Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company and SPAC, the Proxy Statement shall include proxy materials for the purpose of soliciting proxies from SPAC Stockholders to vote, at an extraordinary general meeting of SPAC Stockholders to be called and held for such purpose (the “SPAC Special Meeting”), in favor of resolutions approving (i) the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the Additional Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Merger and the Transactions, by the holders of SPAC Shares in accordance with the SPAC Charter, Delaware Law and the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq, and (ii) such other matters as the Company and the SPAC shall hereafter mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the approvals described in foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “SPAC Stockholder Approval Matters”); and (iii) the adjournment of the SPAC Special Meeting, if necessary or desirable in the reasonable determination of SPAC. In connection with the Registration Statement, SPAC and the Company will file with the SEC financial and other information about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with applicable Law and applicable proxy solicitation and registration statement rules set forth in the SPAC Charter, Delaware Law and the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq. The Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that SPAC Board has unanimously recommended that the SPAC Stockholders vote in favor of the Transaction Proposals at the SPAC Special Meeting (such statement, the “SPAC Board Recommendation”) and, except as permitted by Section 7.4, neither the SPAC Board nor any committee thereof shall withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, the SPAC Board Recommendation (each a “SPAC Change of Recommendation”). SPAC shall, with the agreement of the Company prior to filing any such amendment or supplement, amend or supplement the Registration Statement (including the Proxy Statement) and cause the Registration Statement (including the Proxy Statement), as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and the SPAC shall cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the SPAC Stockholders after the Registration Statement is approved by the HKSE, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the SPAC Charter.

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall submit the Registration Statement to the HKSE (on a confidential basis) for purpose of the HK Prospectus Registration, in which connection the Company and SPAC will file with the HKSE financial and other information about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with applicable Laws, the Listing Rules and the Company Charter.

(i) each of the Company and SPAC agrees to furnish to the other party and its Representatives all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, officers, directors, managers, shareholders, and other equityholders and information regarding such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable or as may be reasonably requested in connection with the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement, a Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the Transactions, the Required Company Shareholder Communications, or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of the Company or SPAC to any regulatory Authority (including Nasdaq and the HKSE) in connection with this Agreement, any Additional Agreement and the Transactions (the collectively, “Transaction Filings”);

(ii) each party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and Controlled entities to, make their respective directors, officers and employees, upon reasonable advance notice, available at a reasonable time and location to the Company, SPAC and their respective Representatives in connection with the preparation of the Transaction Filings;

(iii) each party shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, correct any information provided by it for use in the relevant Transaction Filings (and other related materials) if and to the extent that such information is determined to have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws;

(iv) to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, the Company, on the one hand, and SPAC, on the other hand, shall provide the other party and its counsel with (1) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that SPAC or its counsel or the Company or its counsel, as the case may be, may receive from time to time from the SEC, HKSE or their respective staffs with respect to the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement or any other Transaction Filings promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (2) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response of the Company or SPAC, as applicable, to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including, to the extent reasonably practicable, by participating with SPAC or its counsel or the Company or its counsel, as the case may be, in any discussions or meetings with the SEC and/or HKSE; and

(v) for the avoidance of doubt, each of the Company and SPAC shall cooperate and provide the other party (and its counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) the Registration Statement and any other Transaction Filings (including any amendment or supplement thereto) before the same is filed with and/or submitted to the SEC and/or HKSE.

(d) As soon as practicable following the Registration Statement (x) “clearing” comments from the SEC and the HKSE and (y) being declared effective by the SEC after it is approved by the HKSE, SPAC shall (except as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties hereto) (i) within ten (10) Business Days of such clearance, effectiveness and approval, distribute the Proxy Statement to the SPAC Stockholders, (ii) pursuant to the Proxy Statement, call the SPAC Special Meeting in accordance with Delaware Law for a date no later than thirty (30) days following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and (iii) not adjourn the SPAC Special Meeting without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that SPAC shall adjourn the SPAC Special Meeting (1) if, as of the time that the SPAC Special Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient SPAC Shares represented at such meeting (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the SPAC Special Meeting, (2) if, as of the time that the SPAC Special Meeting is originally scheduled, adjournment of the SPAC Special Meeting is necessary to enable the SPAC to solicit additional proxies required to obtain the Required SPAC Stockholder Approval, or (3) to comply with applicable Law; provided further, that for both prior clauses (1) and (2), SPAC shall not adjourn or postpone on more than two (2) occasions and the date of the SPAC Special Meeting is not adjourned or postponed more than an aggregate of thirty (30) consecutive days.

