NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Subscribers and the Issuer acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. Subscription and Collateral Account.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Equity Support Agreement, by the earlier of (A) five (5) business days after the Redemption Election Deadline and (B) two (2) business days before the anticipated Closing (as defined below), the Issuer will notify each Subscriber in writing of the number of the Equity Support Shares that it requires such Subscriber to purchase immediately prior to the Transaction Closing. In no event will the Total Shaolin Shares (as defined below) be greater than the number of Shares that would result in all the Subscribers, together with each person subject to aggregation of Issuer Ordinary Shares (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) (for the purposes of this Equity Support Agreement, the “Issuer Ordinary Shares”) with any of the Subscribers under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and rules promulgated thereunder, including any “group” of which any of the Subscribers or their affiliates are a part, directly or indirectly beneficially owning (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.9% of the outstanding Issuer Ordinary Shares immediately following the Transaction Closing (such excess, the “Maximum Ownership Adjustment”), and the Total Shaolin Shares will be reduced by the Maximum Ownership Adjustment pro rata across the Equity Support Shares of each Subscriber.

(ii) Each Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Issuer, at the Per Share Subscription Price, the number of the Equity Support Shares determined pursuant to this Section 1(ii), and the Issuer agrees to sell such Equity Support Shares to such Subscriber at the Per Share Subscription Price. The aggregate number of the Equity Support Shares for all Subscribers (the “Total Shaolin Shares”) shall be a number of Shares determined by the Issuer, not to exceed the lesser of (1) 5,000,000 and (2) the sum of (y) the number of Shares actually purchased or funded for purchase pursuant to the PIPE Investment (such Shares subscribed in the PIPE Investment, the “PIPE Shares”); and (z) fifty percent (50%) of any outstanding Shares that are not Redeeming SPAC Shares (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), provided that such Shares that are not Redeeming SPAC Shares are not the result of an Excluded Financing. For each Subscriber the number of its Equity Support Shares shall be a pro rata portion of the Total Shaolin Shares, based on the ratio that the Maximum Subscription Amount of such Subscriber bears to the Total Maximum Subscription Amount.

(iii) Substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Transaction, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited directly into the Collateral Account of each relevant Subscriber an amount of cash in USD equal to (1) the sum of (x) USD 10.40 multiplied by the number of First Period Subscriber Shares (as defined below), plus (y) USD 10.60 multiplied by the number of Second Period Subscriber Shares (as defined below), plus (z) USD 10.90 multiplied by the number of Third Period Subscriber Shares (as defined below) (items (x), (y) and (z) collectively, for each relevant Subscriber, the “Collateral Account Deposit”), minus (2) the Subscription Amount (as defined below).

2. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Equity Support Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the closing date (the “Closing Date”) and is expected to occur substantially concurrently with the Transaction Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Section 2 and in Section 3 below, upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) the Issuer to each Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”), that the Issuer reasonably expects all conditions to the Transaction Closing to be satisfied or waived on an expected Closing Date that is not less than ten (10) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Subscribers, each Subscriber shall deliver to the Collateral Account, on the expected Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the amount equal to (x) the number of its Equity Support Shares, multiplied by (y) the Per Share Subscription Price (as applicable to such Subscriber, the “Subscription Amount”) by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the Collateral Account; provided, that, as a condition to each Subscriber’s obligation to deliver the Subscription Amount to the Collateral Account, the Issuer shall have made (i) the Collateral Account Deposit minus the Subscription Amount (as evidenced by a statement from the Collateral Account issued by the Securities Intermediary) and (ii) have paid or caused to be paid to each Subscriber an amount in USD (the “Option Premium”) equal to the product of (x) USD 0.10 multiplied by (y) a pro rata portion of 5,000,000, based on the ratio that the Maximum Subscription Amount of such Subscriber bears to the Total Maximum Subscription Amount, as set forth in Schedule B (the “Option Premium Payment”). On the Closing Date and prior to the release of the Subscription Amount by each Subscriber, the Issuer shall (i) issue the Equity Support Shares against payment of the Subscription Amount to each Subscriber and cause the Equity Support Shares to be registered in book entry form in the name of such Subscriber on the Issuer’s share register (which book entry records shall contain an appropriate notation concerning transfer restrictions of the Equity Support Shares, in accordance with applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions), and will provide to such Subscriber evidence of such issuance from the Issuer’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited each Collateral Account Deposit directly to the Collateral Account (less, for the avoidance of doubt, the Subscription Amount) , and (iii) pay or cause to be paid to each Subscriber the Option Premium Payment. For purposes of this Equity Support Agreement, “business day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required by law to close.

