Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Business Combination Agreement
On September 11, 2026, ChampionsGate Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman
Islands exempted company (the “Company” or “ChampionsGate”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Futuremain Co., Ltd., a Korean company (“Futuremain”),
and such other persons as are contemplated to later join the Business Combination Agreement as “Pubco,” “Holdco,”
“Merger Sub I” and “Merger Sub II.” ChampionsGate, Futuremain, Pubco, Holdco, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II are
sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms
used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Business Combination Agreement.
The Business Combination
Prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), Futuremain will cause Holdco to be incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands
and will implement a restructuring pursuant to which Futuremain will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco. ChampionsGate
will cause Pubco, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II to be incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and each such entity and Holdco
will join the Business Combination Agreement.
At the Closing, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Holdco, with
Holdco continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Initial Merger”). In the Initial
Merger, each issued and outstanding Holdco share, other than treasury shares and dissenting shares, will be cancelled in exchange for
the right to receive newly issued ordinary shares of Pubco (the “Pubco Shares”) based on the Holdco Exchange Ratio. The aggregate
consideration payable to the Holdco shareholders at the Closing is $80,000,000, payable in Pubco Shares having a deemed value of $10.00
per share (the “Closing Consideration”).
Following the Initial Merger, Merger Sub II will merge with and into
ChampionsGate, with ChampionsGate continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “SPAC Merger”
and, together with the Initial Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business
Combination”). Immediately prior to the SPAC Merger, each outstanding ChampionsGate unit will separate into one Class A ordinary
share and one right. At the effective time of the SPAC Merger, (i) each outstanding ChampionsGate ordinary share, including each ordinary
share issued upon conversion of the rights as described below, will be cancelled in exchange for one Pubco Share and (ii) every eight
outstanding ChampionsGate rights will automatically convert into one ChampionsGate Class A ordinary share. No fractional Pubco Shares
will be issued, and any fractional share otherwise issuable will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
Equity Incentive Plan
Prior to the Closing, Pubco will adopt an equity incentive plan reflecting
a pool of not less than 15% of the fully diluted capitalization of Pubco immediately following the Closing. Awards under the plan are
contemplated to be granted following the Closing to eligible members of Futuremain’s management and staff, subject to the terms
of the plan and applicable vesting terms.
Board of Directors and Officers of Pubco
Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, immediately following
the Closing, the board of directors of Pubco will consist of five directors, three of whom will be designated by the Sponsor and reasonably
acceptable to Holdco, and the remaining directors will be designated by Holdco. The officers of Holdco at the Closing will serve as the
officers of Pubco following the Closing until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation
or removal.
1

The obligations of the Parties to consummate the Business Combination
are subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others: (i) the absence of any applicable law or order prohibiting the Closing

obtain required consents; (vi) restrictions on soliciting or participating in discussions concerning alternative transactions, subject
to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement; (vii) preservation of directors’ and officers’ indemnification rights

The Business Combination Agreement also contains customary representations
and warranties of ChampionsGate and the other Pubco Parties relating to, among other matters, organization and authority; governmental
approvals and non-contravention; capitalization and issuance of shares; SEC filings and financial statements; the trust account; Nasdaq
listing and reporting-company status; litigation; compliance with laws, anti-money laundering requirements and sanctions laws; tax matters;
Investment Company Act status; and brokers’ and finders’ fees.
Termination
The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated before the Closing
under certain circumstances, including: (i) by mutual written consent of Futuremain and ChampionsGate; (ii) by either Futuremain or ChampionsGate
following an uncured breach by the other party that causes the applicable closing conditions not to be satisfied, subject to the cure
periods and other limitations set forth in the Business Combination Agreement; (iii) by Futuremain if the Parties are unable to agree
on an alternative structure or other mutually acceptable arrangements following a determination that Futuremain’s shareholders may
not qualify for the intended tax deferral treatment; (iv) by either Futuremain or ChampionsGate if the Business Combination has not been
consummated on or before December 31, 2027, subject to extension by written agreement and specified limitations; (v) by either Futuremain
or ChampionsGate if a final, non-appealable order prohibiting the Business Combination is in effect; or (vi) if the applicable transaction
proposals fail to receive the required approval of ChampionsGate’s shareholders.
The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and
the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
the Business Combination Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Additional Information About the Proposed Transaction and Where

