(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional shares of Acquiror Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(c) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, pursuant to Section 3.1(a), as applicable, shall be entitled to receive such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), together with a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the transfer of any share.

Promptly following the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, Acquiror may instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to Acquiror all documents in its possession relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed shall be returned to Acquiror, and any Person that was a holder of shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time that has not exchanged such shares of Company Common Stock for an applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.2 prior to the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time, may transfer such shares of Company Common Stock to Acquiror and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor, and Acquiror shall promptly deliver, such applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration without any interest thereupon. None of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any of the Aggregate Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. If any such shares shall not have not been transferred immediately prior to such date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article III would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Prior to the Effective Time, each Company Option that is then outstanding with an exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be cancelled without consideration therefor.

(b) As of the Effective Time, each Company RSU (or portion thereof) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by Acquiror and converted automatically at the Effective Time into a restricted stock unit in respect of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions (each, an “Acquiror RSU”), except that such Acquiror RSU shall relate to that whole number of shares of Domesticated Acquiror Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to effect the treatment of Company Awards pursuant to Section 3.2 or this Section 3.3, including, as applicable, adopting resolutions and obtaining consents or acknowledgments from any holders thereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Closing is not contingent on the submission or adoption of such vote.

If any claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 7.9 shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and except for any of the following actions that would not increase conditionality, reduce the subscription amount under any Forward Purchase Agreement, reduce the per share price under any Forward Purchase Agreement or reduce or impair the rights of Acquiror under any Forward Purchase Agreement, Acquiror shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, any waiver (in whole or in part) of, or provide consent to modify (including consent to terminate), any provision or remedy under, or any replacements of, or any assignment or transfer of, any of the Forward Purchase Agreements, in each case, other than any assignment or transfer contemplated therein (without any further amendment, modification or waiver to such assignment or transfer provision), provided, that in the event of any such permitted assignment or transfer, the initial party to such Forward Purchase Agreement shall remain bound by its obligations with respect thereto in the event that the transferee or assignee, as applicable, does not comply with its obligations pursuant thereto. Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions required, necessary or that it otherwise deems to be proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by each Forward Purchase Agreement on the terms described therein, including using its reasonable best efforts to enforce its rights under such Forward Purchase Agreement to cause the Forward Purchasers to fund the applicable amount due under each respective Forward Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1 Trust Account Waiver. The Company acknowledges that Acquiror is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a Business Combination. The Company further acknowledges that, as described in the prospectus dated March 18, 2021 (the “Prospectus”) available at xxx.xxx.xxx, substantially all of Acquiror’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Acquiror’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in the trust account for the benefit of Acquiror, certain of its public shareholders and the underwriters of Acquiror’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). The Company acknowledges that it has been advised by Acquiror that, except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Acquiror to pay its franchise Tax, income Tax and similar obligations, the Trust Agreement provides that cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only (a) if Acquiror completes the transactions which constitute a Business Combination, then to those Persons and in such amounts as described in the Prospectus; (b) if Acquiror fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period and liquidates, subject to the terms of the Trust Agreement, to Acquiror in limited amounts to permit Acquiror to pay the costs and expenses of its liquidation and dissolution, and then to Acquiror’s public shareholders; and (c) if Acquiror holds a shareholder vote to amend Acquiror’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the obligation to allow for the redemption of any Acquiror Common Shares in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of Acquiror Common Shares if Acquiror fails to complete a Business Combination within the allotted time period or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, then for the redemption of any Acquiror Common Shares properly tendered in connection with such vote. For and in consideration of Acquiror entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind it has or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agrees it shall not have the right of setoff and that it shall not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with Acquiror; provided, that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against Acquiror for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions (including a claim for Acquiror 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 Acquiror Share Redemptions) to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect Acquiror’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the Acquiror Share Redemptions, or for fraud and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future against Acquiror’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).

Section 11.2 Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may, at any time prior to the Closing, by action taken by its Board of Directors, Board of Managers, Managing Member or other officers or Persons thereunto duly authorized, (a) extend the time for the performance of the obligations or acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties (of another party hereto) that are contained in this Agreement or (c) 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.
