| BORROWER: ZSPACE, INC., a Delaware Corporation | DATE: NOVEMBER 3, 2022 |
This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the date set forth above (the “Effective Date”) by and between Fiza Investments Limited, an entity organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (together with its assigns, “Lender”), and the borrower(s) named above (each and collectively, “Borrower”).
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given them on Schedule C.
WHEREAS, Borrower is need of funds for an amount of up to $5,000,000 (“Loan Amount”) to be used for the purposes set out in this Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Lender has agreed to provide the Loan Amount as a secured loan on the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Lender and the Borrower are entering into this Agreement to record the terms and conditions in respect of the provision and repayment of the Loan Amount.
The parties agree as follows:
1. Loan. Lender will make extensions of credit or other financial accommodations for Borrower’s benefit in multiple tranches up to the Loan Amount as set out in Schedule A (collectively, the “Loans”) for general corporate purposes and to meet working capital requirements of the Borrower that are not prohibited by this Agreement, and Borrower promises to pay Lender the amount of the Loan and other debts, principal, interest, Lender Expenses and other amounts Borrower owes Lender now or later, including interest, premiums and fees accruing after any Insolvency Proceedings begins, and debts, liabilities, or obligations of Borrower assigned to Lender pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any Loan Document and as set forth on Schedule A. Lender’s obligation to make the Loans is subject to its receipt of the agreements, documents and fees it reasonably requires, including without limitation the agreements, documents and fees set forth on Schedule A.
2. Security Interest. As security for all present and future Obligations and for Xxxxxxxx’s performance for each of its duties hereunder, Borrower grants Xxxxxx a continuing security interest in all of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral. In the event there is more than one Borrower, each and every Borrower entity’s obligations hereunder shall be joint and several with the obligations of the other Borrower entities.
3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Borrower. Borrower represents, warrants and covenants to Lender as follows, as of the Effective Date and with respect to covenants, for so long as this Agreement is in effect or any Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) remain outstanding:
3.1 Corporate Existence; Authority. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries is and will continue to be, duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state where such qualification or licensing is necessary, except for jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement and all other related documents have been duly and validly authorized, do not conflict with Borrower’s charter documents, corporate governance documents and/or shareholder agreements, third party loan agreement or other material contractual obligation of the Company (or any similar equivalents), and do not constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound.

3.2 Collateral. Lender has and will at all times continue to have a perfected security interest in all of the Collateral (including, but not limited to, all Intellectual Property) except for Permitted Liens, on a senior basis to the obligations in respect of and under the Pre-Existing Agreements. Xxxxxxxx has, and will continue to have, good title to the Collateral, free of any liens except Permitted Liens. Xxxxxxxx will immediately advise Lender in writing of any material loss or damage to the Collateral. If, at any time, Xxxxxxxx has knowledge that it shall have acquired a material commercial tort claim, Borrower shall promptly provide written notice thereof to Lender and grant to Lender in writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof. Borrower represents that all of its Intellectual Property, comprising (i) copyrights, copyright applications, copyright registrations and mask works and (ii) patents, patent applications, patent registrations, and (iii) trademarks, trademark applications, trademark registrations, service marks and service mark applications.
3.3 Financial Matters.

Since the last date covered by any such statement delivered to Lender, there has been no further material impairment in the financial condition or business of Borrower. Borrower will provide Lender with all financial reports as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, as well as any other financial information reasonably requested by Xxxxxx from time to time, including budgets, projections and plans.
3.4 Statement of Xxxxxxxx’s Information. All of Xxxxxxxx’s information provided to the Lender is true and correct as of the Effective Date in all material respects, and Borrower shall provide written notice to Lender of any material changes within the prescribed periods of time set forth therein.
3.5 Taxes; Legal Compliance. Borrower has filed, and will file, when due (subject to any applicable extensions), all tax returns and reports required by applicable law.

