NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Sale and Purchase.

 

(a)                                 Forward Purchase Securities.

 

(i)                   Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Pubco shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from Pubco, the Pubco Forward Purchase Securities for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000,000 (the “FPS Purchase Price”).

 

(ii)                 Each Pubco Forward Purchase Warrant will have the same terms as each warrant of the Company sold as part of the units of the Company in the IPO, and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement to be entered into between Pubco and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, in connection with the Transaction (the “Warrant Agreement”). Each Pubco Forward Purchase Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one (1) Pubco Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the Warrant Agreement, and only whole Pubco Forward Purchase Warrants will be exercisable. The Pubco Forward Purchase Warrants will become exercisable thirty (30) days after the Merger Closing, and will expire five (5) years after the Share Acquisition Closing or earlier upon redemption or the liquidation of Pubco, as described in the Warrant Agreement.

 

(iii)                Pubco shall require the Purchaser to purchase the Pubco Forward Purchase Securities by delivering notice to the Purchaser, at least ten (10) Business Days before the Merger Closing, specifying the anticipated date of the Merger Closing, and instructions for wiring the FPS Purchase Price to Pubco. At least two (2) Business Days before the anticipated date of the Merger Closing specified in such notice, the Purchaser shall deliver the FPS Purchase Price to Pubco in cash via wire transfer to the account specified in such notice. If the Share Acquisition Closing does not occur within thirty (30) days after the FPS Closing, Pubco shall automatically return to the Purchaser the FPS Purchase Price, provided that the return of the FPS

Purchase Price by Pubco shall not terminate the Agreement or otherwise relieve any party of any of its obligations hereunder. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to close in the City of New York, New York.

 

(iv)               The closing of the sale of the Pubco Forward Purchase Securities (the “FPS Closing”) shall be held after, and conditional upon, the Merger Closing and prior to the Share Acquisition Closing. At the FPS Closing, Pubco will issue to the Purchaser the Pubco Forward Purchase Securities, each registered in the name of the Purchaser.

 

(b)                                 Delivery of Forward Purchase Securities.

(ii)                 Each register and book entry for the Pubco Forward Purchase Securities shall contain a notation, and each certificate (if any) evidencing the Pubco Forward Purchase Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in substantially the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS.”

 

(c)                                  Legend Removal. If the Pubco Forward Purchase Securities are eligible to be sold without restriction under, and without Pubco being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), then at the Purchaser’s request, Pubco will cause Pubco’s transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section 1(b)(ii). In connection therewith, if required by Pubco’s transfer agent, Pubco will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to transfer such Pubco Forward Purchase Securities without any such legend; provided, however, that Pubco will not be required to deliver any such opinion, authorization or certificate or direction if it reasonably believes that removal of the legend could result in or facilitate transfers of Pubco Forward Purchase Securities in violation of applicable law.

(i)                                     The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that the Company maintains a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of its public shareholders. The Purchaser, for itself and its affiliates, hereby agrees that it has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, or any other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Company Ordinary Shares held by the Purchaser.

 

(ii)                                  The Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall have no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have now or in the future, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Company Ordinary Shares held by it. In the event the Purchaser has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Account, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Company Ordinary Shares held by the Purchaser.

 

(b)                                 No Short Sales. The Purchaser hereby agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of Pubco prior to the Share Acquisition Closing. For purposes of this Section 5, “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

(ii)                                  The Purchaser shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this

All of the terms, agreements, covenants, representations, warranties, and conditions of this Agreement are binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and are enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors.

(f)                                   Assignments. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no party hereto may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties except that the Purchaser may assign its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder to any of its affiliates, provided, however, that no such assignment or delegation shall relieve the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder and Pubco shall be entitled to pursue all rights and remedies against the Purchaser subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

 

(g)                                  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

(h)                                 Headings. The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

(i)                                     Governing Law. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any dispute between the parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles.

 

(j)                                    Jurisdiction. The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (ii) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in state courts of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (iii) hereby waive, and

 

16

 

agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, 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 suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court.

 

(k)                                 Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any litigation pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(l)                                     Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except with the prior written consent of Pubco, the Purchaser and, prior to the Merger Closing, the Company.

 

(m)                             Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party hereto or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties hereto agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

 

(n)                                 Expenses. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, financial advisors, legal counsel and accountants. Pubco shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent; stamp taxes and all of The Depository Trust Company’s fees associated with the issuance of the Pubco Forward Purchase Securities and the securities issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Pubco Forward Purchase Securities.

 

(o)                                 Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,”

 

17

 

“hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

 

(p)                                 Waiver. No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.

