Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Company Ordinary Shares or SPAC Ordinary Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then any number or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of Company Ordinary Shares or SPAC Ordinary Shares, as applicable, will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the SPAC Shareholder and the Company Shareholders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

 

(i) No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. The Closing Date Share Merger Consideration issued or issuable in respect of Company Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued or issuable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Ordinary Shares, and from and after the Effective Time, no holder of Company Ordinary Shares shall have any ownership right in the Company.

No interest shall be paid or shall accrue upon any Pubco Ordinary Shares due to any Company Shareholder.

 

(c) If any portion of the Closing Date Share Merger Consideration is to be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable Company Ordinary Shares are registered, it shall be a condition to such issuance that (i) Pubco be provided with reasonable evidence of the transfer of such Company Ordinary Shares to such Person, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to Pubco any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such issuance to a Person other than the registered holder of such Company Ordinary Shares or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Pubco that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

Pubco, SPAC and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) give, or cause the applicable withholding agent to give, advance written notice to the Shareholders’ Representative and the SPAC Shareholders of the intention to make any such deduction or withholding (except in the case of any withholding required as a result of a failure to deliver the certificate described in Section 4.03(b), any withholding required as a result of a failure to deliver an applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 that has been requested by Pubco, SPAC, the Company or any applicable withholding agent, or any withholding on compensatory payments made in connection with this Agreement) which notice shall include the basis for the proposed deduction or withholding, and (b) provide the relevant Company Shareholders and the SPAC Shareholders with a reasonable opportunity to provide forms or other evidence that would exempt such amounts from such deduction or withholding under applicable Law. Any amounts so withheld shall be timely and properly paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority by Pubco, SPAC, the Company or the applicable withholding agent. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

 

Section 4.05 Company Dissenters Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 4.01(a), Company Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Company Excluded Shares) and held by a Company Shareholder (each a “Company Dissenting Shareholder”) who has validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or otherwise lost their rights to dissent from the Acquisition Merger in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Company Dissenting Shares” until such time as such Company Dissenting Shareholder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such Company Dissenting Shareholder’s dissenter’s rights under Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Closing Date Share Merger Consideration, but instead such Company Dissenting Shares shall be automatically canceled and cease to exist by virtue of the Acquisition Merger and shall thereafter represent only the right of the holder thereof to be paid the fair value of such Company Dissenting Shares and such other rights as are granted by the Cayman Companies Act (but, for avoidance of doubt, Company Dissenting Shares shall be included as applicable in the calculation of Pro Rata Portion); provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such Company Dissenting Shareholder fails to perfect or prosecute or otherwise waives, effectively withdraws or loses such Company Shareholder’s dissenter’s right pursuant to the Cayman Companies Act or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such Company Dissenting Shareholder is not entitled to the relief provided by the Cayman Companies Act, such shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the allocable portion of the Closing Date Share Merger Consideration, if any, to which such Company Dissenting Shareholder is entitled pursuant to Section 4.01(a), without interest thereon. Company shall provide SPAC prompt written notice of any notices of objection or demands for appraisal of Company Ordinary Shares received by the Company, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the applicable Laws that relates to such demand, and SPAC shall be consulted with respect to all material negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demand (and promptly notified of all other negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demand). After the Closing, Pubco shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands but shall meaningfully consult with the Company and the Shareholders’ Representative with respect thereto. Prior to the Closing, except with the prior written consent of SPAC, Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Company of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Company incurs material impairment of material rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the SPAC Indemnitee shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, to the extent such amount can be reasonably estimated at such time, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the SPAC Indemnitee. The Company shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The SPAC Indemnitee shall allow the Company and its Representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim, and the SPAC Indemnitee shall assist the Company’s investigation by giving such information and assistance as the Company or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Company does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, then the Company shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the SPAC Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the SPAC Indemnitee on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 11.06 Determination of Loss. Once a Loss required to be paid in cash is agreed to by the Company or adjudicated (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable judgment) to be payable in cash by the Company pursuant to this ARTICLE XI, the Company shall deposit, or cause to be deposited with the applicable SPAC Indemnitee, the amount of such Loss to be satisfied in cash pursuant hereto by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by SPAC in writing. The parties hereto agree that should the Company not make the full cash payment within ten (10) days of such agreement or adjudication, as applicable, any amount payable shall accrue interest from the date of agreement of the Company or adjudication to the date such payment has been made at the Interest Rate.

