(b) For the avoidance of doubt, all PAQC Ordinary Shares held by PAQC Dissenting Shareholders who shall have failed to exercise or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their dissenter rights under Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act shall thereupon (i) not be deemed to be PAQC Dissenting Shares, and (ii) be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for, at the First Merger Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable Company Exchange Shares under Section 3.06(a)(i) in the manner provided in Section 4.04.

(b) With respect to any holder of PAQC Ordinary Shares (other than PAQC Dissenting Shareholders) or PAQC Warrants, PAQC and the Company shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to such holder (i) the Company Exchange Shares or (ii) the Company Exchange Warrants, as applicable, to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.06(a), at the First Merger Effective Time, and in exchange any outstanding PAQC Ordinary Shares or PAQC Warrants shall be cancelled as a result of the First Merger, without any further action by any party. If the Exchange Agent requires that, as a condition to receiving the Company Exchange Shares or Company Exchange Warrants, any holder of PAQC Ordinary Shares or PAQC Warrants deliver a letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent, then at or as promptly as practicable following the First Merger Effective Time, the Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to send to each holder of PAQC Ordinary Shares and each holder of PAQC Warrants a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and the risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper transfer of (i) each Company Exchange Share or (ii) the relevant Company Exchange Warrant, as applicable, to the Exchange Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as PAQC and the Company may reasonably specify) for use in such exchange, and no holder of PAQC Ordinary Shares or PAQC Warrants shall be entitled to receive the Company Exchange Shares or the Company Exchange Warrants, as applicable, unless such holder has delivered a completed and duly executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent.

(c) From and after the First Merger Effective Time, any certificate(s) representing PAQC Ordinary Shares (other than PAQC Dissenting Shares) or PAQC Warrants shall be deemed to evidence such holder’s right to receive its respective portion of the Company Exchange Shares or Company Exchange Warrants, as applicable, into which such PAQC Ordinary Shares or PAQC Warrants shall have been converted by the First Merger. From and after the First Merger Effective Time, all previous holders of PAQC Ordinary Shares or PAQC Warrants shall cease to have any rights as shareholders or equityholders of PAQC other than the right to receive such holder’s respective portion of the Company Exchange Shares or the Company Exchange Warrants, as applicable, into which such PAQC Ordinary Shares and PAQC Warrants have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, without interest, or, in the case of PAQC Dissenting Shareholders, the right to receive the applicable payment as set forth in Section 4.03. From and after the First Merger Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of PAQC Ordinary Shares or PAQC Warrants on the register of members or transfer books of PAQC.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any portion of the Company Exchange Shares or Company Exchange Warrants that remains undistributed to the PAQC Shareholders as of immediately prior to the date on which the Company Exchange Shares or Company Exchange Warrants would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of the Company, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(b) Each of the Parties, the Second Merger Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent (without duplication) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any Applicable Law; provided, that if the Company or any party acting on its behalf determines that any payment hereunder is subject to deduction and/or withholding, then the Company shall (i) provide written notice to PAQC as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination and (ii) consult and cooperate with PAQC reasonably and in good faith to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

(b)            At all times during the Shareholder Earnout Period, the Company shall reserve and keep available for issuance a sufficient number of authorized and unissued Company Ordinary Shares to permit the Company to satisfy its issuance obligations set forth in this Section 4.06 and shall take all actions required to increase the authorized number of Company Ordinary Shares if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized and unissued Company Ordinary Shares to permit such reservation.

(c)            The Company shall take such actions as are reasonably requested by Shareholder Earnout Participants to evidence the issuances pursuant to this Section 4.06, including through the provision of an updated register of members (or extract thereof) showing such issuances (as certified by an officer of the Company responsible for maintaining such register of members or the registered office provider of the Company).

(d)            In the event that the Company shall at any time during the Shareholder Earnout Period pay any dividend on Company Ordinary Shares by the issuance of additional Company Ordinary Shares, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of Company Ordinary Shares, then in each such case, (i) the number of Shareholder Earnout Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of Company Ordinary Shares (including any other shares so reclassified as Company Ordinary Shares) issued and outstanding immediately after such event(s) and the denominator of which is the number of Company Ordinary Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to such event(s) and (ii) the dollar values set forth in Section 4.06(a) above shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to such Shareholder Earnout Participant the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event(s).

