In the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed SPAC Certificate or Company Certificate, the holder thereof shall deliver a Lost Certificate Affidavit (and indemnity, if required) in the manner provided in Section 2.11(g), in each case to Holdings or the Exchange Agent, together with any related documentation reasonably requested by Holdings or Exchange Agent in connection therewith.

(b) Certificates representing the Holdings Ordinary Shares shall be issued to the holders of the Continuing Company Shares and to the holders of SPAC Ordinary Shares (other than Redeeming SPAC Shareholders and Dissenting SPAC Shareholders) upon surrender of the Company Certificates, and SPAC Certificates, respectively, as provided for herein or otherwise agreed by the Parties. Upon surrender of the Company Certificates and SPAC Certificates (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate or SPAC Certificate, upon delivery of a Lost Certificate Affidavit (and indemnity, if required) in the manner provided in Section 2.11(g)) for cancellation to Holdings or to the Exchange Agent, Holdings shall issue, or cause to be issued, to the holders of the Continuing Company Shares and to the holders of the SPAC Certificates (other than Redeeming SPAC Shareholders and Dissenting SPAC Shareholders) such certificates representing the number of Holdings Ordinary Shares for which their Continuing Company Shares, and SPAC Ordinary Shares, respectively, are exchangeable at the applicable Effective Time, and the Company Certificates, and SPAC Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, (A) outstanding Company Certificates will be deemed, from and after the Company Merger Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Company Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article II, and (B) outstanding SPAC Certificates (other than those held by Redeeming SPAC Shareholders and Dissenting SPAC Shareholders) will be deemed, from and after the SPAC Merger Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the number of Holdings Ordinary Shares into which the applicable SPAC Ordinary Shares have been converted in the Mergers.

(c) If certificates representing the Holdings Ordinary Shares are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Company Certificates, or SPAC Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Company Certificates, or SPAC Certificates so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Persons requesting such exchange, will have (i) paid to Holdings or the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates representing the Holdings Ordinary Shares in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Company Certificates, or SPAC Certificates surrendered, or (ii) established to the satisfaction of Holdings or the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) If required by the Exchange Agent, at least three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, the holders of the Continuing Company Shares shall deliver to the Exchange Agent a letter of transmittal or other document to exchange their Company Certificates for their respective portions of the Company Merger Consideration in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Parties and the Exchange Agent (a “Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that the delivery of share certificates, if any, in respect of the Company Merger Consideration shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Company Certificates to Holdings or the Exchange Agent (or a Lost Certificate Affidavit)) for use in such exchange or pursuant to other procedures of the Exchange Agent. The holders of the Continuing Company Shares shall be entitled to receive their respective portions of the Company Merger Consideration in respect of the Continuing Company Shares represented by the Company Certificates, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company Merger Effective Time, but subject to the delivery to Holdings or the Exchange Agent of (i) if such holder of Continuing Company Shares is an officer, director, insider, or holder of five percent (5%) or more of the Company’s fully-diluted equity securities, a duly executed counterpart to the Company Lock-Up Agreement with Holdings which may include items reasonably requested by the Exchange Agent to effectuate the issuance of the Company Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement. Until so surrendered, each Company Certificate shall represent after the Company Merger Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such portion of the Company Merger Consideration attributable to such Company Certificate.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a Holdings Ordinary Share will be issued by Holdings by virtue of this Agreement or the Transactions, and each Person that would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Holdings Ordinary Share (after aggregating all fractional Holdings Ordinary Shares that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall instead have the number of Holdings Ordinary Shares issued in the aggregate to such Person rounded up to the nearest whole Holdings Ordinary Share.

(f) In the event any Company Certificate or SPAC Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the delivery of an affidavit of that fact (a “Lost Certificate Affidavit”) by the Person claiming such Company Certificate or SPAC Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed to the Exchange Agent and, if required by Holdings, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be reasonably required by Holdings as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Certificate, or SPAC Certificate, Holdings will issue or cause to be issued the number of Holdings Ordinary Shares for which such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates, or SPAC Certificates are exchangeable at the relevant Effective Time; provided that no Holdings Ordinary Shares shall be issued to Redeeming SPAC Shareholders, Dissenting SPAC Shareholders or Company Shareholders other than Continuing Company Shareholders.

In the case of any such payment to employees of the Company or its Affiliates and treated as compensation, the Parties shall cooperate to pay such amounts through Holdings’ or its Subsidiary’s payroll to facilitate applicable withholding.

