This NON-REDEMPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 30, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between Project Energy Reimagined Acquisition Corp., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (the “Company”), and the undersigned investor (the “Backstop Investor”).

WHEREAS, the Company is a special purpose acquisition company with public units, Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), and warrants that trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “PEGRU”, “PEGR” and “PEGRW”, respectively;

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2023 (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), with Heramba Electric plc, an Irish public limited company duly incorporated under the laws of Ireland (“Holdco”), Heramba Merger Corp., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability, Heramba Limited, an Irish private company duly incorporated under the laws of Ireland (“Heramba Limited”), and Heramba GmbH, a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) established under the laws of Germany;

WHEREAS, at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company held on March 28, 2024 (the “Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders voted to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the business combination contemplated thereby (together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Business Combination”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended (the “Articles”), and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed by the Company and mailed to the shareholders of record as of the record date for the Meeting, the Company’s public shareholders had until 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 26, 2024, to demand that the Company redeem their Ordinary Shares for the Redemption Price (as defined in the Articles and which, for illustrative purposes, would have been approximately $10.66 as of December 31, 2023) in connection with the approval and consummation of the Business Combination (each such demand, a “Redemption Demand”);

WHEREAS, the Backstop Investor has entered into the Loan Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2024 (the “Loan Agreement”), with Heramba Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), and Heramba Limited, which includes as a closing condition the execution of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Backstop Investor is willing to rescind or reverse all Redemption Demands submitted with respect to the Backstop Investor Shares (as defined below), or to cause all such Redemption Demands to be rescinded or reversed, in each case prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Company and the Backstop Investor are entering into this Agreement in anticipation of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement determining to proceed with the Closing;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other matters, each Ordinary Share outstanding at the Closing will be cancelled in exchange for one ordinary share in the capital of Holdco with a nominal value of €0.0001 (“Holdco Ordinary Shares”);

WHEREAS, prior to, concurrently with or following the execution of this Agreement, the Company may have entered into or may enter into other non-redemption agreements on substantially similar terms with other shareholders of the Company; and

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings specified in the Business Combination Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Non-Redemption Agreement.

(a) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Backstop Investor shall purchase Ordinary Shares up to the applicable amount set out in Exhibit A (the “Share Cap”) from shareholders of the Company who have rescinded or reversed any previously submitted Redemption Demand with respect to such shares, either in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, no later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing, provided that the Company provides public disclosure of the date on which the Closing is expected to occur at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing (the “Closing Announcement”). Within one (1) business day following the Closing Announcement, the Company shall cause the Borrower to provide written notice to the Backstop Investor as to the date on which the repayment in full by the Borrower of all sums due pursuant to the Loan Agreement occurred or shall occur, which such date the Backstop Investor may rely upon to determine the applicable Share Cap in accordance with Exhibit A. The Ordinary Shares that the Backstop Investor actually acquires pursuant to this Section 1(a) are referred to herein as the “Backstop Investor Shares”.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Backstop Investor may have voting and investment power over additional Ordinary Shares (such shares, “Non-Backstop Investor Shares”) which are not subject to this Agreement, including any Ordinary Shares in excess of the applicable Share Cap on the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”).

(c) No later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing, the Backstop Investor hereby agrees to provide written notice to the Company of the total number of Backstop Investor Shares it has acquired pursuant to Section 1(a).

(d) If the Backstop Investor is unable to purchase Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the applicable Share Cap, then the Company shall issue Ordinary Shares (or cause the issuance of Holdco Ordinary Shares, if applicable) to the Backstop Investor in an amount equal to the difference between such Share Cap and the number of Backstop Investor Shares acquired by the Backstop Investor (the “Replacement Shares”). In the event that the Replacement Shares are unregistered shares and subject to transfer restrictions, then the Replacement Shares shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first resale registration statement filed by Holdco following the Closing (the “Resale Registration Statement”), subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, and provided that any holder of the Replacement Shares shall have delivered any documentation or other information reasonably requested by Holdco in connection with its preparation of the Resale Registration Statement. The Company shall cause Holdco to file the Resale Registration Statement no later than 30 days after the Closing and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective no later than 90 days after the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or cause the issuance of any Replacement Shares if the Closing does not occur and the Business Combination is abandoned.