 

Section 11.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The parties agree that all indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the aggregate Transaction consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

Section 11.08 Exclusive Remedy. Except as provided in ARTICLE VI or Section 12.07, the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the SPAC Indemnitees following the Closing for any and all breaches or alleged breaches by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, or any other provision of this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 11.08 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 12.07 or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s willful misconduct or Fraud.

 

Section 11.09 Escrow of Escrow Shares by Escrow Participants. The Company hereby authorizes the Pubco to deliver the Escrow Shares into escrow (the “Escrow Fund”) pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. For purposes of this Article XI, the Escrow Shares are valued at $10.00 per share of Pubco Ordinary Shares (the “Escrow Share Value”).

 

(a) Escrow Shares; Payment of Dividends; Voting. Any dividends, interest payments, or other distributions of any kind made in respect of the Escrow Shares will be delivered promptly to the Escrow Agent to be held in escrow (the “Escrow Income”). The Escrow Participants shall be entitled to vote such Escrow Participants’ Escrow Shares on any matters to come before the shareholders of the Pubco. It is intended that for U.S. federal income tax purposes that while the Escrow Shares are held by the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Participants shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Shares, and to the extent required by Law, the Escrow Agent shall report in a manner consistent with such treatment.

 

(b) Distribution of Escrow Shares. At the times provided for in Section 11.09(d), the Escrow Shares shall be distributed to the Escrow Participants. Pubco will take such action as may be necessary to cause such certificates to be issued in the names of the appropriate persons. Certificates representing Escrow Shares so issued that are subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws will bear a legend to that effect. No fractional shares shall be released and delivered from the Escrow Fund and all fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

 

(c) Assignability. Other than for estate planning purposes, no Escrow Shares or any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, sold, assigned or transferred, including by operation of law, by the Escrow Participants or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of the Escrow Participants, prior to the delivery to such Escrow Participants of the Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent as provided herein.

 

 
 

 

(d) Release from Escrow Fund. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days, following expiration of the Survival Period (the “Release Date”), the Escrow Shares will be released from escrow to the Escrow Participants less the number of Escrow Shares (at an assumed value equal to the Escrow Share Value per Escrow Share) reasonably necessary to serve as security for Losses set forth in any Indemnification Notice delivered by the SPAC Indemnitees prior to the expiration of the Survival Period that remain pending and unresolved. Prior to the Release Date, the Shareholders’ Representative and the SPAC shall jointly issue to the Escrow Agent a certificate executed by each of them instructing the Escrow Agent to release such number of Indemnification Escrow Shares determined in accordance with this Section 10.3(d). Promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days, following the resolution in accordance with the provisions of this Article X of any claim(s) for indemnification that remain unresolved as of the Release Date the Shareholders’ Representative and the SPAC shall jointly issue to the Escrow Agent a certificate executed by each of them instructing the Escrow Agent to release to the Escrow Participants the number of Escrow Shares retained in escrow following the resolution of such claim(s) and not released to SPAC.

 

11.10 Payment of Indemnification. In the event that any SPAC Indemnitee is entitled to any indemnification for any Losses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall make or cause to be made the indemnification payment by (i) delivering a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares from the Escrow Shares (at an assumed value equal to the Escrow Share Value per Escrow Share) to such SPAC Indemnitee, and (2) causing Mingfeng Shi and Xingwei Xue to deliver a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the remaining portion of the indemnification for any Loss, if applicable, to such SPAC Indemnitee, in each case, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XI. Any payments to SPAC Indemnitees from the Escrow Shares pursuant to this Section 11.10 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Closing Date Share Merger Consideration payable to the Escrow Participants for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 12.03 Amendment; Modification and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived if, and only if, such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment or modification, by SPAC and the Shareholders’ Representative, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, however, that after the adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Company Shareholder Approval, no amendment shall be made that by Law requires further approval by the Company Shareholders without obtaining such requisite approval under the Cayman Companies Act, except to the extent the approval of the Company Shareholders can be given by the Shareholders’ Representative under applicable Law. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

