Governing Law

The Business Combination Agreement is governed by New York law. Any state or federal court located in New York, New York will have exclusive jurisdiction.

A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Business Combination Agreement’s full text filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference. The Agreement has been filed to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any factual or other information about Aetherium, New Quantum or any other Party to the Business Combination Agreement. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Business Combination Agreement were made as of the execution date of the Business Combination Agreement only and are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the parties in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters of fact and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement as characterizations of the actual statements of fact about the parties. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Aetherium’s public disclosures. Shareholders of Aetherium and other interested parties are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety.

Sponsor Support Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Parent, Pubco, Aetherium and the Sponsor entered into a sponsor support agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) providing that, among other things, (i) the Sponsor shall vote its shares of Common Stock in favor of the adoption and approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions, (ii) if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, the Sponsor shall reimburse Parent in cash for expenses of Aetherium paid by Parent or its affiliates on behalf of Aetherium, (iii) in connection with the payment by Aetherium of certain amount of Excise Taxes, the Sponsor shall transfer, directly or constructively (including pursuant to a forfeiture and reissuance), a number of shares of Aetherium Common Stock, to or as directed by Parent, and (iv) if applicable, the Sponsor shall, with respect to certain amounts outstanding at the Closing under any working capital loans, (A) convert such amounts into Aetherium units and/or forgive such amounts.

The foregoing description of the Sponsor Support Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the Sponsor Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement and Lock-Up Agreement

Also in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, at the Closing, Pubco, the Sponsor, Parent and certain shareholders of Parent shall enter into a Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement. The Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement will provide that Pubco will be obligated to file a registration statement after Closing to register the resale of certain securities, and will also provide the respective parties with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

PIPE Investment

In connection with entry into the Business Combination Agreement, Aetherium shall use commercially reasonable efforts as practicable, after the date of the Business Combination Agreement and during the Interim Period, to enter into and consummate subscription agreements with investors relating to a private equity investment in Aetherium or Pubco to purchase shares of Aetherium or Pubco (“PIPE Shares”) in connection with a private placement, and/or enter into backstop arrangements with potential investors, in either case on terms mutually agreeable to Parent and Aetherium, acting reasonably (a “PIPE Investment”). If Aetherium seeks a PIPE Investment, Parent, Aetherium and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective representatives to, cooperate with each other and their respective representatives in connection with such PIPE Investment and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such PIPE Investment to occur (including having Parent’s senior management participate in any investor meetings and roadshows as reasonably requested by Aetherium). At the election of Aetherium, Parent and the Company, any PIPE Investment may take the form of a convertible debt financing whereby the PIPE Investors shall enter into convertible note purchase agreements or other alternative financing, including an equity line of credit. For avoidance of doubt, there is no present requirement to pursue a PIPE Investment.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information in this report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “continue,” “should,” “would,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “future,” “outlook” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, (1) statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity and market share; (2) references with respect to the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination and the projected future financial performance of Aetherium, the Company, Pubco, Parent, and Merger Sub following the proposed Business Combination; (3) changes in the market for the Pubco’s brand and expansion plans and opportunities; (4) Pubco, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub’s economics; (5) the sources and uses of cash of the proposed Business Combination; (6) the anticipated capitalization and enterprise value of the combined company following the consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (7) the projected growth and intellectual property developments of Pubco, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub and theirs competitors; (8) anticipated short- and long-term customer growth of the Air Asia brand companies; (9) current and future potential commercial and customer relationships; (10) the ability to grow Pubco, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub’s operating companies efficiently at scale; and (11) expectations related to the terms and timing of the proposed Business Combination.