7. Registration Rights.

(a) The Issuer agrees that, within fifteen (15) calendar days following the Closing Date (such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), the Issuer will submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form F-1 or Form F-3 (if the Issuer is then eligible to use a Form F-3 shelf registration) (the “Registration Statement”), in each case, covering the resale of the Total Shaolin Shares acquired by each Subscriber pursuant to this Equity Support Agreement (all such Issuer Ordinary Shares, the “Registrable Equity Support Shares”) on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) thirty (30) calendar days following the Filing Deadline if the SEC notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement (including a limited review) and (ii) the third (3rd) business day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”). The Issuer’s obligations to include the Registrable Equity Support Shares of a Subscriber in the Registration Statement are contingent upon such Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding such Subscriber or its permitted assigns, the securities of the Issuer held by such Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Equity Support Shares (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Registrable Equity Support Shares at least five (5) business days in advance of the expected filing date of the Registration Statement. Each Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement, and all deadlines pertaining to the Issuer pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7(a) shall be delayed, but not excused, by the number of business days following such deadline until each Subscriber provides such information and will be deemed the applicable “Filing Deadline” and the “Effectiveness Deadline”; further provided that the Subscribers shall not in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Equity Support Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under a Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares pursuant to this Section 7 by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted to be registered by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each other selling stockholder named in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such other selling stockholders first and fully, before the number of all Registrable Equity Support Shares to be registered shall be reduced (in which case, it shall be reduced pro rata among the Subscribers). In the event the Issuer amends the Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Registrable Equity Support Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended. For as long as any Subscriber holds Equity Support Shares, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the Subscribers to resell the Equity Support Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Subscribers). Any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 7. The Issuer agrees to file a Registration Statement with respect to the PIPE Shares pursuant to the PIPE Investment and the other common equity shares for resale with the SEC within the same time period described above (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not alter the Issuer’s obligation to comply with the remainder of this Section 7.) Upon a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Equity Support Shares becoming effective, the Issuer shall promptly notify in writing each Subscriber and each broker (nominee) that signed an acknowledgement pursuant to Section 3(h) that such Registration Statement has become effective.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Equity Support Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the Subscribers not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if (x) the use of the Registration Statement would require the inclusion of financial statements that are unavailable for reasons beyond the Issuer’s control, (y) the Issuer’s board of directors determines that in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, or if (z) such filing or use could materially affect a the negotiation or consummation of a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Issuer or its subsidiaries or would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of Issuer’s board of directors to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement (i) on more than two occasions or for more than forty-five (45) total calendar days, in each case during any three-month period, or (ii) on more than three occasions or for more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, each Subscriber agrees that it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Equity Support Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until such Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Issuer shall not include any material non-public information in any such written notice. If so directed by the Issuer, each Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in such Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Equity Support Shares in such Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Equity Support Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent such Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. Upon the occurrence of (y) a Suspension Event or (z) a post-effective amendment to a suspended Registration Statement becoming effective (a “Suspension Cure”), the Issuer shall promptly notify in writing each Subscriber and each broker (nominee) that signed an acknowledgement pursuant to Section 3(h) of the Suspension Event and/or Suspension Cure.

(i) In the event that (A) there is not an effective Registration Statement covering the total number of Registrable Equity Support Shares that is on file with the SEC and (B) the Issuer or any shareholder of the Issuer proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if the Issuer proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to the registration of, equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities (including pursuant to the ATM Agreement), for its own account or for the account of shareholders of the Issuer, other than a Registration Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form F-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), or (iii) filed in connection with a confidentially marketed public offering by the Issuer of primary shares, then the Issuer shall give written notice of such proposed offering to each Subscriber (a “Piggyback Notice”) as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of a registration in which securities of the Issuer are sold to an underwriter in a firm commitment underwriting for distribution to the public (an “Underwritten Offering”) pursuant to a shelf registration, the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which Piggyback Notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the proposed filing date, the intended method(s) of distribution, the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, in such offering and to the extent then known a good faith estimate of the proposed minimum offering price, and (B) offer to each Subscriber the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Equity Support Shares as such Subscriber may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such Piggyback Notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”). The Issuer shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Equity Support Shares to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable Equity Support Shares requested by each Subscriber pursuant to this Section 7(c) to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Issuer included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Equity Support Shares in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of Registrable Equity Support Shares in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to each Subscriber’s agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering, if applicable.

