waived or remain capable of satisfaction as of such date, then the Termination Date shall automatically be extended (on no more than two (2) occasions) for a period of ninety (90) calendar days (first to October 25, 2021 and then, if at such time the conditions set forth in clauses (I) and (II) of this proviso continue to be satisfied, to January 25, 2022) and (B) if any Action for specific performance or other equitable relief by Tempo with respect to this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement, or otherwise with respect to the Transactions is commenced or pending on or before the Termination Date, then the Termination Date shall be automatically extended without any further action by any Party until the date that is 30 days following the date on which a final, non-appealable Governmental Order has been entered with respect to such Action and the Termination Date shall be deemed to be such later date for all purposes of this Agreement (as the Termination Date may be extended pursuant to clause (B), the Extended Termination Date), or (iii) the consummation of the Merger is permanently enjoined or prohibited by the terms of a final, non-appealable Governmental Order or a statute, rule or regulation; provided, that, the right to terminate this Agreement under subsection (i), (ii) or (iii) shall not be available if FTACs failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;
(c) prior to the Closing, by written notice to FTAC from Tempo if (i) there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the FTAC Parties set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions specified in Section 11.03(a) or Section 11.03(b) would not be satisfied at the Closing (a Terminating FTAC Breach), except that, if any such Terminating FTAC Breach is curable by the FTAC Parties through the exercise of their commercially reasonable efforts, then, for a period of up to 30 days (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date Tempo provides written notice of such violation or breach and the Termination Date or Extended Termination Date, as applicable) after receipt by FTAC of notice from Tempo of such breach, but only as long as the FTAC Parties continue to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Terminating FTAC Breach (the FTAC Cure Period), such termination shall not be effective, and such termination shall become effective only if the Terminating FTAC Breach is not cured within FTAC Cure Period, (ii) the Closing has not occurred on or before the Termination Date, or (iii) the consummation of the Merger is permanently enjoined or prohibited by the terms of a final, non-appealable Governmental Order or a statute, rule or regulation; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under subsection (i), (ii) or (iii) shall not be available if Tempos or any Tempo Blockers failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;
(d) by written notice from either Tempo or FTAC to the other if the Required FTAC Stockholder Approvals are not obtained at the Special Meeting (subject to any adjournment, postponement or recess of the meeting); provided, that, the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.01(d) shall not be available to FTAC if, at the time of such termination, FTAC is in breach of Section 10.03; or
(e) by FTAC if the Tempo Blocker Written Consents and the Tempo Written Consent are not delivered to FTAC within twenty-four hours of the Form S-4 becoming effective.
Section 12.02 Effect of Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 12.02 or Section 13.13, in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any Party or its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or stockholders, other than liability of any Party for any Willful Breach of this Agreement by such Party occurring prior to such termination. The term Willful Breach means a Partys material breach of any of its representations or warranties as set forth in this Agreement,
- 108 -
or such Partys material breach of any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which material breach constitutes, or is a consequence of, a purposeful act or failure to act by such Party with the knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a material breach of this Agreement. The provisions of Section 8.03 (No Claim Against the Trust Account), Section 10.06 (Confidentiality; Publicity), this Section 12.02 (Effect of Termination) and Article XIII (collectively, the Surviving Provisions) and the Confidentiality Agreement, and any other Section or Article of this Agreement referenced in the Surviving Provisions which is required to survive in order to give appropriate effect to the Surviving Provisions, shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XIII

Section 13.03 Assignment. No Party shall assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other Parties (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided such Party remains fully responsible for the performance of any delegated obligations); provided, that
- 112 -
Tempo may delegate the performance of its obligations or assign its rights hereunder in part or in whole to any Affiliate of Tempo so long as Tempo remains fully responsible for the performance of the delegated obligations. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 13.03 shall be null and void, ab initio.
Section 13.04 Rights of Third Parties. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any Person, other than the Parties, any right or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing (a) in the event the Closing occurs, the present and former officers and directors of Tempo, the Company and FTAC (and their successors, heirs and representatives) and each of their respective Indemnitee Affiliates are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Section 9.01 and (b) the past, present and future directors, officers, employees, incorporators, members, partners, stockholders, Affiliates, agents, attorneys, advisors and representatives of the Parties, and any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (and their successors, heirs and representatives), are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Section 13.14 and Section 13.15 and (c) Counsel are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Section 13.17.
