(b) execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the BCA, the Ancillary Documents and the Transactions, as shall reasonably be requested by Parent, in order to carry out the terms and provision of this Section 1, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of any applicable Ancillary Documents, customary instruments of conveyance and transfer, and any consent, waiver, governmental filing, and any similar or related documents; and

 

(c) except as contemplated by the BCA or the Ancillary Documents, make, or in any manner participate in, directly or indirectly, a “solicitation” of “proxies” or consents (as such terms are used in the rules of the SEC) or powers of attorney or similar rights to vote (other than a proxy granted to a representative of Sponsor to attend the vote of a meeting which is voted in accordance with this Agreement).

 

2. No Transfer. Sponsor agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, except as otherwise contemplated pursuant to the BCA, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), redeem, lien, pledge, distribute, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of the Shares or Warrants (collectively, a “Transfer”) or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing (unless the transferee agrees to be bound by this Agreement), (b) deposit any Shares or Warrants into a voting trust, enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto (other than a proxy granted to a representative of Sponsor to attend and vote at a meeting which is voted in accordance with this Agreement), (c) or enter into any contract, option, derivative, hedging or other agreement or arrangement or understanding (including any profit-sharing arrangement) with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of any Shares or Warrants or (d) take any action that would have the effect of preventing, impeding, interfering with or adversely affecting Sponsor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

6. Excise Tax. Each of Sponsor and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to reduce any liability resulting from any Excise Taxes incurred by Purchaser, including in connection with any buyback of Purchaser Common Stock, the Redemptions or the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to timely pay, or cause to be paid, any and all such Excise Taxes, including any such Excise Taxes incurred by Purchaser prior to or after the Closing, which shall be paid as follows (and in the following order): (a) first, if (i) approved by the requisite vote of the stockholders of Purchaser at the special meeting of such stockholders to be held on March 5, 2024, and (ii) permitted by (u) the Purchaser Charter, (x) applicable Law, (y) the terms of, and subject to, the Trust Agreement, and (z) the Trustee (and subject to the approval of the Trustee), from the withdrawal of interest from the Trust Account, (b) second, from the net amount, if any, raised from the PIPE Investment pursuant to Section 7.19 of the BCA or any other equity financing that is consummated prior to, or simultaneously with, the Closing, and (c) third, if there is any amount of Excise Tax liability that is still outstanding and/or unpaid after applying Sections 6(a) and (b) above prior to or after the Closing Date, Sponsor agrees to transfer, directly or constructively (including pursuant to a forfeiture and reissuance), to Purchaser or such other Person(s) as determined by Parent, a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the amount of such outstanding and/or unpaid Excise Tax liability paid by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6(c) divided by (B) $10.00.

 

7. Working Capital Loans.

(c) If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

(d) This Agreement, the BCA and the Ancillary Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise).

 

(e) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(f) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it shall 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. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Order.

(g) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction. All actions, suits or proceedings (collectively, “Action”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any federal or state court having jurisdiction located in New York, New York (or in any appellate courts thereof) (the “Specified Courts”). The parties hereto hereby (i) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of federal or state courts within the State of New York for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (ii) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in Section 14(b). Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

 

(h) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES 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 (i) 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 (ii) 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.

 

(i) This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or electronic portable document format (.pdf) transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

(j) Without further consideration, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such additional documents and instruments and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(k) This Agreement shall not be effective or binding upon Sponsor until such time as the BCA is executed by each of the parties thereto.

 

(l) If, and as often as, there are any changes in Purchaser or Purchaser Common Stock by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or business combination, or by any other means, equitable adjustment shall be made to the provisions of this Agreement as may be required so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to Purchaser, Sponsor and the Shares as so changed, and the term “Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.

 

(m) The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine, or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement; and (iv) the term “or” means “and/or”. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

 

(n) Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of Purchaser, Parent, Pubco and Sponsor. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.

 

(o) Each party shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of investment bankers, accountants and counsel) in connection with the entering into of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that in the event of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the non-prevailing party in any such Action will pay its own expenses and the reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred by the prevailing party.

 

(p) This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship among Sponsor, Parent, Pubco and Purchaser, and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture, or any like relationship among the parties hereto or among any other stockholders of Purchaser entering into voting agreements with Parent, Pubco or Purchaser. Sponsor has acted independently regarding its decision to enter into this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent, Pubco or Purchaser any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shares or Warrants.
