19. Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of Pathfinder, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-252498) on February 16, 2021 (the Prospectus). The Shareholders and the Company each acknowledges and agrees and understands that Pathfinder has established a trust account (the Trust Account) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with such initial public offering (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the public shareholders of Pathfinders Class A ordinary shares (the Pathfinder Shareholders), and Pathfinder may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of Pathfinder entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Shareholders and the Company each hereby agrees that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Shareholders nor the Company does now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between Pathfinder or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the Shareholders or the Company, on the other hand, 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 Trust Account Released Claims). Each of the Shareholders and the Company hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, or contracts with Pathfinder or its representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with Pathfinder or its Affiliates).
