(a) The Parties shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Persons identified as the managers and officers of the Surviving Company in accordance with Section 7.6 shall be the managers and officers of the Surviving Company from and after the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the Governing Documents of the Surviving Company until such manager’s or officer’s successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

Section 2.6 Tax Free Reorganization. The Parties intend that, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) the Conversion will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, (ii) the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code to which each of the Parties are to be parties under Section 368(b) of the Code, and (iii) this Agreement, including any amendments hereto as well as any other agreements entered into pursuant to this Agreement, will constitute a “plan of reorganization” with respect to the Merger within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) and Section 1.368-3(a). Unless there is a change in applicable Law, or if Parent and Company mutually determine in good faith that the Merger is not reasonably expected to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the Merger shall be reported by the Parties and their respective Affiliates for all Tax purposes in accordance with the foregoing, unless otherwise required by a Governmental Authority as a result of a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. The Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, cooperate with the other Parties and their respective counsel to document and support the Tax treatment of each of the Conversion and the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, including in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and if the SEC requests or requires a tax opinion with respect to any discussion in the Registration Statement of the United States federal income tax consequences to the Company Members of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such tax opinion shall be provided by the Company’s tax advisor at the Surviving Corporation’s expense, and each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver customary tax representation letters to the applicable tax advisor in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such advisor upon which such advisor shall be entitled to rely in rendering such tax opinion.

To the

21

extent required by applicable tax law, Parent shall prepare and post online or otherwise file, in either case within forty-five (45) days of the Closing Date, an IRS Form 8937 reporting the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, after the date hereof but prior to the time at which Parent Stockholder Approval has been obtained, Parent and the Company mutually determine in good faith that the Merger is not reasonably expected to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to restructure the transactions contemplated hereby (such restructured transactions, the “Alternative Transaction Structure”) in a manner that is reasonably expected to cause the Alternative Transaction Structure to so qualify, including by adding a second merger to take place immediately after the Merger whereby the surviving company in the Merger would merge with and into a new limited liability company that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, with such new limited liability company being the surviving company in such merger.

Section 5.11 Business Activities.

(a) Since their respective dates of formation, neither Parent nor Merger Sub have conducted any business activities other than activities related to Parent’s initial public offering, the filing of Parent SEC Filings or directed toward the accomplishment of a Business Combination. Except as set forth in Parent’s Governing Documents or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, there is no agreement, commitment, or Governmental Order binding upon Parent or Merger Sub or to which Parent or Merger Sub is a party which has or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or impairing any business practice of Parent or Merger Sub or any acquisition of property by Parent or Merger Sub or the conduct of business by Parent or Merger Sub as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted as of the Closing, other than such effects which have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, Parent Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except for this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, Parent has no material interests, rights, obligations or liabilities with respect to, and is not party to, bound by or has its assets or property subject to, in each case whether directly or indirectly, any Contract or transaction which is, or would reasonably be interpreted as constituting, a Business Combination.

(c) Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has not engaged in any business activities or conducted any operations other than in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and has no, and at all times prior to the Effective Time, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the other documents and transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will have no, assets, liabilities or obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever other than those incident to its formation.

(d) As of the date hereof and except for this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the other documents and transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including with respect to expenses and fees incurred in connection therewith) or any liabilities or Contracts that are disclosed in or are exhibits to the Parent SEC Filings, neither Parent nor Merger Sub are party to any Contract with any other Person that (i) would require payments by Parent or Merger Sub after the date hereof in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate or could reasonably

Section 5.12 Trust Account. As of January 31, 2024, Parent had $17,669,491 in the Trust Account, such monies invested in United States government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2021, between Parent and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement is in full force and effect and is a legal, and binding obligation of Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, the Trustee, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity. The Trust Agreement has not been terminated, repudiated, rescinded, amended, supplemented or modified, in any respect, and, to the knowledge of Parent, no such termination, repudiation, rescission, amendment, supplement, or modification is contemplated by Parent or, to the knowledge of Parent, the Trustee. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other arrangements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Parent SEC Filings to be inaccurate or that would entitle any Person (other than stockholders of Parent holding shares of Parent Class A Common Stock sold in Parent’s initial public offering who shall have elected to redeem their shares of Parent Class A Common Stock pursuant to Parent’s Governing Documents and the underwriters of Parent’s initial public offering with respect to deferred underwriting commissions) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released other than to pay Taxes and payments with respect to all Parent Stockholder Redemptions. There are no claims or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened with respect to the Trust Account. Parent has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and is not in default, breach or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the Trust Agreement, and no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default or breach thereunder. As of the Effective Time, the obligations of Parent to dissolve or liquidate pursuant to Parent’s Governing Documents shall terminate, and as of the Effective Time, Parent shall have no obligation whatsoever pursuant to Parent’s Governing Documents to dissolve and liquidate the assets of Parent by reason of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. To Parent’s knowledge, following the Effective Time, no Parent Stockholder shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account except to the extent such Parent Stockholder is exercising a Parent Stockholder Redemption. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the compliance by Company with its obligations hereunder, neither Parent or Merger Sub have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to Parent and Merger Sub on the Closing Date (for the avoidance of doubt, disregarding any Trust Account proceeds applied for the payment of redemption amounts upon a Parent Stockholder Redemption or the payment of deferred underwriting compensation to the underwriter in Parent’s initial public offering).

