SECTION 4.18                    Insurance.

(a)               Section 4.18(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth, with respect to each material insurance policy under which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is an insured, a named insured or otherwise the principal beneficiary of coverage as of the date of this Agreement, (i) the names of the insurer, the principal insured and each named insured, (ii) the policy number, (iii) the period, scope and amount of coverage and (iv) the premium most recently charged. Such insurance policies provide coverage to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries

that, to the knowledge of the Company, are reasonable and appropriate considering the business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (including the Contracts to which they are bound).

(b)               With respect to each such insurance policy, except as would not or would not reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect, (i) such policy is legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to the Remedies Exceptions) and, except for policies that have expired under their terms in the Ordinary Course of Business, is in full force and effect; (ii) neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is in breach or default (including any such breach or default with respect to the payment of premiums or the giving of notice), and no event has occurred which, with notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default, or permit termination or modification, under such policy; (iii) to the knowledge of the Company, no insurer on such policy has been declared insolvent or placed in receivership, conservatorship or liquidation; (iv) no written or, to the knowledge of the Company, oral notice of cancellation, termination, non-renewal, disallowance or reduction in coverage has been received (or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened), nor has there been any lapse in coverage since the Reference Date; and (v) there are no claims by the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries pending under any such insurance policy as to which coverage has been denied or disputed by the underwriters of such policies (other than a customary reservation of rights notice that is not material).

The Requisite Approval (the “Company Stockholder Approval”) is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock or other securities of the Company necessary to adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger and the other Transactions. The Written Consent, if executed and delivered, would qualify as the Company Stockholder Approval and no additional approval or vote from any holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Company would then be necessary to adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger and the other Transactions.

Each of Parent and Merger Sub has heretofore furnished to the Company complete and correct copies of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, memorandum and articles of association or equivalent organizational documents, each certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands, as applicable, in each case, which are in full force and effect.

(a)               Parent has filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents, including any exhibits thereto, required to be filed by it with the SEC, together with any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto (collectively, the “Parent SEC Reports”). Parent has heretofore furnished to the Company true and correct copies of all amendments and modifications that have not been filed by Parent with the SEC to all agreements, documents and other instruments that previously had been filed by Parent with the SEC and are currently in effect. As of their respective dates, the Parent SEC Reports (i) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and (ii) did not, at the time they were filed, or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein

or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each director and executive officer of Parent has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all documents required with respect to Parent by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

(b)               Each of the financial statements (including, in each case, any notes thereto) contained in the Parent SEC Reports was prepared in accordance with GAAP (applied on a consistent basis) and Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, as applicable, throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited financial statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) and each fairly presents, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows of Parent as at the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated therein, (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end adjustments which would not reasonably be expected to individually or in the aggregate be material). Parent has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the Parent SEC Reports. No financial statements other than those of Parent are required by GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial statements of Parent.

(c)               Except as and to the extent set forth in the Parent SEC Reports, neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any material liability or obligation of a nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), except for liabilities and obligations arising in the ordinary course of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s business consistent with past practice or incurred in connection with the Transactions.

(d)               Parent is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of NYSE.

(e)               Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that material information relating to Parent and other material information required to be disclosed by Parent in the reports and other documents that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material information is accumulated and communicated to Parent’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

(f)                Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act and the listing standards of the NYSE). Parent’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure (i) the reliability of Parent’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in material conformity with GAAP and (ii) that material information relating to Parent is accumulated and communicated to Parent’s management as appropriate. Since Parent’s formation, there have been no significant deficiencies or material weakness in Parent’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and no change in Parent’s control over financial reporting

that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Parent’s internal control over financial reporting.

(g)               Neither Parent nor any employee or, to the knowledge of Parent, any independent auditor of Parent has identified or been made aware of (i) any significant deficiency or material weakness in the system of internal accounting controls utilized by Parent, (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves Parent’s management or other employees who have a role in the preparation of financial statements or the internal accounting controls utilized by Parent or (iii) any claim or allegation regarding any of the foregoing.

