The Sponsor hereby agrees that it shall not commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing. In furtherance of, and without limiting the generality of, the foregoing, the Sponsor hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to redeem any SPAC Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

Article II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor. The Sponsor represents and warrants as of the date hereof to SPAC and the Company as follows:

(a) Organization; Due Authorization. The Sponsor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, formed, organized or constituted, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within the Sponsor’s limited liability company powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational actions on the part of the Sponsor. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Sponsor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other Parties, this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of the Sponsor, enforceable against the Sponsor in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy laws, other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies).

(b) Ownership. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor is the sole holder of record and beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of, and has good title to, and sole voting power with respect to, the number of Subject Securities listed in Schedule I hereto (such SPAC Shares and such SPAC Public Warrants, collectively, the Sponsor’s “Owned Securities”), and there exists no Liens or any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such SPAC Class Shares or SPAC Public Warrants), other than pursuant to (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Insider Letter Agreement, (iii) the Organizational Documents of SPAC, (iv) the Merger Agreement or (v) applicable securities laws. The Sponsor’s Owned Securities are the only equity securities in SPAC owned of record or beneficially by the Sponsor as of the date of this Agreement, and none of the Sponsor’s Subject Securities are subject to any proxy, voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of such Subject Securities.

(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Sponsor does not, and the performance by the Sponsor of its obligations hereunder will not, (i) conflict with or result in a violation of the Organizational Documents of the Sponsor or (ii) require any consent, waiver, filing, notification, registration or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any Contract binding upon the Sponsor or the Subject Securities).

(d) Litigation. There is no Legal Proceeding pending against the Sponsor before any arbitrator or any Governmental Entity, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by the Sponsor of its obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Brokerage Fees. Except as disclosed in Section 5.22 of the Merger Agreement, no financial advisor, investment banker, broker or finder is entitled to any fee or commission in connection with the Merger Agreement or the Closing, in each case, based upon any agreement or arrangement made by, or, to the knowledge of the Sponsor, on behalf of, the Sponsor for which SPAC, EUR, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries would have any obligation.

(f) Affiliate Arrangements. Except as disclosed in the prospectus, dated November 3, 2021, filed in connection with SPAC’s initial public offering or any subsequent SEC filings, neither the Sponsor nor any of its Affiliates is party to, or has any rights with respect to or arising from, any material Contract with SPAC or any of its Subsidiaries.

(g) Acknowledgment. The Sponsor understands and acknowledges that each of SPAC and the Company is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Sponsor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

Article III
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 3.1 Termination. This Agreement and all of its provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (a) the Expiration Time and (b) the execution and delivery of a written agreement providing for the termination of this Agreement executed by the Sponsor, SPAC and the Company. Upon such termination of this Agreement, all obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, without any liability or other obligation on the part of any Party to any Person in respect hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Party shall have any claim against another (and no person shall have any rights against such Party), whether under contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve or release a Party from any obligations or liabilities arising out of such Party’s willful breach of this Agreement prior to such termination or intentional fraud in the making of the representations and warranties in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article III shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.2 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned (including by operation of law) without the prior written consent of the Parties. Any purported assignment or delegation not permitted under this Section 3.2 shall be null and void.

Section 3.3 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) may not be an adequate remedy, may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Chancery Court or any other state or federal court within the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at law or in equity. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that (a) there is adequate remedy at law or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any Party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 3.4 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, changed, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified or terminated, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement providing therefor executed by the Sponsor, SPAC and the Company.

Section 3.5 Waiver. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available to the Parties. No waiver of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall be valid unless it is set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by the Party to be charged with such waiver.

Section 3.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any Person, other than the Parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns, any right or remedy under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 3.7 Notices.
