Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
Business Combination Agreement
On August 11, 2023, Mountain & Co. I Acquisition Corp.,
a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Mountain”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Mountain,
Futbol Club Barcelona, a sport association (asociación deportiva) (“FCB”), and Barça Produccions
S.L., a Spanish limited liability corporation wholly owned by FCB (“BP”). The Business Combination Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of Mountain and FCB.
The Business Combination Agreement provides for a series of transactions,
pursuant to which, among other things:
| (a) | Prior
to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the
“Closing”), (i) each of FCB and BP will, and will cause its
applicable subsidiaries to, contribute, assign, transfer, and convey or, with Mountain’s
prior written direction or approval, license or sublicense, all of its or their respective
right, title and interest in, to, and under the Transferred Assets (as defined in the Business
Combination Agreement) to Bridgeburg Invest, S.L., a Spanish private limited liability company
(the “Company”), and (ii) the Company will assume, pay, perform and
discharge when due the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement),
in each case, in exchange for the ordinary shares of the Company (the “Bridgeburg
Ordinary Shares”) (such transactions, collectively, the “Pre-Closing Reorganization”); |
| (b) | At the Closing, BP and each Bridgeburg Minority Shareholder
(as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) will contribute, or cause to be contributed, all of the issued and outstanding Bridgeburg
Ordinary Shares owned by it to a newly-formed Netherlands private limited liability company to be renamed Barça Media (“TopCo”)
in return for 15,000 newly-issued ordinary shares of TopCo ( “TopCo Ordinary Shares”) for each Bridgeburg Ordinary
Share contributed (the “Share Exchange”). The consideration mechanics in the Business Combination Agreement assume
a pre-money valuation of the Business (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) of $900 million, a $10.00 per share price of
TopCo Ordinary Shares at the Closing, and that BP will receive 67.95 million TopCo Ordinary Shares in exchange for the Bridgeburg Ordinary
Shares owned by it pursuant to the Share Exchange at the Closing; |
| (c) | Immediately after giving effect to the Share Exchange, TopCo will (i) change its legal form to a public limited company (naamloze
vennootschap) and (ii) amend and restate its articles of association pursuant to a notarial deed and, as so amended and restated,
such articles of association will be the governing documents of TopCo; |
| (d) | At the Closing, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Merger Sub”), which will be a wholly owned subsidiary of TopCo,
will merge with and into Mountain (the “Merger”), with Mountain as the surviving company (the “Surviving Company”)
in the Merger and, after giving effect to the Merger, the Surviving Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of TopCo, and each issued
and outstanding Mountain Class A ordinary share (the “Mountain Class A Shares”) and Mountain Class B
ordinary share (the “Mountain Class B Shares” and, together with the Mountain Class A Shares, the “Mountain
Shares”) will be automatically cancelled and extinguished and converted into one Class A ordinary share of the Surviving
Company; |
| (e) | Immediately following the effective time of the Merger (the “Merger Effective Time”), Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company (the “Exchange Agent”) will contribute each of the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares
of the Surviving Company that were issued to the Exchange Agent to TopCo, as a contribution in kind, and, in consideration of this contribution
in kind, TopCo will issue to the Exchange Agent one TopCo Ordinary Share in respect of each Class A ordinary share of the Surviving
Company so contributed; |
| (f) | As a result of the Merger, each outstanding warrant to purchase one Mountain Class A Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject
to adjustment in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2021, between Mountain and Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company (such Warrant Agreement, the “Warrant Agreement” and each such warrant, a “Mountain Warrant”)
will, by its terms, convert into a warrant to purchase one TopCo Ordinary Share (a “Converted Warrant”) on the same
contractual terms and conditions as were in effect at the Merger Effective Time under the terms of the Warrant Agreement; provided,
that each Converted Warrant: (i) will represent the right to acquire the number of TopCo Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Mountain
Class A Shares subject to each such Mountain Warrant immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time; (ii) will have an exercise
price of $11.50 per whole warrant required to purchase one TopCo Ordinary Share; and (iii) will expire on the five-year anniversary
of the Closing; |
| (g) | As of immediately prior the Merger Effective Time, TopCo will enter into a warrant assumption agreement, pursuant to which, among
other things, TopCo will assume all obligations of Mountain under the Warrant Agreement; and |
| (h) | At the Merger Effective Time, each Mountain Share held immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time by Mountain as treasury shares
will be cancelled and extinguished, and no consideration will be paid with respect thereto. |
The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement
are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.”
The Business Combination is expected to close in the fourth quarter
of 2023, subject to the receipt of the required approval by Mountain’s shareholders and the general assembly of the members of FCB
(the “FCB General Assembly”), as well as the satisfaction of other closing conditions described below under “Conditions
to Each Party’s Obligations”. Effective as of the Closing, the board of directors of TopCo will consist of 10 directors, including one director designated by LIBERO
(as defined below) and one director designated by Holding (as defined below).
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
The Business Combination Agreement contains representations and warranties
of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type regarding themselves. The representations and warranties
of the parties contained in the Business Combination Agreement will terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the closing
of the Business Combination.
The Business Combination Agreement also contains covenants by
Mountain, FCB, BP, TopCo and the Company which require, among other things, (i) the parties to take all such action as may be
necessary or appropriate such that, effective as of the Closing, the TopCo board of directors will consist of 10 directors,
(ii) the parties to not solicit, initiate, encourage, facilitate, discuss or negotiate or enter into any agreements for certain
alternative transactions, and (iii) the parties to negotiate in good faith ancillary documents, including a content production
and license agreement the terms of which shall be consistent with the IP term sheet attached as Exhibit A to the Business
Combination Agreement, under which FCB would grant an exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable license to TopCo to use and otherwise
exploit only in connection with the Business (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) certain trademarks, logos, and
brands, as well as copyrights, publicity rights (e.g., name, image, likeness) or other intellectual property rights that are owned
or licensable by FCB or any of its affiliates during a term of 20 years (which will automatically be extended for consecutive 20
year terms, unless terminated earlier on the terms and conditions set forth therein).
Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations
The obligation of Mountain and FCB to consummate the Business
Combination is subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the absence of any order or law issued
by any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental entity or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the
consummation of the Business Combination, (ii) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-4 relating to the
Business Combination (the “Registration Statement”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), registering the TopCo Ordinary Shares and the TopCo Warrants to be
issued in connection with the Merger, (iii) the required approval of Mountain’s shareholders, (iv) the required
approval of the FCB General Assembly, (v) TopCo having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance
with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))
immediately after the Closing, (vi) unpaid expenses of BP, the Company (and their respective subsidiaries), TopCo and Merger
Sub not exceeding €10 million and unpaid expenses of Mountain not exceeding €40 million, (vii) the consummation of
the Pre-Closing Reorganization by the parties, (viii) the receipt by the RemainCo Entities (as defined in the Business
Combination Agreement) of approximately the following amounts in cash in connection with the Business Combination by the following
specified dates: (A) €20 million on or prior to August 11, 2023; (B) €20 million on or prior to
August 11, 2023; and (C) €20 million (the “Third Tranche”) on or prior to August 21, 2023
(however, if the RemainCo Entities have received at least €10 million of the Third Tranche on or prior to August 21,
2023, then this condition will only be deemed unsatisfied if the RemainCo Entities have not received the remaining unfunded portion
of the Third Tranche prior to or on August 29, 2023) (the “Proceeds Condition”), (ix) as of the
Closing, TopCo, Mountain and their respective subsidiaries having in the aggregate not less than €50 million in cash pursuant
to amounts held in or out of the Trust Account (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) or raised in a financing as
measured prior to the payment of the transaction expenses and (x) the approval by the Nasdaq Stock Market of TopCo’s
initial listing application in connection with the Business Combination. Mountain cannot assure you that its plans to complete the Business Combination will be successful or that financing, if
any, will be obtained in connection with the Business Combination. If these conditions are not satisfied, amended or waived by the parties
pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, then the Business Combination would not be consummated.
Termination
The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under
certain limited circumstances prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, (i) by mutual
written consent of Mountain and FCB, (ii) by Mountain if the representations and warranties of FCB, BP, TopCo, the Company or
Merger Sub are not true and correct or if FCB, TopCo, the Company or Merger Sub fail to perform any covenant or agreement set forth
in the Business Combination Agreement such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such
representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured
within certain specified time periods, (iii) by FCB if the representations and warranties of Mountain are not true and correct
or if Mountain fails to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in the Business Combination Agreement such that certain
conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform
such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iv) subject
to certain limited exceptions, by Mountain or FCB if the Business Combination is not consummated on or prior to August 11,
2024, (v) by Mountain or FCB if certain required approvals from Mountain shareholders are not obtained after the conclusion of
a meeting of Mountain’s shareholders held for such purpose, (vi) by either Mountain or FCB, if any governmental entity of
competent jurisdiction will have issued an order permanently enjoining or prohibiting the Business Combination and such order will
have become final and nonappealable, and (vii) by Mountain or FCB if the required approvals from the FCB General Assembly are
not obtained after the conclusion of a meeting of the FCB General Assembly held for such purpose.
If the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated, none of
the parties to the Business Combination Agreement will have any liability or any further obligation under the Business Combination Agreement,
except in the case of fraud or any willful and material breach of the Business Combination Agreement and for customary obligations that
survive the termination thereof (such as confidentiality obligations).
The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and
the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety
by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference. The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties
made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates, as specified therein. The assertions
embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are
subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The Business
Combination Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other
factual information about Mountain, FCB or any other party to the Business Combination Agreement. In particular, the representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Business Combination Agreement may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the
contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between
the parties to the Business Combination Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality
applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the U.S. Securities

to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other

not decrease or increase significantly.
Additional Information and Where to Find It

to file with the SEC the Registration Statement that will include a prospectus with respect to TopCo’s securities to be issued in
connection with the Business Combination and a proxy statement with respect to the shareholder meeting of Mountain to vote on the Business
Combination. Shareholders of Mountain and other interested persons are encouraged to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus
as well as other documents to be filed with the SEC because these documents will contain important information about TopCo, the Company,
Mountain and the Business Combination. After the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus
to be included in the Registration Statement will be mailed to shareholders of Mountain as of a record date to be established for voting

including the proxy statement/prospectus, and other documents filed with the SEC without charge, by directing a request to: Mountain &
Co. I Acquisition Corp., 4001 Kennett Pike, Suite 302 Wilmington, Delaware 19807. The preliminary and definitive proxy statement/prospectus
to be included in the Registration Statement, once available, can also be obtained, without charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).

Mountain, the Company and TopCo and their respective directors
and executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the potential transaction

preliminary and definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the Registration Statement. Additional information regarding
the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed participants in the solicitation of Mountain’s shareholders in
connection with the potential transaction will be set forth in the preliminary and definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be
included in the Registration Statement. These documents are available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by

to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction; the amount of redemption requests made by Mountain’s public shareholders;
whether TopCo’s shares will be approved for listing on the Nasdaq and the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following
the consummation of the proposed transaction; the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations as a result
of the announcement and thereafter; costs related to the proposed transaction; the Company’s ability to grow and achieve its business
objectives; the effects of competition on the Company’s future business; changes in consumer viewing habits and the emergence

Section 2.1
Closing Transactions. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Agreement, the following transactions shall occur in the order set forth in this Section 2.1:
(a) TopCo,
Merger Sub and Mountain Tax Residency. Prior to the closing of the Share Exchange, TopCo and Merger Sub shall adopt the necessary
actions (which shall include the appointment of directors and the adoption of resolutions by its governing bodies, and filing for the
establishment of a tax domicile and the registration of TopCo and Merger Sub with the Spanish census of taxpayers) to ensure that TopCo
and Merger Sub are tax resident entities in Spain for Spanish corporate income tax purposes, pursuant to Section 8.1.c) of the Spanish
CIT Act and, in case of TopCo, also for purposes of the convention between the Netherlands and Spain for the avoidance of double taxation
with respect to taxes on income and on capital (as may be renegotiated).
(b) Mountain
Tax Residency and Registered Office. Mountain shall take all reasonable actions to ensure that the Surviving Company (as defined below)
will be in a position to claim tax resident status in Spain for Spanish corporate income tax purposes pursuant to Section 8.1.c)
of the Spanish CIT Act immediately after the Closing, including by (i) appointing designees to the board of directors of the Surviving
Company that would take effect as of immediately following the Closing; (ii) adopting resolutions of the Board of Directors specifying
Mountain’s intent to be a tax resident in Spain for Spanish corporate income tax purposes immediately after the Closing; and (iii) filing
for the establishment of a tax domicile and the registration of Surviving Company with the Spanish census of taxpayers with effects immediately
after the Closing. In addition, immediately after the Closing, Mountain shall take all reasonable actions to ensure that as soon as possible
in accordance with all applicable laws the Surviving Company establishes its registered office in Spain (as a private limited liability
company -sociedad limitada- or a public limited liability company -sociedad anónima- at the discretion of Mountain),
which at that time will not be a listed entity.
(c) Share
Exchange. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, BP (and FCB shall cause BP to)
and each Bridgeburg Minority Shareholder shall contribute or cause to be contributed all of the issued and outstanding Bridgeburg Shares

Agreement”) and a notarial deed of issue of shares in TopCo governed by Dutch Law (and executed by a civil-law notary officiating
in the Netherlands) (the “Dutch Deed of Issue”), under which TopCo will issue to each such holder of Bridgeburg Shares
their respective Share Consideration in return for the contribution by each such holder of Bridgeburg Shares of all of the issued and
outstanding Bridgeburg Ordinary Shares owned by it, and (ii) immediately following the execution of the Dutch Deed of Issue, entering
with TopCo into a notarized “transfer deed” governed by Spanish Law, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mountain
(the “Spanish Transfer Deed”), under which BP will (and FCB shall cause BP to) and each Bridgeburg Minority Shareholder
will assign and transfer to TopCo all of the issued and outstanding Bridgeburg Shares owned by such holders of Bridgeburg Shares in fulfilment
of the obligations of such holders of Bridgeburg Shares under the Share Contribution Agreement and the Dutch Deed of Issue to pay up the
respective TopCo Ordinary Shares by payment in kind (the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.1(c), the “Share
Exchange”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties hereby agree that the Share Consideration, Merger Consideration and other

with such merger, to be duly executed and properly filed with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies (the “Cayman Registrar”),

purchase one TopCo Ordinary Share; and (c) shall expire on the five year anniversary of the Closing Date. TopCo shall enter into

Article III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RELATING TO FCB, BP AND THE GROUP COMPANIES
Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure
Schedules (it being agreed that for purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in this Article III, disclosure
of any item in any section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section
or subsection to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent on its face), BP represents and warrants to Mountain as of the
date hereof and as of the Closing, as follows:
Section 3.1 Organization
and Qualification.
(a) FCB
and each Group Company is a sport association, corporation, limited liability company, a public limited company or other applicable business
entity duly organized, incorporated or formed, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing (or the equivalent thereof, if applicable,
in each case, with respect to the jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing or any equivalent thereof) under the Laws
of its jurisdiction of formation or organization (as applicable). Section 3.1(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules sets forth
the jurisdiction of formation or organization (as applicable) for each Group Company. FCB and each Group Company has the requisite sport
association, corporate, limited liability company or other applicable business entity power and authority to own, lease and operate its
properties and to carry on its businesses as presently conducted, except where the failure to have such power or authority would not
be material to FCB or any Group Company or would not or would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair
the ability of FCB or any Group Company to consummate the Transactions.
(b) True
and complete copies of the Governing Documents of FCB and each Group Company have been made available to Mountain, in each case, as amended
and in effect as of the date hereof. The Governing Documents of FCB and each Group Company are in full force and effect, and neither
FCB nor any Group Company is in breach or violation of any provision set forth in their respective Governing Documents. Neither FCB nor
any of its Affiliates (other than the Group Companies) own or hold (or will own or hold at any time as of or prior to the Closing) or
otherwise have any rights with respect to any of the Transferred Assets or are (or will be at any time as of or prior to the Closing)
subject to any of Assumed Liabilities.
(c) Each
Group Company is duly qualified or licensed to transact business and is in good standing (or the equivalent thereof, if applicable, in
each case, with respect to the jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing or any equivalent thereof) in each jurisdiction
in which the property and assets owned, leased or operated by it, or the nature of the business conducted by it, makes such qualification
or licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing would not be material to any
Group Company or would not or would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of any Group
Company to consummate the Transactions.
(d) None
of the Group Companies are subject to any mandatory cause for dissolution pursuant to Section 363 of the Spanish Companies Act.
Each Group Company is in full compliance with the equity ratio set forth in Section 363.1(e) of the Spanish Companies Act.
(e) No
Order has been made, petition presented or meeting (of equityholders or otherwise) convened for the bankruptcy, winding up (voluntary
or mandatory) or granting of pre-insolvency protection (as per Section 583 et seq. of the Spanish Insolvency Act or as per
any other applicable Laws), or for the appointment of any provisional liquidator or in relation to any other process whereby the assets
of the Business are distributed amongst its creditors and/or shareholders or other contributors, and there are no Proceedings under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, corporate or similar applicable Law, would be reasonably likely to justify any such
Proceedings. No receiver or trustee has been appointed in respect of the whole or any part of any of the property or assets of the Business,
nor has any such Order been made (including, in any relevant jurisdiction, any other Order by which, during the period it is in force,
the affairs and assets of the Business are managed by a person appointed for the purpose by a Governmental Entity or similar body). Neither
BP, Bridgeburg nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps with a view to a suspension of payments or a moratorium of any Indebtedness

be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Person without the consent of such D&O Person. The provisions
of this Section 6.15 shall survive the Closing and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the
D&O Persons, each of whom is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 6.15.

prior to or on August 21, 2023 (as extended pursuant to clause (A) below, the “Proceeds Condition Deadline”,
and the condition described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the “Proceeds Condition”); provided,
that (A) if the RemainCo Entities have received less than the entire amount of, but at least €10 million of the Third Tranche