 

Section 12.04 Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under it may be directly or indirectly assigned, delegated, sublicensed or transferred by any of the parties, in whole or in part, to any other Person (including any bankruptcy trustee) by operation of law or otherwise, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempted or purported assignment in violation of this Section 12.04 will be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by each of the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and assigns (including, with respect to any trust, any additional or successor trustees of any such trust).

 

 
 

 

Section 12.05 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities upon any Person other than the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns; provided, however, that the provisions of ARTICLE XI are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Covered Person and each SPAC Covered Person, as applicable, and each such Person’s heirs, legatees, representatives, successors and assigns, it being expressly agreed that such Persons shall be third-party beneficiaries of such sections.

 

Section 12.06 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

 

(a) This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution and delivery 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) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without regard to its applicable principles of conflicts of laws that might require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

 

(b) Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue within the State of New York (“New York Courts”), and any appellate court from any decision thereof, in any Action that may be based upon, arise of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution and delivery or performance of this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of any such Action shall be heard and determined in the New York Courts, (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution and delivery or performance of this Agreement in the New York Courts, including any objection based on its place of incorporation or domicile, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action in any such court and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. Each of the parties consents and agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document for any action permitted hereunder may be delivered by registered mail addressed to it at the applicable address set forth in Section 12.02 or in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

 

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY DISPUTE BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY THEREOF OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NONE OF THE OTHER PARTIES NOR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS HAVE REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTIES WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS OF THIS Section 12.06(c). ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

 
 

 

Section 12.07 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached or threatened to be breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such failure to perform or breach. It is accordingly agreed that without posting bond or other undertaking, the parties shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any such action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party will allege, and each party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. The parties further agree that (a) by seeking any remedy provided for in this Section 12.07, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such party under this Agreement and (b) nothing contained in this Section 12.07 shall require any party to institute any action for (or limit such party’s right to institute any action for) specific performance under this Section 12.07 before exercising any other right under this Agreement. If, prior to the Outside Date, any party brings any Action in accordance with this Agreement to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof against any other party, the Outside Date shall be automatically extended (i) for the period during which such Action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days or (ii) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action on good cause shown, as the case may be.

 

Section 12.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement, and may be delivered by facsimile or other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic or pictorial appearance of a document.

 

Section 12.09 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is found by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, (a) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction and (b) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would be enforceable.

 

Section 12.10 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, all the SPAC Transaction Expenses shall be borne by SPAC, and all the Company Transaction Expenses shall be borne by the applicable Company Party; provided, however, that if the Closing occurs, each party’s direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the SPAC Transaction Expenses and the Company Transaction Expenses, will be paid from the capital of Pubco.

 

 
 

 

Section 12.11 Shareholders’ Representative.

 

(a) In addition to the other rights and authority granted to the Shareholders’ Representative elsewhere in this Agreement and except as expressly provided herein, by participating in the execution and delivery of this Agreement and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Company Shareholder (which, for the purpose of this Section 12.11, shall also mean each Company Shareholder) hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints Shareholders’ Representative as agent, attorney-in-fact and representative to act for and on behalf of such Company Shareholder regarding any matter under this Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of such Company Shareholder and to act on behalf of such Company Shareholder with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, including in any amendment of or dispute, litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as the Shareholders’ Representative shall determine to be necessary or appropriate in conjunction with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This power of attorney and all authority hereby conferred is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and shall not terminate or otherwise be affected by the death, disability, incompetence, bankruptcy or insolvency of any Company Shareholder. Except as expressly provided herein, no Company Shareholder shall directly have the right to exercise any right hereunder, it being understood and agreed that all such rights shall only be permitted to be exercised by the Shareholders’ Representative on behalf of the Company Shareholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Shareholders’ Representative has full power and authority, on behalf of each Company Shareholder and such Company Shareholder’s successors and assigns, to: (i) interpret the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the documents to be executed and delivered by the Company Shareholders in connection herewith, (ii) execute and deliver and receive deliveries of all agreements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments, and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement, (iv) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, assume the defense of Third-Party Claims, prosecute and defend claims for indemnification under ARTICLE XI and comply with orders of courts with respect to such claims, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, (v) give and receive notices and communications, (viii) assert the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Company Shareholders with respect to any communications that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated hereby, (ix) deliver to SPAC any and all Ancillary Agreements executed by the Company Shareholders and deposited with the Shareholders’ Representative, upon the Shareholders’ Representative’s determination that the conditions to Closing have been satisfied or waived and (x) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Representative on behalf of the Company Shareholders in connection with this Agreement.

