Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or as contemplated in Section 6.6 or Section 6.8(b), (i) BMAC shall, upon recommendation of the BMAC Special Committee and through the approval of the BMAC Board, recommend to its stockholders (the “BMAC Board Recommendation”), (A) the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) (the “Business Combination Proposal”); (B) the adoption and approval of a proposal for one or more postponements or adjournments of the BMAC Stockholders Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt any of the foregoing (such proposals in (A) and (B), collectively, the “Transaction Proposals”); (C) the approval, by an advisory vote, of certain differences between the Pre-Closing BMAC Governing Documents and the proposed New BMAC Certificate of Incorporation and New BMAC Bylaws; (D) the adoption and approval of each other proposal that either the SEC or Nasdaq (or the respective staff members thereof) indicates is necessary in its comments to the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement or in correspondence related thereto; and (E) the adoption and approval of each other proposal reasonably agreed to by BMAC and the Company as necessary or appropriate in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents (such proposals in clauses (C), (D) and (E), the “Other Transactions Proposals”), and (ii) BMAC shall include such recommendation contemplated by clause (i) in the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, BMAC may postpone or adjourn the BMAC Stockholders Meeting (1) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the BMAC Stockholder Approval, (2) for the absence of a quorum, (3) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosures that BMAC has determined, based on the advice of outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Pre-Closing BMAC Stockholders prior to the BMAC Stockholders Meeting or (4) if the holders of BMAC Common Shares have elected to redeem a number of BMAC Common Shares as of such time that would reasonably be expected to result in the condition set forth in Section 7.1(g) not being satisfied; provided that, without the consent of the Company, in no event shall BMAC adjourn the BMAC Stockholders Meeting for more than fifteen (15) Business Days later than the most recently adjourned meeting or to a date that is beyond the Termination Date. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or as permitted by this Agreement (including Section 6.6 hereof), BMAC covenants that none of BMAC, the BMAC Board nor any committee of the BMAC Board shall withdraw or modify, or propose publicly or by formal action of any of BMAC, the BMAC Board, or any committee of the BMAC Board to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to the Group Companies, the BMAC Board Recommendation or any other recommendation by BMAC, the BMAC Board or any committee of the BMAC Board of the proposals set forth in the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement.

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, BMAC may, no later than the later of (x) thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement and (y) five (5) days following delivery of the PCAOB Audited Financial Statements (the “Diligence Period”), notify the Company in writing that it intends to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(k) identifying any due diligence deficiencies or valuation issues identified by BMAC in connection with its due diligence investigation of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as a result of the Conveyance Plan and/or the Schedule Supplement) (a “Diligence Deficiency Notice”) and may, in BMAC’s sole discretion, propose a revised Equity Value (or such other amended or additional terms) on which BMAC would be willing to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company may, in its sole discretion, promptly but not later than within three (3) Business Days after its receipt of a Diligence Deficiency Notice, negotiate with BMAC with respect to any such amended or additional terms and/or make a counterproposal to BMAC (a “Company Counterproposal”). During the fifteen (15) days following BMAC’s receipt of a Company Counterproposal (if any) (the “Renegotiation Period”), BMAC shall consider and discuss in good faith with the Company all proposals submitted by the Company and, without limiting the foregoing, shall, and shall cause its financial advisors and legal counsel to, from time to time as reasonably required by the Company, meet with the Company, its financial advisors and/or legal counsel to consider and discuss the Company’s proposals with the Company and its advisors, attorneys and other representatives; provided that nothing in this Section 6.8 shall require either Party to accept any proposal by the other Party or require the BMAC Board to recommend the adoption and approval of any such proposal to BMAC’s Stockholders. To the extent that the Company does not deliver a Company Counterproposal, BMAC shall have a fifteen (15) day period following the delivery of the Diligence Deficiency Notice (“Reconsideration Period”) in order to consider, together with its legal and financial advisors, whether to exercise its rights pursuant to Section 8.1(k).

(c)            From the date hereof through the expiration of the Diligence Period, the Company shall, and shall cause its directors, officers, employees, advisors, attorneys and other representatives to, reasonably cooperate with BMAC and its employees, advisors, attorneys and other representatives to provide any information reasonably requested by BMAC and its employees, advisors, attorneys and other representatives in connection with such Persons’ due diligence review of the Company as promptly as practicable following any such request.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, during such six (6)-year period, New BMAC shall advance, or caused to be advanced, expenses incurred by any Person in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding to which such Person is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such Person is or was director or officer of a BMAC Party or is or was serving at the request of a BMAC Party in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that they are not entitled to be indemnified by under the applicable BMAC Party’s Governing Documents or this Agreement. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the BMAC Parties’ Governing Documents shall not, during such six (6)-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified following the Effective Time in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, or at any time prior to such time, were directors or officers of any BMAC Party (the “BMAC D&O Persons”) entitled to be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time and relating to the fact that such BMAC D&O Person was a director or officer of any BMAC Party on or prior to the Effective Time, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law.