(h)               None of the Parent SEC Reports are the subject of ongoing SEC review or outstanding SEC comment. To the knowledge of Parent, none of the Parent SEC Reports filed on or prior to the date hereof is subject to ongoing SEC review or investigation as of the date hereof. To the knowledge of Parent, no notice of any SEC review or investigation of Parent or the Parent SEC Reports has been received by Parent.

SECTION 5.08                    Absence of Certain Changes or Events.

The Company hereby represents and warrants that it has read the Prospectus and understands that Parent has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the overallotment shares acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Parent’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by Parent’s underwriters the “Public Shareholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, Parent may disburse monies from the Trust Account only for the express purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company does not now nor 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 any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements between Parent or its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company or its Representatives, on the other hand, 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 “Released Claims”). The Company hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Company may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) with respect to any Released Claims (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with Parent or its Affiliates); provided, however, that the foregoing waiver will not limit or prohibit the Company from pursuing a claim against Parent, Merger Sub or any other person (a) for legal relief against monies or other assets of Parent (or any successor entity) or Merger Sub held outside of the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions or (b) for damages for breach of this Agreement against Parent (or any successor

entity) or Merger Sub, including claims against any funds distributed from the Trust Account to Parent or any successor entity thereof after the completion of Parent’s Business Combination (as defined in the Prospectus) (but such claim shall not be against the Trust Account or any funds distributed from the Trust Account to holders of Parent Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Parent Governing Document and the Trust Agreement).

The Parent Board shall unanimously recommend to Parent’s shareholders that they approve the Parent Proposals and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement; provided, that the Parent Board may make a withdrawal of such recommendation or an amendment, qualification or modification of such recommendation solely to the extent it has determined, upon the advice of counsel, that a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred, and that doing so is required in order to comply with its fiduciary duties. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.02(a), Parent shall have the right to (and in the case of the following clauses (ii) and (iii), at the request of the Company, Parent shall) make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Parent Holders’ Meeting, in each case, to the extent required (i) to ensure that any supplement or amendment is made to the Proxy Statement that Parent, after reasonable consultation with the Company, has determined in good faith is required to satisfy the conditions of Section 7.01 or any other applicable Law or (ii) if on a date for which the Parent Holders’ Meeting is scheduled, Parent has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Parent Ordinary Shares to obtain the Parent Holder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, (iii) if, as of the time for which the Parent Holders’ Meeting is scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient Parent Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Parent Holders’ Meeting or (iv) if, as of the deadline for electing redemption by holders of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Parent Governing Document, the number of shares being redeemed would cause the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.03(e) to not be satisfied; provided, that Parent shall reconvene such Parent Holders’ Meeting as promptly as practicable following such time as the matters described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) have been resolved, and in no event shall the Parent Holders’ Meeting be (x) postponed or adjourned for more than (A) ten Business Days for any individual postponement or adjournment or (B) except for any postponement or adjournment pursuant to clause (i), more than twenty Business Days in the aggregate or (y) reconvened on a date that is later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Outside Date.

Approval at the Parent Holders’ Meeting, including by soliciting from its shareholders proxies as promptly as possible in favor of the Parent Proposals, and shall take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the required vote or consent of its shareholders.

Upon the terms set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall (a) seek the irrevocable written consent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, of holders of the Requisite Approval (including the Requisite Stockholders) in favor of the approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions (the “Written Consent”) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective and (b) in the event the Company determines it is not able to obtain the Written Consent, the Company shall call and hold a meeting of holders of shares of Company Capital Stock for the purpose of voting solely upon the adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholders Meeting, including by soliciting from its stockholders proxies as promptly as possible in favor of this Agreement and the Merger, and shall take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company Board shall recommend to its stockholders that they approve this Agreement and the Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to pay any additional consideration to any stockholder of the Company in order to obtain the Written Consent.

