmations therein), statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and other provisions, shall survive the Closing and all of such representations and warranties shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Closing (and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect thereof), except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part after the Closing and then only with respect to any breaches occurring after the Closing and (b) this Article XI.
