AGREEMENT

1. Sale and Purchase.

(a) Forward Purchase Units.

(i) The Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company or, at the Company’s option, Parent, the Forward Purchase Units, in accordance with Section 1(a)(ii), for $10.00 per Forward Purchase Unit.

(A) At least seven (7) days prior to any vote of the Company’s board of directors to approve a definitive agreement (a “Definitive Agreement”) for a Business Combination with any specific target business other than the company identified in the separate written communication delivered by the Company to the Purchaser concurrently herewith or any successor or affiliate thereof (the “Specified Target” and together with each such other target, each a “Target”), written notice (the “Transaction Notification”) shall be delivered by the Company to the Purchaser (such date of delivery, the “Notice Date”) of the Company’s intention to hold such a board vote. Such Transaction Notification shall set forth the material terms and such other information as may be reasonably necessary for the Purchaser to evaluate the terms of such Business Combination.

(B) The Purchaser shall have until five (5) days after the Notice Date (such date five (5) days after the Notice Date, the “Notification Deadline”) to deliver written notice to the Company, which written notice shall state that it desires to purchase hereunder the Forward Purchase Units set forth in the Transaction Notification (a “Purchase Notice”).

(C) If the Purchaser fails to deliver a Purchase Notice by the Notification Deadline, the Purchaser shall be excused from its obligation to purchase the Forward Purchase Units in connection with a specific Business Combination. After the Notification Deadline, the Company will no longer have any obligation to accept a Purchase Notice from the Purchaser or sell the Forward Purchase Units to the Purchaser with respect to a Business Combination with such Target. Each Purchase Notice shall constitute an irrevocable undertaking and agreement by the Purchaser to purchase the Forward Purchase Units at the Forward Closing (as defined below).

(D) No Transaction Notification shall be required in respect of a Business Combination with the Specified Target in which, immediately after the Closing of the Business Combination and after taking into account the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Purchaser will be a beneficial owner of less than or equal to 19.9% of the share capital of the Parent, and the Purchaser by execution of this Agreement shall be deemed to have delivered a Purchase Notice and made an irrevocable undertaking and agreement to purchase the Forward Purchase Units and provide the Backstop Subscription at the Forward Closing in respect of such a Business Combination.

(iii) If the Purchaser delivers or is deemed to deliver a Purchase Notice, the Company shall deliver a notice to the Purchaser (the “Closing Notice”) at least two (2) Business Days before and conditional on the Business Combination Closing, specifying the date of the Business Combination Closing, the aggregate Forward Purchase Price and instructions for wiring the Forward Purchase Price. The closing of the sale of Forward Purchase Units (the “Forward Closing”) shall be on the same date and immediately prior to, or simultaneously with, the Business Combination Closing (such date and time being referred to as the “Forward Closing Date”). At the Forward Closing, the Company or, at the Company’s option, Parent, will issue to the Purchaser the Ordinary Shares and Warrants comprising the Forward Purchase Units, each registered in the name of the Purchaser, and identical to the Ordinary Shares and Warrants comprising the Public Units, against delivery of the Forward Purchase Price in cash via wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice.

(iv) The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that in order to receive information possessed by the Company related to such Targets, the Purchaser will be required to enter into or be joined to confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements on customary and reasonable terms with such Targets restricting the use and disclosure of such information, and that, under certain circumstances, the Purchaser may come into possession of material, nonpublic information regarding a publicly traded company, including the Company.

(v) The Company shall, within one (1) Business Day following the entry into a Definitive 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 by such Definitive Agreement, the Business Combination and any other material, non-public information that the Company has provided to the Purchaser at any time prior to such filing. The Company shall not publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, except to the extent (A) as required by the federal securities laws, rules or regulations and (B) to the extent such disclosure is required by other laws, rules or regulations, at the request of the staff of the SEC or any regulatory agency or under the rules and regulations of Nasdaq (or another national securities exchange), in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior written notice of such required disclosure. The Purchaser will promptly provide any information reasonably requested by the Company for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including filings with the SEC).

(vi) For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in the City of New York, New York.

(vii) Each book entry for the Securities shall contain a notation, and each certificate (if any) evidencing the Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS. THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN FORWARD PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF THE COMPANY.”

(b) Backstop Subscription.

(i) By delivery, or deemed delivery, of a Purchase Notice in respect of a Business Combination, Purchaser irrevocably commits $10,000,000 of Purchaser’s capital to backstop SPAC Redemptions. In exchange for the agreement to commit such capital, the Company or, at the Company’s option, Parent, shall issue to Purchaser effective as of immediately prior to, or simultaneously with, the Business Combination Closing:

(A) 500,000 warrants of the Company or, at the Company’s option, Parent, with each such warrant being identical to one Warrant (the “Backstop Warrants”); and

(B) such number of ordinary shares of the Company, or at the Company’s option, Parent, that is equal to the Backstop Subscription Amount divided by $10.00 (rounded up to the nearest whole number) (the “Backstop Shares” and, together with the Forward Purchase Units and the Backstop Warrants, the “Securities”).

