The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (a) the Domestication is intended to be treated as a “reorganization” described in Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code (the “Domestication Intended Tax Treatment”) and (b) the SPAC Merger, the Company Merger, and the Foundation Transaction, taken together (the “Business Combination Transactions”), are intended to be treated as an integrated transaction that is described in Section 351 of the Code (the “Business Combination Intended Tax Treatment” and, together with the Domestication Intended Tax Treatment, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The Parties hereby agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, unless otherwise required pursuant to a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. From and after the date of this Agreement, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Business Combination Transactions to qualify for the Business Combination Intended Tax Treatment, and shall not take any action, cause any action to be taken, fail to take any action or cause any action to fail to be taken (in each case other than any action specifically provided for or prohibited by this Agreement), which action or failure to act could reasonably be expected to prevent the Business Combination Transactions from qualifying for the Business Combination Intended Tax Treatment. Each of the Parties acknowledge and agree that each (a) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Domestication and/or the Business Combination Transactions do not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, respectively. If the SEC or any other Governmental Authority requests or requires that an opinion be provided on or prior to the Closing in respect of the Intended Tax Treatment, SPAC will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Tax advisors to provide any such opinion, subject to customary assumptions and limitations, and each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to reasonably cooperate with one another and their respective Tax advisors with respect to such opinion, including using reasonable best efforts to deliver to the relevant counsel certificates (dated as of the necessary date and signed by such Party or its Affiliate, as applicable) containing such customary representations as are necessary or appropriate for such counsel to render such opinion.

2.14  Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the SPAC Merger Effective Time and the Company Merger Effective Time, as applicable, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the SPAC Surviving Subsidiary or Company Surviving Subsidiary, as applicable, with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of SPAC and SPAC Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company and Company Merger Sub, on the other hand, the officers and directors of SPAC, SPAC Merger Sub, the Company and Company Merger Sub, as applicable, 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.

2.15  Withholding. Each of Pubco, the SPAC Surviving Subsidiary, the Company Surviving Subsidiary and the Exchange Agent (without duplication) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any applicable Law; provided, however, that the relevant payor will reasonably cooperate with the relevant payee prior to the making of such deductions and withholding payments to determine whether any such deductions or withholding payments (other than with respect to compensatory payments, if any) are required under applicable Law and in obtaining any available exemption or reduction of, or otherwise minimizing to the extent permitted by applicable Law, such deduction and withholding. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and to that extent shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. The Parties acknowledge that no withholding is expected to be required under applicable U.S. federal income Tax Law as in effect as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent any Party becomes aware of any obligation to deduct or withhold from amounts otherwise payable, issuable or transferable pursuant to this Agreement, such Party shall notify the other Parties as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to obtain any certificates or other documentation required in respect of such withholding obligation.

ARTICLE XI WAIVERS AND RELEASES

11.1 Waiver of Claims Against Trust. The Company, Pubco, the Pubco Subsidiaries and the Seller hereby represents and warrants that it has read the IPO Prospectus and understands that SPAC has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the holders of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issued and sold as part of the SPAC Units in the IPO (the “Public Shareholders”) and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of its initial Business Combination or in connection with an amendment to the SPAC Memorandum and Articles to extend SPAC’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination or with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, (b) to the Public Shareholders if SPAC fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty four (24) months after the closing of the IPO, subject to further extension by amendment to the SPAC Memorandum and Articles, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, as necessary to pay any income taxes, and (d) to SPAC after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company, Pubco, the Pubco Subsidiaries and the Seller hereby agree on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, that none of the Company, Pubco, the Pubco Subsidiaries, the Seller nor any of their respective Affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). The Company, Pubco, the Pubco Subsidiaries and the Seller on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates hereby irrevocably waive any Released Claims that any such Party or any of its Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements hereunder and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with SPAC or its Affiliates). The Company, Pubco, the Pubco Subsidiaries and the Seller each agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by SPAC to induce SPAC to enter in this Agreement, and the Company, Pubco, the Pubco Subsidiaries and the Seller each further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent the Company, Pubco, the Pubco Subsidiaries, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Trust Account, each such Party hereby acknowledge and agree that such Party’s and its Affiliates’ sole remedy with respect to monetary relief shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. Nothing in this Section 11.1 shall amend, limit, alter, change, supersede or otherwise modify the right of the Company, Pubco, the Pubco Subsidiaries and the Seller to (a) bring any action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief or (b) bring or seek a claim for damages against SPAC, or any of its successors or assigns, for any breach of this Agreement (but such claim shall not be against the Trust Account or any funds distributed from the Trust Account). This Section 11.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

11.2 Release and Covenant Not to Sue. Effective as of the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that owns any share or other equity interest in or of the Seller (the “Releasing Persons”), hereby releases and discharges the Company, SPAC, Pubco and the Pubco Subsidiaries from and against any and all Actions, obligations, agreements, debts and Liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, both at law and in equity, which such Releasing Person now has, has ever had or may hereafter have against such Parties arising on or prior to the Closing Date or on account of or arising out of any matter occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, including any rights to indemnification or reimbursement from the Company, whether pursuant to its Organizational Documents, Contract or otherwise, and whether or not relating to claims pending on, or asserted after, the Closing Date. From and after the Closing, each Releasing Person hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any Action, or commencing or causing to be commenced, any Action of any kind against any of the Parties or their respective Affiliates, based upon any matter purported to be released hereby. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the releases and restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to any claims a Releasing Person may have against any Party pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document.

(b)  Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions must be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, to the extent such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware), or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each Party irrevocably (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, (ii) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, (iii) agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and (iv) agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any other court.

The Company, Pubco, the Pubco Subsidiaries and the Seller, who are or have the right to be represented by independent counsel in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, hereby agree, in advance, to waive (and to cause their Affiliates to waive) any actual or potential conflict of interest that may hereafter arise in connection with EGS’ future representation of one or more of the Sponsor or its Affiliates in which the interests of such Person are adverse to the interests of Pubco, the Pubco Subsidiaries, SPAC, the Company, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, including any matters that arise out of this Agreement or that are substantially related to this Agreement or to any prior representation by EGS of Sponsor, SPAC or any of their respective Affiliates.

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to Pubco’s willingness to enter into the Business Combination Agreement, Pubco has required that Sponsor enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Sponsor Voting Requirements. At any meeting of the SPAC Shareholders, however called, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of the SPAC Shareholders is sought, Sponsor shall (i) if a meeting is held, appear at each such meeting (in person or by proxy) or otherwise cause all of the Sponsor Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (ii) vote (or cause to be voted), or execute and deliver a written consent (or cause a written consent to be executed and delivered) covering, all of the Sponsor Shares:

(a) in favor of each SPAC Shareholder Approval Matter;

(b) against any Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction;

(c) against any merger, consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by SPAC (other than the Transactions);

(d) against any change in the business of SPAC; and

(e) against any proposal, action or agreement involving SPAC that would or would reasonably be expected to (i) impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify any provision of this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Document, (ii) result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of SPAC under the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Document, (iii) result in any of the conditions in respect of obligations of SPAC or the Parties set forth in Article IX of the Business Combination Agreement not being fulfilled, or (iv) change in any manner the capitalization of, including the voting rights of any class of share capital of, SPAC (other than in connection with the SPAC Shareholder Approval Matters).

2. Enforcement of Insider Letter. During the Interim Period, for the benefit of Pubco, (a) Sponsor agrees that it shall fully comply with, and perform all of its obligations, covenants and agreements set forth in, the Insider Letter, including not redeeming any SPAC Ordinary Shares owned by it in connection with the Transactions and complying with the transfer restrictions with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Units, (b) SPAC agrees to enforce the Insider Letter in accordance with its terms and (c) each of Sponsor and SPAC agree not to amend, modify or waive any provision of the Insider Letter without the prior written consent of Pubco (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Pubco acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the Closing, Pubco, SPAC, Sponsor and any other insider party thereto shall enter into an amendment to the Insider Letter to delete Section 7 of the Insider Letter effective as of the Closing Date.

3. New Shares. In the event that, during the Interim Period, (a) any SPAC Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of SPAC are issued to Sponsor in respect of the Founder Shares or the Private Placement Units pursuant to the Anti-Dilution Right or any share dividend, share split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of SPAC Ordinary Shares owned by Sponsor or otherwise, then such SPAC Ordinary Shares or other equity securities acquired or purchased by Sponsor shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Founder Shares or Private Placement Units, as applicable, or (b) Sponsor (i) purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any SPAC Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of SPAC, or (ii) acquires the right to vote any SPAC Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of SPAC (such SPAC Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of SPAC referred to in clauses (b)(i) and (ii), collectively the “New Securities”), then such New Securities acquired or purchased by Sponsor shall be subject to the terms set forth in Sections 1 and 2 to the same extent as if they constituted the Sponsor Shares.

4. Waiver of Anti-Dilution Protection. Subject to the consummation of the SPAC Merger, Sponsor waives (for itself and for its successors, heirs and assigns), to the fullest extent permitted by Law and the SPAC Memorandum and Articles of Association, all anti-dilution rights that would otherwise result in SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by Sponsor converting into shares of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares on a greater than one-for-one basis in connection with the Transactions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Article 58 of the SPAC Memorandum and Articles of Association). The waiver specified in this Section 4 shall be applicable only in connection with the Transactions. If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated for any reason, the foregoing waiver shall be void and of no further force and effect.

