From the date hereof until the Closing, except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (a) the Group Company shall promptly notify the Series D Investors of any Action commenced or threatened in writing against any Warrantors, and (b) the Group Company shall promptly notify the Series D Investors of any breach, violation or non-compliance by any Warrantors (as the case may be) of any representation, warranty or covenant made by any Warrantors (as the case may be) hereunder.

(iii) Conduct of Business. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, the Warrantors shall ensure that the Group Companies’ business shall be carried out in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and in substantially the same manner as conducted prior to the date hereof.

7.2 Convertible Loan.

(i) Purchase of the Equity Securities of Shanghai Hesai. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and other Transaction Documents, if the Closing fails to occur within seventy (70) days after the CB Closing, each Series D Investor shall have the right to issue a written notice (the “Requesting Notice”) to Shanghai Hesai requesting to purchase the equity interests of Shanghai Hesai based on the pre-money valuation of Shanghai Hesai of US$1,650,000,000 (on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) at the same Purchase Price and upon other terms and conditions as same as those for the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Onshore Share Purchase”). Each Warrantor shall, and shall cause the other existing shareholders of Shanghai Hesai at that time to take or cause to be taken all action, to do or cause to be done, to execute such further instruments and documents, and to assist and cooperate with any other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under and in accordance with all applicable Laws or otherwise (i) to issue equity interests of Shanghai Hesai to such Series D Investor (or its Affiliates) pursuant to the Onshore Share Purchase, provided that, in respect of the PRC Series D Investor, the PRC Series D Investor shall have paid the Purchase Price to Shanghai Hesai, (ii) to complete and obtain all Consents, including without limitation permits, consents, approvals, resolutions or authorizations of any competent Governmental Authority that Shanghai Hesai shall obtain in connection with the consummation of the Onshore Share Purchase. All costs, expenses, charges, compensations, indemnifications, tax, fees associated with the Onshore Share Purchase and charged by any Governmental Authority shall be borne by Shanghai Hesai. After the US Series D Investor or its Affiliates being registered as the shareholder of Shanghai Hesai by the competent Governmental Authority regarding its Onshore Share Purchase (the “Registration of Onshore Share Purchase”), the Company shall repay the principal of the Convertible Loan to the US Series D Investor in a lump sum or in installments, provided that the total amount of the principal of such Convertible Loan shall be repaid within twelve (12) months after the Registration of Onshore Share Purchase, and the US Series D Investor (or its Affiliates) shall pay such amount repaid by the Company to Shanghai Hesai as the consideration for the Onshore Share Purchase. Shanghai Hesai shall not request the US Series D Investor, and the US Series D Investor shall not be under any obligation, to make any payment of any purchase price of the Onshore Share Purchase, unless the US Series D Investor has received the equivalent amount repaid by the Company (or by Shanghai Hesai or Founders pursuant to Section 7.2(iii) hereunder) to it.

(ii) Repayment of the Convertible Loan. If the US Series D Investor (or its Affiliates) fails to be registered as the shareholder of Shanghai Hesai by the competent Governmental Authority in accordance with the aforesaid terms and conditions in Section 7.2(i) due to any reason not attributable to the US Series D Investor and the Group Companies and the US Series D Investor fails to reach an alternative arrangement within two (2) month following the date of the Requesting Notice, the US Series D Investor shall be entitled to choose (a) requesting the immediate repayment of the principal of the Convertible Loan and interest accrued on the Convertible Loan on a daily basis calculated based on a simple rate of 8% per annum from the date of the advancement of the Convertible Loan to its repayment date within thirty (30) days upon receipt of such request of repayment, or (b) requesting the Warrantors to proceed with the consummation of the Onshore Share Purchase (for the avoidance of doubt, if the Onshore Share Purchase has not been consummated within three (3) months after requested by the US Series D Investor, the US Series D Investor shall always be entitled to choose item (a) even if it chooses item (b) in the first place). For avoidance of any doubts, (A) the US Series D Investor shall not request and the Warrantors shall not be liable to the repayment of the Convertible Loan or the interest accrued thereon (if any) except as so provided in this Section 7.2, (B) if the Closing occurs or the Onshore Share Purchase consummates in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and other Transaction Documents, the Convertible Loan shall bear no interest.

