Section 2.5. Surrender of Company Equity Securities and SPAC Equity Securities and Disbursement of Shareholder Merger Consideration.

(a) Prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, PubCo shall appoint Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as exchange agent, or another exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (in such capacity, the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of exchanging (i) Company Shares for a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares and (ii) SPAC Ordinary Shares for a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares, each in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Plan of Initial Merger and applicable Laws. At or as promptly as practicable following the Initial Merger Effective Time or the Acquisition Effective Time, as the case may be, PubCo shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each Company Shareholder a letter of transmittal for use in such exchange, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and SPAC (each a “Letter of Transmittal”).

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.5, any obligation on PubCo under this Agreement to issue PubCo Ordinary Shares to (i) SPAC Shareholders entitled to PubCo Ordinary Shares or (ii) Company Shareholders entitled to receive PubCo Ordinary Shares shall be satisfied by PubCo issuing such PubCo Ordinary Shares to the DTC or to such other clearing service or issuer of depositary receipts (or their nominees, in either case) as may be necessary or expedient, and each SPAC Shareholder and Company Shareholder shall hold such PubCo Ordinary Shares in book-entry form or through a holding of depositary receipts and the DTC or its nominee or the relevant clearing service or issuer of depositary receipts (or their nominees, as the case may be), will be the holder of record of such PubCo Ordinary Shares.

(c) Each SPAC Shareholder shall be entitled to receive its portion of the Initial Merger Consideration in respect of the SPAC Ordinary Shares and in the form of Merger Sub Shares as set forth in Section 2.2(f)(iv) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Initial Merger Effective Time.

(d) Each Company Shareholder shall be entitled to receive its portion of the Shareholder Merger Consideration in respect of the Ordinary Shares and in the form of PubCo Ordinary Shares, as set forth in Section 2.3(e)(i) and (ii) (excluding any Company Shares described in Section 2.3(e)(iii) or Dissenting Shares), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Acquisition Effective Time, but subject, to the extent compatible with Swiss Law, to the delivery to the Exchange Agent of the following items prior thereto: (i) the certificate(s), if any, representing such Company Shares (“Company Certificates” and together with the SPAC Certificates, the “Stockholder Certificates” (or a Lost Certificate Affidavit)) and (ii) a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (the documents to be submitted to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this sentence and the first sentence of Section 2.5(c), as applicable, may be referred to herein collectively as the “Transmittal Documents”). Until so surrendered, each such Company Certificate shall represent after the Acquisition Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such portion of the Acquisition Merger Consideration attributable to such Company Shares (as evidenced by the Company Certificate).

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, if any portion of the Shareholder Merger Consideration is to be delivered or issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Stockholder Certificate is registered immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time or Acquisition Effective Time, as applicable, it shall be a condition to such delivery that (i) in the case of Company Shares, the transfer of such Company Shares shall have been permitted in accordance with the terms of the Company Charter and in case of SPAC Shares, the transfer of such SPAC Shares shall have been permitted in accordance with the terms of the SPAC Charter, (ii) the recipient of such portion of the Shareholder Merger Consideration, or the Person in whose name such portion of the Shareholder Merger Consideration is delivered or issued, shall have already executed and delivered duly executed counterparts to the applicable Transmittal Documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Exchange Agent and (iii) the Person requesting such delivery shall have paid to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such delivery to a Person other than the registered holder of such Stockholder Certificate, or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the event that any Stockholder Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, in lieu of delivery of a Stockholder Certificate to the Exchange Agent, the SPAC Shareholder or Company Shareholder, as applicable, may instead deliver to the Exchange Agent an affidavit of lost certificate and indemnity of loss in form and substance reasonably acceptable to PubCo (a “Lost Certificate Affidavit”), which at the reasonable discretion of PubCo may include a requirement that the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Stockholder Certificate deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against PubCo, SPAC or the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Company Shares or SPAC Shares, as applicable, represented by the Stockholder Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. Any Lost Certificate Affidavit properly executed and delivered in accordance with this Section 2.5(f) shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be treated as a Stockholder Certificate for all purposes of this Agreement.