5. Waiver and Release of Claims. Sponsor covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) Subject to and conditioned upon the Closing, effective as of the Closing (and subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) below), Sponsor, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and its and their respective successors, assigns, representatives, administrators, executors and agents, and any other person or entity claiming by, through or under any of the foregoing (each a “Releasing Party” and, collectively, the “Releasing Parties” provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that SPAC shall not be deemed a Releasing Party hereunder), does hereby unconditionally and irrevocably release, waive and forever discharge SPAC, Pubco, the Company and each of its and their past and present directors, officers, employees, agents, predecessors, successors, assigns, and Subsidiaries, from any and all past or present claims, demands, damages, judgments, causes of action and liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether or not known, suspected or claimed, arising directly or indirectly from any act, omission, event or transaction occurring (or any circumstances existing) at or prior to the Closing (each a “Claim” and, collectively, the “Claims”); provided, however, that the release, waiver and discharge by Sponsor’s Affiliates is limited to Claims that arise from the Transactions.

(b) Sponsor acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which it now knows or believes to be true with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that it may hereafter come to have a different understanding of the Law that may apply to potential Claims which it is releasing hereunder, but it affirms that, except as is otherwise specifically provided herein, it is its intention to fully, finally and forever settle and release any and all Claims. In furtherance of this intention, Sponsor acknowledges that the releases contained herein shall be and remain in effect as full and complete general releases notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional facts or different understandings of Law.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5 or anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Releasing Parties do not release or discharge, and each Releasing Party expressly does not release or discharge, any Claims that arise under or are based upon the terms of (i) this Agreement, (ii) any Ancillary Document to which Sponsor is a party, (iii) any letter of transmittal to which Sponsor is a party, (iv) any other document, certificate or Contract executed or delivered in connection with the Business Combination Agreement to which Sponsor is a party, (v) the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, (vi) any rights a Releasing Party has to indemnification from SPAC or Pubco arising out of the Transactions, (vii) the Underwriting Agreement, dated December 12, 2024, by and between SPAC and BTIG, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters, or (viii) the SPAC Memorandum and Articles or any indemnity agreement of any director or office of SPAC with SPAC with or for the benefit of a Releasing Party with respect to any Claims for indemnification, contribution, set-off, reimbursement or similar rights.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an admission by any party hereto of any liability of any kind to any other party hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sponsor (and each of its Affiliates other than SPAC) and SPAC shall be deemed not to be Affiliates of each other for purposes of this Section 5.

6. Forfeiture of Private Placement Units; Forfeiture of Founder Shares.

Without in any way limiting the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement, prior to the Closing, (i) no party shall have the power by virtue of this Agreement to control the activities and operations of any other and (ii) no party shall have any power or authority by virtue of this Agreement to bind or commit any other party. No party shall hold itself out as having any authority or relationship in contravention of this Section 12(j).

(k) Capacity as Shareholder. Sponsor signs this Agreement solely in its capacity as a shareholder of SPAC, and not in its capacity as a director (including “director by deputization”), officer or employee of SPAC, if applicable. Nothing herein shall be construed to (i) restrict, limit, prohibit or affect any actions or inactions by Sponsor or any representative of Sponsor, as applicable, serving in the capacity of a director or officer of SPAC or any Subsidiary of SPAC, acting in such person’s capacity as a director or officer of SPAC or any Subsidiary of SPAC (it being understood and agreed that the Business Combination Agreement contains provisions that govern the actions or inactions by the directors and officers of SPAC with respect to the Transactions) or (ii) prohibit, limit or restrict the exercise of any fiduciary duties as director or officer of SPAC that is otherwise permitted by, and done in compliance with, the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (and in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), without limiting Sponsor’s obligations hereunder in its capacity as a shareholder of SPAC).

(l) Affiliates. In this Agreement, the term “Affiliates”, when used with respect to a particular Person, means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Person as of the date on which, or at any time during the period for which, the determination of affiliation is being made, whether through one or more intermediaries or otherwise, and the term “control” (including the terms “controlling”, “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by Contract or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Sponsor and SPAC (and each of their respective Affiliates) shall be deemed not to be Affiliates of each other for purposes of this Agreement and (ii) no private investment fund (or similar vehicle) or business development company, or any other investment account, fund, vehicle or other client advised or sub-advised by Sponsor or by Sponsor’s Affiliates or any portfolio companies thereof shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of Sponsor, except to the extent any such Person is expressly requested or directed by Sponsor to take any action which would constitute a breach of this Agreement if taken by Sponsor, and such Person actually takes such prohibited action (it being understood and agreed that this Agreement shall not otherwise apply to, or be binding on, any Persons described in this clause (ii)).

(m) No Recourse. Neither SPAC nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of the past, present or future SPAC Shareholders (other than Sponsor or any Permitted Transferee thereof), nor any director, officer, employee, member, partner, shareholder or other owner (whether direct or indirect), Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of Sponsor, shall have any obligation or liability for the obligations or liabilities of Sponsor under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement may only be enforced against the persons or entities that have executed and delivered a counterpart to this Agreement.

(n) Headings; Interpretation. The headings and subheadings 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. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used 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) the term “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import 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; (iv) the term “or” means “and/or”; (v) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or thing extends, and such phrase shall not simply mean “if”; and (vi) references to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form. 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.

(o) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Copies of executed counterparts of this Agreement transmitted by electronic transmission (including by email or in .pdf format) or facsimile as well as electronically or digitally executed counterparts (such as DocuSign) shall have the same legal effect as original signatures and shall be considered original executed counterparts of this Agreement.

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

1. Lock-Up Provisions.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, among other matters, pursuant to and in accordance with applicable laws: (a) prior to consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing” ), SPAC shall effectuate a domestication (the “Domestication” ), pursuant to which SPAC shall transfer by way of continuation to and become a Delaware corporation (the “Domesticated SPAC” ), all references herein to “SPAC” following the Domestication refer to the Domesticated SPAC, (b) at least two (2) hours after the Domestication, the SPAC Merger Sub will merge with and into SPAC, with SPAC continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “SPAC Merger”), and with SPAC shareholders receiving one share of Pubco Class A Stock for each SPAC Class A Ordinary Share held by such shareholder and with each holder of SPAC Rights receiving one share of Pubco Class A Stock in exchange for each ten (10) SPAC Rights held by such holder and (c) Company Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Company Merger” and, together with the SPAC Merger, the “Mergers” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, including the Foundation Transaction, the Dragonfly Contribution and the Investments, the “ Transactions” ), and with Company Members receiving Pubco Stock (and, in the case of Seller, certain other consideration) for each Company Unit held by such Company Member, and upon the consummation of the Mergers, Pubco will become a publicly traded company; (a) Holder hereby agrees not to, without the prior written consent of Pubco, during the period (the “Lock-Up Period”) commencing from the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the date that is one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (the “Anniversary Release”); provided that, if the VWAP of the shares of Pubco Class A Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 consecutive trading days after Closing, then the Anniversary Release will be deemed to occur at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on such 20th consecutive trading day, and (B) the date on which Pubco consummates a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Pubco Stock for cash, securities or other property: (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any Restricted Securities, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any Restricted Securities, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce the intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii) (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Prohibited Transfer”). The foregoing sentence shall not apply to the transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by Holder (each, a “Permitted Transferee”): (I) in the case of an entity, transfers (A) to another entity that is an Affiliate of the Holder, (B) as part of a distribution to members, partners or stockholders of Holder and (C) to officers or directors of Holder, any Affiliate or family member of any of Holder’s officers or directors, or to any members, officers, directors or employees of Holder or any of its Affiliates; (II) in the case of an individual, transfers by gift to members of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, an Affiliate of such person; (III) to a charitable organization; (IV) in the case of an individual, transfers by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (V) in the case of an individual, transfers pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (VI) in the case of an entity, transfers by virtue of the laws of the state of the entity’s organization and the entity’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the entity; (VII) transfers to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, or local income tax obligations of Holder (or its direct or indirect owners) to the extent necessary to cover any tax liability as a direct result of the Transactions; or (VIII) in the form of a pledge of Restricted Securities in a bona fide transaction as collateral to secure obligations pursuant to lending or other financing arrangements between a Holder (or its Affiliates), on the one hand, and a third party, on the other hand, for the benefit of such Holder and/or its Affiliates; provided, however, that during the Lock-Up Period such third party shall not be permitted to foreclose upon such Restricted Securities or otherwise be entitled to enforce its rights or remedies with respect to the Restricted Securities, including, without limitation, the right to vote, transfer or take title to or ownership of such Restricted Securities; provided, however, that it shall be a condition to any transfer pursuant to clauses (I) through (VIII) above that the Permitted Transferee (i) executes and delivers to Pubco all agreements and waivers contemplated by the Insider Letter (as defined below); and (ii) executes an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Holder, and there shall be no further transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement. Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by Pubco that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. The restrictions set forth herein shall not restrict Holder from making a request for inclusion of its Restricted Securities in any registration statement pursuant to any registration rights agreement between Pubco and the Holder, provided that no public filing or public disclosure relating to such sale of securities is made during the Lock-Up Period.

(b) SPAC, Sponsor and the Insiders hereby agree that as of the Closing Date, Section 7of that certain letter agreement, dated as of December 12, 2024, by and among SPAC, Sponsor and the Insiders (as amended, the “Insider Letter”), is to be of no further force and effect, and further confirm that by their signature hereto they are executing a written instrument that satisfies the requirements of Section 13 of the Insider Letter to change, amend, modify or waive a particular provision of the Insider Letter.