 

(b) Service by the Shareholders’ Representative shall be without compensation except for the reimbursement by the Company Shareholders of out-of-pocket expenses and indemnification specifically provided herein.

 

(c) Notwithstanding Section 12.11(a), if the Shareholders’ Representative believes that he or she requires further authorization or advice from any Company Shareholder on any matters concerning this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby, the Shareholders’ Representative will be entitled, but not obligated, to seek such further authorization solely from such Company Shareholder.

 

(d) From and after the date hereof, but except as expressly provided herein, each of SPAC and the Company is entitled to deal exclusively with the Shareholders’ Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Representative constitutes a decision of all the Company Shareholders in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Such decision, act, consent or instruction is final, binding and conclusive upon each Company Shareholder, and each of SPAC and the Company shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Company Shareholder by the Shareholders’ Representative, and on any other decision, act, consent or instruction taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Company Shareholder by the Shareholders’ Representative, as being fully binding upon such Person. Notices or communications to or from the Shareholders’ Representative will constitute notice to or from each Company Shareholder.

 

(e) The Shareholders’ Representative may resign at any time, and may appoint a new Shareholders’ Representative to act in his or her stead, and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of the Company Shareholders holding a majority of the Company Ordinary Shares as of the date hereof; provided, however, in no event shall the Shareholders’ Representative be removed without the Company Shareholders holding a majority of the Company Ordinary Shares having first appointed a new Shareholders’ Representative who shall assume such duties immediately upon the removal of the Shareholders’ Representative. In the event of the death, incapacity, or removal of the Shareholders’ Representative, a new Shareholders’ Representative shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of the Company Shareholders holding a majority of the Company Ordinary Shares as of the date hereof and a copy of the written consent or minutes appointing such new Shareholders’ Representative shall be sent to SPAC, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such notice is received by SPAC; provided that until such notice is received, SPAC and the Company shall be entitled to rely on the decisions and actions of the prior Shareholders’ Representative as described in this Section 12.11.

 

 
 

 

(f) The Shareholders’ Representative shall hold and be entitled to use the Shareholders’ Representative Fund, defined below, for the purposes of paying for, or reimbursing the Shareholders’ Representative for, any and all costs and expenses (including counsel and legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Shareholders’ Representative in connection with the protection, defense, enforcement or other exercise or fulfillment of any rights or obligations under this Agreement (collectively, the “Shareholders’ Representative Expenses”). The Shareholders’ Representative shall hold the Shareholders’ Representative Fund in a segregated bank account and shall not comingle it with any other funds (the “Representative Fund”). At such time as the Shareholders’ Representative deems appropriate, the Shareholders’ Representative shall distribute to the Company Shareholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Portion) the remaining Shareholders’ Representative Fund. The Shareholders’ Representative will be promptly reimbursed by the Company Shareholders (based on their respective Pro Rata Portion) for Shareholders’ Representative Expenses not covered by the Shareholders’ Representative Fund upon demand.

 

(g) The Company Shareholders, severally and not jointly (based on their Pro Rata Portion), agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholders’ Representative (in his or her capacity as such) for and from any Loss or Liability he or she may incur or be subject to as a result of his duties hereunder or any of his actions or inactions as such, except as may result from the Shareholders’ Representative’s actions that would constitute fraud or willful misconduct.

