The Business Combination Agreement does not provide for indemnification with respect to any of the representations and warranties of the parties thereto. Additionally, EO will enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to Juuce and the Company with the post-Closing directors and officers of EO, which indemnification agreements shall be effective following the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”).

In certain circumstances, the parties can demand EO’s assistance with underwritten offerings and block trades. The parties will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights.
