WHEREAS, the Parties entered into that certain Merger and Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2022 (the “Original Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, among other matters, upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (a) Merger Sub shall merge with and into CHC, with CHC continuing as the surviving entity in the merger, as a result of which, (i) CHC shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco and (ii) each issued and outstanding security of CHC immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive a substantially equivalent security of Pubco (the “Merger”), and (b) Pubco shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding Delta Shares from the Sellers in exchange for ordinary shares of Pubco (the “Share Exchange” and, collectively with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, the “Transactions”), all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement and in accordance with the provisions of applicable law;

 

WHEREAS, the Parties entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to Merger and Exchange Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2023 (the “First Amendment”, and the Original Agreement as amended by the First Amendment, the “First Amended Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transactions, the Parties desire to amend the Original Agreement upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein (the Original Agreement, as amended pursuant to this Amendment and as may be further amended, supplemented, modified and/or restated from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Agreement”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Amendments to the Agreement.

 

1.1 Amendment to Recitals. The words “simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement” in the Fifth Recital of the Agreement are hereby deleted and replaced with the words “simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or prior to the Closing”.

 

1.2 Amendment to Section 7.7. Clause (c) of Section 7.7 of the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: “(c) has been advised and understands that (i) to the extent that the Exchange Shares are not registered under the Registration Statement, the Exchange Shares (x) are being issued in reliance upon one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities Laws, and (y) have not been and shall not be registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities Laws and, therefore, must be held indefinitely and cannot be resold unless such Exchange Shares are registered under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws, unless exemptions from registration are available, and (ii) the Exchange Shares are subject to additional restrictions on transfer pursuant to such Seller’s Lock-Up Agreement”.

 

 
 

 

1.3 Amendment to Section 10.1. Clause (b) of Section 10.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: “(b) by written notice by CHC or Delta if any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article IX have not been satisfied or waived by April 1, 2024 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(b) shall not be available to a Party if the breach or violation by such Party or its Affiliates (or with respect to Delta, the Sellers, Pubco or Merger Sub) of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement was the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date”.

 

1.4 Amendment to Section 10.4. The words “pursuant to Section 10.3(h)” in clause (c) of Section 10.4 of the Agreement are hereby deleted and replaced with the words “pursuant to Section 10.1(h)”.
