Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Closing, all of the assets, properties, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company and all debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Surviving Company.

(iv) At the Closing, by virtue of the Merger without any further action on the part of any Party or any other Person:

(A) each Relevant CCTS Share shall be automatically canceled and extinguished in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, which Merger Consideration will be settled as follows: (1) each holder of Relevant CCTS Shares will be entitled to a claim for a corresponding Holdco Share that is held in the accounts of the Exchange Agent, solely for the benefit of the holders of Relevant CCTS Shares (each, a “Merger Claim” and together, the “Merger Claims”); and (2) the Merger Claims will be contributed and transferred to Holdco by the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of Relevant CCTS Shares in exchange for the issuance of a corresponding number of Holdco Shares (resulting, for the avoidance of doubt, so far as legally possible (subject always to Section ‎2.6(g)), in each Relevant CCTS Share being exchanged for a Holdco Share), and in fulfillment of each such holder’s respective obligations to pay up such Holdco Shares (together the “Merger Consideration”);

(B) each CCTS Share held immediately prior to the Closing by CCTS as a treasury share shall be canceled and extinguished, and no consideration shall be paid with respect thereto; and

(C) each ordinary share of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share of the Surviving Company.

(v) Immediately after the Closing, (x) the Governing Documents of Merger Sub shall become the Governing Documents of the Surviving Company, in each case, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law and (y) the Directors (as defined in the Governing Documents of Merger Sub) of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be the Directors of the Surviving Company.

(vi) From and after the Closing, the holder(s) of certificates, if any, evidencing ownership of CCTS Shares or CCTS Shares held in book-entry form issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as otherwise provided for herein or under applicable Law.

(vii) If after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, CCTS pays a dividend in, subdivides, consolidates or combines CCTS Shares into a smaller number of shares, or issues by reclassification any CCTS Shares, then the consideration payable in respect of such CCTS Share in accordance with Section ‎2.1(c)(iv) will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of the CCTS Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action, and as so adjusted will, from and after the date of such event, any consideration payable pursuant to Section ‎2.1(c)(iv).

(viii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any CCTS Share redeemed in the CCTS Shareholder Redemption shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive the consideration offered in the CCTS Shareholder Redemption and shall not be entitled to receive any consideration pursuant to Section ‎2.1(c)(iv).

(d) Board Appointments. Effective upon the Closing Date, the Holdco Board Appointments shall be effected in accordance with Section ‎6.14.

2.2 Closing. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the consummation of the Merger shall take place electronically by exchange of the closing deliverables by the means provided in Section ‎9.11 (provided that any closing deliverables that need to be notarized by a Dutch civil-law notary as a matter of Dutch Law shall be executed at the offices of Dutch legal counsel to the Company and Holdco) as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the third Business Day, following the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver) of the conditions set forth in ‎ARTICLE VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) or at such other place, date or time as CCTS and the Company may agree in writing.

2.3 Withholding. Holdco and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Prior to deducting and withholding any amounts pursuant to this Section ‎2.3, Holdco and any other applicable withholding agent shall use reasonable best efforts to notify the payee five Business Days in advance of any amounts that Holdco or any other applicable withholding agent intends to withhold from any payments hereunder, as well as for the basis pursuant to which Holdco or such other applicable withholding agent intends to withhold under applicable Tax Law. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including through the request and provision of any statements, forms or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding) to the extent reasonably practicable.

2.4 CCTS Warrants. As a result of the Merger and without any further action of any Party or any other Person (but without limiting the obligations of Holdco pursuant to the penultimate sentence of this Section ‎2.4), each CCTS Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Closing shall automatically cease to represent a right to acquire CCTS Class A Shares and shall automatically represent (pursuant to the execution of, and subject to the terms of, a warrant assumption agreement to that effect to be entered into by Holdco as of immediately prior to the Closing), immediately following the Closing, a right to acquire Holdco Shares (a “Converted Warrant”) on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Closing under the terms of the Warrant Agreement.

