8.                  Representations and Warranties. Sponsor represents and warrants to SPAC and the Company as follows:

 

(a)               Sponsor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, formed, organized or constituted, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within Sponsor’s limited liability company or corporate powers, as applicable, and have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company or corporate actions on the part of Sponsor, as applicable. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Sponsor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties, this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of Sponsor, enforceable against Sponsor in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy Laws, other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies).

 

(b)               Sponsor is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in the Securities Act) of, and has good and marketable title to, all of Sponsor’s SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Warrants, and there exist no Liens or any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such SPAC Ordinary Shares or SPAC Warrants (other than transfer restrictions under the Securities Act)) affecting any such SPAC Ordinary Shares or SPAC Warrants, other than Liens pursuant to (i) this Agreement, (ii) the SPAC Organizational Documents, (iii) the Merger Agreement, (iv) the Voting Letter Agreement or (v) any applicable securities Laws. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor is the holder of record and the beneficial owner of 3,593,750 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and 4,456,250 SPAC Warrants, all of which are SPAC Private Placement Warrants, and such SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Warrants are the only equity securities in SPAC owned of record or beneficially by Sponsor on the date of this Agreement. Other than the SPAC Warrants, Sponsor does not hold or own any rights to acquire (directly or indirectly) any equity securities of SPAC or any equity securities convertible into, or which can be exchanged for, equity securities of SPAC.

 

(c)               Sponsor has full voting power with respect to all of the Subject SPAC Equity Securities and full power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all Subject SPAC Equity Securities. None of the Subject SPAC Equity Securities are subject to any stockholders’ agreement, proxy, voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction of any kind or nature with respect to the voting of the Subject SPAC Equity Securities, except for the SPAC Organizational Documents and the Voting Letter Agreement.

(d)               The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Sponsor does not, and the performance by Sponsor of its obligations hereunder will not, (i) conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of Sponsor, (ii) require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, (iii) result (or, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would result) in the creation or imposition of any Lien on the Subject SPAC Equity Securities or (iv) violate any Law applicable to Sponsor or by which any of the Subject SPAC Equity Securities are bound, except, in the case of each of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), as would not reasonably be expected to materially impair Sponsor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(e)               There are no Actions pending against Sponsor or, to Sponsor’s knowledge, threatened against Sponsor, before (or, in the case of threatened Actions, that would be before) any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by Sponsor of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(f)                Except as described on Schedule 5.08 to the Merger Agreement, no broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee, underwriting fee, deferred underwriting fee, commission or other similar payment in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by Sponsor, for which SPAC or any of its Affiliates may become liable.

 

(g)               Except as set forth in the SPAC’s final prospectus, dated as of May 18, 2021 and filed with the SEC (File No. 333-253806) on May 18, 2021 and subsequently filed Schedule 13Gs, neither Sponsor nor, to the knowledge of Sponsor, any Person in which Sponsor has a direct or indirect legal, contractual or beneficial ownership of 5% or greater is party to, or has any rights with respect to or arising from, any Contract with SPAC or its Subsidiaries.

 

(h)               Sponsor understands and acknowledges that each of SPAC and each Company Party is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon Sponsor’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

(a)               For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, SPAC will indemnify, exonerate and hold harmless the Sponsor from and against all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith (“Indemnified Liabilities”) incurred by the Sponsor, on or after the date of this Agreement, arising out of any third party action, cause of action, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry, arbitration or claim directly relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement which names the Sponsor as a defendant (or co-defendant) arising from the Sponsor’s ownership of equity securities of SPAC, or its control or ability to influence SPAC; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent arising out of or relating to any actual or alleged breach by the Sponsor of this Agreement or any other agreement to which the Sponsor is a party or (ii) the actual or alleged willful misconduct, recklessness, gross negligence or fraud of the Sponsor.