(c) If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and Pubco shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, Pubco may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities of Holder (and Permitted Transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

(d) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF OCTOBER __, 2025, BY AND BETWEEN THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”) AND THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN, AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

(e) For the avoidance of any doubt, Holder shall retain all of its rights as a stockholder of Pubco during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Restricted Securities.

2. Miscellaneous.

(a) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns; provided that Section 1(b) shall only be binding upon and inure to the benefit of SPAC, the Sponsor and the Insiders. This Agreement and all obligations of Holder are personal to Holder and may not be transferred or delegated by Holder at any time without the prior written consent of Pubco, except in accordance with the procedures set forth for transfers of Restricted Securities to Permitted Transferees in Section 1(a), and any such purported transfer shall be null and void. Pubco may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor entity (whether by merger, consolidation, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise) without obtaining the consent or approval of Holder.

(b) Third Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any person or entity that is not a party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.

(c) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Specific Performance. Sections 12.6 and 12.7 of the Business Combination Agreement shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis.

(d) Interpretation. 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 neutral 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.

(e) Notices. All notices, consents, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered (i) in person, (ii) by facsimile, email or other electronic means, with affirmative confirmation of receipt (excluding out-of-office replies or other automatically generated responses), (iii) one Business Day after being sent, if sent by reputable, nationally recognized overnight courier service or (iv) four (4) Business Days after being mailed, if sent by registered or certified mail, pre-paid and return receipt requested, in each case to the applicable party at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

(f) Amendments and Waivers. 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 all parties hereto; provided, however, that if any waiver of any of the Lock-Up Agreements executed in connection with the Business Combination Agreement is granted by Pubco, Pubco will provide notice to Holder, and if Holder so elects, such waiver shall be deemed granted mutatis mutandis for this Agreement. 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.

(g) Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(h) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Business Combination Agreement to the extent referred to herein, constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Pubco or any of the rights, remedies or obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and Pubco or any certificate or instrument executed by Holder in favor of Pubco, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights, remedies or obligations of Pubco or any of the rights, remedies or obligations of Holder under this Agreement.

(i) Further Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s reasonable request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by electronic signature or by email in portable document form) in two 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.

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.

(g) Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(h) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Business Combination Agreement to the extent referred to herein, constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Business Combination Agreement or any Ancillary Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of Pubco or any of the rights, remedies or obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and Pubco or any certificate or instrument executed by Holder in favor of Pubco, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights, remedies or obligations of Pubco or any of the rights, remedies or obligations of Holder under this Agreement.

(i) Further Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s reasonable request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(j) Counterparts.

Upon receipt by Pubco of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s) to Pubco, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and Pubco shall effect, as soon thereafter as practicable, the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holder(s) and Requesting Holder(s) pursuant to such Demand Registration, including by (x) filing or confidentially submitting a Registration Statement relating thereto as soon as practicable, but, not more than forty five (45) calendar days immediately after Pubco’s receipt of the Demand Registration, and (y) using its reasonable best efforts to have such Registration Statement become effective as soon as practicable after Pubco’s receipt of the Demand Registration but in any event no later than within ninety (90) calendar days or, if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided from, the Commission, within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days; provided, further, that Pubco shall request the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable but in any event no later than within five (5) business days after the date Pubco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.

(b) If the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then Pubco shall include in any such Registration (i) first, the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Registration, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock or other equity securities that Pubco desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the shares Pubco Class A Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that Pubco is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to Pubco and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the earlier of (x) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or (y) the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing the Underwritten Offering with respect to such Piggyback Registration. Pubco (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or abandon an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Pubco shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to any withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.

2.3 Shelf Registrations.

2.3.1 Shelf Registration Rights. Any Holder of Registrable Securities may at any time, and from time to time, request in writing that Pubco, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), register the resale of any or all of their Registrable Securities not included on an Initial Shelf Registration Statement (as defined below) on a delayed or continuous basis on a shelf registration statement on Form S-1 or any similar registration statement that may be available at such time (a “Form S-1 Shelf”) or a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 or any similar short form registration statement that may be available at such time (a “Form S-3 Shelf”, and together with a Form S-1 Shelf, a “Shelf Registration Statement”), if Pubco is then eligible to use a Form S-3 Shelf; provided, however, Pubco shall be obligated to effect such request through an Underwritten Offering only pursuant to subsection 2.3.2. In addition, as soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, Pubco will file a Form S-1 Shelf registering the resale of all Registrable Securities requested to be included therein (the “Initial Shelf Registration Statement”). Within five (5) calendar days of Pubco’s receipt of a written request from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities for such a Registration, Pubco shall promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration shall so notify Pubco, in writing, within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from Pubco. In the case of (A) the Initial Shelf Registration Statement, Pubco shall (x) file a Form S-1 Shelf to effect the registration of all Registrable Securities as soon as practicable, but not more than thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, and (y) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the earlier of (i) the tenth (10th) business day after the date Pubco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Initial Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review and (ii) the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the initial filing date of the Initial Shelf Registration Statement if the Commission notifies Pubco that it will review the Initial Registration Statement (the “Initial Shelf Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that (I) if the Initial Shelf Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Initial Shelf Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business and (II) if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Initial Shelf Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same number of calendar days as the number of calendar days during which the Commission remains closed; (B) a Form S-3 Shelf, as soon as practicable thereafter, but not more than thirty (30) calendar days after Pubco’s initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on Form S-3, Pubco shall register all or such portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such written request, together with all or such portion of Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in the written notification given by such Holder or Holders; provided, however, that Pubco shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration if (x) a Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (y) the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the Holders of any other equity securities of Pubco entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities and such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public expected by such Holders to be less than $10,000,000; and (C) a Form S-1 Shelf, Pubco shall effect, as soon thereafter as practicable, the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by such Holders, including by (x) filing or confidentially submitting a Form S-1 Shelf relating thereto as soon as practicable, but not more than forty five (45) calendar days immediately after Pubco’s receipt of such written request for a Registration on a Form S-1 Shelf, and (y) shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such Form S-1 Shelf become effective as soon as practicable after Pubco’s receipt of such notice but in any event no later than within ninety (90) calendar days or, if the Form S-1 Shelf is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided from, the Commission, within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days; provided, further that Pubco shall request the Form S-1 Shelf declared effective as soon as practicable but in any event no later than within five (5) business days after the date Pubco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission that the Form S-1 Shelf will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, however, that Pubco shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration if the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the Holders of any other equity securities of Pubco entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities and such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public expected by such Holders to be less than $10,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, any Registration pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 shall not count as a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2.1.1.

2.3.2 Underwritten Shelf Offerings. At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if any Significant Specified Holder delivers a notice to Pubco stating that it intends to sell all or part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration Statement in an Underwritten Offering, then Pubco shall promptly amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement, as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to an Underwritten Offering; provided, that subsections 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

2.4 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and (a) Pubco and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer, (b) the filing, initial effectiveness, or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of such Underwritten Offering at any time would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to Pubco for reasons beyond Pubco’s control, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be detrimental to Pubco and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case Pubco shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be detrimental to Pubco for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, Pubco shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than thirty (30) calendar days; provided, however, that Pubco shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12-month period.

ARTICLE III

PUBCO PROCEDURES

3.1 General Procedures. If at any time on or after the Closing Date, Pubco is required to effect the Registration of Registrable Securities, Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto Pubco shall, as expeditiously as possible:

3.1.1 prepare and file with the Commission, within the time frame required by Section 2.1.1, a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or are no longer outstanding (such period, the “Effectiveness Period”);

3.1.2 prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary under applicable law to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities thereby for its Effectiveness Period;

3.1.3 prior to filing or confidentially submitting a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and each such Holder’s legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders; provided, that, Pubco will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s EDGAR system;

3.1.4 prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (b) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of Pubco and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that Pubco shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each national securities exchange on which similar securities issued by Pubco are then listed;

3.1.6 provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

3.1.7 advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

3.1.8 at least five (5) calendar days prior to the filing or confidentially submitting of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities and its counsel, including, without limitation, providing copies promptly upon receipt of any comment letters received with respect to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus;

3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;

3.1.10 permit a representative of the Significant Specified Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause Pubco’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Pubco, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information; and provided further, Pubco may not include the name of any Holder or Underwriter or any information regarding any Holder or Underwriter in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus, any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any response to any comment letter, without the prior written consent of such Holder or Underwriter and providing each such Holder or Underwriter a reasonable amount of time to review and comment on such applicable document;

3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from Pubco’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Registration which the participating Holders may rely on, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to each participating Significant Specified Holder;

3.1.12 on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing Pubco for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to each participating Significant Specified Holder;

3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;

3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of Pubco’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