(g) After the Acquisition Effective Time, the shareholders register of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration on the shareholders register of the Surviving Corporation of transfers of Company Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time. After the Initial Merger Effective Time, the register of members of SPAC shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration on the register of members of SPAC of transfers of SPAC Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date of this Agreement with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares with a record date after the Acquisition Effective Time (in the case of Company Shares) or the Initial Merger Effective Time (in the case of SPAC Shares) will be paid to the holders of any Company Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time or SPAC Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time (as applicable) in either case until the holders of record of such Company Shares or SPAC Shares (as applicable) shall have provided the applicable Transmittal Documents in accordance with Section 2.5(c) and Section 2.5(d). Subject to applicable Law, following the delivery of the applicable Transmittal Documents, the Exchange Agent shall promptly deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, the applicable Shareholder Merger Consideration and the amount of any such dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Acquisition Effective Time or the Initial Merger Effective Time, as applicable, theretofore paid with respect to such PubCo Ordinary Shares.

(h) All securities issued upon the surrender of Stockholder Certificates (or delivery of a Lost Certificate Affidavit) in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to SPAC Shares or Company Shares, as applicable, represented by such Stockholder Certificates. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any portion of the Shareholder Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.5(a) that remains unclaimed by SPAC Shareholders or Company Shareholders one year after the Initial Merger Effective Time shall be returned to PubCo, upon demand, and any such SPAC Shareholder or Company Shareholder, as applicable, who has not exchanged its SPAC Shares or Company Shares, as applicable, for the applicable portion of the Shareholder Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.5 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to PubCo for payment of the portion of the Shareholder Merger Consideration in respect of such SPAC Shares or Company Shares, as applicable, without any interest thereon (but with any dividends paid with respect thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, PubCo or any party hereto or any Representative of any of the foregoing shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a PubCo Ordinary Share will be issued by virtue of the Mergers or the other Transactions, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a PubCo Ordinary Share (after aggregating all fractional shares of the applicable class of PubCo Ordinary Shares that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall instead have the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares of the applicable class issued to such Person rounded up in the aggregate to the nearest whole PubCo Ordinary Share of such class.

Section 2.6. Dissenter’s Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under Swiss Law, Company Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition Effective Time and that are held by shareholders of the Company who shall have demanded properly in writing dissenters’ rights for such Company Shares in accordance with Article 8 of the Swiss Merger Act and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of Swiss Law relevant to the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, and such shareholders shall have no right to receive, the applicable Shareholder Merger Consideration unless and until such shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to dissenters’ rights under Swiss Law. The Company Shares owned by any Company Shareholder who fails to perfect or who effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its dissenters’ rights pursuant to Swiss Law shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Acquisition Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable Shareholder Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.

(b) Prior to the Acquisition Closing, the Company shall give PubCo prompt notice of any demands for dissenters’ rights received by the Company and any withdrawals of such demands and the Company and PubCo shall reasonably cooperate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such dissenters’ rights in accordance with applicable Swiss Law.

Section 2.7. Withholding. Each of the Surviving Corporation, PubCo and Merger Sub (and their Affiliates and Representatives) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. Other than in respect of amounts subject to compensatory withholding, the Surviving Corporation, PubCo or Merger Sub (or their Affiliates or Representatives) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding is expected to be made at least five Business Days prior to making any such deduction or withholding, which notice shall be in writing and include the amount of and basis for such deduction or withholding. The Surviving Corporation, PubCo or Merger Sub (or their Affiliates or Representatives), as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Person to reduce or eliminate any such requirement to deduct or withhold to the extent permitted by Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation, PubCo or Merger Sub (or their Affiliates or Representatives), as the case may be, and timely paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.8. Earnout.

(a) Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.8(c) below, the Company Shareholders shall have the right to receive an aggregate of up to 5,000,000 additional PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Earnout Shares”) during each of the three fiscal years after the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 2.10 and applicable Swiss Law. PubCo shall issue and the Company Shareholders shall have the right to receive their respective portions of the Earnout Shares as described in the immediately following sentence. In the event (each, an “Earnout Event”) that:

(i) the VWAP of the PubCo Shares equals or exceeds $11.00 for 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period prior to December 31, 2026 (the “Initial VWAP Condition”), then PubCo shall issue an aggregate of 1,667 PubCo Shares (the “Initial VWAP Shares”) to the Company Shareholders;

(ii) the VWAP of the PubCo Shares equals or exceeds $12.50 for 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period prior to December 31, 2027 (the “Second VWAP Condition”), then PubCo shall issue to the Company Shareholders (A) an aggregate of 1,667 PubCo Shares (the “Second VWAP Shares”), and (B) if the Initial VWAP Shares have not been issued pursuant to Section 2.8(a)(i), the Initial VWAP Shares; and

(iii) the VWAP of the PubCo Shares equals or exceeds $14.00 for 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period prior to December 31, 2028 (the “Third VWAP Condition” and together with the Initial VWAP Condition and the Second VWAP Condition, each a “VWAP Condition”), then PubCo shall issue to the Company Shareholders (A) an aggregate of 1,666 PubCo Shares to the Company Shareholders, (b) if the Initial VWAP Shares have not been issued pursuant to Section 2.8(a)(i) or Section 2.8(a)(ii), the Initial VWAP Shares, and (c) if the Second VWAP Shares have not been issued pursuant to Section 2.8(a)(ii), the Second VWAP Shares.