(iii) Guarantee. Shanghai Hesai and the Founders shall guarantee the repayment of the principal of the Convertible Loan set forth in Section 7.2(i) and the repayment of the Convertible Loan and the interest accrued thereon set forth in Section 7.2(ii). For avoidance of any doubts, the US Series D Investor shall first require Shanghai Hesai to take its guarantee liabilities and the Founder shall only take its guarantee liability under the circumstance that Shanghai Hesai fails to repay or fully repay the Convertible Loan and the interest accrued thereon.

7.3 Use of Proceeds. Save as contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise agreed by Parties, the Convertible Loan and/or the proceeds of the sale of the Class B Ordinary Shares shall be used for the business expansion, capital expenditures and general working capital of the Group Companies during the ordinary course of business (including the Principal Business). For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Group Companies may use the Convertible Loan and/or the proceeds of the sale of the Class B Ordinary Shares to complete the restructuring as stated in the Reorganization Plan set forth in Schedule C hereto.

7.4 Compliance with Laws. The Group Companies shall, and the Founders shall cause the Group Companies to, conduct their respective business as currently conducted or proposed to be conducted in compliance with all applicable Laws of each relevant jurisdiction in all material respects and obtain and maintain all approvals, permits and licenses necessary for the business of the Company on a continuing basis.

7.5 Additional Post-Closing Covenants.

(i) Filing of the Restated M&A. The Company shall, and the Founders shall cause the Company to, have the Restated M&A duly filed with and stamped by the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing.

(ii) Option Pool. Immediately upon, or as soon as practicable, after the Closing, the Company shall reserve 9,232,974 Class B Ordinary Shares (as appropriately adjusted for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and similar events) representing 7% of the outstanding shares of the Company (on a fully diluted and as-converted basis) immediately after the Closing for issuance to the officers, directors, employees, consultants or service providers of the Company in accordance with the ESOP to be duly approved by the Board of the Company after the Closing. The Warrantors further agree that, except for the above, the Company shall not reserve, grant or issue any Equity Securities for employee share option plan or other incentive plan without the approval of the holders of majority voting power of all issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares.

7.6 Implementation of Reorganization Plan.

(i) The Warrantors shall, and shall procure their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith and use their best efforts to cause all reorganization steps as contemplated under the Reorganization Plan set forth in Schedule C to occur and complete as soon as practicable and in any event within seventy (70) days after the CB Closing.

(ii) In furtherance of, and without limiting the foregoing, each Warrantor agrees to take or cause to be taken all action, to do or cause to be done, to execute such further instruments, and to assist and cooperate with any other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under and in accordance with all applicable Laws (including without limitation, SAFE Rules and Regulations, ODI Rules and Regulations and any other applicable PRC Laws) or otherwise to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, any reorganization steps as contemplated under the Reorganization Plan, and to obtain all Consent necessary for the Reorganization Plan.

(iii) Each Series D Investor agrees to provide commercially reasonable assistance, to the extent exercising the rights and fulfilling the obligations as the Convertible Loan provider or the shareholder of the Company, to ensure the completion of the Reorganization Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, each Series D Investor agrees to execute necessary documents and take reasonably necessary actions to cooperate with the Company (i) to issue Class B Ordinary Shares to the existing shareholders of Shanghai Hesai (or their Affiliates), amend the register of members of the Company and issue new share certificate(s) so that the Company’s capitalization table immediately after completion of all reorganization steps under the Reorganization Plan shall be as set forth in Part III of Schedule B; and (ii) to amend the register of directors of the Company to reflect the individuals nominated by the Existing Shareholders (if any), respectively, as the directors of the Board of the Company.

7.7 Share Transfer Restriction. Unless otherwise approved by the holders of majority voting power of all issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares, the Founder or his Founder Holdcos shall not directly or indirectly transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) any of their Equity Securities in the Company and Shanghai Hesai (except for the purpose of implementing the Reorganization Plan) until the initial public offering of shares of the Company, except for (a) any transfer of Equity Securities among the Founders or their Founder Holdcos, and (b) any transfer to the parents, children or spouse, or to trusts for the benefits of such Founder for bona fide estate planning purposes, provided that, prior to the completion of such Transfer, each transferee mentioned in the above items (a) and (b) shall have executed a deed of adherence to assume the obligations of such Key Party under this Agreement, with respect to the transferred Equity Securities; provided further, that the Key Party shall remain liable for any breach by its transferee under item (b) of any provision under this Agreement.

