7. Ownership Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive Ordinary Shares upon conversion of this Note to the extent (but only to the extent) that such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group (as defined below) to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of a number of Ordinary Shares which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Ordinary Shares that are outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of Ordinary Shares in connection with the conversion of this Note prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage of Ordinary Shares that are outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Ordinary Shares owed to the Holder following conversion of this Note is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver Ordinary Shares as promptly as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof. To the extent limitations contained in this Section 7 apply, the determination of whether the principal amount of this Note is convertible and of which portion of the principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder, and the submission of a notice of conversion shall be deemed to constitute the Holder’s determination that the issuance of the full number of Conversion Shares requested in the notice of conversion is permitted hereunder, and the Company shall be entitled to rely on the representations and other information set forth in any Conversion Notice and shall not have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 7, (i) the term “Maximum Percentage” shall mean 4.99%; provided, that if at any time after the date hereof the Holder Group beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to 9.99% for so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares); and (ii) the term “Holder Group” shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section 13 of the Exchange Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Section 13 and/or Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In determining the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent annual or quarterly reports filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one Business Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided, that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to convert this Note or receive shares pursuant to this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this Section 7 shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.

 

8. Conversion.

 

(a)Conversion Shares. This Note and any Exchange Note issued in exchange for this Note shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.

 

(b)Conversion Right. Beginning on the Closing and until the payment of the Note Obligations in full, Holder, in its sole discretion and upon written notice to the Company, may elect to have all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount, all interest accrued with respect to such outstanding portion of the Principal Amount and any unpaid and any costs, fees and expenses due hereunder through the date that the Holder notifies in writing the Company of its intent to convert pursuant to this Section 8 (such Principal Amount and accrued interest, the “Conversion Amount”) converted into that number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient of (i) the Conversion Amount divided by (ii) the Conversion Price or Alternative Conversion Price, if applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written notice by Holder of the intent to convert, the Company may instead elect to pay all of the Conversion Amount in cash. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the transfer agent) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Ordinary Shares upon conversion of any Conversion Amount. The conversion of Note Obligations into Conversion Shares will affect the Principal Amount and accrued interest under this Note as set forth in Section 8(e).

 

7

 

(c)Efforts to Convert. Beginning on the date that is six months after the Issuance Date, the Holder will use its commercially reasonable efforts to exercise its conversion rights with respect to the Notes, taking into account, among other things, the trading volume for the Ordinary Shares, the price of the Ordinary Shares compared to the Floor Price, the registration status of the Notes and the Ordinary Shares and whether there are any restrictions on the trading of the Ordinary Shares by the Holder.

 

(d)Notice of Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into Conversion Shares on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall deliver to the Company (whether via facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion (the “Conversion Notice”) specifying the Conversion Amount, the Conversion Price (or Alternative Conversion Price), and the number of Conversion Shares.

 

(e)Effect on Principal and Accrued Interest. Upon any conversion of Note Obligations into Ordinary Shares, the Note Obligations will be initially reduced by the Conversion Amount set forth in the Conversion Notice. In the event that Holder sells any of the Conversion Shares issued in that conversion on the open market, then the amount by which the conversion reduces the Note Obligations will be adjusted to equal the net cash proceeds actually received by Holder from such sales of Conversion Shares. The Holder will provide a report to the Company of its sales of Conversion Shares that specifies the net cash proceeds thereof and the adjustments to the Note Obligations no less frequently than once per calendar month. All reductions of the Note Obligations (whether from the Conversion Amount or an adjustment to reflect the net cash proceeds from the sale of the Conversion Shares) will be made first to reduce accrued interest outstanding, second to costs, fees and expenses due hereunder and then when there is no longer any accrued interest outstanding or costs, fees and expenses due hereunder, to reduce the Principal Amount of this Note. In the event that the Company issues Conversion Shares in respect of a Conversion Notice at a time when the Holder is in possession of unsold Conversion Shares in respect of one or more earlier conversions, then any sale by the Holder will be applied to the different conversions from the earliest to the latest.