Section 7.4 Frustration
of Closing Conditions. None of FCB, BP, TopCo, Bridgeburg or Merger Sub may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in
this Article VII to be satisfied if such failure was proximately caused of FCB, BP, TopCo Bridgeburg or Merger Sub’s
failure to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Closing to occur, as required by Section 6.2, or such Party’s breach
of this Agreement. Mountain may not rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article VII to be satisfied if

forthwith become void (and there shall be no Liability or obligation on the part of the Parties or their Affiliates or their respective
Representatives) with the exception of (a) Section 6.3, this Section 8.2, Article I and Article X,
each of which shall survive such termination and remain valid and binding obligations of the Parties and (b) the Confidentiality
Agreement, which shall survive such termination and remain valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto in accordance with its
terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 shall not affect any Liability
on the part of any Party for fraud or a willful and material breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary
Document prior to such termination or actual fraud.
Article IX
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 9.1 Survival.
None of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing, except for the
covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part at or after the Closing, which covenants and agreements
shall survive in accordance with their terms.
Section 9.2 Indemnification
by FCB. Following the Closing, FCB and its Subsidiaries (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Group Companies) shall indemnify,
defend, hold harmless and reimburse the Group Companies and their respective successors and permitted assigns, in their capacity as such
(collectively, the “Group Company Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against all Losses imposed on, incurred or suffered
by or asserted against any Group Company Indemnified Party in connection with or arising out of any Excluded Liabilities (whether as a
first party or third party claim).
Section 9.3 Indemnification
by TopCo. Following the Closing, TopCo and its Subsidiaries shall indemnify, defend, hold harmless and reimburse FCB and the other
RemainCo Entities and their respective successors and permitted assigns, in their capacity as such (collectively, the “FCB Indemnified
Parties”), for, from and against all Losses imposed on, incurred, suffered or asserted in connection with or arising out of
any Assumed Liabilities (whether as a first party or third party claim).
Section 9.4 Claim
Procedures.
(a) In
order for a Group Company Indemnified Party or a FCB Indemnified Party (any of them, an “Indemnified Party”) to duly
make a valid claim with respect to any of the occurrences specified in Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, the Indemnified
Party must (promptly following the first date following the Closing Date on which such Indemnified Party has knowledge of facts, matters
or circumstances from which it is reasonably apparent that such an occurrence is likely to have occurred) provide written notice to FCB
(for claims made by Group Company Indemnified Parties) or to TopCo (for claims made by FCB Indemnified Parties) (the recipient of such
notice, the “Indemnifying Party”), which notice shall set forth a description in reasonable detail of the occurrence(s) specified
in Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 which the Indemnified Party alleges to have occurred, a description of the facts
and circumstances giving rise to such occurrences, the estimated amount of Losses imposed, incurred, suffered or asserted in connection
therewith or arising therefrom (to the extent then ascertainable), and a description of any other remedy sought in connection therewith,
any relevant time constraints relating thereto and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim
Notice”). The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with and provide to the Indemnifying Party such information under the Indemnified
Party’s control as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request for the purposes of determining the validity of the allegations
made in the Claim Notice and shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably and promptly informed of factual and procedural developments
(including additional information which may come under the Indemnified Party’s control) in connection therewith. The Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid production of confidential information (consistent
with applicable Law) to third parties and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a
Third Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work product privileges.
(b) In
the event the Claim Notice results from any Proceeding asserted or threatened against, the Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third
Party Claim”):
(i) The
Indemnified Party shall provide the Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party not later than the 10th Business Day following the Indemnified
Party’s receipt of the Third Party Claim, and in any event not later than the 10th Business Day preceding the date by which an appearance
is required to be made before a court, arbitrator or other tribunal or an answer or similar pleading is required to be filed in a litigation
or other proceeding that the failure to timely provide a Claim Notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder
except to the extent that such failure has a material prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying
Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.
(ii) During
the period ending on the earlier of the 30th calendar day following the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the Claim Notice and the
fifth calendar day preceding the date on which an appearance is required to be made before a court, arbitrator or other tribunal or an
answer or similar pleading is required to be filed in a litigation or other proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to notify
the Indemnified Party of its election to assume and control the defense of the Third Party Claim, unless the Claim Notice states that
the Indemnified Party has determined in good faith that (i) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable or non-monetary
relief against the Indemnified Party (other than injunctive, equitable or non-monetary relief that is incidental to monetary damages as
the primary relief sought), (ii) the Third Party Claim arises in connection with any criminal matter or (iii) there is a reasonable
probability that the Third Party Claim may materially adversely affect the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates other than as a result
of monetary damages.
(A) In
the event that the Indemnifying Party is entitled to and duly and timely makes such election, the Indemnifying Party shall defend the
Indemnified Party by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power (as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party
and their respective Affiliates) to direct and control such defense and the settlement, arbitration, litigation and appellate strategy
relating to the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled but not obligated to participate in any such defense and to
employ separate counsel of its choosing for such purpose; provided, that the fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnified
Party and shall not be recoverable from such Indemnifying Party under this Section 9.4; provided, further, that,
if, in the reasonable advice of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there are defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different
from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then the reasonable fees and expenses of one external law firm to the
Indemnified Party shall be paid in accordance with Section 9.4(b)(iv)(A); provided, further, that, if (i) the
Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party are both named parties to the proceedings and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded
that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts between them or (ii) the
Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party has failed diligently to pursue a Third Party
Claim it has assumed, as provided in the first sentence of this Section 9.4(b)(ii)(A), the Indemnifying Party shall bear the
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of one additional counsel (in addition to, but only to the extent necessary,
one local counsel) which shall represent all Indemnified Parties arising out of the same or similar set of circumstances in connection
with such defense. If the Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to
settle such claims; provided, that, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle, compromise or offer to settle, compromise or cease
to defend such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or cessation would result in (i) any monetary liability of the Indemnified
Party that will not be promptly paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party; (ii) the imposition of a consent order, injunction
or decree that would materially restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; (iii) a
finding or admission of a material violation of Law or violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates;
(iv) a finding or admission that would have an adverse effect on other claims made or threatened against the Indemnified Party or
any of its Affiliates; or (v) any material non-monetary condition or obligation being imposed on any Indemnified Party or any of
its Affiliates.
(B) If
the Indemnifying Party (i) is not entitled to or does not duly and timely make such election, or (ii) after timely making such
election, fails to take reasonable steps to defend diligently the Third Party Claim within 10 Business Days after its receipt of written
notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled but
not obligated to notify the Indemnifying Party of its election to assume and control such defense from the Indemnifying Party, whereupon
the Indemnified Party and not the Indemnifying Party shall have the powers described in the first sentence of Section 9.4(b)(ii)(A);
provided that the Indemnified Party’s right to be indemnified, defended, held harmless and reimbursed in respect of the Third
Party Claim shall not otherwise be affected by such election; provided, further, that the Indemnified Party may not settle
any such matter without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed) if the Indemnified Party is seeking or will seek indemnification hereunder with respect to such matter. Notwithstanding anything
in the foregoing to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability with respect to a Third Party Claim settled without its
prior written consent (which shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(iii) The
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate investigation and defense of all
Third Party Claims, including by providing reasonable access to each other’s relevant business records, documents and employees,
for purposes of investigation, document production, testimony and otherwise. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall keep
each other fully and promptly informed with respect to the status of all Third Party Claims and shall deliver to each other copies of
all material written notices and documents (including court papers) received by the other that relate to any Third Party Claims. The Person
controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim shall in good faith allow the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, as the case may
be, to make comments to the materials filed or submitted in such defense, and shall consider such comments in good faith.
(iv) All
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees, costs and expenses actually incurred or suffered by the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending, and cooperating in the investigation and defense of, the Third Party
Claim (“Third Party Claim Expenses”) shall be paid as follows:
(A) Any
Third Party Claim Expenses actually incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party (1) prior to or in the absence of the due and timely
making of the election described in Section 9.4(b)(ii)(A), (2) under the circumstances described in the proviso to the
second sentence of such Section, (3) under the circumstances described in Section 9.4(b)(ii)(B) or (4) in compliance
with Section 9.4(b)(iii) shall constitute Losses for which the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be reimbursed if
the Indemnified Party is determined pursuant to a Final Determination to be entitled to be indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed pursuant
to this Article IX in respect of the Third Party Claim.
(B) Third
Party Claim Expenses actually incurred or suffered by the Indemnifying Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnified Party if the Indemnified
Party is determined pursuant to a Final Determination not to be entitled to be indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed pursuant to this
Article IX in respect of the Third Party Claim.
(C) Third
Party Claim Expenses not addressed by Section 9.4(b)(iv)(A) or (B) shall be paid by the Person by which they
were incurred.
Section 9.5 Recoveries.
(a) Insurance.
In calculating the amount of any Loss, the proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates under any insurance
policy or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, in each case relating to the matters
described in the Claim Notice and net of any Taxes, shall be deducted, except to the extent that the adjustment itself would excuse, exclude
or limit the coverage of all or part of such Loss. The Indemnified Party shall, use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any such
insurance or other proceeds from third parties to the same extent such Indemnified Party would recover such proceeds if such Losses were
not subject to indemnification hereunder). In the event that, after having complied with the preceding sentence, an Indemnified Party
still has any rights against a third party with respect to any occurrence, claim or Loss that results in a payment by an Indemnifying
Party under this Article IX, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to such rights to the extent of such payment. Each
Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect
the subrogation and subordination rights detailed herein, and otherwise cooperate in the prosecution of such claims.
(b) Taxes.
In calculating the amount of any Loss, there shall be deducted an amount equal to any net Tax benefit actually realized as a result of
such Loss by the Person claiming such Loss in the taxable year in which such Loss occurred (determined on a “with and without”
basis).
(c) Reimbursement.
If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of a Loss after all or a portion of such Loss has been paid by
an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the
excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, plus the amount received from the third
party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of the Loss.
(d) No
Double Recovery. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover more than once in respect of the same Loss (notwithstanding that
such Loss may result from more than one of the occurrences specified in Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as the case
may be).
Section 9.6 Payments.
(a) The
Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of any Loss for which it is liable hereunder, in immediately available
funds, to an account specified by the Indemnified Party no later than 5 Business Days following any Final Determination of the claims
set forth in the related Claim Notice.
(b) Except
as otherwise required by Law, all payments made by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim pursuant to Section 9.2
or Section 9.3 shall be treated as adjustments to the consideration paid pursuant to the Transactions for Tax purposes.
Section 9.7 Exclusive
Remedies. Following the Closing, no Party shall assert against any other Party any claim, cause of action, right or remedy, or
any Proceeding, relating to this Agreement, the Transactions or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith,
other than (i) claims pursuant to this Article IX, (ii) claims for actual fraud or willful breach, (iii) claims
pursuant to Section 10.15 and/or with respect to covenants to be performed at or following the Closing, and (iv) claims
pursuant to the terms of any Ancillary Document. Following the Closing, the claims and remedies specified in clauses (i) through
(iv) of the previous sentence shall constitute the Parties’ sole and exclusive rights and remedies available to the
Indemnified Parties for any and all Losses or other claims relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transactions and any document
or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, and shall supersede all other rights and remedies available at law or in
equity (including any right of rescission). Accordingly, effective as of the Closing, each Party hereby irrevocably waives and discharges,
and releases each other Party, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, from, all other claims, causes of action and Proceedings
relating thereto

Section 10.4 Governing
Law.
(a) This
Agreement, and all Proceeding (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement,
or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related
to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall
be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations, without giving
effect to any borrowing statute or applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws (including
statutes of limitation) of another jurisdiction (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) would be required thereby,
except that (i) the Cayman Islands Act shall apply to the Merger and (ii) Spanish Law and Dutch Law shall apply to the Share
Exchange.
(b) Each
Party agrees that it shall bring any Proceeding in respect of any claim based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
Ancillary Document or the Transactions exclusively in the courts of the State of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States
of America located in the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”) and solely in connection with claims arising under
or relating to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen
Courts, (ii) waives any objection to the laying of venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives
any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party and (iv) agrees that mailing

Section 10.6 Construction;
Interpretation.
(a) The
table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be
deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to an Annex, Exhibit, Section or
Schedule, such reference shall be to an Annex, Exhibit, Section or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.
(b) If
a term is defined as one part of speech (such as a noun), it shall have a corresponding meaning when used as another part of speech (such
as a verb). The terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural and vice versa. The rule known as
the ejusdem generis rule shall not apply, and accordingly, general words introduced by the word “other” shall
not be given a restrictive meaning by reason of the fact that they are preceded by words indicating a particular class of acts, matters
or things. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, words importing the masculine gender shall include the feminine
and neutral genders and vice versa. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used
in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,”
“herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement
as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, currency amounts referenced herein are in U.S. Dollars. Any capitalized term used in any Schedule or
Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning given to them as set forth in this Agreement. All accounting terms
used herein and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings given to them under IFRS. References to “written” or
“in writing” include documents in electronic form or transmission by email.
(c) Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in this Agreement to any Law include the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, in each case as amended, re-enacted, consolidated or replaced from time to time and in the case of any such amendment, re-enactment,
consolidation or replacement, reference herein to a particular provision shall be read as referring to such amended, re-enacted, consolidated
or replaced provision and shall also include, unless the context otherwise requires, all applicable guidelines, bulletins or policies
made in connection therewith; provided, that for purposes of any representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement that
are made as of a specific date, references to any Law shall be deemed to refer to such Law as amended as of such date.
(d) Whenever
this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number shall refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified. Whenever any action
must be taken hereunder on or by a day that is not a Business Day, then such action may be validly taken on or by the next day that is
a Business Day.
(e) The
Parties have drafted this Agreement jointly through the exchange of drafts hereof, so no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring
or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
Section 10.7 Exhibits
and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules, or documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into
this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. The Schedules shall be arranged in Sections
and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered Sections and subsections set forth in this Agreement. The information and disclosures
set forth in the Schedules that correspond to the section or subsections of Article III, IV or V may not
be limited to matters required to be disclosed in the Schedules, and any such additional information or disclosure is for informational
purposes only and does not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature.
Section 10.8 Parties
in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted

Warrants owned by such Supporting Party as of the date hereof.
Section 1.3 Certain
Agreements of Supporting Parties.
(a) At
any meeting of the shareholders of Mountain SPAC, however called, or at any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstance in which

such meeting or otherwise cause all of its Mountain Class B Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating

not being fulfilled in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, this Agreement and the other Ancillary Documents, (y) prevent,
delay or impair consummation of the Transactions, or (z) facilitate any proposal relating to an Acquisition Proposal or any agreement
to enter into an Acquisition Proposal.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth herein, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that each Supporting Party signs this Agreement solely in such Supporting
Party’s capacity as a holder of Mountain Class B Shares or Mountain Warrants and not, if applicable, in such Supporting Party’s
capacity as director, officer, or employee of Mountain SPAC, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
nothing herein will in any way prevent, limit or otherwise restrict a director or officer of Mountain SPAC in the taking of any actions

as a director or officer of Mountain SPAC, or prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any director or officer
of Mountain SPAC from taking any action in his or her capacity as such director or officer, and no action taken in any such capacity
as an officer or director of Mountain SPAC shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement.
(b) Each

that the Supporting Party may transfer any such Mountain Class B Shares to any (x) Affiliates, (y) spouse, lineal descendant
or antecedent, brother or sister, adopted child or grandchild or the spouse of any child, adopted child, grandchild or adopted grandchild
of any Stockholder or any of its Affiliates, or (z) any trust, the trustees of which include only the Persons named in clause (y) and
the beneficiaries of which include only the Persons named in clause (y), in each case, if, and only if, such transferee of such Mountain
Class B Shares evidences in a writing reasonably satisfactory to Mountain SPAC such transferee’s agreement to be bound by
and subject to the terms and provisions hereof to the same effect as the Supporting Party.
Section 1.6 Waiver
of Anti-Dilution Provision. Each Supporting Party hereby (but subject to the consummation of the Transactions) waives (for itself,

of the Articles to have the Mountain Class B Shares convert to Mountain Class A Shares at a ratio of greater than one-for-one,
or any other adjustments or anti-dilution protections that arise in connection with the issuance of Mountain Class B Shares. The

Combination Agreement and this Agreement (and any shares of Mountain Class A Shares or equity-linked securities issued in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and this Agreement) and shall be void and of no force and effect
if the Business Combination Agreement shall be terminated for any reason.

RECITALS
| I. | BRIDGEBURG INVEST, S.L. is a Spanish private limited liability company (sociedad limitada), duly
incorporated and existing under the laws of Spain for an indefinite period of time, with registered office at Av. Arístides Maillol
s/n, 08028 Barcelona (Spain), with Spanish tax number [redacted], and registered with the Commercial Registry of Barcelona under volume
48357, sheet 214, page B-581306 (the “Company”). |
| II. | The Company’s corporate purpose is to hold, develop, manage and / or exploit digital content of
any form of related content to Fútbol Club Barcelona (“FCB”) in the Metaverse, NFTs and Utility Tokens (the
“Business”). |
Notwithstanding the above, the Parties
acknowledge that the scope of the Business shall be extended pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).
| III. | The Company’s share capital amounts to EUR 3,000, represented by 3,000 ordinary shares (participaciones
sociales), of EUR 1 of nominal value each, numbered 1 to 3,000. |
| IV. | On 29 July 2022, the company BARÇA PRODUCCIONS, S.L. (“BP”) and the company
SOCIOS DEPORTES SERVICES, S.L. (“SDS”) (having SDS’ position been assigned to the Seller, as further described
in Recital VI below), executed a sale and purchase agreement through which SDS acquired from BP, 735 Class A shares of the Company, numbers
1 to 735, both included, equivalent to 24.5% of the Company’s share capital (the “SDS Shares”), notarized before
the Notary Public of Barcelona Ms. Mariana Querejeta under number 1,640 of her records (the “SDS SPA”). |
For clarification purposes, an updated
cap table of the Company’s share capital has been included in Recital VIII of this Agreement.
On the same date (i.e., 29 July 2022),
in addition to the SDS SPA, BP, SDS and the Company entered into a shareholders’ agreement for the purposes of regulating their
relationship as shareholders of the Company and between themselves and the Company, which was notarized before the Notary Public of Barcelona
Ms. Mariana Querejeta under number 1,641 of her records which was subsequently amended as a result of the execution of the transaction
described in Recital VII below (the shareholders’ agreement, as amended from time to time, shall hereinafter be jointly referred
to as the “SHA”).
| V. | Under the SDS SPA, the total purchase price agreed by the parties therein (i.e., SDS, as purchaser, and
BP, as seller) for the SDS Shares was ONE HUNDRED MILLION EURO (EUR 100,000,000) (the “SDS Shares Purchase Price”). |
The payment of the SDS Shares Purchase
Price was configured by an initial payment of an amount of TEN MILLION EURO (EUR 10,000,000) which was executed by SDS to BP on the date
of execution of the SDS SPA (i.e., 29 July 2022) and three deferred payments (jointly, the “Deferred Payments”) of
an amount of THIRTY MILLION EURO (EUR 30,000,000) each with the first deferred payment being due on 15 June 2023 (the “First
Deferred Payment”), the second deferred payment being due on 15 June 2024 and the third deferred payment being due on 15 June
2025.
| VI. | On 11 August 2022, BP and the company ORPHEUS MEDIA, S.L. (“Orpheus”) executed
a sale and purchase agreement through which Orpheus acquired 735 Class A shares of the Company, numbers 1,501 to 2,235, both included,
equivalent to 24.5% of the Company’s share capital (the “Orpheus Shares”), which was notarized before the Notary
Public of Barcelona Mr. Gerardo Conesa Martínez under number 2,499 of his records (the “Orpheus SPA”). |
As a consequence of the execution
of the Orpheus SPA, on the same date (i.e., 11 August 2022), BP, SDS, Orpheus and the Company entered into an amendment to the SHA.
| VII. | On 10 November 2022, SDS transferred in favour of the Seller the SDS Shares and, therefore, the Seller,
as assignee, became holder of the aforementioned shares and all the rights, obligations, titles and interests of SDS under the SDS SPA.
Consequently, the Seller executed a deed of adherence to the SHA. |
In addition, on the same date, a pledge
under the laws of Luxembourg over 100% of the Seller’s share capital was granted by SDS, as pledgor and sole shareholder of the
Seller, and BP, as creditor (the “Pledge over the Seller’s Shares”).
The Pledge over the Seller’s
Shares was granted by SDS as security in favour of BP for the performance by the Seller of its undertakings as purchaser under the SDS
SPA and, specially, its undertaking to execute the Deferred Payments.
| VIII. | As a result of the transactions described in Recitals IV, VI and VII above, as of this date, the distribution
of Company’s share capital among the Shareholders is as follows: |

