New Sponsor understands and agrees that the Transferred Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state of the U.S. and that the sale of the Transferred Interests will be effected in reliance upon one or more exemptions from registration afforded under the Securities Act. New Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that the Transferred Interests may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by New Sponsor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to SPAC or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (including without limitation a private resale pursuant to so called “Section 4(a)1½”), or (iii) in an ordinary course pledge such as a broker lien over account property generally, and, in each of clauses (i)-(iii), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates or account entries representing the Transferred Interests will contain a restrictive legend to such effect. New Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that the Transferred Interests will be subject to these securities law transfer restrictions, and as a result of these transfer restrictions, New Sponsor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Transferred Interests and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Transferred Interests for an indefinite period of time. New Sponsor acknowledges that the Transferred Interests will not be immediately eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act until at least one year following the filing of certain required information with the SEC after the closing of a Business Combination. New Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Transferred Interests.

 

(ii) Status. New Sponsor is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act. New Sponsor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and in investments of this type that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Transferred Interests and of making an informed investment decision, and has conducted a review of the business and affairs of SPAC that it considers sufficient and reasonable for purposes of purchasing the Transferred Interests. New Sponsor understands that the Transferred Interests will be sold to New Sponsor in reliance upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of New Sponsor set forth in this Agreement, in order that Sponsor may determine the applicability and availability of the exemptions from registration on which Sponsor is relying.

(iii) Purchase for Own Account. New Sponsor is purchasing the Transferred Interests for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof. New Sponsor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Transferred Interests. New Sponsor does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Transferred Interests.

 

(d) New Sponsor Review. New Sponsor has reviewed the SPAC SEC Documents, including the exhibits thereto. New Sponsor is not relying on any other information concerning SPAC or the Transferred Interests in connection with acceptance of the Transferred Interests, other than as set forth herein.

 

(e) Finders’ and Advisory Fees. There is no investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of New Sponsor who would be entitled to any fee or commission from SPAC in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement for which Sponsor would be liable.

 

13. Release. Each Old Sponsor Member hereby releases SPAC and each of its officers, directors and shareholders, as well as the Sponsor Member and New Sponsor, from any claims that they may have now or in the future, whether contractual, statutory or otherwise, against any of SPAC, its officers, directors or shareholders relating to (i) the formation of SPAC, (ii) the operation of SPAC (including agreements between the Old Sponsor Members and SPAC) up to the Closing, (iii) the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, and (iv) the dismissal of Old Sponsor Members or any of their officers, directors or employees as an officer, director or employee of SPAC, as applicable. The SPAC hereby irrevocably releases each of its officers, managers and members who have tendered a resignation pursuant to Section 7(a) and Section 7(b) of this Agreement, from any claims that the SPAC may have now or in the future, whether contractual, statutory or otherwise, to the extent relating to or arising from (i) the operation of SPAC following the Closing and (ii) the negotiation and execution of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver or release of (x) any claim for indemnification that the Old Sponsor Members may have against SPAC regardless of whether such claim arises after the Closing, (y) any rights under this Agreement or any of the agreements executed and delivered hereunder, or (z) any claim for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

14. Indemnification and Exculpation; Insurance.

 

(a) All rights to exculpation or indemnification for acts or omissions occurring through the date hereof now existing in favor of any of the officers and directors of SPAC prior to the consummation of the Transaction as provided in the Articles will survive the execution of this Agreement and the Closing and will continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and will not be amended by SPAC to eliminate or reduce such rights except to the extent required by law.