(b) Issuances of Earnout Shares, if any, shall be made promptly (and in any event no later than the third Business Day) following, as applicable, (i) the filing of PubCo’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the applicable period or (ii) satisfaction of a VWAP Condition. PubCo shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, provide evidence of such issuance to each Company Shareholder promptly thereafter.

(c) The applicable number of Earnout Shares issued for each applicable Earnout Event, if any, shall be subject to equitable adjustment for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting the PubCo Shares after the Closing.

The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter or any breach of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise limit or affect the rights of, or the remedies available to, SPAC or the Company, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any failure to give such notice pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall not give rise to any liability of the Company or SPAC or be taken into account in determining whether the conditions in Article IX have been satisfied or give rise to any right of termination set forth in Article X.

(a) Each of SPAC, the Acquisition Entities and the Company shall (i) use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Transactions to qualify, and agree not to, and not to permit or cause any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries to, take any action (or fail to take any action) which to its knowledge could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Transactions from qualifying, for the Intended Tax Treatment and (ii) cause, in each case for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Merger Sub to elect to be disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes as of the effective date of its formation and not subsequently change such classification effective on or prior to the Initial Closing Date. Each of SPAC, the Acquisition Entities and the Group Companies shall report the Transactions consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment and the immediately preceding sentence, and will not take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return or during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, except as otherwise required by a change in applicable Law after the date hereof or pursuant to a final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Each of SPAC, the Acquisition Entities and the Group Companies agrees to promptly notify each other of any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental Authority.

(b) In the event that SPAC, the Acquisition Entities or the Company seeks a tax opinion from its respective tax advisor regarding the Intended Tax Treatment of the Mergers, or the SEC requests or requires tax opinions, each party shall use reasonable efforts to execute and deliver customary tax representation letters (not to be inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents) as the applicable tax advisor may reasonably request in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such advisor. If the SEC (or its staff) requests or requires any opinion on the Intended Tax Treatment of the SPAC Restructuring or other tax consequences to SPAC Shareholders, SPAC shall cause such opinion (as so required or requested) to be provided by Winston & Strawn LLP (“Winston”). If the SEC (or its staff) requests or requires any opinion on the Intended Tax Treatment of the Acquisition Merger or other tax consequences to Company Shareholders, the Company shall cause such opinion (as so required or requested) to be provided by Duane Morris LLP (“Duane Morris”). For the avoidance of doubt, a tax opinion regarding the Intended Tax Treatment is not a condition to closing.

(c) The parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person or take any other reasonable action as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Transfer Tax.

(d) SPAC, Acquisition Entities or the Company, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other party in writing if, before the Initial Closing Date or Acquisition Closing Date, as applicable, it determines that it is not reasonable for the Transactions to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, as applicable. Following such notice, the notifying party may propose amendments to the terms of this Agreement that such person believes could reasonably facilitate such qualification without adversely affecting the rights and commercial position of SPAC, Acquisition Entities, the Company, and their respective shareholders and warrant or option holders. In that case, each other party shall consider in good faith the proposed amendments and, if it determines in good faith that they would not result in unreasonable delay to Initial Closing and/or Acquisition Closing and would not adversely affect the rights or commercial position of SPAC, the Company, and their respective shareholders and warrant or option holders, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect any such amendments.

(e) In the event of any investment (including any “PIPE” investment) in shares or stock rights of any Person that have the effect of entitling the holder thereof to receive shares in PubCo in connection with any of the Mergers (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, open market purchases of SPAC Units, SPAC Ordinary Shares or SPAC Rights), the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to structure such investment in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to result in any of the Mergers failing to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment.