(ii) For the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether the Backstop Subscription Amount is $10,000,000 or $0, the Company will issue to Purchaser all of the Backstop Warrants.

(iii) For purposes hereof: (A) “Backstop Subscription Amount” means an amount equal to (A) $100,000,000 minus (B) the Available Closing SPAC Cash; provided that in no event shall the Backstop Subscription Amount exceed $10,000,000 or be less than $0; and (B) “Available Closing SPAC Cash” shall be an amount equal to (A) the amount of cash in the Trust Account immediately prior to the Closing (after reduction for the aggregate amount of payments required to be made in connection with the SPAC Redemptions) plus (B) the aggregate amount of funds that have been funded, or that will be funded immediately prior to or concurrently with the Closing, to the Company or Parent in connection with any forward purchase agreements and PIPE investments entered into by Company or Parent in connection with the Business Combination.

(iv) With respect to the Backstop Subscription, the Company shall deliver a Closing Notice to Purchaser at least two (2) Business Days before and conditional on the Business Combination Closing, specifying the date of the Business Combination Closing, the total number of Ordinary Shares of the Company subject to SPAC Redemptions, the Available Closing SPAC Cash, the aggregate Backstop Subscription Amount and instructions for wiring the Backstop Subscription Amount. The closing of the issuance and sale of the Backstop Warrants and the Backstop Shares (the “Backstop Closing” and, together with the Forward Closing, the “Closing”) shall be on the Forward Closing Date and immediately prior to, or simultaneously with, the Business Combination Closing. At the Backstop Closing, the Company will issue to the Purchaser the Backstop Shares (if any) and the Backstop Warrants, each registered in the name of the Purchaser, against delivery of the Backstop Subscription Amount (if greater than $0) in cash via wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice.

The Purchaser hereby confirms, that as of the date hereof and as of the issuance and sale of the Securities, the Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of any state or federal securities laws, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of law.

(a) Registration. The Company shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to file within thirty (30) calendar days after the Business Combination Closing (the “Filing Date”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (a “Forward Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Securities and underlying securities (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”); pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Forward Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after the filing thereof but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Business Combination Closing and (ii) the 10th Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to include the Registrable Securities in the Forward Registration Statement is contingent upon the Purchaser furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Purchaser, the securities of the Company held by the Purchaser and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Purchaser shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. The Company shall maintain each Forward Registration Statement in accordance with the terms hereof (provided that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Forward Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as

permitted hereunder), and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Forward Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities included on such Forward Registration Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Forward Registration Statement to a Form S-3 or F-3 or similar as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use such short-form registration statement. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Forward Registration Statement as set forth in this Section 4.

(b) The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Forward Registration Statement to the undersigned for review (but not comment) at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Forward Registration Statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to delay or postpone the filing of the Forward Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with the undersigned’s review. In no event shall the Purchaser be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Forward Registration Statement unless required by the SEC or otherwise agreed to by the Purchaser in writing; provided, that if the SEC requests that the Purchaser be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Forward Registration Statement, the Purchaser will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Forward Registration Statement. Any failure by the Company to file or to effect the Forward Registration Statement by the deadlines set out herein shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Forward Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 4. The Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Purchaser as to the status of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Company Obligations. In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Purchaser as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Company shall:

(i) except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Forward Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Purchaser, and to keep the applicable Forward Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf Forward Registration Statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) the Purchaser ceases to hold any Registrable Securities or (ii) the date all Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without 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), if applicable), and (iii) three years from the effective date of the Forward Registration Statement;

(ii) advise the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days:

(A) when a Forward Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Forward Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(B) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Forward Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(C) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Forward Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(E) subject to the provisions in this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Forward Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

(iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Forward Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iv) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Forward Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Forward Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Ordinary Shares issued by the Company have been listed (each, an “Exchange”);

(vi) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby and to enable the Purchaser to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144.

(d) Legend Removal.

(i) If the Securities are eligible to be sold without restriction under, and without the Company being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then at the Purchaser’s request, the Company will cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section 1(a)(vi). In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Securities, as applicable, without any such legend.

(ii) Additionally, at Purchaser’s request and at the Company’s expense, when a Forward Registration Statement identifying the Purchaser as a selling stockholder is effective under the Securities Act and no Suspension Event (as defined in Section 4(i)) is in effect, then (A) upon delivery by Purchaser of representations as to the matters set forth in Exhibit A hereto, and (B) if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cause an opinion of counsel based, among such other things, on the representations and undertakings of the Purchaser, to be delivered to the Company’s transfer agent together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Securities, as applicable, without any such legend.