The proposed Business Combination will be submitted to the shareholders

shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the Registration Statement, the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus
and other documents filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed Business Combination because these documents will contain important
information about ChampionsGate, Futuremain, Pubco and the proposed Business Combination. Investors and security holders may obtain free
copies of these documents, when available, through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.
Participants in Solicitation
ChampionsGate, Futuremain, Pubco and their respective directors and
executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from ChampionsGate’s shareholders in connection
with the proposed Business Combination. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation,
and a description of their direct and indirect interests, will be set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus when it becomes available.
Information regarding ChampionsGate’s directors and executive officers is contained in ChampionsGate’s filings with the SEC.
Shareholders, potential investors and other interested persons should read the Proxy Statement/Prospectus carefully when it becomes available
before making any voting or investment decision.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
AND BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND
BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of August ______, 2026 (the “Signing
Date”), by and among ChampionsGate Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the
“Purchaser”), Futuremain Co., Ltd., a Korean Company (the “Company”), as well as such other
persons who are contemplated to later join this Agreement as the “Pubco”, “Holdco”, “Merger Sub
I” and “Merger Sub II” herein. The Purchaser, Company, Pubco, Holdco, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II are sometimes
referred to herein individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties.”
RECITALS:
A. The
Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Company Group”) are a global engineering and IT company specializing in safety diagnostics
of machinery operating in factories, that is headquartered in Suwon-si, Republic of Korea. The Company Group’s main offerings include
machinery diagnostics, vibration analysis, noise assessment, and structural analysis (the “Business”).
B. Holdco
is to be an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Upon completion of the Restructuring, Holdco shall indirectly own all
issued and outstanding equity interests in the Company through a wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in the Republic of Korea (the “Korean
Intermediate Holdco”), which shall hold one hundred percent (100%) of the shares of the Company.
C. Purchaser
is a blank check company formed for the sole purpose of entering into a share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization,
reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.
D. Pubco is to be an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands.
E. Merger
Sub I is to be a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco for the purpose of consummating the
Initial Merger (as defined below).
F. The
Parties desire to merge Merger Sub I with and into Holdco with Holdco continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Initial Merger”),
so that following the Initial Merger, (i) Holdco becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the Holdco is hereinafter referred to for
the periods from and after the Initial Merger Effective Time (as defined below) as the “Initial Merger Surviving Corporation”),
(ii) the securityholders of Holdco receive securities in Pubco (the “Pubco Securities”) in exchange for their securities
in Holdco (the “Holdco Securities”), and (iii) Holdco will, by operation of law, succeed to all of the contracts, acquire
all of the assets and assume all of the liabilities of Merger Sub I.
G. Merger
Sub II is to be a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco for the purpose of consummating the
SPAC Merger (as defined below).
1
H. Following
confirmation of the effective filing of the Initial Merger, the Parties desire to merge Merger Sub II with and into Purchaser with Purchaser
continuing as the surviving corporation (the “SPAC Merger”, collectively with the Initial Merger, the “Mergers”),
so that following the SPAC Merger, (i) Purchaser becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the Purchaser is hereinafter referred to
for the periods from and after the SPAC Merger Effective Time (as defined below) as the “SPAC Merger Surviving Corporation”),
(ii) the securityholders of Purchaser receive Pubco Securities in exchange for their shares in the Purchaser (the “Purchaser Securities”),
and (iii) Purchaser will, by operation of law, accede to all of the contracts, acquire all of the assets and assume all of the liabilities
of Merger Sub II.
I. For
U.S. federal income tax purposes, (a) it is intended that (i) for purposes of applying Section 351 of the Code to the Transactions, the
existence of Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II will be disregarded as transitory entities formed to effect the acquisition by Pubco of all
of the Purchaser Securities and Holdco Securities, (ii) taken together, the exchange of the Holdco Securities for the Pubco Securities
and the conversion of shares of Merger Sub I to shares of Holdco pursuant to the Initial Merger and the exchange of the Purchaser Securities
for the Pubco Securities and the conversion of shares of Merger Sub II to shares of Purchaser pursuant to the SPAC Merger will qualify
as a tax-deferred exchange under Section 351(a) of the Code ((i) and (ii), together, the “Section 351 Qualification”), (b)
it is intended that the Initial Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, (c) this Agreement
is intended to constitute and hereby is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” with respect to the Mergers within the meaning
of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations

(iii) Holdco
Dissenting Shares. Each of the Holdco Dissenting Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time