Each independent contractor of the Company (each, an “Independent Contractor” and collectively, the “Independent Contractors”) who has performed services for the Company while classified as an independent contractor has satisfied the requirements of applicable Laws to be so classified.

(a) SPAC duly filed all required registration statements, reports, schedules, forms, statements, prospectuses and other documents required to be filed or furnished by it with the SEC under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act, since its incorporation (collectively, as they have been amended since the time of their filing and including all exhibits thereto, the “SEC Reports”). SPAC has heretofore furnished to the Company true and correct copies of all amendments and modifications that have not been filed by SPAC with the SEC to all agreements, documents and other instruments that previously had been filed by SPAC with the SEC and are currently in effect. The SEC Reports (x) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and (y) did not, as of their respective effective dates (in the case of SEC Reports that are registration statements filed pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act) and at the time they were filed with the SEC (in the case of all other SEC Reports) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All certifications and statements required by (A) Rules 13a-14 or 15d-14 under the Exchange Act, and (B) 18 U.S.C. §1350 (Section 906 of SOX) with respect to any SEC Report were each true as of their respective dates of filing. The audited financial statements and unaudited interim financial statements (including, in each case, the notes and schedules thereto) included in or incorporated by reference in the SEC Reports (the “SPAC Financials”) complied as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, were prepared in accordance with IFRS applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto and except with respect to unaudited statements as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) and Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable, and fairly present (subject, in the case of the unaudited interim financial statements included therein, to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of complete footnotes) in all material respects the financial position of SPAC as of the respective dates thereof and the results of SPAC’s operations and cash flows for the respective periods then ended.

(b) Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports or permitted by virtue of SPAC’s status as an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, SPAC has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to SPAC is made known to SPAC’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared. Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting SPAC’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to material information required to be included in SPAC’s periodic reports under the Exchange Act.

(c) The Company shall promptly inform the SPAC of any material communication received from or sent to any Person or Governmental Authority, including the SEC, the Federal Trade Commission or U.S. Department of Justice or similar non-United States Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and if in writing furnish to the SPAC copies of any notices or written communications received from or sent to any Governmental Authority and if oral provide an accurate summary of such communications. The Company shall permit SPAC’s counsel an opportunity to review in advance, and the Company shall consider in good faith the views of such counsel in connection with, any proposed written communications by the Company to any Governmental Authority concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that the Company shall not extend any waiting period or comparable period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority without the prior written consent of SPAC. The Company agrees to provide, to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Authority, SPAC and its counsel the opportunity, on reasonable advance notice, to participate in any substantive meetings or discussions, either in person or by telephone, between the Company and/or any of its Affiliates, agents or advisors, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, concerning or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.04 Termination of Certain Agreements. Prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause the Contracts listed on Schedule 5.04 (if any) to be terminated without any further force and effect without any cost or other liability or obligation to the Company or its Subsidiaries, and there shall be no further obligations of any of the relevant parties thereunder following the Closing.

5.05 No SPAC Ordinary Shares Transactions. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Company Merger Effective Time, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or controlling Affiliates, directly or indirectly, shall engage in any transactions involving the securities of SPAC without the prior consent of SPAC. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to require each of its Subsidiaries and controlling Affiliates to comply with the foregoing sentence.

5.06 No Claim Against the Trust Account. The Company acknowledges that it has read SPAC’s IPO Prospectus and other SEC Reports, the SPAC’s Organizational Documents, and the Trust Agreement and understands that SPAC has established the Trust Account described therein for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. The Company further acknowledges that, if the Transactions, or, in the event of termination of this Agreement, another Business Combination, are not consummated by May 2, 2024 or such later date as approved by the shareholders of SPAC to complete a Business Combination, SPAC will be obligated to return to its shareholders the amounts being held in the Trust Account. Accordingly, the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account and SPAC to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by SPAC or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason whatsoever. This Section 5.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

5.07 Proxy Solicitation; Other Actions.

(a) The Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide SPAC, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, audited financial statements with an unqualified audit opinion, including consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of cash flows, and statements of shareholders equity of the Group Companies as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and unaudited interim statements for the most recent quarter preceding the date of the filing of the Proxy Statement, in each case, prepared in accordance with IFRS, and Regulation S-X. The Group Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make their officers and employees available to, in each case, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advanced notice, SPAC and its counsel in connection with (i) the drafting of the Proxy Statement and (ii) responding in a timely manner to comments on the Proxy Statement from the SEC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with SPAC in connection with the preparation for inclusion in the Proxy Statement of pro forma financial statements that comply with the requirements of Regulation S-X under the rules and regulations of the SEC (as interpreted by the staff of the SEC).

(b) From and after the date on which the Proxy Statement is mailed to the SPAC Shareholders, the Company will give SPAC prompt written notice of any action taken or not taken by the Company or its Subsidiaries or of any development regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries, in any such case which is known by the Company, that would cause the Proxy Statement to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that, if any such action shall be taken or fail to be taken or such development shall otherwise occur, SPAC and the Company shall cooperate fully to cause an amendment or supplement to be made promptly to the Proxy Statement or, to the extent required by Securities Laws, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, such that the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement no longer contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, further, however, that no information received by SPAC pursuant to this Section 5.07 shall operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by the party who disclosed such information, and no such information shall be deemed to change, supplement or amend the Schedules.

5.08 Consent of Company Shareholders. As soon as practicable following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days following the effectiveness date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall obtain and deliver to the SPAC consent of Company Shareholders, pursuant to which the equityholders of Company have agreed, among other things, to vote (whether pursuant to a duly convened meeting of the equityholders of the Company or pursuant to a resolution in writing of the equityholders of the Company) in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement, the Company Merger and the other documents contemplated hereby and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

COVENANTS OF SPAC

6.01 HSR Act and Regulatory Approvals.

(a) During the Interim Period and subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, the SPAC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to obtain the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as necessary to consummate and make effective prior to the Outside Date, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In connection with the Transactions, SPAC shall (i) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act promptly after the date of this Agreement, (ii) comply with or otherwise resolve, diligently and at the earliest practicable date, any request from the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, or any other Governmental Authority for additional information, documents, or other materials under the HSR Act or other antitrust Laws in respect of such registrations, filings, applications or notices of the Transactions, and (iii) take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary, proper or advisable consistent with this Section 6.01 to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods, or receipt of required authorizations, as applicable, under the HSR Act as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event prior to the Outside Date).

(b) In furtherance of Section 6.01(a) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, during the Interim Period, SPAC shall take, and shall cause its Affiliates to take, any and all commercially reasonable action necessary to obtain any necessary approval or obtain the expiration of any waiting or suspension period under the HSR Act or other antitrust Laws and to prevent the initiation of any lawsuit by any Governmental Authority under any antitrust Laws or to prevent the entry of any Governmental Order that would otherwise make the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement unlawful, so as to enable the Parties hereto to close the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, prior to the Outside Date, including, but not limited to, commercially reasonable actions during the Interim Period (i) to sell, license, otherwise dispose of or hold separate, or agree to sell, license, otherwise dispose of or hold separate, any entities, assets, technology, Intellectual Property rights or facilities of either the SPAC, its Affiliates, or the Company; (ii) to terminate, amend or assign existing relationships or contractual rights and obligations; (iii) to amend, assign or terminate existing licenses or other agreements or enter into new licenses or other agreements; (iv) to change or modify any course of conduct or otherwise make any commitment (to any Governmental Authority or otherwise) regarding future operations of SPAC, its Affiliates, or the Company; or (v) otherwise to take or commit to take any actions that would limit SPAC’s or any of its Affiliates’ freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of SPAC’s or its Affiliates’ businesses, product lines, licenses, operations, rights, assets or rights or interests therein, or the ability of any Affiliate of SPAC to vote, transfer, receive dividends or otherwise exercise full ownership rights with respect to the shares in SPAC. If, despite the foregoing, any legal proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any antitrust Law, SPAC shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend such legal proceeding and to prevent, lift or rescind any injunction or restraining order or other Governmental Order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including commercially reasonable efforts to defend, contest, or otherwise resist any legal proceeding, including any legal proceeding seeking a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, or Governmental Order by any Governmental Authority or private party, challenging the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any antitrust Law.