 

(f)Voluntary Adjustment of Conversion Price. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Conversion Price of the Note to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

 

(g)Surrender of Note. Promptly after a conversion of all amounts due under this Note pursuant to this Section 8, but in no event more than five Business Days thereafter, Holder shall deliver the original of this Note (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the Holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note arising out of any claims that the Original Note was not lost, stolen or destroyed).

 

8

 

(h)Reservation of Ordinary Shares. Each of the Company and Pubco represents that it has reserved for issuance from its duly authorized capital stock for issuance under this Note (or the Exchange Note in the case of Pubco) a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Maximum Number of Shares, and that, in the case of Pubco, such shares shall be approved by Nasdaq for listing upon the Closing, subject only to notice of issuance. Each of the Company and Pubco covenants that in the event the Maximum Number of Shares increases, it will promptly undertake such actions as may be necessary to have a sufficient additional number of Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance and approved for listing on Nasdaq such that the total so reserved and approved for listing equals the Maximum Number of Shares. Each of the Company and Pubco covenants that all of the Ordinary Shares issued under this Note or the Exchange Note, shall be at the time of such issuance, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable by the Company or Pubco, as applicable, not subject to any preemptive rights, and free from any taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof. Each of the Company and Pubco shall take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all such Ordinary Shares may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or regulation. Pubco shall deliver simultaneously with the execution of this Note, a fully executed and complete irrevocable letter of instruction or similar instrument to the transfer agent of Company and Pubco, in a form acceptable to Holder, with respect to the issuance on or after the Closing of Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to conversion of this Note (the “Irrevocable Letter of Instruction”). The Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note (or the Exchange Note) shall not bear any restrictive legends. On and after the date of this Note, the Company shall timely report all necessary public information required by Rule 144(c)(2) for Holder to resell the Ordinary Shares issued to Holder under this Note in reliance upon the public information requirements set forth in Rule 144(c)(2). In the Irrevocable Letter of Instruction, the Company shall instruct the transfer agent to place the Conversion Shares on reserve for eventual conversion of this Note (the “Reserved Shares”). The Reserved Shares shall remain in the created reserve with the transfer agent until Holder provides written instructions to the transfer agent that the Reserved Shares, or any part of the Reserved Shares, shall be taken out of the reserve and shall no longer be subject to the terms of the Irrevocable Letter of Instruction or until the transfer agent receives an opinion from the Company’s counsel or from acceptable counsel to the transfer agent.

 

(i)Fractional Securities. No fractional Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional Ordinary Shares to Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall round up to the nearest whole share.

 

(j)Issuance Taxes. The issuance of Ordinary Shares upon conversion of all or any portion of the outstanding Note Obligations in accordance with this Section 8 shall be made without charge to Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof.

 

(k)Conversion Limitation. The following provisions shall apply in the event that the Company is, or becomes classified as, a Domestic Issuer. In order to comply with the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market relating to shareholder approval of a transaction by an issuer other than in a public offering, the Notes will only be convertible into the number of Ordinary Shares that, in the aggregate, would result in the issuance of not more than 19.99% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the Issue Date (the “Conversion Limit”). Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Note, a conversion of this Note that would cause the aggregate number of shares issued under this Note to exceed the Conversion Limit may not occur prior to receipt of shareholder approval to provide for such conversion of this Note, and the subsequent issuance of Ordinary Shares, pursuant to the shareholder approval rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Approval”). The Company shall hold an annual or special meeting of shareholders on or prior to the date that is 30 days following the date of this Note for the purpose of obtaining the Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors that such proposals are approved, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its shareholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposals. If the Company does not obtain Approval at the first such meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every 90 days thereafter to seek shareholder Approval until the date on which Approval is obtained.

