This Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedule and Exhibits hereto, and the Ancillary Agreements, including the schedules and exhibits thereto, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any previous agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such matters.

Section 7.9    Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction) govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and its Exhibits and Schedules and all of the Transactions, including validity, interpretation, construction, performance and enforcement and any disputes or controversies arising therefrom or related thereto.

 

Section 7.10  Jurisdiction. In any action or proceeding between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, each of the parties knowingly, voluntarily and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the federal courts of New York County, New York and waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to venue or to convenience of forum. Any party may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 7.4.

 

Section 7.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

Section 7.12  Amendments. Subject to Article VI, 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 the Company and the holders of a majority of the Units purchased hereunder. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon each holder of any Units purchased under this Agreement at the time outstanding, each future holder of all such Units, and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such amendment or waiver would adversely and disproportionately affect any Purchaser in a manner different than the Purchaser voting in favor thereof, for a reason other than a difference in the amount or percentage of Units beneficially owned by such Purchaser, such amendment or waiver will also require the prior written approval of the holders of a majority of the Units purchased by the Purchaser(s) so adversely and disproportionately affected.

5

 

 

(c)    Revoke Other Proxies. Each Sponsor represents and warrants that any proxies heretofore given in respect of the Subject Shares that may still be in effect are not irrevocable, and such proxies have been or are hereby revoked, other than the voting and other arrangements under the Organizational Documents of Buyer and the Letter Agreement.

 

(d)    Irrevocable Proxy. Each Sponsor hereby appoints the Company and any individual designated in writing by the Company, and each of them individually, during the Voting Period (upon expiration of which this proxy shall automatically be revoked) as such Sponsor’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of such Sponsor, to vote the Subject Shares, or grant a written consent until the expiration of the Voting Period in respect of the Subject Shares in a manner consistent with Section 4.1(a).

4.2    No Transfer. Other than (x) pursuant to this Agreement, (y) upon the consent of the Company and Buyer or (z) to an Affiliate of such Sponsor (provided that such Affiliate shall enter into a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Buyer, agreeing to be bound by this Agreement to the same extent as such Sponsor was with respect to such transferred Subject Shares), from the date of this Agreement until the date of termination of this Agreement or earlier expiration of the Voting Period, each Sponsor shall not, directly or indirectly (a) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer, dispose of or agree to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder, any Subject Share, (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Subject Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b) (the actions specified in clauses (a)-(c), collectively, “Transfer”), other than pursuant to the Transactions. Any action attempted to be taken in in violation of the preceding sentence will be null and void. Except as otherwise permitted, each Sponsor agrees with, and covenants to, the Company and Buyer that such Sponsor shall not request that Buyer register the Transfer (by book-entry or otherwise) of any certificated or uncertificated interest representing any of the Subject Shares.

 

6

 

 

4.3    No Redemption. Such Sponsor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, from the date hereof and until the termination of this Agreement, such Sponsor shall not elect to cause Buyer to redeem any Subject Shares now or at any time legally or beneficially owned by such Sponsor, or submit or surrender any of its Subject Shares for redemption, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or otherwise.

 

4.4    New Shares. In the event that prior to the Closing (i) any Buyer Common Stock or other securities are issued or otherwise distributed to any Sponsor pursuant to any stock dividend or distribution, or any change in any of the Buyer Common Stock or other share capital of Buyer by reason of any stock split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or the like, (ii) any Sponsor acquires legal or beneficial ownership of any Buyer Common Stock after the date of this Agreement, including upon exercise of options, settlement of restricted share units or capitalization of working capital loans or (iii) any Sponsor acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of any Buyer Common Stock after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “New Securities”), the terms “Subject Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include such New Securities (including all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Subject Shares may be changed or exchanged into).

 

4.5     Sponsor Letter Agreement. Each of Sponsor and Buyer hereby agree to comply with, and fully perform all of its obligations, covenants and agreements set forth in the Letter Agreement; and agree that from the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement, none of them shall, or shall agree to, amend, modify or vary the Letter Agreement, except as otherwise provided for under this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or any Additional Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties thereto in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

 

4.6    Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate without any further action of the Parties, and none of the Parties shall have any rights, obligations, or liabilities hereunder other than obligations or liabilities for any willful and material breach of this Agreement or fraud by such Party occurring prior to such termination, and this Agreement shall become null and void and have no effect upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Closing (provided, however, that upon such termination, this Section 4.6, Section 4.7, Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 shall survive indefinitely), (ii) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, and (iii) as to each Sponsor, the mutual written consent of Company and such Sponsor.

 

7

 

 

4.7    Additional Matters. Each Party shall, from time to time at the other Party’s request, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional or further consents, documents and other instruments necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

4.8    No Inconsistent Agreement. Each Sponsor hereby represents and covenants that such Sponsor has not entered into, and shall not enter into, any agreement that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of such Sponsor’s obligations hereunder.

 

4.9    No Obligation as Director or Officer. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to impose any obligation or limitation on votes or actions taken by any director, officer, employee, agent or other representative of any Sponsor or by any direct or indirect shareholder of Sponsor that is a natural person, in each case, in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Buyer.

 

4.10  Waiver of Anti-Dilution Protection. Each Sponsor hereby waives, forfeits, surrenders and agrees not to exercise, assert or claim, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the ability to adjust the Initial Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Buyer Charter (as defined below)) set forth in Section 4.3(b) of Buyer’s Certificate of Incorporation dated as of October 21, 2020 (the “Buyer Charter”) in connection with the Business Combination Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the number of shares of Buyer Class A Common Stock into which all of the outstanding shares of Buyer Class B Common Stock shall convert shall be 3,399,724 shares of Buyer Class A Common Stock, without further deduction or modification, other than in connection with any stock split, reverse stock, split, stock dividend or any similar adjustment.

 

4.11   Back-Stop.

 

(a)          If, at the time of the Closing, the Available Buyer Funding (disregarding clause (z) of the definition of “PIPE Financing Amount”) would be less than the Minimum Available Buyer Funding Amount, then Boston Omaha shall, or shall cause one or more of its affiliates to, purchase shares of PubCo Class A Common Stock through a combination (as determined by Boston Omaha in its discretion) of (x) cash and (y) a number of Back-Stop Shares (free and clear of all Liens) with an aggregate Share Value, (the sum of (x) and (y) being the “Back-Stop Amount”), sufficient to cause Available Buyer Funding to equal Minimum Available Buyer Funding Amount. Boston Omaha and its affiliates making such purchase shall receive in exchange for payment of the Back-Stop Amount that number of shares of PubCo Class A Common Stock equal to (xx) the Back-Stop Amount, divided by (yy) ten (10). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 4.11, in no event shall the Back-Stop Amount exceed the sum of $45 million.

 

(b) Any and all sums due under this Section 4.11 shall be paid in the manner as described in Section 4.11(a) at the Closing by wire transfer and/or acceptable transfer of Back-Stop Shares.