(d) Registration Priority.

(i) The Issuer shall include in any Registration Statement, including but not limited to any Piggyback Registration, before including any shares of Issuer Ordinary Shares or other equity securities proposed to be sold by the Issuer or by other holders of Issuer stock or other equity securities, the Registrable Equity Support Shares held by each Subscriber (if any) that such Subscriber has requested be included in such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Equity Support Agreement, (A) the Issuer hereby agrees and covenants that it will not grant, or enter into an agreement or arrangement pursuant to which the Issuer agrees to grant, rights to register any Issuer Ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Issuer Ordinary Shares) pursuant to the Securities Act in a manner that has the purpose or effect of circumventing, or on terms that contradict, the priority right of each Subscriber set forth in this Section 7(d)(i), and (B) the Issuer represents and warrants that, to the knowledge of the Issuer, SPAC has not granted, or agreed to grant, any registration rights that will survive the Transaction Closing.

(ii) If the SEC prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under any Registration Statement in which Registrable Equity Support Shares are included, including but not limited to any Piggyback Registration where each Subscriber (if any) has requested to be included in such Registration Statement, due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares pursuant to this Section 7 by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted to be registered by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each other selling stockholder named in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such other selling stockholders first and fully, before the number of all Registrable Equity Support Shares to be registered shall be reduced (in which case, it shall be reduced pro rata among the Subscribers).

(iii) The Issuer represents and warrants that the priority rights afforded to each Subscriber pursuant to Section 7(d) of this Equity Support Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and Section 7(d) of this Equity Support Agreement, the terms of Section 7(d) of this Equity Support Agreement shall prevail.

(e) Private Placement Procedure.

(i) In the event that there is not an effective Registration Statement covering the total number of Registrable Equity Support Shares that is on file with the SEC for each VWAP Trading Day during any Reference Period (including an Accelerated Reference Period) (any such event, a “Registration Unavailability Event”), upon a written request of any Subscriber, the Issuer shall facilitate the resale of such number of Registrable Equity Support Shares as will be requested by such Subscriber (in its sole discretion) up to the lesser of (y) the number of the applicable Period Subscriber Shares and (z) the number of Registrable Equity Support Shares held by such Subscriber as of the date of such request in a private placement to be completed on or prior to the last VWAP Trading Day of such Reference Period and satisfactory to such Subscriber in form and substance, including, without limitation, by providing customary representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to such Subscriber and/or any designated purchaser of the Registrable Equity Support Shares from such Subscriber, due diligence rights (for such Subscriber and/or any designated purchaser of the Registrable Equity Support Shares from such Subscriber), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private placements of equity securities, as is acceptable to such Subscriber (in which case, the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments to the terms of this Equity Support Agreement that are necessary, in its good faith and commercially reasonable judgment, to compensate such Subscriber for any customary liquidity discount from the public market price of the Shares incurred on the sale of the Registrable Equity Support Shares in a private placement) (collectively, the “Private Placement Procedure”); provided, that if the Issuer complies with the Private Placement Procedure, the requesting Subscriber shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such applicable Registrable Equity Support Shares that are subject to the request for the Private Placement Procedures; provided, further that no Subscriber shall be obligated to sell any Registrable Equity Support Shares to (i) any Affiliate (as defined in Rule 144 as of the date hereof) of the Issuer or of the SPAC or (ii) any person that is the direct or indirect “beneficial owner” (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Issuer Ordinary Shares exceeding 9.9% of the voting power of the Issuer Ordinary Shares, in each case, at a price lower than the arithmetic averages of the Daily VWAPs for each VWAP Trading Day during the applicable Reference Period up to the date of any such proposed sale.

