Section 7.8. Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Acquiror agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director, manager and officer of the (x) the Company Parties and each of their Subsidiaries (in each case, solely to the extent acting in their capacity as such and to the extent such activities are related to the business of the Company Parties being acquired under this Agreement) (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) and (y) Acquiror and each of its Subsidiaries (the “Acquiror Indemnified Parties” together with the Company Indemnified Parties, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Legal Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company Parties, Acquiror or their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, would have been permitted under applicable Law and its respective certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such D&O Indemnified Parties (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law). Without limiting the foregoing, Acquiror shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to (i) maintain for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time provisions in its Governing Documents concerning the indemnification and exoneration (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of the Company Parties’, Acquiror’s and their respective Subsidiaries’ former and current officers, directors, employees, and agents that are no less favorable to those Persons than the provisions of the Governing Documents of the Company Parties, Acquiror or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, in each case, as of the date of this Agreement, and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Law. Acquiror shall assume, and be liable for, each of the covenants in this Section 7.8.

(b) Acquiror shall purchase at or prior to the Closing and shall maintain or cause to be maintained in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, without lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the Acquiror as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (the “Acquiror D&O Tail Policy”). The Acquiror D&O Tail Policy shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured than) the coverage provided under the Acquiror’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided that the premium for the Acquiror D&O Tail Policy shall not be in excess of 350% of the most recent premium paid by the Acquiror prior to the date of this Agreement. In the event that the premium for the Acquiror D&O Tail Policy exceeds 350% of the most recent premium paid by the Acquiror prior to the date of this Agreement, the Acquiror shall purchase the maximum coverage available for 350% of the most recent premium paid by the Acquiror prior to the date of this Agreement.

(c) The Company shall purchase at or prior to the Closing and the Acquiror shall maintain or cause to be maintained in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, without lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the Company as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (the “Company D&O Tail Policy”). The Company D&O Tail Policy shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured than) the coverage provided under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to pay a premium for the Company D&O Tail Policy in excess of 350% of the most recent annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement. In the event that the premium for the Company D&O Tail Policy exceeds 350% of the most recent annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company may purchase the maximum coverage available for 350% of the most recent annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 7.8(c), the Acquiror in its sole discretion, in lieu of the Company purchasing the Company D&O Tail Policy, may maintain for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, without lapses in coverage, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the Company as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (and if any claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, any insurance required to be maintained under this Section 7.8(c) shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof).

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 7.8 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on Acquiror and all successors and assigns of Acquiror. In the event that Acquiror or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Acquiror shall ensure that proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Acquiror shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.8.

(e) On the Closing Date, Acquiror shall enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to each of the Company Parties and Acquiror with the post-Closing directors and officers of Acquiror, which indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective following the Closing.

(f) The parties acknowledge and agree that the D&O Indemnified Parties shall be intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.8.

Section 7.9. Acquiror Public Filings. From the date hereof through the Effective Time, Acquiror shall use reasonable best efforts to keep current and timely file all reports required to be filed or furnished with the SEC and otherwise comply in all material respects with its reporting obligations under applicable Laws.

Section 7.10. PIPE Subscriptions; Forward Purchase Agreement. Unless otherwise approved in writing by any Company Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Acquiror shall not permit any amendment or modification (other than changes to a Subscription Agreement that are solely ministerial and non-economic de minimis changes) to be made to, any waiver (in whole or in part) of, or provide consent to modify (including consent to terminate), any provision or remedy under, or any replacements of the Forward Purchase Agreement or any of the Subscription Agreements, in each case, other than any assignment or transfer contemplated therein or expressly permitted thereby (without any further amendment, modification or waiver to such assignment or transfer provision); provided, that, in the case of any such assignment or transfer, the initial party to such Subscription Agreement or Forward Purchase Agreement, as applicable, remains bound by its obligations with respect thereto in the event that the transferee or assignee, as applicable, does not comply with its obligations to consummate the purchase of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock contemplated thereby. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence and in the event that all conditions in the Subscription Agreements and the Forward Purchase Agreement, as applicable, have been satisfied, Acquiror shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions required, necessary or that it otherwise deems to be proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements and the Forward Purchase Agreement on the terms described therein, including using its reasonable best efforts to enforce its rights (a) under the Subscription Agreements to cause the PIPE Investors to pay to (or as directed by) Acquiror the applicable purchase price under each PIPE Investor’s applicable Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms and (b) under the Forward Purchase Agreement to cause the Sponsor to pay (or as directed by) Acquiror the applicable purchase price under the Forward Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Acquiror shall give the Company prompt written notice: (i) of the receipt of any request from a PIPE Investor for an amendment to any Subscription Agreement or from the Sponsor for any amendment to the Forward Purchase Agreement (other than changes to a Subscription Agreement or the Forward Purchase Agreement that are solely ministerial and non-economic de minimis changes); (ii) of any breach or default to the knowledge of Acquiror (or any event or circumstance that, to the knowledge of the Acquiror, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Subscription Agreement or Forward Purchase Agreement; (iii) of the receipt by the Acquiror of any written notice or other written communication with respect to any actual or potential threatened or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, breach, default, termination or repudiation of the Subscription Agreement or the Forward Purchase Agreement; and (iv) if Acquiror does not expect to receive all or any portion of the applicable purchase price under any PIPE Investor’s Subscription Agreement or Forward Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(iv) If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to the Company Parties, Acquiror or any of their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors or officers is discovered by the Company Parties or Acquiror, which is required or is otherwise reasonably desirable to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement, so that neither of such documents would include any misstatement of a material fact or omitting to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, with respect to the Proxy Statement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading), the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the Acquiror Stockholders.