Section 8.5. Stockholder Litigation. The Company and, prior to the Initial Closing, PubCo shall promptly advise SPAC, and SPAC and, following the Initial Closing, PubCo, shall promptly advise the Company, as the case may be, of any Action commenced (or to the Knowledge of the Company or PubCo or the Knowledge of SPAC, as applicable, threatened) on or after the date of this Agreement against such party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its directors or officers by any Company Shareholder or SPAC Shareholder relating to this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other Transactions (any such Action, “Stockholder Litigation”), and such party shall keep the other party reasonably informed regarding any such Stockholder Litigation. Other than with respect to any Stockholder Litigation where the parties identified in this sentence are adverse to each other or in the

context of any Stockholder Litigation related to or arising out of a Company Acquisition Proposal or a SPAC Acquisition Proposal, (a) the Company and, prior to the Initial Closing, PubCo shall give SPAC a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such Stockholder Litigation (and consider in good faith the suggestions of SPAC in connection therewith) brought against the Company or PubCo, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors or officers and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the SPAC’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (b) SPAC and, following the Initial Closing, PubCo, shall give the Company a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such Stockholder Litigation (and consider in good faith the suggestions of the Company in connection therewith) brought against SPAC, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its directors or officers, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the Company’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 10.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions abandoned:

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

(g) by written notice to SPAC from the Company if there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of SPAC, Sponsor or Sponsor Affiliate, or any Acquisition Entity set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions specified in Section 9.3 or Section 9.4 would not be satisfied at the relevant Closing Date (a “Terminating SPAC Breach”), if any such Terminating SPAC Breach is curable by SPAC, Sponsor or Sponsor Affiliate then, for a period of up to 30 days after receipt by SPAC of notice from the Company of such breach (the “SPAC Cure Period”), such termination shall not be effective, and such termination shall become effective only if the Terminating SPAC Breach is not cured within SPAC Cure Period;

(h) by written notice from SPAC to the Company if the SPAC Shareholders’ Approval shall not have been obtained at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof taken in accordance with this Agreement, which termination right shall not be exercisable by SPAC if SPAC has materially breached any of its obligations under the proviso to Section 8.2(b); or

Note from Walder Wiss: Registration of the Acquisition Merger in the commercial register (i.e. the merger taking effect) may be difficult to complete within three business days. It can often take up to 10 business days to complete.

ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION; SURVIVAL

Section 11.1. Indemnification. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article XI and from and after the Acquisition Closing Date, and as a material inducement to SPAC entering into this Agreement, the Company Shareholders (collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”) hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party against and in respect of, and to pay, compensate and reimburse the Indemnified Party for, any and all out-of-pocket loss, cost, payment, demand, penalty, forfeiture, expense, liability, judgment, deficiency or damage (including actual costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses) (all of the foregoing collectively, “Losses”) incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Party as a result of or in connection with any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained herein and/or any matters described in Section 11.1 of the Company Disclosure Letter, whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any liability incurred pursuant to the terms of this Article XI shall be paid exclusively from the Indemnity Escrow Shares (valued at the then market value per share), in accordance with the terms of the Indemnity Escrow Agreement.

Section 11.2. Indemnity Escrow Agreement. At the Acquisition Closing, 5,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to the Company Shareholders (the “Indemnity Escrow Shares”), on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of Company Shares held by each of the Company Shareholders immediately prior to the Acquisition Closing (“Pro Rata Basis”), will be deposited into an escrow account (the “Indemnity Escrow Account”) with an escrow agent reasonably acceptable to SPAC and the Shareholder Representative (the “Indemnity Escrow Agent”) for the benefit of SPAC’s Shareholders, pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement among the Indemnity Escrow Agent, PubCo and the Shareholder Representative (the “Indemnity Escrow Agreement”).

Section 11.3. Indemnification Procedures. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by the Indemnified Party for indemnification:

(a) the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) of any direct claim or third-party action with respect to which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to Sections 14.1 and 14.3 (a “Third-Party Claim”), which shall describe in reasonable detail the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party and shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof. The failure to give the Indemnification Notice shall not impair any of the rights or benefits of such Indemnified Party under Sections 14.1 or 14.3, except to the extent such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such claim or increases the amount of such liability;

(b) in the case of any Third-Party Claims as to which indemnification is sought by the Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the sole expense and liability of the Indemnifying Party, to exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after the giving of an Indemnification Notice by the Indemnified Party (but in any event within 10 days thereafter), shall (i) deliver a written confirmation to such Indemnified Party that the indemnification provisions of Sections 14.1 and 14.3 are applicable to such action and the Indemnifying Party will indemnify such Indemnified Party in respect of such action pursuant to the terms of Sections 14.1 and 14.3, (ii) notify such Indemnified Party in writing of the intention of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense thereof, and (iii) retain legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim;

