Section 2.4 Deliverables.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, TortoiseCorp III shall appoint Continental (or its applicable Affiliate) as an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) and enter into an exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent for the purpose of exchanging Certificates, if any, representing the Company Shares and each Company Share held in book-entry form on the stock transfer books of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, in either case, for the portion of the Transaction Share Consideration issuable in respect of such Company Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(vii) and on the terms and subject to the other conditions set forth in this Agreement. 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 TortoiseCorp III 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), TortoiseCorp III 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, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(b) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall mail or otherwise deliver, or shall cause to be mailed or otherwise delivered, to the Company Shareholders a letter of transmittal in a form reasonably acceptable to TortoiseCorp III (the “Letter of Transmittal”).

(c) At the Effective Time, TortoiseCorp III shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the Company Shareholders and for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.4 through the Exchange Agent, evidence of TortoiseCorp III Shares in book-entry form representing the portion of the Transaction Share Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(vii) in exchange for the Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. All shares in book-entry form representing the portion of the Transaction Share Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(vii) deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”.

(d) Each Company Shareholder whose Company Shares have been converted into the right to receive a portion of the Transaction Share Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(vii) shall be entitled to receive the portion of the Transaction Share Consideration to which he, she or it is entitled on the Closing Date upon (i) surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in the form required by the Letter of Transmittal), together with the delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any documents or agreements required by the Letter of Transmittal), to the Exchange Agent or (ii) in the case of Company Shares held in book-entry form, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any documents or agreements required by the Letter of Transmittal), to the Exchange Agent.

(e) If a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, together with any Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in the form required by the Letter of Transmittal), if any, is delivered to the Exchange Agent in accordance with Section 2.4(d) (i) at least one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, then TortoiseCorp III and the Company shall take all necessary actions to cause the applicable portion of the Transaction Share Consideration to be issued to the applicable Company Shareholder in book-entry form on the Closing Date or (ii) less than one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, then TortoiseCorp III and the Company (or the Surviving Company) shall take all necessary actions to cause the applicable portion of the Transaction Share Consideration to be issued to the Company Shareholder in book-entry form within two (2) Business Days after such delivery.

(f) If any portion of the Transaction Share Consideration is to be issued to a Person other than the Company Shareholder in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Company Share in book-entry form is registered, it shall be a condition to the issuance of the applicable portion of the Transaction Share Consideration that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Company Share in book-entry form shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such consideration pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer Taxes required as a result of such consideration being issued to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Company Share in book-entry form or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

(g) No interest will be paid or accrued on the Transaction Share Consideration (or any portion thereof). From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered or transferred, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.4, each Company Share (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Shares cancelled and extinguished pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(viii)) shall solely represent the right to receive a portion of the Transaction Share Consideration to which such Company Share is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(vii).

(h) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no transfers of Company Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(i) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Company Shareholders twelve (12) months following the Closing Date shall be delivered to TortoiseCorp III or as otherwise instructed by TortoiseCorp III, and any Company Shareholder who has not exchanged his, her or its Company Shares for the applicable portion of the Transaction Share Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.4 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to TortoiseCorp III for the issuance of the applicable portion of the Transaction Share Consideration, without any interest thereon. None of TortoiseCorp III, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any Person in respect of any consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, unclaimed property, escheat, or similar Law. Any portion of the Transaction Share Consideration remaining unclaimed by the Company Shareholders immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of TortoiseCorp III free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.5 Withholding. TortoiseCorp III, Merger Sub, the Group Companies and the Exchange Agent (and each of their respective Affiliates, agents and representatives) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such deducted and 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. 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).

Section 2.6 Issuance of Company Earnout Shares.

(a) Within three (3) Business Days after the occurrence of a Company Triggering Event, TortoiseCorp III shall issue or cause to be issued to the Company Shareholders the following number of TortoiseCorp III Common Shares (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as set forth on the Allocation Schedule (such issued TortoiseCorp III Common Shares, collectively, the “Company Earnout Shares”):

(ii) Upon the occurrence of Company Triggering Event II, a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 Company Earnout Shares.