| IX. | The Purchaser has agreed to purchase and acquire full ownership of 147 Class A shares, numbered from 75
to 221 (both inclusive) which represent a stake of, approximately, 4.9% of the Company’s share capital (the “Shares”)
from the Seller, and the Seller has agreed to sell and transfer full ownership of such Shares to the Purchaser pursuant to the purchase
price, terms and conditions stipulated in this Agreement. |
NOW
THEREFORE, the Parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement in accordance with the following
CLAUSES
| 1. | Definitions and interpretation rules |
| 1.1. | Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, capitalized
terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in Schedule 1.1. |
| 1.2. | Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement
shall be interpreted in accordance with the construction rules set forth in Schedule 1.2. |
| 2. | Sale and purchase of the Shares |
| 2.1. | This Agreement sets out the terms and conditions through which
the Seller agrees to transfer and sell the Shares to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to acquire from the Seller the Shares, along
with all economic and political rights attached thereto, free from any Encumbrances except for any rights or obligations granted in favor
of BP or any other parties which are set forth in the SHA, the SDS SPA and/or in the Company’s by-laws. |
| 2.2. | Transfer of the Shares shall take place as follows: |
| (i) | 74 Shares numbered 75 to 148 (both included) (the “Initial Shares”) shall be transferred
upon notarization of the SPA Deed and receipt of the Initial Payment by BP; and |
| (ii) | The remaining 73 Shares (i.e. numbered 149 to 221, both included) (the “Second Shares”)
shall be transferred to the Purchaser with a title reservation (reserva de dominio) in favour of the Seller, which shall be released when
BP receives the Second Payment in full and the SPA Deed is notarized. |
Accordingly, notwithstanding the execution
of this Agreement and the SPA Deed, the Seller shall keep the full title and possession of the Second Shares until payment of the Second
Payment by the Purchaser and, if the Purchaser fails to make the Second Payment pursuant to Clause 3.2 below the Seller and/or BP shall
be entitled to either (i) require that the Purchaser makes the Second Payment, or (ii) if the Seller and BP determine that the Purchaser
is unable to make such Second Payment, terminate this transaction in relation to all the Shares (in which case the Purchaser will return
the relevant Shares to the Purchaser and the Seller will procure that BP will return the Purchase Price effectively paid to BP on belalf
of the Seller) or solely the Second Shares, and, in either case, claim the relevant Damages from the Purchaser.
Additionally, if (a) the Purchaser
fails to make the Second Payment, and (b) BP or the Seller elect only to terminate this Agreement in relation to the Second Shares, then
the Purchaser agrees to carry out any actions or execute any documents that may be necessary for the Seller to be able to transfer such
Second Shares to any other entity (including, but not limited to, to execute (a) the corresponding addendum to the SHA, and, where appropriate,
(b) the relevant corporate resolutions in order to waive any preferential acquisition rights they may hold over such Second Shares).
| 2.3. | The consideration to be paid by the Purchaser for the acquisition
of the Shares shall be the Purchase Price (as defined in Clause 3 below). |
The
purchase price to be paid by the Purchaser for the Shares is EUR 19,954,751.14 (the “Purchase Price”).
For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase
Price includes the price of the Shares along with all economic and political rights attached thereto.
| 3.2. | Payment of the Purchase Price |
The
Purchaser will pay the Purchase Price to BP, on account of the Seller, in order to comply with the Seller’s obligations corresponding
to the First Deferred Payment that should be executed by the Seller under the SDS SPA, through irrevocable wire transfers executed
on the applicable payment date to a bank account designated by BP.
The Purchase Price shall be configured
as follows:
| (i) | An initial EUR 10,045,248.87 payment (the “Initial Payment”) shall be executed by Purchaser
to BP on or before 11 August 2023 but not before the execution and public announcement of the Business Combination Agreement to be concluded
by and among the SPAC, FCB, BP; and |
| (ii) | A second EUR 9,909,502.27 payment (the “Second Payment”) shall be executed by Purchaser
to BP on or before 21 August 2023 (the “SP Longstop Date”). |
Notwithstanding
the above, in the event (a) the Purchaser fails to make the Second Payment in full on or before the SP Longstop Date, but (b) partially
pays the Second Payment to BP in an amount of at least EUR 5,000,000 on or before the SP Longstop Date, then the SP Longstop Date shall
be deemed extended until 29 August 2023 and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pay the remaining amount of the Second Payment to BP on
or before 29 August 2023.
For the avoidance
of doubt, if the Purchaser does not make the EUR 5,000,000 on or before the SP Longstop Date, it shall be deemed that it has failed to
make the Second Payment for the purposes of Clause 2.2 above.
The SPA Deed shall
serve as receipt and proof of full payment of the Initial Payment.
Additionally, upon
receipt of the Initial Payment and the Second Payment, BP shall grant to the Seller a pay-off letter in partial satisfaction of the First
Deferred Payment, which will be deemed to have been partially paid to BP for an amount equal to the Purchase Price, and the latter will
partly release and discharge, from any and all actions whatsoever which BP had, has or could have against the Seller in connection with
the relevant share of the First Deferred Payment.
| 3.3. | The payment of the Purchase Price shall be executed by the Purchaser
free from any deduction or withholding, whether on account of any wire transfer commissions, costs, charges, Taxes, withholding Taxes,
or any other concept whatsoever. |
| 4. | Shareholders’

| 4.1. | Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement: |
| (i) | The Seller, the Purchaser, Orpheus, BP and [redacted] shall enter into a binding amendment
to the SHA; and |
| (ii) | FCB, BP and Mountain shall enter into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination
Agreement”), which closing shall be subject to certain conditions. |
| 5. | Success Fee & Other Compensation |
Purchaser
shall be entitled to receive a success fee (if any) payable in cash equal to the product of the fixed percentage rate of 2.50%
(i.e. a 5.00% jointly percentage rate under the two sale and purchase agreements executed on the date hereof by the Purchaser) multiplied
by the amount of the cash proceeds actually paid in respect of an investment into the Company by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement
(such fee, the “Success Fee”).
| 5.2. | Payment of the Success Fee |
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, payment of the Success Fee shall be conditional upon the closing of the transactions contemplated
by the Business Combination Agreement to be concluded by and among the SPAC, FCB, BP, as defined by such Business Combination Agreement
(the “Closing”). Payment of the Success Fee shall be made by the SPAC or the parent company of which any shareholders
of the SPAC or BP will be shareholders as of the Closing (the “Combined Entity”) to Purchaser within ten (10) Business
Days following the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account to be designated by Purchaser.
At the Closing, each of the Parties
agree to contribute all of their shares in the Company owned by it in exchange for TopCo Ordinary Shares (as defined in the BCA) in accordance
with the BCA, including, but not limited to, Sections 2.1 and 6.27 of the BCA. In furtherance, but not in limitation of the foregoing,
each of the Parties shall contribute each Share owned by it to TopCo at the Closing in exchange for the corresponding TopCo Ordinary Shares
pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.1 of the BCA and such TopCo Ordinary Shares shall be subject to 180 day lock-up following
the Closing on terms to be mutually agreed by the parties hereto prior to the Closing. Except as expressly contemplated by the BCA or
this Agreement, none of the Parties shall transfer, assign, sell or Encumber any of their shares in the Company other than to wholly-owned
Affiliates that agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
The Parties agree that the exchange
of shares in the Company for TopCo Ordinary Shares shall be carried out in the terms set out in Clause 2.1.(c) of the Business Combination
Agreement.
The
parties hereto agree that Purchaser has the right to designate one (1) to-be-identified director to the TopCo Board of Directors at (and
conditional upon) the Closing, subject to the Purchaser paying the Purchase Price in full pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
| 6. | Sale and Purchase Deed / Completion |
| 6.1. | Within a maximum term of 10 Business Days as of this date, this Agreement shall be notarised (Elevado
a público) before a Notary Public of Barcelona by means of a public deed (escritura pública) of sale and purchase
of the Shares (the “SPA Deed”) and, consequently, the Seller will transfer to the Purchaser its title over the Shares. |
| 6.2. | Simultaneously with the execution of the SPA Deed, the Parties
shall also perform the following closing actions as part of a single transaction: |
| (i) | Legal capacity: The Parties shall exhibit to the Notary
(as defined below) powers of attorney or the relevant documentation evidencing the legal capacity of their respective representatives
for the execution of the SPA Deed and to perform any other Closing Actions contemplated in this Agreement. |
| (ii) | Waiver of pre-emption rights: The Seller undertakes to
execute, jointly with BP and Orpheus, the relevant minutes of the shareholders’ meeting of the Company waiving its pre-emption
rights and authorizing the transfer of the Shares and the execution of this Agreement. |
| (i) | Ownership of the Shares: The secretary to the board of directors of the Company shall issue a certificate
representing the share capital distribution of the Company and the Seller’s ownership over the Shares upon execution of the SPA
Deed (“SPA Closing”). |
| (iii) | Delivery of the Shares’ title deed: The Seller
shall deliver to the Purchaser the title deed proving the ownership of the Shares. |
| (iv) | Updating the Shares’ Registry Book: The secretary
of the Company shall record in the Shares’ Registry Book (Libro Registro de Socios) the transfer of the Shares in favour
of the Purchaser. |
| (v) | Corporate resolutions: The Seller undertakes to execute,
jointly with BP, Orpheus and the Purchaser, the relevant minutes of the general shareholders’ meeting of the Company voting in
favour of any corporate resolutions which shall be adopted as a result of the execution of this Agreement (including, but not limited
to the amendment of the Company’s by-laws, the resignation and appointment of members of the Board of Directors, etc.). |
For the sake of clarity, the abovementioned
actions shall be undertaken simultaneously on the SPA Closing, as part of a single transaction (unidad de acto). Consequently,
none of the foregoing actions shall be held to have been completed until such time as each and every one of the other actions is completed.
| 7. | Sellers’ liability regime |
| 7.1. | Seller’s Representations and WarrantiesThe Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser
that every statement set forth in Schedule 7.1 (the “Seller’s Representations and Warranties”)
is correct, accurate and complete in all material respects on the date hereof. |
| 7.2. | Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Purchaser |
| 7.2.1. | Subject to the limitations set forth in this Clause, the Seller hereby agrees that, from and after the
date hereof, it shall fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser from, against and in respect of any Damages (as such term
is defined below) imposed on or suffered by the Purchaser relating to or arising out of: |
| (i) | the breach, untruthfulness or error of any of the Seller’s
Representations and Warranties made by the Seller in connection with this Agreement (the “Inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations
and Warranties”); |
| (ii) | the breach of any covenant or obligation of the Seller pursuant
to (a) this Agreement, other than an Inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties (“Seller’s Breach”). |
| 7.2.2. | For purposes of this Agreement, “Damages” shall mean any direct and effective damages
(daños directos y efectivos), subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth in the paragraph below, which shall include
any reasonable and ordinary legal fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser as a consequence of the Seller’s breaches as contemplated
in this Clause 7. |
| 7.2.3. | By way of illustration, and without limitation, the following concepts are excluded from the definition
of Damages and the Seller shall therefore not be subject to liability in respect thereof: |
| (i) | any indirect damages (daños indirectos), any loss of profits or revenues (lucro cesante),
moral or reputational damages (daños morales o de imagen); |
| (ii) | damages suffered by the Purchaser or any third party due to an alleged frustration of expectations or
an alleged overpayment for the Shares; and |
| (iii) | damages which are contingent only or otherwise not capable of being quantified, unless and until such
damages give rise to an actual and necessary cash out of the Purchaser before the expiration of the time limits set forth in Clause 7.5. |
| 7.2.4. | The Seller shall not be subject to liability for any damages which are not expressly included in the foregoing
definition of Damages. |
| 7.2.5. | Any Damages paid by the Seller under this Clause shall always be considered as an adjustment to the Purchase
Price to the extent permitted by Law. |
| 7.3. | Procedural observance limit |
The indemnification obligation by
the Seller is subject to the Purchaser having timely made the Claim Notice or the Claim Notice of Third-Party Claim, and in due form,
and, generally, having complied with the terms set out in Clauses 8.5 and 8.6 below.
The indemnification obligation of
the Seller, as set out in this Clause, shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equivalent to 100% of the Purchase Price, provided
that in no event the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser above the amount of the Purchase Price paid up by the Purchaser pursuant to
Clause 3, unless fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct applies.
The right to obtain an indemnification
for any Damages from the Seller shall only arise if the Purchaser has served to the Seller a Claim Notice or a Notice of Third-Party Claim
no later than one (1) month from the end of the statutory limitation with regards to any Inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations
and Warranties set forth in Schedule 7.1 or to any Seller’s Breach.
| (i) | Mitigation obligations: The Purchaser shall use
its reasonable efforts to carry out and shall assist the Seller in carrying out all reasonable actions that may be required in order
to mitigate the amount of Damages to be compensated by the Seller. |
| (ii) | Third-party compensation: In the event that the Seller
has paid to the Purchaser a sum as a result of a Claim and, subsequently, the Purchaser obtains at any time payment from any third party
(including but not limited to Social Security or any other administrative authority) in relation to such Claim, the Purchaser must reimburse
to the Seller the amount previously paid to the Purchaser within the following ten (10) Business Days, up to the amount paid by such
third party, excluding any Damages incurred by the Purchaser in recovering such amount from the third party. |
| (iii) | Compliance with Third-Party Claim contractual requirements:
The Seller shall not be liable for any Damages attributable to any Third-Party Claim in respect of which the Purchaser has not complied
with its obligations under Clause 8.5, including any admission of liability made after the SPA Closing by the Purchaser or its respective
agents or representatives. |
| (iv) | Definitive determination of Damages: The Seller shall
not be liable for any Damages that (i) have been resolved in writing between the Seller and the Purchaser; or (ii) have not been resolved
by a first instance court resolution which declares the Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Purchaser under this Agreement. |
| (v) | Insurance: The Seller shall not be liable for any Damages
that have been effectively recovered by the Purchaser under applicable insurance policies which the Purchaser has in place or from any
other third party with indemnification obligations or from any other Person subject to liability in respect thereof. |
| (vi) | Changes in Laws: The Seller shall not be liable for the
Damages arising from any regulations or legal provisions not in force on the SPA Closing, as well as any other variation or modification
of any regulations or legal provisions, or any change in the current practice of any Tax, Social Security or administrative authority
made or entered into effect after the SPA Closing. |
| (vii) | The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller does not
give or make any warranty, undertaking, representation, promise or other statement as to the accuracy of the forecasts, estimates, projections,
statements of intent or statements of honestly expressed opinion provided to the Purchaser (however so provided) on or prior to the date
of this Agreement, assuming that such information was not provided under fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct. |
| (viii) | The liability regime assumed by the Seller under this Agreement
is intuitu personae to the benefit only of the Purchaser. |
| (ix) | In the event that the Seller, at any time after the date hereof,
wishes to take out insurance against any liability which may arise under the Seller’s Representations and Warranties or this Agreement
the Purchaser agrees, subject to receipt of appropriate undertakings as to confidentiality and to such provision not being disruptive
to the business of the Purchaser’s Group, to provide, at the Seller’s expense, such information as any prospective insurer
or insurance broker may reasonably require for the purposes of effecting such insurance and to do or procure the doing of all acts and
to execute or procure the execution of all documents necessary to effect such insurance. |
| (x) | The Purchase Price and the other terms and conditions of this
Agreement have been agreed on the basis that, other than the Seller’s Representations and Warranties, the Seller makes no other
representations and warranties, express or implied, to the Purchaser with respect to the Company. |
Furthermore, in view of the fact that
the Seller has not been involved in the day-to-day management of the Company, the Seller shall assume no responsibility for any contingencies,
hidden liabilities or damages of any kind that may affect the Company as a result of past or future events, and the Purchaser assumes
all the benefits, losses and risks of the Company in relation to the Shares transferred.
| 7.7. | Indemnification as sole remedy |
| 7.7.1. | The Parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement on the basis that the sole and exclusive remedy of
the Purchaser hereunder in respect of Inaccuracy of Seller’s Representations and Warranties shall be the right to be indemnified
by the Seller pursuant to the definition of Damages and to the other terms, conditions, limitations and qualifications set forth in this
Clause. |
| 7.7.2. | The Parties acknowledge and agree that the rights and remedies contemplated in this Agreement shall replace
in their entirety the provisions addressing liability of a seller with respect to obligations under purchase and sale or other agreements
set forth in the Spanish Civil Code, the Commercial Code, and otherwise under the Laws of Spain. Therefore, the Purchaser expressly waives,
in the broadest terms admissible by law, to (i) any claim against the Seller for any error, hidden defects (vicios ocultos) under the
Spanish Civil Code, non-compliance or invalid consent (vicio del consentimiento) or (ii) to terminate, resolve (under article 1,124 if
the Spanish Civil Code or any other) or rescind the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be applicable in any
case in the event of eviction (evicción), fraud or willful misconduct (dolo), in which case the Purchaser reserves its right to
the remedies available to it under Spanish Law. |
| 7.7.3. | The Purchaser waives (i) any rights to terminate the Agreement due to an Inaccuracy of the Seller’s
Representations and Warranties, an aliud pro alio, or invalid consent (vicio del consentimiento) , (ii) any non-contractual liability
(responsabilidad extracontractual) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including in respect of any non-contractual obligations
arising out of the negotiation of this Agreement), and (iii) any rights to make any claim in connection with this Agreement against (a)
any Affiliate of the Seller, (b) the current or former directors, representatives, employees, or advisors of the Seller or any Affiliate
of the Seller, or (c) any other person other than the Seller. |
| 8.1. | In the event of any claim for Damages arising from an Inaccuracy
of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties (each of them, individually, a “Claim”), the following provisions,
subject to the liability limitations detailed in Clause 7.4 shall apply. |
| 8.2. | In the event that the Purchaser does not comply with the timeframes
and/or requirements set forth under this Agreement, the Seller shall not be held liable nor responsible for any Claim. |
| 8.3. | The Purchaser shall give notice to the Seller in writing of
any Claim (a “Claim Notice”) within forty-five (45) Business Days from effectively acknowledging the existence of
the facts giving rise to the Claim. The Purchaser shall not be entitled to deliver a Claim Notice once the foregoing timeframe has elapsed. |
| 8.4. | If the relevant Claim is not a Third-Party Claim (as defined
in Clause 8.5 below): |
| (i) | Each Claim Notice shall state, with respect to any particular
Claim: (a) the obligations established in this Agreement which have been breached (with reference to the relevant Clauses), (b) a description
of the Claim, (c) if possible at such stage, the nature and amount of the Damages duly justified, and (d) copies of any supporting documentation
considered reasonable and pertinent by the Purchaser. |
| (ii) | The Seller has a time limit of twenty (20) Business Days from
receipt of the Claim Notice to respond to the Purchaser, indicating whether it accepts or rejects, totally or partially, the Claim. During
this term, the Purchaser shall grant the Seller and its advisors reasonable access to that information which may be deemed necessary
to take a decision about the Claim. |
| (iii) | If the limitations set forth by the Seller’s liability
regime do not apply, and if the Seller accepts the Claim, it shall become final and binding, and the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser
the amount of the Damages determined in the Claim Notice, within ten (10) Business Days from the date of the Seller’s response. |
| (iv) | If the Seller rejects the Claim or does not provide a response
in due time, the Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith during ten (10) Business Days in order to reach an agreement
regarding (a) whether or not the Claim is justified and appropriate, and (b) if applicable, the amount of the Damages. |
| (v) | If the Seller and the Purchaser do not reach an agreement within
the specified ten (10) Business Days, either Party shall have the right to submit their dispute to the courts according to Clause 20
below. |
| 8.5. | If the Claim is based on Damages that may arise from a claim
made against the Purchaser by a third-party (a “Third-Party Claim”): |
| (i) | The Claim Notice must be submitted within thirty (30) Business
Days from receiving the Third-Party Claim (and in any event, before the expiration of the first half (1/2) of the term specified in the
Third-Party Claim, or resulting from applicable Laws and regulations, to respond, appeal or oppose such claim). The Claim Notice shall
include a copy of the Third-Party Claim and any other documentation which may be deemed necessary in order to enable the Seller’s
defense against such Third-Party Claim. |
| (ii) | The Seller shall inform the Purchaser whether the Seller accepts
or reject the Third-Party Claim within twenty (20) Business Days as from receipt of the Claim Notice, or, if the Third-Party Claim is
subject to a time limit to appeal or oppose such claim, prior to the expiration of half (1/2) of the term available to reply to or answer
the Third-Party Claim. |
| (iii) | If the limitations set forth by the Seller’s liability
regime do not apply, and if the Seller agrees with the Third-Party Claim, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of the Third-Party
Claim within ten (10) Business Days from the Seller’s response. |
| (iv) | In the event that the Seller opposes the Third-Party Claim,
it shall have the right (but not the obligation) to defend such Third-Party Claim. If the Seller so elects, the Seller shall have the
exclusive right and control over such defense (including the exclusive right to compromise or settle the Third-Party Claim), and the
Purchaser shall carry out whatever actions may be deemed necessary in order to enable the Seller to oppose such Third-Party Claim (including,
in particular, but not limited to, the granting of powers of attorney in favor of the attorneys and court agents appointed by the Seller).
If Seller decides to take control over the defense, the defense legal fees, costs and expenses, including those related to guarantees,
deposits, bonds, bank endorsements, and advance payments, shall be borne exclusively by the Seller. If Seller decides not to defend such
Third-Party Claim, then the Seller shall carry out whatever actions may be deemed necessary in order to enable the Purchaser to deal
with such Third-Party Claim. |
| (v) | In the event that the Seller opposes to the Third-Party Claim
but does not exercise its right to defend such Third-Party Claim, the Purchaser shall, in good faith, assume such defense. At first instance,
the defense legal fees, costs and expenses, including those related to guarantees, deposits, bonds, bank endorsements, and advance payments,
shall be borne exclusively by the Purchaser. |
If such opposed Third-Party Claim
is resolved by (a) a final and binding judicial ruling or arbitration award in favor of a third-party claimant not subject to appeal,
or (b) a binding settlement transaction (which shall always be subject to the prior consent of the Seller), whereby the Purchaser must
pay a specific amount, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser such amount (including any associated expenses and costs), to the extent
that the limitations set forth by the Seller’s liability regime do not apply (if the Seller has provided its consent, the limitations
shall not be taken into account). This payment shall be made within ten (10) Business Days from the Seller becoming aware of the abovementioned
judicial ruling, arbitration award or settlement transaction.
Furthermore, if the opposed Third-Party
Claim is finally resolved by (a) a final and binding judicial ruling or arbitration award against a third-party claimant not subject to
appeal, or (b) a binding settlement transaction, whereby the Purchaser is released or exempted from any obligation to compensate the third-party
claimant, the Seller shall not be liable for any amount to the Purchaser.
| 8.6. | The Purchaser and the Seller shall keep each other informed,
at all times, of the status of the Third-Party Claims, irrespective of the Party that has assumed the defense. Both Parties agree to
cooperate and provide each other with reasonable assistance that may be required or convenient in connection with the defense of a Third-Party
Claim. |
| 9. | Purchaser’s liability regime |
| 9.1. | The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Seller that
every statement set forth in Schedule 9.1 (the “Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties”) is
correct, accurate and complete in all material respects on the date hereof. |
| 9.2. | Subject to the limitations set forth in this Clause, the Purchaser
hereby agrees that, from and after the date hereof, it shall fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller from, against and in
respect of any Damages (as defined below) imposed on or suffered by the Seller relating to or arising out of: |
| (i) | the breach, untruthfulness or error of any of the Purchaser’s
Representations and Warranties made by the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and any document executed, signed or delivered
to the Seller on the date hereof (the “Inaccuracy of the Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties”); |
| (ii) | the breach of any covenant or obligation of the Purchaser pursuant
to (a) this Agreement, other than an Inaccuracy of the Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties; (both to be jointly referred
to as a “Purchaser’s Breach”). |
| 9.3. | For the purposes of this Clause, “Damages”
shall have the same meaning ascribed to that term under Clause 7.2.2, mutandis mutandis. |
| 9.4. | With respect to any indemnification claim by the Seller under
this Clause, the rules and procedures set out in Clauses 7.3 to 7.7, and (ii) Clause 8 shall apply, where applicable, mutandis mutandis.
In particular, any indemnification paid by the Purchaser under this Clause 9 shall always be considered as an adjustment to the Purchase
Price to the extent permitted by Law. |
| 10. | Payments. Late payments |
| 10.1. | All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made in
full and free from any deduction, withholding or Tax save as may be required by Law, in which event such deduction, withholding or Tax
shall not exceed the minimum amount which it is required by Law to deduct or withhold. |
| 10.2. | If any amount required to be paid under this Agreement is not
paid when it is due, such amount shall bear default interest at the rate of 3-month EURIBOR plus 2.5% per annum, calculated on a daily
basis for the period from the relevant due date for payment up to, and including, the date of actual payment, which interest shall be
compounded monthly, and shall apply in addition to (and not in lieu of) any other interest payable (if any) in accordance with other
provisions of this Agreement. |
| 10.3. | The penalties agreed in this Clause are established as specific
penalty clauses and are cumulative to any other remedies available at Law to the Seller. The Parties agree to exclude the power of Court
moderation regulated in article 1,154 of the Spanish Civil Code. The Parties expressly accept the appropriateness and proportionality
of the agreed penalties and, consequently, expressly and irrevocably waive any right to take any action, judicial or extrajudicial, aimed
at avoiding, excluding or preventing its application, or to request its moderation or reduction. |

