Outstanding Purchaser Securities, Company Shares and Norway Merger Sub 1 Shares converted into the right to receive the consideration provided in Section 2.6 will be deemed, from and after the applicable Effective Time, to evidence only the right to secure the consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled hereunder. In the case of (i) certificated shares, each certificate previously evidencing shares, or (ii) non-certificated shares represented by book entry, each document as may be required to be provided to the Transfer Agent pursuant to the applicable letter of transmittal as evidence, of (A) Purchaser Ordinary Shares (other than those described in Section 2.6(b)(ii) and Section 2.6(c)) shall be exchanged for a book entry representing a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares determined in accordance with Section 2.6, (B) Company Shares shall be exchanged for a book entry representing a number of Norway Merger Sub 1 Shares determined in accordance with Section 2.6(f) and (C) Norway Merger Sub 1 Shares (other than those held by Pubco) shall be exchanged for a book entry representing a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares determined in accordance with Section 2.6(g) to the extent applicable, upon the surrender of such certificate (in the case of certificated shares) or applicable document (in the case of non-certificated shares) in accordance with this Section 2.7(b). Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.7(b), each Purchaser Ordinary Share, Company Share and Norway Merger Sub 1 Share (other than those described in Section 2.6(b)(ii), Section 2.6(c) and Section 2.6(j) and the Norway Merger Sub 1 Shares held by Pubco) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive a number of Norway Merger Sub 1 Shares or Pubco Ordinary Shares, as applicable, determined in accordance with this Agreement and, in the case of the Company Shares, the Norway Plan of Merger, and in the case of the Purchaser Ordinary Shares, the Cayman Plan of Merger.

(c) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.7, none of the Surviving Corporations, including Pubco, or any other Party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(d) Surrender of Purchaser Securities, Company Shares and Norway Merger Sub 1 Shares. All securities issued upon the surrender (to the extent applicable) of Purchaser Securities, Company Shares and Norway Merger Sub 1 Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities, provided that any restrictions on the sale and transfer of Purchaser Securities, Norway Merger Sub 1 Shares or Company Shares shall also apply to the Norway Merger Sub 1 Shares or Pubco Securities, as applicable, so issued in exchange.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Norway Merger Sub 1 shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, as the case may be, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such securities, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.6; provided, however, that Norway Merger Sub 1 may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to agree to indemnify the Surviving Corporations, or deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporations with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.8 Treatment of Company Options, Company Warrants and EDGE Warrants.

(a) Immediately prior to the Norway Effective Time, each Company Option set forth on Schedule 2.8(a) and that is outstanding as of such time shall be converted into the right to receive an option relating to Pubco Ordinary Shares upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such Company Options immediately prior to the Norway Effective Time (subject to any amendments required by the Luxembourg Companies Act), including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions (each, a “Pubco Option”) except that (i) such Pubco Options shall relate to that whole number of Pubco Ordinary Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Company Shares subject to such Company Option, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) the exercise price per share for each such Pubco Option shall be equal to the exercise price per share of such Company Option in effect immediately prior to the Norway Effective Time as set forth in Section 7.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, divided by the Exchange Ratio and, to the fullest extent permitted by the terms of such Company Option or by consent from the holder of such Company Option, translated into US dollars based on the Relevant NOK/USD Exchange Rate (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full øre (1/100 of one NOK) or cent, as the case may be); provided, however, that the conversion of the Company Options will be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that such conversion will not constitute a “modification” of such Company Options for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.

(c) Immediately prior to the Norway Effective Time, each Company EDGE Warrant that is then outstanding shall be converted into the right to receive a warrant relating to Pubco Ordinary Shares upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such warrant immediately prior to the Norway Effective Time (subject to any amendments required by the Luxembourg Companies Act), including with respect to vesting and termination-related provisions (each, a “Pubco EDGE Warrant”) except that (a) such Pubco EDGE Warrant shall relate to that whole number of Pubco Ordinary Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Company Shares subject to such Company EDGE Warrant, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (b) the exercise price per share for each such Pubco EDGE Warrant shall be equal to the exercise price per share of such Company EDGE Warrant in effect immediately prior to the Norway Effective Time as set forth in Section 7.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, divided by the Exchange Ratio and, to the fullest extent permitted by the terms of such Company EDGE Warrant or by consent from the holder of such Company EDGE Warrant, translated into US dollars based on the Relevant NOK/USD Exchange Rate (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full øre (1/100 of one NOK) or cent, as the case may be); provided, however, that the conversion of the Company EDGE Warrants will be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1, such that such conversion will not constitute a “modification” of such Company EDGE Warrants for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.