(b) Effect
of SPAC Merger. From and after the SPAC Merger Effective Time, the effect of the SPAC Merger shall be as provided in accordance
with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, the Plan of SPAC Merger and the Cayman Companies Act. Without limiting the

has not theretofore been terminated pursuant to its terms, Merger Sub II and Purchaser shall cause the Plan of SPAC Merger, together with
such other documents as may be required in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Act or by any other applicable
Law to make the SPAC Merger effective (collectively, the “SPAC Merger Filing Documents”), to be executed and duly submitted
for filing with the Cayman Islands Registrar in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Act. The SPAC Merger
shall become effective at such time as the Plan of SPAC Merger is duly registered by the Cayman Islands Registrar, or at such later time
as Merger Sub II and the Purchaser mutually agree in writing with the written consent of Holdco (subject to the requirements of the Cayman
Companies Act) and as set forth in the Plan of SPAC Merger (such date and time as the SPAC Merger becomes effective, the “SPAC

Share, each Purchaser Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time (including each
Purchaser Share converted from Purchaser Rights pursuant to Section 2.2(f)(iv)) shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist
in exchange for the right to receive one newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Pubco Share without interest. As of the SPAC
Merger Effective Time, each Purchaser security holder shall cease to have any other rights in and to such Purchaser Shares.

SPAC Merger Effective Time, shall cease and the Organizational Documents of Merger Sub II shall be the Organizational Documents of the
Purchaser and thereafter amended in accordance with their terms and as provided by Law.
(h) Transfers
of Ownership. If any certificate for securities of Pubco to be issued is in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered
in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly
endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting
such exchange will have paid to Pubco or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of
a certificate for securities of Pubco in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established
to the satisfaction of Pubco or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

such distribution) shall instead have the number of Pubco Ordinary Shares issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest
whole Pubco Ordinary Share.
15

that the Pubco may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or
destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against
the Pubco with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
(m) Taking

fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action,

2.3
Closing.
(a) In
accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Initial Merger and the SPAC Merger and the
other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur or become effective in connection therewith (including all Transactions contemplated
to occur or become effective at the Closing, the “Closing”) shall take place remotely by conference call and exchange
of documents and signatures on the date which is within three (3) Business Days after the first date on which all conditions set forth
in Article VIII shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing,
but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof) or at such other time and place or in such other manner as shall be agreed upon by
Purchaser and the Company in writing. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing
Date”.
(b) At
the Closing or such later time as may be agreed by the Company and the Purchaser in writing, the Pubco shall pay or cause to be paid by
wire transfer of immediately available funds all accrued and unpaid Company Transaction Expenses as set forth in a written certificate
delivered by the Company (the “Company Transaction Expenses Certificate”), which shall be provided as soon as reasonably
practicable but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained
herein shall affect any invoices to the Company to be paid for any Company Transaction Expenses incurred in good faith after the delivery
of the Company Transaction Expenses Certificate.
16
(c)
At the Closing or such later time as may be agreed by the Company and the Purchaser in writing, the Pubco shall pay or cause to be
paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds all accrued and unpaid Purchaser Transaction Expenses as set forth in a written
certificate delivered by the Purchaser (the “Purchaser Transaction Expenses Certificate”), which shall (i) be

set forth: (A) the aggregate amount of cash proceeds that will be required to satisfy the exercise of the Purchaser Shares
Redemption; (B) a written report setting forth a list of all of the Purchaser Transaction Expenses (together with written invoices