contemplated in this Agreement shall be in English and in writing and shall either be delivered by hand (including by courier) or sent

(ii) require that the Purchaser makes the Second Payment, and, in either case, claim the relevant Damages from the Purchaser.
Additionally, if (a) the Purchaser
fails to make the Second Payment, and (b) BP or the Seller elect only to terminate this Agreement in relation to the Second Shares,
then the Purchaser agrees to carry out any actions or execute any documents that may be necessary for the Seller to be able to transfer
such Second Shares to any other entity (including, but not limited to, to execute (a) the corresponding addendum to the SHA, and,
where appropriate, (b) the relevant corporate resolutions in order to waive any preferential acquisition rights they may hold over
such Second Shares).
| 2.3. | The Parties acknowledge that the that in accordance with the deed of release to be granted pursuant to
Clause 6.2 below between BP, Orpheus and the Company, the Pledge over the Orpheus Shares shall be released (a), in relation to the Initial
Shares, upon receipt of the Initial Payment and notarization of the SPA Deed, and (b), in relation to the Second Shares, upon receipt
by BP of the Second Payment in full. |
| 2.4. | The consideration to be paid by the Purchaser for the acquisition of the Shares shall be the Purchase
Price (as defined in Clause 3 below). |
The purchase price to be paid by the
Purchaser for the Shares is EUR 19,954,751.14 (the “Purchase Price”).
For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase
Price includes the price of the Shares along with all economic and political rights attached thereto.
| 3.2. | Payment of the Purchase Price |
The Purchaser will pay the Purchase
Price to BP, on account of the Seller, in order to comply with the Seller’s obligations corresponding to the First Deferred Payment
that should be executed by the Seller under the Orpheus SPA, through irrevocable wire transfers executed on the applicable payment date
to a bank account designated by BP.
The Purchase Price shall be configured
as follows:
| (i) | An initial EUR 10,045,248.87 payment (the “Initial Payment”) shall be executed by Purchaser
to BP on or before 11 August 2023 but not before the execution and public announcement of the Business Combination Agreement to be
concluded by and among the SPAC, FCB, BP; and |
| (ii) | A second EUR 9,909,502.27 payment (the “Second Payment”) shall be executed by Purchaser
to BP on or before 21 August 2023 (the “SP Longstop Date”). |
Notwithstanding the above, in the event
(a) the Purchaser fails to make the Second Payment in full on or before the SP Longstop Date, but (b) partially pays the Second
Payment to BP in an amount of at least EUR 5,000,000 on or before the SP Longstop Date, then the SP Longstop Date shall be deemed extended
until 29 August 2023 and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pay the remaining amount of the Second Payment to BP on or before 29
August 2023.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Purchaser
does not make the EUR 5,000,000 on or before the SP Longstop Date, it shall be deemed that it has failed to make the Second Payment for
the purposes of Clause 2.2 above.
The SPA Deed shall serve as receipt
and proof of full payment of the Initial Payment.
Additionally, upon receipt of the Initial
Payment and the Second Payment, BP shall grant to the Seller a pay-off letter in partial satisfaction of the First Deferred Payment, which
will be deemed to have been partially paid to BP for an amount equal to the Purchase Price, and the latter will partly release and discharge,
from any and all actions whatsoever which BP had, has or could have against the Seller in connection with the relevant share of the First
Deferred Payment.
| 3.3. | The payment of the Purchase Price shall be executed by the Purchaser free from any deduction or withholding,
whether on account of any wire transfer commissions, costs, charges, Taxes, withholding Taxes, or any other concept whatsoever. |
| 4. | Shareholders’ Agreement and BCA |
Simultaneously with the execution of
this Agreement:
| (i) | The Seller, the Purchaser, Blaugrana Invest, BP and [redacted] shall enter into a binding amendment
to the SHA; and |
| (ii) | FCB, BP and Mountain shall enter into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination
Agreement”), which closing shall be subject to certain conditions. |
| 5. | Success Fee & Other Compensation |
Purchaser shall be entitled to receive
a success fee (if any) payable in cash equal to the product of the fixed percentage rate of 2.50% (i.e. a 5.00% jointly percentage rate
under the two sale and purchase agreements executed on the date hereof by the Purchaser) multiplied by the amount of the cash proceeds
actually paid in respect of an investment into the Company by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (such fee, the “Success Fee”).
| 5.2. | Payment of the Success Fee |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, payment of the Success Fee shall be conditional upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination
Agreement to be concluded by and among the SPAC, FCB, BP, as defined by such Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”).
Payment of the Success Fee shall be made by the SPAC or the parent company of which any shareholders of the SPAC or BP will be shareholders
as of the Closing (the “Combined Entity”) to Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account to be designated by Purchaser.
At the Closing, each of the Parties
agree to contribute all of their shares in the Company owned by it in exchange for TopCo Ordinary Shares (as defined in the BCA) in accordance
with the BCA, including, but not limited to, Sections 2.1 and 6.27 of the BCA. In furtherance, but not in limitation of the foregoing,
each of the Parties shall contribute each Share owned by it to TopCo at the Closing in exchange for the corresponding TopCo Ordinary Shares
pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.1 of the BCA and such TopCo Ordinary Shares shall be subject to 180 day lock-up following
the Closing on terms to be mutually agreed by the parties hereto prior to the Closing. Except as expressly contemplated by the BCA or
this Agreement, none of the Parties shall transfer, assign, sell or Encumber any of their shares in the Company other than to wholly-owned
Affiliates that agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
The Parties agree that the exchange
of shares in the Company for TopCo Ordinary Shares shall be carried out in the terms set out in Clause 2.1.(c) of the Business Combination
Agreement.
The parties hereto agree that Purchaser
has the right to designate one (1) to-be-identified director to the TopCo Board of Directors at (and conditional upon) the Closing,
subject to the Purchaser paying the Purchase Price in full pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
| 6. | Sale and Purchase Deed / Completion |
| 6.1. | Within a maximum term of 10 Business Days as of this date, this Agreement shall be notarised (Elevado
a público) before a Notary Public of Barcelona by means of a public deed (escritura pública) of sale and purchase
of the Shares (the “SPA Deed”) and, consequently, the Seller will transfer to the Purchaser its title over the Shares. |
| 6.2. | Simultaneously with the execution of the SPA Deed, the Parties shall also perform the following closing
actions as part of a single transaction: |
| (i) | Legal capacity: The Parties shall exhibit to the Notary (as defined below) powers of attorney or
the relevant documentation evidencing the legal capacity of their respective representatives for the execution of the SPA Deed and to
perform any other Closing Actions contemplated in this Agreement. |
| (ii) | Waiver of pre-emption rights: The Seller undertakes to execute, jointly with BP and Blaugrana Invest,
the relevant minutes of the shareholders’ meeting of the Company waiving its pre-emption rights and authorizing the transfer of
the Shares and the execution of this Agreement. |
| (iii) | Ownership of the Shares: The secretary to the board of directors of the Company shall issue a certificate
representing the share capital distribution of the Company and the Seller’s ownership over the Shares upon execution of the SPA
Deed (“SPA Closing”). |