ESCROW

3.1 Escrow. At or prior to the First Closing, Pubco, the Purchaser Representative, the Shareholder Representative and the Escrow Agent shall enter into an Escrow Agreement, effective as of the Second Closing, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which Pubco shall cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent at the Second Closing a number of Exchange Shares (each valued at the lower of (i) the Redemption Price and the (ii) PIPE Price) equal to five percent (5%) of the Base Consideration (including any equity securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such shares or into which such shares are exchanged or converted, the “Escrow Shares”) (which Escrow Shares would have otherwise been deliverable to the Major Shareholders at the Second Closing), with the Escrow Shares, along with any dividends, distributions and other earnings thereon and other Escrow Property, to be held by the Escrow Agent in a segregated escrow account (“Escrow Account”) and disbursed therefrom in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Shares and other Escrow Property shall serve as partial security for the Major Shareholders’ obligations after the Second Closing under Article X and Article XI. The portion of the Exchange Shares that shall be withheld at the Second Closing for deposit in the Escrow Account shall be allocated among the Major Shareholders based on their respective Major Shareholder Pro Rata Percentage (such percentage being each such Major Shareholder’s “Escrow Allocation”). For the avoidance of doubt, no Exchange Shares to be received by Shareholders other than the Major Shareholders shall be withheld at the Second Closing and deposited into the Escrow Account. Each Major Shareholder shall be deemed to be the owner of its Escrow Allocation of the Escrow Shares and to be entitled to the related dividends, distributions and other earnings thereon in respect of its Escrow Allocation of such Escrow Shares upon release from escrow to the Major Shareholders, subject to the retention of any dividends, distributions and other earnings thereon in the Escrow Account until disbursed therefrom in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Each Major Shareholder shall have the right to vote its Escrow Allocation of such Escrow Shares during the time held in the Escrow Account as Escrow Shares.

Pubco shall provide Shareholder Representative reasonable access to all relevant Pubco documents, records, and other information requested by Shareholder Representative in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Section 9.16, and shall provide Shareholder Representative adequate opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, Pubco’s officers, employees, agents, accountants, and representatives concerning Pubco’s business, operations, financial condition, assets, liabilities, and all other matters relevant to its holding of the Exchange Shares. For as long as the applicable Norway Merger Sub 1 Shareholder holds Exchange Shares, Pubco will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the undersigned to resell such shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the shareholders). Each of the Parties further acknowledges and agrees that the Shareholder Representative shall have the authority, on behalf of such Shareholders, to enforce the terms of the foregoing provision, without any further actions being taken by any such shareholders. Pubco shall take any and all reasonable actions necessary to ensure that the issuance of the Exchange Shares pursuant to this Section 9.16(a) complies with the requirements of Regulation S, including, without limitation, to the extent reasonable and necessary or required by applicable Governmental Authorities, amending its organizational documents to comply with the terms of 17 CFR § 230.903(b)(3)(iii)(B)(3)-(4), and if after taking such actions, such compliance is not possible, the Parties shall mutually agree an alternative method for the issuance of the Exchange Shares in compliance with the Securities Act.

(b) Pubco agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Norway Merger Sub 1 Shareholders (to the extent a seller under the Resale Shelf Registration Statement), its directors and officers and each person who controls such shareholder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), to the extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees of one law firm) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Resale Shelf Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Resale Shelf Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to Pubco by or on behalf of any such Norway Merger Sub 1 Shareholder expressly for use therein.