remain unpaid as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date; and (C) the aggregate amount
of all loans made by the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates to Purchaser to be repaid on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing contained herein shall affect Purchaser’s ability to be reimbursed (and any invoices to the Purchaser to be paid) for
any Purchaser Transaction Expenses incurred in good faith after the delivery of the Purchaser Transaction Expenses Certificate.
2.4
Appraisal and Dissenter’s Rights.
(a) Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the Cayman Companies Act, Holdco Shares that are issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time and that are held by the shareholders of Holdco who have not voted
in favor of the Initial Merger and who have given a written notice of election to dissent pursuant to section 238 of the Cayman Companies
Act prior to the vote to authorize the Initial Merger and otherwise complied with all of the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act relevant
to the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights (the “Holdco Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, and
any such holder of the Holdco Dissenting Shares (the “Holdco Dissenting Shareholder”) shall have no right to receive, any
Merger Consideration Shares, and shall cease to have any of the rights as a shareholder of the Holdco (save for the right to be paid fair
value for the Holdco Dissenting Shares in accordance with section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act). For the avoidance of doubt, the fair
value of Holdco Dissenting Shares shall be determined as of the day prior to the date on which the vote of Holdco shareholders authorizing
the Initial Merger was taken, exclusive of any element of value arising from the expectation or accomplishment of the Initial Merger,
in accordance with section 238(9) of the Cayman Companies Act. Within twenty (20) days immediately following the date on which the Initial
Merger is authorized by Holdco shareholders, the Surviving Corporation shall give written notice of the authorization to each Holdco Dissenting
Shareholder who has made a written objection to the Initial Merger. Within twenty (20) days of receiving such notice, each Holdco Dissenting
Shareholder may give the Surviving Corporation a written notice of his, her or its election to dissent, stating the number and class of
Holdco Dissenting Shares for which payment is demanded and a demand for payment of the fair value of his, her or its Holdco Dissenting
Shares. Any Holdco Shareholder who prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time fails to perfect or validly withdraws a notice of election
to dissent or otherwise loses his, her or its rights to payment for their Holdco Dissenting Shares pursuant to section 238 of the Cayman
Companies Act shall be treated in the same manner as a Holdco Shareholder who did not give a notice of election to dissent pursuant to
section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act, and such shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into the right to receive Merger
Consideration Shares as of the Initial Merger Effective Time.
(b)
Prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, Holdco shall give Purchaser (i) prompt notice of any notices of election to dissent
pursuant to section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act received by Holdco and any withdrawals of such notices, and (ii) the opportunity
to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to the exercise of dissent rights pursuant to section 238 of the
Cayman Companies Act. Subject to the requirements of the Cayman Companies Act, Holdco shall not, except with the prior written
consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any payment with respect to
any Holdco Dissenting Shares or offer to settle or settle any demand made pursuant to Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act.
17
(c)
The Surviving Corporation shall, within seven (7) days immediately following the expiration of the period within which Holdco
Dissenting Shareholders may give their notices of election to dissent, make a written offer to each Holdco Dissenting Shareholder to
purchase his, her or its Holdco Dissenting Shares at a specified price that the Surviving Corporation determines to be the fair
value thereof. If, within thirty (30) days immediately following the date on which such offer is made, the Surviving Corporation and
the Holdco Dissenting Shareholder fail to agree on the price to be paid for the Holdco Dissenting Shares, the Surviving Corporation
(or such Holdco Dissenting Shareholder) may, within twenty (20) days immediately following the expiration of such thirty (30) day
period, apply to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands to determine the fair value of the Holdco Dissenting Shares. The costs of
such proceeding shall be determined by the Grand Court and shall be assessed against the parties as the Grand Court deems equitable
in the circumstances.
(d) With
respect to the SPAC Merger, to the extent that any holder of Purchaser Securities is entitled to exercise dissent rights under section
238 of the Cayman Companies Act, the provisions of this Section 2.4 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the SPAC Merger, and references to
Holdco, Holdco Shares, Holdco Dissenting Shares, Holdco Dissenting Shareholder, the Initial Merger, and the Surviving Corporation shall
be read as references to Purchaser, Purchaser Securities, the corresponding dissenting securities, the dissenting holders thereof, the
SPAC Merger, and the SPAC Merger Surviving Corporation, respectively. Any Purchaser Securities in respect of which dissent rights have
been properly exercised and perfected under section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act shall not be converted into Pubco Shares and shall
only entitle the holder thereof to receive the fair value of such securities determined in accordance with section 238 of the Cayman Companies
Act.
2.5
Directors and Officers of the Pubco.
(a) Unless
otherwise agreed by the parties hereto in writing, immediately after the Closing, the Pubco’s board of directors shall consist of
5 directors, 3 of which shall be designated by the Sponsor who is reasonably acceptable to the Holdco, and the remaining directors shall
be designated by the Holdco.
(b) The
parties hereto shall take all necessary actions so that the officers of the Holdco at the Closing shall, from and after the Closing, be
the officers of Pubco until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation
or removal in accordance with the Pubco Organizational Documents.
2.6 Adjustments.
Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any relevant time, any change in the outstanding securities of the
Holdco, the Purchaser or the Pubco shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of the Holdco, Purchaser or Pubco as
permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, share split (including a reverse share
split), or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares, or similar transaction, or any share dividend or distribution paid in
shares, the Merger Consideration Shares, the Pubco Shares issued to the holders of Purchaser Securities, and any other amounts
payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that this
sentence shall not be construed to permit Purchaser, Pubco or the Holdco to take any action with respect to its securities that is
prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Pubco Parties, on the other hand, shall, and such Persons shall cause each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, managers,
consultants, employees, representatives (including investment bankers, attorneys and accountants) and agents not to, directly or indirectly,
(i) encourage, solicit, initiate, engage or participate in negotiations with any Person concerning, or make any offers or proposals related