 

5

 

 

(b)               Promptly after Sponsor becomes aware of any potential action, suit or claim that may give rise to a claim for any Indemnified Liabilities, Sponsor shall promptly notify SPAC and specify in such notice, in reasonable detail, the nature of the claim and an estimated computation of Indemnified Liabilities, as well as other material documents in possession of Sponsor with respect to such claim, provided, that any failure or delay by the Sponsor to notify SPAC shall not relieve SPAC from its obligations hereunder (except to the extent that SPAC has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to promptly notify).  SPAC shall have full control of the defense of any action, claim or suit with respect to the Indemnified Liabilities, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, that SPAC shall not consent to the entry of any order or enter into any settlement agreement without the prior written consent of Sponsor; provided, further, that such consent shall not be required if such order or settlement agreement contains a full and final release by the third party asserting the claim for the benefit of Sponsor, and such order or settlement agreement does not contain any criminal liability or admission of guilt by or impose any other non-monetary injunctive or equitable relief against Sponsor. Sponsor shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim, including by retaining and providing to SPAC all records and information which are reasonably relevant to such claim, making employees available to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder and executing any documents necessary in connection with any settlement or order entered into in compliance with this Section 9(b). Sponsor shall retain all of its documents and records relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and its ownership of equity securities of SPAC for a period of six (6) years following the Closing.

 

(c)               Sponsor shall have the right to employ separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the SPAC to represent it in any such claim with respect to Indemnified Liabilities and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of any such separate counsel shall be at the expense of Sponsor; provided, that, the fees and expenses of any such separate counsel shall be at the expense of SPAC if (i) the claim seeks equitable relief against Sponsor; (ii) Sponsor shall have been advised by counsel in writing, with a copy delivered to SPAC, that the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest between them, including a situation in which one or more legal defenses may be available to Sponsor that are inconsistent with those available to SPAC; or (iii) SPAC authorizes Sponsor in writing to employ separate counsel at SPAC’s expense.

 

(d)               Sponsor shall cooperate fully to assist SPAC in seeking insurance recoveries first in respect of any Indemnified Liabilities.

 

10.              Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate, without any notice or other action by any Party, and be void ab initio upon the earlier of (a) the Effective Time and (b) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. Upon termination of this Agreement as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, none of the Parties shall have any further obligations or liabilities under, or with respect to, this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the termination of this Agreement shall not affect any liability on the part of any Party for Fraud (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) Sections 10 and 11 shall each survive the termination of this Agreement, and (iii) Sections 12 through 27 shall each survive the termination of this Agreement solely to the extent related to any surviving sections.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) Sponsor makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in Sponsor’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of the Subject SPAC Equity Securities and (b) nothing herein will be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction expressly permitted under the Merger Agreement by any representative of Sponsor in such representative’s capacity as a member of the board of directors (or other similar governing body) of any SPAC Party or as an officer, employee or fiduciary of any SPAC Party or an Affiliate of SPAC, in each case, acting in such person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or fiduciary of such SPAC Party.

 

12.               Additional Sponsor Obligations. In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the obligations of SPAC pursuant to Sections 7.15 and 10.02 of the Merger Agreement, Sponsor hereby agrees to take any and all actions reasonably necessary or convenient to extend the period of time that SPAC has to consummate a business combination if the Closing has not been consummated prior to the latest applicable deadline for SPAC to complete a business combination pursuant to the SPAC Organizational Documents, including without limitation, to request such an extension from the Board of Directors of SPAC and to deposit additional funds in the Trust Account, all as prescribed and in accordance with the SPAC Organizational Documents.

 

13.              Further Assurances.

14.              No Legal Action. Sponsor shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to and shall direct its Representatives not to, bring, commence, institute, maintain, or prosecute any claim, appeal or proceeding which (a) challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement, or (b) alleges that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Sponsor breaches any duty that Sponsor has (or may be alleged to have) to SPAC or to the other stockholders of SPAC; provided that the foregoing shall not limit or restrict in any manner the rights of SPAC under the Merger Agreement or of Sponsor to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

 

15.              Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be waived if the waiver is set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. Any delay in exercising any right pursuant to this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right.

Any attempted assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 17 shall be null and void, ab initio.

25.              Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement may be brought in federal and state courts located in the State of Delaware, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any Party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other Party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this Section 25. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

26.              Non-Recourse.

27.              Enforcement of the Agreement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur if the Parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) SPAC and the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither of SPAC nor the Company, in seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 27, shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.