9.17 Delisting and Deregistration. The Parties shall take all actions necessary or reasonably requested by another Party to cause the Purchaser Units, Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares and Purchaser Warrants to be delisted from the NYSE (or be succeeded by the Pubco Securities) and to terminate its registration with the SEC pursuant to Sections 12(b), 12(g) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act (or be succeeded by Pubco) as of the First Closing Date.

9.18 Pubco NYSE Listing. The Purchaser and Pubco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Pubco Ordinary Shares to be approved for listing on the NYSE by no later than the First Closing Date, and to remain listed as a public company on the NYSE through the Second Closing Date.

10.3 Limitations and General Indemnification Provisions.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article X, the Indemnitees will not be entitled to receive any indemnification payments under Section 10.2 unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Indemnitees for which they are otherwise entitled to indemnification under this Article X exceeds the value of $2,000,000 (the “Basket”), in which case the Indemnitors shall be obligated to the Indemnitees for the amount of all Losses of the Indemnitees from the first dollar of Losses of the Indemnitees, subject to the other limitations herein; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to (i) indemnification claims for breaches of any Special Representations or (ii) Fraud Claims.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent recovery is sought in respect of any indemnifiable Losses in excess of the Escrow Shares, each Major Shareholder shall only be liable for its Shareholder Pro Rata Percentage of any such Loss.

(f) In no event will any Indemnitee be entitled to any recovery for any Loss more than once.

(g) Solely for purposes of determining the amount of Losses under this Article X (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach giving rise to the indemnification claim), all of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement (including the disclosure schedules hereto) or any Ancillary Document that are qualified by materiality, Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import or effect will be deemed to have been made without any such qualification.

(h) After becoming aware of any event or occurrence that would reasonably be expected to give rise to an indemnification right under this Article X, each Indemnitee shall use their reasonable best efforts, to the extent required by applicable Law, to mitigate all Losses arising therefrom; provided, however, that in no event shall any Indemnitee be required to mitigate any Losses directly or indirectly resulting from (i) any actions taken at the written direction of the Purchaser, (ii) any change in applicable Laws (including for the avoidance of doubt, any change in the applicable Tax rate applicable to the Company), or (iii) any Losses as having been reflected or accrued in the Company Financials.

10.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The Purchaser Representative shall have the sole right and sole ability to act on behalf of the Indemnitees with respect to any indemnification claims made pursuant to this Article X, including bringing and settling any indemnification claims hereunder and receiving any notices on behalf of the Indemnitees. The Shareholder Representative shall have the sole right and ability to act on behalf of the Indemnitors with respect to any indemnification claims made pursuant to this Article X, including defending and settling any indemnification claims hereunder and receiving any notices on behalf of the Indemnitors.

(b) In order to make a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Purchaser Representative must, on behalf of an Indemnitee provide written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of such claim to the Shareholder Representative on behalf of the Indemnitors, which Claim Notice shall include (i) a reasonable description of the facts and circumstances which relate to the subject matter of such indemnification claim to the extent then known and (ii) the amount of Losses suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with the claim to the extent known or reasonably estimable (provided, that the Purchaser Representative may thereafter adjust the amount of Losses with respect to the claim by providing a revised Claim Notice to the Shareholder Representative and the Escrow Agent); provided, that the copy of any Claim Notice provided to the Escrow Agent shall be redacted for any confidential or proprietary information of the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee described in clause (i).

(c) In the case of any claim for indemnification under this Article X arising from a claim of any Person who is not a Party (including any Governmental Authority) (a “Third Party Claim”), the Shareholder Representative will have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the defense, at its own expense and by counsel of its own choosing, of such Third Party Claim and any Third Party Claims related to the same or a substantially similar set of facts. If the Shareholder Representative so undertakes to defend any such Third Party Claim, it shall notify the Purchaser Representative of its intention to do so, and the Indemnitees shall reasonably cooperate with the Shareholder Representative and its counsel in the defense against, and settlement of, any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Shareholder Representative shall be expressly authorized to settle any such Third Party Claim in its sole discretion unless such settlement involves (i) any injunctive relief against or any finding or admission of any violation of Law or wrongdoing by the Indemnitee, (ii) any money damages which will be borne by the Indemnitees or (iii) a claim of a criminal nature that could reasonably be expected to lead to criminal proceedings against the Indemnitee. Subject to the foregoing, the Indemnitees shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in but not control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its own cost and expense. In any event, the Indemnitees shall cause its legal counsel to cooperate with the Shareholder Representative and its legal counsel. No Indemnitee may settle any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Shareholder Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Shareholder Representative does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, it shall nevertheless be entitled to participate in the defense of such proceeding at its own cost and expense, and the Indemnitees shall reasonably cooperate with the Shareholder Representative and its counsel in the defense against, and settlement of, any such Third Party Claim.