7.8 Exclusivity. From the date of the execution of this Agreement and until the earlier of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.13, the Warrantors shall not, and they shall not permit any of their representatives to, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, encourage, respond to, or take any other action to facilitate or participate in any negotiations, overtures, or discussions concerning any offer or proposal or enter into any agreement with respect to, any purchase, sale or transfer (whether in the form of merger, consolidation or otherwise) of any Equity Securities in any Group Company, or of all or substantially all of the assets of any Group Company (the “New Financing”), or transaction similar to the transactions contemplated herein with any party other than the Series D Investors without the affirmative prior written approval of the Series D Investors, except for the purchase and sale of up to 22,666,666 Class B Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Series D Investors and other new investors (the “Co-Investors”) set forth in Schedule A-2 attached hereto, provided that, such issuance shall be based on a purchase price per share that is the same with the Purchase Price per share for the transactions contemplated herein (as adjusted in connection with share splits or share consolidation, reclassification or other similar event) and other same terms and conditions for such transactions contemplated herein (the “Exempted Transactions”). The Warrantors represent, jointly and severally, that none of them is a signatory to or bound by any agreement with respect to any transactions or combinations as described in the preceding sentence other than the Exempted Transaction or as contemplated by this Agreement. Except for those related to the Exempted Transaction, the Company shall notify each Series D Investor of such offer or proposal received by the Warrantors after the execution of this Agreement, and shall provide to each Series D Investor (unless prohibited under applicable law or the terms of a binding non-disclosure agreement) copies of any written materials received in connection with such offer or proposal.

7.9 Full Time Commitment. Each Founder hereby covenants and undertakes that he shall devote one hundred percent (100%) of his working time and attention to the business of the Group Companies.

7.10 Non-Competition. Each of the Founders hereby undertakes to the Series D Investors that he will not, either on his own account or through any of his Affiliates, directly or indirectly:

(a) until two (2) years after the date on which the Founder ceases to be a shareholder (directly or indirectly) or the date on which the Founder ceases to be a director, officer and employee (either a full-time employee or a part-time employee) of the Group Company, whichever is later (the “Restriction Period”), participate, assist, be involved with, engaged or interested in, any business or entity in any manner, directly or indirectly, which is in competition with the business carried on by any Group Company (including the Principal Business) at any time during the Restriction Period;

(b) during the Restriction Period, solicit in any manner any person who is or has been during the Restriction Period a customer or client of any Group Company for the purpose of offering to such person any goods or services similar to or competing with any of the business conducted by any Group Company (including the Principal Business) at any time during the Restriction Period;

(c) during the Restriction Period, solicit or entice away, or endeavour to solicit or entice away, any employee or officer of any Group Company;

(d) at any time disclose to any person (other than the parties hereto), or use for any purpose, any information concerning the business, accounts, finance, transactions or intellectual property rights of any Group Company or any trade secrets or confidential information of or relating to any of the Group Companies.

8. INDEMNITY.

8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. Unless otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the representations and warranties of the Warrantors and the Series D Investors contained in or made pursuant to Section 3 and Section 4 in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement for a period of twenty-four (24) months after the Closing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Section 1 through Section 5, Section 13 and Section 15 of Exhibit B (Representations and Warranties of Warrantors) shall survive until the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations for the matters in question and shall not be affected by any due diligence or investigation by the Series D Investors.

8.2 Indemnification by Warrantors. Each Warrantor hereby agrees to, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Series D Investor, and its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents and assigns (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses, resulting from, or arising out of or due to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by any of the Warrantors in or pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) any failure by the Warrantors to comply with any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents.