3.1.15 if the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of Pubco to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by Pubco. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of Pubco pursuant to a Registration initiated by Pubco hereunder unless such person (a) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in form, scope and substance customary for such offerings and approved by Pubco and such person and (b) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from Pubco that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that Pubco hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by Pubco that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require Pubco to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to Pubco for reasons beyond Pubco’s control, Pubco may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) calendar days, determined in good faith by Pubco to be necessary for such purpose. In the event Pubco exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. Pubco shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4. If so directed by Pubco, the Holders will deliver to Pubco or, in Holders’ sole discretion destroy, all copies of each Prospectus for which the Holders have suspended use pursuant to this Section 3.4 covering Registrable Securities in Holders’ possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy shall not apply (A) to the extent the Holders are required to retain a copy of such Prospectus (x) to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (y) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Pubco shall not provide any Holder with any material, nonpublic information regarding Pubco other than to the extent that providing notice under this Section 3.4 to such Holder constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding Pubco.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, Pubco, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by Pubco after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Pubco further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell the shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, Pubco shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 Pubco agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its affiliates, officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Persons”) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Pubco by such Holder Indemnified Person expressly for use therein.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to Pubco in writing such information and affidavits as Pubco reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Pubco, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls Pubco (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (b) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party if the indemnifying party provides notice of such to the indemnified party within 30 calendar days of the indemnifying party’s receipt of notice of such claim. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any other legal expenses except as provided below and except for the reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense. The indemnified party will have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (iv) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such action or counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, in each case, within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action; in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction (plus local counsel) at any one time for all such indemnified party or parties. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 4 (whether or not any indemnified party is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (1) includes an express and unconditional release of each indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall to the extent permitted by law contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Promptly upon receipt of any amount of such AVAX Funds and within the Funding Period, the Company shall cause the Custodian or the Liquidity Providers as the case may require, to use the AVAX Funds to purchase AVAX on behalf of the Company (the “Purchased AVAX”, together with any AVAX purchased by the Company with USDC Proceeds and the aggregate AVAX Amount paid by all Subscribers subscribing in AVAX, the “Company AVAX”) at the then-prevailing spot market price of AVAX at the time of execution of the trade(s), which shall be disclosed to the Company in advance, or in such other manner as the Company determines, acting in good faith and using its reasonable judgment to obtain fair value. The Company AVAX shall be held in an unencumbered custody account at the Custodian or its affiliates in the name of the Company, for which the Custodian or its affiliates serve as the custodian (the “Custody Account”).

(i) Until the closing of the Transactions, the Company and Pubco covenant that neither the AVAX contributed in respect of the Subscription Price nor the Company AVAX shall be pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise used as collateral to secure any indebtedness or obligation, and shall remain free and clear of all liens, charges, and encumbrances; provided, that the Company and Pubco may use any AVAX contributed in respect of the Subscription Price or the Company AVAX for Staking.

(j) The Company AVAX may not be released from the Custody Account until (i) the earlier of either (A) the closing of the Transactions or (B) termination of the BCA in accordance with its terms and (ii) the Authorized Persons (as defined below) authorize the release of the Company AVAX through the Custodian.

(k) If consummation of the Transactions occurs, then on the closing date of the Transactions, the Company AVAX will be released from the Custody Account and transferred to a digital asset wallet account designated in writing by the Company and SPAC upon receipt by the Custodian of the required authorization by the Authorized Persons, and the Company shall provide the Custodian with a specific instruction noting this requirement for release, along with the names of the Authorized Persons.

(l) In the event that the consummation of the Transactions does not occur prior to the Outside Date (as defined in the BCA), unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Pubco, the Company and Subscriber, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) business days after the Outside Date) liquidate in accordance with the Company Organizational Documents (as defined below).

(m) The Company designates either Bart Smith or Laine Litman, and SPAC designates Paul Grinberg as its representatives, respectively, who must jointly authorize the release of the Company AVAX from the Custody Account in accordance with this Section 2 (the “Authorized Persons”). Any individual designated as an Authorized Person who is convicted of, or admits to, a Disqualification Event (as defined in Section 4(n)), shall be automatically removed and shall no longer serve as an Authorized Person. Upon becoming aware of any Disqualification Event affecting one of its Authorized Persons, the applicable party shall promptly deliver written notice to the other party and to the Custodian, which notice shall identify the Authorized Person to be removed and the name and contact information of the replacement Authorized Person.

(n) As promptly as practicable after the completion of the Transactions (and, in any event no more than three (3) business days after such completion), Pubco shall deliver to each Subscriber evidence from Pubco’s transfer agent of the exchange of the Subscribed Units for such number of shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock per Subscribed Unit as calculated in accordance with Section 2.8(a) in the BCA.

(o) The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (1) the subscriptions contemplated by this agreement are intended to be contributions qualifying under section 721(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (2) the Company Merger, the SPAC Merger, and certain other contribution(s) as contemplated by the BCA, taken together, are intended to be treated as an integrated transaction that is described in Section 351 of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Each of the parties hereto agree to report and cause to be reported for U.S. federal income tax purposes all tax-related items in a manner consistent with such Intended Tax Treatment.

(p) The obligations of Subscriber to consummate, or cause to be consummated, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement (including the Subscription Closing) are subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Subscriber of the additional conditions that, on the date hereof, no Other LLC Subscription Agreement (or other agreements or understandings (including side letters) entered into in connection therewith or in connection with the sale of the Other LLC Subscribed Units) shall have been materially amended, modified or waived unless the Subscriber shall have been offered in writing the same benefits (other than terms particular to the legal or regulatory requirements of such Other LLC Subscriber or its affiliates or related persons).

Section 3. Subscription Adjustment. Immediately prior to the Company Merger, the Subscribed Company Units shall be adjusted as follows: (x) if the Closing AVAX Price (as defined below) is greater than the Unrestricted AVAX Price, the Company shall issue to each Subscriber such number of Company Units equal to the product of (i) the number of Subscribed Units issued to such Subscriber at the Subscription Closing and (ii) the difference between (1) the quotient of the Closing AVAX Price and the Unrestricted AVAX Price and (2) one (the “Adjustment Units”); and (y) the Company shall issue to each Subscriber such number of Company Units equal to such Subscriber’s pro rata portion of the Aggregate Staking Units, based on such Subscriber’s Company Units relative to the aggregate Company Units of all Subscribers. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Closing AVAX Price” means the VWAP of AVAX denominated in USD as calculated from all executed trades on Binance (or its successor primary spot exchange) over the five-day period ending at 8:00 p.m. New York City time on the day immediately prior to the closing date of the Transactions; such VWAP shall be calculated by dividing the sum of the products of each trade’s price and volume by the total volume of all trades during the specified five-day period; (ii) “Net Staking Rewards” means the total amount of AVAX generated as staking rewards from the staking of the Company AVAX from the date of this Subscription Agreement until the date immediately prior to the closing date of the Transactions and after deducting any and all applicable staking fees, network transaction fees, and operational costs directly attributable to such staking; and (iii) “Aggregate Staking Units” means such number of Company Units equal to the quotient of (x) the Net Staking Rewards multiplied by the Closing AVAX Price and (y) the Per Unit Price. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3 is intended to prevent the value of a Company Unit from exceeding the Per Unit Price, and shall be treated and reported for all tax purposes as not resulting in a “capital shift” or other taxable event, unless otherwise required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state or local).

(q) If Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to section 4975 of the Code or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”) subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, Subscriber represents and warrants that (i) it has not relied on SPAC, the Company, Pubco, the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates (the “Transaction Parties”) for investment advice or as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Subscribed Units, and none of the Transaction Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Subscribed Units and (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Subscribed Units will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or section 4975 of the Code.

(r) Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Company or SPAC, or any of their respective affiliates or Representatives, including the Placement Agents), other than the representations and warranties of SPAC, the Company and Pubco contained in Section 4, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Subscriber agrees that none of (i) any Other LLC Subscriber pursuant to an Other LLC Subscription Agreement or any other agreement related to the private placement of Pubco Class A Common Stock (including the controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents or employees of any such Subscriber) nor (ii) the Placement Agents shall be liable (including, without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by such person or entity), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, or have any liability or obligation to Subscriber or any Other LLC Subscriber, or any person claiming through Subscriber or any Other LLC Subscriber, pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or related to the private placement under the Other LLC Subscription Agreements, the negotiation hereof or the subject matter hereof, or the transactions contemplated hereby, for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of the foregoing in connection with the purchase of the Subscribed Units. Subscriber agrees not to commence any litigation or bring any claim against the Placement Agents in any court or any other forum which relates to, may arise out of, or is in connection with, this offering of the Subscribed Units. This undertaking is given freely and after obtaining independent legal advice.

(s) Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Placement Agents are acting solely as the Company’s placement agents in connection with the private placement of the Subscribed Units and are not acting as an underwriter or in any other capacity and are not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary of the Subscriber, SPAC or any other person or entity in connection with the private placement of the Subscribed Units, (ii) the Placement Agents have not made or will not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character and has not provided any advice or recommendation in connection with the private placement of the Subscribed Units, and (iii) the Placement Agents will not have any responsibility with respect to (x) any representations, warranties or agreements made by any person or entity under or in connection with the private placement of the Subscribed Units or any of the documents furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or the execution, legality, validity or enforceability (with respect to any person) or any thereof, or (y) the business, affairs, financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of, or any other matter concerning the Company, Pubco, the SPAC or the private placement of the Subscribed Units.

(t) Subscriber acknowledges that the Placement Agents are also acting as exclusive capital markets advisor to the Company and Pubco in connection with the Transactions.

(u) No broker or finder is entitled to any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission to be paid by Subscriber solely in connection with the sale of the Subscribed Units to Subscriber.