(e) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall prepare and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Depositary Bank to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-6 relating to the registration under the Securities Act for the issuance of the Company Shares (the “Form F-6”).

7.4 SPAC Change of Recommendation.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, at any time prior to obtaining the Required SPAC Stockholder Approval, the SPAC Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that in response to a SPAC Intervening Event, to make a SPAC Change of Recommendation is necessary for the SPAC Board to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the SPAC Board may, prior to obtaining the Required SPAC Stockholder Approval, make a SPAC Change of Recommendation; provided, however, that SPAC shall not be entitled to make, or agree or resolve to make, a SPAC Change of Recommendation unless (i) SPAC delivers to the Company a written notice (a “SPAC Intervening Event Notice”) advising the Company that the SPAC Board proposes to take such action and containing the material facts underlying the SPAC Board’s determination that a SPAC Intervening Event has occurred and that to make a SPAC Change of Recommendation is necessary for the SPAC Board to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (ii) at or after 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the fourth (4th) Business Day immediately following the day on which SPAC delivered the SPAC Intervening Event Notice (such period from the time the SPAC Intervening Event Notice is provided until 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the fourth (4th) Business Day immediately following the day on which SPAC delivered the SPAC Intervening Event Notice (it being understood that any material development with respect to a SPAC Intervening Event shall require a new notice but with an additional three (3) Business Day (instead of four (4) Business Day) period from the date of such notice), the “SPAC Intervening Event Notice Period”), the SPAC Board reaffirms in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor) that to make a SPAC Change of Recommendation is necessary for the SPAC Board to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. If requested by the Company, SPAC shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, during the SPAC Intervening Event Notice Period, engage in good faith negotiations with the Company and its Representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that to make a SPAC Change of Recommendation is not necessary for SPAC Board to comply with the SPAC Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(b) SPAC agrees that, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article X, its obligation to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the SPAC Special Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the approval from the SPAC Stockholders shall not be affected by any SPAC Change of Recommendation, and SPAC agrees to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the SPAC Special Meeting and submit for the approval of its stockholders the matters contemplated by the Proxy Statement (including the SPAC Stockholder Approval Matters), regardless of whether or not there shall be any SPAC Change of Recommendation. For the avoidance of doubt, a SPAC Change of Recommendation will not limit or otherwise affect the agreements and covenants set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement.

7.5 Permitted Equity Financing. During the Interim Period and subject to compliance with the Listing Rules and the Company Charter, the Company may enter into one or more Permitted Equity Subscription Agreements that would constitute a Permitted Equity Financing; provided that unless otherwise agreed by SPAC and the Company in writing, (i) each Permitted Equity Subscription Agreement shall be in substantially the same form as the PIPE Subscription Agreements, (ii) no such Permitted Equity Subscription Agreement shall provide for a purchase price per Company Share of less than US$10 (including any discounts, rebates, equity kickers or promote), and (iii) no such Permitted Equity Subscription Agreement shall provide for the issuance of any Equity Securities of the Company other than the Company Shares.

7.6 Available Funding; Company Capitalization Matters.

(a) Concurrently with the Closing, each party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to procure that (i) the PIPE Transaction (including the Permitted Equity Financing, if any) is consummated pursuant to the terms and conditions of the PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Permitted Equity Subscription Agreements and (ii) holders of the SPAC Shares do not elect to exercise their SPAC Stockholder Redemption Rights as provided for in the SPAC Charter and the Prospectus, such that the condition precedent to Closing under Section 8.3(f) shall be satisfied.