SECTION 7.04                    Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a)               From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective subsidiaries to): (i) provide to the other party (and the other party’s officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, accountants, consultants, legal counsel, agents and other advisors or representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) reasonable access at reasonable times upon prior notice to the officers, employees, agents, properties, offices and other facilities of such party and its Subsidiaries and to the books and records thereof; and (ii) furnish promptly to the other party such information concerning the business, properties, contracts, assets, liabilities, personnel and other aspects of such party and its Subsidiaries as the other party or its Representatives may reasonably request, including in connection with any Tax disclosure in any statement, filing, notice or application relating to the Intended Tax Treatment or any Tax opinion requested or required to be filed pursuant to Section 7.11(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor Parent shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where the access or disclosure would jeopardize the protection of attorney-client privilege, violate contractual arrangements or contravene applicable Law (it being agreed that the parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy or contravention).

(b)               All information obtained by the parties hereto pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the non-disclosure agreement, dated as of June 7, 2021 (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”), between Parent and the Company.

Each party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any

person conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Transaction. Each party will promptly request each person (other than the parties hereto and their respective Representatives) that has prior to the date hereof been provided with Confidential Information in connection with its consideration of an Alternative Transaction to return or destroy all such Confidential Information furnished to such person by or on behalf of it. If a party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Representatives receives any inquiry or proposal with respect to an Alternative Transaction at any time prior to the Closing, then such party shall promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after such party becomes aware of such inquiry or proposal) notify such person in writing that such party is subject to an exclusivity agreement with respect to the Transaction that prohibits such party from considering such inquiry or proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.05 by a party or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 7.05 by such party.

SECTION 7.06                    Employee Benefits Matters.

(a)               Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts, as applicable, to provide the employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries who remain employed immediately after the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”) credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and determining the level of benefits, as applicable, under any Employee Benefit Plan established or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding any retiree health plans or programs or defined benefit retirement plans or programs) for service accrued or deemed accrued prior to the Effective Time with the Company or any Company Subsidiary; provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of any such benefit. In addition, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause to be waived any eligibility waiting periods, any evidence of insurability requirements and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations under each of the Employee Benefit Plans established or maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries that cover the Continuing Employees or their dependents, and (ii) cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, during the portion of the plan year in which the Closing occurs, under those health and welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employee currently participates to be taken into account under those health and welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employee participates subsequent to the Closing Date for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance, and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year. Following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation will honor all accrued but unused vacation, sick leave and other paid time off of the Continuing Employees that existed immediately prior to the Closing with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing occurs. As a condition to Parent’s obligations under this Section 7.06(a), the Company shall provide Parent or its designee with all information reasonably requested and necessary to allow Parent or its designee to comply with such obligations.

(b)               The Company shall cause all notices to be timely provided to each optionee under the Company Equity Incentive Plan as required by the Company Equity Incentive Plan.

(c)               The provisions of this Section 7.06 are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreement, and nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer upon any Continuing Employee or legal representative or beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any other person, any rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, whether as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or level of compensation or benefits. Nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, shall constitute an amendment or modification of any Employee Benefit Plan or other employee benefit arrangement or shall require the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries to continue any Plan or other employee benefit arrangements, or prevent their amendment, modification or termination.

(d)               As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, subject to approval of the Pre-Closing Parent Holders, Parent and Newco, as applicable, shall adopt and implement the New Incentive Plan and the New Stock Purchase Plan.

SECTION 7.07                    Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a)               The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall each contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement or expense reimbursement than are set forth in the Company Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Company as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee”), unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law. From and after the Effective Time, Parent agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted under applicable Law, the Company Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Company, each as in effect on the date of this Agreement, to indemnify such Indemnitee (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law).

(b)               From the Closing Date, and for a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage, except that in no event shall Parent be required to pay an annual premium for (or an increase in premium due to) such insurance in excess of 300% of the aggregate annual premium payable by the Company for such insurance policy for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Maximum Annual Premium”); provided, however, that if any claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 7.07(b) shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

(c)               Parent shall (i) cause coverage to be extended under its current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy by obtaining a six (6) year “tail” policy containing terms not materially less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and (ii) if any claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 7.07(c) shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

(b)               Each of the parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the Transactions, including promptly notifying the other parties hereto of any material substantive communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permitting the other parties hereto to review in advance, and to the extent practicable consult about, any proposed substantive communication by such party to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. No party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any substantive meeting, video or telephone conference, or other substantive communications with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it has given the other parties a reasonable opportunity to consult with it in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties hereto or their outside counsel the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting, conference or other communications.