share exchange, business combination, amalgamation, recapitalization, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution or other similar transaction,
or (2) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of a material portion of the assets of such Person (other than the sale,
the lease, transfer or other disposition of assets in the ordinary course of business) or any class or series of the share capital or

event that there is an unsolicited proposal for, or an indication of a serious interest in entering into, an Alternative Transaction,
communicated in writing to the Company or the Pubco Parties or any of their respective representatives or agents (each, an “Alternative
Proposal”), such party shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after receipt) advise
the other parties to this Agreement in writing of such Alternative Proposal and the material terms and conditions of any such Alternative
Proposal (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the Person making any such Alternative Proposal. The Company and the Pubco
Parties shall keep the other parties informed on a reasonably current basis of material developments with respect to any such Alternative
Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary as set forth above, if the board of directors of the Company or of the Pubco Parties
(as applicable) has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and/or outside legal counsel, that failure
to take such action would constitute a breach of its directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the other Party may waive
any such provision to the extent necessary to permit such Person to comply with applicable Laws, provided, however, that prior
to taking such action or announcing the intention to do so, such Person has complied in all material respects with its written notification
obligation in respect of the Alternative Transaction in accordance with this Section.

representatives such information relating to the business of the Company, the Holdco, the Purchaser, or the Pubco as such Persons
may request and (c) cause its respective employees, legal counsel, accountants and representatives to cooperate with the other Party
in such other Party’s investigation of its business; provided, however, that no investigation pursuant to this Section
(or any investigation prior to the date hereof) shall affect any representation or warranty given by the Company, the Holdco, or the
Pubco Parties and, provided further, that any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall be conducted in such
manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company, the Holdco, the Purchaser, or the Pubco.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no party shall be required to provide the access described above or
disclose any information if doing so is reasonably likely to (i) result in a waiver of attorney client privilege, work product
doctrine or similar privilege, (ii) violate any contract to which it is a party or to which it is subject or applicable Law, or
(iii) involve the provision of technical information relating to technology that constitutes the Company’s core technology or trade
secrets, provided, however, that the non-disclosing Party must advise the other parties that it is withholding such access
and/or information and (to the extent reasonably practicable) provide a description of the access not granted and/or information not
disclosed.

SEC Filings.
(a)
The Parties acknowledge that:

(ii) the
Purchaser will be required to file Quarterly and Annual reports that may be required to contain information about the Transactions; and

its respective management, operations and financial condition. Accordingly, the Company and the Holdco each agrees to as promptly as reasonably
practicable provide the Purchaser with such information as shall be required by the SEC and federal securities Laws to be included in
any such filing with the SEC, as determined in the reasonable discretion of Purchaser, in consultation with its legal counsel, for inclusion
in or attachment to the Proxy Statement, that is accurate in all material respects and complies as to form in all material respects with
the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and in addition shall
contain substantially the same financial and other information about the Company, the Holdco, and their respective shareholders as is
required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies. The Company and the Holdco each understands
that such information shall be included in the Proxy Statement and/or responses to comments from the SEC or its staff in connection therewith
and mailings. The Company and the Holdco shall each cause its managers, directors, officers and employees to be reasonably available to
the Purchaser and its counsel in connection with the drafting of such filings and mailings and responding in a timely manner to comments
from the SEC. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by the Company and the Holdco expressly for inclusion or incorporation
by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the date of filing and/or mailing, as the case may be, contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading (subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth in the materials
provided by the Company and the Holdco). If, at any time prior to the Closing, any event or circumstance relating to the Company, the
Holdco, or any Subsidiary thereof, or their respective officers or directors, should be discovered by the Company or the Holdco, which
should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the proxy statement, the Company or the Holdco, as the case may be, shall promptly
inform the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall be permitted to make all necessary filings with respect to the Transactions under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act and applicable blue sky Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, shall provide the Company and the Holdco
with a reasonable opportunity to comment on drafts of any such filings and shall consider such comments in good faith, and the Company
and the Holdco shall reasonably cooperate in connection therewith. The Purchaser will be permitted to make such filings or responses to
the SEC that, based on the advice of outside counsel to Purchaser, is required by the SEC and the United States securities Laws to be
included therein.

guidance or other requirement of the SEC, to be included in the Proxy Statement or the Closing Form 8-K (including pro forma
financial information and pro forma adjustments that comply with Regulation S-X under the rules and regulations of the SEC (as
interpreted by the staff of the SEC)), as promptly as practicable following the end of each quarterly period ending after the
Signing Date (and in any event no later than 60 calendar days following the end of such quarterly period) (the “Proxy

adjustments for the Company Group necessary to prepare the pro forma financial statements in compliance with the requirements of
Regulation S-X under the rules and regulations of the SEC (as interpreted by the staff of the SEC) (such pro forma financial

