As used in this Section 4.6, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner permitted by SEC rules and regulations in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC.

(c)            As of the date of this Agreement, the SPAC Units, the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and the SPAC Warrants are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “YORKU,” “YORK” and “YORKW,” respectively.

Since the IPO, SPAC has complied in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of Nasdaq. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of SPAC, threatened against SPAC, by Nasdaq or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister or terminate the listing of the SPAC Units, the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares or the SPAC Warrants.

(d)            The financial statements and notes of SPAC contained or incorporated by reference in the SEC Reports and audited in conformity with GAAP in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB (the “SPAC Financials”), fairly present in all material respects the financial position and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of SPAC at the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such financial statements, all in accordance with (i) GAAP methodologies applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved and (ii) Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto and for the omission of notes and audit adjustments in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable).

(g)            SPAC has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that material information relating to SPAC and other material information required to be disclosed by SPAC in the reports and other documents that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material information is accumulated and communicated to SPAC’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting SPAC’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to material information required to be included in SPAC’s periodic reports required under the Exchange Act.

(h)            SPAC maintains systems of internal accounting controls that are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including policies and procedures that are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance: (i) that SPAC maintains records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect, in all material respects, its transactions and dispositions of assets; (ii) that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) that transactions are executed, and access to assets is permitted, in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) that the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

In the event any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority or private Person challenging the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any Ancillary Document, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such Action and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents.

(d)            Prior to the Closing, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Consents of Governmental Authorities or other third Persons as may be necessary for the consummation by such Party or its Affiliates of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement or required as a result of the execution or performance of, or consummation of the Transactions contemplated by, this Agreement by such Party or its Affiliates, and the other Parties shall provide reasonable cooperation in connection with such efforts.

If the SEC or any other Governmental Authority requests or requires that an opinion be provided on or prior to the Closing in respect of the Intended Tax Treatment, SPAC will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Tax advisors to provide any such opinion, subject to customary assumptions and limitations, and each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to reasonably cooperate with one another and their respective Tax advisors with respect to such opinion, including using reasonable best efforts to deliver to the relevant counsel certificates (dated as of the necessary date and signed by such Party or its Affiliate, as applicable) containing such customary representations as are necessary or appropriate for such counsel to render such opinion.

7.12          Further Assurances.

The Sellers shall provide SPAC with such information concerning the Asset Companies, the Sellers and their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees, assets, Liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), business and operations that may be reasonably required or appropriate for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, which information provided by the Sellers shall be true and correct and not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The Sellers shall promptly correct any information provided by them for use in the Registration Statement (and other related materials) if and to the extent that such information is determined by the applicable Seller to have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws.

(b)            SPAC shall take any and all reasonable and necessary actions required to satisfy the requirements of the SPAC Organizational Documents, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws in connection with the Registration Statement, the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption.

Each Party shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement (and other related materials) if and to the extent that such information is determined to have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. SPAC shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and cause the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the SPAC Shareholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Organizational Documents of SPAC.

(c)            SPAC, with the assistance of the other Parties, shall promptly respond to any SEC comments on the Registration Statement and shall otherwise use its reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to “clear” comments from the SEC and become effective. SPAC shall provide the Sellers with copies of any written comments, and shall inform the Sellers of any material oral comments that SPAC or its Representatives receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement, the Extraordinary General Meeting or the Redemption promptly after the receipt of such comments and shall give the Sellers and their respective Representatives a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to review and comment on any proposed written or material oral responses to such comments, including to the extent possible, participation by the Sellers or their counsel in discussions with the SEC.

(d)            As soon as practicable following the Registration Statement “clearing” comments from the SEC and becoming effective, SPAC shall set a record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting and distribute the Registration Statement to the SPAC Shareholders and, pursuant thereto, shall call and convene the Extraordinary General Meeting for a date no later than thirty (30) days following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. SPAC shall, through the SPAC Board, recommend to the SPAC Shareholders the approval of the SPAC Shareholder Approval Matters and include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement, with such changes as may be mutually agreed by the Parties. The SPAC Board shall not change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify its recommendation to the SPAC Shareholders that they vote in favor of the SPAC Shareholder Approval Matters (a “Modification in Recommendation”).

(e)            SPAC shall comply with all applicable Laws, any applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq, the Organizational Documents of SPAC and this Agreement in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Registration Statement, any solicitation of proxies thereunder, the setting of the record date for, and the calling and holding of, the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption.

