NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration and Shareholder Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on January 27, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares (and any Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion of the Founder Shares), Private Placement Units (and the underlying securities), and units (and the underlying securities) that may be issued on conversion of Working Capital Loans will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register the offer and sale of such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register the resale of such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidated damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of (i) 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the initial 21,000,000 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $7,350,000, and (ii) 6% of the gross proceeds from the Units sold pursuant to the over-allotment option, or up to

$1,732,500. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Business Combination Agreement

On December 20, 2021, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Mondee Holdings II, Inc., a travel technology company. The Business Combination Agreement was entered into by and among ITHAX Acquisition Corp., Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and Mondee Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mondee”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company will become a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) and the parties will enter into a business combination transaction (together with the Domestication, the “Business Combination”) by which (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into Mondee, with Mondee being the surviving entity in the merger (the “First Merger”), and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Mondee will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity in the merger (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions” and the closing of the Transactions, the “Closing”). As a result of the Domestication (i) each outstanding Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Shares”) and each outstanding Class B ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B Shares”) will be automatically converted into one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Ithax Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Delaware Ithax”), and (ii) pursuant to an amended and restated warrant agreement, each outstanding warrant of the Company will be replaced by a redeemable warrant of Delaware Ithax, with substantially the same terms, exercisable for a share of Class A Common Stock. In connection with the Closing, Delaware Ithax will change its name to “Mondee Holdings, Inc.”.

Registration Rights Agreement

The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, the Company, the Sponsor, Mondee and the sole stockholder of Mondee (the “Sole Stockholder”) and the other parties thereto will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which Ithax will agree to register for resale certain shares of its Class A Common Stock that are held by the parties thereto from time to time.

Additionally and pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the holders of any shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Lock-Up Shares”) issued to the Sponsor prior to the Closing or to the Sole Stockholder in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, or to the Members (as defined below) in connection with the Earn-out Agreement (as defined below), may not transfer any Lock-Up Shares during the period beginning on the date of Closing and ending on the date that is the earlier of (A) six months after the Closing, (B) the date on which the closing price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 calendar days following the Closing and (C) the date on which the Company consummates a sale, merger, liquidation, exchange offer or other similar transaction after the Closing, which results in the stockholders immediately prior to such transaction having beneficial ownership of less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the combined company.

Subscription Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) entered into subscription agreements (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have committed to purchase in a private placement 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $50,000,000 million (the “PIPE Investment”). The purchase of the PIPE Shares is conditioned upon, among other things, the consummation of the Transactions and will be consummated concurrently with the Closing. The PIPE Shares to be issued pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance on the availability of an exemption from such registration. The PIPE Subscription Agreements further provide that the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement to register the resale of the PIPE Shares within 30 calendar days after the Closing. It is expected that the PIPE Investors will be parties to the Registration Rights Agreement.

(the “Sponsor Support Agreement”) with the Sponsor and Mondee. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, the Sponsor has agreed, among other things, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Support Agreement, (i) to vote all of its Class A Shares and Class B Shares and any other equity securities of the Company that Sponsor acquired record or beneficial ownership of after the date of the Sponsor Support Agreement and prior to the Closing, other than the shares of Class A Common Stock acquired by the Sponsor pursuant to the Private Placements (collectively, the “Subject SPAC Equity Securities”) (a) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the approval of the Transactions (b) against any action, agreement, or transaction or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II under the Business Combination Agreement or that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of the Transactions from being consummated, (ii) not to redeem, elect to redeem or tender or submit any of its Subject SPAC Equity Securities for redemption in connection with the BCA or the Transactions, (iii) not to commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing. (iv) to comply with and fully perform all of its obligations, covenants and agreements set forth in the Voting Letter Agreement (as defined therein), (v) not to modify or amend any agreement, contract or arrangement between or among Sponsor and any Affiliate of such Sponsor (other than SPAC or any of its Subsidiaries), on the one hand, and SPAC or any of its subsidiaries, on the other hand, related to the Transactions, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Voting Letter Agreement, and (vi) to comply with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Voting Letter Agreement irrespective of any release or waiver thereof.

In addition, the Sponsor has agreed that if Mondee waives in writing the condition set forth in Section 7.03(e) of the Business Combination, requiring the amount of cash held by the Company to be equal to at least $150,000,000, the Sponsor shall, immediately prior to the First Merger and without any further action on its part, forfeit and surrender or cause the forfeiture and surrender to the Company for no consideration, 603,750 of its Class B Shares.

The Sponsor Support Agreement also includes, among other things, a waiver by the Sponsor of its redemption rights and anti-dilution protection as set forth in Article 36.5 of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

The Stockholder Support Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (a) the First Merger becomes effective and (b) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Earn-out Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into an earn-out agreement (the “Earn-out Agreement”) with certain signatories thereto (the “Members”), pursuant to which the Company has agreed, among other things that in connection with and upon the First Merger, the Company will issue to the Members up to 9,000,000 new shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Earn-out Shares”), with the Earn-out Shares vesting over the four-year period following Closing based on the achievement of certain milestones related to the trading price of the Company’s common stock set forth in the Earn-out Agreement.