Financials”) and cooperate as reasonably requested by the Pubco Parties in the preparation thereof, (ii) all selected
financial data of the Company Group as necessary for inclusion in the Proxy Statement; and (iii) management’s discussion and

promptly as practicable after the date hereof, a description of the business and any other information concerning the Company, its
directors, officers, operations and such other matters, as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the
preparation of the Proxy Statement. The Required Financials will fairly present in all material respects, in conformity with U.S.

order of priority: (a) all amounts payable to shareholders of Pubco holding Pubco Shares who shall have validly redeemed their Pubco Shares
upon acceptance by Pubco of such Pubco Shares, (b) the documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Pubco Parties and the Company, incurred
in each case in good faith and on an arm’s length basis in connection with identifying, investigating, negotiating, and consummating
the Transactions, to the third parties to which they are owed, (c) the Deferred Underwriting Amount to the underwriter in the IPO, (d)

coverage for up to a six-year period from the Closing Date, for the benefit of the D&O Indemnified Persons (the “D&O
Tail Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than Purchaser’s
existing policy or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage. Pubco shall cause such
D&O Tail Insurance to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term.
(c) On
the Closing Date, Pubco shall enter into Deeds of Indemnity Access and Insurance with its post-Closing directors and executive officers,

to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made not materially misleading.
(b) Each

promulgated by the SEC and to clear any SEC comments on the F-4 as promptly as practicable after such filing. Each of the Pubco Parties
and the Company shall furnish all information concerning it as may reasonably be requested by the other Party in connection with such
actions and the preparation of the F-4. Promptly after all comments on the F-4 are cleared with the SEC, the Pubco Parties will cause
the F-4 to be declared effective and the Proxy Statement to be mailed to shareholders of Purchaser.
56
(c) Each
of the Pubco Parties and the Company Group shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), any response to comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the F-4. Notwithstanding such cooperation however, the Pubco
Parties will be permitted, upon providing notice to the Company, to make such filings or responses to the SEC that, based on the advice

the other Parties and (ii) the Pubco Parties, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall cooperate and mutually agree
upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) an amendment or supplement to the F-4. The Pubco Parties and the Company

determined to have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. The Pubco Parties
shall cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to Purchaser’s shareholders, in each case as and to the extent required by
applicable Laws and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Purchaser’s Organizational Documents.
7.4 Confidentiality.
Except as necessary to complete the Proxy Statement, each Party shall be bound by and comply with the provisions set forth in the Confidentiality

the Company’s prior written approval. Purchaser, Pubco and Sponsor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors,
officers and shareholders from and against any unauthorized disclosure or any disclosure resulting from information supplied by Purchaser,
Pubco, Sponsor or their respective representatives.
7.5 Additional
Financing; Minimizing Redemptions. The Company, the Purchaser, and the Pubco will use their commercially reasonable efforts to maximize
the amount in the Trust Fund just prior to Closing, and to consider various appropriate financing vehicles to assist in the Pubco’s
development following Closing. If the Pubco Parties reasonably believe that the amount in the Trust Fund at Closing is likely to be insufficient
to pay all expenses of the Parties, the Company and the Pubco Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to secure additional
investment capital for the Pubco prior to Closing.