(l)Floor Price Adjustment. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, each of the Company and the Holder may, at any time and from time-to-time during the term of this Note, upon written notice to the other, reduce the then current Floor Price of the Note (a “Floor Price Adjustment”). The Company may adjust the Floor Price to a new Floor Price of its designation; provided, that the new Floor Price must be lower than the then existing Floor Price and equal to or greater to the lowest Conversion Price permitted by the Principal Market for the Ordinary Shares, if any. The Holder may adjust the Floor Price to a new Floor Price equal to 20% of the VWAP for the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Day on which the Holder provides the written notice; provided, that the new Floor Price must be lower than the then existing Floor Price and equal to or greater to the lowest Conversion Price permitted by the Principal Market for the Ordinary Shares, if any. The Company shall file a registration statement to register any additional shares underlying this Note pursuant to a Floor Price Adjustment as set forth in this Section 8(l) no later than ten days following the Floor Price Adjustment.

10. Registration.

 

(a)At the time of and in connection with the Closing, Pubco shall issue to Holder, in exchange for this Note issued by the Company, a new note that is substantially identical to this Note in all material respects (the “Exchange Note”), except that the Exchange Note will be an obligation of Pubco, the obligations under the Exchange Note will be convertible into ordinary shares of Pubco, and references to the Company shall be to Pubco.

(i)file one or more registration statements with the SEC to register the resale of all Securities issuable upon conversion of the Exchange Note (the “Registrable Shares”), to the extent not already registered, on Form F-3 (or Form F-1 if Form F-3 is not available) under the Securities Act, providing for shelf registration of such Registrable Shares under SEC Rule 415, no later than 15 business days following the Closing (or in the case of an increase in the Maximum Number of Shares, five business days from the date of such increase), including any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, exhibit or amendment included in or relating to such registration statement being the “Resale Registration Statement”);

 

10

 

(ii)use its reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable and in any event by the earlier of (x) 30 days after the filing thereof (or, in the event the staff of the SEC reviews and has written comments to such Resale Registration Statement, 75 days of the filing thereof) and (y) the date that is six months after the Issuance Date (or in the case of an increase in the Maximum Number of Shares, the date that is three months after the date of such increase), such efforts to include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, preparing and filing with the SEC any financial statements or other information that is required to be filed prior to the effectiveness of such Resale Registration Statement;

 

(iii)keep the Resale Registration Statement continuously effective and available for use by the Holder (subject to Section 12) for a period of three years, including promptly preparing and filing with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Resale Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Resale Registration Statement continuously effective and free from any material misstatement or omission to state a material fact therein;

 

(iv)furnish to the Holder such number of copies of prospectuses in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and such other documents as the Holder may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Shares by the Holder;

 

(v)file such documents as may be required of Pubco for normal securities law clearance for the resale of the Registrable Shares in such states of the United States as may be reasonably requested by the Holder and use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such blue sky qualifications during the period Pubco is required to maintain effectiveness of each such Resale Registration Statement;

 

(vi)upon notification by the SEC that a Resale Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is not subject to further review by the SEC, within one Trading Day following the date of such notification, request acceleration of such Resale Registration Statement (with the requested effectiveness date to be not more than two Trading Days later);

 

(vii)upon notification by the SEC that a Resale Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act (“Rule 424”) within the applicable time period prescribed by Rule 424;

 

(viii)advise the Holder promptly (and in any event within two Trading Days thereof):

 

(A)of the effectiveness of a Resale Registration Statement or any post-effective amendments thereto;

 

(B)of any request by the SEC for amendments to a Resale Registration Statement or amendments to the prospectus or for additional information relating thereto;

 

(C)of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Resale Registration Statement under the Securities Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Registrable Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes; and

 

11

 

(D)of the existence of any fact and the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in a Resale Registration Statement, the prospectus and amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in a Resale Registration Statement or the prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and

 

(ix)cause all Registrable Shares to be listed on each securities exchange, if any, on which equity securities by Pubco are then listed.

 

(c)Underwriter Status. Neither the Company nor Pubco shall identify the Holder as a statutory underwriter in any Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC. In the event that the Holder is identified as a statutory underwriter, the Company and Pubco will afford the Holder the ability to conduct standard due diligence of the Company, Pubco, ClimateRock and their subsidiaries, including a review of documents, meetings with management and the delivery of a customary comfort letter from the auditors of the Company, Pubco and ClimateRock.

