5.06 Financial Ability; Trust Account.

(a) As of June 30, 2020, there was at least $234,150,964.57 invested in a trust account at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Trust Account”), maintained by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, a New York limited liability trust company, acting as trustee (the “Trustee”), pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated February 7, 2019, by and between Acquiror and the Trustee (the “Trust Agreement”). Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except in accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Acquiror Organizational Documents and Acquiror’s final prospectus dated February 11, 2019. Amounts in the Trust Account are invested in United States Government securities or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Acquiror has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and is not in material default or breach under or materially delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the Trust Agreement, and no event has occurred that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default or breach thereunder. As of the date hereof, there are no claims or proceedings pending with respect to the Trust Account. Since February 7, 2019 through the date hereof, Acquiror has not released any money from the Trust Account (other than interest income earned on the principal held in the Trust Account as permitted by the Trust Agreement). As of the Effective Time, the obligations of Acquiror to dissolve or liquidate pursuant to the Acquiror Organizational Documents shall terminate, and as of the Effective Time, Acquiror shall have no obligation whatsoever pursuant to the Acquiror Organizational Documents to dissolve and liquidate the assets of Acquiror by reason of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. To Acquiror’s knowledge, as of the date hereof, following the Effective Time, no Acquiror Stockholder shall be entitled to receive any amount from the Trust Account except to the extent such Acquiror Stockholder is a Redeeming Stockholder. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other arrangements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the SEC Reports to be inaccurate or that would entitle any Person (other than a shareholder of Acquiror holding Acquiror Pre-Transaction Common Stock originally sold in Acquiror’s initial public offering who shall have elected to redeem their shares of Acquiror Pre-Transaction Common Stock pursuant to the Acquiror Organizational Documents and the underwriters of Acquiror’s initial public offering with respect to deferred underwriting commissions) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account.

(b) As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the compliance by the Company with its obligations hereunder, neither Acquiror nor Merger Sub has any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the use of funds in the Trust Account will not be satisfied or funds available in the Trust Account will not be available to Acquiror and Merger Sub on the Closing Date.

None of the SEC Reports, as of their respective dates (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date, then on the date of such filing), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The audited financial statements and unaudited interim financial statements (including, in each case, the notes and schedules thereto) included in the SEC Reports complied as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto and except with respect to unaudited statements as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) and fairly present (subject, in the case of the unaudited interim financial statements included therein, to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of complete footnotes) in all material respects the financial position of Acquiror as of the respective dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the respective periods then ended.

(c) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, assume, honor and fulfill all of the Company Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, as such Company Benefit Plans may be modified or terminated from time to time in accordance with their terms or with the consent of the applicant participant(s) therein.

8.01 Support of Transaction. Without limiting any covenant contained in Article VI or Article VII, including the obligations of the Company and Acquiror with respect to the notifications, filings, reaffirmations and applications described in Section 6.03 and Section 7.01, respectively, which obligations shall control to the extent of any conflict with the succeeding provisions of this Section 8.01, Acquiror and the Company shall each, and shall each cause their respective Subsidiaries to: (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to assemble, prepare and file any information (and, as needed, to supplement such information) as may be reasonably necessary to obtain as promptly as practicable all governmental and regulatory consents required to be obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all material consents and approvals of third parties that any of Acquiror, the Company or their respective Affiliates are required to obtain in order to consummate the Merger, including any required approvals of parties to material Contracts with the Company or its Subsidiaries; and (c) take such other action as may reasonably be necessary or as another party hereto may reasonably request to satisfy the conditions of Article IX or otherwise to comply with this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as soon as practicable.

Each of Acquiror and the Company shall furnish all information concerning it as may reasonably be requested by the other party in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Promptly after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act, Acquiror will cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to Acquiror Stockholders.

(b) Each of Acquiror and the Company shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) any response to comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any amendment to the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement filed in response thereto. If either Acquiror or the Company becomes aware that any information contained in the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or that the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement/Prospectus is required to be amended in order to comply with applicable Law, then (i) such party shall promptly inform the other and (ii) Acquiror and the Company shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 and Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Acquiror and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the holders of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, as applicable, in each case, pursuant to applicable Law and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Acquiror Organizational Documents. Each of the Company and Acquiror shall provide the other party with copies of any written comments, and shall inform such other party of any oral comments, that Acquiror receives from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement/Prospectus promptly after the receipt of such comments and shall give the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any proposed written or oral responses to such comments prior to responding to the SEC or its staff. Each of Acquiror and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, to have the Form S-4 declared effective as promptly as practicable after it is filed with the SEC and to keep the Form S-4 effective through the Closing in order to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Acquiror shall file the Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act. Acquiror agrees to include provisions in the Proxy Statement, and to take reasonable action related thereto, with respect to (i) the approval of the Acquiror A&R Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment Proposal”), (ii) the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the Merger (the “Transaction Proposal”), (iii) the election of directors effective as of the Closing (the “Director Election Proposal”), (iv) the approval of the LTIP effective as of the Closing (the “Equity Plan Proposal”), (v) the approval of the issuance of the Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Issuance Proposal”), and (vi) the approval of any other proposals reasonably agreed by Acquiror and the Company to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (together with the Amendment Proposal, the Transaction Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Equity Plan Proposal and the Issuance Proposal, collectively, the “Proposals”). Without the prior written consent of the Company, the Proposals shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) that Acquiror shall propose to be acted on by Acquiror Stockholders at the Acquiror Meeting.