(v) At all times on or prior to the closing of the Transactions, Subscriber has no binding commitment to dispose of, or otherwise transfer (directly or indirectly), (i) any of the Subscribed Units, other than in exchange for Pubco Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Transactions, or (ii) any Pubco Class A Common Stock received in exchange for the Subscribed Units pursuant to the Transactions.

(w) Subscriber hereby agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber, shall, directly or indirectly, engage in any hedging activities or execute any Short Sales with respect to the securities of SPAC or Pubco from the date of this Subscription Agreement until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms. “Short Sales” shall mean all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all short positions effected through any direct or indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), short sales or other short transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with Subscriber from entering into any Short Sales and (ii) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to enter into the Subscription, subject in each of clauses (i) and (ii), to the obligations of Subscriber and such other entities under applicable law.

(x) Subscriber is not currently (and at all times through the closing of the Transactions will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision), including any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of equity securities of SPAC or Pubco (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act), other than any “group” consisting solely of the Subscriber and one or more of its affiliates.

(y) Subscriber will not acquire a substantial interest (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.244) in the Company or Pubco (or their affiliates) as a result of the purchase and sale of the Subscribed Units.

(z) Subscriber acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to the treatment of non-public information relating to the Company, SPAC and Pubco.

(aa) In making its decision to purchase the Subscribed Units, Subscriber has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Subscriber and the representations and warranties of the SPAC, Company and Pubco set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber has not relied on any statements or other information provided by the Placement Agents concerning the SPAC, the Company, Pubco or the Subscribed Units or the offer and sale of the Subscribed Units except for the representations and warranties of SPAC and Pubco set forth herein. No disclosure or offering document has been prepared by the Placement Agents in connection with the offer and sale of the Subscribed Units. The Placement Agents and each of their members, directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have made no independent investigation with respect to the Company, Pubco or the Subscribed Units or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the Subscriber by or on behalf of the Company and Pubco. In connection with the issue and purchase of the Subscribed Units the Placement Agents have not made any recommendations regarding an investment in the Company, Pubco, the Subscribed Units or shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock or acted as the Subscriber’s financial advisor or fiduciary.

(bb) Subscriber covenants that neither it, nor any affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, has executed or will execute any purchases or sales of any of securities of SPAC during the period that commenced at the time that Subscriber first learned of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 9(u). Subscriber covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are publicly disclosed by SPAC pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 9(u), Subscriber will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of the Subscription and the Transactions and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, SPAC and Pubco expressly acknowledge and agree that Subscriber shall have no duty of confidentiality as set forth in this Section 5(bb) to Pubco after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 9(u). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case that Subscriber is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of Subscriber’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Subscribed Units covered by this Subscription Agreement.

(cc) Subscriber acknowledges and understands that AVAX is a volatile asset and the value of the Company AVAX that may be returned to Subscriber hereunder may be less than the value of the Subscription Price initially transferred.

(dd) If Subscriber elects to subscribe for the Company Units with AVAX, Subscriber acknowledges that it has provided Pubco and the Company with the requested certification on Annex E following the signature page hereto concerning the status of any Unrestricted AVAX or Restricted AVAX, which shall form a part of this Subscription Agreement.

Section 6. Registration Matters.

(a) Pubco agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Pubco Class A Common Stock into which the Subscribed Units held by Subscribers will be converted upon consummation of the Company Merger (such securities, the “Registrable Securities”) to be registered on the Form S-4.

(b) To the extent that any Registrable Securities are unable to be included on the Form S-4, then, subject to Section (c), Pubco agrees that, as soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days following the consummation of the Transactions Pubco will file or confidentially submit with the Commission (at Pubco’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of such Registrable Securities (such registration statement, the “Registration Statement”), and Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing or confidential submission thereof, but in any event no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the closing of the Transactions (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by a maximum of an additional ninety (90) calendar days if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided from, the Commission; provided, further, that Pubco shall request the Registration Statement declared effective promptly after the date Pubco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, further, that (i) if the Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next business day on which the Commission is open for business and (ii) if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same number of calendar days as the number of calendar days during which the Commission remains closed. Pubco will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber at least two (2) business days in advance of the date of filing the Registration Statement with the Commission. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Subscriber prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, Subscriber shall not be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless the Commission requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter; provided, that if the Commission requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to Pubco. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission or its regulations prevent Pubco from including any or all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of Registrable Securities as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Registrable Securities shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Registrable Securities under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, Pubco shall amend the Registration Statement or file one or more new Registration Statement(s) (with such amendment or new Registration Statement also being deemed to be a “Registration Statement” hereunder) to register such additional Registrable Securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such amendment or Registration Statement(s) to become effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the filing of such Registration Statement (the “Additional Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that the Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to ninety (90) calendar days after the filing of such Registration Statement, including any new Registration Statement or amended Registration Statement, if such Registration Statement is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided from, the Commission; provided, further, that Pubco shall request that such Registration Statement be declared effective promptly after the date Pubco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, further, that (i) if such day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next business day on which the Commission is open for business and (ii) if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same number of calendar days as the number of calendar days during which the Commission remains closed. Any failure by Pubco to file or confidentially submit a Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline or Additional Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve Pubco of its obligations to file, confidentially submit or effect a Registration Statement as set forth in this Section 6.

(c) Pubco agrees that, except for such times as Pubco is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Pubco will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective with respect to Subscriber, including to prepare and file any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus such that the prospectus will not include any untrue statement or a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, until the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which Subscriber ceases to hold any Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and (ii) the first date on which Subscriber can sell all of its Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for Pubco to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) (the earliest of clauses (i) and (ii), the “End Date”). Prior to the End Date, Pubco (i) will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable; (ii) file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable Subscriber to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement; and (iii) qualify the Registrable Securities for listing on the Stock Exchange and update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include Registrable Securities. Pubco will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) for so long as Subscriber holds Registrable Securities, make and keep public information available (as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144) and file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Pubco under the Exchange Act so long as Pubco remains subject to such requirements to enable Subscriber to resell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, (B) at the reasonable request of Subscriber, deliver all the necessary documentation to cause Pubco’s transfer agent to remove all restrictive legends from any Registrable Securities being sold under the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 at the time of sale of the Registrable Securities, and (C) cause its legal counsel to deliver to the transfer agent the necessary legal opinions required by the transfer agent, if any, in connection with the instruction under clause (B) upon the receipt of Subscriber representation letters and such other customary supporting documentation as requested by (and in a form reasonably acceptable to) such counsel. Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of Registrable Securities to Pubco (or its successor) as may be reasonably required to enable Pubco to make the determination described above.

(d) Pubco’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to Pubco a completed selling stockholder questionnaire in customary form that contains such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of Pubco held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by Pubco to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Pubco may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that Pubco shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement (i) during any customary blackout or similar period or as permitted hereunder and (ii) as may be necessary in connection with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement following the filing of Pubco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its first completed fiscal year following the effective date of the Registration Statement; provided that Pubco shall request such information from Subscriber, including the selling stockholder questionnaire, at least five (5) business days prior to the anticipated date of filing the Registration Statement with the Commission. In the case of the registration effected by Pubco pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, Pubco shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. Subscriber shall not be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Pubco may from time to time require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any such Registration Statement if (A) it determines in good faith that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, including as a result of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information, (B) such filing or use would materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of Pubco or would require premature disclosure of information that would materially adversely affect Pubco, (C) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the members of Pubco’s board of directors, such filing or effectiveness or use of such Registration Statement would be seriously detrimental to Pubco, (D) the majority of the members of Pubco’s board of directors determines to delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, a Registration Statement and such delay or suspension arises out of, or is a result of, or is related to or is in connection with the SEC Guidance or future Commission guidance directed at special purpose acquisition companies or companies that have consummated a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company, or any related disclosure or related matters, (E) as may be necessary in connection with the preparation and filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement following the filing of Pubco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its first completed fiscal year following the effective date of the Registration Statement, or (F) Subscriber agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Pubco agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to in Section 6(d)(A) and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Pubco that it may resume such offers and sales and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Pubco unless otherwise required by law, subpoena or regulatory request or requirement (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided that (w) Pubco shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than forty-five (45) consecutive days or more than ninety (90) total calendar days in any consecutive three hundred sixty (360) day period, or more than two (2) times in any consecutive three hundred sixty (360) day period and (x) Pubco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by Subscriber of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

(e) Upon receipt of any written notice from Pubco of the happening of (i) an issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose, which notice shall be given no later than three (3) business days from the date of such event, (ii) any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective, which notice shall be given no later than three (3) business days from the date of such Suspension Event, or (iii) if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Pubco agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Pubco that it may resume such offers and sales and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Pubco unless otherwise required by law, subpoena or regulatory request or requirement. If so directed by Pubco, Subscriber will deliver to Pubco or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (w) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (x) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

(f) For purposes of this Section 6, (i) “Registrable Securities” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Registrable Securities and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to the Registrable Securities by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, or replacement, and (ii) “Subscriber” shall include any person to which the rights under this Section 6 shall have been duly assigned.

(g) Pubco shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent Subscriber is a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, members, managers, partners, agents and employees of Subscriber, each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, managers, partners, agents and employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all out-of-pocket and reasonably documented losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable and documented external attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or caused by or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions (1) are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to Pubco by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein or Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information or (2) result from or are in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of Subscriber in violation of Section 6(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pubco’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Pubco. Pubco shall provide Subscriber with an update on any threatened or asserted proceedings arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6 of which Pubco receives notice whether oral or in writing.

