For a period of six years from the Closing Date, PubCo shall maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of SPAC’s Governing Documents or its indemnification agreements as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, and PubCo shall not, nor shall cause SPAC to amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any SPAC D&O Indemnified Party; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any Legal Proceedings pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Legal Proceeding or resolution of such claim.

(b) Prior to the Closing, PubCo shall purchase and pay a “tail” or “runoff” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “SPAC D&O Tail”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing covering each such Person prior to the Closing that is or was a director or officer of SPAC on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts that are satisfactory to the existing directors and officers of SPAC. PubCo shall maintain SPAC D&O Tail in full force and effect for its full term (provided, that, if any claim is asserted or made within such six year period, SPAC D&O Tail shall be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof) and shall honor all obligations thereunder, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for such insurance pursuant to this Section 8.12(b).

(c) The rights of each SPAC D&O Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such person may have under SPAC Governing Documents, any other indemnification arrangement, any Legal Requirement or otherwise.

If the SEC or

any other Governmental Entity requests or requires that an opinion be provided on or prior to the Closing in respect of the Tax consequences of or related to the Transactions, a customary opinion regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations of such transactions will be included in the Proxy/Registration Statement as may be required to satisfy applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC.

(b) Each of PubCo, SPAC, the Surviving CBL Company and the Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another party, in connection with the filing of relevant Tax Returns, the Tax treatment of any aspect of the Transactions or any audit or other Legal Proceeding pertaining to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision (with the right to make copies) of records and information reasonably relevant to any GRA, Tax proceeding or audit, making employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder (to the extent such information or explanation is not publicly or otherwise reasonably available).

(c) PubCo acknowledges that any direct or indirect holder of PubCo Ordinary Shares who is a “five-percent transferee shareholder” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(5)(ii)) of PubCo following the Transactions (a “PubCo 5% Shareholder”) may enter into (and cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service) a GRA. Upon the written request of any PubCo 5% Shareholder made following the Closing Date, PubCo shall (i) furnish to such PubCo 5% Shareholder such information as such PubCo 5% Shareholder reasonably requests in connection with such PubCo 5% Shareholder’s preparation of a GRA and any necessary Tax forms with respect thereto during the period in which such GRA is in place under Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8, and (ii) provide such PubCo 5% Shareholder with the information reasonably requested by such PubCo 5% Shareholder for purposes of such PubCo 5% Shareholder’s tax compliance during the period in which such GRA is in place under Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8, including for purposes of determining whether there has been a gain “triggering event” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8) under the terms of such PubCo 5% Shareholder’s GRA, in each case, at the sole cost and expense of such PubCo 5% Shareholder. Each of the parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, operate in a manner so as not to cause such a triggering event.

(d) Within 120 days after the end of PubCo’s current taxable year and each subsequent taxable year of PubCo for which PubCo reasonably believes that it may be a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code (“PFIC”), PubCo shall (1) determine its status as a PFIC, (2) determine the PFIC status of each of its Subsidiaries that at any time during such taxable year was a foreign corporation within the meaning of Section 7701(a) of the Code (the “Non-U.S. Subsidiaries”), and (3) make such PFIC status determinations available to the shareholders of PubCo. If PubCo determines that it was, or could reasonably be deemed to have been, a PFIC in such taxable year, PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the statements and information (including without limitation, a PFIC Annual Information Statement meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-1(g)) necessary to enable PubCo shareholders and their direct and/or indirect owners that are United States persons (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) to comply with all provisions of the Code with respect to PFICs, including but not limited to making and complying with the requirements of a “Qualified Electing Fund” election pursuant to Section 1295 of the Code or filing a “protective statement” pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-3 with respect to PubCo or any of the Non-U.S. Subsidiaries, as applicable. The covenants contained in this 8.13(d), notwithstanding any provision elsewhere in this Agreement, shall survive in full force and effect until the later of (x) five years after the end of PubCo’s current taxable year, or (y) such time as PubCo has reasonably determined that it is not a PFIC for three (3) consecutive taxable years.

(e) All Transfer Taxes shall be borne and paid by PubCo or its wholly-owned Subsidiaries (including the Company following the Closing) and shall constitute Transaction Expenses. Unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements, PubCo or its wholly-owned Subsidiaries (including the Company following the Closing), as applicable, shall timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and each Company Party and SPAC shall reasonably cooperate with respect thereto as necessary). The Company, PubCo, and SPAC shall reasonably cooperate to reduce or eliminate the amount of any such Transfer Taxes.

8.14 PIPE Investments. During the Interim Period, (i) the Company shall use its best efforts to (A) identify and seek additional sources of financing on behalf of PubCo and/or the Company from third party financing sources (it being understood and agreed that the consummation of any such financing shall be subject to the Company’s and SPAC’s mutual agreement (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), including in the form of a private placement of PubCo Ordinary Shares to be consummated at the Closing (a “PIPE Investment”), and (B) negotiate definitive agreements on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company and SPAC as necessary to effectuate the PIPE Investments, including, subscription agreements to purchase PubCo Ordinary Shares; and (ii) upon the written request of a Party, the other Parties shall, and each of them shall cause its respective Representatives to, reasonably cooperate in procuring the PIPE Investments, including by (A) providing such information and assistance (with respect to the Company, in accordance with Section 7.4(c)) as reasonably requested by a Party, (B) with respect to the Company, granting access in accordance with Section 7.4(c) to the other Parties and their Representatives during normal business hours as may be reasonably necessary for due diligence purposes, and (C) participating in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows, drafting sessions and due diligence sessions where necessary (including, as applicable, where necessary, direct contact between senior management and other Representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries at reasonable times and locations).

12.17 Disclosure Letter and Exhibits. The Company Disclosure Letter and SPAC Disclosure Letter shall each be arranged in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement, and the information disclosed in any numbered or lettered part shall be deemed to relate to and to qualify only the particular representation or warranty set forth in the corresponding numbered or lettered Section or subsection of this Agreement, except to the extent that: (a) such information is cross-referenced in another part of the Company Disclosure Letter or SPAC Disclosure Letter, as applicable; or (b) it is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure (without reference to any document referred to therein or any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed) that such information qualifies another representation and warranty of a Company Party, on the one hand, or SPAC, on the other hand, as applicable, in this Agreement. Certain information set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter and SPAC Disclosure Letter is or may be included solely for informational purposes and not an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, is not an admission of any breach or violation of any Contract or applicable, is not an admission of liability with respect to the matters covered by the information, and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Company Disclosure Letter or SPAC Disclosure Letter is not intended to imply that such amounts (or higher or lower amounts) are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any such item in the Company Disclosure Letter or SPAC Disclosure Letter in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item, or matter not described herein or included in the Company Disclosure Letter or SPAC Disclosure Letter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Under no circumstances shall the disclosure of any matter in the Company Disclosure Letter or SPAC Disclosure Letter, where a representation or warranty is limited or qualified by the materiality of the matters to which the representation or warranty is given or by Company Material Adverse Effect or SPAC Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, imply that any other undisclosed matter having a greater value or other significance is material or would have a Company Material Adverse Effect or a SPAC Material Adverse Effect, as applicable. No Party shall be prejudiced in any manner whatsoever, and no presumptions shall be created, solely due to the disclosure of any matter in the Company Disclosure Letter or SPAC Disclosure Letter which otherwise is not required to be disclosed by this Agreement.