proving the ownership of the Shares. |
| (v) | Updating the Shares’ Registry Book: The secretary of the Company shall record in the Shares’
Registry Book (Libro Registro de Socios) the transfer of the Shares in favour of the Purchaser. |
| (vi) | Corporate resolutions: The Seller undertakes to execute, jointly with BP, Blaugrana Invest and
the Purchaser, the relevant minutes of the general shareholders’ meeting of the Company voting in favour of any corporate resolutions
which shall be adopted as a result of the execution of this Agreement (including, but not limited to the amendment of the Company’s
by-laws, the resignation and appointment of members of the Board of Directors, etc.). |
| (vii) | Deed of release of the Pledge over Orpheus Shares: BP, the Company and Orpheus shall grant a deed
of release in relation to the Pledge over the Orpheus Shares in relation to the Shares. |
Notwithstanding the above, if granting
of the SPA Deed takes place before the payment of the Second Payment, the release of the Pledge over the Orpheus Shares regarding the
Second Shares shall be conditional upon receipt of the Second Payment.
For the sake of clarity, the abovementioned
actions shall be undertaken simultaneously on the SPA Closing, as part of a single transaction (unidad de acto). Consequently,
none of the foregoing actions shall be held to have been completed until such time as each and every one of the other actions is completed.
| 7. | Sellers’ liability regime |
| 7.1. | Seller’s Representations and Warranties |
The Seller hereby represents and warrants
to the Purchaser that every statement set forth in Schedule 7.1 (the “Seller’s Representations and Warranties”)
is correct, accurate and complete in all material respects on the date hereof.
| 7.2. | Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Purchaser |
| 7.2.1. | Subject to the limitations set forth in this Clause, the Seller hereby agrees that, from and after the
date hereof, it shall fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser from, against and in respect of any Damages (as such term
is defined below) imposed on or suffered by the Purchaser relating to or arising out of: |
| (i) | the breach, untruthfulness or error of any of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties made by
the Seller in connection with this Agreement (the “Inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties”); |
| (ii) | the breach of any covenant or obligation of the Seller pursuant to (a) this Agreement, other than
an Inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties (“Seller’s Breach”). |
| 7.2.2. | For purposes of this Agreement, “Damages” shall mean any direct and effective damages
(daños directos y efectivos), subject to the exclusions and limitations set forth in the paragraph below, which shall include
any reasonable and ordinary legal fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser as a consequence of the Seller’s breaches as contemplated
in this Clause 7. |
| 7.2.3. | By way of illustration, and without limitation, the following concepts are excluded from the definition
of Damages and the Seller shall therefore not be subject to liability in respect thereof: |
| (i) | any indirect damages (daños indirectos), any loss of profits or revenues (lucro cesante),
moral or reputational damages (daños morales o de imagen); |
| (ii) | damages suffered by the Purchaser or any third party due to an alleged frustration of expectations or
an alleged overpayment for the Shares; and |
| (iii) | damages which are contingent only or otherwise not capable of being quantified, unless and until such
damages give rise to an actual and necessary cash out of the Purchaser before the expiration of the time limits set forth in Clause 7.5. |
| 7.2.4. | The Seller shall not be subject to liability for any damages which are not expressly included in the foregoing
definition of Damages. |
| 7.2.5. | Any Damages paid by the Seller under this Clause shall always be considered as an adjustment to the Purchase
Price to the extent permitted by Law. |
| 7.3. | Procedural observance limit |
The indemnification obligation by the
Seller is subject to the Purchaser having timely made the Claim Notice or the Claim Notice of Third-Party Claim, and in due form, and,
generally, having complied with the terms set out in Clauses 8.5 and 8.6 below.
The indemnification obligation of the
Seller, as set out in this Clause, shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equivalent to 100% of the Purchase Price, provided that
in no event the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser above the amount of the Purchase Price paid up by the Purchaser pursuant to Clause
3, unless fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct applies.
The right to obtain an indemnification
for any Damages from the Seller shall only arise if the Purchaser has served to the Seller a Claim Notice or a Notice of Third-Party Claim
no later than one (1) month from the end of the statutory limitation with regards to any Inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations
and Warranties set forth in Schedule 7.1 or to any Seller’s Breach.
| (i) | Mitigation obligations: The Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to carry out and
shall assist the Seller in carrying out all reasonable actions that may be required in order to mitigate the amount of Damages to be compensated
by the Seller. |
| (ii) | Third-party compensation: In the event that the Seller has paid to the Purchaser a sum as a result
of a Claim and, subsequently, the Purchaser obtains at any time payment from any third party (including but not limited to Social Security
or any other administrative authority) in relation to such Claim, the Purchaser must reimburse to the Seller the amount previously paid
to the Purchaser within the following ten (10) Business Days, up to the amount paid by such third party, excluding any Damages incurred
by the Purchaser in recovering such amount from the third party. |
| (iii) | Compliance with Third-Party Claim contractual requirements: The Seller shall not be liable for
any Damages attributable to any Third-Party Claim in respect of which the Purchaser has not complied with its obligations under Clause
8.5, including any admission of liability made after the SPA Closing by the Purchaser or its respective agents or representatives. |
| (iv) | Definitive determination of Damages: The Seller shall not be liable for any Damages that (i) have
been resolved in writing between the Seller and the Purchaser; or (ii) have not been resolved by a first instance court resolution
which declares the Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Purchaser under this Agreement. |
| (v) | Insurance: The Seller shall not be liable for any Damages that have been effectively recovered
by the Purchaser under applicable insurance policies which the Purchaser has in place or from any other third party with indemnification
obligations or from any other Person subject to liability in respect thereof. |
| (vi) | Changes in Laws: The Seller shall not be liable for the Damages arising from any regulations or
legal provisions not in force on the SPA Closing, as well as any other variation or modification of any regulations or legal provisions,
or any change in the current practice of any Tax, Social Security or administrative authority made or entered into effect after the SPA
Closing. |
| (vii) | The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller does not give or make any warranty, undertaking,
representation, promise or other statement as to the accuracy of the forecasts, estimates, projections, statements of intent or statements
of honestly expressed opinion provided to the Purchaser (however so provided) on or prior to the date of this Agreement, assuming that
such information was not provided under fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct. |
| (viii) | The liability regime assumed by the Seller under this Agreement is intuitu personae to the benefit
only of the Purchaser. |
| (ix) | In the event that the Seller, at any time after the date hereof, wishes to take out insurance against
any liability which may arise under the Seller’s Representations and Warranties or this Agreement the Purchaser agrees, subject
to receipt of appropriate undertakings as to confidentiality and to such provision not being disruptive to the business of the Purchaser’s
Group, to provide, at the Seller’s expense, such information as any prospective insurer or insurance broker may reasonably require
for the purposes of effecting such insurance and to do or procure the doing of all acts and to execute or procure the execution of all
documents necessary to effect such insurance. |
| (x) | The Purchase Price and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement have been agreed on the basis
that, other than the Seller’s Representations and Warranties, the Seller makes no other representations and warranties, express
or implied, to the Purchaser with respect to the Company. |
Furthermore, in view of the fact that
the Seller has not been involved in the day-to-day management of the Company, the Seller shall assume no responsibility for any contingencies,
hidden liabilities or damages of any kind that may affect the Company as a result of past or future events, and the Purchaser assumes
all the benefits, losses and risks of the Company in relation to the Shares transferred.
| 7.7. | Indemnification as sole remedy |
| 7.7.1. | The Parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement on the basis that the sole and exclusive remedy of
the Purchaser hereunder in respect of Inaccuracy of Seller’s Representations and Warranties shall be the right to be indemnified
by the Seller pursuant to the definition of Damages and to the other terms, conditions, limitations and qualifications set forth in this
Clause. |
| 7.7.2. | The Parties acknowledge and agree that the rights and remedies contemplated in this Agreement shall replace
in their entirety the provisions addressing liability of a seller with respect to obligations under purchase and sale or other agreements
set forth in the Spanish Civil Code, the Commercial Code, and otherwise under the Laws of Spain. Therefore, the Purchaser expressly waives,
in the broadest terms admissible by law, to (i) any claim against the Seller for any error, hidden defects (vicios ocultos) under
the Spanish Civil Code, non-compliance or invalid consent (vicio del consentimiento) or (ii) to terminate, resolve (under article
1,124 if the Spanish Civil Code or any other) or rescind the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be applicable
in any case in the event of eviction (evicción), fraud or willful misconduct (dolo), in which case the Purchaser reserves its right
to the remedies available to it under Spanish Law. |
| 7.7.3. | The Purchaser waives (i) any rights to terminate the Agreement due to an Inaccuracy of the Seller’s
Representations and Warranties, an aliud pro alio, or invalid consent (vicio del consentimiento) , (ii) any non-contractual liability
(responsabilidad extracontractual) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including in respect of any non-contractual obligations
arising out of the negotiation of this Agreement), and (iii) any rights to make any claim in connection with this Agreement against
(a) any Affiliate of the Seller, (b) the current or former directors, representatives, employees, or advisors of the Seller
or any Affiliate of the Seller, or (c) any other person other than the Seller. |
| 8.1. | In the event of any claim for Damages arising from an Inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations
and Warranties (each of them, individually, a “Claim”), the following provisions, subject to the liability limitations
detailed in Clause 7.4 shall apply. |
| 8.2. | In the event that the Purchaser does not comply with the timeframes and/or requirements set forth under
this Agreement, the Seller shall not be held liable nor responsible for any Claim. |
| 8.3. | The Purchaser shall give notice to the Seller in writing of any Claim (a “Claim Notice”)
within forty-five (45) Business Days from effectively acknowledging the existence of the facts giving rise to the Claim. The Purchaser
shall not be entitled to deliver a Claim Notice once the foregoing timeframe has elapsed. |
| 8.4. | If the relevant Claim is not a Third-Party Claim (as defined in Clause 8.5 below): |
| (i) | Each Claim Notice shall state, with respect to any particular Claim: (a) the obligations established
in this Agreement which have been breached (with reference to the relevant Clauses), (b) a description of the Claim, (c) if
possible at such stage, the nature and amount of the Damages duly justified, and (d) copies of any supporting documentation considered
reasonable and pertinent by the Purchaser. |
| (ii) | The Seller has a time limit of twenty (20) Business Days from receipt of the Claim Notice to respond to
the Purchaser, indicating whether it accepts or rejects, totally or partially, the Claim. During this term, the Purchaser shall grant
the Seller and its advisors reasonable access to that information which may be deemed necessary to take a decision about the Claim. |
| (iii) | If the limitations set forth by the Seller’s liability regime do not apply, and if the Seller accepts
the Claim, it shall become final and binding, and the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of the Damages determined in the Claim
Notice, within ten (10) Business Days from the date of the Seller’s response. |
| (iv) | If the Seller rejects the Claim or does not provide a response in due time, the Seller and the Purchaser
shall negotiate in good faith during ten (10) Business Days in order to reach an agreement regarding (a) whether or not the
Claim is justified and appropriate, and (b) if applicable, the amount of the Damages. |
| (v) | If the Seller and the Purchaser do not reach an agreement within the specified ten (10) Business
Days, either Party shall have the right to submit their dispute to the courts according to Clause 20 below. |
| 8.5. | If the Claim is based on Damages that may arise from a claim made against the Purchaser by a third-party
(a “Third-Party Claim”): |
| (i) | The Claim Notice must be submitted within thirty (30) Business Days from receiving the Third-Party Claim
(and in any event, before the expiration of the first half (1/2) of the term specified in the Third-Party Claim, or resulting from applicable
Laws and regulations, to respond, appeal or oppose such claim). The Claim Notice shall include a copy of the Third-Party Claim and any
other documentation which may be deemed necessary in order to enable the Seller’s defense against such Third-Party Claim. |
| (ii) | The Seller shall inform the Purchaser whether the Seller accepts or reject the Third-Party Claim within
twenty (20) Business Days as from receipt of the Claim Notice, or, if the Third-Party Claim is subject to a time limit to appeal or oppose
such claim, prior to the expiration of half (1/2) of the term available to reply to or answer the Third-Party Claim. |
| (iii) | If the limitations set forth by the Seller’s liability regime do not apply, and if the Seller agrees
with the Third-Party Claim, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of the Third-Party Claim within ten (10) Business Days
from the Seller’s response. |
| (iv) | In the event that the Seller opposes the Third-Party Claim, it shall have the right (but not the obligation)
to defend such Third-Party Claim. If the Seller so elects, the Seller shall have the exclusive right and control over such defense (including
the exclusive right to compromise or settle the Third-Party Claim), and the Purchaser shall carry out whatever actions may be deemed necessary
in order to enable the Seller to oppose such Third-Party Claim (including, in particular, but not limited to, the granting of powers of
attorney in favor of the attorneys and court agents appointed by the Seller). If Seller decides to take control over the defense, the
defense legal fees, costs and expenses, including those related to guarantees, deposits, bonds, bank endorsements, and advance payments,
shall be borne exclusively by the Seller. If Seller decides not to defend such Third-Party Claim, then the Seller shall carry out whatever
actions may be deemed necessary in order to enable the Purchaser to deal with such Third-Party Claim. |
| (v) | In the event that the Seller opposes to the Third-Party Claim but does not exercise its right to defend
such Third-Party Claim, the Purchaser shall, in good faith, assume such defense. At first instance, the defense legal fees, costs and
expenses, including those related to guarantees, deposits, bonds, bank endorsements, and advance payments, shall be borne exclusively
by the Purchaser. |
If such opposed Third-Party Claim is
resolved by (a) a final and binding judicial ruling or arbitration award in favor of a third-party claimant not subject to appeal,
or (b) a binding settlement transaction (which shall always be subject to the prior consent of the Seller), whereby the Purchaser
must pay a specific amount, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser such amount (including any associated expenses and costs), to the extent
that the limitations set forth by the Seller’s liability regime do not apply (if the Seller has provided its consent, the limitations
shall not be taken into account). This payment shall be made within ten (10) Business Days from the Seller becoming aware of the
abovementioned judicial ruling, arbitration award or settlement transaction.
Furthermore, if the opposed Third-Party
Claim is finally resolved by (a) a final and binding judicial ruling or arbitration award against a third-party claimant not subject
to appeal, or (b) a binding settlement transaction, whereby the Purchaser is released or exempted from any obligation to compensate
the third-party claimant, the Seller shall not be liable for any amount to the Purchaser.
| 8.6. | The Purchaser and the Seller shall keep each other informed, at all times, of the status of the Third-Party
Claims, irrespective of the Party that has assumed the defense. Both Parties agree to cooperate and provide each other with reasonable
assistance that may be required or convenient in connection with the defense of a Third-Party Claim. |
| 9. | Purchaser’s liability regime |
| 9.1. | The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Seller that every statement set forth in Schedule
9.1 (the “Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties”) is correct, accurate and complete in all material
respects on the date hereof. |
| 9.2. | Subject to the limitations set forth in this Clause, the Purchaser hereby agrees that, from and after
the date hereof, it shall fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller from, against and in respect of any Damages (as defined
below) imposed on or suffered by the Seller relating to or arising out of: |
| (i) | the breach, untruthfulness or error of any of the Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties made
by the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and any document executed, signed or delivered to the Seller on the date hereof (the
“Inaccuracy of the Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties”); |
| (ii) | the breach of any covenant or obligation of the Purchaser pursuant to (a) this Agreement, other than
an Inaccuracy of the Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties; (both to be jointly referred to as a “Purchaser’s
Breach”). |
| 9.3. | For the purposes of this Clause, “Damages” shall have the same meaning ascribed to
that term under Clause 7.2.2, mutandis mutandis. |
| 9.4. | With respect to any indemnification claim by the Seller under this Clause, the rules and procedures
set out in Clauses 7.3 to 7.7, and (ii) Clause 8 shall apply, where applicable, mutandis mutandis. In particular, any indemnification
paid by the Purchaser under this Clause 9 shall always be considered as an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by
Law. |
| 10. | Payments. Late payments |
| 10.1. | All payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made in full and free from any deduction, withholding
or Tax save as may be required by Law, in which event such deduction, withholding or Tax shall not exceed the minimum amount which it
is required by Law to deduct or withhold. |
| 10.2. | If any amount required to be paid under this Agreement is not paid when it is due, such amount shall bear
default interest at the rate of 3-month EURIBOR plus 2.5% per annum, calculated on a daily basis for the period from the relevant due
date for payment up to, and including, the date of actual payment, which interest shall be compounded monthly, and shall apply in addition
to (and not in lieu of) any other interest payable (if any) in accordance with other provisions of this Agreement. |
| 10.3. | The penalties agreed in this Clause are established as specific penalty clauses and are cumulative to
any other remedies available at Law to the Seller. The Parties agree to exclude the power of Court moderation regulated in article 1,154
of the Spanish Civil Code. The Parties expressly accept the appropriateness and proportionality of the agreed penalties and, consequently,
expressly and irrevocably waive any right to take any action, judicial or extrajudicial, aimed at avoiding, excluding or preventing its
application, or to request its moderation or reduction. |
| 11.1. | Any communication to be given in connection with the matters contemplated in this Agreement shall be in
English and in writing and shall either be delivered by hand (including by courier) or sent by first class pre-paid post or email . |

Notwithstanding the above, the Parties
acknowledge that the scope of the Business shall be extended pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).
| III. | The
Company’s share capital amounts to EUR 3,000, represented by 3,000 ordinary shares
(participaciones sociales), of EUR 1 of nominal value each, numbered 1 to 3,000. |
| IV. | On
29 July 2022, the company BARÇA PRODUCCIONS, S.L. (“BP”)
and the company SOCIOS DEPORTES SERVICES, S.L. (“SDS”) (having
SDS’ position been assigned to the Seller, as further described in Recital VI below),
executed a sale and purchase agreement through which SDS acquired from BP, 735 Class A
shares of the Company, numbers 1 to 735, both included, equivalent to 24.5% of the Company’s
share capital (the “SDS Shares”), notarized before the Notary Public of
Barcelona Ms. Mariana Querejeta under number 1,640 of her records (the “SDS
SPA”). |
For clarification purposes, an updated
cap table of the Company’s share capital has been included in Recital VIII of this Agreement.
On the same date (i.e., 29 July 2022),
in addition to the SDS SPA, BP, SDS and the Company entered into a shareholders’ agreement for the purposes of regulating their
relationship as shareholders of the Company and between themselves and the Company, which was notarized before the Notary Public of Barcelona
Ms. Mariana Querejeta under number 1,641 of her records which was subsequently amended as a result of the execution of the transaction
described in Recital VII below (the shareholders’ agreement, as amended from time to time, shall hereinafter be jointly referred
to as the “SHA”).
| V. | Under
the SDS SPA, the total purchase price agreed by the parties therein (i.e., SDS, as purchaser,
and BP, as seller) for the SDS Shares was ONE HUNDRED MILLION EURO (EUR 100,000,000) (the
“SDS Shares Purchase Price”). |
The payment of the SDS Shares Purchase
Price was configured by an initial payment of an amount of TEN MILLION EURO (EUR 10,000,000) which was executed by SDS to BP on the date
of execution of the SDS SPA (i.e., 29 July 2022) and three deferred payments (jointly, the “Deferred Payments”)
of an amount of THIRTY MILLION EURO (EUR 30,000,000) each with the first deferred payment being due on 15 June 2023 (the “First
Deferred Payment”), the second deferred payment being due on 15 June 2024 and the third deferred payment being due on

| VII. | On
10 November 2022, SDS transferred in favour of the Seller the SDS Shares and, therefore,
the Seller, as assignee, became holder of the aforementioned shares and all the rights, obligations,
titles and interests of SDS under the SDS SPA. Consequently, the Seller executed a deed of
adherence to the SHA. |
In addition, on the same date, a pledge
under the laws of Luxembourg over 100% of the Seller’s share capital was granted by SDS, as pledgor and sole shareholder of the
Seller, and BP, as creditor (the “Pledge over the Seller’s Shares”).