Borrower has complied, and will comply, in all material respects, with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
3.6 Insurance. Borrower shall at all times insure, at its own cost and expense, all of the tangible personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance as is customary for companies similarly situated to Borrower. All property policies will have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Xxxxxx as a lender loss payee and all liability policies will show Lender as an additional insured and provide that the insurer must give Lender at least twenty (20) days’ (ten (10) days’ for nonpayment of premium) notice before canceling its policy.
3.7 Access. Upon three (3) Business Days’ prior notice, Lender or its agents shall have the right to inspect the Collateral where such Collateral is located from time to time and to audit and copy Borrower’s books and records during Borrower’s regular business hours.

No termination shall in any way affect or impair any security interest or other right or remedy of Lender, nor shall any such termination relieve Borrower of any obligation to Lender, until all of the Obligations have been paid and performed in full. So long as Borrower has satisfied the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which by their terms, are to survive termination of this Agreement, but, for the avoidance of doubt, including the Repayment provisions of Schedule A), this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Maturity Date by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Lender. Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), Xxxxxx’s liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall automatically revert to Borrower and upon Xxxxxxxx’s request, Lender shall, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, promptly take such steps to evidence the release of its liens in the Collateral as Borrower shall reasonably request.

Xxxxxx may exercise the power of attorney to sign Xxxxxxxx’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Xxxxxx’s appointment as Xxxxxxxx’s attorney in fact, and all of Xxxxxx’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been fully repaid and performed. All of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other agreement between Lender and Borrower are cumulative. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Lender on which Borrower is liable. In the event there is more than one Borrower, the Obligations of each Borrower entity hereunder shall be independent of the Obligations of any other Borrower entities or any security for the Obligations, and Lender may proceed in the enforcement hereof independently of any other right or remedy that Lender may at any time hold with respect to the Obligations or any security or other guarantee therefor. In the event there is more than one Borrower, Lender may file a separate action or actions against any Borrower entity hereunder, whether action is brought and prosecuted with respect to any security or against any Borrower entity or any other Person.

8. General.
8.1 No Waivers; Amendments. The failure of Lender at any time to require Borrower to comply strictly with any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not waive Lender’s right to later demand and receive strict compliance.

The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended except in a writing signed by Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx.

Nothwithstanding the prior sentence, the maximum amount of reimburseable fees for preparation and negotiation of this Agreement shall be $25,000. If, subject to the foregoing, Lender or Borrower files any lawsuit against the other predicated on a breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing party.

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

9. Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information (including Xxxxxxxx’s financial statements and all information and data therein), Lender will exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (i) to Lender’s Subsidiaries or affiliates; (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loan (provided that Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement of the terms of this provision); (iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (iv) as required in connection with Xxxxxx’s examinations and audits; (v) as Lender considers appropriate in exercising remedies under this Agreement; or (vi) to third-party service providers of Lender so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Lender with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that is either: (a) in the public domain or in Xxxxxx’s possession when disclosed to Lender or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a result of its disclosure by Xxxxxx in violation of this Agreement) after disclosure to Lender; or (b) disclosed to Lender by a third party, if Xxxxxx does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.
10. Taxes.
10.1 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, then the Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
10.2 Payment of Other Taxes by Xxxxxxxx. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the applicable Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
10.3 Indemnification by Xxxxxxxx. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, promptly after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
10.4 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a governmental authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall deliver to the applicable recipient the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.