(f) Reference Price

(i) Notwithstanding the definition of the “Reference Price”, upon the occurrence of a Registration Unavailability Event on any VWAP Trading Day during any Reference Period, the Reference Price (the “Adjusted Reference Price”) for such Reference Period in respect of a Subscriber will be a weighted average amount calculated by the Calculation Agent as follows:

ARP = (A + B) / C, where:

ARP – Adjusted Reference Price

A – (x) the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs for the full VWAP Trading Days, if any, within the applicable Reference Period, starting from the first VWAP Trading Day thereof, that preceded the first (if applicable) Registration Unavailability Event within the Reference Period (excluding the VWAP Trading Day on which the Registration Unavailability Event has occurred) multiplied by (y) the number of such full VWAP Trading Days, if any;

B – (x) if upon the occurrence of a Registration Unavailability Event such Subscriber has requested the Private Placement Procedure pursuant to Section 7(e), the net aggregate proceeds actually received on or prior to 5 p.m. US Eastern Time on the Business Day immediately following the final VWAP Trading Day of each Reference Period (after any brokerage, underwriting, legal or other fees related to the Private Placement that are not reimbursed by Issuer) by such Subscriber divided by the number of Issuer Ordinary Shares offered by such Subscriber pursuant to the Private Placement Procedure or (y) if upon the occurrence of a Registration Unavailability Event and until the end of the applicable Reference Period such Subscriber has not requested the Private Placement Procedure pursuant to Section 7(e), starting from (and including) the VWAP Trading Day on which such Registration Unavailability Event has occurred, the arithmetic average of the Daily VWAPs for the full VWAP Trading Days remaining in the applicable Reference Period, in each case (x) and (y), multiplied by (z) such number of the full VWAP Trading Days remaining in the applicable Reference Period; and

C – the total number of the VWAP Trading Days in the applicable Reference Period;

it being understood that the component “A” will be deemed “0” and the Adjusted Reference Price will be determined based on the components “B” and “C” of the formula above, if (1) the Registration Unavailability Event ceases to exist during such Reference Period if it commenced prior to the start of such Reference Period, or (2) if the Registration Unavailability Event exists as of the first VWAP Trading Day of a Reference Period.

The provisions of this clause (e) will apply mutatis mutandis to any Accelerated Reference Period(s).

The parties agree and acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 7(f) are explicitly subject to Section 15.

(g) At its expense the Issuer shall:

(i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Issuer determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Total Shaolin Shares, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (A) the date all Total Shaolin Shares held by the Subscribers may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including, without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (B) two (2) years from the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement (the period of time during which the Issuer is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”);

(ii) during the Registration Period, advise the Subscribers, as expeditiously as practicable:

(1) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(2) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein (“Prospectus”) or for additional information;

(3) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(4) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Equity Support Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(5) subject to the provisions in this Equity Support Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or Prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Issuer shall not, when so advising the Subscribers of such events, provide the Subscribers with any material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer other than to the extent that providing notice to the Subscribers of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (5) above in itself constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the Issuer, in which case such Subscriber may use and disclose such material non-public information publicly and/or to any potential purchaser of the Issuer Ordinary Shares from such Subscriber, as applicable;

(iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iv) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a Prospectus forming a part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Equity Support Shares included therein, such Prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Equity Support Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Issuer Ordinary Shares have been listed;

(vi) use its commercially reasonable efforts (1) to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Equity Support Shares contemplated hereby and (2) to file all reports and other materials required to be filed by the Exchange Act so long as the Issuer is subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144 to enable Subscriber to sell the Registrable Equity Support Shares under Rule 144 for so long as the Subscriber holds Registrable Equity Support Shares;

(vii) (1) cause the Transfer Agent to remove the notation concerning transfer restrictions of the Equity Support Shares referenced in Section 2, at each Subscriber’s request and reasonably promptly upon such request, when the Registrable Equity Support Shares are sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or the Registration Statement or may be sold without restriction under Rule 144; and