These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this report, and on the current expectations of Pubco, the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and Aetherium’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Pubco, the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and Aetherium. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Transactions described herein; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; the ability to obtain or maintain the listing of Pubco’s securities on The Nasdaq Stock Market, following the Business Combination, including having the requisite number of shareholders; costs related to the Business Combination; changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to Pubco, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub; Pubco, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub’s ability to successfully implement its growth strategy; risks relating to Pubco, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub’s operations and business, including information technology and cybersecurity risks, demand for Pubco, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub’s current and future offerings; risks related to increased competition; risks relating to potential disruption in the transportation and aviation industry; risks that Pubco, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub are unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; risks of liability or regulatory lawsuits relating to the Company’s intellectual property; risks that the post-combination company experiences difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations; the uncertain effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and certain geopolitical developments; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed Business Combination, including the risk that any required stockholder or regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed Business Combination; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Pubco, the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, or Aetherium or other following announcement of the proposed Business Combination and transactions contemplated thereby; the ability of the Company to execute its business model, including continued market acceptance of its brands and achieving sufficient volumes at acceptable levels and prices; and those risk factors discussed in documents of Pubco and Aetherium filed, or to be filed, with the SEC.

If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Aetherium, Pubco, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub presently know or that they currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Aetherium, Pubco, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this report. Aetherium, Pubco, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while Aetherium, Pubco, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Aetherium, Pubco, the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. Readers are referred to the most recent reports filed with the SEC by Aetherium. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

Article I
MERGER and transaction consideration

1.1 Merger. At the Effective Time, subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, Purchaser and Merger Sub shall consummate the Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Purchaser, following which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Purchaser shall continue as the surviving corporation. Purchaser, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation” (provided, that references to Purchaser for periods after the Effective Time shall include the Surviving Corporation).

1.2 Effective Time. On the Closing Date, the Parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by the execution, acknowledgement and filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of a certificate of merger in the form required by Section 251 of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”), with the Merger becoming effective immediately upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such other subsequent date and time as Purchaser and Parent agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and Purchaser shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, Liabilities, duties and obligations of the Surviving Corporation (including all rights and obligations with respect to the Trust Account), which shall include the assumption by the Surviving Corporation of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Merger Sub and Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, and the Surviving Corporation shall continue its existence as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Pubco.

1.4 Organizational Documents of Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, Pubco shall cause the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to be amended and restated to read in their entirety as those of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that references therein to the name and the authorized share capital of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to be as reasonably determined by Parent.

1.5 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the board of directors and executive officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be those individuals designated by Parent, each to hold office in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s amended and restated Organizational Documents until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

1.6 Effect of Merger on Issued Securities of Purchaser. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of securities of Purchaser or Merger Sub:

(a) Purchaser Units. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Purchaser Unit shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of Purchaser Class A Common Stock and one Purchaser Warrant in accordance with the terms of the Purchaser Units, which underlying Purchaser Securities shall be converted in accordance with the applicable terms of this Section 1.6.

(b) Purchaser Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Purchaser Common Stock (other than Purchaser Excluded Shares) shall be converted automatically into one Pubco Ordinary Share, following which, all Purchaser Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist. The holders of certificates previously evidencing Purchaser Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as provided herein or by Law.

(c) Purchaser Warrants. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Purchaser Public Warrant shall be automatically converted into one Pubco Public Warrant and each outstanding Purchaser Private Warrant shall be automatically converted into one Pubco Private Warrant. At the Effective Time, the Purchaser Warrants shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. Each of the Pubco Public Warrants shall have, and be subject to, substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Purchaser Public Warrants, and each of the Pubco Private Warrants shall have, and be subject to, substantially the same terms and conditions set forth in the Purchaser Private Warrants, except that in each case they shall represent the right to acquire Pubco Ordinary Shares in lieu of Purchaser Common Stock. At or prior to the Effective Time, Pubco shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Pubco Warrants remain outstanding, a sufficient number of Pubco Ordinary Shares for delivery upon the exercise of such Pubco Warrants.

(d) Purchaser Excluded Shares. At the Effective Time, any shares of Purchaser that are held by Purchaser as treasury shares (“Purchaser Excluded Shares”) shall be canceled without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for securities of Purchaser is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to Purchaser or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for securities of Purchaser in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Purchaser or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.6, none of the Surviving Corporation, Pubco or any other Party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

1.7 Effect of Merger on Merger Sub Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or the holders of any capital shares thereof, each share of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into and become one fully-paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

1.8 Surrender of Purchaser Certificates. All securities issued upon the surrender of Purchaser Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities, provided that any restrictions on the sale and transfer of Purchaser Securities shall also apply to the Pubco Securities so issued in exchange.

1.9 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Purchaser Certificates. In the event any certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Pubco shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates or securities, as the case may be, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such securities, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.6; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.10 Effect of Transactions on Issued Securities of Pubco. Upon consummation of the Transactions (and in consideration therefor, including the Company Brand Disposal, and in the amount of the Aggregate Transaction Consideration Value), on the Closing Date, (a) Pubco shall (i) cause the Company to effectuate the Castlelake Novation and (ii) issue to Parent a number of newly issued Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient of (x) the Equity Value divided by (y) $10.00 (the “Transaction Consideration Shares”); and (b) concurrently with, or immediately after, the issuance of the Transaction Consideration Shares by Pubco, Parent shall effectuate a distribution, by way of a distribution-in-specie in connection with a proposed reduction and repayment of its share capital pursuant to Section 116 of the Malaysia Companies Act 2016, of up to 51% of the Transaction Consideration Shares to the shareholders of Parent based on their respective shareholdings as of a date to be determined by Parent (such Transaction Consideration Shares to be distributed by Parent to its shareholders, the “Common Transaction Consideration Shares”).

1.11 Tax Consequences. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger and the Company Brand Disposal, taken together, are intended to qualify as exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code. The Parties hereby agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with such characterization. Each of the Parties acknowledge and agree that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the Transactions, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Merger and the Company Brand Disposal, taken together, does not qualify under Section 351 of the Code.

1.12 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Purchaser and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of Purchaser and Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective entities to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

Article II
CLOSING

2.1 Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII, the consummation of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely by electronic exchange of signatures, on a date to be agreed by Purchaser and Parent, which date shall be no later than on the second (2^nd) Business Day after all the Closing conditions in Article VIII have been satisfied or waived, or at such other date or in such other manner as Purchaser and Parent may agree (the date and time at which the Closing is actually held being the “Closing Date”).

2.2 Withholding. Each of the Parties and their respective agents (each, a “Withholding Agent”), shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the Transactions such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. If any Withholding Agent determines that any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement is subject to deduction and/or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding required in respect of compensatory amounts), then such Withholding Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide notice to such Person of any such deduction or withholding as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination, and (ii) cooperate in good faith to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including through the request and provision of any statements, forms or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding).

Purchaser and Pubco shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and cause the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the Purchaser Public Stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Purchaser’s Organizational Documents, provided that Purchaser shall not amend or supplement the Registration Statement without adequate notice to and prior consultation with the Company.

Exhibit 2.2

SPONSOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT

This SPONSOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 28, 2024, by and among Aetherium Capital Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), Aetherium Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), Capital A Berhad, a Malaysian company (“Parent”), and Capital A International, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”). Any capitalized term used but not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to such term in the BCA (as further defined below).

WHEREAS, contemporaneously herewith, Purchaser, Parent, Pubco, Aether Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), and Brand AA Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian company and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (the “Company”) have entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the BCA, (a) Parent, the Company and Pubco will effect the Company Brand Disposal and (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into Purchaser, with Purchaser continuing as the surviving corporation, as a result of which Purchaser shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger” and, together with the Company Brand Disposal and collectively with the other transactions contemplated by the BCA and the Ancillary Documents, the “Transactions”);

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Sponsor owns (i) 3,403,500 shares of Purchaser Common Stock (all such shares of Purchaser Common Stock and any shares of Purchaser Common Stock of which ownership of record or the power to vote is hereafter acquired by Sponsor prior to the termination of this Agreement being referred to herein as the “Shares”) and (ii) 528,500 Purchaser Warrants (all such Purchaser Warrants and any Purchaser Warrants of which ownership of record is hereafter acquired by Sponsor prior to the termination of this Agreement being referred to herein as the “Warrants”);

