(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Company Equityholders with respect to a Triggering Event shall be entitled to receive Earnout Shares upon the occurrence of each Triggering Event; provided, however, that each Triggering Event shall occur only once, if at all, and in no event shall such Company Equityholders collectively be entitled to receive more than an aggregate of the greater of 8% of the fully-diluted common stock (5% for Triggering Event I and 3% for Triggering Event II based on the fully-diluted common stock at the time of such trigger) or 3,000,000 Earnout Shares pursuant to this Section 2.5.

(c) If, during the Earnout Period, there is a Change of Control, (A) the HoldCo shall issue the greater of 8% of the then outstanding fully-diluted common stock or 3,000,000 HoldCo Shares (less any Earnout Shares issued prior to such Change of Control pursuant to Section 2.5(a)) to the eligible Company Equityholders with respect to the Change of Control, and (B), thereafter, this Section 2.5 shall terminate and no further Earnout Shares shall be issuable hereunder.

(d) The HoldCo Share price targets set forth in the definitions of Triggering Event I and Triggering Event II and in Section 1.21(c) shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to HoldCo Shares occurring after the Closing.

(e) At all times during the Earnout Period, HoldCo shall keep available for issuance a sufficient number of unissued HoldCo Shares to satisfy in full its issuance obligations set forth in this Section 1.21 and shall take all actions reasonably required (including by convening any stockholder meeting) to increase the authorized number of HoldCo Shares if at any time there shall be insufficient unissued HoldCo Shares to permit such reservation. In no event will any right to receive Earnout Shares be represented by any negotiable certificates of any kind, and in no event will any holder of a contingent right to receive Earnout Shares take any steps that would render such rights readily marketable.

(f) HoldCo shall take such actions as are reasonably requested by former Company Equityholders to evidence the issuances pursuant to this Section 1.21, including through the provision of an updated stock ledger showing such issuances (as certified by an officer of HoldCo responsible for maintaining such ledger or the applicable registrar or transfer agent of HoldCo).

(g) During the Earnout Period, HoldCo shall use reasonable best efforts to remain listed as a public company on, and for HoldCo Shares (including, when issued, the Earnout Shares) to be tradable over the national securities exchange (as defined under Section 6 of the Exchange Act) on which the HoldCo Shares are then listed; provided, however, that subject to Section 1.21(c), the foregoing shall not limit HoldCo from consummating a Change of Control or entering into a Contract that contemplates a Change of Control.

Section 2.6 CBRG Transfer Agent Matters; Exchange Agent Matters.

(a) HoldCo and CBRG shall each take, or cause to be taken, all necessary or reasonably advisable actions in order to appropriately reflect the HoldCo Shares issued to the CBRG Shareholders pursuant to, or as a result of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and outstanding immediately following the CBRG Merger Effective Time, including taking any necessary or reasonably advisable actions vis-à-vis HoldCo’s transfer agent, and HoldCo and CBRG shall each reasonably cooperate with the other and HoldCo’s transfer agent in connection with the foregoing.

(b) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, HoldCo shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (or any of its Affiliates) shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Company) 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 Company Merger Effective Time, for the portion of the Transaction Share Consideration issuable in respect of such Company Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(d) (vii) and on the terms and subject to the other conditions set forth in this Agreement. If required by the Exchange Agent, HoldCo shall enter into an exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) in a form and substance that is reasonably acceptable to HoldCo. The Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with HoldCo, the Exchange Agent and their respective Representatives in connection with the appointment of the Exchange Agent, the entry into the Exchange Agent Agreement (including, if necessary or advisable, as determined in good faith by HoldCo, by also entering into the Exchange Agent Agreement in the form agreed to by HoldCo and the Exchange Agent) and the covenants and agreements in this Section 2.6 (including the provision of any information, or the entry into any agreements or documentation, necessary or advisable, as determined in good faith by HoldCo, or otherwise required by the Exchange Agent Agreement for the Exchange Agent to fulfill its duties as the Exchange Agent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby).

(c) If the Exchange Agent requires that, as a condition to receive the Transaction Share Consideration, any holder of Company Shares deliver a Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent, then at or as promptly as practicable following the Company Merger Effective Time, HoldCo shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to the Persons that will be the Company Shareholders as of immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, a Letter of Transmittal (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and the risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper transfer of each share to the Exchange Agent, and which Letter of Transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as HoldCo and the Company may reasonably specify).

(d) At or before the Company Merger Effective Time, HoldCo 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 2.6 through the Exchange Agent, evidence of HoldCo Shares in book-entry form representing the portion of the Transaction Share Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(d) (vii) in exchange for the Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time. All shares in book-entry form representing the portion of the Transaction Share Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(d) (vii) deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund.”

(e) 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(d) (vii), shall be entitled to receive the portion of the Transaction Share Consideration to which he, she or it is entitled 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 other documents or agreements required by the Letter of Transmittal), to the Exchange Agent or (ii) delivery of an “agent’s message” in the case of Company Shares held in book-entry form, together with the delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other documents or agreements required by the Letter of Transmittal), to the Exchange Agent.

(f) 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) or an “agent’s message”, as applicable, and any other documents or agreements required by the Letter of Transmittal, is delivered to the Exchange Agent in accordance with Section 2.6(e) (i) at least two

(2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, then HoldCo and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts 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, and (ii) less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, then Holdco and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable portion of the Transaction Share Consideration to be issued to the applicable Company Shareholder in book-entry form within two (2) Business Days after such delivery.

