Pubco warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Sections 6(a) or 6(b) hereof, will be given by Pubco to its transfer agent and that the Founder Shares (or Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof) and Private Placement Warrants (or Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion or exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of Pubco as and to the extent provided in this Agreement; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) any certificate for the Founder Shares (or Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof) and Private Placement Warrants (or Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion or exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) as and when required by this Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Founder Shares (or Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof) and Private Placement Warrants (or Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion or exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) issued to Pubco pursuant as and when required by this Agreement.