(2) within five (5) business days after the Effectiveness Deadline, cause the Transfer Agent to deliver the Equity Support Shares to each Subscriber or such Subscriber’s nominee through the facilities of the DTC maintained in the form of book entries on the books of the DTC and allowed to be settled through the DTC’s regular book-entry settlement services without any restrictive legend; provided, in the case of clause (2), the Issuer has received such representation letters and certificates from such Subscriber and its broker (nominee) as may be reasonably requested by the Issuer (it being understood and agreed between the parties that representation letters and certificates delivered in the form agreed to as a condition precedent to this Equity Support Agreement pursuant to Section 3(h) shall be deemed sufficient for purposes of this clause). In connection therewith, if required by the Transfer Agent, the Issuer will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with the Transfer Agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the Transfer Agent that authorize and direct the Transfer Agent to transfer such Registrable Equity Support Shares without any such legend;

(viii) promptly notify in writing, or cause its counsel to promptly notify in writing, each broker (nominee) that signed an acknowledgement pursuant to Section 3(h) in the event that (1) a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Equity Support Shares is effective, (2) a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Equity Support Shares ceases to be effective and (3) in the case of clause (2), such Registration Statement has become effective;

(ix) use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Subscribers to review disclosure regarding the Subscribers in the Registration Statement; and

(x) otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by any Subscriber, consistent with the terms of this Equity Support Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Registrable Equity Support Shares.

(h) Indemnification.

(i) The Issuer agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), its officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees, stockholders, advisers and agents, and each person who controls such Subscriber (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), to the extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees of one law firm (and one firm of local counsel)) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Issuer by or on behalf of such Subscriber expressly for use therein and except with respect to sales made during a Suspension Event.

(ii) In connection with any Registration Statement in which any Subscriber is participating, such Subscriber shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Issuer in writing such information and affidavits as the Issuer reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Issuer, its directors and officers and each person or entity who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable outside attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by on behalf of such Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of each Subscriber shall be several and not joint with any other investor whose securities are covered by the same Registration Statement and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Registrable Equity Support Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

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

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

(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 7(h) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of each Subscriber shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Subscriber from the sale of Registrable Equity Support Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

10. Subscribers Covenant. Each Subscriber hereby agrees that, from and after the date hereof, none of such Subscriber, its controlled affiliates, or any person or entity acting on behalf of such Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates or pursuant to any understanding with such Subscriber or any of its controlled affiliates shall enter into any Short Sales with respect to the equity or equity-linked securities of the Issuer, if applicable, at a price per Share (or, if such Short Sale is in the form of a derivative, at the strike price per Share) less than $10.40. For purposes of this Section 10, “Short Sales” shall include (i) all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, including transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers, and (ii) all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), but excluding this Equity Support Agreement and bona fide margin agreements to which such Subscriber may be or may become a party (collectively, “Restricted Short Sales”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that (A) this Equity Support Agreement shall not, in whole or in part, constitute a Short Sale, (B) each Subscriber shall be permitted to effect a Short Sale of Equity Support Shares to the extent such Short Sale is necessary or appropriate for such Subscriber to facilitate a delivery of the corresponding number of the Issuer Ordinary Shares in freely transferable form without any restrictive legends through the facilities of the DTC from the Issuer or the Transfer Agent, as applicable, (C) the purchase of put options, sale of call options or delta negative trades in other equity-linked derivatives or securities with strike prices or the functional equivalent that are equal to or greater than the USD 10.40 shall not be deemed to be Short Sales, and (D) Short Sales, to the extent such Short Sale is a substitute or a replacement of a Short Sale that was not a Restricted Short Shale when entered into and is made by an affiliate of any Subscriber in connection with any novation of this Equity Support Agreement permitted hereunder shall not be prohibited by this Section 10. Further, the parties agree that the Total Shaolin Shares, or any portion thereof, may be pledged by the Subscribers in connection with bona fide margin agreements, which shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of such shares restricted by the provisions of this Section 10. The restrictions provided in this Section 10 shall cease to be binding upon the Subscribers (x) upon the occurrence of, and immediately from the date of, any Acceleration Event, if (A) a Registration Effectiveness Adjustment Event has occurred and is continuing or (B) the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Total Shaolin Shares is not effective for any other reason, in each case, as of the date of such Acceleration Event and (y) if any Acceleration Event has occurred and continuing, immediately from the date of any Registration Effectiveness Adjustment Event or if the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Total Shaolin Shares is not, or ceases to be effective, for any other reason, in each case, during the pendency of such Acceleration Event. For every Share for which each Subscriber directly or indirectly enters into a Restricted Short Sale at a Share price below $10.40, the Reference Price for an equal number of the Shares that are the Total Shaolin Shares shall be deemed to be $10.40.