10.2 Amendments;
No Waivers; Remedies. This Agreement cannot be amended, except by a writing signed by each of Pubco and the Company, and cannot be
terminated orally or by course of conduct. No provision hereof can be waived, except by a writing signed by the Party against whom such
waiver is to be enforced, and any such waiver shall apply only in the particular instance in which such waiver shall have been given.
(a) Neither
any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any course of
dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any Party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any condition.
No notice to or demand on a Party waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that Party or impairs any right of the Party giving such
notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required by this Agreement.
No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise of any other right or remedy, as
appropriate to make the aggrieved Party whole with respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise of any right or remedy with respect
to any other breach.
(b) Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, no statement herein of any right or remedy shall impair any other right or remedy stated herein
or that otherwise may be available.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything else contained herein, neither shall any Party seek, nor shall any Party be liable for, punitive or exemplary damages, under
any tort, contract, equity, or other legal theory, with respect to any breach (or alleged breach) of this Agreement or any provision hereof
or any matter otherwise relating hereto or arising in connection herewith.
10.3 Remedies.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of
any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude
the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be
an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this
Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Transactions) in accordance with
their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction
or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the
terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being
in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the
granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for
any reason at law or equity.
10.4 Arm’s
Length Bargaining; No Presumption Against Drafter. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s-length by parties of equal
bargaining strength, each represented by counsel or having had but declined the opportunity to be represented by counsel and having
participated in the drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the
parties, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any Party in the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Agreement or
such provision.
63
10.5 Publicity.
Except as required by law and except with respect to the Pubco SEC Documents, the parties agree that neither they nor their agents shall
issue any press release or make any other public disclosure concerning the Transactions without the prior approval of the other Party
hereto. If a Party is required to make such a disclosure as required by law, the parties will use their reasonable best efforts to cause
a mutually agreeable release or public disclosure to be issued; provided, each of the Company and the Pubco is permitted to make any public
statement to the extent such proposed public statement is substantially equivalent to the information previously made public without breach
of the obligation under this Section 10.5 or is required to comply with federal securities Laws or the requirements of Nasdaq.
10.6 Expenses.
Each Party hereto shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, including all fees of
its legal counsel, financial advisers and accountants; provided, however, that upon the consummation of the Closing, that if the Closing
occurs, Pubco shall reimburse each Party for its reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this
Agreement and the Transactions, following the delivery of documentation reasonably satisfactory to Pubco evidencing such costs and expenses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Closing does not occur, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses, and no Party shall have
any liability for the costs and expenses of any other Party.
10.7 No
Assignment or Delegation. No Party may assign any right or delegate any obligation hereunder, including by merger, consolidation,
operation of law, or otherwise, without the written consent of the other Party. Any purported assignment or delegation without such consent
shall be void, in addition to constituting a material breach of this Agreement.
10.8 Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect
to the conflict of laws principles thereof; provided, however, that the laws of the Cayman Islands shall govern (a) the procedural aspects
of the Mergers (including the Plan of Initial Merger, the Plan of SPAC Merger, and all filings required in connection therewith), (b)
the internal corporate affairs of each of the Pubco, Holdco, Purchaser, Merger Sub I, and Merger Sub II, including the fiduciary duties
of directors and officers thereof, (c) the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights under section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act
and the determination of fair value thereunder, and (d) any matter that is required by the Cayman Companies Act to be governed by the
laws of the Cayman Islands.
10.9 Waiver
of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
PROCEEDING (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR
INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED HERETO OR THERETO OR ANY FINANCING IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE.
THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE
PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE
PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS
WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.9.
64

the State of New York sitting in New York, New York (or any appellate courts thereof), for the purposes of any Action (a) arising under
this Agreement or under any Additional Agreement or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties
in respect of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement or any of the Transactions or thereby, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives
any objection to the laying of venue of any such Action in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees
not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Party hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action (i) arising
under this Agreement or under any Additional Agreement or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the
Parties in respect of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement or any of the Transactions or thereby, (A) any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 10.10 for any reason, (B) that it or its property is exempt
or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any Action commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment
prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (x) the Action in any
such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such Action is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter
hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each Party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered
mail to such Party’s respective address set forth in Section 10.1 shall be effective service of process for any such Action.
10.11 Counterparts;
Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which
shall constitute one agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon delivery to each Party of an executed counterpart or the earlier

bear the signatures of all other parties.
10.12 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement together with the Additional Agreements, including any exhibits and schedules attached hereto or
thereto, sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all
prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements related thereto (whether written or oral), all of which are merged herein.
No provision of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement, including any exhibits and schedules attached hereto or thereto, may be
explained or qualified by any agreement, negotiations, understanding, discussion, conduct or course of conduct or by any trade
usage. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein or any Additional Agreement, there is no condition precedent to the effectiveness
of any provision hereof or thereof. No Party has relied on any representation from, or warranty or agreement of, any Person in
entering into this Agreement, prior hereto or contemporaneous herewith or any Additional Agreement, except those expressly stated
herein or therein.
10.13 Severability.
A determination by a court or other legal authority that any provision that is not of the essence of this Agreement is legally invalid
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to substitute
(or cause such court or other legal authority to substitute) for any provision so held to be invalid a valid provision, as alike in substance
to such invalid provision as is lawful.
65
10.14
Construction of Certain Terms and References; Captions. In this Agreement:
(a) References
to particular sections and subsections, schedules, and exhibits not otherwise specified are cross-references to sections and subsections,
schedules, and exhibits of this Agreement.
(b) The
words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole
and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and, unless the context requires otherwise, “Party” means a party signatory
hereto.
(c) Any
use of the singular or plural, or the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, includes the others, unless the context otherwise requires;
“including” means “including without limitation;” “or” means “and/or;” “any”
means “any one, more than one, or all;” and, unless otherwise specified, any financial or accounting term has the meaning
of the term under United States generally accepted accounting principles as consistently applied heretofore by the Company.
(d) Unless
otherwise specified, any reference to any agreement (including this Agreement), instrument, or other document includes all schedules,
exhibits, or other attachments referred to therein, and any reference to a statute or other law includes any rule, regulation, ordinance,
or the like promulgated thereunder, in each case, as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time. Any reference

