(b) With respect to any and all Actions arising directly or indirectly out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, each of the Parties: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally submits and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of: (A) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such Court of Chancery lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Complex Commercial Division of the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or (B) in the event that an Action involves claims exclusively within the jurisdiction of the federal courts, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (all such courts, collectively, the “Chosen Courts”), for itself and with respect to its property; (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such Action shall be heard and determined only in any Chosen Court (and the appropriate respective appellate courts therefrom); (iii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any Chosen Court; (iv) agrees that, except in connection with any Action brought against a party in another jurisdiction by an independent third person, it shall not bring any Action directly or indirectly relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions contemplated hereby in any forum other than a Chosen Court, except for the purpose of enforcing any award or judgment; and (v) agrees that it shall not assert and waives any objection it may have based on inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Action so brought.

The exchange of copies of this Agreement, including executed signature pages, by electronic transmission (including .pdf, scanned copies or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) will constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement for all purposes and the Parties agree that it shall have the same force of evidence as an inked original and that electronic signature shall bind the Parties as if they had proceeded with handwritten signatures.

10.08 Schedules and Exhibits. The Company Disclosure Schedule, the SPAC Disclosure Schedule and the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto and thereto are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. Each capitalized term used in any Exhibit, Schedule, the Company Disclosure Schedule or SPAC Disclosure Schedules, but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement. The Company Disclosure Schedule and the SPAC Disclosure Schedule have been arranged in numbered and lettered sections and subsections corresponding to the applicable numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement. Each item disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule and the SPAC Disclosure Schedule shall constitute an exception to, or as applicable, disclosure for the purposes of, the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) to which it makes reference and shall also be deemed to be constructively disclosed or set forth in any other section in such Company Disclosure Schedule or SPAC Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, relating to other sections of this Agreement to the extent a cross-reference is expressly made to such other section in such Company Disclosure Schedule or SPAC Disclosure Schedules, as applicable, or to the extent that the relevance of such item as an exception to, or as applicable, disclosure for the purposes of, another section of this Agreement is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such disclosure also qualifies or applies to, or is disclosed for the purposes of, such other section of this Agreement. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in any Company Disclosure Schedule or SPAC Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed hereby.

dollar thresholds set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material,” “Company Material Adverse Effect” or “SPAC Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement. The inclusion of any item in the Company Disclosure Schedule or the SPAC Disclosure Schedule shall not constitute an admission by the Company or the SPAC Parties, as applicable, that such item is or is not material. No disclosure in any Company Disclosure Schedule or SPAC Disclosure Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation of any contract, Law or Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. The Company Disclosure Schedule and SPAC Disclosure Schedule and the information contained therein are intended only to qualify or provide disclosure for the purposes of the applicable representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement and shall not be deemed to expand in any way the scope or effect of any such representations, warranties or covenants.

10.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Transaction Documents) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties relating to the Transactions contemplated hereby and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the Parties hereto or any of their respective Affiliates relating to the Transactions contemplated hereby.

10.10 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing by the Parties executed in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement. The approval of this Agreement by the members or stockholders of any of the Parties shall not restrict the ability of the board of directors, the executive committee, the manager, or other such body performing similar functions of any of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01 or to cause such Party to enter into an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.10.

10.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.

10.12 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO (A) ANY ACTION, BASED UPON OR ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE.

- 68 -

10.13 Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

10.14 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party.

10.15 Non-survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Except (x) as otherwise contemplated by Section 9.02, or (y) in the case of claim against a Person in respect of such Person’s actual fraud as defined under Delaware common law, 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 shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Effective Time (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 with respect to any breaches occurring after the Closing and (b) this Article X.
