Each of the Parties agree that, notwithstanding any provision of the Indemnity Agreements, each Indemnity Agreement shall continue to be binding and remain in full force and effect after any indemnitee thereunder has ceased to serve as a director or officer of the SPAC, and New Sponsor shall cause the Indemnitee Agreements to remain in full force and effect, without any amendment or modification thereto, until the closing of an initial business combination or liquidation of the SPAC.

5
(c) this Agreement will be valid and binding on each Party and enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer or conveyance, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity; and
(d) except for the consents provided in Section 4 and as contemplated by Section 9(a), no third-party consents to the transfer of the SPAC Securities as contemplated herein are required by virtue of the Sponsor’s ownership of the SPAC Securities.
7. Additional Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor. Sponsor represents and warrants to the New Sponsor, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, that:
