(a)On the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the Redemption Closing Time, Sponsor and SPAC shall send a notice to each Owner (the “Notice”) specifying: (i) SPAC’s good faith estimate of the amount of the Net Available Assets; (ii) based on such estimates, the amount (if any) by which such Net Available Assets is less than the Minimum Cash Amount (such difference as specified in the Notice, the “Backstop Amount”), provided that the Backstop Amount shall not be greater than the Minimum Cash Amount; and (iii) whether Sponsor will exercise the Election (as defined below), and if Sponsor opts to exercise such Election, the amount of Sponsor’s Contribution Commitment (as defined below) that Sponsor shall elect to have Owners fund (such amount, the “Election Amount”).

 

(b)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, if the Backstop Amount as specified in the Notice is a positive amount, then, immediately prior to the Closing, each of Sponsor, UGVL and Theo hereby agrees to contribute to SPAC such Party’s Applicable Percentage of the Backstop Amount (with respect to such Party, such Party’s “Contribution Commitment”).

 

(c)Each of Sponsor and Owners may make their Contribution Commitment (and any Owner Percentage contributed as a result of Sponsor’s exercise of the Election) (the person making such Contribution Commitment, including any Owner Percentage of the Election amount, the (“Contributor”) in any combination of the following:

 

(i)in cash in immediately available funds contributed to Holdco immediately prior to Closing, provided that such funding shall be subject to Section 1.01(d);

 

(ii)by arranging for and obtaining written commitments with SPAC Stockholder seeking to exercise their Redemption Rights (collectively, the “Redeeming Stockholders”) to reverse such exercise (“Redemption Reversals”) such that Owners or Sponsor, as applicable, shall pay to such Redeeming Stockholders an amount in cash equal to the value of such Redeeming Stockholders’ SPAC Common Stock (with such SPAC Common Stock being valued at $10.00 per share) in exchange for the transfer of such Redeeming Stockholders’ right, title and interest in such SPAC Common Stock to the Owners; provided that, such Redemption Reversal commitments shall be effective (and the Contributor may elect to its Contribution Commitment pursuant to this Section 1.01(c)(ii) only) if the applicable Redeeming Stockholder agrees in writing to deliver to each Contributor, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, evidence that the SPAC Common Stock to be transferred to such Owner were transferred in book-entry form to the name of such Contributor (or its designee in accordance with delivery instructions), free and clear of any Liens (other than those arising under applicable securities laws), in the name of such Contributor (or its designee in accordance with its delivery instructions), as of immediately prior to the Closing; and

 

(iii)by arranging for and obtaining written commitments from Redeeming Stockholders to exercise Redemption Reversals (subject to the limitations in the manner contemplated by Section 1.01(c)(ii)) in exchange for such Contributor’s guarantee of payment or other agreed form of consideration to be agreed by such Contributor and such Redeeming Stockholders.

(d)At the Closing, with respect to any Contributor’s contribution that is made in cash pursuant to Section 1.01(c)(i), Holdco will issue a number of Holdco ordinary shares with value equal to such Contributor’s Contribution Commitment, with each Holdco ordinary share being valued at $10.00 per share. To the extent any Contributor is entitled to receive Holdco ordinary shares pursuant to this Section 1.01(d), each party hereto will take all necessary and required steps and execute any reasonable requested documentation required to effect the issuance. As soon as possible after the Closing Date, Holdco shall deliver to each Contributor evidence of the issuance of such Holdco ordinary shares issued pursuant to the foregoing. For illustrative purposes and as an example, if (i) the Contributors are required to contribute $10,000,000, (ii) Sponsor makes the Election with respect to the full amount its Contribution Commitment and (iii) each Owner desires to make its contributions, which means the Contribution Commitment plus its Owner Percentage of the Election Amount, in cash only, then each Owner shall receive Holdco ordinary shares with respect to $2,500,000 of cash contributions plus the Owner Percentage of the Election Amount of cash contributions and each Owner shall receive SPAC Common Stock from the SPAC Sponsor with respect to the Election Amount contributed in accordance with Section 1.02.

(i)If Sponsor exercises its Election, Sponsor shall only be required to (A) fund an amount in cash equal to the amount of its Contribution Commitment minus the Election Amount in order to satisfy its Contribution Commitment and (B) transfer to each Owner the Transferred Shares (as defined below) as consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, if Sponsor has elected for Owners to fund all of Sponsor’s Contribution Commitment, Sponsor shall not be required to fund any cash in respect of its Contribution Commitment; and

 

(ii)If Sponsor exercises its Election, (A) each Owner shall be required to fund 50% (or another percentage as mutually agreed to between Owners prior to the Closing, with such percentage herein referenced as the “Owner Percentage”) of the Election Amount in accordance with Section 1.01(b) immediately prior to the Closing, and such amount shall be deemed to be added to such Owner’s Contribution Commitment (required to be funded by such Owner pursuant to Section 1.01(a)) and (B) immediately prior to the Closing, Sponsor will transfer to each Owner a number of SPAC Common Stock equal to (x) Sponsor’s Contribution Commitment for which the Election has been made, divided by (y) $10.00, multiplied by (z) such Owner’s Owner Percentage (the “Transferred Shares”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Transferred Shares will be in addition to any Holdco ordinary shares or SPAC Common Stock that each Owner may receive pursuant to Section 1.01(c) with respect to the funding of such Owner’s Contribution Commitment (including such Owner’s Owner Percentage of the Election Amount). Each party will take all necessary and required steps and execute any reasonable requested documentation required to effect the issuance.

Section 4.09 Further Assurances

 

If at any time any of the Parties shall consider or be advised that any further documents or actions are necessary or desirable to fund the Contribution Commitment or to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise the rights, title or interest in or to the Transferred Shares or under or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties shall execute and deliver such further documents or take such actions and provide all assurances and to take and do all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in or to the Transferred Shares or under or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Section 4.10 Waiver of Claims Against Trust

 

(a)Reference is made to the final prospectus of SPAC, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). Each Owner Party warrants and represents that it has read the Prospectus and understands that SPAC has established a trust account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (“IPO”) and from certain private placements (collectively, with interest accrued from time to time thereon, the “Trust Fund”) for the benefit of SPAC’s public stockholders and certain parties (including the underwriters of the IPO) and that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Fund, SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Fund only under limited circumstances as set forth in the Prospectus.

 

(b)For and in consideration of SPAC’s and Sponsor’s execution of this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Owner Party hereby agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Fund or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against, the Trust Fund, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, any proposed or actual business relationship between SPAC or Sponsor, on one hand, and any Owner Party, on the other hand, this Agreement 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 “Claims”). Each Owner Party hereby irrevocably waives any Claims it may have against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with SPAC or Sponsor and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, for an alleged breach of this Agreement). Each Owner Party agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by SPAC and Sponsor to induce it to enter in this Agreement, and each Owner Party further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable under applicable law. This Section 5.10 (Waiver of Claims against Trust) shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.