(b) In the event there is a Company Sale during the Company Earnout Period pursuant to which TortoiseCorp III or its stockholders have the right to receive consideration implying a value per TortoiseCorp III Common Share (as agreed in good faith by the TortoiseCorp III Board) that is greater than or equal to the applicable TortoiseCorp III VWAP price specified in Company Triggering Event I or Company Triggering Event II, any Company Earnout Shares that have not previously issued in accordance with Section 2.6(a)(i) or Section 2.6(a)(ii), as applicable, shall be issued immediately prior to the closing of such Company Sale, and the Company Shareholders shall be eligible to participate in such Company Sale with respect to the Company Earnout Shares deemed issued pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as apply to the holders of TortoiseCorp III Common Shares generally. Upon the consummation of a Company Sale, the Company Earnout Period shall terminate and the Company Shareholders shall have no further right to receive or earn the Company Earnout Shares other than in accordance with this Section 2.6(b) with respect to such Company Sale.

(c) Any issuance of Company Earnout Shares is intended to be treated as an adjustment to the consideration paid in the Merger that is subject to Section 354 of the Code (or any comparable or similar provisions of applicable state or local Law), except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any amounts required to be treated as interest pursuant to Section 483 of the Code).

(d) When issued, the Company Earnout Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, will not be issued in violation of the Governing Documents of TortoiseCorp III or any other Contract to which TortoiseCorp III is party or bound, will not be issued in violation of any preemptive rights, call option, right of first refusal or first offer, subscription rights, transfer restrictions or similar rights of any Person and will have been offered, sold and issued in compliance with applicable Law, including Securities Laws. To the extent not otherwise required by Law, such Company Earnout Shares will be issued through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company, without bearing any restrictive legend thereon; provided, that if the TortoiseCorp III Common Shares issued as Transaction Share Consideration are still subject to restrictions on transfer as of the date such Company Earnout Shares are issued, such restrictions on transfer shall also be applicable to the Company Earnout Shares.

Section 2.7 CSR Escrow. At or prior to the Closing, TortoiseCorp III, Xxxxxx Xxxx, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or such other escrow agent mutually acceptable to TortoiseCorp III and the Company), as escrow agent (the “CSR Escrow Agent”), shall enter into an escrow agreement, effective as of the Effective Time, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to TortoiseCorp III and Xxxxxx Xxxx (the “CSR Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which TortoiseCorp III shall deposit with the CSR Escrow Agent the Kent CSR Shares (the “CSR Escrow Shares”) to be held in a segregated escrow account (the “CSR Escrow Account”) and disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Contingent Stock Rights Agreement and the CSR Escrow Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, dividends or distributions, if any, shall accumulate in the CSR Escrow Account for so long as any CSR Escrow Shares are held within the CSR Escrow Account.

Section 2.8 Sponsor Earnout Shares.

(a) General. In accordance with the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed that, effective upon the Closing, the Sponsor will subject 2,250,000 TortoiseCorp III Common Shares owned by Sponsor (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) to forfeiture if the Sponsor Triggering Event does not occur during the Sponsor Earnout Period, with such Sponsor Earnout Shares vesting (and therefore no longer subject to forfeiture) pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.8. Until the occurrence of the Sponsor Triggering Event, certificates representing the Sponsor Earnout Shares shall bear a legend referencing that they are subject to forfeiture pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that upon the vesting of any Sponsor Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms herein, TortoiseCorp III shall immediately cause the removal of such legend.

(b) Vesting.

(i) The Sponsor Earnout Shares shall immediately become fully vested upon the earlier to occur of: (A) the occurrence of the Sponsor Triggering Event, or (B) the expiry of the Sponsor Earnout Period.

(ii) In the event there is a Company Sale during the Sponsor Earnout Period pursuant to which TortoiseCorp III or its stockholders have the right to receive consideration implying a value per TortoiseCorp III Common Share (as agreed in good faith by those individuals who are (or were) both members of the Sponsor and officers of TortoiseCorp III (in each case determined as of the date hereof) and hold not less than a majority of the Sponsor Earnout Shares and the TortoiseCorp III Board) that is greater than or equal to the TortoiseCorp III VWAP price specified in the Sponsor Triggering Event, then the Sponsor Triggering Event shall be deemed to have occurred.