(b)           New BMAC shall not have any obligation under this Section 6.14 to any BMAC D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such BMAC D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c)            BMAC shall purchase, at or prior to the Effective Time, and maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, without lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of the BMAC Parties in effect as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time. Such “tail” policy shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the Persons covered thereby) the coverage provided under the BMAC Parties’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect as of the date of this Agreement; provided that BMAC shall not be obligated to pay a premium for such “tail” policy in excess of three-hundred percent (300%) of the most recent policy term premium paid by BMAC prior to the date of this Agreement and, in such event, BMAC shall purchase the maximum coverage available for three-hundred (300%) of the most recent policy term premium paid by BMAC prior to the date of this Agreement.

(d)            If New BMAC or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets as an entity in one or a series of related transactions to any Person, then in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of New BMAC shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.14.

(e)            The Persons entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation or insurance coverage set forth in this Section 6.14 are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.14. This Section 6.14 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of New BMAC.

Section 6.15      Company Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a)            Each Party agrees that (i) all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors and officers of the Group Companies, as provided in the Group Companies’ Governing Documents or otherwise in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, in either case, solely with respect to any matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, shall survive the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Effective Time for a period of six (6) years and (ii) New BMAC will cause the applicable Group Companies to perform and discharge all obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation during such six (6)-year period. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, during such six (6)-year period, New BMAC shall cause the applicable Group Companies to advance expenses incurred by any Person in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding to which such Person is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such Person is or was director or officer of a Group Company or is or was serving at the request of a Group Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that they are not entitled to be indemnified as provided in the Group Companies’ Governing Documents or other applicable agreements in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Group Companies’ Governing Documents shall not, during such six (6)-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified following the Effective Time in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Effective Time or at any time prior to the Effective Time, were directors or officers of the Group Companies (the “Company D&O Persons”) entitled to be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring prior to Closing and relating to the fact that such Company D&O Person was a director or officer of any Group Company on or prior to the Effective Time, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law.

(b)            None of BMAC, New BMAC or the Group Companies shall have any obligation under this Section 6.15 to any Company D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such Company D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c)            If New BMAC or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets as an entity in one or a series of related transactions to any Person, then in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of New BMAC shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.15.

(d)           The Persons entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation or insurance coverage set forth in this Section 6.15 are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.15. This Section 6.15 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of New BMAC.

Prior to the time at which the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Company may, by giving BMAC and the BMAC Sponsor written notice, replace any Company Designee with any other individual. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, unless otherwise agreed in writing by BMAC and the BMAC Sponsor, in no event shall there be less than three (3) Company Designees that would qualify as “independent directors” under the listing rules of Nasdaq immediately after the Effective Time (whether as a result of the replacement of any Company Designee as contemplated by this Section 6.16(b) or otherwise).

The Parties shall file all Tax Returns consistent with, and take no position for Tax purposes inconsistent with (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise), the Intended Tax Treatment unless required to do so pursuant to a “determination” that is final within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law). The Parties will reasonably cooperate, and will cause their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, accountants, consultants, advisors, attorneys, agents and other representatives to reasonably cooperate, to document and support the Intended Tax Treatment, including, to the extent reasonably requested by a Party, providing factual support letters of the sort customarily provided as the basis for a tax opinion that the Merger qualifies for the Intended Tax Treatment.

(b)           The Parties hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). From the date hereof through the Closing, and following the Closing, the Parties shall not, and shall not permit or cause their respective Affiliates to, take any action, or knowingly fail to take any action, which action or failure to act prevents or impedes, or would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede, the Merger qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.

(c)            If, in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, the SEC requests or requires that tax opinions be prepared and submitted, BMAC, New BMAC, Merger Sub and the Company shall deliver to Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Reed Smith LLP customary tax representation letters satisfactory to its counsel, dated and executed as of the date the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC and such other date(s) as determined reasonably necessary by such counsel in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP shall furnish any such tax opinion, subject to customary assumptions and limitations, with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences to any of the BMAC Parties and the BMAC Interest Holders and the Intended Tax Treatment, and Reed Smith LLP shall furnish any such tax opinion, subject to customary assumptions and limitations, with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Acquisition and the Distribution to the Company and/or the Company Shareholders.

(d)            Each Party shall reasonably cooperate (and cause its Affiliates to reasonably cooperate), as and to the extent reasonably requested by each other Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and any examination or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of any Group Company. Such cooperation shall include the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit or other Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company shall (and shall cause its respective Affiliates to) provide any information reasonably requested to allow New BMAC or any Group Company to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code or other applicable Laws or to compute the amount of payroll or other employment Taxes due with respect to any payment made in connection with this Agreement.

