Disclaimer
This Current Report includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and generally relate to future events or FIAC’s or DevvStream’s future financial or other performance metrics. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. These forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, FIAC’s, DevvStream’s and the combined company’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination or certain transactions described in this Current Report (including, but not limited to, certain share issuances and transfers), the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination, the timing of the completion of the proposed Business Combination or the transactions described in this Current Report, are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by FIAC and its management, and DevvStream and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and subject to material change. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the proposed transaction; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against FIAC, DevvStream, the combined company or others; (3) the inability to complete the proposed transaction due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of FIAC and DevvStream or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the proposed transaction that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations; (5) the ability to meet Nasdaq’s or another stock exchange’s listing standards following the consummation of the proposed transaction; (6) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of FIAC or DevvStream as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed transaction; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the proposed transaction; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that FIAC, DevvStream or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) FIAC’s estimates of expenses and profitability and underlying assumptions with respect to stockholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments; (12) various factors beyond management’s control, including general economic conditions and other risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the definitive proxy statement and prospectus of FIAC related to the Business Combination, filed with the SEC on August 9, 2024, in the definitive proxy statement related to the Extension Amendment Proposal, filed with the SEC on October 24, 2024, and other filings with the SEC; and (13) certain other risks identified and discussed in DevvStream’s Annual Information Form for the year ended July 31, 2023, and DevvStream’s other public filings with Canadian securities regulatory authorities, available on DevvStream’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca.
These forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith, and FIAC, DevvStream and the combined company believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and none of FIAC, DevvStream or the combined company is under any obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the reports, which FIAC has filed or will file from time to time with the SEC and DevvStream’s public filings with Canadian securities regulatory authorities. This Current Report is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in FIAC or DevvStream and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in FIAC or DevvStream. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning FIAC and DevvStream, the proposed transaction or other matters and attributable to FIAC and DevvStream or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

250 Park Avenue Ste 911
New York, NY 10177

Focus Impact Sponsor, LLC
250 Park Avenue Ste 911
New York, NY 10177

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and among Focus Impact Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “FIAC”), Focus Impact Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and the undersigned investor (the “Investor”), in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, dated September 12, 2023, as amended by the first amendment thereto, dated as of May 1, 2024, and as further amended by the second amendment thereto, dated as of August 10, 2024 (as the same maybe further amended, the “Business Combination Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Business Combination”), by and among the Company, Focus Impact Amalco Sub Ltd. (“Amalco Sub”), a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, and DevvStream Holdings Inc. (“DevvStream”), a company existing under the Laws of the Province of British Columbia, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company is expected to continue from the State of Delaware under the Delaware General Corporation Law to the Province of Alberta under the Business Corporations Act.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase in a private placement, contingent upon, and substantially concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, a number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), as set forth on the signature page hereto (the “PIPE Shares”) for the purchase price set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Subscription Amount”). In exchange for the Investor’s agreement to purchase the PIPE Shares, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer a number of shares of Class A Common Stock as set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Sponsor Shares”) substantially concurrently with the execution of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required to close for business. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Class A Common Stock, including the PIPE Shares and Sponsor Shares, will automatically convert into common shares of the Company (as continued as an Alberta, Canada corporation) pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the formula described on the signature page hereto (with the converted PIPE Shares of the continued Company sometimes referred to herein as the “New PIPE Shares” and the converted Sponsor Shares of the continued Company sometimes referred to herein as the “New Sponsor Shares”).


In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor and the Company acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1.           Subscription.

(a)         As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement (the “Sponsor Shares Transfer Date”), the Sponsor shall transfer the Sponsor Shares to the Investor and cause such shares to be registered in book entry form, free and clear of all liens (other than those arising under applicable securities laws), in the name of the Investor on the Company’s share register. If at any time prior to the closing of the Business Combination, and other than in connection with the Business Combination, the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is increased or decreased by a consolidation, combination, subdivision or reclassification of the shares of Class A Common Stock or other similar event, then, as of the effective date of such consolidation, combination, subdivision, reclassification or similar event, the Sponsor Shares shall be adjusted in proportion to such increase or decrease in the shares of Class A Common Stock. Furthermore, the Investor shall not be subject to forfeiture, surrender, claw-back, transfers, disposals, exchanges or earn-outs for any reason on the Sponsor Shares or New Sponsor Shares.