(c) Adjustment. If, and as often as, the outstanding TortoiseCorp III Common Shares are changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange, or any similar event after the date hereof, then the number of Sponsor Earnout Shares to be surrendered pursuant to this Section 2.8 and the TortoiseCorp III VWAP price specified with respect to the Sponsor Triggering Event will, in each case, be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

Section 2.9 Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, Company Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a Company Shareholder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares (the “Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shareholders”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive such Dissenting Shareholder’s portion of the Transaction Share Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(vii), but instead such holder shall be entitled to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Shareholder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost its right to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Shareholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, each of such holder’s Company Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the applicable portion of the Transaction Share Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(vii), without interest. The Company shall give TortoiseCorp III prompt notice and a copy of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to Company Shareholders’ rights of appraisal. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of TortoiseCorp III, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

(g) Neither the conduct of the business of the Group Companies nor any of the current Company Products offered, marketed, licensed, provided, sold, distributed or otherwise exploited by the Group Companies nor the design, development, manufacturing, reproduction, use, marketing, offer for sale, sale, importation, exportation, distribution, maintenance or other exploitation of any Company Product infringes, constitutes or results from an unauthorized use or misappropriation of or otherwise violates any valid Intellectual Property Rights of any other Person in any material respect.

(i) To the Company’s knowledge, no Person is infringing, misappropriating, misusing, diluting or violating any Company Owned Intellectual Property.

To the Company’s knowledge, no event has occurred, and no circumstance or condition exists, that (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) will, or could reasonably be expected to, result in the delivery, license or disclosure of any source code that is owned by a Group Company or otherwise constitutes Company Owned Intellectual Property to any Person who is not, as of the date the event occurs or circumstance or condition comes into existence, a current employee or contractor of a Group Company subject to confidentiality obligations with respect thereto.

(k) The Company IT Systems and Company Data are in good working condition to effectively perform all information technology operations, are fully functional and operate and run in a reasonable and efficient business manner, and are reasonably sufficient in all material respects for the immediate needs of the Group Companies and Company Products, including as to capacity, scalability, and ability to meet current and anticipated peak volumes in a timely manner. Since the Lookback Date, there has been no failure, substandard performance, or any data loss involving any Company IT System that has caused a material disruption to the Group Companies. The Company IT Systems do not contain any malware or other processes or components intentionally designed to permit unauthorized access to, maliciously disable, encrypt or erase, or otherwise harm any Company IT Systems.

Section 5.14 TortoiseCorp III Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Each Party agrees that (i) all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors and officers of each TortoiseCorp III Party, as provided in the applicable TortoiseCorp III Party’s Governing Documents or otherwise in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, in either case, solely with respect to any matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time shall survive the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Effective Time for a period of six (6) years and (ii) TortoiseCorp III will perform and discharge, or cause to be performed and discharged, all obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation during such six (6)-year period. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, during such six (6)-year period, TortoiseCorp III shall advance, or caused to be advanced, expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the applicable TortoiseCorp III Party’s Governing Documents or other applicable agreements as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of TortoiseCorp III’s Governing Documents shall not, during such six (6)-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Effective Time in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, or at any time prior to such time, were directors or officers of any TortoiseCorp III Party (the “TortoiseCorp III D&O Persons”) entitled to be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time and relating to the fact that such TortoiseCorp III D&O Person was a director or officer of any TortoiseCorp III Party immediately prior to the Effective Time, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) TortoiseCorp III shall not have any obligation under this Section 5.14 to any TortoiseCorp III D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such TortoiseCorp III D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, TortoiseCorp III shall maintain, without any lapses in coverage, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the TortoiseCorp III Parties as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time. Such insurance policies shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured than) the coverage provided under TortoiseCorp III’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date of this Agreement. Alternatively, TortoiseCorp III may purchase, at or prior to the Closing, and TortoiseCorp III shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, without lapses in coverage, an extended reporting period or tail insurance policy that affords coverage which is no

less favorable in the aggregate to the insured than the coverage provided under TortoiseCorp III’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date of this Agreement. In either event, TortoiseCorp III shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the most recent annual premium paid by TortoiseCorp III prior to the date of this Agreement and, in such event, TortoiseCorp III shall purchase the maximum coverage available for three hundred percent (300%) of the most recent annual premium paid by TortoiseCorp III prior to the date of this Agreement.