(d) The Purchaser Representative on behalf of the Indemnitee may not compromise or settle any Third Party Claim without consulting the Shareholder Representative.

10.5 Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification claims against the Indemnitors shall first be applied against the Escrow Shares (based on their relevant Major Shareholder Pro Rata Percentage) before any Indemnitor shall be required to make any out-of-pocket payment for indemnification, and after the Escrow Shares are exhausted, each Indemnitor’s obligation pursuant to Section 10.3 shall be determined by reference to the Shareholder Pro Rata Percentage, provided that the Indemnitors shall be entitled to use Pubco Ordinary Shares to settle some or all of its indemnification obligations. Any indemnification obligation of an Indemnitor under this Article X will be paid within ten (10) Business Days after the final non-appealable determination of such obligation in accordance with this Agreement (and the Purchaser Representative and the Shareholder Representative will provide or cause to be provided to the Escrow Agent any written instructions or other information or documents required by the Escrow Agent to do so). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any indemnification payments will be made to Pubco or its successors. With respect to any indemnification payment, the value of each Escrow Share or any other Pubco Ordinary Shares for purposes of determining the indemnification payment to be made by delivery of Escrow Shares or Pubco Ordinary Shares shall be the Pubco Share Price as of the date that the indemnification claim is finally determined in accordance with this Article X. Any Escrow Shares or any other Pubco Ordinary Shares received by Pubco as an indemnification payment shall be promptly cancelled by Pubco after its receipt thereof.

The value of each Exchange Share for purposes of determining the payment in accordance with Section 11.1(a) shall be the Redemption Price.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that an Agreed Leakage Amount has been determined pursuant to Section 11.1(a) in respect of any Leakage shall not preclude the Purchaser Representative from recovering any further amounts payable under Section 11.1 in respect of such Leakage which was not taken into account in the Agreed Leakage Amount.

(d) Any claims in respect of Leakage against a Major Shareholder in accordance with Section 11.1(b) shall first be applied against the Escrow Shares before any Major Shareholder shall be required to make any out-of-pocket payment in respect of such Leakage. The Major Shareholders shall be entitled to use Pubco Ordinary Shares to settle some or all of its out-of-pocket payment obligations in respect of Leakage. With respect to payment in respect of Leakage, the value of each Escrow Share or any other Pubco Ordinary Shares for purposes of determining the payment in accordance with Section 11.1(b) shall be the Redemption Price.

(e) Any Exchange Shares, Escrow Shares or any other Pubco Ordinary Shares received by Pubco in respect of Leakage shall be promptly cancelled by Pubco after its receipt thereof.

(g) No Major Shareholder shall be liable to make a payment under Section 11.1(b) unless Purchaser Representative has notified the Shareholder Representative in writing of the Leakage, stating in reasonable detail the nature of the breach and, if practicable, the amount claimed, on or before the date falling twelve (12) months after the Second Closing.

11.2 Legal Cost Adjustment.

(a) Three Business Days prior to the First Closing, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with a schedule, prepared in good faith, setting out the Transaction Legal Costs. The Purchaser shall have an opportunity to review and comment on such schedule, and the Purchaser and Company shall discuss in good faith any changes to such schedule, provided that if the Purchaser and Company are unable to agree to any adjustments two Business Days prior to the First Closing, then the amounts set forth in the schedule as delivered by the Company shall be for purposes of calculating Transaction Legal Costs and any adjustments to the Equity Consideration to be made as of the Second Closing.