(b)          The closing of the sale, purchase and issuance of the PIPE Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination. The Closing shall occur contingent upon, and substantially concurrent with the closing of the Business Combination (the date the Closing so occurs, the “Closing Date”). Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) the Company to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that the Company reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Business Combination under the Business Combination Agreement to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to the Company on the anticipated closing date specified in the Closing Notice, (i) the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by the Company in the Closing Notice (which account shall not be an escrow account) and (ii) any other information that is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the PIPE Shares to be issued to the Investor, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name such securities are to be issued and a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable. On the Closing Date, the Company shall issue the PIPE Shares to the Investor, and subsequently cause the PIPE Shares to be registered in book entry form, free and clear of all liens (other than those arising under applicable securities laws), in the name of the Investor on the Company’s share register; provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to issue the PIPE Shares to the Investor is contingent upon the Company having received the Subscription Amount in full accordance with this Section 1. In the event the Closing does not occur within one (1) business day of the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Company shall promptly (but not later than the next business day thereafter) return the Subscription Amount to the Investor; provided that, unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 6 hereof, such return of funds shall not terminate this Agreement or relieve the Investor of its obligation to purchase the PIPE Shares at the Closing upon the delivery by the Company of a subsequent Closing Notice in accordance with this Section 1.

(b)       The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Sponsor of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the certificate of formation or the operating agreement of the Sponsor, (ii) any agreement or instrument to which the Sponsor is a party or by which it is bound, including the Letter Agreement and the Sponsor Side Letter, or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Sponsor is subject or any order, judgment or decree to which the Sponsor is subject.

The Investor shall provide the requested information set forth on Schedule A following the signature page hereto and the information contained therein is accurate and complete. The Investor is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the PIPE Shares or the Sponsor Shares. The term “affiliate” or “affiliated” as used in this Agreement shall mean, with respect to any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, joint stock company, unincorporated organization or association, trust, joint venture or other similar entity, whether or not a legal entity, or governmental entity (a “person”), any other person who directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such person. The term “control” as used in this Agreement shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms “controlled” and “controlling” have meanings correlative thereto.

(b)           The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the PIPE Shares (as issued by the Company) and the Sponsor Shares (as transferred by the Sponsor) are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the issuance of the PIPE Shares and the transfer of the Sponsor Shares by the Sponsor has not been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws.

The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the PIPE Shares and, prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Sponsor Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal counsel and tax and accounting advisors prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge, transfer or disposition of any of the PIPE Shares or the Sponsor Shares.

7

(c)           The Investor’s acquisition and holding of the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any applicable similar law.

(d)           The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has received such information as the Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares, including, the Business Combination and the business of the Company and DevvStream. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the SEC Reports. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares.

(e)          The Investor became aware of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement solely by means of direct contact between the Investor and the Company or a representative of the Company. The Investor did not become aware of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor were the PIPE Shares or the Sponsor Shares offered to the Investor, by any other means and none of the Company or its representatives or any person acting on behalf of any of them acted as investment advisor, broker or dealer to the Investor. The Investor acknowledges that the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

The Investor (i) is an institutional account as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c), (ii) is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private equity transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, and (iii) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares. The Investor is able to sustain a complete loss on its investment in the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares, has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares and has no reason to anticipate any change in circumstances, financial or otherwise, which may cause or require any sale or distribution of all or any part of the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares.

8

(g)          Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares and determined that the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in the Company. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

(h)          In making its decision to acquire the PIPE Shares and the Sponsor Shares, the Investor has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Investor.

8.           Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that FIAC is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving FIAC and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in FIAC’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated October 27, 2021 (the “Final Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of FIAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of FIAC’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of FIAC, its public shareholders and the underwriters of FIAC’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to FIAC to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Final Prospectus. For and in consideration of FIAC entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to FIAC’s public shareholders or to the underwriters of FIAC’s initial public offering in respect of their deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account), and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of publicly traded Class A Shares acquired in an open market transaction, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such Class A Shares, in accordance with FIAC’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as may be subsequently amended from time to time, and the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and FIAC, dated November 1, 2021, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed in writing with FIAC or any of their respective affiliates to not exercise such redemption right.

9.            Miscellaneous.

(a)         Neither this Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder may be transferred or assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after notifying the Company, Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its affiliates or, with the Company’s prior written consent, to another person, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Investor of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations.

The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports, as applicable, comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing, or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented, subject to (i) in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments, and such consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”) (except as may be disclosed therein or in the notes thereto, and except that the unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP), and (ii) changes to historical accounting policies of the Company in connection with any order, directive, guideline, comment or recommendation from the SEC that is applicable to the Company. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the staff of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports. For the avoidance of doubt, any restatement of the financial statements of the Company and any amendments to previously filed SEC Reports or delays in filing SEC Reports, in connection with any guidance from the SEC following the date of this Agreement, shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 4(d). Additionally, for avoidance of doubt, any amendment or modification of any SEC Report (or any agreement filed as an exhibit to any SEC Report) from its initial filing date in a subsequent filing shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 4(d).