2.5 Allocation Schedule. No later than three Business Days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to CCTS an allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) setting forth (a) the number of Company Shares held by each Company Shareholder, the number of Company Shares deemed subject to each Company Award held by each holder thereof, as well as whether each such Company Award will be vested or unvested as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, and the number of Company Shares subject to each other warrant, award, convertible security or any other right to subscribe for Company Shares held by each holder thereof, and (b) the number of Holdco Shares that each Company Shareholder, holder of Company Awards or holder of any other option, warrant, award, convertible security or any other right to subscribe for Company Shares is entitled to receive as a result of Company Share Exchange , and (c) a certification, duly executed by an authorized officer of the Company, that the information and calculations delivered pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) are, and will be as of immediately prior to the Closing, (i) true and correct in all respects and (ii) in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, the Governing Documents of the Company and applicable Laws and, in the case of the Company Awards, the Company Incentive Plan and any applicable grant or similar agreement with respect to any such Company Award. The Company will review any comments to the Allocation Schedule provided by CCTS or any of its Representatives and consider in good faith and incorporate any reasonable comments proposed by CCTS or any of its Representatives prior to the issuance of any Holdco Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate number of Holdco Shares that each Company Shareholder, holder of Company Awards or holder of other Equity Securities (including a holder of Company Issuance Rights) will have a right to receive pursuant to Section ‎2.1(a) will be (A) rounded down to the nearest whole number in the event that the fractional Holdco Share that otherwise would be so paid is less than one-half of a Holdco Share and (B) rounded up to the nearest whole number in the event that the fractional Holdco Share that otherwise would be so paid is greater than or equal to one-half of a Holdco Share.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in the event that Continental is unable or unwilling to serve as the Exchange Agent, then Holdco and the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the Closing Date, mutually agree upon an exchange agent (in either case, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Holdco shall appoint and enter into an exchange agent agreement with such exchange agent, who shall for all purposes under this Agreement constitute the Exchange Agent, such agreement to be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to CCTS.

Holdco shall cause the Exchange Agent pursuant to irrevocable instructions, to deliver that portion of the Merger Consideration consisting of Holdco Shares out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. Except as contemplated by this Section ‎2.6, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(c) Exchange Procedures. After the Closing Date, and as promptly as practicable after the surrender to the Exchange Agent of the book-entry shares representing the Relevant CCTS Shares held by such holder for cancellation, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, each holder of Relevant CCTS Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Holdco shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver the applicable number of Holdco Shares and each Relevant CCTS Share held immediately prior to the Closing Date shall forthwith be cancelled.

(d) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged CCTS Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Closing Date with respect to the Holdco Shares with a record date after the Closing Date shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered book-entry shares representing Relevant CCTS Shares until such book-entry shares are surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Section ‎2.6. Subject to the effect of escheat, tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such book-entry shares, Holdco shall pay or cause to be paid to the holder of the book-entry shares representing Relevant CCTS Shares without interest, (i) promptly, but in any event no later than five Business Days of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Closing Date and theretofore paid with respect to the Holdco Shares to which a holder of Relevant CCTS Shares would be entitled pursuant to Section ‎2.1(c)(iv), and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Closing Date but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to the Holdco Shares to which a holder of Relevant CCTS Shares would be entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(iv).

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed for one year after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Holdco for no consideration, and any holders of Relevant CCTS Shares who have not theretofore surrendered to the Exchange Agent their book-entry shares representing the Relevant CCTS Shares held by such holder for cancellation in accordance with this Section ‎2.6 shall thereafter look only to Holdco for the applicable consideration for the Merger. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Relevant CCTS Shares, as may be applicable, as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Holdco free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, CCTS, Holdco, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any holder of CCTS Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law in accordance with this Section 2.7.

(g) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Holdco Shares will be issued, and the number of Holdco Shares each holder of CCTS Shares or Company Shares, as applicable, is entitled to receive pursuant to Section ‎2.1 will be (i) rounded down to the nearest whole number in the event that the fractional Holdco Share that otherwise would be so paid is less than one-half of a Holdco Share and (ii) rounded up to the nearest whole number in the event that the fractional Holdco Share that otherwise would be so paid is greater than or equal to one-half of a Holdco Share.

2.7 Treatment of Company Awards.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

9.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION ‎9.15.

9.16 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties may have not adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

9.17 Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of CCTS, filed with the SEC (File Nos. 333-258042 and 333-260567) on October 28, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). The Company acknowledges, agrees and understands that CCTS has established a Trust Account containing the proceeds of its IPO and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO, including interest accrued from time to time thereon (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of public shareholders of CCTS (including overallotment shares acquired by CCTS’s underwriters, the “Public Shareholders”), and CCTS may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus and in accordance with the Governing Documents of CCTS. For and in consideration of CCTS entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company, Holdco, and Merger Sub hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its respective Representatives that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company, Holdco, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives does 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 CCTS or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company, Holdco, Merger Sub or any of their respective 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 “Trust Account Released Claims”). Each of the Company, Holdco and Merger Sub, on behalf of itself and its respective Representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that the Company, Holdco, Merger Sub or any of their Representatives 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, or Contracts with CCTS or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with CCTS or its Affiliates), other than for the release of proceeds from the Trust Account upon the consummation of the Merger.