from 1 to 74 (both inclusive) which represent a stake of, approximately, 2.47% of the Company’s
share capital (the “Shares”) from the Seller, and the Seller has agreed
to sell and transfer full ownership of such Shares to the Purchaser pursuant to the purchase
price, terms and conditions stipulated in this Agreement. |
NOW
THEREFORE, the Parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement in accordance with the following
CLAUSES
| 1. | Definitions and interpretation rules |
| 1.1. | Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this
Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in Schedule 1.1. |
| 1.2. | Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein,
this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the construction rules set forth
in Schedule 1.2. |
| 2. | Sale and purchase of the Shares |
| 2.1. | This Agreement sets out the terms and conditions
through which the Seller agrees to transfer and sell the Shares to the Purchaser, and the
Purchaser agrees to acquire from the Seller the Shares, along with all economic and political
rights attached thereto, free from any Encumbrances except for any rights or obligations
granted in favor of BP or any other parties which are set forth in the SHA, the SDS SPA and/or
in the Company’s by-laws. |
| 2.2. | Transfer
of the Shares shall take place upon receipt of the Purchase Price by BP in accordance
with Clause 3 below. |
| 2.3. | Accordingly, notwithstanding the execution
of this Agreement and the SPA Deed, the Seller shall keep the full title and possession of
the Shares until payment of the Purchase Price by the Purchaser and, if the Purchaser fails
to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Clause 3.2 below the Seller and/or BP shall be entitled
to either (i) require that the Purchaser pays the Purchase Price, or (ii) if the
Seller and BP determine that the Purchaser is unable to pay the Purchase Price, terminate
this transaction in relation to all the Shares (in which case the Purchaser will return the
Shares to the Seller and the Seller will procure that BP will return the Purchase Price effectively
paid to BP on behalf of the Seller), and claim the relevant Damages from the Purchaser.The
consideration to be paid by the Purchaser for the acquisition of the Shares shall be the
Purchase Price (as defined in Clause 3 below). |
The
purchase price to be paid by the Purchaser for the Shares is EUR 10,045,248.87 (the “Purchase Price”).
For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase
Price includes the price of the Shares along with all economic and political rights attached thereto.
| 3.2. | Payment of the Purchase Price |
The
Purchaser will pay the Purchase Price to BP, on account of the Seller, in order to (partly) comply with the Seller’s obligations
corresponding to the First Deferred Payment that should be executed by the Seller under the SDS SPA, through irrevocable wire
transfers executed on the date of this Agreement to a bank account designated by BP.
Upon receipt of the Purchase Price,
BP shall grant to the Seller a pay-off letter for the amount of the Purchase Price in partial satisfaction of the First Deferred Payment,
which will be deemed to have been partially paid to BP for an amount equal to the Purchase Price, and the latter will partly release
and discharge, from any and all actions whatsoever which BP had, has or could have against the Seller in connection with the aforementioned
First Deferred Payment.
| 3.3. | The payment of the Purchase Price shall be
executed by the Purchaser free from any deduction or withholding, whether on account of any
wire transfer commissions, costs, charges, Taxes, withholding Taxes, or any other concept
whatsoever. |
| 4. | Shareholders’ Agreement and
BCA |
| 4.1. | Simultaneously with the execution of this
Agreement: |
| (i) | The
Seller, the Purchaser, Orpheus, LIBERO Football Finance AG, and BP shall enter into
a binding amendment to the SHA; and |
| (ii) | FCB, BP and Mountain shall enter into
a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”),
which closing shall be subject to certain conditions. |
| 5. | Success
Fee & Other Compensation |
Purchaser
shall be entitled to receive a success fee (if any) payable in cash equal to the product of the fixed percentage rate of 2.50%
(i.e. a 5.00% jointly percentage rate under the two sale and purchase agreements executed on the date hereof by the Purchaser)
multiplied by the amount of the cash proceeds actually paid in respect of an investment into the Company by Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement (such fee, the “Success Fee”).
| 5.2. | Payment of the Success Fee |
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, payment of the Success Fee shall be conditional upon the closing of the transactions contemplated
by the Business Combination Agreement to be concluded by and among the SPAC, FCB, BP, as defined by such Business Combination Agreement
(the “Closing”). Payment of the Success Fee shall be made by the SPAC or the parent company of which any shareholders
of the SPAC or BP will be shareholders as of the Closing (the “Combined Entity”) to Purchaser within ten (10) Business
Days following the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account to be designated by Purchaser.
At the Closing, each of the Parties
agree to contribute all of their shares in the Company owned by it in exchange for TopCo Ordinary Shares (as defined in the BCA) in accordance
with the BCA, including, but not limited to, Sections 2.1 and 6.27 of the BCA. In furtherance, but not in limitation of the foregoing,
each of the Parties shall contribute each Share owned by it to TopCo at the Closing in exchange for the corresponding TopCo Ordinary
Shares pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.1 of the BCA and such TopCo Ordinary Shares shall be subject to a 180 day lock-up
following the Closing on terms to be mutually agreed by the parties hereto prior to the Closing. Except as expressly contemplated by
the BCA or this Agreement, none of the Parties shall transfer, assign, sell or Encumber any of their shares in the Company other than
to wholly-owned Affiliates that agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
The Parties agree that the exchange
of shares in the Company for TopCo Ordinary Shares shall be carried out in the terms set out in Clause 2.1.(c) of the Business Combination
Agreement.
The
parties hereto agree that Purchaser has the right to designate one (1) to-be-identified director to the TopCo Board of Directors
at (and conditional upon) the Closing, subject to the Purchaser paying the Purchase Price in full pursuant to, and in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
| 6. | Sale and Purchase Deed / Completion |
| 6.1. | Within
a maximum term of 10 Business Days as of this date, this Agreement shall be notarised (Elevado
a público) before a Notary Public of Barcelona by means of a public deed (escritura
pública) of sale and purchase of the Shares (the “SPA Deed”)
and, consequently, the Seller will transfer to the Purchaser its title over the Shares. |
| 6.2. | Simultaneously with the execution of the
SPA Deed, the Parties shall also perform the following closing actions as part of a single
transaction: |
| (i) | Legal capacity: The Parties shall
exhibit to the Notary (as defined below) powers of attorney or the relevant documentation
evidencing the legal capacity of their respective representatives for the execution of the
SPA Deed and to perform any other Closing Actions contemplated in this Agreement. |
| (ii) | Waiver of pre-emption rights:
The Seller undertakes to execute, jointly with BP and Orpheus, the relevant minutes of the
shareholders’ meeting of the Company waiving its pre-emption rights and authorizing
the transfer of the Shares and the execution of this Agreement. |
| (i) | Ownership
of the Shares: The secretary to the board of directors of the Company shall issue
a certificate representing the share capital distribution of the Company and the Seller’s
ownership over the Shares upon execution of the SPA Deed (“SPA Closing”). |
| (iii) | Delivery of the Shares’ title
deed: The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser the title deed proving the ownership
of the Shares. |
| (iv) | Updating the Shares’ Registry
Book: The secretary of the Company shall record in the Shares’ Registry Book (Libro
Registro de Socios) the transfer of the Shares in favour of the Purchaser. |
| (v) | Corporate resolutions: The Seller
undertakes to execute, jointly with BP, Orpheus and the Purchaser, the relevant minutes of
the general shareholders’ meeting of the Company voting in favour of any corporate
resolutions which shall be adopted as a result of the execution of this Agreement (including,
but not limited to the amendment of the Company’s by-laws, the resignation and appointment
of members of the Board of Directors, etc.). |
For the sake of clarity, the abovementioned
actions shall be undertaken simultaneously on the SPA Closing, as part of a single transaction (unidad de acto). Consequently,
none of the foregoing actions shall be held to have been completed until such time as each and every one of the other actions is completed.
| 7. | Sellers’ liability regime |
| 7.1. | Seller’s Representations and WarrantiesThe
Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that every statement set forth in
Schedule 7.1 (the “Seller’s Representations and Warranties”)
is correct, accurate and complete in all material respects on the date hereof. |
| 7.2. | Seller’s obligation to indemnify
the Purchaser |
| 7.2.1. | Subject to the limitations set forth in
this Clause, the Seller hereby agrees that, from and after the date hereof, it shall fully
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser from, against and in respect of any Damages
(as such term is defined below) imposed on or suffered by the Purchaser relating to or arising
out of: |
| (i) | the breach, untruthfulness or error of
any of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties made by the Seller in connection
with this Agreement (the “Inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties”); |
| (ii) | the breach of any covenant or obligation
of the Seller pursuant to (a) this Agreement, other than an Inaccuracy of the Seller’s
Representations and Warranties (“Seller’s Breach”). |
| 7.2.2. | For purposes of this Agreement, “Damages”
shall mean any direct and effective damages (daños directos y efectivos), subject
to the exclusions and limitations set forth in the paragraph below, which shall include any
reasonable and ordinary legal fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser as a consequence
of the Seller’s breaches as contemplated in this Clause 7. |
| 7.2.3. | By way of illustration, and without limitation,
the following concepts are excluded from the definition of Damages and the Seller shall therefore
not be subject to liability in respect thereof: |
| (i) | any indirect damages (daños
indirectos), any loss of profits or revenues (lucro cesante), moral or reputational
damages (daños morales o de imagen); |
| (ii) | damages suffered by the Purchaser or
any third party due to an alleged frustration of expectations or an alleged overpayment for
the Shares; and |
| (iii) | damages which are contingent only or
otherwise not capable of being quantified, unless and until such damages give rise to an
actual and necessary cash out of the Purchaser before the expiration of the time limits set
forth in Clause 7.5. |
| 7.2.4. | The Seller shall not be subject to liability
for any damages which are not expressly included in the foregoing definition of Damages. |
| 7.2.5. | Any
Damages paid by the Seller under this Clause shall always be considered as an adjustment
to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by Law. |
| 7.3. | Procedural observance limit |
The indemnification obligation by the
Seller is subject to the Purchaser having timely made the Claim Notice or the Claim Notice of Third-Party Claim, and in due form, and,
generally, having complied with the terms set out in Clauses 8.5 and 8.6 below.
The indemnification obligation of the
Seller, as set out in this Clause, shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equivalent to 100% of the Purchase Price, provided
that in no event the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser above the amount of the Purchase Price paid up by the Purchaser pursuant to
Clause 3, unless fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct applies.
The right to obtain an indemnification
for any Damages from the Seller shall only arise if the Purchaser has served to the Seller a Claim Notice or a Notice of Third-Party
Claim no later than one (1) month from the end of the statutory limitation with regards to any Inaccuracy of the Seller’s
Representations and Warranties set forth in Schedule 7.1 or to any Seller’s Breach.
| (i) | Mitigation obligations:
The Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to carry out and shall assist the Seller in
carrying out all reasonable actions that may be required in order to mitigate the amount
of Damages to be compensated by the Seller. |
| (ii) | Third-party compensation: In the
event that the Seller has paid to the Purchaser a sum as a result of a Claim and, subsequently,
the Purchaser obtains at any time payment from any third party (including but not limited
to Social Security or any other administrative authority) in relation to such Claim, the
Purchaser must reimburse to the Seller the amount previously paid to the Purchaser within
the following ten (10) Business Days, up to the amount paid by such third party, excluding
any Damages incurred by the Purchaser in recovering such amount from the third party. |
| (iii) | Compliance with Third-Party Claim
contractual requirements: The Seller shall not be liable for any Damages attributable
to any Third-Party Claim in respect of which the Purchaser has not complied with its obligations
under Clause 8.5, including any admission of liability made after the SPA Closing by the
Purchaser or its respective agents or representatives. |
| (iv) | Definitive determination of Damages:
The Seller shall not be liable for any Damages that (i) have been resolved in writing
between the Seller and the Purchaser; or (ii) have not been resolved by a first instance
court resolution which declares the Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Purchaser
under this Agreement. |
| (v) | Insurance: The Seller shall not
be liable for any Damages that have been effectively recovered by the Purchaser under applicable
insurance policies which the Purchaser has in place or from any other third party with indemnification
obligations or from any other Person subject to liability in respect thereof. |
| (vi) | Changes in Laws: The Seller shall
not be liable for the Damages arising from any regulations or legal provisions not in force
on the SPA Closing, as well as any other variation or modification of any regulations or
legal provisions, or any change in the current practice of any Tax, Social Security or administrative
authority made or entered into effect after the SPA Closing. |
| (vii) | The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees
that the Seller does not give or make any warranty, undertaking, representation, promise
or other statement as to the accuracy of the forecasts, estimates, projections, statements
of intent or statements of honestly expressed opinion provided to the Purchaser (however
so provided) on or prior to the date of this Agreement, assuming that such information was
not provided under fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct. |
| (viii) | The liability regime assumed by the
Seller under this Agreement is intuitu personae to the benefit only of the Purchaser. |
| (ix) | In the event that the Seller, at any
time after the date hereof, wishes to take out insurance against any liability which may
arise under the Seller’s Representations and Warranties or this Agreement the Purchaser
agrees, subject to receipt of appropriate undertakings as to confidentiality and to such
provision not being disruptive to the business of the Purchaser’s Group, to provide,
at the Seller’s expense, such information as any prospective insurer or insurance broker
may reasonably require for the purposes of effecting such insurance and to do or procure
the doing of all acts and to execute or procure the execution of all documents necessary
to effect such insurance. |
| (x) | The
Purchase Price and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement have been agreed on the
basis that, other than the Seller’s Representations and Warranties, the Seller makes
no other representations and warranties, express or implied, to the Purchaser with respect
to the Company. |
Furthermore, in view of the fact that
the Seller has not been involved in the day-to-day management of the Company, the Seller shall assume no responsibility for any contingencies,
hidden liabilities or damages of any kind that may affect the Company as a result of past or future events, and the Purchaser assumes
all the benefits, losses and risks of the Company in relation to the Shares transferred.
| 7.7. | Indemnification
as sole remedy |
| 7.7.1. | The Parties have agreed to enter into this
Agreement on the basis that the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser hereunder in respect
of Inaccuracy of Seller’s Representations and Warranties shall be the right to be indemnified
by the Seller pursuant to the definition of Damages and to the other terms, conditions, limitations
and qualifications set forth in this Clause. |
| 7.7.2. | The Parties acknowledge and agree that
the rights and remedies contemplated in this Agreement shall replace in their entirety the
provisions addressing liability of a seller with respect to obligations under purchase and
sale or other agreements set forth in the Spanish Civil Code, the Commercial Code, and otherwise
under the Laws of Spain. Therefore, the Purchaser expressly waives, in the broadest terms
admissible by law, to (i) any claim against the Seller for any error, hidden defects
(vicios ocultos) under the Spanish Civil Code, non-compliance or invalid consent (vicio del
consentimiento) or (ii) to terminate, resolve (under article 1,124 if the Spanish Civil
Code or any other) or rescind the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall
not be applicable in any case in the event of eviction (evicción), fraud or willful
misconduct (dolo), in which case the Purchaser reserves its right to the remedies available
to it under Spanish Law. |
| 7.7.3. | The Purchaser waives (i) any rights
to terminate the Agreement due to an Inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations and
Warranties, an aliud pro alio, or invalid consent (vicio del consentimiento) , (ii) any
non-contractual liability (responsabilidad extracontractual) arising out of or in connection
with this Agreement (including in respect of any non-contractual obligations arising out
of the negotiation of this Agreement), and (iii) any rights to make any claim in connection
with this Agreement against (a) any Affiliate of the Seller, (b) the current or
former directors, representatives, employees, or advisors of the Seller or any Affiliate
of the Seller, or (c) any other person other than the Seller. |
| 8.1. | In the event of any claim for Damages arising
from an Inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties (each of them, individually,
a “Claim”), the following provisions, subject to the liability limitations
detailed in Clause 7.4 shall apply. |
| 8.2. | In the event that the Purchaser does not
comply with the timeframes and/or requirements set forth under this Agreement, the Seller
shall not be held liable nor responsible for any Claim. |
| 8.3. | The Purchaser shall give notice to the Seller
in writing of any Claim (a “Claim Notice”) within forty-five (45) Business
Days from effectively acknowledging the existence of the facts giving rise to the Claim.
The Purchaser shall not be entitled to deliver a Claim Notice once the foregoing timeframe
has elapsed. |
| 8.4. | If the relevant Claim is not a Third-Party
Claim (as defined in Clause 8.5 below): |
| (i) | Each Claim Notice shall state, with respect
to any particular Claim: (a) the obligations established in this Agreement which have
been breached (with reference to the relevant Clauses), (b) a description of the Claim,
(c) if possible at such stage, the nature and amount of the Damages duly justified,
and (d) copies of any supporting documentation considered reasonable and pertinent by
the Purchaser. |
| (ii) | The Seller has a time limit of twenty
(20) Business Days from receipt of the Claim Notice to respond to the Purchaser, indicating
whether it accepts or rejects, totally or partially, the Claim. During this term, the Purchaser
shall grant the Seller and its advisors reasonable access to that information which may be
deemed necessary to take a decision about the Claim. |
| (iii) | If the limitations set forth by the
Seller’s liability regime do not apply, and if the Seller accepts the Claim, it shall
become final and binding, and the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of the Damages
determined in the Claim Notice, within ten (10) Business Days from the date of the Seller’s
response. |
| (iv) | If the Seller rejects the Claim or does
not provide a response in due time, the Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good
faith during ten (10) Business Days in order to reach an agreement regarding (a) whether
or not the Claim is justified and appropriate, and (b) if applicable, the amount of
the Damages. |
| (v) | If the Seller and the Purchaser do not
reach an agreement within the specified ten (10) Business Days, either Party shall have
the right to submit their dispute to the courts according to Clause 20 below. |
| 8.5. | If the Claim is based on Damages that may
arise from a claim made against the Purchaser by a third-party (a “Third-Party Claim”): |
| (i) | The Claim Notice must be submitted within
thirty (30) Business Days from receiving the Third-Party Claim (and in any event, before
the expiration of the first half (1/2) of the term specified in the Third-Party Claim, or
resulting from applicable Laws and regulations, to respond, appeal or oppose such claim).
The Claim Notice shall include a copy of the Third-Party Claim and any other documentation
which may be deemed necessary in order to enable the Seller’s defense against such
Third-Party Claim. |
| (ii) | The Seller shall inform the Purchaser
whether the Seller accepts or reject the Third-Party Claim within twenty (20) Business Days
as from receipt of the Claim Notice, or, if the Third-Party Claim is subject to a time limit
to appeal or oppose such claim, prior to the expiration of half (1/2) of the term available
to reply to or answer the Third-Party Claim. |
| (iii) | If the limitations set forth by the
Seller’s liability regime do not apply, and if the Seller agrees with the Third-Party
Claim, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of the Third-Party Claim within ten
(10) Business Days from the Seller’s response. |
| (iv) | In the event that the Seller opposes
the Third-Party Claim, it shall have the right (but not the obligation) to defend such Third-Party
Claim. If the Seller so elects, the Seller shall have the exclusive right and control over
such defense (including the exclusive right to compromise or settle the Third-Party Claim),
and the Purchaser shall carry out whatever actions may be deemed necessary in order to enable
the Seller to oppose such Third-Party Claim (including, in particular, but not limited to,
the granting of powers of attorney in favor of the attorneys and court agents appointed by
the Seller). If Seller decides to take control over the defense, the defense legal fees,
costs and expenses, including those related to guarantees, deposits, bonds, bank endorsements,
and advance payments, shall be borne exclusively by the Seller. If Seller decides not to
defend such Third-Party Claim, then the Seller shall carry out whatever actions may be deemed
necessary in order to enable the Purchaser to deal with such Third-Party Claim. |
| (v) | In the event that the Seller opposes to
the Third-Party Claim but does not exercise its right to defend such Third-Party Claim, the
Purchaser shall, in good faith, assume such defense. At first instance, the defense legal
fees, costs and expenses, including those related to guarantees, deposits, bonds, bank endorsements,
and advance payments, shall be borne exclusively by the Purchaser. |
If such opposed Third-Party Claim is
resolved by (a) a final and binding judicial ruling or arbitration award in favor of a third-party claimant not subject to appeal,
or (b) a binding settlement transaction (which shall always be subject to the prior consent of the Seller), whereby the Purchaser
must pay a specific amount, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser such amount (including any associated expenses and costs), to the extent
that the limitations set forth by the Seller’s liability regime do not apply (if the Seller has provided its consent, the limitations
shall not be taken into account). This payment shall be made within ten (10) Business Days from the Seller becoming aware of the
abovementioned judicial ruling, arbitration award or settlement transaction.
Furthermore, if the opposed Third-Party
Claim is finally resolved by (a) a final and binding judicial ruling or arbitration award against a third-party claimant not subject
to appeal, or (b) a binding settlement transaction, whereby the Purchaser is released or exempted from any obligation to compensate
the third-party claimant, the Seller shall not be liable for any amount to the Purchaser.
| 8.6. | The Purchaser and the Seller shall keep each
other informed, at all times, of the status of the Third-Party Claims, irrespective of the
Party that has assumed the defense. Both Parties agree to cooperate and provide each other
with reasonable assistance that may be required or convenient in connection with the defense
of a Third-Party Claim. |
| 9. | Purchaser’s liability regime |
| 9.1. | The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants
to the Seller that every statement set forth in Schedule 9.1 (the “Purchaser’s
Representations and Warranties”) is correct, accurate and complete in all material
respects on the date hereof. |
| 9.2. | Subject to the limitations set forth in this
Clause, the Purchaser hereby agrees that, from and after the date hereof, it shall fully
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller from, against and in respect of any Damages
(as defined below) imposed on or suffered by the Seller relating to or arising out of: |
| (i) | the breach, untruthfulness or error of
any of the Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties made by the Purchaser in connection
with this Agreement and any document executed, signed or delivered to the Seller on the date
hereof (the “Inaccuracy of the Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties”); |
| (ii) | the breach of any covenant or obligation
of the Purchaser pursuant to (a) this Agreement, other than an Inaccuracy of the Purchaser’s
Representations and Warranties; (both to be jointly referred to as a “Purchaser’s
Breach”). |
| 9.3. | For the purposes of this Clause, “Damages”
shall have the same meaning ascribed to that term under Clause 7.2.2, mutandis mutandis. |
| 9.4. | With respect to any indemnification claim
by the Seller under this Clause, the rules and procedures set out in Clauses 7.3 to
7.7, and (ii) Clause 8 shall apply, where applicable, mutandis mutandis. In particular,
any indemnification paid by the Purchaser under this Clause 9 shall always be considered
as an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by Law. |
| 10. | Payments. Late payments |
| 10.1. | All payments to be made under this Agreement
shall be made in full and free from any deduction, withholding or Tax save as may be required
by Law, in which event such deduction, withholding or Tax shall not exceed the minimum amount
which it is required by Law to deduct or withhold. |
| 10.2. | If any amount required to be paid under
this Agreement is not paid when it is due, such amount shall bear default interest at the
rate of 3-month EURIBOR plus 2.5% per annum, calculated on a daily basis for the period from
the relevant due date for payment up to, and including, the date of actual payment, which
interest shall be compounded monthly, and shall apply in addition to (and not in lieu of)
any other interest payable (if any) in accordance with other provisions of this Agreement. |
| 10.3. | The penalties agreed in this Clause are
established as specific penalty clauses and are cumulative to any other remedies available
at Law to the Seller. The Parties agree to exclude the power of Court moderation regulated
in article 1,154 of the Spanish Civil Code. The Parties expressly accept the appropriateness
and proportionality of the agreed penalties and, consequently, expressly and irrevocably
waive any right to take any action, judicial or extrajudicial, aimed at avoiding, excluding
or preventing its application, or to request its moderation or reduction. |
| 11.1. | Any communication to be given in connection
with the matters contemplated in this Agreement shall be in English and in writing and shall
either be delivered by hand (including by courier) or sent by first class pre-paid post or
email . |

SPA and, specially, its undertaking to execute the Deferred Payments.
The Parties acknowledge that the Pledge
over the Orpheus Shares, exclusively in relation to the 74 Shares (as defined below), shall be released pursuant to Clause 2.3 below.
The Parties further acknowledge that
the Pledge over the Orpheus Shares, exclusively in relation to the 442 Shares (as defined below), shall be released on receipt by BP
of the two deferred payments pursuant to Clause 3.1 below. The number of Orpheus Shares to be released from the Pledge shall be pro rata
to the amount of the deferred payment received by BP as a proportion of the total 442 Shares Purchase Price (as defined below).

