(c) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Holder does not, and the performance by Holder of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, (i) if Holder is not an individual, conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of Holder, or (ii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any third party (including under any Contract binding upon Holder or the Covered Shares), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by Holder of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement;
(d) there are no Actions pending against Holder or, to the knowledge of Holder, threatened against Holder, 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 performance by Holder of its, his or her obligations under this Agreement;
(e) Holder has not entered into, and shall not enter into, any agreement that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of Holder’s obligations hereunder; and
(f) the Covered Shares are the only shares of capital stock of the Company owned of record or Beneficially Owned by Holder as of the date hereof, and none of such Covered Shares is subject to any proxy, voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of such Covered Shares, except as provided in this Agreement or the organizational documents of the Company.
4. New Securities. If, and as often as, (a) there are any changes in the Company or the Equity Securities of the Company by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or business combination, or by any other similar means that result in Holder acquiring new Equity Securities of the Company, (b) Holder purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any Equity Securities of the Company after the date of this Agreement, or (c) Holder acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of any Equity Securities of the Company after the date of this Agreement (such other Equity Securities of the Company, collectively the “New Securities”), then, in each case, such New Securities acquired or purchased by Holder shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Covered Securities owned by Holder as of the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 shall not apply to any Equity Securities of the Company acquired after the Closing or pursuant to any PIPE Financing.
5. To the extent applicable to such Holder, each Holder hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any rights he, she or it may have in connection with the Business Combination (including the issuance of shares by the Company in the context of the PIPE Financing) or the execution of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Article 14 (Pre-emptive Rights) of the currently effective Articles of Association of the Company.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, with respect to Holder. This Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by SPAC, the Company and the other parties charged with such change, amendment, modification or waiver, it being acknowledged and agreed that the Company’s execution of such an instrument will not be required after any valid termination of the Merger Agreement. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision
(b) Assignment; Binding Effect. No party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder, other than in conjunction with Transfers expressly permitted by Section 2 (and subject to the terms thereof), without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 5(b) shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Agreement shall be binding on Holder, SPAC and the Company and their respective successors, heirs and permitted assigns or transferees.
(c) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any Person other than the parties hereto any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof. All covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors, heirs, personal representatives and permitted assigns or transferees.