WHEREAS, in connection with Purchaser’s initial public offering, Purchaser, Sponsor and certain other parties thereto entered into a letter agreement, dated as of December 29, 2021 (the “Insider Letter”), pursuant to which Sponsor and certain other parties thereto agreed to certain voting requirements, transfer restrictions and waiver of redemption rights with respect to the securities of Purchaser owned by them; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent, Pubco, the Company, and Merger Sub to enter into the BCA, Sponsor is executing and delivering this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, which are incorporated into this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Vote. Sponsor, with respect to the Shares, hereby agrees (and agrees to execute such documents or certificates evidencing such agreement as Parent may request in connection therewith), irrevocably and unconditionally, to:

(a) vote at the Special Meeting, or any other meeting of the stockholders of Purchaser, and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of Purchaser, all of the Shares (i) in favor of the approval and adoption of the BCA, the Ancillary Documents and the Transactions, (ii) in favor of Purchaser Stockholder Approval Matters and any other matter reasonably necessary to the consummation of the Transactions and considered and voted upon by the stockholders of Purchaser, and (iii) against (A) any Acquisition Proposal relating to an Alternative Transaction with respect to Purchaser and any and all other proposals (x) for a Business Combination involving Purchaser with other Person(s) (y) that could reasonably be expected to in any material respect delay or impair the ability of Purchaser to consummate any of the Transactions, or (z) which are in competition with or materially inconsistent with the BCA or the Ancillary Documents or (B) any action or proposal involving Purchaser or Sponsor that is intended, or would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect in any material respect the Transactions or would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the Closing under the BCA not being fulfilled;

(b) execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the BCA, the Ancillary Documents and the Transactions, as shall reasonably be requested by Parent, in order to carry out the terms and provision of this Section 1, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of any applicable Ancillary Documents, customary instruments of conveyance and transfer, and any consent, waiver, governmental filing, and any similar or related documents; and

(c) except as contemplated by the BCA or the Ancillary Documents, make, or in any manner participate in, directly or indirectly, a “solicitation” of “proxies” or consents (as such terms are used in the rules of the SEC) or powers of attorney or similar rights to vote (other than a proxy granted to a representative of Sponsor to attend the vote of a meeting which is voted in accordance with this Agreement).

2. No Transfer. Sponsor agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, except as otherwise contemplated pursuant to the BCA, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), redeem, lien, pledge, distribute, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of the Shares or Warrants (collectively, a “Transfer”) or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing (unless the transferee agrees to be bound by this Agreement), (b) deposit any Shares or Warrants into a voting trust, enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto (other than a proxy granted to a representative of Sponsor to attend and vote at a meeting which is voted in accordance with this Agreement), (c) or enter into any contract, option, derivative, hedging or other agreement or arrangement or understanding (including any profit-sharing arrangement) with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of any Shares or Warrants or (d) take any action that would have the effect of preventing, impeding, interfering with or adversely affecting Sponsor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

3. No Redemption. Sponsor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, from the date hereof and until the termination of this Agreement, Sponsor shall not elect to cause or demand that Purchaser redeem any Shares now or at any time legally or beneficially owned by Sponsor, or submit, tender, or surrender any of its Shares for redemption.

4. Waiver of Anti-Dilution Protection. Sponsor hereby waives (and agrees to execute such documents or certificates evidencing such waiver as Purchaser, Parent and/or Pubco may reasonably request), forfeits, surrenders and agrees not to exercise, assert or claim, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) the ability to adjust the Initial Conversion Ratio (as defined in Purchaser Charter) pursuant to Section 4.3(b)(ii) of the SPAC Charter in connection with the Transactions, or (b) any other anti-dilution rights or similar protection with respect to its Shares. Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Section 4 shall constitute written consent waiving, forfeiting and surrendering the adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio pursuant to Section 4.3(b)(ii) of Purchaser Charter in connection with the Transactions and any other anti-dilution rights or similar protection with respect to its Shares; and (ii) such waiver, forfeiture and surrender granted hereunder shall only terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

5. Insider Letter. Each of Sponsor and Purchaser shall comply with, and fully perform all of its obligations, covenants, and agreements set forth in the Insider Letter. Without the prior written consent of the Company, each of Sponsor and Purchaser hereby agree that from the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement, none of them shall, or shall agree to, amend, modify or vary the Insider Letter, except as otherwise provided for under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Documents.