to the economic interests of the Party to whom the obligation is owed, although the interests of such party must predominate, and (b)
the Person under such obligation need not take such measures as to cause itself to experience a Material Adverse Effect, recognizing that
the use of best efforts may require an expenditure of a material unanticipated amount of money or management time.

of such Party’s obligations hereunder, necessary to effectuate the Transactions.
10.16 Third
Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof confers any benefit or right upon or may be enforced by any Person

only for the purposes set forth in the Investment Management Trust Agreement. For and in consideration of Purchaser agreeing to enter
into this Agreement, the Company and the Holdco each hereby agree that he, she or it does not have any right, title, interest or claim
of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and hereby agrees that he, she or it will not seek recourse against the Trust Account
for any claim such Person may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Purchaser.

any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period commencing after the Closing.
2. With respect to the remaining fifty percent (50%) of their
Restricted Securities, until six (6) months following the Closing.
For purposes
of this Agreement, the term “Transfer” shall mean: (i) any sale, assignment, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell,
hypothecation, pledge, grant of any option to purchase, or other disposition of, directly or indirectly, any security, or the establishment
or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to, or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning
of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder; (ii) entry into any swap or other arrangement
that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether such transaction
is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash, or otherwise; or (iii) any public announcement of an intention to effect any
transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii).
(b)
The foregoing Section 1(a) shall not apply to the Transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by a Holder (i)
to such Holder’s members, officers, directors, consultants or their affiliates, (ii) if such Holder is an entity, to its
shareholders or members upon liquidation, (iii) by bona fide gift to a member such Holder’s immediate family or to a trust,
the beneficiary of which is such Holder or a member of such Holder’s immediate family, in each case for estate planning
purposes, (iv) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (v) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order,
or (ix) in the event that, subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination, Pubco completes a liquidation, merger, capital
share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of Pubco’s shareholders having the right to exchange their
Pubco Shares for cash, securities or other property, in each case (except for clauses (ix) or with Pubco’s prior written
consent).
[Signature Page to Lock-Up Agreement]
(c) If
any Transfer (except for any Transfer pursuant to Section 1(b)) is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement,
such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and Pubco shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of
the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, Pubco may impose stop-transfer
instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities of any Holder (and any permitted transferees and assigns thereof) effective until
the end of the Lock-Up Period.
(d) During
the Lock-Up Period, each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:
“THE SECURITIES
REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF ________, 2026, BY AND
AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”), THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN AND OTHER PARTIES
THERETO AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON
WRITTEN REQUEST.”
The Pubco shall take all necessary actions, including
removal of the legends and giving notice to the transfer agent, to ensure that, upon release of the lock-up, the shareholder is able to
trade the Restricted Securities without delay.
(e)
For the avoidance of any doubt, each Holder shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of Pubco with respect to the Restricted
Securities during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities, but subject to the obligations applicable
to such Holder under the Business Combination Agreement.

to the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.
(c) Third
Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions

hereto hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating
to this Agreement brought by any party hereto and (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise,
in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt
or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper,
or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each party agrees that
a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other

CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND
THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS

(h) Amendments
and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally
or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of Purchaser, the Company, Pubco
and each Holder. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or

(i) Severability.
In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be
modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable,
and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon
such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute
for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid,
legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
(j) Specific
Performance. Each Holder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event
of a breach of this Agreement by such Holder, money damages will be inadequate and Pubco will have no adequate remedy at law, and agrees
that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by such Holder in accordance
with such Holder’s specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of Purchaser, the Company and Pubco shall be entitled
to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by any Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in
addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
(k) Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly
canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties
under the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit
any of the rights or remedies of Purchaser, the Company and Pubco or any of the obligations of any Holder under any other agreement between
such Holder and Purchaser, the Company or Pubco or any certificate or instrument executed by any Holder in favor of Purchaser, the Company
or Pubco, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Purchaser, the Company
or Pubco or any of the obligations of any Holder under this Agreement.
(l) Further
Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s
reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may
be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(m) Counterparts.
This Agreement may also be executed and delivered in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