(c) if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 14.3(b), then the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in any manner reasonably requested in connection with the defense, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be kept fully informed by the Indemnifying Party and his legal counsel with respect to the status of any legal proceedings, to the extent not inconsistent with the preservation of attorney-client or work product privilege. If the Indemnifying Party so assumes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the named parties to any such Third-Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include an Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of the defense thereof, and in any such case the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party;

(d) if the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 14.3(b), the Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand arising from such asserted liability unless the Indemnifying Party withdraws from or fails to vigorously prosecute the defense of such asserted liability, or unless a judgment is entered against the Indemnified Party for such liability. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend, or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the Indemnifying Party fails to adequately prosecute or withdraw such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of (i) that part of any Third-Party Claim (A) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, or (B) to the extent such Third-Party Claim involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party or (ii) the entire Third-Party Claim if such Third-Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the Indemnified Party in an amount which is greater than the amount as to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. In the event the Indemnified Party retains control of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

(e) if the Indemnified Party undertakes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Sections 14.1 and 14.3 and proposes to settle the same prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement, assume or reassume the defense thereof or prosecute such appeal, in each case at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Third-Party Claim (i) in which any relief other than the payment of money damages is or may be sought against the Indemnified Party, (ii) in which such Third-Party Claim could be reasonably expected to impose or create a monetary liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (such as an increase in the Indemnified Party’s income Tax) other than the monetary claim of the third party in such Third-Party Claim being paid pursuant to such settlement or judgment, or (iii) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant, person conducting such investigation or initiating such hearing, plaintiff or petitioner to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim and all other actions (known or unknown) arising or which might arise out of the same facts; and

(f) following the Acquisition Closing, the Sponsor shall have the authority to institute and prosecute any claims for indemnification hereunder in good faith on behalf of the Indemnified Party to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.4. Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in this Article XI shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 11.1 until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification thereunder exceeds $250,000.00 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible;

(b) The aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 11.1 shall not exceed the Indemnity Escrow Shares;

(c) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XI in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received by the Indemnified Party in respect of any such claim. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses; and

(d) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.

Section 11.5. Escrow of Indemnity Escrow Shares. The Company, the Company Shareholders and the Shareholder Representative hereby authorize PubCo to deposit the Indemnity Escrow Shares, as applicable, in the Indemnity Escrow Account pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. If the Indemnity Escrow Shares are issued and deposited in the Indemnity Escrow Account, such Indemnity Escrow Shares will reduce the PubCo Shares payable to the Company Shareholders, on a Pro Rata Basis, under this Agreement.

(a) Any dividends, interest payments, or other distributions of any kind made in respect of the Indemnity Escrow Shares, if any, will be delivered promptly to the Indemnity Escrow Agent to be held in escrow. The Company Shareholders shall be entitled to vote the Indemnity Escrow Shares on any matters to come before the shareholders of PubCo;

(b) At the times provided for in Section 11.5(d), the Indemnity Escrow Shares shall be released and transferred by the Indemnity Escrow Agent to the Company Shareholders. PubCo will take such action as may be necessary to cause such securities to be issued in the names of the appropriate persons. Certificates representing Indemnity Escrow Shares so issued that are subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws will bear a legend to that effect. No fractional shares shall be released and delivered from the Indemnity Escrow Account to the Company Shareholders and all fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share;

(c) no Indemnity Escrow Shares or any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, sold, assigned or transferred, including by operation of law, by the Company Shareholders or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of the Company Shareholders, prior to the transfer and delivery from the Escrow Agent to the Company Shareholders; and

(d) within five business days following expiration of the Survival Period (the “Release Date”), the Indemnity Escrow Shares will be released from escrow to the Company Shareholders, on a Pro Rata Basis, less the number or amount of Indemnity Escrow Shares (valued at the then market value per share) equal to the amount of any potential Losses set forth in any Indemnification Notice from Sponsor with respect to any pending but unresolved claim for indemnification. Prior to the Release Date, the Shareholder Representative shall deliver to the Indemnity Escrow Agent a certificate executed by him (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) instructing the Indemnity Escrow Agent to release such number of Indemnity Escrow Shares determined in accordance with this Section 11.5. Any Indemnity Escrow Shares retained in escrow as a result of the immediately preceding sentence shall be released and transferred to the Company Shareholders promptly upon resolution of the related claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any indemnification payments will be made to Sponsor or its successors.