(e) The TortoiseCorp III D&O Persons entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 5.14 are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.14.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, during such six (6)-year period, TortoiseCorp III shall cause the applicable Group Companies to advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the Group Companies’ Governing Documents or other applicable agreements in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Group Companies’ Governing Documents shall not, during such six (6)-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Effective Time in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Effective Time or at any time prior to the Effective Time, were directors or officers of the Group Companies (the “Company D&O Persons”) entitled to be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring prior to Closing and relating to the fact that such Company D&O Person was a director or officer of any Group Company prior to the Effective Time, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) None of TortoiseCorp III or the Group Companies shall have any obligation under this Section 5.15 to any Company D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such Company D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) The Company and TortoiseCorp III shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance of TortoiseCorp III from and after the Closing will provide directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the Group Companies as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time. If TortoiseCorp III is unable to secure such coverage under its directors’ and officers’ liability insurance then the Company may purchase, at or prior to the Closing, and TortoiseCorp III shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, without lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the Group Companies as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (the “Company D&O Tail Policy”). Such “tail” policy shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured than) the coverage provided under the Group Companies’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided that none of the Company, TortoiseCorp III or any of their respective Affiliates shall pay a premium for such “tail” policy in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the most recent annual premium paid by the Group Companies prior to the date of this Agreement and, in such event, the Company, TortoiseCorp III or one of their respective Affiliates shall purchase the maximum coverage available for three hundred percent (300%) of the most recent annual premium paid by the Group Companies prior to the date of this Agreement.

(e) The Company D&O Persons entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 5.15 are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.15. This Section 5.15 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of TortoiseCorp III.

Closing, at least four (4) of whom shall be required to qualify as an independent director under the NYSE rules; provided that the applicable Party shall only designate Person(s) eligible to serve as a director on the TortoiseCorp III Board in accordance with the applicable corporate governance standards and qualifications set forth by NYSE and any SEC rules, regulations or provisions related to individuals serving on the board of directors of a public company.

(b) The individual serving as the chief executive officer of the Company immediately after the Closing will be the same individual (in the same office) as that of the Company immediately prior to the Closing. In the event that such chief executive officer is unwilling or unable (whether due to death, disability, termination of service or otherwise) to serve as the chief executive officer, then, prior to the mailing of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement to the Pre-Closing TortoiseCorp III Holders, Tortoise Corp III and the Company may designate another individual to replace such individual to serve as such chief executive officer. The Company may appoint additional qualified persons to serve as officers in other capacities immediately prior to Closing and, in which case, such additional officers shall be the same individuals (and in the same office) immediately following the Closing.

Section 8.15 Waiver of Jury Trial.

THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 8.16 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction, any state or federal court within State of Delaware), for the purposes of any Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action (a) arising under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Document or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding claim, demand, action or cause of action against such Party (i) arising under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Document or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, (A) any claim that such Party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 8.16 for any reason, (B) that such Party or such Party’s property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (x) the Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action in any such court is brought against such Party in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action against such Party is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced against such Party in or by such courts.

Section 8.17 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Section 8.18 Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of TortoiseCorp III, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-253586) on July 19, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). The Company acknowledges and agrees and understands that TortoiseCorp III has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with such initial public offering (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of TortoiseCorp III’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by TortoiseCorp III’s underwriters, the “Public Shareholders”), and TortoiseCorp III may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of TortoiseCorp III entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company nor any of its 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 TortoiseCorp III or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company or any of 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 “Trust Account Released Claims”). The Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its 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 TortoiseCorp III 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 TortoiseCorp III or its Affiliates).