 

(h) The Shareholders’ Representative shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on behalf of any Company Shareholder shall otherwise exist against the Shareholders’ Representative. The Shareholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any Company Shareholder relating to the performance of the Shareholders’ Representative’s duties or exercise of any rights under this Agreement for any errors in judgment, negligence, oversight, breach of duty or otherwise except to the extent it is finally determined in a court of competent jurisdiction by clear and convincing evidence that the actions taken or not taken by the Shareholders’ Representative constituted actual fraud or were taken or not taken in bad faith. The Shareholders’ Representative shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company Shareholders against all losses, including costs of defense, paid or incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or claim to which the Shareholders’ Representative is made a party by reason of the fact that the Shareholders’ Representative was acting as the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Shareholders’ Representative shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder to the extent it is finally determined in a court of competent jurisdiction by clear and convincing evidence that the actions taken or not taken by the Shareholders’ Representative constituted actual fraud or were taken or not taken in bad faith. The Shareholders’ Representative shall be protected in acting upon any notice, statement or certificate believed by the Shareholders’ Representative to be genuine and to have been furnished by the appropriate Person and in acting or refusing to act in good faith on any matter. The Shareholders’ Representative, solely in his capacity as such, shall not be liable to SPAC or any Affiliate of SPAC by reason of this Agreement or the performance of the Shareholders’ Representative’s duties hereunder or otherwise. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Shareholders’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 12.12 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Company Shareholder and the Company acknowledge and agree, both for themselves and their respective Shareholders and Affiliates, that no recourse under, based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any documents or agreements referenced herein may be had by any of them against any Affiliate of SPAC not a party to such document or agreement, any other Person or any such Affiliate’s or other Person’s respective direct or indirect former, current or future, Affiliates, general or limited partners, Shareholders, controlling persons, equityholders, managers, managing companies, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, Representatives, advisers, successors or assigns, actual or prospective financing sources or arrangers, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law.

 

Section 12.13 Company Disclosure Schedule.

 

(a) The “Company Disclosure Schedule” means the disclosure schedules delivered by the Company to SPAC and accepted by SPAC on the date hereof in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (and as the same may be modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof).

 

(b) It is specifically acknowledged that the Company Disclosure Schedule may expressly provide exceptions to a particular Section of ARTICLE V notwithstanding that the Section does not state “except as set forth in Section ‘__’ of the Company Disclosure Schedule” or words of similar effect.

 

 
 

 

(c) Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Company Disclosure Schedule is intended to vary the definition of “Company Material Adverse Effect” or to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Company Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business.

 

(d) Each Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule is qualified in its entirety by reference to specific provisions of this Agreement and does not constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations, warranties or covenants of any party, except as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. Certain matters set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule are included for informational purposes only notwithstanding that, because they do not rise above applicable materiality thresholds or otherwise, they may not be required by the terms of this Agreement to be set forth herein. All attachments to the Company Disclosure Schedule are incorporated by reference into the Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule in which they are referenced.

 

Section 12.14 No Rescission. Following the Closing, no party shall be entitled to rescind the transactions contemplated hereby by virtue of any failure of any party’s representations and warranties herein to have been true or any failure by any party to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 12.15 Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the SPAC Prospectus. Each Company Party acknowledges and agrees and understands that SPAC has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from a private placement occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of SPAC’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by SPAC’s underwriters, the “Public Stockholders”), and SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the SPAC Prospectus. 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, each Company Party hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company Parties nor any of its Representatives does 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 proposed or actual business relationship between SPAC or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and, the Company Parties or any of their Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Trust Account Released Claims”). Each Company Party, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its respective Representatives 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, or Contracts with SPAC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with SPAC or its Affiliates). For the avoidance of doubt, (a) nothing in this Section 12.15 shall serve to limit or prohibit any Company Party’s right to pursue a claim (including for fraud) against SPAC for legal relief against monies or other assets of SPAC held outside the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the Transaction (including a claim for SPAC to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to any exercise of the SPAC Shareholder Redemption Right by any SPAC Shareholder) to SPAC in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) and (b) nothing in this Section 12.15 shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that a Company Party may have in the future against SPAC’s (or its successors’) assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds, in each case following Closing). This Section 12.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

A. SPAC, the Company, Pubco and XXW Investment Limited as the Company shareholders’ representative (the “Shareholders’ Representative”), among other parties, entered into business combination agreement dated as of October 22, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”).