(h) Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any other subscriber in the offering contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Pubco, its directors, officers, members, managers, partners, agents and employees, each person who controls Pubco (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, members, managers, partners, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to Pubco by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the United States dollars amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Subscriber’s indemnification obligation shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(i) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement), which settlement shall not include a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party, and which settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(j) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

(k) If the indemnification provided under this Section 6 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of Subscriber shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), or on behalf of such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 6(k) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any party be liable for punitive damages in connection with this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(l) At any time and from time to time in connection with a bona-fide sale of Registrable Securities effected in compliance with the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or through any broker-dealer sale transactions described in the plan of distribution set forth within any prospectus and pursuant to the Registration Statement, Pubco shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, subject to the receipt of customary documentation required from the holder of the applicable Registrable Securities and broker in connection therewith and compliance with applicable laws, (i) promptly instruct its transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends applicable to the Registrable Securities being sold and (ii) in connection with any sale made pursuant to Rule 144, cause its legal counsel to deliver reasonably requested legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i). Subscriber may request that Pubco remove any legend from the book entry position evidencing its Registrable Securities following the earliest of such time as such Registrable Securities (i) (x) are subject to or (y) have been or are about to be sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement (including the Registration Statement), or (ii) have been sold pursuant to Rule 144. Pubco shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent, its legal counsel (including for purposes of giving the opinion referenced herein) and all DTC fees associated with such issuance and the Subscriber shall be responsible for its fees or costs associated with such removal of the legend (including its legal fees or costs of its legal counsel).

(m) With a view to making available to Subscriber the benefits of Rule 144 that permit Subscriber to sell securities of Pubco to the public without registration, Pubco agrees, for so long as Subscriber holds Registrable Securities, to:

(i) use commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Pubco under the Exchange Act so long as Pubco remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents as may be required pursuant to the applicable provisions of Rule 144.

(n) Upon request, Pubco shall provide the Subscriber with contact information for the person responsible for Pubco’s account at the transfer agent to facilitate transfers made pursuant to this Section 6 and provide reasonable assistance to facilitate transfers. Pubco shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and its legal counsel (including for purposes of giving the opinion referenced herein) associated with such issuance and the Subscriber shall be responsible for its fees or costs associated with such removal of the legend (including its legal fees or costs of its legal counsel).

Section 7. Termination. The obligations and restrictions of Section 6 and Section 9(u) of this Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the BCA is terminated in accordance with its terms; (b) the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement or (c) twelve (12) months after the date hereof; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Company shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the BCA promptly after the termination thereof.

Section 8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber hereby acknowledges that SPAC is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in the final prospectus relating to SPAC’s initial public offering (“IPO”) filed with the SEC (File No. 333-280719) on November 21, 2024 (the “Prospectus”), substantially all of SPAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of SPAC’s IPO and a private placement of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) have been deposited into a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of SPAC and its public shareholders. As described in the Prospectus, the funds held from time to time in the Trust Account may only be released upon certain conditions. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Subscriber hereby agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of its related parties) that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies or other assets in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives (on its own behalf and on behalf of its related parties) any Claim to, or to any monies or other assets in, the Trust Account that it may have now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Subscribed Units, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account (or any distributions therefrom directly or indirectly to SPAC’s public shareholders). In the event that Subscriber has any Claim against SPAC as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the Other LLC Subscription Agreements, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or the Subscribed Units or Pubco Class A Common Stock, Subscriber agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom (it being clarified that such waiver shall not apply following the closing of the Transactions to the Trust Account funds that are released from the Trust Account to SPAC or Pubco in connection with the Transactions). Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that such irrevocable waiver is a material inducement to SPAC to enter into this Subscription Agreement, and further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding, and enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with applicable law. To the extent Subscriber commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SPAC or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against SPAC or its Representatives, Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit Subscriber (or any person claiming on Subscriber’s behalf or in lieu of Subscriber) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. Nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit Subscriber’s right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with SPAC’s organizational documents in respect of any redemptions by Subscriber in respect of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 8 shall survive termination of this Subscription Agreement.

Section 9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Subscriber hereby acknowledges that it shall be solely responsible for and bear the cost of all transfer, stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar taxes, duties, fees or charges arising in any jurisdiction in connection with the Subscription contemplated in this Subscription Agreement as well as the execution of this Subscription Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Subscription Agreement, the Company, Pubco and any of their Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Registrable Securities and any other amount payable pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (in connection with a future share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, or replacement) any such taxes as may be required to be deducted and withheld from such amounts (and any other amounts treated as paid for applicable tax law) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any other applicable tax law (as determined in good faith by the party so deducting or withholding in its sole discretion). To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Subscription Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(c) All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing. Any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder shall be deemed duly given (i) when delivered personally to the recipient, (ii) when sent by electronic mail, with no mail undeliverable or other rejection notice, on the date of transmission to such recipient, if sent on a business day prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, or on the business day following the date of transmission, if sent on a day that is not a business day or after 5:00 p.m. New York City time on a business day, (iii) one (1) business day after being sent to the recipient via overnight mail by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid), or (iv) four (4) business days after being mailed to the recipient by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, and, in each case, addressed to the intended recipient at its address specified on the signature page hereof or to such electronic mail address or address as subsequently modified by written notice given in accordance with this Section 9(c). A courtesy electronic copy of any notice sent by methods (i), (iii), or (iv) above shall also be sent to the recipient via electronic mail if an electronic mail address is provided in the applicable signature page hereof or to an electronic mail address as subsequently modified by written notice given in accordance with this Section 9(c).

(d) Subscriber acknowledges that Pubco, the Placement Agents and others, including SPAC and the Company, will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this Section 9(d) shall not give the Company, Pubco or SPAC any rights other than those expressly set forth herein. Prior to the closing of the Transactions, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company, Pubco, SPAC and the Placement Agents if it becomes aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects. Pubco acknowledges that Subscriber will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the closing of the Transactions, the Company and Pubco agree to promptly notify Subscriber, if they become aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Company or Pubco, as applicable, set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects.

(e) Each of the Company, Pubco, SPAC, the Placement Agents and Subscriber is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party as required by applicable law in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

(f) Each party hereto shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

(g) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Subscribed Units acquired hereunder, the Pubco Class A Common Stock acquired upon exchange of the Subscribed Units and the rights set forth in Section 6) may be transferred or assigned by Subscriber. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights or obligations that may accrue to the Company or Pubco hereunder may be transferred or assigned by the Company or Pubco without the prior written consent of Subscriber, other than in connection with the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of Subscriber) upon written notice to the Company, Pubco and SPAC or, with the Company, Pubco and SPAC’s prior written consent, to another person; provided that in the case of any such assignment, the assignee(s) shall become a Subscriber hereunder and have the rights and obligations and be deemed to make the representations and warranties of Subscriber provided for herein to the extent of such assignment; and provided, further, that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning Subscriber of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations, unless the Company, Pubco and SPAC have given their prior written consent to such relief. Any purported assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 9(g) shall be null and void. In the event of such a transfer or assignment, Subscriber shall complete the form of assignment attached as Annex G hereto.

(h) All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Subscription Closing.

(i) The Company and Pubco may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company or Pubco may reasonably determine to be necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Subscribed Units and to register for resale Pubco Class A Common Stock into which the Subscribed Units are exchangeable, and Subscriber shall promptly provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures; provided that each of the Company and Pubco agrees to keep any such information provided by Subscriber confidential, except (A) as required by the federal securities laws, rules or regulations and (B) to the extent such disclosure is required by other laws, rules or regulations, at the request of the staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under the regulations of the Stock Exchange. Subscriber acknowledges that SPAC or Pubco may file a form of this Subscription Agreement with the Commission as an exhibit to a current or periodic report of SPAC or Pubco, an annex to a proxy statement of SPAC or Pubco or as an exhibit to a registration statement of Pubco.

(j) This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto; provided that no provision of this Subscription Agreement that references the Placement Agents may be amended, modified, terminated or waived in any manner that is adverse to the Placement Agents without the written consent of the Placement Agents.

(k) This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(l) Except with respect to the Placement Agents (who are third-party beneficiaries of the representations, warranties and covenants that reference the Placement Agents set forth herein) or as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns and, except with respect to the Placement Agents or as otherwise as provided herein, is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

(m) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company and Pubco shall be entitled to specifically enforce Subscriber’s obligations to fund the Subscription and the provisions of the Subscription Agreement, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree: (x) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy; (y) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 9(m) is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason; and (z) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(n) If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

(o) No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by a party hereto, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by a party hereto shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

(p) This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail, in .pdf or other electronic submission) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(q) This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state.

(r) EACH PARTY AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OR RELATED TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER SUCH PARTY, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.

(s) The parties agree that all disputes, legal actions, suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement must be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of New York or the courts of the United States located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, New York (collectively, the “Designated Courts”). Each party hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Designated Courts. No legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to this Subscription Agreement may be brought in any other forum. Each party hereby irrevocably waives all claims of immunity from jurisdiction, and any objection which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in any Designated Court, including any right to object on the basis that any dispute, action, suit or proceeding brought in the Designated Courts has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum or venue. Each of the parties also agrees that delivery of any process, summons, notice or document to a party hereof in compliance with Section 9(c) of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in a Designated Court with respect to any matters to which the parties have submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above.