(a) Collateral Account Releases.

(i) On or prior to 5 p.m. US Eastern Time on the Business Day immediately following the final VWAP Trading Day of each Reference Period, the Issuer shall pay to each Subscriber in immediately available funds in USD the applicable Reference Period Payment. Following such payment, each Subscriber shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to release the applicable Issuer Release Amount from the Collateral Account to the Issuer at the wire instructions to be provided by the Issuer to such Subscriber prior to the First Reference Period. If such Reference Period Payment is not made by the Issuer in full and on time, then each Subscriber shall instruct Securities Intermediary to (i) release the applicable Reference Period Payment from the Collateral Account to such Subscriber at the following wire instructions as in Annex A, and (ii) release the applicable Issuer Release Amount from the Collateral Account to the Issuer at the wire instructions to be provided by the Issuer to such Subscriber prior to the First Reference Period. The parties agree that payments under this Section 13(a) shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as termination payments under Section 1234A of the Code.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of a Delisting or Insolvency Filing, the Reference Price shall immediately be deemed to be USD 0 (the “Delisted/Insolvent Price”) for the applicable Reference Period and all succeeding Reference Periods (if any), the start (if a Reference Period has not yet started) of each Reference Period and the end of each Reference Period shall be deemed to be accelerated to the date of such Delisting or Insolvency Filing, and each Subscriber shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to release the outstanding balance of the Collateral Account to such Subscriber. The parties agree and acknowledged that the provisions of this Section 13(a)(iii) are explicitly subject to Section 15.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at any time the Calculation Agent determines that the amount in any Collateral Account is insufficient to fund the maximum amount of the remaining Reference Period Payment(s) (assuming, for purposes of such calculation, that the Daily VWAP for each remaining VWAP Trading Day is USD 0), it shall notify the applicable Subscriber and the Issuer of such deficiency and the Issuer shall be obligated, within two (2) Business Days, to deliver an amount in cash in USD to such Collateral Account to cure such deficiency.

(b) Dispute Resolution.

(i) In the event that a party (the “Disputing Party”) does not agree with any determination made (or the failure to make any determination) by the Calculation Agent, the Disputing Party shall have the right, by delivering notice within one (1) Business Day of such determination, to require that the Calculation Agent have such determination reviewed by a disinterested third party that is a leading dealer in the U.S. corporate equity derivatives market and that is not an Affiliate of either party (a “Third Party Dealer”). Such Third Party Dealer shall be jointly selected by the parties within one (1) Business Day after the Disputing Party’s exercise of its rights hereunder (once selected, such Third Party Dealer shall be the “Substitute Calculation Agent”). If the parties are unable to agree on a Substitute Calculation Agent within the prescribed time, each of the parties shall elect a Third Party Dealer and such two dealers shall agree on a third Third Party Dealer by the end of the subsequent Business Day. Such third Third Party Dealer shall be deemed to be the Substitute Calculation Agent. Any exercise by the Disputing Party of its rights hereunder must be in writing and shall be delivered to the Calculation Agent not later than the first (1st) Business Day following the Business Day on which the Calculation Agent notifies the Disputing Party of any determination made (or of the failure to make any determination). Any determination by the Substitute Calculation Agent shall be binding in the absence of a manifest error and shall be made as soon as possible but no later than the second (2nd) Business Day following the Substitute Calculation Agent’s appointment. The costs of such Substitute Calculation Agent and, if applicable, nominating Third Party Dealers shall be borne by (a) the Disputing Party if the Substitute Calculation Agent substantially agrees with the Calculation Agent or (b) the non-Disputing Party if the Substitute Calculation Agent does not substantially agree with the Calculation Agent. If, after following the procedures and within the specified time frames set forth above, a binding determination is not achieved, the original determination of the Calculation Agent shall apply.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Issuer disputes any determination in good faith made by the Calculation Agent, the Issuer shall not be entitled to the release of any funds from the Collateral Account, including pursuant to Section 13(a)(i) or (a)(ii), during the pendency of the dispute and the utilization of the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 13(b)(i).