6. Excise Tax. Each of Sponsor and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to reduce any liability resulting from any Excise Taxes incurred by Purchaser, including in connection with any buyback of Purchaser Common Stock, the Redemptions or the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to timely pay, or cause to be paid, any and all such Excise Taxes, including any such Excise Taxes incurred by Purchaser prior to or after the Closing, which shall be paid as follows (and in the following order): (a) first, if (i) approved by the requisite vote of the stockholders of Purchaser at the special meeting of such stockholders to be held on March 5, 2024, and (ii) permitted by (u) the Purchaser Charter, (x) applicable Law, (y) the terms of, and subject to, the Trust Agreement, and (z) the Trustee (and subject to the approval of the Trustee), from the withdrawal of interest from the Trust Account, (b) second, from the net amount, if any, raised from the PIPE Investment pursuant to Section 7.19 of the BCA or any other equity financing that is consummated prior to, or simultaneously with, the Closing, and (c) third, if there is any amount of Excise Tax liability that is still outstanding and/or unpaid after applying Sections 6(a) and (b) above prior to or after the Closing Date, Sponsor agrees to transfer, directly or constructively (including pursuant to a forfeiture and reissuance), to Purchaser or such other Person(s) as determined by Parent, a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the amount of such outstanding and/or unpaid Excise Tax liability paid by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6(c) divided by (B) $10.00.

7. Working Capital Loans. Purchaser and Sponsor agree that, at and in connection with the Closing, any and all amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans (which, Purchaser and Sponsor agree shall not exceed an aggregate amount of $2,000,000) shall be repaid as follows (and in the following order): (a) first, from any funds in the Trust Account, (b) second, for any remaining unpaid balance of such Working Capital Loans after applying Section 7(a) above, from the net amount, if any, raised from the PIPE Investment pursuant to Section 7.19 of the BCA or any other equity and equity linked financing that is consummated prior to, or simultaneously with, the Closing, (c) third, for any remaining unpaid balance of such Working Capital Loans after applying Sections 7(a) and (b) above, Sponsor shall convert such remaining unpaid balance (not to exceed $1,500,000) into Purchaser Units, and (d) fourth, Sponsor shall forgive (and execute such documents or certificates evidencing such forgiveness as Parent may reasonably request), any such amounts that remain outstanding under such Working Capital Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such Working Capital Loans in excess of $2,000,000) after applying Section 7(c) above.

8. Expense Reimbursement. If the BCA is terminated pursuant to its terms, Sponsor shall reimburse Parent in cash for any and all Expenses of Purchaser that shall have been paid by Parent or its Affiliates on behalf of Purchaser, whether before or after the execution of the BCA.

9. Manage Redemptions. From the date hereof and until the termination of this Agreement, Sponsor shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) retain funds in the Trust Account and (ii) minimize and mitigate Redemptions, including entering into non-redemption agreements with certain stockholders of Purchaser and otherwise utilizing its Shares and Warrants, in each case, in connection with such reasonable best efforts, including directly transferring or constructively (if applicable, pursuant to a forfeiture and reissuance) the Shares and/or Warrants to such stockholders of Purchaser.

10. PIPE Investment. From the date hereof and until the termination of this Agreement, Sponsor shall use its reasonable best efforts to raise the PIPE Investment, including utilizing its Shares and Warrants in connection with such reasonable best efforts, including directly transferring or constructively (if applicable, pursuant to a forfeiture and reissuance) the Shares and/or Warrants to any such PIPE Investment investors.

11. Representations and Warranties. Sponsor represents and warrants to Parent and Pubco as follows:

(a) Sponsor has received and reviewed a copy of the BCA.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by Sponsor of this Agreement and the consummation by Sponsor of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any Law or Order applicable to Sponsor, (ii) require any consent, approval or authorization of, declaration, filing or registration with, or notice to, any person or entity, (iii) result in the creation of any Lien on any Shares or Warrants (other than pursuant to this Agreement or transfer restrictions under applicable securities laws or the Organizational Documents of Sponsor), or (iv) conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute a default under any provision of Sponsor’s Organizational Documents.