 

11. Failure to Timely Register. In the event that Pubco (a) fails to file the Resale Registration Statement by the deadline set forth in Section 10(b)(i), (b) fails to cause the Resale Registration Statement to become effective by the deadline set forth in Section 10(b)(ii), or (c) fails to keep the Resale Registration Statement continuously effective and available for use by the Holder, as required by Section 10(b)(iii) (each, a “Registration Failure”), then Pubco shall pay to the Holder, for each calendar day that the Registration Failure continues without being cured by Pubco, an amount in cash equal to 0.000166667 times the Principal Amount of this Note then outstanding, up to a maximum of 0.12 times the Principal Amount of this Note at Issuance (the “Damages Payments”); it being understood that Pubco may have a Registration Failure after the Maturity Date. Pubco shall make any outstanding Damages Payments in respect of a Registration Failure no later than two Trading Days after receipt of an invoice therefor delivered from the Holder to Pubco, and no more frequently than every ten Trading Days, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Holder.

 

12. Registration Rights Indemnification. The Company and Pubco each agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Holder and its respective affiliates, partners, members, officers, directors, agents and representatives, and each person, if any, who controls the Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 the Exchange Act, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) to which they may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Resale Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in a Resale Registration Statement, and the Company will, as incurred, reimburse the Purchaser Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such Loss arises out of, or is based upon an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in a Resale Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder specifically for use in preparation of a Resale Registration Statement; provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable to the Holder to the extent that any such Loss is caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if either (i) (A) the Holder failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus with or prior to, or the Holder failed to confirm that a final prospectus was deemed to be delivered prior to (in accordance with Rule 172 of the Securities Act), the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Holder to the person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted and (B) the final prospectus corrected such untrue statement or omission, or (ii) (X) such untrue statement or omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to the prospectus and (Y) having previously been furnished by or on behalf of the Company with copies of the prospectus as so amended or supplemented or notified by the Company that such amended or supplemented prospectus has been filed with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 172 of the Securities Act, the Holder thereafter fails to deliver such prospectus as so amended or supplemented, with or prior to or the Holder fails to confirm that the prospectus as so amended or supplemented was deemed to be delivered prior to (in accordance with Rule 172 of the Securities Act), the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Holder to the person asserting the claim from which such Loss resulted.

 

12

 

13. Prospectus Suspension. The Holder acknowledges that there may be times when the Company must suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Resale Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to the Resale Registration Statement has been filed by the Company and declared effective by the SEC, or until such time as the Company has filed an appropriate report with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Holder hereby covenants that it will not sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to said prospectus during the period commencing at the time at which the Company gives the Holder written notice of the suspension of the use of said prospectus and ending at the time the Company gives the Holder notice that the Holder may thereafter effect sales pursuant to said prospectus; provided, that (i) such suspension periods shall in no event exceed in aggregate, more than 20 calendar days in any 12-month period, and (ii) the Company’s board of directors has reasonably determined that, in order for such Resale Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly or annual report under the Exchange Act.

 

14. Legend Removal. The Holder will promptly deliver customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company, its counsel and/or its transfer agent in connection with the Resale Registration Statement. If requested by the Holder, the Company shall remove or instruct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legend with respect to transfers under the Securities Act from any and all Ordinary Shares, Securities, Registrable Shares and this Note then held by the Holder if (1) the Resale Registration Statement is and continues to be, effective under the Securities Act, (2) such Ordinary Shares, Securities, Registrable Shares and Note are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (subject to all applicable requirements of Rule 144 being met), or (3) such Ordinary Shares, Securities, Registrable Shares and/or Note are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information pursuant to Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or the volume and manner of sale limitations under Rule 144(e), (f) and (g); provided, that the Holder shall have timely provided customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company, its counsel and/or its transfer agent in connection therewith. Any reasonable and documented fees (with respect to the transfer agent, Company’s counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of any legal opinion required by the Company’s transfer agent or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company. If a legend is no longer required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will, no later than two Business Days following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the transfer agent of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company, its counsel and/or its transfer agent, remove the restrictive legend related to the book entry account holding the Ordinary Shares, Securities, Registrable Shares or Note, make a new, unlegended book entry for the Ordinary Shares, Securities, Registrable Shares or Note, and, if so requested by the Holder, transferring the shares to the account of the Holder through the system of the Depositary Trust Corporation using the Direct Registration System (DRS).

