4.7  Waiver and Release of Claims. Each Supporting Holder covenants and agrees, severally with respect to such Supporting Holder only and not with respect to any other Supporting Holder, as follows:

 

(a)  Effective upon the Closing, in consideration for the undersigned Supporting Holder’s portion of the Consideration, such Supporting Holder, on behalf of himself, herself or itself, and his, her or its Affiliates and equityholders (if the Supporting Holder is an entity) and each of their respective successors and assigns, hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases, acquits and forever discharges the SPAC Parties and the Company, and each Subsidiary and Affiliate of the foregoing and their respective Representatives and equityholders, and each of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, “Released Parties”) from any claims, suits, demands, debts, accounts, covenants, contracts, arrangements, promises, obligations, damages, judgments, debts, dues, or liabilities of any kind, actions, and causes of action of every kind and nature, or otherwise (including claims for damages, costs, expenses, and attorneys’, brokers’ and accountants’ fees and expenses), in law or equity (“Action”), which the Supporting Holder has or may have against any Released Party, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, accrued or fixed, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, determined or determinable, and that now exist or may hereafter exist (collectively, “Claims”) solely to the extent such Claims arise or relate to any inaccuracy or miscalculation in the portion of the Consideration received by such Supporting Holder in connection with the Closing (collectively, the “Released Claims”). The Supporting Holder shall refrain from directly or indirectly asserting any claim or commencing (or causing to be commenced) any Action of any kind before any Governmental Authority against any Released Party based upon any Released Claim.

(b)  The Supporting Holder represents and acknowledges that: (i) he, she or it has read this release and understands its terms and has been given an opportunity to ask questions of the Company’s Representatives and (ii) in signing this release he, she or it does not rely, and has not relied, on any representation or statement not set forth in this release made by any Representative of the Company or anyone else with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this release or otherwise. The Supporting Holder further represents and acknowledges that he, she or it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which the he, she or it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter herein, and that he, she or it may hereafter come to have a different understanding of the Law that may apply to potential claims which the undersigned is releasing hereunder, but the undersigned affirms that, except as is otherwise specifically provided above, it is his, her or its intention to fully, finally and forever settle and release any and all Released Claims. In furtherance of this intention, the Supporting Holder acknowledges that the releases contained herein shall be and remain in effect as full and complete general releases notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional facts or different understandings of Law.

 

(c)  The Supporting Holder acknowledges that he, she or it may execute, and may have executed, additional releases in connection with the Transactions, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Supporting Holder will be bound by each release to which he, she or it is a party and such releases will be cumulative and not exclusive to one another.

 

4.8  Guaranty.

 

(a)  The Supporting Holders, on a joint and several basis, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to SPAC the due and punctual payment of the payment obligations of the Company under Section 11.03 of the Purchase Agreement, as they may be amended, changed, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, including by providing any necessary funds to the Company to allow it to fulfill its obligations under the Purchase Agreement at the Closing, and undertakes to perform all such payment obligations to the extent that the Company fails to do so (the “Guaranteed Obligations”), which payment obligations shall be (i) payable in cash, or (ii) by transfer of 50% of the fully diluted Equity Securities of the Company, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions on transfer generally arising under applicable federal and state securities laws) (in such amounts of Equity Securities of the Company by each Supporting Holder as determined by the Supporting Holders). In the event that the Supporting Holders satisfies the Guaranteed Obligations by transfer of the Company’s Equity Securities, each Supporting Holder shall (A) provide customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in respect of such transfer, (B) enter into customary shareholders’ arrangements with SPAC, and (C) shall take all actions necessary, proper or advisable in connection with the transfer of the Company’s Equity Securities as are reasonably requested by SPAC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Supporting Holder unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, covenants and agrees to be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the due and punctual performance of each of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(b)  In the event that any payment to SPAC in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Supporting Holders shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations as if such payment had not been made. The covenants in this Section 4.8 are an unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collection. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Supporting Holders acknowledge that their liability hereunder shall extend to the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, and that SPAC may, in its sole discretion, bring and prosecute a separate action or actions against the Supporting Holders to enforce this Section 4.8 for such amount, regardless of whether any action is brought against the Supporting Holders or the Company or whether the Supporting Holders or the Company is joined in any such action.

 

(c)  The Supporting Holders agree that the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure or delay of SPAC to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company interested in the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement; (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Purchase Agreement (other than amendments to the Guaranteed Obligations) made in accordance with the terms thereof or any agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) the addition, substitution or release of any Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, to or from Section 4.8, the Purchase Agreement; (iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which the Supporting Holders may have at any time against the Company, or the SPAC Parties, whether in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise; (vii) the adequacy of any other means SPAC may have of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (viii) any change in the Law of any jurisdiction; (ix) the value, genuineness, validity, regularity, illegality or enforceability of the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement; or (x) any other act or omission that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Supporting Holders or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of the Supporting Holders. For avoidance of doubt, upon the payment of cash or transfer of Equity Securities in accordance with Section 4.8(a), the Guaranteed Obligation shall be deemed paid in full and the Supporting Holders shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Agreement (including with respect to the Termination Fee).

 

7

 

 

(d)  The Supporting Holders irrevocably and absolutely waive any and all right of subrogation, contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar rights against the Company with respect to the guaranty provided in this Section 4.8, whether such rights arise under an express or implied Contract or by operation of Law, it being the intention of the Supporting Holders and SPAC that the Supporting Holders shall not be deemed to be a “creditor” (as defined in Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Law) of the Company by reason of the existence of the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement in the event that the Company becomes a debtor in any proceeding under applicable Law. In addition, the Supporting Holders will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation under this guaranty by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have indefeasibly been paid or performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Supporting Holders on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been indefeasibly paid or performed in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of SPAC and shall forthwith be paid to SPAC and applied to such liabilities and obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

 

(e)  The covenants in this Section 4.8 shall remain in full force and effect until the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to SPAC or the covenants in this Section 4.8 are terminated because (i) the Closing is consummated, (ii) the Purchase Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms (other than a termination of the Purchase Agreement in any circumstance in which the Company Termination Fee is payable), or (iii) SPAC receives consideration for the Guaranteed Obligation as described in Section 4.8(a) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. All obligations to which this Section 4.8 shall apply or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon.