(c) The SPAC and the Company shall each keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required consents, authorizations, orders, or approvals of any Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 5.03 and this Section 6.01. The SPAC shall promptly inform the Company of any material communication received from or sent to any Person or Governmental Authority, including the Federal Trade Commission or U.S. Department of Justice or similar non-United States Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and if in writing furnish to the Company copies of any notices or written communications received from or sent to any Governmental Authority and if oral provide an accurate summary of such communications. The SPAC shall permit the Company’s counsel an opportunity to review in advance, and the SPAC shall consider in good faith the views of such counsel in connection with, any proposed written communications by the SPAC to any Governmental Authority concerning the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that the SPAC shall not extend any waiting period or comparable period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority without the prior written consent of Company. The SPAC agrees to provide, to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Authority, the Company and its counsel the opportunity, on reasonable advance notice, to participate in any substantive meetings or discussions, either in person or by telephone, between the SPAC and/or any of its Affiliates, agents or advisors, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, concerning or in connection with the Transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that SPAC shall have the principal responsibility for devising and implementing the strategy for obtaining any necessary antitrust consents or approvals, including expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, and shall lead and direct all submissions to, meetings and communications with any Governmental Authority or other party in connection with antitrust matters.

(d) SPAC and the Company shall each pay their respective antitrust filing fees in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.02 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Subject to Section 6.01(b)), from and after the applicable Effective Time, Holdings agrees that it will, and will cause the SPAC Surviving Subsidiary and Company Surviving Subsidiary, to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Group Companies and SPAC against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Action against such Person in their capacity as an officer or director, whether civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the applicable Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the applicable Effective Time a (“D&O Indemnifiable Claim”), to the fullest extent that the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries, Holdings or SPAC, as the case may be, are under applicable Law and their respective certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of association, bylaws, or other Organizational Documents in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such Person (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law). Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to Section 6.01(b), Holdings shall, and shall cause SPAC Surviving Subsidiary and Company Surviving Subsidiary, to (i) maintain for a period of not less than six (6) years from the applicable Effective Time provisions in their respective certificates of incorporation (if applicable), memorandum and articles of association, bylaws and other Organizational Documents concerning the indemnification and exculpation (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of officers and directors for D&O Indemnifiable Claims that are no less favorable to those Persons than the provisions of such certificates of incorporation (if applicable), bylaws and other Organizational Documents as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Law.

(b) For a period of six (6) years from the applicable Effective Time, Holdings shall, and shall cause the SPAC Surviving Subsidiary and Company Surviving Subsidiary, to maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those Persons who are currently covered by the SPAC’s, the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (a true, correct and complete copy of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance has been heretofore made available to SPAC or its agents or Representatives) for liability prior to the date hereof, on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage, except that in no event shall Holdings be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of 300% of the aggregate annual premium payable by the Group Companies for such insurance policy for the year ended December 31, 2023; provided, however, that (i) Holdings shall cause coverage to be extended under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a six (6) year “tail” policy containing terms not materially less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to D&O Indemnifiable Claims existing or occurring at or prior to the applicable Effective Time, and the premiums and all other cost of such “tail” policy shall be paid for at the Closing in accordance with Section 2.16, and (ii) if any claim or Action is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 6.02 shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event there is a D&O Indemnifiable Claim against a Person that (i) would have been covered by the SPAC’s, the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, and (ii) such D&O Indemnifiable Claim relates to or arises from events prior to or at the Extraordinary General Meeting, including in connection with the Transactions, then the “tail” policy shall be the first source of recourse for each Person subject to claim or Action (on a primary non-contributory basis) and such Person must exhaust recourse against the “tail” policy before seeking indemnification (including advancement of expenses) or exculpation against Holdings, the SPAC Surviving Subsidiary or the Company Surviving Subsidiary for a D&O Indemnifiable Claim.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 6.02 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on Holdings, SPAC Surviving Subsidiary and Company Surviving Subsidiary and their respective successors and assigns. In the event that Holdings, SPAC Surviving Subsidiary, Company Surviving Subsidiary or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Holdings, as the case may be, shall ensure that proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Holdings, SPAC Surviving Subsidiary or Company Surviving Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.02.

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 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, except as otherwise provided herein, (a) the Parties 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, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01, 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 contemplated by this Agreement 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 any Party 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 10.14 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

10.15 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except for the named Parties to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by each named Party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any named Party and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any Party under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.16 Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Except (x) as otherwise contemplated by Section 9.02, or (y) in the case of claim against a Person in respect of such Person’s actual fraud, none of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and other provisions, shall survive the Closing, and shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the applicable Effective Time (and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect thereof), except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part after the Closing and then only with respect to any breaches occurring after the Closing and (b) this Article X.