Thereafter, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX) unless otherwise prohibited by applicable Law, each of Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior written consent of the other party,

except (a) communications consistent with the final form of joint press release announcing the Transactions and the investor presentation given to investors in connection with the announcement of the Transactions or (b) as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of the NYSE. Prior to the Closing, Parent and the Company shall mutually agree upon and prepare the press release announcing the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Closing Press Release”).

Nothing contained in this Section 7.10 shall prevent Parent or the Company or their respective Affiliates from furnishing customary or other reasonable information concerning the Transactions to their investors and prospective investors that is substantively consistent with public statements previously consented to by the other party in accordance with this Section 7.10.

SECTION 7.11                    Tax Matters.

(a)               For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each of the Domestication and the Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The parties to this Agreement hereby: (i) adopt this Agreement insofar as it relates to the Merger as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury regulations, (ii) adopt this Agreement insofar as it relates to the Domestication as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury regulations, (iii) agree to file and retain such information as shall be required under Section 1.368-3 of the United States Treasury regulations, and (iv) agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that each such party and each of the stockholders of the Company (x) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the Transactions, and (y) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Merger is determined not to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.

(b)               None of Newco, Parent, Merger Sub or the Company shall (and each shall cause its Affiliates not to) take any action (or fail to take any reasonable action) which action (or failure to act), whether before or after the Effective Time, would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Intended Tax Treatment.

(c)               Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing if, before the Closing Date, such party knows or has reason to believe that the Merger may not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment (and whether the terms of this Agreement could be reasonably amended in order to facilitate the Merger qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment). In the event that in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement the SEC requests or requires tax opinions, each party shall use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver

customary tax representation letters to Sidley Austin LLP and/or Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as relevant, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such advisor dated and executed as of the date the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC and such other date(s) as determined reasonably necessary by such advisor in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement. In the event the Company seeks a tax opinion from its tax advisor regarding the Intended Tax Treatment, the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver customary tax representation letters to its tax advisor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such advisor.

(d)               Newco will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Pre-Closing Parent Holders information that is reasonably required to (i) determine the amount that is required to be taken into income in connection with Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(b)-3 as a result of the Domestication; (ii) make the election contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(b)-3(c)(3); and (iii) make a timely and valid election as contemplated by Section 1295 of the Code (and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) with respect to Parent for each year that Parent is considered a passive foreign investment company (including through provision of the Annual Information Statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1295-1(g)).

(e)               For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the payment of any earnout Merger Consideration shall constitute purchase price consideration, and not compensation, to the holders of Company Capital Stock. The parties to this Agreement hereby agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

SECTION 7.12                    Stock Exchange Listing. During the period from the date hereof until the Closing, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Parent Units, Parent Class A Ordinary Shares and Parent Warrants listed for trading on the NYSE. Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that Newco is listed as a public company, and that the shares of Newco Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Transactions are approved for listing on the NYSE, in each case, as of the Closing.

SECTION 7.13                    Antitrust.

(a)               To the extent required under any Laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade, including the HSR Act (“Antitrust Laws”), each party hereto agrees to promptly make any required filing or application under Antitrust Laws, as applicable, and no later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, the Company and Parent each shall file (or cause to be filed) with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission a Notification and Report Form as required by the HSR Act. The parties hereto agree to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may reasonably be requested pursuant to Antitrust Laws and to use reasonable best efforts to take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods or obtain required approvals, as applicable under Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable, including by requesting early termination of the waiting period provided for under the HSR Act.