(b) To the extent that the Transaction Legal Costs are within the Legal Expenses Collar, there shall be no adjustment to the Equity Consideration. To the extent that there is any Legal Cost Adjustment, the Legal Cost Adjustment shall be added to or deducted from the Equity Consideration, as applicable.

(c) The Purchaser Representative may pursue claims post-Closings against the Major Shareholders for any Transaction Legal Costs not agreed pre-Second Closing to the extent they are outside of the Legal Expenses Collar, but only to the extent of such Major Shareholder’s Shareholder Pro Rata Percentage thereof.

This Agreement may only be terminated in the circumstances described in Section 13.1 and pursuant to a written notice delivered by the applicable Party to the other applicable Parties, which sets forth the basis for such termination, including the provision of Section 13.1 under which such termination is made. In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no Liability on the part of any Party or any of their respective Representatives, and all rights and obligations of each Party shall cease, except: (i) Sections 9.11, 13.3, Article XIV, Article XV and this Section 13.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from Liability for any willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement or any Fraud Claim against such Party, in either case, prior to termination of this Agreement (in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, subject to Section 14.1). Without limiting the foregoing, and except as provided in Section 13.3 and this Section 13.2 (but subject to Section 14.1, and subject to the right to seek injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief in accordance with Section 15.6), the Parties’ sole right prior to the First Closing with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement by another Party or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be the right, if applicable, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.1.

With respect to Purchaser, Expenses shall include any and all deferred expenses (including fees or commissions payable to the underwriters and any legal fees) of the IPO upon consummation of a Business Combination and any Purchaser Transaction Expenses.

Article XIV
WAIVERS AND RELEASES

14.1 Waiver of Claims Against Trust.

(a) Reference is made to the IPO Prospectus. The Company and the Major Shareholders hereby represent and warrant that they have read the IPO Prospectus and understand that Purchaser has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO and the overallotment shares acquired by Purchaser’s underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of Purchaser’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by Purchaser’s underwriters) (the “Public Shareholders”) and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, Purchaser may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their Purchaser Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of its initial business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (“Business Combination”) or in connection with an amendment to Purchaser’s Organizational Documents to extend Purchaser’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Shareholders if Purchaser fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty-four (24) months after the closing of the IPO (or prior to any other deadline to consummate a Business Combination established pursuant to an amendment to Purchaser’s Organizational Documents), subject to an amendment to Purchaser’s Organizational Documents to extend Purchaser’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any franchise or income taxes, and (d) to Purchaser after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of Purchaser entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Company and the Major Shareholders hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company and the Major Shareholders nor any of their respective Affiliates do 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, 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 Purchaser or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company, the Major Shareholders or any of their respective 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 (collectively, the “Released Claims”). Each of the Company and the Major Shareholders on behalf of itself and its Affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that any such Party or any of its Affiliates 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, contracts or agreements with Purchaser 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 this Agreement or any other agreement with Purchaser or its Affiliates). The Company and the Major Shareholders each agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Purchaser and its Affiliates to induce Purchaser to enter in this Agreement, and each of the Company and the Major Shareholders further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent that the Company, the Major Shareholders or any of their respective Affiliates commences any Action based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Purchaser or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Purchaser or its Representatives, each of the Company and the Major Shareholders hereby acknowledges and agrees that its and its Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. This Section 14.1(a) shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason and continue indefinitely.

(b) Nothing in Section 14.1(a) shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company and the Major Shareholders’ right to pursue a claim against Purchaser for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (including a claim for Purchaser to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement) and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future against Purchaser’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds).

14.2 No Recourse. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, notwithstanding any rights of a Party at law or in equity, in the event of any default or breach by another Party under this Agreement, such Party’s remedies shall be restricted to enforcement of its rights against the property and assets of (i) the Company, (ii) Purchaser, (iii) Pubco and (iv) the Major Shareholders (the “Liable Parties”), and no liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by, any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, shareholder, stockholder or Affiliate of a Party (other than the Liable Parties), any stockholder, or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, shareholder, stockholder or Affiliate (other than a Liable Party) of any of the foregoing (the “Non-Liable Parties”), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, for any obligations or Liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party hereto agrees that it shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, not file, or threaten to file, any claim, suit, action or proceeding in violation of this Section 14.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will relinquish the rights of a Party to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Section 15.6 hereof. Nothing in this Section 14.2 shall limit the liability of a Non-Liable Party in the case of fraud or willful and intentional breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document.