Section 11.6. Payment of Indemnification. In the event the Indemnified Party is determined to be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Article XI, such indemnity shall be paid exclusively by delivery or cancellation of Indemnity Escrow Shares to PubCo (valued at the then market value per share).

Section 11.7. Survival. All representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement (including all schedules and exhibits hereto and all certificates, documents, instruments and undertakings furnished pursuant to this Agreement) shall survive for a period of 12 months following the Closing; provided, that the Company Fundamental Representations shall survive indefinitely (the “Survival Period”). After the expiration of the Survival Period, the Indemnifying Party shall have no further liability for indemnification pursuant to this Article XI other than with respect to the claims already made pursuant to this Article XI or in the case of fraud.

Section 11.8. Sole and Exclusive Remedy. The remedies provided in this Article XI shall be deemed the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Party, from and after the Acquisition Closing Date, with respect to any and all claims arising out of or related to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, other than in respect of fraud.

ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.1. Trust Account Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company and each Acquisition Entity acknowledges that it has read the publicly filed final prospectus of SPAC, filed with the SEC on August 13, 2024 (File No. 333-280305), including the form of investment management trust agreement by and between SPAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, and understands that SPAC has established the trust account described therein (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. The Company and each Acquisition Entity further acknowledges and agrees that SPAC’s sole assets consist of the cash proceeds of SPAC’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and private placements of its securities occurring simultaneously with the IPO, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public shareholders. Accordingly, the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) and each Acquisition Entity hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind arising out of this Agreement against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account and SPAC to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by SPAC or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, for any knowing and intentional material breach by any of the parties to this Agreement of any of its representations or warranties as set forth in this Agreement, or such party’s material breach of any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which material breach constitutes, or is a consequence of, a purposeful act or failure to act by such party with the knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a material breach of this Agreement; This Section 12.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Section 12.2. Shareholder Representative.

(a) Authority of Shareholder Representative. By approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or by executing and delivering a Letter of Transmittal, each Company Shareholder shall have irrevocably authorized and appointed Shareholder Representative as such Person’s representative and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such Person with respect to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by Shareholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, including the exercise of the power to:

(i) give and receive notices and communications with respect to the matters set forth in Article XI;

(ii) authorize delivery to Indemnified Party of Indemnity Escrow Shares from the Indemnified Escrow Account in satisfaction of any amounts owed to the Indemnified Party pursuant to Article XI;

(iii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to claims for indemnification made by the Indemnified Party pursuant to Article XI;

(iv) litigate, arbitrate, resolve, settle or compromise any claim for indemnification pursuant to Article XI;

(v) execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement;

(vi) make all elections or decisions with respect to matters set forth in Article XI of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement;

(vii) engage, employ or appoint any agents or representatives (including attorneys, accountants and consultants) to assist the Shareholder Representative in complying with its duties and obligations hereunder; and

(viii) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good faith judgment of Shareholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.

The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Shareholder Representative on all matters relating to Article XI of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Company Shareholder by Shareholder Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Company Shareholder by Shareholder Representative, as being fully binding upon such Person. Any decision or action by Shareholder Representative on all matters relating to Article XI of this Agreement, including any agreement between Shareholder Representative and Indemnified Party relating to the defense, payment or settlement of any claims for indemnification hereunder, shall constitute a decision or action of all Company Shareholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Person. No Company Shareholder shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. The provisions of this Section 12.2, including the power of attorney granted hereby, are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not be terminated by any act of any one or Company Shareholders, or by operation of Law.

(b) Resignation or Removal of Shareholder Representative. The Shareholder Representative may resign at any time, and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of a majority in interest of the Company Shareholders according to the number of Company Shares held by each of the Company Shareholders as of immediately prior to the Acquisition Closing (the “Majority Holders”); provided, however, in no event shall Shareholder Representative resign or be removed without the Majority Holders having first appointed a new Shareholder Representative who shall assume such duties immediately upon the resignation or removal of Shareholder Representative. In the event of the death, incapacity, resignation or removal of Shareholder Representative, a new Shareholder Representative shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of the Majority Holders. Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Shareholder Representative shall be sent to the Indemnified Party, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such notice is received by the Indemnified Party; provided, that until such notice is received, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to rely on the decisions and actions of the prior Shareholder Representative as described in Section 12.2(a) above.