(vi) Each of the Company Parties, on the one hand, and Acquiror, on the other, shall be responsible for and pay 50% of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of the Offer Documents, other than the fees and expenses of advisors (which will be borne by the party incurring such fees).

(b) Acquiror Stockholder Approval. Acquiror shall (i) as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, (A) cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to Acquiror Stockholders in compliance with applicable Law, (B) solely with respect to the Transaction Proposals, duly give notice of and convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting”) in accordance with Acquiror’s Governing Documents and applicable Law (including Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(b)), for a date no later than thirty (30) Business Days following the date the Registration Statement is declared effective, and (C) solicit proxies from the holders of Acquiror Common Stock to vote in favor of each of the Transaction Proposals, and (ii) provide its stockholders with the opportunity to elect to effect an Acquiror Stockholder Redemption. Acquiror shall, through unanimous approval of its Board of Directors, recommend to its stockholders the (1) the amendment and restatement of Acquiror’s Governing Documents, in substantially the forms attached as Exhibits A and B to this Agreement (the “Amendment Proposal”), (2) the adoption and approval of this Agreement in accordance with applicable Law and exchange rules and regulations, (3) approval of the issuance of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock in connection with the Merger, PIPE Investment and Forward Purchase Agreement, (4) approval of the adoption by Acquiror of the Incentive Equity Plan and the ESPP described in Section 7.1(a), (5) the election of directors effective as of immediately following the Closing as contemplated by Section 7.6, (6) adoption and approval of any other proposals as the SEC (or staff member thereof) may indicate are necessary in its comments to the Registration Statement or correspondence related thereto, (7) adoption and approval of any other proposals as reasonably agreed by Acquiror and Company Holdco to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (8) adjournment of the Acquiror Stockholders’ Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt any of the foregoing (such proposals in (1) through (8), together, the “Transaction Proposals”), and include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement. The Board of Directors of Acquiror shall not withdraw, amend, qualify or modify its recommendation to the Acquiror Stockholders that they vote in favor of the Transaction Proposals (a “Modification in Recommendation”). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.2(b) to the contrary, if, at any time prior to obtaining the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of Acquiror determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that in response to an Intervening Event, the failure to make a Modification in Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Board of Directors of Acquiror may, prior to obtaining the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, make a Modification in Recommendation; provided, however, that Acquiror shall not be entitled to make, or agree or resolve to make, a Modification in Recommendation unless (i) Acquiror delivers to the Company Parties a written notice (an “Intervening Event Notice”) advising the Company Parties that the Board of Directors of Acquiror proposes to take such action and containing the material facts underlying the Board of Director’s determination that an Intervening Event has occurred (it being acknowledged that such Intervening Event Notice shall not itself constitute a breach of this Agreement), and (ii) at or after 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the third Business Day immediately following the day on which Acquiror delivered the Intervening Event Notice (such period from the time the Intervening Event Notice is provided until 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the third Business Day immediately following the day on which Acquiror delivered the Intervening Event Notice, the “Intervening Event Notice Period”), the Board of Directors of Acquiror reaffirms in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make a

Modification in Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

The Company Parties further acknowledge that, as described in the Prospectus, substantially all of Acquiror’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Acquiror’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in the trust account for the benefit of Acquiror, certain of its public stockholders and the underwriters of Acquiror’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). The Company Parties acknowledge that they have been advised by Acquiror that, except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Acquiror to pay its franchise Tax, income Tax and similar obligations, the Trust Agreement provides that cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only in limited circumstances set forth in the Trust Agreement. The Company Parties further acknowledge that, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or, in the event of a termination of this Agreement, another Business Combination, are not consummated by March 8, 2023 or June 8, 2023 if a definitive agreement for another Business Combination is entered into before March 8, 2023, or such later date as approved by the stockholders of Acquiror to complete a Business Combination, Acquiror will be obligated to return to its stockholders the amounts being held in the Trust Account. Accordingly, for and in consideration of Acquiror entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company Parties hereby irrevocably waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they have or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agree not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with Acquiror, including, without limitation, in connection with any willful and material breach by Acquiror of this Agreement, other than for the release of proceeds from the Trust Account upon the consummation of the Merger; provided, that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company Parties’ right to pursue a claim against Acquiror for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions (including a claim for Acquiror to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the Acquiror Stockholder

Redemption) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect Acquiror ability to fulfil its obligations to effectuate the Acquiror Stockholder Redemption and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company Parties may have in the future against Acquiror’s assets or funds that are not held in 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). This Section 11.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. In the event that either of the Company Parties, any of their Subsidiaries, any of their Affiliates or any of their respective representatives commences any Action against or involving the Trust Account in breach of this Agreement, Acquiror shall be entitled to recover from such Person its legal fees and costs in connection with any such Action.

Acquiror and the Company Parties, on behalf of their respective successors and assigns (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation), further agree that, as to all legally privileged communications prior to the 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 Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby) between or among Acquiror, the Sponsor and/or any other member of the KVAC Group, on the one hand, and Latham, on the other hand (the “Latham Privileged Communications”), the attorney/client privilege and the expectation of client confidence shall survive the Merger and belong to the KVAC Group after the Closing, and shall not pass to or be claimed or controlled by the Surviving Corporation.