(c) Sponsor owns of record and has good, valid and marketable title to all of the Shares and Warrants free and clear of any Lien (other than pursuant to this Agreement or transfer restrictions under applicable securities Laws or the Organizational Documents of Sponsor) and has the sole power (as currently in effect) to vote the Shares and has the full right, power and authority to sell, transfer and deliver the Shares and Warrants. Sponsor does not own, directly or indirectly, (i) any other shares of Purchaser capital stock other than the Shares or (ii) any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any additional shares of the capital stock of Purchaser or any security exercisable for or convertible into the capital stock of Purchaser other than the Warrants.

(d) Sponsor has the power, authority and capacity to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Sponsor.

(e) There is no Action pending, or, to the knowledge of Sponsor, threatened, against Sponsor in writing that would reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Sponsor to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transactions.

12. Other Covenants and Agreements.

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, Sponsor will deliver to Purchaser, Parent, and Pubco a duly executed copy of the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement.

(b) Sponsor agrees to and shall be bound by and subject to Section 8.6 (No Solicitation), Section 8.13 (Public Announcements), Section 8.14 (Confidential Information), Section 8.22 (Deferred Underwriting Fees) and Section 11.1 (Waiver of Claims Against Trust) of the BCA to the same extent as such provisions apply to Purchaser, as if Sponsor was directly party thereto.

(c) Sponsor hereby waives, and agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Business Combination that Sponsor may have by virtue of ownership of the Shares and agrees not to commence or participate in any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Purchaser relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the BCA or the consummation of the Business Combination.

(d) Sponsor agrees not to take or agree or commit to take any action that would make any representation or warranty of Sponsor contained in this Agreement inaccurate in any material respect. Sponsor further agrees that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Parent, Pubco, and Purchaser to effect the Transactions, the BCA, the Ancillary Documents, and the provisions of this Agreement.

13. Termination. Other than Section 5, which shall terminate in accordance with the terms of the Insider Letter and Section 6, which shall terminate when the Excise Tax liability has been paid in full and is no longer outstanding, this Agreement, and the obligations of Sponsor under this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest of: (a) the Effective Time; (b) the termination of the BCA in accordance with its terms; or (c) the mutual written agreement of Parent, Pubco and Purchaser. Other than pursuant to (i) Section 5, which shall terminate in accordance with the terms of the Insider Letter, and (ii) Section 6, which shall terminate when the Excise Tax liability has been paid in full and is no longer outstanding, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, such termination or expiration shall not relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement occurring prior to its termination.

14. Miscellaneous.

(c) If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(d) This Agreement, the BCA and the Ancillary Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise).

(e) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(f) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance, and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Order.

(g) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction. All actions, suits or proceedings (collectively, “Action”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any federal or state court having jurisdiction located in New York, New York (or in any appellate courts thereof) (the “Specified Courts”). The parties hereto hereby (i) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of federal or state courts within the State of New York for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (ii) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in Section 14(b). Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

(h) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

(i) This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or electronic portable document format (.pdf) transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(j) Without further consideration, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such additional documents and instruments and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(k) This Agreement shall not be effective or binding upon Sponsor until such time as the BCA is executed by each of the parties thereto.

(l) If, and as often as, there are any changes in Purchaser or Purchaser Common Stock by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or business combination, or by any other means, equitable adjustment shall be made to the provisions of this Agreement as may be required so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to Purchaser, Sponsor and the Shares as so changed, and the term “Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.

(m) The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine, or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement; and (iv) the term “or” means “and/or”. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(n) Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of Purchaser, Parent, Pubco and Sponsor. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.

(o) Each party shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of investment bankers, accountants and counsel) in connection with the entering into of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that in the event of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the non-prevailing party in any such Action will pay its own expenses and the reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred by the prevailing party.

(p) This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship among Sponsor, Parent, Pubco and Purchaser, and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture, or any like relationship among the parties hereto or among any other stockholders of Purchaser entering into voting agreements with Parent, Pubco or Purchaser. Sponsor has acted independently regarding its decision to enter into this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent, Pubco or Purchaser any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shares or Warrants.