Article IX
TERMINATION AND EXPENSES

9.1            Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing as follows:

(a)            by mutual written consent of the Parties;

(b)            by written notice to the other Parties by any Party if any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VIII have not been satisfied or waived by the date that is one (1) year from the date of this Agreement (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to a Party if the breach or violation by such Party or its Affiliates of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement was the primary cause of, or directly resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date;

(c)            by written notice to the other Parties by any Party if a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Order or other action has become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) shall not be available to a Party if the failure by such Party or its Affiliates to comply with any provision of this Agreement has been a substantial cause of, or substantially resulted in, such action by such Governmental Authority;

(d)            by written notice by Crypto.com or TMTG to the other Parties, if (i) there has been a material breach by SPAC of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of SPAC shall have become materially untrue or materially inaccurate, in any case, which would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b) to be satisfied (treating the Closing Date for such purposes as the date of this Agreement or, if later, the date of such breach), and (ii) the breach or inaccuracy is incapable of being cured or is not cured within the earlier of (A) 20 days after written notice of such breach or inaccuracy is provided to SPAC by the Sellers or (B) five Business Days prior to the Outside Date; provided that the Sellers shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) if at such time the either Seller is in material uncured breach of this Agreement;

(f)            by written notice by SPAC to the Sellers, if (i) there has been a material breach by either Seller of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of such Parties shall have become materially untrue or materially inaccurate, in any case, which would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b) to be satisfied (treating the Closing Date for such purposes as the date of this Agreement or, if later, the date of such breach), and (ii) the breach or inaccuracy is incapable of being cured or is not cured within the earlier of (A) 20 days after written notice of such breach or inaccuracy is provided to the Sellers by SPAC or (B) five Business Days prior to the Outside Date; provided that SPAC shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(f) if at such time SPAC is in material uncured breach of this Agreement; or

9.2            Effect of Termination. This Agreement may only be terminated in the circumstances described in Section 9.1 and pursuant to a written notice delivered by the applicable Party to the other applicable Parties, which sets forth the basis for such termination, including the provision of Section 9.1 under which such termination is made. In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no Liability on the part of any Party or any of their respective Representatives, and all rights and obligations of each Party shall cease, except: (i) Sections 7.14, 7.15, 10.1, Article XI and this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from Liability for any willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement or any Fraud Claim against such Party, in either case, prior to termination of this Agreement (in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, subject to Section 10.1). Without limiting the foregoing, and except as provided in Section 11.5 and this Section 9.2 (but subject to Section 10.1, and subject to the right to seek injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief in accordance with Section 11.7), the Parties’ sole right prior to the Closing with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement by another Party or with respect to the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be the right, if applicable, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1.

Article X
WAIVERS AND RELEASES

10.1          Waiver of Claims Against Trust. The Sellers hereby represent and warrant that they have read the IPO Prospectus and understand that SPAC has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the holders of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issued and sold as part of the SPAC Units in the IPO (the “Public Shareholders”) and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of its initial Business Combination or in connection with an amendment to the SPAC Memorandum and Articles to extend SPAC’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination or with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, (b) to the Public Shareholders if SPAC fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty four (24) months after the closing of the IPO, subject to further extension by amendment to the SPAC Memorandum and Articles, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, as necessary to pay any income taxes, and (d) to SPAC after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Sellers hereby agree on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, that none of the Sellers nor any of their respective Affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). The Sellers on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates hereby irrevocably waive any Released Claims that any such Party or any of its Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements hereunder and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with SPAC or its Affiliates). The Sellers each agree and acknowledge that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by SPAC to induce SPAC to enter in this Agreement, and the Sellers each further intend and understand such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against such Party and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Trust Account, each such Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Party’s and its Affiliates’ sole remedy with respect to monetary relief shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit such Party or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on any of their behalf or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. Nothing in this Section 10.1 shall amend, limit, alter, change, supersede or otherwise modify the right of the Sellers to (a) bring any action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief or (b) bring or seek a claim for damages against SPAC, or any of its successors or assigns, for any breach of this Agreement (but such claim shall not be against the Trust Account or any funds distributed from the Trust Account). This Section 10.1 shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

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

Article XI

11.4          Third Parties.

11.6          Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)            Subject to Section 11.6(b), this Agreement and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the conflict of Laws principles or rules thereof to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.

(b)            Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions must be brought in the 12th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida in Sarasota, Florida, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, and each Party irrevocably (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, (ii) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, (iii) agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and (iv) agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any other court.

11.7          Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the Transactions contemplated hereby are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money damages would be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties would not have an adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

11.9          Amendment. Subject to the provisions of applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by each of SPAC, Sponsor and the Sellers.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party or Parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

11.11        Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents or instruments referred to herein, including any Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules, which Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules are incorporated herein by reference, together with the Ancillary Documents, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings, other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein or the documents or instruments referred to herein, which collectively supersede all prior agreements and the understandings among the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for the purposes of the attorney-client privilege, Sponsor shall be deemed the client of DLA Piper or Harneys with respect to the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents.