| (a) | 74 Class A shares numbered from
1,501 to 1,574 (both inclusive) which represent a stake of, approximately, 2.47% of the Company’s
share capital (the “74 Shares”) from the Seller; and |
| (b) | 442 Class A shares numbered from
1,722to 2,163 (both inclusive) which represent a stake of, approximately, 14.73% of the Company’s
share capital (the “442 Shares” and, together with the 74 Shares, the
"Shares") from the Seller, |
and the Seller has agreed to sell
and transfer full ownership of such Shares to the Purchaser pursuant to the purchase price, terms and conditions stipulated in this Agreement.
NOW
THEREFORE, the Parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement in accordance with the following
CLAUSES
| 1. | Definitions and interpretation rules |
| 1.1. | Unless
otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meaning
ascribed to them in Schedule 1.1. |
| 1.2. | Unless
otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with
the construction rules set forth in Schedule 1.2. |
| 2. | Sale and purchase of the Shares |
| 2.1. | This
Agreement sets out the terms and conditions through which the Seller agrees to transfer and
sell the Shares to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to acquire from the Seller the
Shares, along with all economic and political rights attached thereto, free from any Encumbrances
except for any rights or obligations granted in favor of BP or any other parties which are
set forth in the SHA, the Orpheus SPA and/or in the Company’s by-laws. |
| 2.2. | Transfer
of the 74 Shares shall take place upon receipt of the 74 Shares Purchase Price by BP in accordance
with Clause 3 below. Accordingly, notwithstanding the execution of this Agreement and the
SPA Deed, the Seller shall keep the full title and possession of the 74 Shares until payment
of the 74 Shares Purchase Price by the Purchaser and, if the Purchaser fails to pay the 74
Shares Purchase Price pursuant to Clause 3.2 below the Seller and/or BP shall be entitled
to either (i) require that the Purchaser pays the 74 Shares Purchase Price, or (ii) if
the Seller and BP determine that the Purchaser is unable to pay the 74 Shares Purchase Price,
terminate this transaction in relation to all the Shares (in which case the Purchaser will
return the relevant Shares to the Seller and the Seller will procure that BP will return
the 74 Shares Purchase Price effectively paid to BP on behalf of the Seller), and claim the
relevant Damages from the Purchaser. |
| 2.3. | The
consideration to be paid by the Purchaser for the acquisition of the 74 Shares shall be the
74 Shares Purchase Price (as defined in Clause 3 below). The consideration for the acquisition
by the Purchaser of the 442 Shares shall be the assumption of the Seller's purchase price
payment obligation to BP in relation to the 442 Shares pursuant to the Orpheus SPA in accordance
with Clause 3.1 below. Accordingly, the Seller shall be released from any payment obligation
in connection with the 442 Shares. |
The purchase price to be paid by the
Purchaser for the 74 Shares is EUR 10,045,248.87 (the “74 Shares Purchase Price”).
The consideration to be paid by the
Purchaser for the acquisition of the 442 Shares shall be the assumption by the Purchaser of the Seller's obligation to pay EUR 60,000,000
(the "442 Shares Purchase Price") to BP for such number of shares pursuant to the Orpheus SPA which, as set out in Recital
VI of this Agreement, is payable in two deferred payments, the next deferred payment being due on 15 June 2024 and the final deferred
payment being due on 15 June 2025.
For the avoidance of doubt, the 74
Shares Purchase Price and the 442 Shares Purchase Price includes the price of the Shares along with all economic and political rights
attached thereto.
| 3.2. | Payment
of the 74 Shares Purchase Price |
The Purchaser will pay the 74 Shares
Purchase Price to BP, on account of the Seller, in order to (partly) comply with the Seller’s obligations corresponding to the
First Deferred Payment that should be executed by the Seller under the Orpheus SPA, through irrevocable wire transfers executed on the
date of this Agreement to a bank account designated by BP.
Upon receipt of the 74 Shares Purchase
Price, BP shall grant to the Seller a pay-off letter for the amount of the 74 Shares Purchase Price in partial satisfaction of the First
Deferred Payment, which will be deemed to have been partially paid to BP for an amount equal to the 74 Shares Purchase Price, and the
letter will partly release and discharge, from any and all actions whatsoever which BP had, has or could have against the Seller in connection
with the aforementioned First Deferred Payment.
Upon receipt of the deferred payments
(i.e., the 442 Shares Purchase Price) in respect of the 442 Shares on 15 June 2024 and 15 June 2025 from the Purchaser in accordance
with Clause 3.1, BP shall grant to the Purchaser a pay-off letter for the amount of the 442 Shares Purchase Price in partial satisfaction
of the Second Deferred Payment or Third Deferred Payment (as appropriate), which will be deemed to have been partially paid to BP for
the payment made in respect of the 442 Shares Purchase Price, and the letter will partly release and discharge, from any and all actions
whatsoever which BP had, has or could have against the Purchaser in connection with the aforementioned Second Deferred Payment or Third
Deferred Payment (as appropriate).
| 3.3. | The
payment of the 74 Shares Purchase Price to the Seller and the payment of the 442 Shares Purchase
Price to BP shall be executed by the Purchaser free from any deduction or withholding, whether
on account of any wire transfer commissions, costs, charges, Taxes, withholding Taxes, or
any other concept whatsoever. |
| 4. | Shareholders’ Agreement and
BCA |
Simultaneously with the execution of
this Agreement:
| (i) | The
Seller, the Purchaser, LIBERO Football Finance AG, Blaugrana Invest, and BP shall
enter into a binding amendment to the SHA; and |
| (ii) | FCB, BP and Mountain shall enter into
a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”),
which closing shall be subject to certain conditions. |
| 5. | Success
Fee & Other Compensation |
Purchaser shall be entitled to receive
a success fee (if any) payable in cash equal to the product of the fixed percentage rate of 2.50% (i.e. a 5.00% jointly percentage rate
under the two sale and purchase agreements executed on the date hereof by the Purchaser) multiplied by the amount of the cash proceeds
actually paid in respect of an investment into the Company by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement (such fee, the “Success Fee”).
| 5.2. | Payment
of the Success Fee |
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, payment of the Success Fee shall be conditional upon the closing of the transactions contemplated
by the Business Combination Agreement to be concluded by and among the SPAC, FCB, BP, as defined by such Business Combination Agreement
(the “Closing”). Payment of the Success Fee shall be made by the SPAC or the parent company of which any shareholders
of the SPAC or BP will be shareholders as of the Closing (the “Combined Entity”) to Purchaser within ten (10) Business
Days following the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account to be designated by Purchaser.
At the Closing, each of the Parties
agree to contribute all of their shares in the Company owned by it in exchange for TopCo Ordinary Shares (as defined in the BCA) in accordance
with the BCA, including, but not limited to, Sections 2.1 and 6.27 of the BCA. In furtherance, but not in limitation of the foregoing,
each of the Parties shall contribute each Share owned by it to TopCo at the Closing in exchange for the corresponding TopCo Ordinary
Shares pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.1 of the BCA and such TopCo Ordinary Shares shall be subject to 180 day lock-up
following the Closing on terms to be mutually agreed by the parties hereto prior to the Closing. Except as expressly contemplated by
the BCA or this Agreement, none of the Parties shall transfer, assign, sell or Encumber any of their shares in the Company other than
to wholly-owned Affiliates that agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
The Parties agree that the exchange
of shares in the Company for TopCo Ordinary Shares shall be carried out in the terms set out in Clause 2.1.(c) of the Business Combination
Agreement.
The
parties hereto agree that Purchaser has the right to designate one (1) to-be-identified director to the TopCo Board of Directors
at (and conditional upon) the Closing, subject to the Purchaser paying the Purchase Price in full pursuant to, and in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
| 6. | Sale and Purchase Deed / Completion |
| 6.1. | Within
a maximum term of 10 Business Days as of this date, this Agreement shall be notarised (Elevado
a público) before a Notary Public of Barcelona by means of a public deed (escritura
pública) of sale and purchase of the Shares (the “SPA Deed”)
and, consequently, the Seller will transfer to the Purchaser its title over the Shares. |
| 6.2. | Simultaneously
with the execution of the SPA Deed, the Parties shall also perform the following closing
actions as part of a single transaction: |
| (i) | Legal capacity: The Parties shall
exhibit to the Notary (as defined below) powers of attorney or the relevant documentation
evidencing the legal capacity of their respective representatives for the execution of the
SPA Deed and to perform any other Closing Actions contemplated in this Agreement. |
| (ii) | Waiver of pre-emption rights:
The Seller undertakes to execute, jointly with BP and Blaugrana Invest, the relevant minutes
of the shareholders’ meeting of the Company waiving its pre-emption rights and authorizing
the transfer of the Shares and the execution of this Agreement. |
| (iii) | Ownership of the Shares: The
secretary to the board of directors of the Company shall issue a certificate representing
the share capital distribution of the Company and the Seller’s ownership over the Shares
upon execution of the SPA Deed (“SPA Closing”). |
| (iv) | Delivery of the Shares’ title
deed: The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser the title deed proving the ownership
of the Shares. |
| (v) | Updating the Shares’ Registry
Book: The secretary of the Company shall record in the Shares’ Registry Book (Libro
Registro de Socios) the transfer of the Shares in favour of the Purchaser. |
| (vi) | Corporate resolutions: The Seller
undertakes to execute, jointly with BP, Blaugrana Invest and the Purchaser, the relevant
minutes of the general shareholders’ meeting of the Company voting in favour of any
corporate resolutions which shall be adopted as a result of the execution of this Agreement
(including, but not limited to the amendment of the Company’s by-laws, the resignation
and appointment of members of the Board of Directors, etc.). |
| (vii) | Deed of release of the Pledge over
Orpheus Shares: BP, the Company and Orpheus shall grant a deed of release in relation
to the Pledge over the Orpheus Shares in relation to the 74 Shares. |
For the sake of clarity, the abovementioned
actions shall be undertaken simultaneously on the SPA Closing, as part of a single transaction (unidad de acto). Consequently,
none of the foregoing actions shall be held to have been completed until such time as each and every one of the other actions is completed.
| 7. | Sellers’ liability regime |
| 7.1. | Seller’s
Representations and Warranties |
The Seller hereby represents and warrants
to the Purchaser that every statement set forth in Schedule 7.1 (the “Seller’s Representations and Warranties”)
is correct, accurate and complete in all material respects on the date hereof.
| 7.2. | Seller’s
obligation to indemnify the Purchaser |
| 7.2.1. | Subject
to the limitations set forth in this Clause, the Seller hereby agrees that, from and after
the date hereof, it shall fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser from, against
and in respect of any Damages (as such term is defined below) imposed on or suffered by the
Purchaser relating to or arising out of: |
| (i) | the breach, untruthfulness or error of
any of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties made by the Seller in connection
with this Agreement (the “Inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations and Warranties”); |
| (ii) | the breach of any covenant or obligation
of the Seller pursuant to (a) this Agreement, other than an Inaccuracy of the Seller’s
Representations and Warranties (“Seller’s Breach”). |
| 7.2.2. | For
purposes of this Agreement, “Damages” shall mean any direct and effective
damages (daños directos y efectivos), subject to the exclusions and limitations
set forth in the paragraph below, which shall include any reasonable and ordinary legal fees
and expenses incurred by the Purchaser as a consequence of the Seller’s breaches as
contemplated in this Clause 7. |
| 7.2.3. | By
way of illustration, and without limitation, the following concepts are excluded from the
definition of Damages and the Seller shall therefore not be subject to liability in respect
thereof: |
| (i) | any indirect damages (daños
indirectos), any loss of profits or revenues (lucro cesante), moral or reputational
damages (daños morales o de imagen); |
| (ii) | damages suffered by the Purchaser or
any third party due to an alleged frustration of expectations or an alleged overpayment for
the Shares; and |
| (iii) | damages which are contingent only or
otherwise not capable of being quantified, unless and until such damages give rise to an
actual and necessary cash out of the Purchaser before the expiration of the time limits set
forth in Clause 7.5. |
| 7.2.4. | The
Seller shall not be subject to liability for any damages which are not expressly included
in the foregoing definition of Damages. |
| 7.2.5. | Any
Damages paid by the Seller under this Clause shall always be considered as an adjustment
to the Purchase Price to the extent permitted by Law. |
| 7.3. | Procedural
observance limit |
The indemnification obligation by the
Seller is subject to the Purchaser having timely made the Claim Notice or the Claim Notice of Third-Party Claim, and in due form, and,
generally, having complied with the terms set out in Clauses 8.5 and 8.6 below.
The indemnification obligation of the
Seller, as set out in this Clause, shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equivalent to 100% of the Purchase Price, provided
that in no event the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser above the amount of the Purchase Price paid up by the Purchaser pursuant to
Clause 3, unless fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct applies.
The right to obtain an indemnification
for any Damages from the Seller shall only arise if the Purchaser has served to the Seller a Claim Notice or a Notice of Third-Party
Claim no later than one (1) month from the end of the statutory limitation with regards to any Inaccuracy of the Seller’s
Representations and Warranties set forth in Schedule 7.1 or to any Seller’s Breach.
| (i) | Mitigation
obligations: The Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to carry out and shall
assist the Seller in carrying out all reasonable actions that may be required in order to
mitigate the amount of Damages to be compensated by the Seller. |
| (ii) | Third-party
compensation: In the event that the Seller has paid to the Purchaser a sum as a result
of a Claim and, subsequently, the Purchaser obtains at any time payment from any third party
(including but not limited to Social Security or any other administrative authority) in relation
to such Claim, the Purchaser must reimburse to the Seller the amount previously paid to the
Purchaser within the following ten (10) Business Days, up to the amount paid by such
third party, excluding any Damages incurred by the Purchaser in recovering such amount from
the third party. |
| (iii) | Compliance
with Third-Party Claim contractual requirements: The Seller shall not be liable for any
Damages attributable to any Third-Party Claim in respect of which the Purchaser has not complied
with its obligations under Clause 8.5, including any admission of liability made after the
SPA Closing by the Purchaser or its respective agents or representatives. |
| (iv) | Definitive
determination of Damages: The Seller shall not be liable for any Damages that (i) have
been resolved in writing between the Seller and the Purchaser; or (ii) have not been
resolved by a first instance court resolution which declares the Seller’s obligation
to indemnify the Purchaser under this Agreement. |
| (v) | Insurance:
The Seller shall not be liable for any Damages that have been effectively recovered by the
Purchaser under applicable insurance policies which the Purchaser has in place or from any
other third party with indemnification obligations or from any other Person subject to liability
in respect thereof. |
| (vi) | Changes
in Laws: The Seller shall not be liable for the Damages arising from any regulations
or legal provisions not in force on the SPA Closing, as well as any other variation or modification
of any regulations or legal provisions, or any change in the current practice of any Tax,
Social Security or administrative authority made or entered into effect after the SPA Closing. |
| (vii) | The
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Seller does not give or make any warranty, undertaking,
representation, promise or other statement as to the accuracy of the forecasts, estimates,
projections, statements of intent or statements of honestly expressed opinion provided to
the Purchaser (however so provided) on or prior to the date of this Agreement, assuming that
such information was not provided under fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct. |
| (viii) | The
liability regime assumed by the Seller under this Agreement is intuitu personae to
the benefit only of the Purchaser. |
| (ix) | In
the event that the Seller, at any time after the date hereof, wishes to take out insurance
against any liability which may arise under the Seller’s Representations and Warranties
or this Agreement the Purchaser agrees, subject to receipt of appropriate undertakings as
to confidentiality and to such provision not being disruptive to the business of the Purchaser’s
Group, to provide, at the Seller’s expense, such information as any prospective insurer
or insurance broker may reasonably require for the purposes of effecting such insurance and
to do or procure the doing of all acts and to execute or procure the execution of all documents
necessary to effect such insurance. |
| (x) | The
Purchase Price and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement have been agreed on the
basis that, other than the Seller’s Representations and Warranties, the Seller makes
no other representations and warranties, express or implied, to the Purchaser with respect
to the Company. |
Furthermore, in view of the fact that
the Seller has not been involved in the day-to-day management of the Company, the Seller shall assume no responsibility for any contingencies,
hidden liabilities or damages of any kind that may affect the Company as a result of past or future events, and the Purchaser assumes
all the benefits, losses and risks of the Company in relation to the Shares transferred.
| 7.7. | Indemnification
as sole remedy |
| 7.7.1. | The
Parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement on the basis that the sole and exclusive
remedy of the Purchaser hereunder in respect of Inaccuracy of Seller’s Representations
and Warranties shall be the right to be indemnified by the Seller pursuant to the definition
of Damages and to the other terms, conditions, limitations and qualifications set forth in
this Clause. |
| 7.7.2. | The
Parties acknowledge and agree that the rights and remedies contemplated in this Agreement
shall replace in their entirety the provisions addressing liability of a seller with respect
to obligations under purchase and sale or other agreements set forth in the Spanish Civil
Code, the Commercial Code, and otherwise under the Laws of Spain. Therefore, the Purchaser
expressly waives, in the broadest terms admissible by law, to (i) any claim against
the Seller for any error, hidden defects (vicios ocultos) under the Spanish Civil Code, non-compliance
or invalid consent (vicio del consentimiento) or (ii) to terminate, resolve (under article
1,124 if the Spanish Civil Code or any other) or rescind the Agreement. For the avoidance
of doubt, the foregoing shall not be applicable in any case in the event of eviction (evicción),
fraud or willful misconduct (dolo), in which case the Purchaser reserves its right to the
remedies available to it under Spanish Law. |
| 7.7.3. | The
Purchaser waives (i) any rights to terminate the Agreement due to an Inaccuracy of the
Seller’s Representations and Warranties, an aliud pro alio, or invalid consent (vicio
del consentimiento) , (ii) any non-contractual liability (responsabilidad extracontractual)
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including in respect of any non-contractual
obligations arising out of the negotiation of this Agreement), and (iii) any rights
to make any claim in connection with this Agreement against (a) any Affiliate of the
Seller, (b) the current or former directors, representatives, employees, or advisors
of the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or (c) any other person other than the
Seller. |
| 8.1. | In
the event of any claim for Damages arising from an Inaccuracy of the Seller’s Representations
and Warranties (each of them, individually, a “Claim”), the following
provisions, subject to the liability limitations detailed in Clause 7.4 shall apply. |
| 8.2. | In
the event that the Purchaser does not comply with the timeframes and/or requirements set
forth under this Agreement, the Seller shall not be held liable nor responsible for any Claim. |
| 8.3. | The
Purchaser shall give notice to the Seller in writing of any Claim (a “Claim Notice”)
within forty-five (45) Business Days from effectively acknowledging the existence of the
facts giving rise to the Claim. The Purchaser shall not be entitled to deliver a Claim Notice
once the foregoing timeframe has elapsed. |
| 8.4. | If
the relevant Claim is not a Third-Party Claim (as defined in Clause 8.5 below): |
| (i) | Each Claim Notice shall state, with respect
to any particular Claim: (a) the obligations established in this Agreement which have
been breached (with reference to the relevant Clauses), (b) a description of the Claim,
(c) if possible at such stage, the nature and amount of the Damages duly justified,
and (d) copies of any supporting documentation considered reasonable and pertinent by
the Purchaser. |
| (ii) | The
Seller has a time limit of twenty (20) Business Days from receipt of the Claim Notice to
respond to the Purchaser, indicating whether it accepts or rejects, totally or partially,
the Claim. During this term, the Purchaser shall grant the Seller and its advisors
reasonable access to that information which may be deemed necessary to take a decision about
the Claim. |
| (iii) | If the limitations set forth by the
Seller’s liability regime do not apply, and if the Seller accepts the Claim, it shall
become final and binding, and the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of the Damages
determined in the Claim Notice, within ten (10) Business Days from the date of the Seller’s
response. |
| (iv) | If the Seller rejects the Claim or does
not provide a response in due time, the Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good
faith during ten (10) Business Days in order to reach an agreement regarding (a) whether
or not the Claim is justified and appropriate, and (b) if applicable, the amount of
the Damages. |
| (v) | If the Seller and the Purchaser do not
reach an agreement within the specified ten (10) Business Days, either Party shall have
the right to submit their dispute to the courts according to Clause 20 below. |
| 8.5. | If
the Claim is based on Damages that may arise from a claim made against the Purchaser by a
third-party (a “Third-Party Claim”): |
| (i) | The Claim Notice must be submitted within
thirty (30) Business Days from receiving the Third-Party Claim (and in any event, before
the expiration of the first half (1/2) of the term specified in the Third-Party Claim, or
resulting from applicable Laws and regulations, to respond, appeal or oppose such claim).
The Claim Notice shall include a copy of the Third-Party Claim and any other documentation
which may be deemed necessary in order to enable the Seller’s defense against such
Third-Party Claim. |
| (ii) | The Seller shall inform the Purchaser
whether the Seller accepts or reject the Third-Party Claim within twenty (20) Business Days
as from receipt of the Claim Notice, or, if the Third-Party Claim is subject to a time limit
to appeal or oppose such claim, prior to the expiration of half (1/2) of the term available
to reply to or answer the Third-Party Claim. |
| (iii) | If the limitations set forth by the
Seller’s liability regime do not apply, and if the Seller agrees with the Third-Party
Claim, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of the Third-Party Claim within ten
(10) Business Days from the Seller’s response. |
| (iv) | In
the event that the Seller opposes the Third-Party Claim, it shall have the right (but not
the obligation) to defend such Third-Party Claim. If the Seller so elects, the Seller
shall have the exclusive right and control over such defense (including the exclusive right
to compromise or settle the Third-Party Claim), and the Purchaser shall carry out whatever
actions may be deemed necessary in order to enable the Seller to oppose such Third-Party
Claim (including, in particular, but not limited to, the granting of powers of attorney in
favor of the attorneys and court agents appointed by the Seller). If Seller decides to take
control over the defense, the defense legal fees, costs and expenses, including those related
to guarantees, deposits, bonds, bank endorsements, and advance payments, shall be borne exclusively
by the Seller. If Seller decides not to defend such Third-Party Claim, then the Seller shall
carry out whatever actions may be deemed necessary in order to enable the Purchaser to deal
with such Third-Party Claim. |
| (v) | In
the event that the Seller opposes to the Third-Party Claim but does not exercise its right
to defend such Third-Party Claim, the Purchaser shall, in good faith, assume such
defense. At first instance, the defense legal fees, costs and expenses, including those related
to guarantees, deposits, bonds, bank endorsements, and advance payments, shall be borne exclusively
by the Purchaser. |
If such opposed Third-Party Claim is
resolved by (a) a final and binding judicial ruling or arbitration award in favor of a third-party claimant not subject to appeal,
or (b) a binding settlement transaction (which shall always be subject to the prior consent of the Seller), whereby the Purchaser
must pay a specific amount, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser such amount (including any associated expenses and costs), to the extent
that the limitations set forth by the Seller’s liability regime do not apply (if the Seller has provided its consent, the limitations
shall not be taken into account). This payment shall be made within ten (10) Business Days from the Seller becoming aware of the
abovementioned judicial ruling, arbitration award or settlement transaction.
Furthermore, if the opposed Third-Party
Claim is finally resolved by (a) a final and binding judicial ruling or arbitration award against a third-party claimant not subject
to appeal, or (b) a binding settlement transaction, whereby the Purchaser is released or exempted from any obligation to compensate
the third-party claimant, the Seller shall not be liable for any amount to the Purchaser.
| 8.6. | The
Purchaser and the Seller shall keep each other informed, at all times, of the status of the
Third-Party Claims, irrespective of the Party that has assumed the defense. Both Parties
agree to cooperate and provide each other with reasonable assistance that may be required
or convenient in connection with the defense of a Third-Party Claim. |
| 9. | Purchaser’s liability regime |
| 9.1. | The
Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Seller that every statement set forth in
Schedule 9.1 (the “Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties”)
is correct, accurate and complete in all material respects on the date hereof. |
| 9.2. | Subject
to the limitations set forth in this Clause, the Purchaser hereby agrees that, from and after
the date hereof, it shall fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller from, against
and in respect of any Damages (as defined below) imposed on or suffered by the Seller relating
to or arising out of: |
| (i) | the breach, untruthfulness or error of
any of the Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties made by the Purchaser in connection
with this Agreement and any document executed, signed or delivered to the Seller on the date
hereof (the “Inaccuracy of the Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties”); |
| (ii) | the breach of any covenant or obligation
of the Purchaser pursuant to (a) this Agreement, other than an Inaccuracy of the Purchaser’s
Representations and Warranties; (both to be jointly referred to as a “Purchaser’s
Breach”). |
| 9.3. | For
the purposes of this Clause, “Damages” shall have the same meaning ascribed
to that term under Clause 7.2.2, mutandis mutandis. |
| 9.4. | With
respect to any indemnification claim by the Seller under this Clause, the rules and
procedures set out in Clauses 7.3 to 7.7, and (ii) Clause 8 shall apply, where applicable,
mutandis mutandis. In particular, any indemnification paid by the Purchaser under
this Clause 9 shall always be considered as an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent
permitted by Law. |
| 10. | Payments. Late payments |
| 10.1. | All
payments to be made under this Agreement shall be made in full and free from any deduction,
withholding or Tax save as may be required by Law, in which event such deduction, withholding
or Tax shall not exceed the minimum amount which it is required by Law to deduct or withhold. |
| 10.2. | If
any amount required to be paid under this Agreement is not paid when it is due, such amount
shall bear default interest at the rate of 3-month EURIBOR plus 2.5% per annum, calculated
on a daily basis for the period from the relevant due date for payment up to, and including,
the date of actual payment, which interest shall be compounded monthly, and shall apply in
addition to (and not in lieu of) any other interest payable (if any) in accordance with other

