(b)            Company
Release. Each of the Company, SPAC and their respective Subsidiaries and each of its and their successors, assigns and executors (each,
a “Company Releasor”), effective as at the First Effective Time, shall be deemed to have, and hereby does, irrevocably,
unconditionally, knowingly and voluntarily release, waive, relinquish and forever discharge such Shareholder and its respective successors,
assigns, heirs, executors, officers, directors, partners, members, managers and employees (in each case in their capacity as such) (each,
a “Company Releasee”), from (x) any and all obligations or duties such Company Releasee has prior to or as of
the First Effective Time to such Company Releasor or (y) all claims, demands, Liabilities, defenses, affirmative defenses, setoffs,
counterclaims, actions and causes of action of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which any Company Releasor has, may
have or might have or may assert now or in the future, against any Company Releasee arising out of, based upon or resulting from any Contract,
transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown, and which occurred,
existed, was taken, permitted or begun prior to the First Effective Time (except in the event of fraud on the part of a Company Releasee);
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.1(b) shall release, waive, relinquish, discharge
or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of any party (i) arising under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents or (ii) for any claim for fraud.


 


Section 5.2             Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of:


 


(a)            the
Closing, provided, however, that upon such termination, (i)  Section 4.8, this Section 5.1,
Section 5.4 and Section 5.7 shall survive indefinitely; and (ii) Section 4.10 and Section 5.3
shall survive until the date on which none of the Company, such Shareholder or any holder of a Locked-Up Share (as defined below) has
any rights or obligations hereunder; and


 


(b)           the
termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, and upon such termination, no party shall have any liability hereunder
other than for its actual fraud or willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.


 


Section 5.3             Legends.
The Company shall remove, and shall cause to be removed (including by causing its transfer agent to remove), any legends, marks, stop-transfer
instructions or other similar notations pertaining to the lock-up arrangements herein from the book-entries evidencing any Locked-Up Shares
at the time any such share is no longer subject to the Lock-Up Restrictions (any such Locked-Up Share, a “Free Share”),
and shall take all such actions (and shall cause to be taken all such actions) necessary or proper to cause the Free Shares to be consolidated
under the CUSIP(s) and/or ISIN(s) applicable to the unrestricted Company Ordinary Shares so that the Free Shares are in a like
position. Any holder of a Locked-Up Share is an express third-party beneficiary of this Section 5.3 and entitled to enforce
specifically the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 5.3 directly against the Company.


 


Section 5.4             Notice.
All general notices, demands or other communications required or permitted to be given or made hereunder shall be in writing and delivered
personally or sent by courier or sent by registered post or sent by electronic mail to the Company and SPAC in accordance with Section 10.3

Section 5.5             Entire
Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof
and the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered
into by or between the parties hereto or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the subject matter hereof or the transactions
contemplated hereby. This Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to
any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.


 


Section 5.6             Assignment.
Other than in connection with the Transfer of any Subject Shares or Locked-Up Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which
shall not be deemed to be an assignment of this Agreement or the rights or obligations hereunder, no party hereto shall assign this Agreement
or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any such transfer without prior written consent shall
be void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
permitted successors and assigns.


 


Section 5.7             Governing
Law. This Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement (whether based
on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Agreement,
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts
of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state.


 


Section 5.8             Enforcement.
The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed
in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled
to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of
this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any Action shall
be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party shall allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that
there is an adequate remedy at law, and each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection
therewith.


 


Section 5.9             Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (any of which may be delivered by electronic transmission), each of which shall
constitute an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by email to counsel for
the other parties of a counterpart executed by a party shall be deemed to meet the requirements of the previous sentence.