Section 13.05 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions herein contemplated if the Transactions are not consummated, including all fees of its legal counsel, financial advisers and accountants; provided that if the Closing occurs, the Company shall bear and pay, or cause to be paid, at or promptly after Closing, all of the Transaction Expenses.
Section 13.06 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.
Section 13.07 Captions; Counterparts. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by means of telecopied signature pages or electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf) or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties irrevocably and unreservedly agree that this Agreement may be executed by way of electronic signatures and the Parties agree that this Agreement, or any part thereof, shall not be challenged or denied any legal effect, validity and/or enforceability solely on the ground that it is in the form of an electronic record.
Section 13.08 Schedules and Exhibits. The Schedules and Exhibits referenced herein are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. All references herein to Schedules and Exhibits shall be deemed references to such parts of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require. Any disclosure made by a Party in the Schedules with reference to any section or schedule of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to all other sections or schedules to which such disclosure may apply solely to the extent the relevance of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure in such Schedule. Certain information set forth in the Schedules is included solely for informational purposes.
- 113 -
Section 13.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement), the other Transaction Agreements and that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2020, by and between Tempo and FTAC (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the Confidentiality Agreement), constitute the entire agreement among the Parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exist between the Parties except as expressly set forth or referenced in this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement.
Section 13.10 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement. The approval of this Agreement by the members or equityholders of any of the Parties shall not restrict the ability of the board of directors (or other body or entity performing similar functions) of any of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.01 or, subject to applicable Law, including the DGCL, to cause such Party to enter into an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.10.
Section 13.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.
Section 13.12 Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby 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 or the transactions contemplated hereby 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 13.12. 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 OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Section 13.13 Enforcement. 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) or any Transaction Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any Transaction 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 12.01, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement, and (ii) 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
- 114 -
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 or any Transaction Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement in accordance with this Section 13.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, FTAC acknowledges and agrees that Tempo may, without breach of this Agreement, with respect to any Transaction Agreement to which Tempo is a party, institute or pursue an Action directly against the counterparty(ies) to such Transaction Agreement seeking, or seek or obtain a court order against the counterparty(ies) to such Transaction Agreement for, injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief with respect to such Transaction Agreement.
Section 13.14 Non-Recourse. Subject in all respects to the last sentence of this Section 13.14, 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 and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except to the extent a Party hereto (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such Party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any Party and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, 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 one or more of Tempo, the Tempo Blockers or the FTAC Parties under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 13.14 shall limit, amend or waive any rights of any party to any Transaction Agreement under such Transaction Agreement; provided such rights can only be enforced against the actual parties to the applicable Transaction Agreements in accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 13.15 Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. 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 instead shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Closing (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 at or after the Closing and then only with respect to any breaches occurring at or after the Closing (including, for the avoidance of doubt Section 10.05(b)) and (b) this Article XIII.
Section 13.16 Acknowledgements.
(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives) that: (i) it has conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the other Parties (and their respective Subsidiaries) and has been afforded satisfactory access to the books and records, facilities and personnel of the other Parties (and their respective Subsidiaries) for purposes of conducting such investigation; (ii) the Tempo Representations constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Tempo; (iii) the FTAC Representations constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of
- 115 -
FTAC; (iv) the Tempo Blocker Representations constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Tempo Blockers; (v) except for the Tempo Representations by Tempo, the FTAC Representations by the FTAC Parties and the Tempo Blocker Representations by the Tempo Blockers, none of the Parties or any other Person makes, or has made, any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to any Party (or any Partys Subsidiaries), including any implied warranty or representation as to condition, merchantability, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose or trade as to any of the assets of the such Party or its Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including (x) regarding the completeness or accuracy of, or any omission to state or to disclose, any information, including in the estimates, projections or forecasts or any other information, document or material provided to or made available to any Party or their respective Affiliates or Representatives in certain data rooms, management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the Transactions, including meetings, calls or correspondence with management of any Party (or any Partys Subsidiaries), and (y) any relating to the future or historical business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of any Party (or its Subsidiaries), or the quality, quantity or condition of any Partys or its Subsidiaries assets) are specifically disclaimed by all Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and all other Persons (including the Representatives and Affiliates of any Party or its Subsidiaries); and (vi) each Party and its respective Affiliates are not relying on any representations and warranties in connection with the Transactions except the Tempo Representations by Tempo, the FTAC Representations by the FTAC Parties and the Tempo Blocker Representations by the Tempo Blockers. The foregoing does not limit any rights of any Party pursuant to any other Transaction Agreement against any other Party pursuant to such Transaction Agreement to which it is a party or an express third party beneficiary thereof. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, FTAC understands and agrees that any assets, properties and business of Tempo and its Subsidiaries are furnished as is, where is and subject to and except for the Tempo Representations by Tempo or as provided in any certificate delivered in accordance with Section 11.02(c), with all faults and without any other representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever.