(d) The Company shall solicit the Requisite Company Approval via written consent as soon as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. In connection therewith, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable: (i) establish the record date for determining the Company Stockholders entitled to provide such written consent; (ii) cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders in compliance with applicable Law, including the DGCL; and (iii) solicit written consents from the Company Stockholders to give the Requisite Company Approval. The Company will provide Acquiror with copies of all stockholder consents it receives within one (1) Business Day of receipt. If the Requisite Company Approval is obtained, then promptly following the receipt of the required written consents, the Company will prepare and deliver to its stockholders who have not consented the notice required by Section 228(e) of the DGCL and deliver to the stockholders entitled thereto the notice required by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL. Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company’s obligation to solicit written consents from the Company Stockholders to give the Requisite Company Approval in accordance with this Section 8.02(d) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by any development, including the making, commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal, or by any Change in Company Board Recommendation.

(e) Acquiror shall use reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable (and in any event, within seven (7) Business Days after the SEC Clearance Date), (i) cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be disseminated to Acquiror Stockholders in compliance with applicable Law, (ii) establish the record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Acquiror Meeting in accordance with the DGCL for a date no later than fifteen (15) days following the SEC Clearance Date and (iii) solicit proxies from the holders of Acquiror Stock to vote in favor of each of the Proposals. Acquiror shall, through the Acquiror Board, recommend to Acquiror Stockholders that they approve the Proposals and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(e), if on a date for which the Acquiror Meeting is scheduled, Acquiror has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Acquiror Stock to obtain the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, Acquiror shall have the right to make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Acquiror Meeting, provided that the Acquiror Meeting (x) is not postponed or adjourned to a date that is more than forty-five (45) days after the date for which the Acquiror Meeting was originally scheduled (excluding any adjournments or postponements required by applicable Law) and (y) is held no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Termination Date.

(a) During the Interim Period, the Company shall not take, nor shall it permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to take, whether directly or indirectly, any action to solicit, initiate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or enter into any agreement with, or encourage, or provide information to, any Person (other than Acquiror, Merger Sub and/or any of their Affiliates) concerning any Acquisition Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may (i) seek to clarify and understand the terms and conditions of any bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal made by any person or group after the date hereof that did not result from a material breach of this Agreement to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, if consummated, if the Company Board (A) shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (ii) inform any person or group making any bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal of the provisions of this Section 8.03. The Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to, or which is reasonably likely to give rise to or result in, an Acquisition Transaction.

(b) In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 8.03(a), the Company shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Acquiror of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal. Such notice to Acquiror shall indicate the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, including copies of any written Acquisition Proposal (provided, that such notice need not include the identity (or other identifying information) of the person making the Acquisition Proposal). The Company shall thereafter keep Acquiror reasonably informed as promptly as practicable (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) of any material developments affecting the terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 8.03(d), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall: (i) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus when disseminated to the Company Stockholders (and at all times thereafter prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval); (ii) withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify, in each case in a manner adverse to Acquiror or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation; (iii) adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable any Acquisition Proposal (other than those relating to the Merger); or (iv) resolve, agree or publicly propose to take any such actions (each such foregoing action or failure to act in clauses (i) through (iv) being referred to herein as a “Change in Company Board Recommendation”).

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.03(c), at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, but not after, the Company Board may: (i) make a Change in Company Board Recommendation in connection with a Company Intervening Event if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law; provided that if the Company Intervening Event relates to the receipt of a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Agreement, the Company Board also determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, further, that prior to making any such Change in Company Board Recommendation, (A) the Company shall provide Acquiror with written notice of its intention to take such action at least three (3) Business Days in advance of taking such action, specifying the reasons for the Company Board’s intention (it being understood that any material development with respect to a Company Intervening Event shall require a new notice), (B) the Company shall and shall direct its Representatives to negotiate in good faith with Acquiror during such three (3) Business Day period, to the extent Acquiror wishes to negotiate, to enable Acquiror to propose revisions or modifications to the terms of this Agreement such that it would permit the Company Board not to make a Change in Company Board Recommendation pursuant to this Section 8.03(d) and (C) at the end of such three (3) Business Day period, the Company Board shall consider in good faith any revisions or modifications to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Acquiror, and determine in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and taking into account such revisions or modifications, whether the Company Board’s failure to make a Change in Company Board Recommendation would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that if the Change in Company Board Recommendation relates to the receipt of a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Agreement, the Company Board also determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal after taking into account such revisions and modifications to this Agreement by the Acquiror. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligation to solicit written consents from the Company Stockholders to give the Requisite Company Approval in accordance with Section 8.02(d) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by any Change in Company Board Recommendation.