(e) Certificates. The Company shall cooperate with a Purchaser, at its request, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of physical certificates representing the securities underlying the Securities and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Purchasers may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Purchasers may request. Any such physical certificates shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the form set forth in Section 1(a)(vi).

(f) Suspension Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Forward Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the Purchaser not to sell under the Forward Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Forward Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Forward Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Forward Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Forward Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Forward Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Forward Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus)

not misleading, the Purchaser agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Forward Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Purchaser receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, the Purchaser will deliver to the Company or, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in the Purchaser’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (i) to the extent the Purchaser is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

(g) Opt-Out Notice. The Purchaser may deliver written notice (including via email) (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that the Purchaser not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Section 4; provided, however, that the Purchaser may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from the Purchaser (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to the Purchaser’s intended use of an effective Forward Registration Statement, the Purchaser will notify the Company in writing at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 4) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify the Purchaser, within one (1) Business Day of the Purchaser’s notification to the Company, by delivering to the Purchaser a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide the Purchaser with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

(h) Indemnification.

(i) The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser (to the extent a seller under the Forward Registration Statement), the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of the Purchaser, each person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, agents, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Forward Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Forward Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus,

or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (B) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 4, except to the extent, but only to the extent (x) that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein or (y) offers or sales by the Purchaser during a Suspension Event. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 4 of which the Company is aware. The Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of the Company, each person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and their successors and assigns, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, that arise out of or are based on sales by the Purchaser during a Suspension Event.

(ii) The obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any seller named in the Forward Registration Statement (the “Other Sellers”), and the Purchaser shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Seller under this Agreement. The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or that are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Forward Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Forward Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Purchaser be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(i) Transfer. The rights, duties and obligations of the Purchaser under this Section 4 may be assigned or delegated by the Purchaser in conjunction with and to the extent of any permitted transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities by the Purchaser to any transferee or assignee pursuant to Section 9(f).

5. Additional Agreements and Acknowledgements of the Purchaser.

(a) Right of First Refusal. The Company hereby grants the Purchaser, together with all other purchasers entering into similar Forward Purchase Agreements with the Company as of or prior to the date hereof (“Other Purchasers”), a right of first refusal with respect to any additional third-party equity financing required by the Company in connection with any Business Combination, excluding financings to the Target, the equityholders of the Target or the initial shareholders of the Company or their affiliates (such financing, an “Additional Financing”). The Company shall notify the Purchaser of the principal terms of any proposed Additional Financing and offer the Purchaser the right to participate in such Additional Financing pro rata with all Other Purchasers. If the Purchaser chooses to accept, the Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of such notice to enter into a definitive subscription agreement providing for such Additional Financing. In the event the Purchaser does not elect to purchase such equity securities, the Company shall be free to sell such equity securities to one or more third-party purchasers on the terms contained in such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser shall irrevocably waive such right of first refusal, and such right of first refusal shall no longer be applicable, if the Purchaser fails to deliver a Purchase Notice prior to the Notification Deadline.

(b) Trust Account.

(i) The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the Company has established the Trust Account for the benefit of its public shareholders upon the IPO Closing. The Purchaser, for itself and its affiliates, hereby agrees that it has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it.

(ii) The Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall have no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have now or in the future, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it. In the event the Purchaser has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Account, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it.

(c) Voting. The Purchaser hereby agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of the initial proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, the Purchaser shall vote any Ordinary Shares owned by it in favor of any proposed Business Combination.

(d) Redemption. The Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any rights to which it would otherwise be entitled to redeem any Forward Purchase Units (including the underlying Ordinary Shares) or any other Ordinary Shares owned by it (including any Ordinary Shares acquired in the IPO) into funds held in the Trust Account upon the successful completion of a Business Combination.

6. Listing. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect and maintain the listing of the Public Shares on the NASDAQ Capital Market (or another national securities exchange).

7. Conditions for the Closing.

(h) Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(i) Governing Law. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles.

(j) Jurisdiction.

(l) Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except with the prior written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.

(m) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party hereto or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties hereto agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

(n) Expenses. Each of the Company and the Purchaser will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, financial advisors, legal counsel and accountants. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent; stamp taxes and all The Depository Trust Company fees associated with the issuance of the Securities.

(o) Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. All references to dollars or $ refer to U.S. dollars.

(p) Waiver. No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.

(q) Specific Performance. The Purchaser agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

(r) Confidentiality. Except as may be required by law, regulation or applicable stock exchange listing requirements, unless and until the transactions contemplated hereby and the terms hereof are publicly announced or otherwise publicly disclosed by the Company, the parties hereto shall keep confidential and shall not publicly disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement.