(e)            During the Shareholder Earnout Period, the Company shall take all reasonable efforts for (i) the Company to remain listed as a public company on, and for the Company Class A Ordinary Shares (including, when issued, the Shareholder Earnout Shares) to be tradable over, the Nasdaq, and (ii) the Shareholder Earnout Shares (other than the Class B Ordinary Shares), when issued, to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq.

(f)             For the avoidance of doubt, each Shareholder Earnout Participant shall be entitled to receive Shareholder Earnout Shares only upon the occurrence of each Shareholder Earnout Event; provided, however, that each Shareholder Earnout Event may only occur once, if at all, and, with respect to each Shareholder Earnout Event, in no event shall any Shareholder Earnout Participant or any other Person be entitled to receive, nor shall the Company be obligated to issue, more than the product of (i) the total amount of Shareholder Earnout Shares specified in Section 4.06(a) for such Shareholder Earnout Event (as adjusted by Section 4.06(d)) multiplied by (ii) the applicable Pro Rata Portion for such Shareholder Earnout Event.

(g)           The rights of the Shareholder Earnout Participants to receive the Shareholder Earnout Shares are personal in nature and, except with the written consent of the Company, are non-transferable and non-assignable, except that each Shareholder Earnout Participant shall be entitled to assign such rights by will or, by the laws of intestacy.

(h)           The right of the Shareholder Earnout Participants to receive the Shareholder Earnout Shares shall not entitle the holders thereof to any voting or dividend rights otherwise granted to holders of Company Class A Ordinary Shares (if any) prior to the issuance of such shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to issue Company Class A Ordinary Shares to the extent not permitted to do so by Applicable Law, including by way of an exemption from registration under applicable securities laws.

(i)             In the event that after the Closing and prior to the expiration of the Shareholder 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 the expiration of the Shareholder Earnout Period and such Change of Control is ultimately consummated, even if such consummation occurs after the expiration of the Shareholder Earnout Period), (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (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 the Company, or a receiver is appointed for the Company or a substantial part of its assets or properties or (iv) the Company 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 (each of clauses (i) through (iv), a “Shareholder Earnout Acceleration Event”), then any Shareholder Earnout Shares that have not been previously issued by the Company (whether or not previously earned) shall be deemed earned and issued by the Company to the Shareholder Earnout Participants upon such Shareholder Earnout Acceleration Event pursuant to this Article 4 unless, in the case of a Shareholder Earnout Acceleration Event that is a Change of Control, the value of the consideration to be received by the holders of the Company Ordinary Shares in such Change of Control transaction is less than the share price threshold applicable to the applicable Shareholder Earnout Event; provided that the determinations of such consideration and value shall be determined in good faith by the disinterested members of the Company Board; and provided, further, that if there is a Change of Control pursuant to which (i) holders of the Company Ordinary Shares receive no consideration or (ii) the Change of Control transaction is structured such that the Shareholder Earnout Shares may still be earned, then no Shareholder Earnout Acceleration Event shall be deemed to have occurred, and the Shareholder Earnout Participants shall continue to have the right to receive Shareholder Earnout Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) PAQC shall cause coverage to be extended under its current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance 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 Second Merger Effective Time. If any claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, the provisions of this Section 9.02 shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this ‎Section 9.02 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers until the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Second Merger Effective Time and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of the Company and the Second Merger Surviving Company. In the event that the Company or the Second Merger Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company or the Second Merger Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this ‎Section 9.02.

Section 9.03. Tax Matters.

(a) The Parties intend that for U.S. federal (and, as applicable, state and local) income Tax purposes, Mergers, taken together, be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and this Agreement be adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Section 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder with respect thereto (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The Parties will not take any action that could reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or impede the Intended Tax Treatment and will not take any inconsistent position for Tax purposes unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code. This Agreement is intended to constitute and hereby is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” with respect to the Mergers within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) for purposes of Section 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Unless and until PAQC and the Company agree that the Intended Tax Treatment is not permitted by Applicable Law or there is a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code that the Intended Tax Treatment is not permitted by Law, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to comply with the covenants set forth in Appendix 9.03(a).

(b) All Transfer Taxes shall be borne by the Company and paid when due. The Company shall timely file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Tax Returns and, if required by Applicable Law, the Company Shareholders will join in the execution of any such Tax Return or documentation.