(i) The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees to notify each Subscriber of the occurrence of any Acceleration Event that it is, or reasonably should be aware of as promptly as practicable thereafter and, to the extent that the occurrence of such Acceleration Event would constitute material non-public information with respect to the Issuer or the Issuer Ordinary Shares, simultaneously with such notice to file a Form 8-K with the SEC disclosing the occurrence of such Acceleration Event. In addition to the foregoing, to the extent any Subscriber reasonably believes any information related to such Acceleration Event received from the Issuer constitutes material non-public information with respect to the Issuer or the Issuer Ordinary Shares that has not been disclosed to the market generally by the Issuer, such Subscriber may use and disclose such material non-public information publicly and/or to any potential purchaser of Issuer Ordinary Shares from such Subscriber.

(ii) Following the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, each Subscriber shall have the right, exercisable on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date when such Subscriber has received a notice from such Acceleration Event from the Issuer, to accelerate any and all the remaining Reference Periods, at the election of such Subscriber, pursuant to the proviso set forth in the definition of the “Reference Period” (and each such new Reference Period, as accelerated, shall be deemed to be an “Accelerated Reference Period”). For the avoidance of doubt, such right may, at the sole discretion of each Subscriber, be exercised prior to the receipt of such notice from the Issuer. If any Subscriber makes such election, it shall reasonably promptly notify the Issuer of such acceleration in reasonable detail, including (i) the applicable Acceleration Event, (ii) the number of Total Shaolin Shares that such acceleration is being applied to, (iii) the applicable Reference Period Commencement Date(s) and (iv) the length of the applicable Reference Period(s).

An Excluded Financing shall include, but not be limited to, a financing that is a “backstop”, equity support, contingent capital, standby equity purchase, redemption recapture or similar agreement, arrangement, contract or similar. For the avoidance of doubt, the ATM Agreement is expressly permitted and discussing, negotiating, and closing such a facility shall not be a breach of this Section 14(d).

(e) Neither this Equity Support Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Subscribers hereunder (other than the Equity Support Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned; provided that any Subscriber may transfer and assign its rights and obligations under this Equity Support Agreement to one or more of its affiliates and other investment funds, co-investors or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of such Subscriber or an affiliate thereof, including the rights pursuant to Section 7 hereunder.

(f) The Issuer may request from the Subscribers such additional information as the Issuer may deem necessary in connection with the inclusion of the Equity Support Shares in the Registration Statement, and each Subscriber shall provide such information as may reasonably be requested. Each Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer may file a copy of this Equity Support Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a current or periodic report or a registration statement of the Issuer.

(g) Each Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of such Subscriber contained in this Equity Support Agreement. Prior to the Closing, each Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Issuer if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of such Subscriber set forth herein are no longer accurate. Each Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by such Subscriber of Equity Support Shares from the Issuer will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein (as modified by any such notification) by such Subscriber as of the time of such purchase.

(h) The Issuer and each Subscriber are each entitled to rely upon this Equity Support Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Equity Support Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

(i) All of the representations and warranties contained in this Equity Support Agreement shall survive the Closing. All of the covenants and agreements made by each party hereto in this Equity Support Agreement shall survive the Closing until the applicable statute of limitations or in accordance with their respective terms, if a shorter period.

(j) This Equity Support Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties and third-party beneficiaries hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

(k) This Equity Support Agreement (including the schedules, annexes and exhibits hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior term sheets, agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge and agree that this Equity Support Agreement shall not terminate, release or otherwise supersede the exclusivity obligation of the SPAC set forth in any term sheet among the SPAC, an affiliate of the Subscribers and the other parties thereto related to the matters set forth herein. This Equity Support Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.

(l) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Equity Support Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

(m) If any provision of this Equity Support Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Equity Support Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

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

(o) The Issuer acknowledges that in the event of a breach of this Equity Support Agreement by the Issuer, the SPAC, or their advisors, substantial injury could result to the Subscribers and monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for such breach. Therefore, in the event that the Issuer or the SPAC engage in, or threaten to engage in any act which violates any provision of this Equity Support Agreement, the Subscribers shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies which may be available to it under law or in equity, to injunctive relief (including, without limitation, temporary restraining orders, or preliminary or permanent injunctions) and specific enforcement of the terms of this Agreement. The Subscribers shall not be required to post a bond or other security in connection with the granting of any such relief.