15.4 Arbitration. Any and all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity hereof, or the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Dispute”) shall be finally resolved by arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC (the “ICC Rules”). To the extent that the ICC Rules and this Agreement are in conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The seat of arbitration shall be in New York County, State of New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators. The parties to the Dispute shall each be entitled to nominate one arbitrator, provided that where there are multiple claimants or multiple respondents, the multiple claimants jointly and the multiple respondents jointly shall nominate an arbitrator. The third arbitrator, who shall be the presiding arbitrator on the tribunal, shall be nominated by the agreement of the two party-nominated arbitrators or, if they fail to agree on a nomination within fifteen (15) days of the nomination date of the second arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be promptly selected and appointed by the ICC.

15.6 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties may have no adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, including the obligation to effect the Closings, 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.

15.7 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.

This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by (i) prior to the Second Closing Date, the Company, Pubco, the Merger Subs, Purchaser, Purchaser Representative and Shareholder Representative and (ii) after the Second Closing Date, by Pubco, Purchaser Representative and Shareholder Representative.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby (including by the Purchaser Representative or the Shareholder Representative in lieu of such Party to the extent provided in this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement by Pubco or Purchaser shall also require the prior written consent of the Purchaser Representative.

15.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents or instruments referred to herein, including any exhibits, annexes and schedules attached hereto, which exhibits, annexes and schedules are incorporated herein by reference, together with the Ancillary Documents, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein.

15.13 Purchaser Representative

(a) Each of Purchaser and, solely with respect to subsections (i), (ii), (iii) (vi) and (vii) of this Section 15.13, Pubco, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, successors and assigns, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby irrevocably appoints Alussa Energy Sponsor LLC in the capacity as the Purchaser Representative, as each such Person’s agent, attorney-in-fact and representative, with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of such Person and to act on behalf of such Person from and after the Second Closing in connection with: (i) making on behalf of such Person and taking all actions on their behalf relating to any Leakage; (ii) taking any action in respect of indemnification as contemplated under Article X, (iii), acting on behalf of such Person under the Escrow Agreement; (iv) terminating, amending or waiving on behalf of such Person any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Documents to which the Purchaser Representative is a party or otherwise has rights in such capacity; (v) signing on behalf of such Person any releases or other documents with respect to any dispute or remedy arising under this Agreement or any Ancillary Documents to which the Purchaser Representative is a party or otherwise has rights in such capacity; (vi) employing and obtaining the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors as the Purchaser Representative, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary or advisable in the performance of its duties as the Purchaser Representative and to rely on their advice and counsel; (vii) incurring and paying reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including fees of brokers, attorneys and accountants incurred pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby, and any other reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses allocable or in any way relating to such transaction; and (viii) otherwise enforcing the rights and obligations of any such Persons under this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents to which the Purchaser Representative is a party or otherwise has rights in such capacity, including giving and receiving all notices and communications hereunder or thereunder on behalf of such Person; provided, that the Parties acknowledge that the Purchaser Representative is specifically so authorized and directed to act on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the holders of Pubco Securities from and after the Second Closing (other than the Indemnitors and their respective successors and assigns). All decisions and actions by the Purchaser Representative shall be binding upon Pubco and Purchaser and their respective Subsidiaries, successors and assigns, and neither Pubco, Purchaser nor any other Party shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. The provisions of this Section 15.13 are irrevocable and coupled with an interest. The Purchaser Representative hereby accepts its appointment and authorization as the Purchaser Representative under this Agreement.

(b) The Purchaser Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document as the Purchaser Representative while acting in good faith and without willful misconduct or gross negligence, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. Pubco and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Representative from and against any and all losses, Actions, Orders, Liabilities, damages, amounts paid in settlement, costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Purchaser Representative (in its capacity as such) and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Purchaser Representative’s duties under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Purchaser Representative.