8.3 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,

(i) no claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to Section 8.2 unless and until the aggregate amount of Indemnifiable Losses of the relevant Party hereto and its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents and assigns (the “Indemnified Parties”) that may be claimed hereunder exceeds US$500,000 (the “Indemnity Basket”), in which event such indemnification shall be required to the full extent of the Indemnifiable Loss, including the Indemnity Basket;

(ii) (1) the maximum aggregate liabilities of the Warrantors in respect of all relevant claims under this Agreement and other Transaction Documents brought by any of the Indemnitees is limited to its respective Purchase Price paid by such Series D Investor unless otherwise explicitly provided in Section 7.2 of this Agreement, and (2) the aggregate liabilities for each Key Party in respect of all relevant claims under this Agreement and other Transaction Documents brought by any of the Indemnitees (including the guarantee liabilities under Section 7.2) shall be limited to the market value of all Equity Securities of the Group Companies directly or indirectly then held by such Key Party, and any Indemnitee shall nonetheless seek indemnification from each Founder exclusively through raising claims against the Equity Securities of the Group Companies then directly and indirectly owned by such Founder or the market value of such Equity Securities (for avoidance of doubt, not through acquiring/enforcing any other assets or properties of any Founder). For the purpose of this paragraph (ii) of Section 8.3, the “market value” of the Equity Securities of the Group Companies directly or indirectly then owned by the Key Parties shall be the proceeds actually received by a Key Party through disposing such Equity Securities of the Group Companies in good faith and at arm’s length;

(iii) the Warrantors shall not be liable for any claim if the Indemnifiable Loss caused by such claim has been eliminated or prevented by the Warrantors within thirty (30) Business Days after the date on which the notice from such Indemnitee claiming for indemnity is received by the Warrantors;

(iv) the Warrantors shall not be liable to indemnify any Indemnitee in respect of any claims under this Agreement or other Transaction Documents with respect to any non-compliance with applicable Laws of the Warrantors, to the extent that such claims would not have arisen but for a change in any law, regulation or government decrees promulgated after the Closing; and

(v) with respect to each indemnification obligation contained in this Agreement, all Indemnifiable Losses shall be net of any third-party insurance or indemnity, contribution or similar that have been recovered by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification, less the costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery.

9. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISCLOSURE.

9.1 Disclosure of Terms. The terms and conditions of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, and all exhibits, restatements and amendments hereto and thereto, including their existence, and the communications in connection with the transactions contemplated hereto (collectively, the “Financing Terms”) shall be considered confidential information and shall not be disclosed by any Party hereto to any third party except in accordance with the provisions set forth below. Each Series D Investor will keep confidential and will not disclose or divulge, any information which such Series D Investor obtains from the Company, pursuant to financial statements, reports, presentations, correspondence, and any other materials provided by the Company (collectively, the “Company Confidential Information”), unless the information is known, or until the information becomes known, to the public through no fault of such Series D Investor, or unless the Company gives its written consent to such Series D Investor’s release of the information.

9.2 Press Releases. No announcement regarding any confidential information (including the existence of, and terms of, this Agreement) and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be made in a press release, conference, advertisement, announcement, professional or trade publication, mass marketing materials or otherwise to the general public without the mutual written consent of the Company and the Series D Investors.

(b) The confidentiality obligations set out in this Section 9 do not apply to the information which was in the public domain or otherwise known to the relevant Party before it was furnished to it by another Party hereto or, after it was furnished to that Party, entered the public domain otherwise than as a result of (i) a breach by that Party of this Section 9 or (ii) a breach of a confidentiality obligation by the discloser, where the breach was known to that Party.

9.4 Legally Compelled Disclosure. In the event that any Party is requested or becomes legally compelled (including without limitation pursuant to securities Laws) to disclose the existence or any terms or conditions of this Agreement or any of the exhibits or schedules attached thereto in contravention of the provisions of this Section 9, such Party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall provide the other Parties (the “Non-Disclosing Parties”) with prompt written notice of that fact and where reasonably practicable, shall use all reasonable efforts to seek (with the cooperation and reasonable efforts of the other Parties) a protective order, confidential treatment or other appropriate remedy. In such event, the Disclosing Party shall furnish only that portion of the information that is legally required and shall exercise reasonable efforts to keep confidential such information to the extent reasonably requested by any Non-Disclosing Parties.

9.5 Without the prior written consent of each Series D Investor, and whether or not such Series D Investor is then a shareholder of the Company, none of the Group Companies nor any other Warrantors shall use, publish or reproduce the name, trademarks, trade names, domain names, service marks, business names, or logos of such Series D Investor and its Affiliates, including without limitation the name, trademarks or logos of [investor] or any similar name, trademark or logo in any documents and materials, including without limitation their marketing, advertising or promotion materials or otherwise for any marketing, advertising, promotional purposes or other purposes.