(p) Section headings and titles contained herein are intended for convenience and reference only and are not intended to define, limit or describe the scope or intent of any provision of this Equity Support Agreement.

(q) THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (OR, TO THE EXTENT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW YORK) SOLELY IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS EQUITY SUPPORT AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THIS EQUITY SUPPORT AGREEMENT AND IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING FOR INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT THAT IS NOT SUBJECT THERETO OR THAT SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SAID COURTS OR THAT VENUE THEREOF MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT THIS EQUITY SUPPORT AGREEMENT OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS, AND THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY SUCH A NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO AND GRANT ANY SUCH COURT JURISDICTION OVER THE PERSON OF SUCH PARTIES AND OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH DISPUTE AND AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 14(q) OF THIS EQUITY SUPPORT AGREEMENT OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF. THIS EQUITY SUPPORT AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRED THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE.

(r) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS EQUITY SUPPORT AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY 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 IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS EQUITY SUPPORT AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS EQUITY SUPPORT AGREEMENT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS EQUITY SUPPORT AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14(r).

15. Parties’ Acknowledgements. The parties agree that (i) the Issuer’s obligations to register the Total Shaolin Shares by the Effectiveness Deadline and maintain the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering the Total Shaolin Shares during the Registration Period, as contemplated by Section 7 and (ii) the Issuer’s continued solvency and its listing on any of The New York Stock Exchange, The Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or any of their respective successors) are each an integral part of this Equity Support Agreement and, in view of the uncertainty, impracticability and extreme difficulty (if not impossibility) of estimating damages that may result from an the Issuer’s breach of such registration obligations or from a Delisting or Insolvency Filing, including because of the parties’ inability to predict future share prices, interest and stock borrow rates, future trading volumes and other relevant market-based factors, the parties mutually agree that the terms of the Adjusted Reference Price and the Delisted/Insolvent Price represent, and are intended by the parties to be, a reasonable estimate of each Subscriber’s anticipated damages as a result of such the Issuer’s breach, and not penalties. The Adjusted Reference Price and the Delisted/Insolvent Price shall be deemed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Subscriber, and the Issuer agrees that the terms of the Adjusted Reference Price and the Delisted/Insolvent Price are reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE ISSUER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE ADJUSTED REFERENCE PRICE AND/OR THE DELISTED/INSOLVENT PRICE OR ANY PAYMENTS REQUIRED BY SECTION 13 IN CONNECTION WITH A BREACH OF THE ISSUER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 7 OR A DELISTING OR INSOLVENCY EVENT. The Issuer expressly agrees that (i) the terms of the Adjusted Reference Price and Delisted/Insolvent Price are reasonable and are the product of an arm’s length negotiated transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the Adjusted Reference Price and Delisted/Insolvent Price shall be accounted for in the payments contemplated by this Equity Support Agreement notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates for registered the Issuer Ordinary Shares or any other securities at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Subscribers and the Issuer giving specific consideration in this Equity Support Agreement for such agreement to include the Adjusted Reference Price and Delisted/Insolvent Price, and (iv) the Issuer shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. the Issuer expressly acknowledges that its agreement to include the Adjusted Reference Price and Delisted/Insolvent Price for the benefit of the Subscribers as herein described is a material inducement to the Subscribers to purchase the Equity Support Shares hereunder.

16. Press Releases. All press releases or other public communications relating to the transactions contemplated hereby between the Issuer and the Subscribers, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall prior to the Closing be subject to the prior approval of (i) the Issuer, and (ii) to the extent such press release or public communication references the any Subscriber or its affiliates or investment advisers by name, such Subscriber, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned; provided, that neither the Issuer nor the Subscribers shall be required to obtain consent pursuant to this Section 16 to the extent any proposed release or statement is substantially equivalent to the information that has previously been made public without breach of the obligation under this Section 16. The restriction in this Section 16 shall not apply to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities law, any governmental authority or stock exchange rule; provided, that in such an event, the applicable party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party in advance as to its form, content and timing.

17. Notices. All notices and other communications among the parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iv) when delivered by email (in each case in this clause (iv), solely if receipt is confirmed, but excluding any automated reply, such as an out-of-office notification), addressed as follows:
