(c) Each Sponsor shall comply with, and fully perform all of its obligations, covenants and agreements set forth in, those certain Letter Agreements, dated as of June 29, 2021 and September 24, 2021, by and among the Sponsors, as applicable, and Acquiror (the “Voting Letter Agreements”), including without limitation the obligations of the Sponsors pursuant to Section 1 therein to not redeem any Acquiror Common Shares owned by such Sponsor in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

(d) During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of the consummation of the Closing and the termination of the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to Article IX thereof, each Sponsor shall not modify or amend any Contract between or among such Sponsor, anyone related by blood, marriage or adoption to such Sponsor or any Affiliate of such Sponsor (other than Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and Acquiror or any of Acquiror’s Subsidiaries, on the other hand, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Voting Letter Agreements.

(a) Organization; Due Authorization. If such Sponsor is not an individual, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, formed, organized or constituted, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Sponsor Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such Sponsor’s corporate, limited liability company or organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or organizational actions on the part of such Sponsor. If such Sponsor is an individual, such Sponsor has full legal capacity, right and authority to execute and deliver this Sponsor Agreement and to perform his or her obligations hereunder. This Sponsor Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Sponsor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties to this Sponsor Agreement, this Sponsor Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of such Sponsor, enforceable against such Sponsor in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy Laws, other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies). If this Sponsor Agreement is being executed in a representative or fiduciary capacity, the Person signing this Sponsor Agreement has full power and authority to enter into this Sponsor Agreement on behalf of the applicable Sponsor.

Other than the Acquiror Common Shares listed on Schedule I attached hereto, such Sponsor does not hold or own any rights to acquire (directly or indirectly) any equity securities of Acquiror or any equity securities convertible into, or which can be exchanged for, equity securities of Acquiror.

(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Sponsor Agreement by such Sponsor does not, and the performance by such Sponsor of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, (i) result in a violation of applicable Law, except for such violations which would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect upon such Sponsor’s ability to perform its obligations under this Sponsor Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (ii) if such Sponsor is not an individual, conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Sponsor, (iii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any Contract binding upon such Sponsor or such Sponsor’s Acquiror Common Shares), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Sponsor of its, his or her obligations under this Sponsor Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on such Sponsor’s Acquiror Common Shares.

(d) Litigation. As of the date hereof, there are no Actions pending against such Sponsor or, to the knowledge of such Sponsor, any of its Affiliates, or to the knowledge of such Sponsor, threatened against such Sponsor or any of its Affiliates, before (or, in the case of threatened Actions, that would be before) any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the ability of such Sponsor to perform its obligations under this Sponsor Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. As of the date hereof, none of such Sponsor or, to the knowledge of such Sponsor, any of its Affiliates is subject to any Governmental Order that would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to prevent, enjoin or materially delay such Sponsor’s ability to perform its obligations under this Sponsor Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(e) Brokerage Fees. Except as described on Section 4.14 of the Acquiror Disclosure Letter, no broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee or other commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement based upon arrangements made by such Sponsor, for which Acquiror or any of its Affiliates may become liable.

(f) Affiliate Arrangements. Except as set forth on Schedule II attached hereto, neither such Sponsor nor any anyone related by blood, marriage or adoption to such Sponsor or, to the knowledge of such Sponsor, any Person in which such Sponsor has a direct or indirect legal, contractual or beneficial ownership of 5% or greater is party to, or has any rights with respect to or arising from, any Contract with Acquiror or its Subsidiaries.