(f)         The Company is authorized to issue up to 551,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 550,000,000 shares of common stock, including (i) 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and 50,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share “Class B Common Stock”), and (ii) 1,000,000 undesignated shares of preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”). As of the date of this Agreement, the Company has 2,452,731 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, including 1,702,731 shares of Class A Common Stock and 750,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, and no shares of Preferred Stock issued or outstanding. There are no shareholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting of any securities of the Company, other than (1) as set forth in the SEC Reports and (2) as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports or as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the other agreements and arrangements referred to therein, as of the date hereof, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or acquire from the Company any equity interests in the Company, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such equity interests.
 
(g)         As of the date hereof, there is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company by Nasdaq or the SEC, respectively, to prohibit the listing of the Class A Common Stock, or the registration of the Class A Common Stock under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
 
(h)        Assuming the accuracy of the Investor’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 5, no registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) is required for the issuance of the Consideration Shares to the Investor hereunder. The Consideration Shares (i) were not offered to the Investor by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered to the Investor in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.
 
5.        Investor Representations and Warranties. The Investor represents and warrants to the Company that:
 
(a)       The Investor (i) is an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7), (8), (9), (12) or (13) of Regulation D under the Securities Act), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A hereto, (ii) is acquiring the Consideration Shares only for its own account and not for the account of others, and (iii) is not acquiring the Consideration Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any securities laws of the United States or any other jurisdiction. The Investor shall provide the requested information set forth on Schedule A following the signature page hereto and the information contained therein is accurate and complete. The Investor is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Consideration Shares. The term “affiliate” or “affiliated” as used in this Agreement shall mean, with respect to any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, joint stock company, unincorporated organization or association, trust, joint venture or other similar entity, whether or not a legal entity, or governmental entity (a “person”), any other person who directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such person. The term “control” as used in this Agreement shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms “controlled” and “controlling” have meanings correlative thereto.
 
5

(b)        The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Consideration Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the issuance of the Consideration Shares has not been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Consideration Shares may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Investor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (i) to the Company or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in each of clauses (i) and (iii) in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any book entries representing the Consideration Shares shall contain a restrictive legend to such effect. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Consideration Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, the Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Consideration Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Consideration Shares. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Consideration Shares will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal counsel and tax and accounting advisors prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge, transfer or disposition of any of the Consideration Shares.
 
(c)        The Investor’s acquisition and holding of the Consideration Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any applicable similar law.
 
(d)         The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has received such information as the Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Consideration Shares, including, the Business Combination and the business of the Company and DevvStream. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the SEC Reports. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Consideration Shares.
 
6

(e)         The Investor became aware of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement solely by means of direct contact between the Investor and the Company or a representative of the Company. The Investor did not become aware of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor were the Consideration Shares offered to the Investor, by any other means and none of the Company or its representatives or any person acting on behalf of any of them acted as investment advisor, broker or dealer to the Investor. The Investor acknowledges that the Consideration Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation, other than the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 4 of this Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company.
 
(f)        The Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Consideration Shares, including, without limitation, those set forth in the SEC Reports. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Consideration Shares, and the Investor has had an opportunity to seek, and has sought such accounting, legal, business and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision and the Investor has made its own assessment and satisfied itself concerning relevant tax and other economic considerations relative to its purchase of the Consideration Shares. The Investor (i) is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private equity transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities and (ii) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the Consideration Shares. The Investor is able to sustain a complete loss on its investment in the Consideration Shares, has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in the Consideration Shares and has no reason to anticipate any change in circumstances, financial or otherwise, which may cause or require any sale or distribution of all or any part of the Consideration Shares.
 
(g)         Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Consideration Shares and determined that the Consideration Shares are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in the Company. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
 
(h)        In making its decision to acquire the Consideration Shares, the Investor has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Investor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor has not relied on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf of any placement agent or any of its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing concerning the Company, DevvStream, the Business Combination, the Business Combination Agreement, this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the Consideration Shares.
 
7

(i)          The Investor acknowledges and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Consideration Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.
 
(j)         The Investor, if not an individual, has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation, with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
 
(k)         The execution, delivery and performance by the Investor of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are within the powers of the Investor, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which the Investor is a party or by which the Investor is bound, and, if the Investor is not an individual, will not conflict with or violate any provisions of the Investor’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its incorporation or formation papers, bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. (A) The signature on this Agreement is genuine, (B) the signatory of this Agreement, if the Investor is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if the Investor is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, (C) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Investor or the investment advisor to which the Investor has delegated decision making authority over investments and (D) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.
 