10.5 Status of Lenders. The Borrower shall provide the Lender (or any transferee of a Lender) with written notice of any payments to be made under any Loan Document potentially subject to withholding Tax as soon as reasonably practicable but in all cases at least fifteen (15) days in advance thereof. The Lender (or any transferee of a Lender) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation (including IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8) reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Lender (or transferee of a Lender), if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than the documentation described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the following sentence) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Lender. The Lender (or any transferee of a Lender) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower two copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), as applicable, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party; (ii) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto); (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate in substantially the form of Schedule J to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto); (iv) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, together with forms and certificates described in clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to the beneficial owner (and additional IRS Form W-8IMYs) as applicable or (v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Lender provides documentation described in clause (iii) above in advance of amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender, any U.S. withholding Taxes imposed on such amounts shall not be Excluded Taxes, regardless of whether such documentation is sufficient to eliminate U.S. withholding Taxes, unless the Borrower has knowledge or reason to know of any facts that would render such documentation unreliable for purposes of Section 1441(c)(9) of the Code. If the Borrower determines it has knowledge or reason to know of any facts that would render such documentation unreliable, the Borrower shall, prior to deducting or withholding any Excluded Taxes from any amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender, notify such Lender in writing of such determination, specifying the specific factual basis therefor. The Borrower and such Lender shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts (including sharing information relevant to the Lender’s statements in the documentation described in clause (iii)) to resolve any such matter in a manner that permits such payments to be made without deduction for, or withholding of, any such Taxes. If the Borrower and such Lender are unable to so resolve such matter, the parties shall engage an independent third-party tax counsel mutually acceptable to the parties to determine whether the Borrower has knowledge of or reason to know that such documentation described in clause (iii) is unreliable or whether the Borrower may on any basis make such payments without deduction for, or withholding of, any such Taxes, and such determination by tax counsel shall be final. The costs, fees and expenses of tax counsel shall be borne by the non-prevailing party.
10.6 FATCA. If a payment made to the Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE FOR LOANS
[Note No. X-XXX]
| US$[__] [NTD: To be broken out by tranche, as appropriate]] | ____________________, 20__ |
[San Francisco, California]
The undersigned (“Borrower”) promises to pay to [__], an entity organized under the laws of the Cayman islands or its registered assigns (“Lender”), at its office at c/o Gulf Islamic Investments LLC, PO Box 000000, Xxxxx Xxxxxx 0, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of [__], with interest thereon from the date hereof until maturity, whether scheduled or accelerated, at a fixed rate per annum of thirteen percentage points (13%) (the “Designated Rate”), plus the Default Rate (if applicable), plus all other amounts according to the payment schedule described herein.
This Promissory Note (this “Promissory Note”) is one of the Promissory Notes referred to in, and is entitled to all the benefits of, the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of [_________ __], 20[__], between Borrower and Lender (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Agreement”). Each capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement. The Agreement contains provisions for the acceleration of the maturity of this Promissory Note upon the happening of certain stated events.
This Promissory Note shall be payable as follows:
Any and all unpaid expenses, fees, any accrued and unpaid interest (including default interest) and principal, shall be due and payable on the earlier of the (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) an Event of Default, (iii) the consummation of the business combination in accordance with and pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement; and (iv) any Change of Control or other liquidation event, or other repayment, prepayment or termination date of this Note.
This Promissory Note may be prepaid only as permitted in the Agreement. In the event there is more than one Borrower, each and every Borrower entity’s obligations hereunder shall be joint and several with the obligations of the other Borrower entities.
Any unpaid payments of principal or interest on this Promissory Note shall bear interest from their respective maturities, whether scheduled or accelerated, at a rate per annum equal to the three percent (3%) above the Designated Rate, or such lesser amount designated by Lender in its sole discretion. Borrower shall pay such interest on demand.
Interest, charges and fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, which results in higher interest, charge or fee payments than if a 365-day year were used. In no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay interest, charges or fees at a rate in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect.
-1-
If Borrower is late in making any payment under this Promissory Note by more than five (5) Business Days, Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay, if required by Xxxxxx in its sole discretion, a “late charge” of two percent (2%) of the installment due, but not less than fifty dollars ($50) for any one such delinquent payment. This late charge may be charged by Xxxxxx for the purpose of defraying the expenses incidental to the handling of such delinquent amounts. Borrower acknowledges that such late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date of this Promissory Note and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that will be sustained by Xxxxxx due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. Xxxxxxxx further agrees that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid or to declare a default under this Promissory Note or any of the other Loan Documents or from exercising any other rights and remedies of Lender.
This Promissory Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflict of laws principles.