(b) Effective upon Closing, each of the Parties waives, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates and Representatives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, Actions and causes of action it may have against any other Party or their respective Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former Affiliates or Representatives relating to the operation of any Party or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Schedules, or the Exhibits to this Agreement, whether arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign statute, Law, ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it will not assert, institute or maintain any Action, suit, investigation, or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross-claim, or defense, regardless of the legal or equitable theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, that makes any claim contrary to the agreements and covenants set forth in this Section 13.16. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 13.16(b) shall preclude any Party from seeking any remedy for actual and intentional fraud by a Party solely and exclusively with respect to the making of any representation or warranty by it in Article V, Article VI or Article VII (as applicable). Each Party shall have the right to enforce this Section 13.16 on behalf of any Person that would be benefitted or protected by this Section 13.16 if they were a party hereto. The foregoing agreements, acknowledgements, disclaimers and waivers are irrevocable. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 13.16 shall limit, modify, restrict or operate as a waiver with respect to, any rights any Party may have under any written agreement entered into in connection with the transactions that are contemplated by this Agreement, including any other Transaction Agreement.
- 116 -
Section 13.17 Obligations are Several. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all obligations, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement are several and not joint.
Section 13.18 Provisions Respecting Representation of Tempo. Each of the Parties hereby, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, managers, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, recognizes that Kirkland & Ellis LLP, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP and Dechert LLP (collectively, Counsel) has served and may serve as counsel to some or all of Tempo and/or the Tempo Blockers, on the one hand, and the Tempo Blocker Owners and their respective Affiliates (individually and collectively, the Seller Group), on the other hand, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and agrees that, following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Counsel (or any of their respective successors) may serve as counsel to any member of the Seller Group or any director, manager, member, partner, officer, employee or Affiliate of any member of the Seller Group, in connection with any Action or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding such representation or any continued representation of Tempo, the Tempo Blockers and/or any of their Subsidiaries, and each of the Parties (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each of such parties shall cause any Affiliate thereof to consent to irrevocably waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. The Parties agree to take the steps necessary to ensure that any privilege attaching as a result of Counsel representing Tempo or any of its Subsidiaries or either of the Tempo Blockers or any of the Tempo Blocker Owners in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall remain in effect, provided that with respect to any Privileged Communications such privilege from and after the Closing shall be controlled by (i) the Unitholder Representative on behalf of Tempo and its Affiliates, (ii) GIC and Platinum Falcon together on behalf of the Tempo Blockers and (iii) the applicable Tempo Blocker Owner on behalf of any Tempo Blocker Owner. As to any privileged attorney-client communications prior to the Closing between (x) Counsel and Tempo or Counsel and any of Tempos Subsidiaries, (y) Counsel and the Tempo Blockers or (z) Counsel and any Tempo Blocker Owner or its respective Affiliates, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the Privileged Communications), FTAC, Tempo and each of its Subsidiaries, and the Tempo Blockers together with any of their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, successors or assigns, agree that no such party may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications in any action against or involving any of the parties after the Closing. In addition, if the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, all Privileged Communications related to such transactions will become the property of (and be controlled by) (A) the Unitholder Representative on behalf of Tempos direct or indirect equityholders prior to the Closing in the case of clause (x) above, (B) GIC and Platinum Falcon on behalf of the Tempo Blockers in the case of clause (y) above, and (C) the applicable Tempo Blocker Owner in the case of clause (z) above, and none of FTAC, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, successors or assigns shall take any action based on any copies of such records or intentionally access them, subject to the following sentence. In the event that the Company is legally required or requested by any Governmental Authority to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Communications, the Company shall be entitled to access or obtain a copy of and disclose the Privileged Communications to the extent necessary to comply with any such legal requirement or request; provided that the Company shall promptly notify the Unitholder Representative, GIC, Platinum Falcon or the applicable Tempo Blocker Owner in writing (prior to the disclosure by the Company of any Privileged Communications to the extent practicable) so that the Unitholder Representative, GIC, Platinum Falcon or the applicable Tempo Blocker Owner, as the case may be, can seek a protective order, at its sole cost and expense (it being agreed that in no event shall any of the foregoing Persons be required to commence or pursue any litigation), and the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist therewith.