(c) The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party or its counsel, to document and support the Tax treatment of the Mergers in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, including by providing customary representation letters. Such cooperation shall include the reasonable provision of records and information which are relevant to any such matters and within such party’s possession or obtainable without material cost or expense, and using commercially reasonable efforts to make employees or other representatives available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(d) The Company Shareholders and each of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall terminate or cause to be terminated any and all of the Tax Sharing Agreements in effect, written or unwritten, as of immediately before the First Merger Effective Time as between any Company Shareholder or any predecessor or Affiliate thereof, on the one hand, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, for all Taxes imposed by any Taxing Authority, regardless of the period in which such Taxes are imposed, and there shall be no continuing obligation to make any payments under any such Tax Sharing Agreements.

(e) The Company (i) shall cause Merger Sub 1 to make a timely initial entity classification election to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes effective as of the day of its formation (and shall not thereafter change such classification), (ii) shall cause Merger Sub 2 to make a timely initial entity classification election on IRS Form 8832 for Merger Sub 2 effective as of the day of its formation to be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and shall not thereafter change such classification), and (iii) shall take no action that would result in Merger Sub 1 or Mergers Sub 2 being other than a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Company. The Company shall make available to the pre-Closing PAQC shareholders information that is reasonably required to make a timely and valid election as contemplated by Section 1295 of the Code (and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) with respect to PAQC for each year that PAQC is considered a passive foreign investment company (including through provision of the Annual Information Statement described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1295-1(g)), including, at the Company’s election, by making such information publicly available on the Company’s website.

PAQC and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, and cause their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, to reasonably cooperate, with each other and their respective representatives, advisers and counsels in the preparation of the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement. PAQC and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to and resolve all comments received from the SEC concerning the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement, to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) PAQC and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “blue sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the Mergers, and the Company and PAQC shall promptly furnish all information concerning the Company and PAQC respectively as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.04(d), the Company shall initially include in the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement: (i) the audited consolidated balance sheets and statements of comprehensive income, equity and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 prepared in accordance with IFRS, together with the auditor’s consents to use such financial statements and reports (the “Audited IFRS Financial Statements”), and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet and statements of comprehensive income, equity and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 prepared in accordance with IFRS, together with the auditor’s consents to use such financial statements and reports (the “Interim IFRS Financial Statements” and, together with the Audited IFRS Financial Statements, the “IFRS Financial Statements”); provided that if (x) the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC after March 31, 2022 or (y) requested by the SEC, the Interim IFRS Financial Statements initially included in the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement shall be replaced with the audited consolidated balance sheets and statements of comprehensive income, equity and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 prepared in accordance with IFRS, together with the auditor’s reports and consents to use such financial statements and reports (the “2021 Audited IFRS Financial Statements”) and any other financial statements required by the SEC to be included in the Registration Statement and/or the Proxy Statement.

(g) If, at any time prior to the Second Merger Effective Time, any information relating to PAQC, the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors or officers, as applicable, or the Company Shareholders is discovered by any of PAQC or the Company and is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement, so that the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.04, be promptly filed by the Company with the SEC and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, disseminated to the Pre-Closing PAQC Holders.

(f)            by either the Company or PAQC if the PAQC Shareholder Approval is not obtained upon a vote duly taken thereon at the PAQC Extraordinary General Meeting (subject to any permitted adjournment or postponement of the PAQC Extraordinary General Meeting).

This Agreement, and all Actions based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of laws of another jurisdiction, except that the following matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the Laws of the Cayman Islands in respect of which the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Cayman Islands: the First Merger, the Second Merger, the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of each of Merger Sub 1 and the Company in the First Surviving Company, the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of each of Merger Sub 2 and the First Surviving Company in the Second Surviving Company, the cancellation of PAQC Ordinary Shares, the rights provided for in Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act with respect to any PAQC Dissenting Shares, the fiduciary or other duties of the PAQC Board, the Company Board, the directors of Merger Sub 1, the directors of Merger Sub 2 and the internal corporate affairs of PAQC, the Company, Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2.

Section 12.16.         Enforcement.

(a)            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 respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that 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 or inadequacy of any remedy at Applicable Law, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with ‎Section 11.01, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or Applicable Law.

(b)            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 12.16‎(b) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.