(e)            New BMAC shall be responsible for any and all Transfer Taxes and shall cause any and all Transfer Taxes to be timely paid to the applicable Tax Authority. The BMAC Parties and the Company shall cooperate to prepare and file, or shall cause to be prepared and filed, in a timely manner, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, the Parties will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate and join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to establish any available exemption from (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax. The BMAC Parties shall provide the other Parties with evidence reasonably satisfactory to such other Party or Parties that such Transfer Taxes have been paid, or if the relevant transactions are exempt from Transfer Taxes, evidence of the filing of an appropriate certificate or other evidence of exemption.

Section 6.24      Financing.

(a)            Prior to the Closing, the BMAC Parties may execute Financing Agreements that would constitute BMAC Financing; provided that, the BMAC Parties shall not enter into any Financing Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company with respect to terms and quantum of such financing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), it being agreed that any quantum of financing required to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 7.3(d) shall be deemed consented to; provided, that, to the extent relevant, to the extent such financing involves the issuance of New BMAC Common Shares, it shall not be issued for less than the New BMAC Share Value, without the Company’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Company shall have the reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and terms of the Financing Agreement and the BMAC Parties shall consider any such comments in good faith.

(b)            Prior to the earlier of the Closing and the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, the Company agrees, and shall cause the appropriate officers and employees thereof, to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate, in connection with the arrangement of any BMAC Financing, including to the extent such financing will be issued at a Group Company level, as may be reasonably requested by BMAC, including by (i) upon reasonable prior notice, participating in meetings, calls, drafting sessions, presentations, and due diligence sessions (including accounting due diligence sessions) and sessions with prospective investors at mutually agreeable times and locations and upon reasonable advance notice (including the participation in any relevant “roadshow”), (ii) assisting with the preparation of customary materials, (iii) providing the PCAOB Audited Financial Statements and such other financial information regarding the Group Companies available to the Company as is reasonably requested in connection therewith, subject to confidentiality obligations acceptable to the Company, (iv) taking all corporate actions that are necessary or customary to obtain BMAC Financing, and (v) otherwise reasonably cooperating in BMAC’s efforts to obtain BMAC Financing.

The Company shall provide BMAC with a reasonable opportunity to review any certificates, filings, contracts, agreements or other documentation, and any amendments or supplements thereto, to be made or entered into by the Company or the Group Companies to effect the Conveyances (the “Conveyance Documents”), including by providing substantially final (subject to any comments from BMAC) drafts of such Conveyance Documents to BMAC no less than five (5) Business Days in advance of the effectiveness of the transactions contemplated therein or, if earlier, the execution thereof, and the Company shall incorporate BMAC’s reasonable comments thereto.

Section 6.26      Supplement to Company Disclosure Schedules. Between the date of this Agreement and the date that is ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to supplement or amend the Company Disclosure Schedules (each a “Schedule Supplement”) with respect to any representations or warranties made by the Company in Article 4, and each such Schedule Supplement shall be deemed to be incorporated into and to supplement and amend the Company Disclosure Schedules.

Section 6.27      Leakage. The Company covenants and agrees that (a) there shall be no Leakage prior to the Closing and (b) no arrangements or agreements shall be made that would reasonably be expected to result in any Leakage prior to the Closing. The Company shall notify BMAC in writing promptly, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days, after becoming aware of anything which would constitute a breach of this Section 6.27 (including the specific amount of any Leakage, if known, or a reasonable estimate thereof).

Section 6.28      Employment Agreements. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each of the employees of the Company or a Group Company set forth on a schedule to be delivered by BMAC to the Company within five (5) Business Days hereof (each, a “Key Employee”) to negotiate, execute and deliver an employment agreement between such Key Employee and New BMAC or a Group Company, as applicable, which employment agreement will take effect upon the Closing. Such employment agreements shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to BMAC.

Section 9.11           Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and each Ancillary Document (including any of the closing deliverables contemplated hereby) may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 9.15          Waiver of Jury Trial.

Section 9.16          Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, in the event, but only in the event, that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division) or, if subject matter jurisdiction over the action or proceeding is vested exclusively in the federal courts of the United States of America, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware), for the purposes of any Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action (a) arising under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Document or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Proceeding 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 Proceeding claim, demand, action or cause of action against such Party (i) arising under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Document or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, (A) any claim that such Party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 9.16 for any reason, (B) that such Party or such Party’s property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process 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 Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action in any such court is brought against such Party in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action against such Party is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced against such Party 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 9.4 shall be effective service of process for any such Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action.

Section 9.17          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 contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek 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.

Section 9.18          Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of BMAC, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-259770) on October 19, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). The Company acknowledges and agrees and understands that BMAC has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of BMAC’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by BMAC’s underwriters, the “Public Stockholders”), and BMAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of BMAC entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company each hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Representatives does now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between BMAC or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and, the Company or any of its Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Trust Account Released Claims”). The Company on its own behalf and on behalf of its Representatives (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of the Company, its future equityholders), hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its Representatives (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of the Company, its future equityholders) may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, or Contracts with BMAC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with BMAC or its Affiliates).
