WHEREAS, PubCo, XPAC, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, and the Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement on April 25, 2022, as amended by the Parties on December 2, 2022, and as subsequently amended by the Parties on February 9, 2023 (as so amended, the "Business Combination Agreement");

WHEREAS, pursuant to the First Amendment Agreement, dated as of December 2, 2022, to the Business Combination Agreement, the Parties amended the Business Combination Agreement to extend the Outside Date to January 31, 2023 (and if such date is not a Business Day, then the next following Business Day);

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Second Amendment Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2023, to the Business Combination Agreement, the Parties amended the Business Combination Agreement to extend the Outside Date to February 28, 2023 (and if such date is not a Business Day, then the next following Business Day);

2

 

As used in this Termination Agreement, the "Representatives" of a Party shall mean such Party's affiliates and present and former, direct and indirect equity holders, investors, partners, joint venturers, lenders, administrators, representatives, shareholders, members, parent entities and/or individuals, subsidiaries, officers, directors, attorneys, legal counsel, principals, advisors, consultants, agents, employees, managers, legatees, devisees, executors, trustees, beneficiaries, insurers, predecessors, successors, heirs and assigns.

 

Section 3.2            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Business Combination Agreement or any other Transaction Document, each of the Company, PubCo, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and Newco for itself, and on behalf of its Representatives, hereby unconditionally, irrevocably, absolutely, forever and fully acquits, releases and discharges XPAC and its Representatives from all claims, contentions, rights, debts, interest, liabilities, demands, allegations, assertions, complaints, controversies, accounts, reckonings, obligations, duties, charges, grievances, promises, commitments, guarantees, endorsements, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs incurred), liens, indemnification rights, damages, punitive damages, losses, suits, liabilities, actions and causes of action, of any kind whatsoever, whether due or owing in the past, present or future, whether based upon breach of contract, fraud, willful breach, tort, statute or any other legal or equitable theory of recovery, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, disclosed or undisclosed, suspected or unsuspected, asserted or unasserted, fixed or contingent, express or implied, matured or unmatured, accrued or unaccrued, and whether vicarious, derivative, joint, several or secondary, with respect to, pertaining to, based on, arising under or out of, resulting from or relating to the Business Combination Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including but not limited to the negotiation, execution, performance or non-performance of the Business Combination Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (the "Company Released Claims", and together with the XPAC Released Claims, the "Released Claims").

In furtherance of such intention, the respective releases given by the Parties pursuant to this Termination Agreement shall be and remain in effect as full and complete releases with regard to their respective Released Claims notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different claim or fact.