 

(b) At no cost to the Sponsor or the Old Sponsor Members, the SPAC (i) shall retain, renew or otherwise extend its current directors’ and officers’ liabilities insurance policy, or put in place a new directors’ and officers’ liabilities insurance policy, on terms substantially similar to SPAC’s existing directors’ and officers’ liabilities insurance policy through the closing of a Business Combination and (ii) shall, as of the closing of the Business Combination, obtain a “tail” insurance policy, extending coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the closing of the Business Combination covering (as direct beneficiaries) those persons who are as of the date of this Agreement currently covered by the SPAC’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, with coverages for each of (i) and (ii) above of the type and with the amount of coverage on terms substantially similar to SPAC’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the New Sponsor is acquiring control of the SPAC as-is and is aware of the potential risks associated with the current and future financial and operational status of the SPAC, including but not limited to the risk of imminent liquidation. The Sponsor Member and Non-Managing Members acknowledge and agree that (i) all potential liabilities, whether known or unknown, or incurred by the SPAC and/or the Sponsor prior to the Effective Date, shall be the responsibility of the Sponsor Member and Non-Managing Members; (ii) the Sponsor Member and Non-Managing Members will indemnify and hold harmless New Sponsor for all such liabilities incurred prior to the effective date; and (iii) the New Sponsor shall not be held liable or responsible for any actions, decisions, or events leading to or resulting in the liquidation or dissolution of the SPAC following the consummation of this Agreement, except to the extent such actions, decisions, or events arise directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the New Sponsor. The New Sponsor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover under any applicable insurance coverage or any other available legal remedy, and only thereafter seek indemnification from the Sponsor Member and the Non-Managing Members for any such foregoing liabilities incurred under this Section 14; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the New Sponsor to commence or pursue litigation against any insurer or otherwise impair, limit, or waive any right to indemnification hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Sponsor or New Sponsor receives any waiver or assumptions of liabilities pursuant to a business combination agreement, the Sponsor Member and the Non-Managing Members shall be entitled to the same. SPAC and New Sponsor acknowledge and agree that (i) all potential liabilities, whether known or unknown, to be incurred by the SPAC and/or the New Sponsor after the Effective Date shall be the responsibility of SPAC and New Sponsor, respectively; (ii) SPAC and New Sponsor will indemnify and hold harmless Old Sponsor Members and Sponsor for all such liabilities incurred after the Effective Date; and (iii) neither the Old Sponsor Members nor Sponsor shall be held liable or responsible for any actions, decisions, or events following the consummation of this Agreement, except to the extent such actions, decisions, or events arise directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Sponsor and Old Sponsor Member, respectively. Sponsor expressly waives any claims against the New Sponsor related to the SPAC’s failure to complete a Business Combination, the expiration of the SPAC’s permitted lifespan, or any regulatory or compliance matters associated with the SPAC prior to or after the Closing.

 

15. Further Assurances. Each Party agrees that it will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, on or after the date of this Agreement, all such other documents and instruments as are reasonably required for the performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder and will take all commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary to consummate the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to effectuate the provisions and purposes hereof. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, the Sponsor shall cooperate with SPAC and New Sponsor with respect to all filings that SPAC or New Sponsor elect to make or are required by law to make in connection with the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

16. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time prior to the Closing: (a) by written consent the Sponsor and New Sponsor, (b) if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to February 6, 2026, (c) by written notice to the Sponsor, Old Sponsor Members and SPAC from New Sponsor if there is any breach of representation, warranty, or covenant of Sponsor and/or SPAC such that the conditions specified in Section 9 of this Agreement would not be satisfied at the Closing or (d) by written notice to New Sponsor from the Sponsor and the Old Sponsor Members if there is any breach of representation, warranty, or covenant of New Sponsor such that the conditions specified in Section 9 of this Agreement would not be satisfied at the Closing. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force or effect without liability of any Party (or any shareholder, director, officer, employee, affiliate, agent, consultant or representative of such Party) to the other Parties hereto; provided that, if such termination shall result from the willful and material breach by a Party of its covenants and agreements hereunder or common law fraud or willful and material breach in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such Party shall not be relieved of liability to the other Parties for any such willful and material breach or common law fraud occurring prior to such termination. The provisions of Sections 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17 will survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such provision(s) had never been contained herein, provided that such provision(s) shall be curtailed, limited or eliminated only to the extent necessary to remove the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in the jurisdiction where such provisions have been held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable.

(e) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules.

(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (delivered by email or other means of electronic transmission), each of which shall be deemed an original and which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same document.