(l)         The Investor is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, the Executive Order 13599 List, the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, or the Sectoral Sanctions Identification List, each of which is administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) owned, directly or indirectly, or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, one or more persons that are named on the OFAC Lists; (iii) organized, incorporated, established, located, resident or born in, or a citizen, national or the government, including any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk or Luhansk regions of Ukraine or any other country or territory embargoed or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States, (iv) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (v) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (each, a “Prohibited Investor”). The Investor agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that the Investor is permitted to do so under applicable law. If the Investor is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including, without limitation, the OFAC List.
 
8

(m)       The Investor does not have, as of the date hereof, and during the thirty (30) day period immediately prior to the date hereof such Investor has not entered into, any “put equivalent position” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act or short sale positions with respect to the securities of the Company.
 
(n)        The Investor is not currently (and at all times through Closing will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act), other than a group consisting solely of the Investor and its affiliates.
 
6.       Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier of (a) the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Agreement and (b) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful and material breach of any covenant, agreement, obligation, representation or warranty hereunder prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful and material breach. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon notice to the other party in the event of a material breach of this Agreement.  The Company or the Investor may terminate this Agreement at any time in the event that (i) there shall be any law that makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited or (ii) any Governmental Authority shall have issued any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, stipulation, determination or award (“Governmental Order”) restraining, enjoining, or denying the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Governmental Order shall have become final and non-appealable.
 
7.        Miscellaneous.
 
(a)        Neither this Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to either the Company or the Investor hereunder may be transferred or assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after notifying the Company, Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its affiliates or, with the Company’s prior written consent, to another person, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Investor of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations.
 
9

(b)        Other than as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, each party shall pay its own fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, including the fees, costs and expenses of such party’s financial advisors, accountants and counsel.
 
(c)     The Investor acknowledges that the Company and DevvStream will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, including Schedule A hereto. Prior to the Closing, each of the Company and the Investor agree to promptly notify the other in writing if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations or warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Company or the Investor, as the case may be, shall notify the other if they are no longer accurate in any respect).
 
(d)        The Investor agrees that, from the date hereof until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, none of the Investor or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor will engage in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or similar instrument, including without limitation equity repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements, however described or defined) designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale, loan, pledge or other disposition or transfer (whether by the Investor or any other person), in each case, solely to the extent it has the same economic effect as a “short sale” (as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act), of any economic consequences of ownership (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any consequences resulting solely from foreign exchange fluctuations), in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, physically or synthetically, of any securities of the Company or Devvstream prior to the Closing, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of securities of the Company or Devvstream, in cash or otherwise, or to publicly disclose the intention to undertake any of the foregoing.
 
(e)         The Company and DevvStream are entitled to rely upon this Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
 
(f)          All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.
 
(g)         This Agreement may not be terminated other than pursuant to the terms of Section 6 above. The provisions of this Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto. No failure or delay of either party hereto in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

10

(h)        This Agreement including the schedule hereto constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns, except that Devvstream shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
 
(i)         Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
 
(j)        If any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.
 
(k)       This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including, without limitation, by facsimile, docusign or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
 
(l)       The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to seek to specifically enforce the Investor’s obligations hereunder on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
 
(m)       Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder to be given to the Investor shall be in writing and either delivered personally, emailed or sent by overnight mail via a reputable overnight carrier, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to such address(es) or email address(es) set forth on the signature page hereto, and shall be deemed to be given and received (i) when so delivered personally, (ii) when sent, with no mail undeliverable or other rejection notice, if sent by email, or (iii) three (3) business days after the date of mailing to the address below or to such other address or addresses as the Investor may hereafter designate by notice given hereunder:

THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE CHANCERY COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE (OR, IF THE CHANCERY COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE DECLINES TO ACCEPT JURISDICTION, THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE) SOLELY IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT AND IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING FOR INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT THAT IS NOT SUBJECT THERETO OR THAT SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SAID COURTS OR THAT VENUE THEREOF MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS, AND THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO AND GRANT ANY SUCH COURT JURISDICTION OVER THE PERSON OF SUCH PARTIES AND OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH DISPUTE AND AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 7(M) OF THIS AGREEMENT OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF.
 
EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

13

9.       Registration Rights. The Company and Investor acknowledge and agree that they have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement of even date hereof pursuant to which the Company, within forty-five (45) business days of the closing of the Business Combination, shall use its reasonable best efforts to file (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the Consideration Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the 60th business day (or 105th business day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the closing of the Business Combination. The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by the precise terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
10.      Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that FIAC is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving FIAC and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in FIAC’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated October 27, 2021 (the “Final Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of FIAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of FIAC’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of FIAC, its public shareholders and the underwriters of FIAC’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to FIAC to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Final Prospectus. For and in consideration of FIAC entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to FIAC’s public shareholders or to the underwriters of FIAC’s initial public offering in respect of their deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account), and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of publicly traded Class A Shares acquired in an open market transaction, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such Class A Shares, in accordance with FIAC’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as may be subsequently amended from time to time, and the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and FIAC, dated November 1, 2021, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed in writing with FIAC or any of their respective affiliates to not exercise such redemption right.
 
11.     Disclosure. The Company shall within four business days following the date of this Agreement, issue one or more press releases or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby. Within two business days of this Agreement, the Company will provide both the press release and the Form 8-K for review by Investor and its counsel.

e.           "Registration Statement" means one or more registration statements of the Company covering the sale of the Registrable Securities.

2.           REGISTRATION.

a.        Mandatory Registration.  the Company shall, on or before 45 days from the date of this Agreement, file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities as shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Investor, including but not limited to under Rule 415 under the Securities Act at then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), as mutually determined by both the Company and the Investor in consultation with their respective legal counsel. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable comments.  The Investor shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement and any amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date, but in any event within 120 days from the date hereof (the “Effective Date”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective, including but not limited to pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale by the Investor of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investor may sell all of the Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities and (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby and no Available Amount remains under the Carbon Credit Purchase Agreement (the "Registration Period"). The Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

b.          Rule 424 Prospectus.  the Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement.  The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all such comments.  The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon such prospectus within one (1) Business Day from the date the Investor receives the final pre-filing version of such prospectus.


c.          Sufficient Number of Shares Registered.  In the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall amend the Registration Statement or file a new Registration Statement (a “New Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(a)) as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than thirty (30) Business Days after the necessity therefor arises, subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.  the Company shall use it reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment and/or New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.  The Company agrees that it shall not file any such Other Registration Statement unless all of the Registrable Securities have been included in such Other Registration Statement or otherwise have been registered for resale as described above.

d.          Offering.  If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), or if after the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement (with the prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the Investor and its legal counsel as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid.  In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall file one or more New Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus contained therein is available for use by the Investor.  Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s obligations to register Registrable Securities (and any related conditions to the Investor’s obligations) shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement of the SEC or the Staff as addressed in this Section 2(d).

3.           RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2 including on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

a.         the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement.

e.          As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such registration statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request).  the Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a registration statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by email or facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a registration statement would be appropriate.


f.          the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

g.          the Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the Principal Market.  the Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section.

i.            the Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Common Stock.

Subject to Section 6(c) hereof, the Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any such person from whom the person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any person controlling such person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); and (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

b.           In connection with any Registration Statement in which the Investor is participating, the Investor agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a “Company Party” and, collectively, the “Company Parties”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with the Investor Information; and, subject to Section 6(c) and the below provisos in this Section 6(b), the Investor shall reimburse a Company Party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Company Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the applicable sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Company Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.


c.           Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effectuated without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent.  No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.  Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

c.         The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred; provided that any Person receiving any payment pursuant to this Section 6 shall promptly reimburse the Person making such payment for the amount of such payment to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Person receiving such payment was not entitled to such payment.

d.          The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

7.           CONTRIBUTION.

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.


8.           REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.

With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration ("Rule 144"), the Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, to:

Section 2.02 Advance Notice. At any time during the Commitment Period, the Company may require the Investor to purchase Common Stock by delivering an Advance Notice to the Investor, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.01, and in accordance with the following provisions:


a.
The Company shall, in its sole discretion, select the amount of the Advance, not to exceed the Maximum Advance Amount, it desires to issue and sell to the Investor in each Advance Notice and the time it desires to deliver each Advance Notice.


b.
There shall be no mandatory minimum Advances and no non-usages fee for not utilizing the Commitment Amount or any part thereof.


c.
The Advance Notice shall be valid upon delivery to Investor in accordance with Exhibit C.