 

(q)                                 Confidentiality. Except as may be required by law, regulation or applicable stock exchange listing requirements, unless and until the transactions contemplated hereby and the terms hereof are publicly announced or otherwise publicly disclosed by Pubco, the parties hereto shall keep confidential and shall not publicly disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement.

 

(r)                                    Specific Performance. The Purchaser agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof and that Pubco and, prior to the Merger Closing, the Company, shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

Re:  Initial Public Offering:

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter (“Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) entered into by and between Kismet Acquisition One Corp, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability (the “Company”), and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and BofA Securities, Inc. as representatives (the “Representatives”) of the several Underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each comprised of one ordinary share of the Company, no par value (the “Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one warrant (“Warrant”) to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units shall be sold in the IPO pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) and prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as described in the Company’s final prospectus (the “Prospectus”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 11 hereof.

 

In order to induce the Company and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the IPO, and in recognition of the benefit that such IPO will confer upon the undersigned as a shareholder of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees with the Company as follows:

 

1.                                      If the Company solicits approval of its shareholders of a Business Combination, the undersigned will vote all Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by it, whether acquired before, in or after the IPO, in favor of such Business Combination.

 

2.                                      (a) In the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the undersigned shall take all reasonable steps to (i) cause the Company to cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as possible, but no more than ten business days after the expiration of such period, redeem the IPO Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Fund including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Fund (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding IPO Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining holders of Ordinary Shares and the Board of Directors, cause the Company to dissolve and liquidate, subject in the case of (ii) and (iii) above to the Company’s obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable laws. The undersigned agrees not to propose any amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the IPO Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the IPO Shares if the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the consummation of the

 

 

IPO unless the Company provides holders of the IPO Shares with the opportunity to redeem their IPO Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Fund, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Fund and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding IPO Shares.

 

(b)                                 The undersigned hereby waives any and all right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of the Trust Fund and any remaining net assets of the Company as a result of such liquidation with respect to its Founder Shares and Private Warrants (and the underlying Ordinary Shares) (“Claim”) and hereby waives any Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and will not seek recourse against the Trust Fund for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that there will be no distribution from the Trust Fund with respect to any Private Warrants, which will terminate upon the Company’s liquidation.

 

3.                                      To the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 Units (as described in the Prospectus), the undersigned agrees that it shall return to the Company, on a pro rata basis in accordance with the percentage of Founder Shares held by it, for cancellation at no cost, a number of Founder Shares equal to 937,500 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 3,750,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 3,750,000.  The undersigned further agrees that to the extent that (a) the size of the IPO is increased or decreased and (b) the undersigned has either purchased or sold Ordinary Shares or an adjustment to the number of Founder Shares has been effected by way of a share split, share dividend, reverse share split, contribution back to capital or otherwise, in each case in connection with such increase or decrease in the size of the IPO, then (A) the references to 3,750,000 in the numerator and denominator of the formula in the immediately preceding sentence shall be changed to a number equal to 15% of the number of Ordinary Shares included in the Units issued in the IPO and (B) the reference to 937,500 in the formula set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be adjusted to such number of Ordinary Shares that the undersigned would have to return to the Company in order to hold an aggregate of 20.0% of the sum of (x) the Company’s issued and outstanding IPO Shares and Founder Shares immediately after the IPO and (y) the number of Ordinary Shares to be sold pursuant to the forward purchase agreement to be entered into between the Company and the undersigned (or an affiliate of the undersigned) on or about the date hereof.

 

4.                                      (a) The undersigned agrees that it shall not effectuate a Transfer of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) such time, at least 150 days after the Business Combination, that the closing price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “Lock-up”).

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lock-up restrictions will be removed earlier if, after a Business Combination, the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.

 

(c)                                  The undersigned agrees that he, she or it shall not effectuate a Transfer of the Private Warrants or the Ordinary Shares underlying such warrants, until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and as further subject to the transfer restrictions described in the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement relating to the Private Warrants.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in this paragraph 4, Transfers of the Founder Shares and Private Warrants (and the underlying Ordinary Shares) are permitted (i) to the Company’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family members of any of the Company’s officers or directors, any members of Kismet Sponsor Limited (the “Sponsor”), or any affiliates of the Sponsor, (ii) by gift to a member of the undersigned’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the undersigned’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization, (iii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (iv) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (v) by private sales or transfers made in connection with any forward purchase agreement or similar arrangement or in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased, (vii) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of a Business Combination, (viii) by virtue of the laws of the British Virgin Islands or the Sponsor’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or the rights attaching to the equity interests in the

Sponsor upon dissolution of the Sponsor, or (ix) in the event of the Company’s liquidation, merger, capital share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination; provided that in clauses (i) through (v), the transferee must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by the terms of the Lock-up. If dividends are declared and payable in Ordinary Shares, such dividends will also be subject to the Lock-up.