(b) Without limiting Section 7.6(a) above, the SPAC and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and consummate the PIPE Transaction (including the Permitted Equity Financing, if any) on the terms set forth in the PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Permitted Equity Subscription Agreements, as applicable, including using the SPAC’s and the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts to (i) maintain in full force and effect the PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Permitted Equity Subscription Agreements in accordance with their respective terms, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions precedent to the closing of PIPE Transaction and the Permitted Equity Financing set forth in the respective PIPE Subscription Agreements and Permitted Subscription Agreements that are applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and within the control of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and to consummate the PIPE Transaction and the Permitted Equity Financing concurrently with the Closing, (iii) comply on a timely basis with the Company’s obligations under the PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Permitted Subscription Agreements, and (iv) enforce SPAC’s and the Company’s rights under the PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Permitted Subscription Agreements. The Company shall provide the SPAC with copies of all the PIPE Subscription Agreements (including the Permitted Subscription Agreements, if any) and shall give the SPAC prompt written notice upon becoming aware of (A) any breach or default (or any event or circumstance which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any of the PIPE Subscription Agreements and Permitted Subscription Agreements known to the Company, (B) any actual or potential failure to carry out any of the terms of any of the PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Permitted Subscription Agreements, (C) any actual or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened termination or repudiation of any of the PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Permitted Subscription Agreements by any party thereto, or (D) any material dispute or disagreement between or among any of the parties to any of the PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Permitted Subscription Agreements known to the Company or (E) the occurrence of an event or development that the Company reasonably expects to have a material and adverse impact on the ability of the Company to consummate all or any portion of the PIPE Transaction and the Permitted Equity Financing. Without the prior written consent of the SPAC, the Company shall not permit any material amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under, any of the PIPE Subscription Agreements or Permitted Subscription Agreements (including, without limitation, any amendment, modification or waiver that (v) adversely affects the availability of all or any portion of the PIPE Transaction and the Permitted Equity Financing, (w) adversely affects the termination provisions of, or would result in the termination of, any of the PIPE Subscription Agreements or Permitted Subscription Agreements, (x) reduces the aggregate amount of the PIPE Transaction and the Permitted Equity Financing, (y) imposes additional conditions precedent to the availability of the PIPE Transaction and the Permitted Equity Financing or amends or modifies any of the existing conditions to the funding of the PIPE Transaction and the Permitted Equity Financing, or (z) adversely impacts the ability of the SPAC or the Company to enforce its rights against any PIPE Investors or any investors in the Permitted Equity Financing under any of the PIPE Subscription Agreements or Permitted Subscription Agreements), or release or consent to the termination of the obligations of any PIPE Investor or any investors in the Permitted Equity Financing under any of the PIPE Subscription Agreements or Permitted Subscription Agreements known to the Company.

(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no statement herein of any right or remedy shall impair any other right or remedy stated herein or that otherwise may be available.

For and in consideration of the SPAC agreeing to enter into this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise, that it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and hereby agrees that it will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with the SPAC.

11.15 Disclosure Letters. The Company Disclosure Letter and the SPAC Disclosure Letter (including, in each case, any section thereof) referenced herein are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.

Any disclosure made by a party in the applicable Disclosure Letter, or any section thereof, with reference to any section of this Agreement or section of the applicable Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to such other applicable sections of this Agreement or sections of the applicable Disclosure Letter to which it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is responsive to such other section of this Agreement or section of the applicable Disclosure Letter. Certain information set forth in the Disclosure Letters is included solely for informational purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. The disclosure of any information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed to establish a standard of materiality or that the facts underlying such information constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect or a SPAC Material Adverse Effect, as applicable.

11.16 Conflicts and Privilege. The parties agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP (the “Company Counsel”) may have, prior to the Closing, represented the Company and Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement, the Additional Agreements and the Transactions, and has also represented the Company, the Merger Sub and/or their respective Affiliates in connection with matters other than the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement, the Company Counsel will be permitted in the future, after the Closing, to represent the shareholders or holders of other equity interests of the Company on or prior to the Closing or any of their respective directors, members, partners, officers, employees or Affiliates (other than the Surviving Corporation) (each a “Designated Person”) in connection with matters in which such Persons are adverse to the Surviving Corporation, including any disputes arising out of, or related to, this Agreement. The Company and the Merger Sub hereby agree, in advance, to waive (and to cause their respective Affiliates to waive) any actual or potential conflict of interest that may hereafter arise in connection with the Company Counsel’s future representation of any Designated Person in which the interests of such Person are adverse to the interests of the Company and/or the Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, including any matters that arise out of this Agreement or that are substantially related to this Agreement or to any prior representation by the Company Counsel of any Designated Person. The parties acknowledge and agree that, for the purposes of the attorney-client privilege, the Company and each other Designated Person shall be deemed the client of the Company Counsel with respect to the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement and the Additional Agreements. All such communications shall remain privileged after the Closing and the privilege and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall belong solely to the relevant Designated Person, shall be controlled by such Designated Person and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Surviving Corporation.