(g) 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, in addition to any other requirements set forth in the Letter of Transmittal or the Exchange Agent Agreement, (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 or similar 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 or similar Taxes have been paid or are not payable. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Transaction Share Consideration (or any portion thereof). From and after the Company Merger Effective Time, until surrendered or transferred, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.6, each Company Share (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Dissenting Company Shares and the Company Shares cancelled and extinguished pursuant to Section 2.1(d) (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(d) (vii).

(h) At the Company Merger 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 Company Merger Effective Time.

(i) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed twelve (12) months following the Closing Date shall be delivered to HoldCo or as otherwise instructed by HoldCo, 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 2.6 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to HoldCo for the issuance of the applicable portion of the Transaction Share Consideration, as applicable, without any interest thereon. None of HoldCo, the Company, First Surviving Company, Second 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 HoldCo free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.7 Dissenting Shareholders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Company Share for which any Company Shareholder (such Company Shareholder, a “Dissenting Company Shareholder”) (i) has not voted in favor of the Company Merger or consented to it in writing, or has waived its rights of appraisal and (ii) has demanded the appraisal of such Company Shares in accordance with, and has complied in all respects with, NRS 92A.380-390 (collectively, the “Dissenting Company Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of Transaction Share Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(d) (vii). From and after the Company Merger Effective Time, (A) the Dissenting Company Shares shall be cancelled and extinguished and shall cease to exist and (B) the Dissenting Company Shareholders shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under NRS 92A.380-390 and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of a stockholder of the Second Surviving Company or any of its Affiliates (including HoldCo); provided, however, that if any Dissenting Company Shareholder effectively withdraws or loses such appraisal rights (through failure to perfect such appraisal rights or otherwise), then the Company Shares held by such Dissenting Company Shareholder (1) shall no longer be deemed to be Dissenting Company Shares and (2) shall be treated as if they had been converted automatically at the Company Merger Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Transaction Share Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(d) ( vii) upon delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other documents or agreements required by the Letter of Transmittal) and the surrender of the applicable documents and other deliverables set forth in Section 2.6(e). Each Dissenting Company Shareholder who becomes entitled to payment for his, her or its Dissenting Company Shares pursuant to the NRS shall receive payment thereof from the Company in accordance with the NRS. The Company shall give CBRG and HoldCo prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Company Share, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other material developments related to any such demands and provide copies of all documents, instruments or other communications received by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives related thereto and shall otherwise keep CBRG and HoldCo reasonably apprised as to the status and developments related to such matters, and CBRG and HoldCo shall have the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to all such demands.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law, any CBRG Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the CBRG Merger Effective Time for which any CBRG Shareholder (such CBRG Shareholder, a “Dissenting CBRG Shareholder”) has validly exercised properly in writing their dissenters’ rights for such CBRG Shares in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law, and has otherwise complied in all respects with all of the provisions of the Cayman Companies Law relevant to the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights (collectively, the “Dissenting CBRG Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive, and the applicable Dissenting CBRG Shareholder shall have no right to receive, the applicable portion of the CBRG Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c) (vii) unless and until such Dissenting CBRG Shareholder effectively withdraws or loses such dissenters’ rights (through failure to perfect such dissenters’ rights or otherwise) under the Cayman Companies Law. From and after the CBRG Merger Effective Time, (A) the Dissenting CBRG Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and extinguished by virtue of the CBRG Merger and shall cease to exist and (B) the Dissenting CBRG Shareholders shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of a shareholder of the First Surviving Company or any of its Affiliates (including HoldCo); provided, however, that if any Dissenting CBRG Shareholder effectively withdraws or loses such dissenters’ rights (through failure to perfect such dissenters’ rights or otherwise) under the Cayman Companies Law, then the CBRG Shares held by such Dissenting CBRG Shareholder (1) shall no longer be deemed to be Dissenting CBRG Shares and (2) shall be treated as if they had been converted automatically at the CBRG Merger Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the CBRG Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c) (vii) upon delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other documents or agreements required by the Letter of Transmittal) and the surrender of the applicable documents and other deliverables described in Section 2.6(e). Each Dissenting CBRG Shareholder who becomes entitled to payment for his, her or its Dissenting CBRG Shares pursuant to the Cayman Companies Law shall receive payment thereof from CBRG in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law. CBRG shall give HoldCo prompt notice of any written demands for dissenters’ rights of any CBRG Share, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other material developments related to any such demands and provide copies of all documents, instruments or other communications received by CBRG, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives related thereto and shall otherwise keep HoldCo reasonably apprised as to the status and developments related to such matters, and HoldCo shall have the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to all such demands. CBRG shall not, except with the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of HoldCo (prior to the Closing) or the CBRG Sponsor (after the Closing), make any payment or deliver any consideration (including HoldCo Shares) with respect to, settle or offer or agree to settle any such demands.

Section 2.8 Withholding. HoldCo, CBRG, the Group Companies, CBRG Merger Sub, Company Merger Sub, the First Surviving Company, the Second Surviving Company, and the Exchange Agent (and their respective Affiliates) 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, 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. 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), except with respect to compensatory amounts payable to current or former employees.

Section 2.9 Further Assurances. If, at any time after the CBRG Merger Effective Time, any further action is necessary, proper or advisable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, HoldCo, the First Surviving Company, the Company Merger Sub and the Company (or their respective designees) shall take all such actions as are necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws, so long as such action is consistent with and for the purposes of implementing the provisions of this Agreement.

105

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 CBRG, filed with the SEC on November 12, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). The Company acknowledges and agrees and understands that CBRG has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of CBRG’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by CBRG’s underwriters, the “Public Shareholders”), and CBRG may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of CBRG 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 CBRG 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 CBRG 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 CBRG or its Affiliates).