 

15. Assignment. The Company may not assign or transfer this Note or any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Holder. The Holder may not assign or transfer this Note or any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the Company’s prior written consent, unless such transfer complies with applicable securities laws.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transferee” shall mean (1) the Holder’s partners, shareholders, members or owners of similar equity interests in Holder upon the liquidation and dissolution of Holder, or (2) any affiliate of Holder.

 

19. Miscellaneous.

 

(a)Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Note.

 

(b)Severability. If any provision of this Note shall be judicially determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

(c)Waivers. The Company hereby waives notice of default, presentment or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices or demands relative to this instrument.

 

(d)Costs. Each of the Parties hereto shall pay its own fees, costs and expenses (including the fees of any attorneys, accountants or others engaged by such Party) in connection with this Note and the transactions contemplated hereby whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated; provided, that the Holder may withhold $150,000 from the payment of the purchase price for this Note as reimbursement for its fees, costs and expenses by the Company; provided, further, that the Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses associated with the registration rights contained herein, including the preparation and the filing of the Resale Registration Statement(s). If the Company shall default on the payment of any of the Note Obligations, the Company shall reimburse Holder on demand for its reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs of collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements.

(f)Reservation of Rights.

15

 

(g)CHOICE OF LAW. THIS NOTE AND ALL ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION OR CLAIMS OF ANY KIND (WHETHER AT LAW, IN EQUITY, IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR OTHERWISE) THAT MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS NOTE, OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION NEW YORK LAWS RELATING TO APPLICABLE STATUTES OF LIMITATION AND BURDENS OF PROOF, AVAILABLE REMEDIES AND APPLICABLE EVIDENTIARY PRIVILEGES.

 

(h)Specific Performance. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Note. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Note and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Note were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions (without the proof of actual damages) to prevent breaches of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Note and that no party shall oppose the granting of such relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each party also agrees that it shall waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable relief.

 

(i)Exclusive Jurisdiction. The courts of the State of New York, in the County of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction in relation to all matters which may arise out of or in connection with this Note.

 

(j)Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Note may be amended, modified or waived upon the written consent of the Company and the Holder. No such waiver or consent in any one instance shall be construed to be a continuing waiver or a waiver in any other instance unless it expressly so provides.

 

(k)Wavier Against Trust. Holder agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Note, Holder does not now have, and shall not at any time prior to the effective time of the Business Combination have, any claim to, or make any claim against, the trust account established by the Company in connection with its initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Note, or any other 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 in this Section 20(k) as the “Claims”). Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Note, Holder hereby irrevocably waives any Claim it may have, now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever in respect of any Claim; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver will not limit or prohibit Holder from pursuing a claim against the Company or any other person (a) for legal relief against monies or other assets of the Company held outside of the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds) or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Note Obligations (including a claim for the Company to specifically perform its obligations under this Note) or for fraud or (b) for damages for breach of this Note against the Company (or any successor entity) in the event this Note is terminated for any reason. In the event that Holder commences any action or proceeding against or involving the Trust Account in violation of the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to recover from Holder the associated reasonable legal fees and costs in connection with any such action in the event the Company prevails in such action or proceeding

 

16

The repayment of this Note will be in fulfillment of the payment of $2,000,000 of the total Transaction Fee the Company owes under the Engagement Letter, and the repayment of this Note, whether by receipt of funds or otherwise, will not otherwise constitute payment of any fee or other amounts owing by the Company to the Holder under the Engagement Letter.

This Note be manually or electronically executed in one or more counterparts (delivery of which may occur via facsimile or electronic transmission, including as an attachment to an electronic mail message in “pdf” or similar format), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