8.04 Acquiror Exclusivity.

(a) During the Interim Period, neither Acquiror nor Merger Sub shall take, nor shall they permit any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives to take, whether directly or indirectly, any action to solicit, initiate, continue or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or enter into any agreement with, or encourage, respond, provide information to or commence due diligence with respect to, any Person (other than the Company and/or any of its Affiliates), concerning, relating to or which is intended to give rise to or result in, any offer, inquiry, proposal or indication of interest, whether written or oral, relating to any Business Combination other than with the Company, the Company Stockholders and their respective Affiliates and Representatives (a “Business Combination Proposal”).

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.04(b), at any time prior to the receipt of the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, but not after, the Acquiror Board may: (i) make a Change in Acquiror Board Recommendation in connection with an Acquiror Intervening Event if the Acquiror Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law; provided, however, that prior to making such Change in Acquiror Board Recommendation, (A) Acquiror shall provide the Company with written notice of its intention to take such action at least three (3) Business Days in advance of taking such action, specifying the reasons for the Acquiror Board’s intention (it being understood that any material development with respect to an Acquiror Intervening Event shall require a new notice), (B) Acquiror shall and shall direct its Representatives to negotiate in good faith with the Company during such three (3) Business Day period, to the extent the Company wishes to negotiate, to enable the Company to propose revisions or modifications to the terms of this Agreement such that it would permit the Acquiror Board not to make a Change in Acquiror Board Recommendation pursuant to this Section 8.03(b) and (C) at the end of such three (3) Business Day period, the Acquiror Board shall consider in good faith any revisions or modifications to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by the Company, and determine in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and taking into account such revisions or modifications, whether the Acquiror Board’s failure to make a Change in Acquiror Board Recommendation would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 8.04 shall prohibit Acquiror or the Acquiror Board or any committee thereof from: (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of Acquiror a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to shareholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer); (ii) making any disclosure to the Acquiror Stockholders if the Acquiror Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law; or (iii) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to its stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to its stockholders).

11.06 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, 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.

11.07 Captions; Counterparts. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11.08 Schedules and Exhibits. The Schedules and Exhibits referenced herein are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. All references herein to Schedules and Exhibits shall be deemed references to such parts of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require. Any disclosure made by a party hereto in the Schedules with reference to any section or schedule of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to all other sections or schedules to which such disclosure may apply solely to the extent the relevance of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure in such Schedule. Certain information set forth in the Schedules is included solely for informational purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. The disclosure of any information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality.

11.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement), the Sponsor Agreement and that certain Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement, dated as of March 10, 2020, by and between the Company and Acquiror (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exist between the parties hereto except as expressly set forth or referenced in this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement.

11.10 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement. The approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of any of the parties hereto shall not restrict the ability of the board of directors of any of the parties hereto to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01 or to cause such party to enter into an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.10 or to waive any term or condition hereof pursuant to Section 11.01, and the parties hereto may amend or terminate this Agreement (or waive any term or condition hereof) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement whether before or after the approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of any party hereto.

11.11 Publicity. All press releases or other public communications of any nature whatsoever relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall prior to the Closing be subject to the prior mutual approval of Acquiror and the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by any such party.

11.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties hereto further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Law and to the extent necessary to give effect to the intent of the parties hereto.

11.13 Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in federal and state courts located in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party hereto in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this Section 11.13. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

11.14 Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties hereto would have entered into this Agreement. Each party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party hereto seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.14 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

11.15 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a party hereto (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such party), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any party hereto and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Company, Acquiror and Merger Sub under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.16 Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. None of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and other provisions, shall survive the Closing, and all such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and other agreements shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Effective Time (and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect thereof), except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part after the Closing, and then only with respect to any breaches occurring after the Closing, and (b) this Article XI. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing herein shall restrict any Action or liability in the case of Fraud.

11.17 Acknowledgements.

(b) Effective upon Closing, each party hereto waives, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates and Representatives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, Claims and causes of action it may have against any other party hereto or their respective Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former Affiliates or Representatives relating to the operation of any party hereto or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Schedules, or the Exhibits to this Agreement, whether arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign statute, Law, ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that it will not assert, institute or maintain any Action, suit, Claim, investigation, or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross-claim or defense, regardless of the legal or equitable theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, that makes any claim contrary to the agreements and covenants set forth in this Section 11.17. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 11.17(b) shall preclude any party hereto from seeking any remedy for Fraud. Each party hereto shall have the right to enforce this Section 11.17 on behalf of any Person that would be benefitted or protected by this Section 11.17 if they were a party hereto. The foregoing agreements, acknowledgements, disclaimers and waivers are irrevocable. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.17 shall limit, modify, restrict or operate as a waiver with respect to any rights any party hereto may have under any written agreement entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Sponsor Agreement.