48

Sub, and there are no waivers, extensions or requests for any waivers or extensions of any statute of limitations currently in effect with respect to any material Taxes of Parent or Merger Sub; (viii) Parent and Merger Sub have not taken any action and have not failed to take any reasonable action, nor to the knowledge of Parent are there any facts or circumstances, that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; and (ix) Merger Sub filed an election with the IRS on Form 8832 to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation effective on the date of the formation of Merger Sub, and Merger Sub has been classified as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes during its entire existence. For purposes of this Section 5.13, it is understood that Taxes shall be treated as “due and payable” on (and no earlier than) the last date upon which such Taxes are payable to a relevant Tax authority (i) without being considered to be delinquent and (ii) without being subject to additional fees, charges, penalties or interest for non-payment.

Section 5.14 SEC Filings. Parent has timely filed or furnished all statements, prospectuses, registration statements, forms, reports and documents required to be filed by it with the SEC, pursuant to the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, from October 28, 2021 through the date hereof (collectively, as they have been amended since the time of their filing through the date hereof, the “Parent SEC Filings”), except as otherwise disclosed in such Parent SEC Filings. Each of the Parent SEC Filings, as of the respective date of its filing, and as of the date of any amendment, complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder applicable to the Parent SEC Filings.

To the knowledge of Parent, none of the Parent SEC Filings filed on or prior to the date hereof is subject to ongoing SEC review or investigation as of the date hereof.

Section 5.15 Investment Company Act; JOBS Act. Parent is not an “investment company” or a Person directly or indirectly “controlled” by or acting on behalf of an “investment company,” in each case within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. Parent constitutes an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act.

The Parent Class A Common Stock, the Parent Units, and the Parent Public Warrants are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on the Nasdaq under the symbols “AEAE,” “AEAEU”, and “AEAEW”, respectively.

Parent will use reasonable best efforts to obtain such approval of the Parent Stockholders.

As such, and notwithstanding the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 7.10(c), (i) such requested cooperation of the Company shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company, (ii) neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the PIPE Commitments, or to take any action that would subject such Person to actual liability, to bear any cost or expense or to provide any indemnity with respect to the PIPE Commitments (other than (A) any customary management representation and authorization letter in connection with marketing materials contemplated by the PIPE Commitments and (B) customary obligations of the Surviving Company that are contingent upon the Closing and which would not be effective prior to the Closing) and (iii) Persons who are on the Board of the Company prior to the Closing in their capacity as such shall not be required to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the PIPE Commitments.

The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of any event which such Party becomes aware of between the date of this Agreement and the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE X), the occurrence, or non-occurrence of which causes or would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE IX to fail.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1 Trust Account Waiver. The Company acknowledges that (a) Parent is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a Business Combination and (b) the Company has read the Parent SEC Filings, Parent’s Governing Documents and the Trust Agreement. The Company further acknowledges that, as described in the Parent SEC Filings, substantially all of Parent’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Parent’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities (less amounts released pursuant to Parent Stockholder Redemptions), and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in the trust account for the benefit of Parent, certain of its public stockholders and the underwriters of Parent’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). The Company acknowledges that it has been advised by Parent that the Trust Agreement provides that cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only in limited circumstances set forth in the Trust Agreement. The Company further acknowledges that, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or, in the event of a termination of this Agreement, another Business Combination, are not consummated by May 2, 2024, or such later date as approved by the stockholders of Parent to complete a Business Combination, Parent will be obligated to return to its stockholders the amounts being held in the Trust Account. Accordingly, for and in consideration of Parent 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 the Company has or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, other than for the release of the cash remaining in the Trust Account upon the consummation of the Merger; provided, however, that (i) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company right to pursue a claim against Parent for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including a claim for Parent to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement), and (ii) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future against Parent’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 Notices. All notices and other communications among the Parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iv) when delivered by email (in