(b)               No party hereto shall take any action that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect or materially delay the approval of any Governmental Authority, or the expiration or termination of any waiting period of any required filings or applications under Antitrust Laws, including by agreeing to merge with or acquire any other person or acquire a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any other person. The parties hereto further covenant and agree, with respect to a threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling or statute, rule, regulation or executive order that would adversely affect the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the Transactions, to use reasonable best efforts to prevent or lift the entry, enactment or promulgation thereof, as the case may be.

As of the Effective Time, the obligations of Parent to dissolve or liquidate within a specified time period as contained in the Parent Governing Document will be terminated and Parent shall have no obligation whatsoever to dissolve and liquidate the assets of Parent by reason of the consummation of the Merger or otherwise, and no equityholder of Parent shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account.

SECTION 7.15                    Financing. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements on the terms and

conditions described therein, including using its reasonable best efforts to (a) comply with its obligations under the Subscription Agreements, (b) maintain in effect the Subscription Agreements in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, (c) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to Parent set forth in the applicable Subscription Agreements, (d) enforce its rights under the Subscription Agreements to cause the PIPE Investors to pay to (or as directed by) Parent the applicable purchase price under each PIPE Investor’s applicable Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms and (e) consummate the PIPE Financing when required pursuant to this Agreement. Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice of (i) any request or proposal for an amendment to any Subscription Agreement (other than as a result of any assignments or transfers contemplated therein or otherwise permitted thereby); (ii) of any material breach or material default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Subscription Agreement known to Parent; (iii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to any Subscription Agreement with respect to any actual, potential or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Subscription Agreement or any provisions of any Subscription Agreement; and (iv) of any underfunding of any amount under any Subscription Agreement.

SECTION 7.16                    Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Prior to the Closing, the Parent Board, or an appropriate committee thereof, shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretive guidance of the SEC relating to Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act, such that the acquisitions of Newco Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement by any officer or director of the Company who is expected to become a “covered person” of Parent for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act (“Section 16”) shall be exempt acquisitions for purposes of Section 16.

SECTION 7.17                    Qualification as an Emerging Growth Company. Parent shall, at all times during the period from the date hereof until the occurrence of the Closing: (a) take all actions necessary to continue to qualify as an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012; and (b) not take any action that would cause Parent to not qualify as an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of such Act.

(a)               by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b)               by either Parent or the Company if the Effective Time shall not have occurred prior to July 31, 2022 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that this Agreement may not be terminated under this Section 9.01(b) by or on behalf of any party that is in breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained herein and such breach or violation is the principal cause of the failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII on or prior to the Outside Date;

(c)               by either Parent or the Company if any Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which has become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger, illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger;

(d)               by either Parent or the Company if any of the Parent Proposals shall fail to receive the requisite vote for approval at the Parent Holders’ Meeting (subject to any permitted or required adjournment or postponement of the Parent Holders’ Meeting);

(e)               by Parent upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Sections 8.02(a) and 8.02(b) would not be satisfied at the Closing (“Terminating Company Breach”); provided that Parent and Merger Sub are not then in breach of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement, which breach would cause any condition in Section 8.03(a) or Section 8.03(b) not to be satisfied; provided, however, that, if such Terminating Company Breach is curable by the Company, Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(e) for so long as the Company continues to exercise its reasonable efforts to cure such breach, unless such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date Parent provides written notice of such breach and the Outside Date) after notice of such breach is provided by Parent to the Company; or

(f)                by the Company upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Parent and Merger Sub shall have become untrue, in either case, such that the conditions set forth in Sections 8.03(a) and 8.03(b) would not be satisfied at the Closing (“Terminating Parent Breach”); provided that the Company is not then in breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement, which breach would cause

any condition in Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.02(b) not to be satisfied; provided, however, that, if such Terminating Parent Breach is curable by Parent and Merger Sub, the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(f) for so long as Parent and Merger Sub continue to exercise their reasonable efforts to cure such breach, unless such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date Company provides written notice of such breach and the Outside Date) after notice of such breach is provided by the Company to Parent.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this ‎Section 9.01 (other than Section 9.01(a)) shall give written notice of such termination to each other party.

Sections 6.03, Article X (other than Sections 10.02 and 10.14) and the Non-Disclosure Agreement, and any corresponding definitions referenced therein, shall, in each case, survive any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03                    Amendment. This Agreement may be amended in writing by the parties hereto at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided that, after the Parent Holder Approval has been obtained, there shall be no amendment or modification that would require the further approval of the Pre-Closing Parent Holders under applicable Law without such approval having first been obtained.

SECTION 10.02                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 all such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements 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 after the Closing and then only to such extent until such covenants and agreements have been fully performed and (b) this Article X and any corresponding definitions set forth in Article I.

SECTION 10.03                Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 10.04                Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede, except as set forth in Section 7.04(b), all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Non-Disclosure Agreement. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise) by any party without the prior express written consent of the other parties hereto.

SECTION 10.05                Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than (a) in the event the Closing occurs, Section 7.07 (which is intended to be for the benefit of the persons covered thereby and may be enforced by such persons), (b) from and after the Effective Time, the holders of Company Securities as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (and their successors, heirs and Representatives) shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Article III, Article IV, and this Section 10.05 and (c) the past, present and future directors, managers, officers, employees, incorporators, members, partners, equityholders, Affiliates, agents, attorneys, advisors and Representatives of the parties hereto and any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (and their

successors, heirs and Representatives), are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, this Section 10.05 and Section 10.11.

SECTION 10.06                Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. All legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court; provided, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal Action may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court. The parties hereto hereby (a) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b) agree not to commence any Action relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than Actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. Each of the parties hereto further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties hereto further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Action is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

SECTION 10.07                Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions. Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that no Representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the Transactions, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.07.

SECTION 10.08                Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.09                Counterparts; Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to the Transactions shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures

(including DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable Law, including any state Law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

SECTION 10.10                Disclosure Schedules. Each of the Company and Parent has set forth information in the Company Disclosure Schedules and the Parent Disclosure Schedules, respectively, in sections thereof that correspond to the sections of this Agreement to which it relates. A matter set forth in one section of a disclosure schedule need not be set forth in any other section so long as its relevance to such other section of the disclosure schedule or section of the Agreement is reasonably apparent. Any item of information, matter or document disclosed or referenced in, or attached to, the Company Disclosure Schedules or the Parent Disclosure Schedules shall not (a) be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material,” “Company Material Adverse Effect,” “Parent Material Adverse Effect,” “material adverse effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement or to establish a standard of materiality, (b) represent a determination that such item or matter did not arise in the ordinary course of business, (c) constitute, or be deemed to constitute, an admission of liability or obligation regarding such matter (other than with respect to any Section of the Company Disclosure Schedules or Parent Disclosure Schedules, as applicable, referred to in any representation or warranty in this Agreement that expressly requires listing facts, circumstances or agreements in such section of the Company Disclosure Schedules or Parent Disclosure Schedules, as applicable), or (d) notwithstanding the foregoing in subclause (c), constitute, or be deemed to constitute, an admission to any third party in any respect concerning such item or matter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, the Company shall have the right in it sole discretion to amend Section 4.17 of the Company Disclosure Schedules to add any new Material Contracts entered into during such time, and any and all details with respect thereto that are responsive to the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.17, and such amendments shall have full force and effect with respect to the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 8.02(a).

SECTION 10.11                Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the parties’ obligation to consummate the Merger) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

SECTION 10.12                No Recourse. All actions, claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of actions (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute whether by or

through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to: (a) this Agreement, (b) the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), (c) any breach of this Agreement and (d) any failure of the Merger to be consummated, may be made only against, and are those solely of the persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement and not against any Nonparty Affiliate (as defined below). No other person, including any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, optionholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or Representative of, or any financial advisor or lender to, any party to this Agreement, or any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or Representative of, or any financial advisor or lender to (each of the foregoing, a “Nonparty Affiliate”) any of the foregoing shall have any liabilities (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil) for any claims, causes of action, obligations or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with or related in any manner to the items in the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (d).

SECTION 10.13                Expenses. Except as set forth in this Section 10.13 or elsewhere in this Agreement (including Section 3.04), all expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Merger or any other Transaction is consummated, except that the Company and Parent shall each pay one-half of all expenses relating to the fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with (a) obtaining customary D&O tail policies, (b) filings under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws or in connection with any other regulatory approvals, (c) the preparation, filing and mailing of the Proxy Statement, and (d) arranging the PIPE Financing; provided, that if the Merger is consummated, all such expenses, and any Transfer Taxes arising as a result of the Merger, will be paid (or reimbursed, as applicable) from the proceeds of the Trust Account and the PIPE Financing.

SECTION 10.14                Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP (“Davis Polk”) has acted as legal counsel to Parent, Merger Sub, Sponsor, certain Parent security holders and certain of their respective Affiliates prior to the Closing, and that Davis Polk may act as legal counsel to Parent, the Surviving Corporation and one or more of its subsidiaries, Sponsor, certain Parent security holders and certain of their respective Affiliates after the Closing, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation (including on behalf of the Surviving Corporation’s subsidiaries) hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Davis Polk’s representing Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, or any of its subsidiaries, Sponsor, any Parent, security holder and any of their respective Affiliates after to the Closing. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences by or among Parent, Merger Sub, Sponsor, Parent security holders or their respective Affiliates in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Transactions will be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Sponsor, such Parent security holder or such Affiliate (and not to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries). Accordingly, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, will not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Davis Polk relating to such engagement, whether or not the Closing will have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) Sponsor or the applicable Parent security holder and its Affiliates

(and not Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) will be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries will be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Davis Polk in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Sponsor, the applicable Parent security holder or their respective Affiliates (and not Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries) will hold such property rights and (iii) Davis Polk will have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to Parent after the Closing and before or after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Davis Polk and Parent and Merger Sub before the Closing and after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and any of its subsidiaries or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Closing, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (including on behalf of its subsidiaries) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Davis Polk to such third party; provided, however, that neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation, nor any of its subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Sponsor.

Annex I

Earnout Merger Consideration

$12.50 Earnout Shares and $15.00 Earnout Shares

This Annex I sets forth the terms for the vesting and forfeiture of the $12.50 Earnout Shares and $15.00 Earnout Shares (each as defined below), as applicable. Terms used but not defined in this Annex I shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the other parts of this Agreement to which this Annex I is a part.

1.                  7,000,000 of the Earnout Shares (such number of shares being referred to as the “$12.50 Earnout Shares”) will automatically vest if the Stock Price equals or exceeds $12.50 per share on any twenty (20) Trading Days (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any consecutive thirty (30) Trading Day period that occurs after the Closing Date and on or prior to the ten (10) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the first occurrence of the foregoing is referred to herein as the “$12.50 Share Price Milestone” and the ten (10) year period following the Closing Date is referred to herein as the “Earnout Period”).

2.                  7,000,000 of the Earnout Shares (such number of shares being referred to as the “$15.00 Earnout Shares”), and if not previously vested, all of the $12.50 Earnout Shares, will automatically vest if the Stock Price equals or exceeds $15.00 per share on any twenty (20) Trading Days (which may be consecutive or not consecutive) within any consecutive thirty (30) Trading Day period that occurs after the Closing Date and on or prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period (the first occurrence of the foregoing is referred to herein as the “$15.00 Share Price Milestone” and, each of the $15.00 Share Price Milestone and the $12.50 Share Price Milestone, a “Milestone”).

3.                  Subject to the limitations contemplated herein, each holder of Company Securities as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Earnout Shares, including the right to receive dividends and to vote such shares; provided, that, subject to the vesting provisions of this Annex I, the Earnout Shares shall not entitle the holder thereof to consideration in connection with any sale or other transaction, other than in connection with a Change of Control as set forth below, and may not be Transferred by such holder or be subject to execution, attachment or similar process without the consent of Newco, and shall bear a customary legend with respect to such transfer restrictions; provided, further, that Transfers are permitted to Permitted Transferees who shall (a) be subject to the restrictions in this paragraph 3 as if they were the original holders of such Earnout Shares and (b) promptly transfer such Earnout Shares back to the original holder thereof if they cease to be a Permitted Transferee for any reason prior to the date such Earnout Shares become freely transferable in accordance herewith; provided, further, that any such Permitted Transferee executes and delivers to Newco a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Newco, agreeing to be bound by the restrictions in this paragraph 3. Any attempt to Transfer such Earnout Shares shall be null and void.