 

B.The Holder is or will be the record and/or beneficial owner of certain Pubco Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

C. As a condition of, and as a material inducement for Company and SPAC to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Holder has agreed to execute and deliver this Agreement.

 

D. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meanings as assigned in the Merger Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1. Lock-Up.

 

(a) During the Lock-up Period, the Holder agrees that it, he or she will not (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, rights or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of or agree to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the Lock-up Shares (as defined below), or enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-up Shares or otherwise, (iii) engage in any Short Sales (as defined below) with respect to the Lock-up Shares, or (iv) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above is to be settled by delivery of Lock-up Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), a “Prohibited Transfer”).

 

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, during the Lock-up Period, the Pubco will (i) place an irrevocable stop order on all the Lock-up Shares, including those which may be covered by a registration statement, and (ii) notify the Pubco’s transfer agent in writing of the stop order and the restrictions on the Lock-up Shares under this Agreement and direct the Pubco’s transfer agent not to process any attempts by the Holder to resell or transfer any Lock-up Shares, except in compliance with this Agreement.

 

 
 

 

(c) For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-US broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

 

(d) The term “Lock-up Period” means the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

 

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned may transfer Lock-Up Shares in connection with (a) transfers or distributions to the Holder’s direct or indirect affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or to the estates of any of the foregoing; (b) transfers by bona fide gift to a member of the Holder’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is the Holder or a member of the Holder’s immediate family for estate planning purposes; (c) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of the Holder; (d) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (e) transfers pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, stock sale, recapitalization, consolidation or other transaction involving a change of control of Pubco; provided, however, that in the event that such tender offer, merger, recapitalization, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Lock-Up Shares subject to this Agreement shall remain subject to this Agreement, (f) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that such plan does not provide for or permit the transfer of Lock-up Shares during the Lock-Up Period and no public announcement or filing is voluntarily made or required regarding such plan during the Lock-up Period, (g) transfers to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the exercise of options to purchase shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares or the vesting of stock-based awards, provided, however, that all Pubco Ordinary Shares received upon such exercise or vesting or transfer will remain subject to the restrictions of this Agreement during the Lock-up Period; and (h) transfers in payment on a “net exercise” or “cashless” basis of the exercise or purchase price with respect to the exercise of options to purchase Pubco Ordinary Shares; provided, however, that, in the case of any transfer pursuant to the foregoing (a) through (d) clauses, it shall be a condition to any such transfer that (i) the transferee/donee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence) to the same extent as if the transferee/donee were a party hereto; and (ii) each party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall not be required by law (including without limitation the disclosure requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to make, and shall agree to not voluntarily make, any filing or public announcement of the transfer or disposition prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

 

(f) If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and Pubco shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Lock-up Shares as one of its equity holders for any purpose.

 

2
 

 

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

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF OCTOBER 22, 2024, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”), A CERTAIN REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ISSUER NAMED THEREIN AND THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN, AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

 

(h) For the avoidance of any doubt, Holder shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of Pubco with respect to the Lock-up Shares during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Lock-up Shares, but subject to the obligations under the Merger Agreement.

 

2. Beneficial Ownership. The Holder hereby represents and warrants that it does not beneficially own, directly or through its nominees (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), any Pubco Ordinary Shares, or any economic interest in or derivative of such shares, other than those Pubco Ordinary Shares issued or will be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Shares”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Upon the closing of the Business Combination, Pubco, the combined company, is expected to operate under the name of “Maius Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd.” and with a new trading symbol.