Section 2.03 Date of Delivery of Advance Notice; Issuance of Shares.


a.
An Advance Notice shall be deemed delivered on the day it is received by the Investor if such notice is received by email prior to 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time (or later if waived by the Investor in its sole discretion) in accordance with the instructions set forth on Exhibit C. Following the receipt of such Advance Notice the Investor shall provide the Company with a confirmation of its receipt of such Advance Notice, which receipt may be in the form of any email or orally (each, an “Advance Notice Confirmation”).


b.
Promptly after receipt of the Advance Notice with respect to each Advance (and, in any event, not later than one (1) Trading Days after such receipt), the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, issue in the Investor’s name in a DRS account or accounts at the transfer agent all the shares of Common Stock purchased by Investor pursuant to such Advance. Such Common Stock shall constitute “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and the certificate or book-entry statement representing such Shares shall bear the restrictive legend under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Investor is to resell the Common Stock in a manner described under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with this Agreement, the Investor shall concurrently with the delivery by the Investor to the Company of such Advance Notice Confirmation deliver to the transfer agent and Company the items set forth in clause (b) of the definition of DWAC Shares with respect to such resold shares of Common Stock and such other items as the transfer agent or counsel to the Company may reasonably request (collectively, the “Transfer Agent Deliverables”). With respect to shares of Common Stock or Commitment Fee Shares to be resold by the Investor as described in the preceding sentence and as to which the Investor has timely delivered the Transfer Agent Deliverables with respect to such shares of Common Stock or Commitment Fee Shares, such securities shall be delivered and credited by the transfer agent using the Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program maintained by DTC (or any similar program hereafter adopted by DTC performing substantially the same function) to the account with DTC of the Investor’s designated Broker-Dealer as specified in the Transfer Agent Deliverables with respect to such securities at the time such securities would otherwise have been required to be delivered to the Investor in accordance with this Agreement, which securities (x) shall only be used by the Investor’s Broker-Dealer to deliver such securities to DTC for the purpose of settling the Investor’s share delivery obligations with respect to the sale of such Common Stock or Commitment Fee Shares (as applicable), which may include delivery to other accounts of such Broker-Dealer and inclusion in the number of shares of Common Stock or Commitment Fee Shares delivered by that Broker-Dealer in “net settling” that Broker-Dealer’s trading of shares of Common Stock, including its positions with the Broker-Dealers of the respective persons who purchase such securities from the Investor, and (y) shall remain “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act until so delivered. The Company and the Investor acknowledge that such Commitment Fee Shares or shares of Common Stock (as applicable) credited to the account with DTC of the Investor’s designated Broker-Dealer shall be eligible for transfer to the third-party purchasers of such Commitment Fee Shares or shares of Common Stock or their respective Broker-Dealers as DWAC Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued, and any fractional amounts shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of shares.



Section 2.04 Advance Limitations. Regardless of the amount of an Advance requested by the Company in the Advance Notice, the final amount of an Advance pursuant to an Advance Notice shall be reduced in accordance with each of the following limitations:


a.
Ownership Limitation; Commitment Amount. In no event shall the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Investor pursuant to an Advance cause the aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) by the Investor and its Affiliates as a result of previous issuances and sales of Common Stock to Investor under this Agreement to exceed 9.99% of the then outstanding Common Stock (the “Ownership Limitation”). In connection with each Advance Notice delivered by the Company, any portion of an Advance that would (i) cause the Investor to exceed the Ownership Limitation or (ii) cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued and sold to the Investor hereunder to exceed the Commitment Amount shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company, and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the amount of the Advance requested by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event.


b.
Registration Limitation. In no event shall an Advance exceed the amount registered under the Registration Statement then in effect (the “Registration Limitation”) or the Exchange Cap to the extent applicable. In connection with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Advance that would exceed the Registration Limitation or Exchange Cap shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate amount of the requested Advance by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion in respect of each Advance Notice; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event.


c.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that upon the Investor’s receipt of a valid Advance Notice the parties shall be deemed to have entered into an unconditional contract binding on both parties for the purchase and sale of Common Stock pursuant to such Advance Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and subject to Applicable Law and Section 3.08 (Trading Activities), the Investor may sell Common Stock during the Pricing Period.

Section 2.06 Closings. The closing of each Advance and each sale and purchase of Common Stock related to each Advance (each, a “Closing”) shall take place on the applicable Settlement Date in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The parties acknowledge that the Purchase Price is not known at the time the Advance Notice is delivered (at which time the Investor is irrevocably bound) but shall be determined on each Closing based on the daily prices of the Common Stock that are the inputs to the determination of the Purchase Price as set forth further below. In connection with each Closing, the Company and the Investor shall fulfill each of its obligations as set forth below:


a.
On the Settlement Date in respect of an Advance, the Investor shall deliver to the Company a written document, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each a “Settlement Document”), setting forth the final number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by the Investor (taking into account any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.04), the Purchase Price, the aggregate proceeds to be paid by the Investor to the Company, and a report by Bloomberg, L.P. indicating the lowest intraday sale price for the Common Stock for each of the Trading Days during the Pricing Period (or, if not reported on Bloomberg, L.P., another reporting service reasonably agreed to by the parties), in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Investor shall pay to the Company the aggregate purchase price of the Common Stock (as set forth in the Settlement Document) in cash in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company in writing and transmit notification to the Company that such funds transfer has been requested.