4.                  If, at any time prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period, any holder of Earnout Shares forfeits all or any portion of such holder’s Converted Options or Converted RSU Awards, in accordance with the terms of such Converted Options or Converted RSU Awards, all unvested

Earnout Shares issued to such holder with respect to any such Converted Options or Converted RSU Awards shall be deemed to be automatically forfeited to Newco and Newco shall then distribute such Earnout Shares to the other holder of Company Securities as of immediately prior to the Effective Time on a pro rata basis based upon the allocation of Earnout Shares as of the Closing Date (but disregarding any Earnout Shares forfeited by other holders of Earnout Shares with respect to any Converted Options or Converted RSU Awards in accordance herewith).

5.                  If, upon the expiration of the Earnout Period, the $12.50 Share Price Milestone and/or the $15.00 Share Price Milestone have not occurred, then all Earnout Shares which would vest in connection with such Milestone shall be automatically forfeited and deemed transferred to Newco and shall be automatically cancelled by Newco and cease to exist. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to such forfeiture, all Earnout Shares shall be entitled to any dividends or distributions made to the holders of Newco Common Stock and shall be entitled to the voting rights generally granted to holders of Newco Common Stock.

6.                  In the event of occurrence of any Milestone, as soon as practicable (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), Newco shall deliver written notice to the holders of the Earnout Shares as of any such date regarding the vesting of the applicable Earnout Shares.

7.                  In the event that after the Closing and prior to the expiration of the Earnout Period, (i) there is a Change of Control (or a definitive agreement providing for a Change of Control has been entered into prior to expiration of the Earnout Period and such Change of Control is ultimately consummated, even if such consummation occurs after the expiration of the Earnout Period), (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Newco (whether voluntary of involuntary) is initiated, (iii) any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or similar proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or any dissolution or liquidation proceeding, is instituted by or against Newco, or a receiver is appointed for Newco or a substantial part of its assets or properties or (iv) Newco makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or petitions or applies to any Governmental Authority for, or consents or acquiesces to, the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or substantially all of its assets or properties, then any Milestone that has not previously occurred and the related vesting conditions shall be deemed to have occurred.

8.                  For purposes hereof:

(i)                 a “Change of Control” means the occurrence in a single transaction or as a result of a series of related transactions, of one or more of the following events:

(ii)              “Permitted Transferee” means (A) in the case of an individual, (1) by gift to any person related to the applicable holder by blood, marriage, or domestic relationship (“immediate family”), a charitable organization or a trust or other entity formed for estate planning purposes for the benefit of an immediate family member, (2) by will, intestacy or by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon the death of such individual, or (3) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, or (B) in the case of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other entity, to any stockholder, member, partner or trust beneficiary as part of a distribution, or to any corporation, partnership or other entity that is an affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the applicable holder.

(iii)            “Stock Price” means, on any date after the Closing, the volume weighted average price of the shares of Newco Class A Common Stock reported as of such date by Bloomberg, or if not available on Bloomberg, as reported by Morningstar;

(iv)             “Trading Day” means any day on which trading is generally conducted on the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange on which the shares of Newco Class A Common Stock are traded and published; and

(v)               “Transfer” means the (A) sale or assignment of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, gift, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to, any security, (B) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part,

any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (C) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (A) or (B).

9.                  If Newco shall, at any time or from time to time, after the date hereof effect a subdivision, share or stock split, share or stock dividend, reorganization, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction affecting the outstanding shares of Parent Ordinary Shares or Newco Common Stock, as applicable, the number of Earnout Shares subject to vesting pursuant to, and the stock price targets set forth in, paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Annex I, shall be equitably adjusted for such subdivision, share or stock split, share or stock dividend, reorganization, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