(t) This Subscription Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Subscription Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Subscription Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto; except with respect to the provisions of this Subscription Agreement for which the Placement Agents are express third party beneficiaries.

(u) (i) SPAC and Pubco shall by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1st) business day immediately following the date of this Subscription Agreement, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) following the execution of the BCA, SPAC shall file with the Commission a “Current Report” on Form 8-K disclosing all material terms of the BCA, this Subscription Agreement, the Other LLC Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the Transactions, and including as exhibits thereto, the BCA, and the form of this Subscription Agreement, within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, each of SPAC and Pubco represents to the Subscriber that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information regarding SPAC or Pubco delivered to the Subscriber by or on behalf of the SPAC, Pubco or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents (including the Placement Agents) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the closing under the BCA, Subscriber shall not issue any press release or make any other similar public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of SPAC, the Company and Pubco (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, each of SPAC, the Company and Pubco (i) shall not publicly disclose the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers, or include the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers in any press release, without the prior written consent of Subscriber and (ii) shall not publicly disclose the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers, or include the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or trading market, without the prior written consent of Subscriber, except (A) as required by the federal securities laws, rules or regulations, including in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 6(a), and (B) to the extent such disclosure is required by other laws, rules or regulations, at the request of the staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under the regulations of the Stock Exchange, in which case of clause (A) or (B), the Company, SPAC or Pubco, as applicable, shall provide Subscriber with prior written notice (including by e-mail) of such permitted disclosure, and shall reasonably consult with Subscriber regarding such disclosure. Subscriber will promptly provide any information reasonably requested by the Company, SPAC or Pubco for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the Transactions (including filings with the Commission). To the extent that any such information is publicly disclosed pursuant to the provisions hereunder, the parties agree that no further notice or consent is required for SPAC or Pubco to further disclose such information.

(v) The obligations of Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other LLC Subscriber or any other investor under the Other LLC Subscription Agreements, and Subscriber shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other LLC Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement or any Other LLC Subscriber under the Other LLC Subscription Agreements. The decision of Subscriber to purchase Subscribed Units pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by Subscriber independently of any Other LLC Subscriber or any other investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company, SPAC, Pubco or any of their respective affiliates or subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other LLC Subscriber or investor or by any agent or employee of any Other LLC Subscriber or investor, and neither Subscriber nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other LLC Subscriber or investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other LLC Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or Other LLC Subscriber or other investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and any Other LLC Subscribers or other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and any Other LLC Subscribers or other investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other LLC Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other LLC Subscriber has acted as agent for Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other LLC Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection with monitoring its investment in the Subscribed Units or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other LLC Subscriber or investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

(w) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Subscription Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Subscription Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. Unless the context otherwise requires, (i) all references to Sections or Annexes are to Sections or Annexes contained in or attached to this Subscription Agreement, (ii) each accounting term not otherwise defined in this Subscription Agreement has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, (iii) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, (iv) the use of the word “including” in this Subscription Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation, and (v) the word “or” shall not be exclusive (i.e., unless context requires otherwise “or” shall be interpreted to mean “and/or” rather than “either/or”).

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Sponsor hereby, directly and/or indirectly through Dragonfly Ventures L.P., Dragonfly Ventures II, L.P., and/or other Sponsor controlled vehicles (the “Contributors”), sells, conveys, assigns, transfers and delivers for the benefit of the Vehicle, and the Vehicle purchases and assumes from the relevant Contributors, all of the Contributors’ rights, titles and interests in and to 1,960,040 Tokens (the “Contributed Tokens”), at a price per Token equal to the Sponsor Token Price free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, charges, security interests, or any restrictions of any kind, but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including the Excluded Assets (the “Sponsor Contributions”). The “Sponsor Token Price” shall be equal to the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Tokens denominated in U.S. dollars as calculated from all executed trades on the exchange operated by Binance Holdings Ltd. (or its successor primary spot exchange) over the five-day period ending at 8:00 pm New York City time on September 29, 2025; such VWAP shall be calculated by dividing the sum of the products of each trade’s price and volume by total volume of all trades during the specified thirty-day period. If the Contributors are unable to contribute the total amount of Contributed Tokens on the date hereof due to part or all of the Contributed Tokens being subject to lock-up restrictions, fund regulatory restrictions or consent requirements (the “Restricted Tokens”), the Contributors holding such Restricted Tokens shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver for the benefit of the Vehicle, and the Vehicle shall purchase and assume from the relevant Contributors any such number of Restricted Tokens as soon as commercially practicable after expiration of the relevant lock-up or fund regulatory restrictions, or receipt of the required consent, provided that the consideration to be paid by the Vehicle to the relevant Contributor for such Restricted Tokens pursuant to Section 1.4 below shall be reduced by (i) 15% if the relevant restrictions expire, or the required consent is received, on or before the date that is the one (1) year anniversary of the Token Closing, or (ii) 25% if the relevant restrictions expire, or the required consent is received, after the date that is the one (1) year anniversary of the Token Closing.

Neither the Contributed Tokens nor the Foundation Tokens or such Contributor Digital Wallets or Foundation Digital Wallets are subject to any liens, encumbrances or other restrictions;

(c) Each Contributor and the Foundation have taken commercially reasonable steps to protect its Contributor Digital Wallets and the Contributed Tokens or its Foundation Digital Wallets and the Foundation Tokens, respectively; and (d) Each Contributor and the Foundation have the exclusive ability to control such Contributor Digital Wallets or such Foundation Digital Wallets, respectively, including by use of “private keys” or other equivalent means or through custody arrangements or other equivalent means.

Section 2.4 Exclusivity and Vehicle Right of First Refusal.

(a) For a period of 18 months commencing from the Token Closing Date (the “Covered Period”), the Foundation shall not directly or indirectly, and will direct its directors, officers and employees (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, enter into any binding agreement to enter into a Competing Transaction. “Competing Transaction” means any sale of Tokens to any digital asset treasury vehicle (or a subsidiary or affiliate of any such vehicle) that has taken substantial steps to be listed (including by way of a reverse takeover of, or private investment into, an existing public company or a de-SPAC) on a U.S. national stock exchange with the sole operations or primary business model being dependent on owning Tokens (a “DAT”) or to any vehicle that is intended to be combined with or in the formation of a DAT.

(b) During the Covered Period, in respect of sales of Tokens that are not Competing Transactions, the Vehicle shall have a right of first refusal with respect to any such proposed sale of Tokens in one single transaction or a series of related transactions in each case to a single purchaser or group of affiliated purchasers (other than any sales of Tokens to a bona fide Business Strategic Partner) with an aggregate value to such purchaser or group of affiliated purchasers exceeding $75 million at a price representing a discount greater than 30% (based on the then-current/weighted 30-day trailing market price of the Token) (such proposed sale, the “Offer”). In such event, the Foundation shall furnish a written notice of such Offer (a “ROFR Offer Notice”) to the Vehicle within five (5) days from receipt of the Offer. For the purposes of this Section 2.4(b) “Business Strategic Partner” means any person or entity entering into an arrangement with a Foundation entity to acquire or utilize Tokens in connection with a strategic, business or operational purpose, and, to the best of the such Foundation entity’s knowledge, not to purchase Tokens primarily for investment, capital markets related or market making purposes.

(c) The ROFR Offer Notice shall include: (i) the number of Tokens that are the subject of the Offer (the “ROFR Tokens”); and (ii) the aggregate consideration for the ROFR Tokens (and per-ROFR Token consideration) as offered by or to the buyer (“ROFR Offer Price”). The ROFR Offer Notice may not be withdrawn after it has been given.

(d) The Vehicle shall have ten (10) calendar days following receipt of the ROFR Offer Notice (the “ROFR Period”) to do any of the following, in its sole discretion:

(i) Accept the offer to purchase all, but not less than all, of the ROFR Tokens on the terms set forth in the ROFR Offer Notice by furnishing a written notice to the Foundation (the “ROFR Acceptance Notice”);

(ii) elect not to issue a ROFR Acceptance Notice during such ten (10) calendar days period, in which case it shall be deemed not to have exercised its rights under this Section 2.4;

(iii) reject the offer to purchase all of the ROFR Tokens on the terms set forth in the ROFR Offer Notice (“ROFR Rejection Notice”).

(e) If a ROFR Acceptance Notice is given, within ten (10) calendar days following receipt of the ROFR Acceptance Notice, Avalanche BVI and the Vehicle shall enter into a token sale agreement for the sale of the ROFR Tokens to the Vehicle (the “ROFR Token Sale”) in a form materially similar to the Token Sale Agreement.

(f) If either: (i) a ROFR Rejection Notice is given in respect of the ROFR Offer Notice; or (ii) no ROFR Acceptance Notice or ROFR Rejection Notice is given by the Vehicle within the ROFR Period (in which case a ROFR Rejection Notice shall be deemed to have been given), then the Foundation shall thereafter be free to sell the ROFR Tokens to the buyer at a purchase price not less than the ROFR Offer Price.

(g) The Foundation shall have a commercially reasonable amount of time after the date on which the token sale agreement for the ROFR Token Sale is executed to complete such sale, failing which it shall be necessary for a separate ROFR Offer Notice to be furnished to the Vehicle, and the terms and provisions of Section 2.4(b) through Section 2.4(f) and this Section 2.4(g) shall be separately complied with, in order to complete a sale of such ROFR Tokens.