 

5.                                      During the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, hedge or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of (or enter into any transaction that is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned or any person in privity with the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the SEC in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to, any Units, Ordinary Shares or Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares owned by him, (ii) 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 Units, Ordinary Shares, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares owned by him, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction, including the filing of a registration statement, specified in clause (i) or (ii). The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the effective date of any release or waiver of the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 5, the Company shall announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted shall only be effective two business days after the publication of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply to any transfer not for consideration provided that the transferee in each case has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

 

6.                                      The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that prior to entering into a Business Combination with a target business that is affiliated with the undersigned or any Insiders of the Company or their affiliates, including any company that is a portfolio company of, or otherwise affiliated with an entity with which the undersigned or any Insider or their affiliates is affiliated, such transaction must be approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested independent directors and the Company must obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or an independent accounting firm that such Business Combination is fair to the Company’s unaffiliated shareholders from a financial point of view.

 

7.                                      Neither the undersigned, nor any member of the family of the undersigned, nor any affiliate of the undersigned, will be entitled to receive or accept a finder’s fee, reimbursement, cash payment, or any other compensation in connection with any services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of the Business Combination; provided that the Company shall be allowed to make the payments set forth in the Registration Statement adjacent to the caption “Summary—The Offering—Limited payments to insiders.”

 

8.                                      The undersigned hereby waives its right to exercise redemption rights with respect to any Ordinary Shares owned or to be owned by the undersigned, directly or indirectly, whether purchased prior to the IPO, in the IPO or in the aftermarket, and agrees that it will not seek redemption with respect to or otherwise sell such shares to the Company in connection with any Business Combination.

 

9.                                      In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Fund, the undersigned (in such capacity, the “Indemnitor”), agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) a prospective target business with which the Company has had discussions or entered into an acquisition agreement (a “Target”) or (ii) any vendor or other person who is owed money by the Company for services rendered or products sold to, or contracted for, the Company, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce

 

3

 

the amount of funds in the Trust Fund to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per IPO Share and (ii) the actual amount per IPO Share held in the Trust Fund as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Fund if less than $10.00 per IPO Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of interest that may be withdrawn to pay the Company’s taxes; provided, that such indemnity shall not apply if such Target, vendor or other person has executed an agreement waiving any claims against the Trust Fund and all rights to seek access to the Trust Fund whether or not such agreement is enforceable. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed unenforceable against such third party, the Indemnitor shall not be responsible for any liability as a result of any such third party claims. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, such indemnification of the Company by the Indemnitor shall not apply as to any claims under the Company’s obligation to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, as amended. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination and must liquidate and its remaining net assets are insufficient to complete such liquidation, Indemnitor agrees to advance such funds necessary to complete such liquidation and agrees not to seek repayment for such expenses. The undersigned shall have the right to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written receipt of notice of the claim to the undersigned, the undersigned notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense.

 

10.                               This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The parties hereto (i) all agree that any action, proceeding, claim or dispute arising out of, or relating in any way to, this Letter Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of New York City, in the State of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction and venue, which jurisdiction and venue shall be exclusive, and (ii) waives any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

 

11.                               As used herein, (i) a “Business Combination” shall mean an acquisition, share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, contractual control arrangement with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities; (ii) “Memorandum and Articles of Association” shall mean the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as the same shall be amended from time to time; (iii) “Insiders” shall mean all officers, directors and shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the IPO; (iv) “Founder Shares” shall mean all of the Ordinary Shares of the Company acquired by the undersigned prior to the consummation of the IPO; (v) “IPO Shares” shall mean the Ordinary Shares issued in the Company’s IPO; (vi) “Private Warrants” shall mean the warrants purchased in a private placement taking place simultaneously with the consummation of the Company’s IPO and the over-allotment option, if any; (vii) “Trust Fund” shall mean the trust fund into which a portion of the net proceeds of the Company’s IPO and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be deposited; and (viii) “Transfer” shall mean the (a) sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or 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 with respect to, any security, (b) 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 any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b).

 

12.                               Any notice, consent or request to be given in connection with any of the terms or provisions of this Letter Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by express mail or similar private courier service, by certified mail (return receipt requested), by hand delivery or facsimile transmission.

 

13.                               No party hereto may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party.  Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph 13 shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee.  This Letter Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and any successors and assigns thereof.

 

14.                               This Letter Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Lock-up or (ii) the liquidation of the Company; provided, however, that this Letter Agreement shall earlier terminate in the event that the

IPO is not consummated and closed by December 31, 2020, provided further that paragraph 9 of this Letter Agreement shall survive such liquidation.

 

15.                               The undersigned acknowledge and understand that the Underwriters and the Company will rely upon the agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein in proceeding with the IPO.