2. Non-Redemption Payment. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Backstop Investor a payment in respect of the Backstop Investor Shares held by the Backstop Investor at the Closing (the “Non-Redemption Payment”) in cash released from the Trust Account (as defined below) equal to the number of Backstop Investor Shares multiplied by the Redemption Price.

3. Lock-Up Provisions.

(a) The Backstop Investor hereby agrees not to Transfer (as defined below) the applicable Backstop Investor Shares set out in Exhibit A as “Lock-Up Shares” (including the Holdco Ordinary Shares received in exchange therefor upon the Closing, the “Lock-Up Shares”) until the earlier of (i) the three (3) month anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) such date on which Holdco completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of Holdco’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Holdco Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property (collectively, the “Lock-Up Period”), provided, however, that the Lock-Up Period shall not apply to any Lock-Up Share that is sold by the Backstop Investor at a price that equals or exceeds $10.00 for such Lock-Up Share. For the sake of clarity, (i) the Backstop Investor Shares not designated as Lock-Up Shares shall not be subject to the Lock-Up Period and shall be freely tradable as set forth in Section 13; and (ii) any Lock-Up Shares sold by the Backstop Investor at a price equal to or greater than $10.00 per share shall be deemed to be part of the allocated Lock-Up Shares.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in Section 3(a) shall not apply to the following, provided that the Backstop Investor further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or Holdco, as applicable, that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto:

(i) Transfers (A) to another entity that is an affiliate of the Backstop Investor, or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the Backstop Investor, (B) as part of a distribution to members, partners, shareholders or equity holders of the Backstop Investor, or (C) by virtue of applicable laws, including bankruptcy laws, or laws of the state or jurisdiction of the Backstop Investor’s organization or the Backstop Investor’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the Backstop Investor; or

(ii) Transfers in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the consummation of the Business Combination;

provided, however, that in the case of clause (i) above, any such Transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and it shall be a condition to such Transfer that each applicable permitted transferee enter into a written agreement with the Company or Holdco, as applicable, agreeing to be bound by the Transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Any purported Transfer contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be void ab initio, and the Company or Holdco, as applicable, shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Lock-Up Shares as an equity holder for any purpose. The Backstop Investor acknowledges and agrees that, during the Lock-Up Period, stop transfer orders shall be placed against the Lock-Up Shares and each certificate or book entry position statement evidencing the Lock-Up Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO LOCK-UP PROVISIONS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF DURING THE TERM OF THE LOCK-UP PERIOD. A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT CONTAINING SUCH LOCK-UP PROVISIONS WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

(d) As used in this Section 3, “Transfer” means the:

(i) sale or assignment of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security;

(ii) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise; or

(iii) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii) above.

4. Representations and Warranties.

(a) Each of the parties hereto represents and warrants to the other party that:

(i) it is a validly existing company, partnership or corporation, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation or incorporation;

(ii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation on it in accordance with its terms, subject to laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and relief of debtors, and laws governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies;

(iii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action;

(iv) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not result in a violation of its Certificate of Formation or Certificate of Incorporation or equivalent organizational documents, as applicable, or conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound; and

(v) there is no action, suit, proceeding or governmental investigation pending or, to the knowledge of such party, threatened against it or any of its property or assets, which would have a material adverse effect on the ability of such party to comply with its obligations hereunder.

(b) The Backstop Investor represents and warrants to the Company that:

(i) as of the date of the notice referenced in Section 1(c), the Backstop Investor will beneficially own all of the Backstop Investor Shares subject to this Agreement and any previously submitted Redemption Demand with respect to such shares will have been rescinded or reversed; and

(ii) with respect to the issuance of any Replacement Shares that are unregistered shares and subject to transfer restrictions:

(A) the Backstop Investor is (I) a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or (II) an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act), and would be acquiring the Replacement Shares only for the Backstop Investor’s own account and not for the account of others, and not on behalf of any other account or person or with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide any requested information supporting such representations as the Company or Holdco may reasonably request). The Backstop Investor is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Replacement Shares and is an “institutional account” as defined by Rule 4512(c) of Financial Regulatory Industry Authority; and

(B) the Backstop Investor understands that the Replacement Shares would be offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Replacement Shares will not have not been registered under the Securities Act. The Backstop Investor understands that the Replacement Shares may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Backstop Investor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (I) to the Company (or Holdco, as applicable) or a subsidiary thereof, (II) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (III) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each of cases (I) and (III) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates or book entry position statements evidencing the Replacement Shares would contain a legend to such effect. The Backstop Investor acknowledges that the Replacement Shares may not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. The Backstop Investor understands and agrees that the Replacement Shares would be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of those transfer restrictions, the Backstop Investor may not be able to readily resell the Replacement Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Replacement Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Backstop Investor understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any Replacement Shares.