(h) If Vehicle fails to list on a U.S. national stock exchange by April 30, 2026 with assets of at least $300 million in Tokens plus $100 million in cash or cash equivalents, the rights and obligations under this Section 2.4, shall automatically terminate, without prejudice to, and without limiting or waiving, any other rights, remedies, or obligations of the parties under this Agreement (other than those expressly terminated pursuant to this Section 2.4).

(i) Notwithstanding the above, the Foundation may contribute and/or sell, in a one-off transaction, Tokens in connection with the launch of: (i) Project Snowball; or (ii) in case Project Snowball does not close, another project. For the avoidance of doubt, the Foundation shall only contribute and/or sell Tokens in one single transaction.

Section 2.5 Confidentiality. The parties acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Agreement, as well as any information disclosed or provided by either party in connection with this Agreement, are subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement entered into between the parties, dated September 5, 2025 (the “NDA”). All information exchanged pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed “Confidential Information” as defined in the NDA and shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of the NDA.

Section 2.6 Vehicle Board.

(a) The Parties agree that the Foundation shall for a period of five (5) years from the BCA Closing Date (the “Initial Period”) be entitled to designate an individual to be appointed to the board of directors of Pubco at BCA Closing (the “Foundation Designee”). The Sponsor, Pubco and the Vehicle shall take all actions necessary to cause the appointment of the Foundation Designee to the board of directors of Pubco at BCA Closing.

(b) In addition, if after the expiration of the Covered Period but prior to the expiration of the Initial Period, the Foundation sells, conveys, assigns, transfers, and delivers for the benefit of the Vehicle additional Tokens to Pubco, the Vehicle or any of its affiliates on mutually agreed terms in a transaction that is comparable in Token size and discount to the Foundation Token Sale (a “Subsequent Token Sale”), the right of the Foundation to designate an individual to be appointed to the board of directors of Pubco as described above shall be extended for an additional three (3) years from the expiration of the Initial Period (the “Extended Period”). Each Subsequent Token Sale made before the expiration of the then-current Extended Period shall further extend this right for an additional three (3) years from the expiration of such Extended Period.

Section 2.7 Foundation Right of First Refusal.

The term “Vehicle Offer” shall not include sales resulting from forfeitures of pledges of Foundation Tokens (where otherwise permitted) and, for the avoidance of doubt, sales or subscriptions of securities in the Vehicle or Pubco.

(b) The Vehicle ROFR Offer Notice shall include: (i) the number of Foundation Tokens that are the subject of such proposed sale (the “Vehicle ROFR Tokens”); and (ii) the aggregate consideration for the Vehicle ROFR Tokens (and per-Vehicle ROFR Token consideration) as offered by the buyer (“Vehicle ROFR Offer Price”).

(d) If a Vehicle ROFR Acceptance Notice is given, within ten (10) calendar days following receipt of such Vehicle ROFR Acceptance Notice, the Vehicle and Avalanche BVI shall enter into an agreement for the sale of the Vehicle ROFR Tokens to the Foundation (the “Vehicle ROFR Token Sale”);

(e) If either: (i) a Vehicle ROFR Rejection Notice is given in respect of the Vehicle ROFR Offer Notice; or (ii) no Vehicle ROFR Acceptance Notice or Vehicle ROFR Rejection Notice is given by the Foundation within the Vehicle ROFR Period (in which case a Vehicle ROFR Rejection Notice shall be deemed to have been given), then the Vehicle shall thereafter be free to sell the Vehicle ROFR Tokens to the buyer at a purchase price not less than the Vehicle ROFR Offer Price; and

(f) The Vehicle shall have a commercially reasonable amount of time after the date on which the token sale agreement is executed in connection with the Vehicle ROFR Token Sale to complete such sale, failing which it shall be necessary for a separate Vehicle ROFR Offer Notice to be furnished to the Foundation, and the terms and provisions of Section 2.7(b) through Section 2.7(e) and this Section 2.7(f) shall be separately complied with, in order to complete a sale of such Vehicle ROFR Tokens.

EXHIBIT A

The Consideration Shares and Consideration Warrants

THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE CONSIDERATION SHARES AND CONSIDERATION WARRANTS DESCRIBED HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR FOREIGN JURISDICTION. THIS TRANSACTION IS BEING MADE ONLY WITHIN THE UNITED STATES TO “ACCREDITED INVESTORS” (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 501 OF THE SECURITIES ACT). THE CONSIDERATION SHARES AND THE CONSIDERATION WARRANTS MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN LAWS.

Avalanche Cayman hereby agrees and represents to the Vehicle as follows:

1. Avalanche Cayman understands that the Consideration Shares and the Consideration Warrants will bear the following legend:

THE [CONSIDERATION SHARES / CONSIDERATION WARRANTS] PURCHASED HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR FOREIGN JURISDICTION. THIS SALE IS BEING MADE ONLY TO “ACCREDITED INVESTORS” (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 501 OF THE SECURITIES ACT). THE [CONSIDERATION SHARES / CONSIDERATION WARRANTS] MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE AND FOREIGN SECURITIES LAWS PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT, UNLESS SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. THE [CONSIDERATION SHARES / CONSIDERATION WARRANTS] HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED TO HOLD FOR THE LONG TERM AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF.

2. Avalanche Cayman is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act (i.e., (a) a natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person’s spouse, at the time of his or her purchase exceeds $1,000,000, (b) a natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those two years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year, (c) a corporation, limited liability company or partnership having total assets in excess of $5,000,000 that was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Consideration Shares and the Consideration Warrants pursuant to this Contribution Agreement, or (d) otherwise meets the requirements for an “accredited investor” under Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act). Avalanche Cayman has accurately and completely completed the accredited investor verification process required by the Vehicle, if any.

3. Neither Avalanche Cayman nor any person acting on its behalf has undertaken or carried out any activity for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the Consideration Shares and Consideration Warrants. Avalanche Cayman agrees not to cause any advertising of the Consideration Shares and Consideration Warrants to be published in any publication or posted in any public space and not to issue any circular relating to the Consideration Shares and Consideration Warrants in the United States.

4. Neither (i) Avalanche Cayman, (ii) any of its directors, executive officers, other officers that may serve as director or officer of any company in which it invests, general partners or managing partners, nor (iii) any beneficial owner of the voting equity securities of the Vehicle (in accordance with Rule 262 of the Securities Act) is subject to the disqualifying events listed in Rule 506(d)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act (a “Company Event”), and there is no proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Avalanche Cayman, threatened by any governmental authority, that would reasonably be expected to become the basis for a Company Event.

In the case of (A) the Initial Shelf Registration Statement, Pubco shall (x) file a Form S-1 Shelf to effect the registration of all Registrable Securities as soon as practicable, but not more than thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, and (y) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the earlier of (i) the tenth (10th) business day after the date Pubco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Initial Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review and (ii) the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the initial filing date of the Initial Shelf Registration Statement if the Commission notifies Pubco that it will review the Initial Registration Statement (the “Initial Shelf Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that (I) if the Initial Shelf Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Initial Shelf Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business and (II) if the Commission is closed for operations due to a government shutdown, the Initial Shelf Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the same number of calendar days as the number of calendar days during which the Commission remains closed; (B) a Form S-3 Shelf, as soon as practicable thereafter, but not more than thirty (30) calendar days after Pubco’s initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on Form S-3, Pubco shall register all or such portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such written request, together with all or such portion of Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in the written notification given by such Holder or Holders; provided, however, that Pubco shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration if (x) a Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (y) the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the Holders of any other equity securities of Pubco entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities and such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public expected by such Holders to be less than $10,000,000; and (C) a Form S-1 Shelf, Pubco shall effect, as soon thereafter as practicable, the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by such Holders, including by (x) filing or confidentially submitting a Form S-1 Shelf relating thereto as soon as practicable, but not more than forty five (45) calendar days immediately after Pubco’s receipt of such written request for a Registration on a Form S-1 Shelf, and (y) shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such Form S-1 Shelf become effective as soon as practicable after Pubco’s receipt of such notice but in any event no later than within ninety (90) calendar days or, if the Form S-1 Shelf is reviewed by, and comments thereto are provided from, the Commission, within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days; provided, further that Pubco shall request the Form S-1 Shelf declared effective as soon as practicable but in any event no later than within five (5) business days after the date Pubco is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the staff of the Commission that the Form S-1 Shelf will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review; provided, however, that Pubco shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration if the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the Holders of any other equity securities of Pubco entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities and such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public expected by such Holders to be less than $10,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, any Registration pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 shall not count as a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2.1.1.

2.3.2 Underwritten Shelf Offerings. At any time that a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, if any Significant Specified Holder delivers a notice to Pubco stating that it intends to sell all or part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities included on the Shelf Registration Statement in an Underwritten Offering, then Pubco shall promptly amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement, as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to an Underwritten Offering; provided, that subsections 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

2.4 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and (a) Pubco and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer, (b) the filing, initial effectiveness, or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of such Underwritten Offering at any time would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to Pubco for reasons beyond Pubco’s control, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be detrimental to Pubco and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case Pubco shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be detrimental to Pubco for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, Pubco shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than thirty (30) calendar days; provided, however, that Pubco shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12-month period.

3.1.1 prepare and file with the Commission, within the time frame required by Section 2.1.1, a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or are no longer outstanding (such period, the “Effectiveness Period”);