contract, obligation, promise, commitment, grant, cooperative agreement or undertaking (whether written
or oral and whether express or implied), to which Consultant is a party pertaining to any payment of
the Fee (as defined below), or any portion thereof, by the Consultant to any third party which would
be, or would reasonably be expected to be, an illegal bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback
or other unlawful payment. |
II. SERVICES
2.1. | Consultant
has, on a non-exclusive basis, identified and introduced a third party investor to SPAC,
FCB and/or Target to assume or backstop the obligation to pay all or part of the Total Payment
Amounts pursuant to the Backstop Agreement (the “Consultant’s Obligation”),
for which SPAC undertakes to procure to the Consultant payment of the Fee, on the terms and
subject to the conditions of this Agreement. |
2.2. | The Parties expressly agree that Consultant has fulfilled the Consultant’s
Obligation in whole and is in no way liable and/or responsible for the fulfillment of the obligations
arising under the Backstop Agreement (as defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Consultant
is not liable and/or responsible for (x) the actual payment of the Total Payment Amounts and/or
(y) the legal validity, in whole or in part, of the Backstop Agreement and (ii) the actual
payment of the Total Payment Amounts by the Guarantor (as such term is defined in the Backstop Agreement)
and/or the legal validity, in whole or in part, of the Backstop Agreement shall not impact the right
of Consultant set forth in Article III in any way. |
2.3. | The Parties expressly agree that the signature of [redacted] to the signature pages of the Backstop Agreement shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy the
fulfillment of the Consultant’s Obligation. |
III. REMUNERATION
3.1. | Consultant
shall be entitled to receive a fixed fee payable in cash equal to the fixed amount of EUR
4,100,000 (such fee calculated pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.1, the
“Fee”). Payment of the Fee will be conditional upon the closing of the
DeSPAC Transaction. For the avoidance of any doubt the Parties hereto expressly agree that
the Consultant has fulfilled the Consultant’s Obligation, in light of the execution
of the Backstop Agreement attached hereto as Schedule 1 (hereinafter, the “Backstop
Agreement”) (the amount described in this clause (B), the “Backstopped
Amount”). |
3.2. | The
Backstop Agreement is attached hereto as Schedule 1 and forms an integral part hereof.
The Parties hereby agree that any material changes and amendments to the executed Backstop
Agreement, which shall be executed substantially in the form set forth in Schedule 1
hereto, shall require the approval of both Parties by initialling. |
3.3. | SPAC
hereby undertakes to either procure (i.e., ensure payment by the parent company
of which any shareholders of the SPAC or FCB will be shareholders as of the closing of the
Transaction (the “Combined Entity”)) or settle (i.e., directly
pay) to Consultant the Fee on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. |
3.4. | SPAC hereby declares that it is fully responsible for and guarantees
the payment of the Fee to the Consultant on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement
(i.e., if the Consultant is not reimbursed the Fee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
SPAC itself undertakes to fully reimburse the Fee to the Consultant in accordance with this Article III. |
3.5. | Payment
of the amount of the Fee shall be made by the SPAC or by the Combined Entity to Consultant
as promptly as practicable following (and conditional upon) the Closing Date (as such term
will be defined in the business combination agreement to be entered into by SPAC, FCB, the
Combined Entity and/or any other party thereto (or any of the parties detailed above or such
parties’ affiliates), the “BCA”) of the Transaction, by bank transfer
to Consultant’s bank account according to details provided by Consultant to the SPAC
or to the Combined Entity, but in any way the Fee should be paid no later than ten (10) days
following the Closing Date. |
3.6. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, payment of the Fee
shall not be conditional upon the Backstopped Amount actually being drawn upon by Futbol Club Barcelona
or Barça Produccions S.L. |
3.7. | Each
of SPAC and Consultant shall bear its own costs in connection to this Agreement. |
3.8. | Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, Consultation Agreement, dated 29 September 2021 by and between
Dr. Cornelius Boersch and Bukvic Media GmbH (“Consultation Agreement 2021”)
does not apply to the subject of this Agreement, therefore any fees paid on the basis of
this Agreement will not be further and additionally owed on the basis of the Consultation
Agreement 2021, that is, Bukvic Media GmbH waives double charging of the fees. |
IV. COMMUNICATION &
CONFIDENTIALITY
4.1. | The
SPAC is entitled to disclose that it has entered into this Agreement and such other information
as (a) has been consented to in writing (via email is sufficient) by the Parties, or
(b) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, judicial or governmental order,
subpoena or other legal process or is requested or required by any governmental authority
or regulatory agency, including, without limitation, any disclosures called for by the rules and
regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. |
4.2. | Consultant
may receive or become aware of certain confidential and proprietary information relating
to the business and operations of SPAC from or on behalf of the SPAC (the “Disclosing
Party”), including reports, financial information, trade secrets, and other business
or operational information (the “Confidential Information”), regardless
of whether such information is designated as “confidential information” at the
time of its disclosure. |
|
“Confidential Information” shall include all
information (whether oral or written, electronic, or otherwise), regardless of the form in which it is provided or maintained and
whether prepared by the Disclosing Party, its representatives or otherwise, relating to the SPAC that is Consultant furnished or
has been furnished to Consultant by or on behalf of SPAC prior to, on or after the date of this Agreement, and all notes, analyses,
compilations, forecasts, studies or other documents prepared by Consultant that contain, reflect or are based on such information. |
|
“Confidential Information” does not include
any information that (i) was publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement or hereafter becomes publicly available
without any violation of this Agreement on the part of Consultant or any of its representatives, (ii) is or becomes available
to Consultant or any of its representatives on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to Consultant or any of its representatives
by the Disclosing Party or any of its representatives, provided that the source of such information was not, to Consultant’s
knowledge, subject to any legally binding obligation to keep such information confidential, (iii) is or becomes available to
Consultant or any of its representatives on a non-confidential basis from a person other than the Disclosing Party or its representatives
who to Consultant’s knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, is not subject to any legally binding obligation to keep such information
confidential or (iv) was or is independently developed by Consultant or any of its representatives without reference to the
Confidential Information. |
4.3. | Consultant
agrees that the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information will be kept confidential
and, except to the extent required by law or as expressly permitted by the Disclosing Party,
will not be disclosed, in whole or in part, by Consultant or any of its representatives to
any person other than those Consultant representatives who need to know such Confidential
Information for the purpose of assisting Consultant in supporting the Transaction. |
|
Consultant shall direct its representatives to comply with
the applicable terms of this Agreement regarding the Confidential Information to the fullest extent as if they were parties hereto,
and Consultant shall be responsible for any breach of the applicable terms of this Agreement regarding Confidential Information by
it or any of its representatives. |
|
|
|
Consultant shall, and shall cause its representatives to,
safeguard the Confidential Information in the same manner and with the same level of care (but no less than reasonable care) that
Consultant uses in safeguarding and handling its own confidential and proprietary information. |
4.4. | If
Consultant is requested or required, in connection with any proceeding by or before a governmental
authority, to disclose any Confidential Information, if not prohibited by the governmental
authority, Consultant will give SPAC prompt written notice of such request or requirement
so that SPAC may seek an appropriate order or other remedy protecting the Confidential Information
from disclosure, and Consultant will reasonably cooperate with SPAC (at SPAC’s expense)
to obtain such protective order or other remedy. |
4.5. | Promptly
upon the Disclosing Party’s request, Consultant shall, at its option, return or destroy
all Confidential Information and destroy or permanently erase (to the extent technically
practicable) all copies of Confidential Information made by Consultant and use reasonable
endeavors to ensure that anyone to whom Consultant has supplied any Confidential Information
destroys or permanently erases (to the extent technically practicable) such Confidential
Information and any copies made save to the extent required to be retained by applicable
law, rule or regulation or by any competent judicial, governmental, supervisory or regulatory
body. |
4.6. | Consultant
acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of the undertakings
regarding the Confidential Information by Consultant and, in addition to all other remedies
available under applicable law, SPAC shall be entitled to seek specific performance and to
injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. |
V. TERMINATION
5.1. |
This Agreement will terminate upon the full payment of the Fee to Consultant; provided that Article IV
and Article VI of the Agreement shall survive any such termination. |
VI. MISCELLANEOUS
6.1. | This
Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties hereto and supersedes
all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings among the Parties, both written
and oral, including, without limitation any previous consulting agreements and understandings,
by and between SPAC, represented by Dr. Cornelius Boersch, and Seed & Foster
GmbH, represented by Robert Bukvic. |
6.2. | Modifications
and amendments to this Agreement must be made in writing and signed by the Parties. This
provision on the reservation regarding form applies in particular to a waiver of the requirement
in writing, unless the applicable law provides for a stricter formal requirement. |
6.3. | If any provisions of this Agreement shall be or become illegal, void
or be held invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the legality, validity, and enforceability
of all other provisions shall not be affected. Such illegal, void, invalid or unenforceable provision
shall be replaced by a new, legally permissible provision which that comes as close as possible to
the ineffective or void provision in terms of its economic significance and effect. |
6.4. | Neither
Party may assign, in whole or in part, or delegate all or any part of its rights,
interests or obligations under this Agreement to any person without the prior written approval
of the other Party. Any assignment or delegation made without such approval shall be null
and void. |
6.5. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Consultant hereby
agrees (i) that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind to, or to any
monies in, the SPAC’s trust account established in connection with the SPAC’s initial public
offering for the benefit of the SPAC’s public stockholders and described in the final prospectus
of the SPAC, dated November 5, 2021, relating to such initial public offering (such trust account,
the “Trust Account”) (each such right, title, interest or claim, a “Claim”),
(ii) to waive any Claim it may have in the future to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account and
(iii) not to seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. Notwithstanding
the above, it is hereby agreed that the provisions of this Section 6.5 shall not apply
to any monies transferred from the Trust Account to the Combined Entity at or following the closing

6.8. | This Agreement, including and validity, as well as its interpretation,

[FORM OF BACKSTOP AGREEMENT]
SCHEDULE I
BACKSTOP
AGREEMENT
This
Backstop Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of [●], 2023, by and among LIBERO Football
Finance AG (“LIBERO”), Mountain & Co. I Sponsor LLC (“Sponsor”) and [redacted]
(the “Guarantor”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS,
LIBERO has agreed to enter into those certain Shares Sale and Purchase Agreements, dated as of August 11, 2023, pursuant to which,

below) (the “Signing Payment Date”) and (ii) LIBERO has agreed to acquire a certain number of Bridgeburg Shares in
exchange for a payment of EUR 40 million (the “Secondary Payment Amount” and, together with the Signing Payment Amount,
the “Total Payment Amounts”) at a later date, which such date shall be at or prior to the Closing Date (as such term
is defined in the BCA) (the “Secondary Payment Date”);
WHEREAS,
on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Guarantor agrees to guarantee the payment of the remaining balance of the
Total Payment Amounts (if any) that has not been paid by LIBERO in respect of the Secondary Payment Amount to Barça Produccions
S.L. (the “Target”) by the Secondary Payment Date (collectively, the “Backstop Commitment”); and
WHEREAS,
the parties hereto agree that the Guarantor’s acquisition of any Bridgeburg Shares in connection with the Backstop Commitment shall
be documented in one or more Shares Sale and Purchase Agreement(s) to be entered into by and among LIBERO, Mountain & Co. I Acquisition
Corp. (“Mountain”), the Guarantor and other applicable parties, as applicable, on mutually agreeable terms (the “New
SPA(s)”).
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and mutual covenants contained in this Agreement,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
| a. | To
the extent that the sum of the payments made to the Target on or prior to the Secondary Payment
Date by LIBERO in respect of the Total Payment Amounts is less than the Secondary Payment
Amount (a “Funding Amount Shortfall”), the Guarantor agrees to pay any
Funding Amount Shortfall to LIBERO in exchange for a certain number of Bridgeburg Shares
on the terms and conditions set forth in the New SPA(s).1 |
| b. | If
LIBERO becomes aware that a Funding Amount Shortfall will occur, LIBERO shall deliver a written

below) prior to the Secondary Payment Date to the Guarantor in accordance with Section 5(a)
setting forth (i) the applicable Funding Amount Shortfall and (ii) LIBERO’s
wire instructions. |
| c. | Within
four Business Days of receipt of a Funding Notice, the Guarantor shall pay any Funding Amount
Shortfall to LIBERO in exchange for a certain number of Bridgeburg Shares on the terms and
conditions set forth in the New SPA(s) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the account specified by LIBERO in the Funding Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term “Business Day” means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which
commercial banks in New York, New York, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, George Town, Cayman Islands
and Barcelona, Spain are open for the general transaction of business. |
| d. | The
parties hereto agree that the Backstop Commitment shall not be effective (and the Guarantor
shall not be obligated to fund pursuant to the terms hereof) unless and until Mountain and
the Target enter into a definitive agreement providing for and publicly announce a business
combination between or among Mountain, the Target and/or their respective Affiliates (the
“BCA”). |
|
In exchange and consideration for the Guarantor’s
Backstop Commitment, Sponsor shall transfer 1,000,000 Sponsor Warrants to the Guarantor and 1,000,000 Sponsor Warrants to PRIMARY
metaverse d.o.o., Trg žrtava fašizma 1, Zagreb, Croatia, Company ID number 70639041012 upon and immediately following

per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2021, between Mountain and
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee. |
|
This Agreement terminates automatically by expiration upon the receipt of payment
in full of the Total Payment Amounts by LIBERO. |
| 1 | In
the event that Futbol Club Barcelona were to accept the payment of the Signing Payment Amount
at a date subsequent to the Signing Payment Date, the Backstop Commitment will be extended
to the Total Payment Amounts, and the terms of this Agreement also will apply to the Signing
Payment Amount due on the Signing Payment Date, mutatis mutandis. |

| c. | Successors. All of
the terms, agreements, covenants, representations, warranties, and conditions of this Agreement

and their respective successors. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended
to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and
assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement. |
| d. | Assignments. Except as
otherwise specifically provided herein, no party hereto may assign either this Agreement
or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval
of each other party hereto. |
| e. | Third
Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor
may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person, other than PRIMARY metaverse d.o.o. |
| f. | Further
Assurances. The parties hereto agree to execute and deliver such other documents,
certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be necessary
or desirable in order to consummate or implement the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. |
| g. | Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but
all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. |
| h. | Headings. The section headings
contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any
way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. |
| i. | Governing Law. This Agreement,
the entire relationship of the parties hereto, and any litigation between the parties (whether
grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance
with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of Spain, without giving effect to its choice
of laws principles. |
| j. | Jurisdiction. The parties
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submit to the jurisdiction of Spain for the
purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement,
(ii) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based
upon this Agreement except in Spain, and (iii) waive, and agree not to assert, by way
of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim
that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its
property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding
is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is
improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by
such court. |
| k. | WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE
PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION PURSUANT
TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. |
| l. | Amendments. This Agreement
may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except with the prior
written consent of the parties hereto. |
| m. | Severability. The provisions
of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof;
provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any party hereto or
to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not
to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the parties hereto agree that the governmental
authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify
the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or
to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be
enforceable and will be enforced. |
| n. | Expenses. Each of the parties
hereto will bear its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation,
execution and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, including all fees and expenses of agents, representatives, financial advisors, legal
counsel and accountants. |
| o. | Construction. The parties
hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an
ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed
as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof will arise
favoring or disfavoring any party hereto because of the authorship of any provision of this
Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also
to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless
the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,”
and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.”
Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other
gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa,
unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,”
“hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar
import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly
so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained
herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation,
warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another
representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the
relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract
from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation,
warranty, or covenant. |
| p. | Waiver. No waiver by any
party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder,
whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation,
or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because
of any prior or subsequent occurrence. |
| q. | Specific Performance. The
Guarantor agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement
was not performed by the Guarantor in accordance with the terms hereof and that Sponsor and
LIBERO shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to
any other remedy at law or equity. |