b.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if on any day during the Pricing Period (i) the Company notifies Investor that a Material Outside Event set forth in Section 6.08(i) through (v) has occurred or if the Material Outside Event set forth in Sections 6.08(vi) or (vii) shall have occurred, or (ii) the Company notifies the Investor of a Black Out Period, the parties agree that the pending Advance shall end (the “Advance Halt”) and the final number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased by the Investor at the Closing for such Advance shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock sold by the Investor during the applicable Pricing Period prior to the notification from the Company of a Material Outside Event or Black Out Period.




c.
On or prior to the Settlement Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings expressly required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement or as otherwise reasonably required in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein.

Section 2.07 Failure to Timely Deliver.


a.
If on or prior to the Required Delivery Date either (I) if the transfer agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to Investor and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit the balance account of Investor or Investor’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which Investor submitted for legend removal by Investor pursuant to clause (ii) below or otherwise or (II) if the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the transfer agent fails to credit the balance account of Investor or Investor’s designee with DTC for any shares of Common Stock submitted for legend removal by Investor, in each case, if and only if the Investor has delivered the Transfer Agent Deliverables in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03(b) above, and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day (x) so notify Investor and (y) deliver the Common Stock electronically without any restrictive legend in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03(b) above, and if on or after such Trading Day Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by Investor of shares of Common Stock submitted for legend removal by Investor that Investor is entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day after Investor’s request and in Investor’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to Investor in an amount equal to Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, borrow fees and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, for the Common Stock so purchased) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so deliver such certificate or credit Investor’s balance account shall terminate and such shares shall be cancelled, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so deliver to Investor a certificate or certificates or credit the balance account of Investor or Investor’s designee with DTC representing such number of shares of Common Stock that would have been so delivered if the Company timely complied with its obligations hereunder and pay cash to Investor in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock that the Company was required to deliver to Investor by the Required Delivery Date multiplied by (B) the price at which Investor sold such shares of Common Stock in anticipation of the Company’s timely compliance with its delivery obligations hereunder. Nothing shall limit Investor’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) as required pursuant to the terms hereof.


b.
In the event the Investor sells shares of Common Stock after receipt of an Advance Notice and the Company fails to perform its obligations as mandated in Section 2.03, the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Article V hereto and in addition to any other remedy to which the Investor is entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance, it will hold the Investor harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including, without limitation, all brokerage commissions, borrow fees, legal fees and expenses and all other related out-of-pocket expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and acknowledges that irreparable damage may occur in the event of any such default, other than any such loss, claim, damage or expenses directly arising from the fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Investor (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of court having jurisdiction over such matter). It is accordingly agreed that the Investor shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent such breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce (subject to the Securities Act and other rules of the Principal Market or Trading Market), without the posting of a bond or other security, the terms and provisions of this Agreement.



Section 2.08 RETURN OF SURPLUS. If the value of the Shares delivered to the Investor causes the Company to exceed the Commitment Amount, then the Investor shall return to the Company the surplus amount of Shares associated with such Advance.

Section 2.09 Completion of Resale Pursuant to the Registration Statement. After the Investor has purchased the full Commitment Amount and has completed the subsequent resale of the full Commitment Amount pursuant to the Registration Statement, Investor will notify the Company that all subsequent resales are completed and the Company will be under no further obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

Section 4.10  Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company has not received written notification any unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such claim where failure to pay would cause a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION

The Investor and the Company represent to the other the following with respect to itself:

Section 5.01  Indemnification by the Company. In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, its investment manager, and each of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, partners, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and each person who controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Investor Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and reasonable and documented expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Investor Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Investor Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any related prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for inclusion therein; (b) any material misrepresentation or breach of any material representation or material warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby; or (c) any material breach of any material covenant, material agreement or material obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability is the direct result of the fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Investor (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of court having jurisdiction over such matter). To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable under Applicable Law, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under Applicable Law.