(c) No Liability; Indemnification. The Shareholder Representative shall not be liable to the Company Shareholders for actions taken pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, except to the extent such actions shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel, accountants and other professionals and experts retained by Shareholder Representative shall be conclusive evidence of good faith). The Company Shareholders shall severally and not jointly (on a Pro Rata Basis), indemnify and hold harmless

Shareholder Representative from and against, compensate it for, reimburse it for and pay any and all losses, liabilities, claims, actions, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising out of and in connection with its activities as Shareholder Representative under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (the “Representative Losses”), in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Representative Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith of the Shareholder Representative, the Shareholder Representative shall reimburse the Company Shareholders for the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss attributable to such gross negligence, fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith. The Representative Losses shall be satisfied from the Company Shareholders, severally and not jointly (on a Pro Rata Basis).

Section 12.3. Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may, at any time prior to the Acquisition Closing, by action taken by its board of directors or officers or Persons thereunto duly authorized, (a) extend the time for the performance of the obligations or acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties (of another party hereto) that are contained in this Agreement or (c) waive compliance by the other parties hereto with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement, but such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party granting such extension or waiver.

Section 12.4. Notices. All general notices, demands or other communications required or permitted to be given or made hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by courier or sent by registered post or sent by electronic mail to the intended recipient thereof at its address or at its email address set out below (or to such other address or email address as a party may from time to time notify the other parties).

Section 12.8. Governing Law. This Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state (provided that the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of SPAC, the Initial Merger and the Acquisition Merger and any exercise of appraisal and dissenters’ rights with respect to the Initial Merger or Acquisition Merger, and any acts of the Company and the PubCo for which mandatory law provisions apply shall in each case be governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands or Switzerland, as applicable).

Section 12.9. Consent to Jurisdiction. THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK SOLELY IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING FOR INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THAT SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SAID COURTS OR THAT VENUE THEREOF MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT THIS AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS, AND THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY SUCH A DELAWARE STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) 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 THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.9.

Section 12.10. Headings; Counterparts. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Copies of executed counterparts of this Agreement transmitted by electronic transmission (including by email or in .pdf format) or facsimile as well as electronically or digitally executed counterparts (such as DocuSign) shall have the same legal effect as original signatures and shall be considered original executed counterparts of this Agreement.

Section 12.11. Disclosure Letters. The Disclosure Letters (including any section thereof) referenced in this Agreement are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. All references in this Agreement to the Disclosure Letters (including, in each case, any section thereof) shall be deemed references to such parts of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require. Any disclosure made by a party in the applicable Disclosure Letter, or any section thereof, with reference to any section of this Agreement or section of the applicable Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to such other applicable sections of this Agreement or sections of the applicable Disclosure Letter to which it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is responsive to such other section of this Agreement or section of the applicable Disclosure Letter. Certain information set forth in the Disclosure Letters is included solely for informational purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. The disclosure of any information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality or that the facts underlying such information constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect or a SPAC Material Adverse Effect, as applicable.

Section 12.12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Disclosure Letters) and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties to this Agreement relating to the Transactions 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 Subsidiaries relating to the Transactions. No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the Transactions exist between such parties except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents.

Section 12.13. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing in the same manner as this Agreement, which makes reference to this Agreement and which shall be executed by the Company and SPAC; provided, however, that after the Company Shareholders’ Approval or the SPAC Shareholders’ Approval has been obtained, there shall be no amendment or waiver that by applicable Law requires further approval by the shareholders of the Company or the shareholders of SPAC, respectively, without such approval having been obtained.

Section 12.14. Publicity.

(a) All press releases or other public communications relating to the Transactions, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall prior to the Acquisition Closing be subject to the prior mutual approval of SPAC and the Company; provided, that no such party shall be required to obtain consent pursuant to this Section 12.14(a) to the extent any proposed release or statement is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section 12.14(a).

(b) The restriction in Section 12.14(a) shall not apply to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities Law, any Governmental Authority or stock exchange rule; provided, however, that in such an event, the party making the announcement shall, to the extent practicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party in advance as to its form, content and timing.

Section 12.15. Confidentiality. Except as necessary to complete the Proxy Statement, the Group Companies, on the one hand, and SPAC and Acquisition Entities, on the other hand, shall hold and shall cause their respective representatives to hold in strict confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, all documents and information concerning the other party furnished to it by such other party or its representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (a) previously known by the party to which it was furnished, (b) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (c) later lawfully acquired from other sources, which source is not the agent of the other party, by the party to which it was furnished), and each party shall not release or disclose such information to any other person, except its representatives in connection with this Agreement. In the event that any party believes that it is required to disclose any such confidential information pursuant to applicable Laws, such party shall give timely written notice to the other parties so that such parties may have an opportunity to obtain a protective order or other appropriate relief. Each party shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations to hold confidential information concerning or supplied by the other parties if it exercises the same care as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar information. The parties acknowledge that some previously confidential information will be required to be disclosed in the Proxy Statement.