(i) it will not treat the Non-Redemption Payment as a debt repayment;

(ii) on the date of the Closing Announcement, there will be no less than 13,247,201 Ordinary Shares duly issued and outstanding; and

(iii) all transactions as contemplated hereunder are, and will be, executed by it in compliance with all applicable law, rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, all securities laws of all applicable jurisdictions.

5. Additional Covenants. The Backstop Investor hereby covenants and agrees that, except for this Agreement, the Backstop Investor shall not, at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, (i) enter into any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to the Backstop Investor Shares (or any securities received in exchange therefore) inconsistent with the Backstop Investor’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) grant a proxy, a consent or power of attorney with respect to the Backstop Investor Shares (or any securities received in exchange therefore), (iii) enter into any agreement or take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Backstop Investor contained herein untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or have the effect of preventing or disabling the Backstop Investor from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement, or (iv) purchase the Backstop Investor Shares at a price higher than the price offered through the Company’s redemption process.

6. Expenses. Each party hereto shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses related to this Agreement and, except as required by the Loan Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby.

7. Termination. This Agreement and all of its provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (a) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the mutual written consent of the parties hereto, (c) August 2, 2024, if the Business Combination has not been consummated by such date, and (d) the termination of the Lock-Up Period following the consummation of the Business Combination. Upon such termination of this Agreement, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, without any liability or other obligation on the part of any party hereto to any person in respect hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to clauses (a) and (d) above shall not affect any liability on the part of any party for an intentional breach of this Agreement; and (ii) Section 6 through and including Section 24 of this Agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement.

8. Trust Account Waiver. The Backstop Investor acknowledges that the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (“IPO”) and certain proceeds of private placements in connection with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Backstop Investor hereby agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties) that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, or distributions to public shareholders therefrom, and it shall not make any claim against the Trust Account, or distributions to public shareholders therefrom, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”); provided, that the Released Claims shall not include any rights or claims of the Backstop Investor or any of its Related Parties as a shareholder of the Company to the extent related to or arising from any Backstop Investor Shares. The Backstop Investor hereby irrevocably waives (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties) any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account, or distributions to public shareholders therefrom, now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account, or distributions to public shareholders therefrom, with respect to the Released Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall not restrict the Backstop Investor’s (i) redemption rights with respect to the Non-Backstop Investor Shares or (ii) claims related to the Non-Redemption Payment against any funds released to the Company from the Trust Account upon the Closing or otherwise held by the Company outside of the Trust Account. As used in this Section 8, “Related Parties” means a party’s affiliates and its and its affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, members, partners, owners, affiliates, advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants and consultants), agents and other representatives.

9. Public Disclosure. The Backstop Investor agrees that, other than the existence of this Agreement, a potential transaction with a municipal transit authority (the “Transaction”) and certain matters related to the Loan Agreement (the “Loan Matters”), no material non-public information concerning the Company, the Ordinary Shares or the Business Combination has been disclosed to the Backstop Investor by the Company or its representatives as of the Effective Date. The Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC reporting the material terms of this Agreement within four (4) business days following the execution of this Agreement (the “Current Report”). Additionally, the Company shall: (i) publicly disclose the material terms of the Transaction (the “Transaction Disclosure”); and (ii) shall cause the Borrower to publicly disclose the material terms of the Loan Matters (the “Borrower Announcement”), provided that for each of the Transaction Disclosure and the Borrower Announcement such public disclosures shall be made prior to the purchase of any Backstop Investor Shares by the Backstop Investor and in no case later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing Announcement. The Company, and the Borrower to the extent applicable, shall determine the content of the public disclosures pursuant to this Section 9 provided that the material terms to be disclosed regarding the Transaction shall include, but not be limited to, (x) the total revenue impact, including any go forward options; (y) the timeline for recognizing the revenues generated by the project; and (z) the impact on the Company’s financial statements. Following the Effective Date, the Company shall not, and shall cause its representatives to not, disclose any material non-public information to the Backstop Investor, including any material non-public information concerning the Company, the Ordinary Shares, the Transaction or the Business Combination, other than the existence of this Agreement and the Loan Matters, such that, to the Company’s knowledge, the Backstop Investor shall not be in possession of any such material non-public information from and after the filing of the Current Report, the Transaction Disclosure and the Borrower Announcement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Backstop Investor agrees that the Company shall have the right to publicly disclose the nature of the Backstop Investor’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under and relating to this Agreement in any filing by the Company with the SEC.

10. Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Backstop Investor, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses (but excluding financial losses to an Indemnified Party relating to the economic terms of this Agreement), claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of, in connection with, or relating to, the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding against the Company; provided, that the Company will not be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Backstop Investor’s breach of this Agreement or from the Backstop Investor’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or fraud. In addition (and in addition to any other reimbursement of legal fees contemplated by this Agreement), the Company will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable, out-of-pocket, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11. Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights and duties of the parties hereto, and any disputes (whether in contract, tort or statute) arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware or, if such courts do not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The parties irrevocably agree that all such claims shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware state or federal court, and that such jurisdiction of such courts with respect thereto will be exclusive. Each party hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement that it is not subject to such jurisdiction, or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in such courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of any such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 22 hereof or in such other manner as may be permitted by Delaware law, will be valid and sufficient service thereof.

12. Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law that cannot be waived, each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to trial by jury in respect of any litigation based on, arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any course of conduct, course of dealing, verbal or written statement or action of any party hereto or thereto, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, statute, equity or otherwise. Each party hereby further agrees and consents that any such litigation shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the parties to this Agreement may file a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

13. Freely Tradable. The Company confirms that except with respect to the Lock-Up Shares and any Replacement Shares, (i) the Backstop Investor Shares will be freely tradable without restrictive legends following the Business Combination, (ii) the Backstop Investor Shares will not require re-registration pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC on Form S-1 or Form S-3 or equivalent following the Business Combination, and (iii) that the Backstop Investor shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in any registration statement filed with the SEC on Form S-1 or Form S-3 or equivalent, subject in each case to compliance with applicable securities laws.

14. Form W-9 or W-8. The Backstop Investor shall, upon the request of the Company at or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, execute and deliver to the Company a completed IRS Form W-9 or Form W-8, as applicable.

15. Non-Reliance. The Backstop Investor has had the opportunity to consult its own advisors, including financial and tax advisors, regarding this Agreement or the arrangements contemplated hereunder and the Backstop Investor hereby acknowledges that neither the Company nor any representative or affiliate of the Company has provided or will provide the Backstop Investor with any financial, tax or other advice relating to this Agreement or the arrangements contemplated hereunder.

16. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly named in this Section 16, this Agreement is not intended, nor shall be construed, to give any person, other than the parties and their respective successors and assigns, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever by reason this Agreement.

17. Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned (including by operation of law) without the prior written consent of the non-assigning party hereto (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 3, the Backstop Investor may transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to one or more investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the Backstop Investor (or its affiliates) and to the extent such transferee is not a party to this Agreement, such transferee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof prior to any such transfer being effectuated; provided, that the Backstop Investor shall provide the Company with prior written notice of any such transfer.

18. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy for such breach and the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any state or federal court within the State of New York.

19. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, changed, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto.

20. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

21. No Partnership, Agency or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship between the Backstop Investor, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship between the parties.

22. Notices. All notices, consents, waivers and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) if personally delivered, on the date of delivery; (b) if delivered by express courier service of national standing for next day delivery (with charges prepaid), on the business day following the date of delivery to such courier service; (c) if delivered by electronic mail, on the date of transmission if on a business day before 5:00 p.m. local time of the business address of the recipient party (otherwise on the next succeeding business day), provided the sender receives no bounce-back or similar message indicating non-delivery; in each case to the appropriate addresses set forth below (or to such other addresses as a party may designate by notice to the other parties in accordance with this Section 22):