Section 5.02  Notice of Claim. Promptly after receipt by an Investor Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Investor Indemnitee, shall, if a claim for an Indemnified Liability in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Article V, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of liability under this Article V except to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Investor Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Investor Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the actual and reasonable third party fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Investor Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Investor Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Investor Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Investor Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Investor Indemnitee which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Investor Indemnitee reasonably apprised as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Investor Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Investor Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Investor Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received and payment therefor is due, subject to receipt by the indemnifying party of an undertaking to repay any amounts that such party is ultimately not entitled to receive as indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 5.03 Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Article V are not exclusive and shall not limit any right or remedy which may be available to any indemnified person at law or equity. The obligations of the parties to indemnify or make contribution under this Article V shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

The Company acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have the ability to request any Advances until the effectiveness of a Registration Statement registering the applicable Registrable Securities for resale by the Investor. The Company and the Investor shall mutually agree on a good faith estimate of the number of Commitment Fee Shares which may be issuable pursuant to Section 13.04 for purposes of registration; provided, however, that in the event such estimated number of shares have been (i) underestimated, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to register additional Commitment Fee Shares promptly after such underestimation is made known to the Company and (ii) overestimated, the Company shall treat (and disclose in the registration statement the same) such excess shares as Common Stock issuable and saleable to the Investor pursuant to Advances hereunder.


b.
Maintaining a Registration Statement. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of any Registration Statement that has been declared effective at all times during the Commitment Period, provided, however, that if the Company has received notification pursuant to Section 2.07 that the Investor has completed resales pursuant to the Registration Statement for the full Commitment Amount, then the Company shall be under no further obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, when filed, each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) and the prospectus (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such Registration Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. During the Commitment Period, the Company shall notify the Investor promptly if (i) the Registration Statement shall cease to be effective under the Securities Act, (ii) the Common Stock shall cease to be authorized for listing on the Principal Market or Trading Market, (iii) the Common Stock cease to be registered under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or (iv) the Company fails to file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of it as a reporting company under the Exchange Act (subject to applicable grace periods).

The Investor shall furnish comments on a Registration Statement and any related amendment and supplement to a Registration Statement to the Company within 24 hours of the receipt thereof. If the Investor fails to provide comments to the Company within such 24-hour period, then the Registration Statement, related amendment or related supplement, as applicable, shall be deemed accepted by the Investor in the form originally delivered by the Company to the Investor.

1 - Includes identical assumptions and adjustments to the maximum redemptions scenario of the effective S-4 filed in July 2024 - except for changes in balance sheet accounts (i.e., cash, sponsor amount available to be paid, historical book equity)
2- Sum of historical results of each of FIAC as of 6/30/2024 and DevvStream's preliminary, unaudited, unreviewed trial balance as of July 31, 2024 and pro forma adjustments as previously disclosed
3 - Carbon Credit investment - based on the presumption that the fair value of DevvStream's' stock is the most reliable measure of value to measure DevvStream's cost for the asset acquisition, resulting in a value of ~$13.0M.  If this were a business combination, or the fair value of the underlying assets were more reliably determinable, the results may differ materially.
4 - Monroe Sequestration Partners LLC Investment - Similar to the adjustment above, DevvStream's' stock is presumed to be the most reliable measure of value to measure DevvStream's cost for the asset acquisition, resulting in a value of $8.0M. If this were a business combination, or the fair value of the underlying assets were more reliably determinable, the results may differ materially.
5 - Certain of FIAC and DevvStream's vendors have agreed to equitize all or a portion of their expenses in exchange for Sponsor Shares to be received prior to closing and then exchanged into New PubCo shares in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement. The result is the removal of these liabilities, offset by charges to equity (either paid in capital or accumulated deficit/income)
6 - Certain investors have agreed to repurchase redeemed shares at a price of $11.19 upon closing, effectively reversing the impacts of those redemptions, providing cash to the Company
7 - The Company has secured emergence financing of $2.25M, which is reflected as an equity investment
8 - Certain Transaction costs have not yet been accrued. Of the total estimated costs, a large portion has agreed to be equitized. The remaining balance, reflects the total costs estimated, less any equitizations. This also reflects additional sponsor admin payable charges, less the amounts paid with available cash at closing as part of the pro forma adjustments from 1) above. While this estimate is based on management's best view as of the date hereof, actual transaction costs, or other liabilities of either entity that have not yet been recorded may be materially different.
9 - Other Limitations:
Equity impacts do not split any impact/separate recognition of Common Stock, Par Value, Gain or Loss or other classification considerations.
Final or draft agreements of the contemplated transactions have not been reviewed in detail for accounting implications, the resulting classification or measurement could be materially different.
Underlying share counts, financial statement footnotes, and events subsequent to the latest balance sheet have not been incorporated unless otherwise noted herein, these impacts, including the share counts, share conversions or share prices, could have a materially different result.
An "Other Assets" account has been established to reflect the anticipated accounting for the investments in the carbon credits and the Project Monroe investment. Which are assumed to be asset acquisitions, for which DevvStream stock is the most reliable measure of value