Section 12.16. 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 hereto further agree that if any provision contained in this Agreement 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 in this Agreement that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties hereto.

Section 12.17. Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any Action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party shall allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law, and each party agrees to waiver any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection therewith.

Section 12.18. 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 may only be brought against, the Company, SPAC, and the Acquisition Entities as named parties hereto. Except to the extent a party hereto (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such party hereto) and, in the case of Sponsor and Sponsor Affiliate, pursuant to the Transaction Documents to which they are a party, (i) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or other Representative of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company (each, a “Company Non-Recourse Party”) or of SPAC or any Acquisition Entity (each, an “SPAC Non-Recourse Party”) and (ii) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or other Representative of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Company, SPAC or the Acquisition Entities under this Agreement for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions.

Section 12.19. Conflicts and Privilege.

(a) The Company, SPAC and the Acquisition Entities, on behalf of their respective successors and assigns, hereby agree that, in the event a dispute with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby arises after the Acquisition Closing between or among (x) the Sponsor, the shareholders or holders of other equity interests of SPAC or the Sponsor or any of their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees or Affiliates (other than PubCo or the Surviving Corporation) (collectively, the “Voyager Group”), on the one hand, and (y) PubCo, the Surviving Corporation or any member of the Veraxa Group, on the other hand, any legal counsel, including Winston & Strawn LLP (“Winston”), Bratschi Ltd. (“Bratschi”) and Noerr Partnerschaftsgesellschaft mbB (“Noerr”) (each an “Acquirer Counsel”), that represented SPAC or the Sponsor prior to the Acquisition Closing may represent the Sponsor or any other member of the Voyager Group, in such dispute even though the interests of such Persons may be directly adverse to PubCo or the Surviving Corporation, and even though such counsel may have represented SPAC in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for PubCo, the Surviving Corporation or the Sponsor. The Company, SPAC and the Acquisition Entities, on behalf of their respective successors and assigns (including, after the Acquisition Closing, the Surviving Corporation), further agree that, as to all legally privileged communications prior to the Acquisition Closing (made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or Action arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby) between or among SPAC, the Sponsor or any other member of the Voyager Group, on the one hand, and any Acquirer Counsel, on the other hand, the attorney/client privilege and the expectation of client confidence shall survive the Mergers and belong to the Voyager Group after the Acquisition Closing, and shall not pass to or be claimed or controlled by PubCo or the Surviving Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any privileged communications or information shared by the Company prior to the Acquisition Closing with SPAC or the Sponsor under a common interest agreement shall remain the privileged communications or information of PubCo and the Surviving Corporation.

(b) The Company, SPAC and the Acquisition Entities, on behalf of their respective successors and assigns, hereby agree that, in the event a dispute with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby arises after the Acquisition Closing between or among (x) the shareholders or holders of other equity interests of the Company or any of their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees or Affiliates (other than PubCo or the Surviving Corporation) (collectively, the “Veraxa Group”), on the one hand, and (y) the Surviving Corporation or any member of the Voyager Group, on the other hand, any legal counsel, including Duane Morris LLP and Walder Wyss Ltd. (“WW”), and Esche Schümann Commichau (“Esche”; together with Duane Morris and WW, and each, “Target Counsel”) that represented the Company prior to the Acquisition Closing may represent any member of the Veraxa Group in such dispute even though the interests of such Persons may be directly adverse to PubCo and the Surviving Corporation, and even though such counsel may have represented the Company in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for PubCo and the Surviving Corporation. The Company, SPAC and the Acquisition Entities, on behalf of their respective successors and assigns (including, after the Acquisition Closing, the Surviving Corporation), further agree that, as to all legally privileged communications prior to the Acquisition Closing (made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or Action arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, any Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby) between or among the Company or any member of the Veraxa Group, on the one hand, and any Target Counsel, on the other hand, the attorney/client privilege and the expectation of client confidence shall survive the Mergers and belong to the Veraxa Group after the Acquisition Closing, and shall not pass to or be claimed or controlled by PubCo or the Surviving Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any privileged communications or information shared by SPAC or Sponsor prior to the Acquisition Closing with the Company under a common interest agreement shall remain the privileged communications or information of PubCo or the Surviving Corporation.
