Business

On
October 22, 2024, DT Cloud Acquisition Corporation, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands
(“SPAC”), Maius Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the
Cayman Islands (“Maius” or the “Company”), Maius Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd., an exempted company
limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Pubco”) incorporated for the purpose of serving
as the public listed company whose shares shall be traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), Chelsea Merger
Sub 1 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Merger Sub 1”), Chelsea Merger Sub 2 Limited, a Cayman Islands
exempted company (“Merger Sub 2”), and XXW Investment Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the
laws of British Virgin Islands as the Company shareholders’ representative (the “Shareholders’ Representative”),
entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”).
The
Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions (as defined below) were unanimously approved by the boards of directors of SPAC and
Maius. Upon the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, SPAC received an automatic three-month extension of the time to consummate
an initial business combination by February 23, 2025. The consummation of the Transactions are subject to the satisfaction
of certain customary closing conditions as discussed below.
The
Business Combination
Subject
to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, (i) on the date on which the closing actually
occurs (the “Closing Date”), Merger Sub 1 shall be merged with and into SPAC (the “SPAC Merger”),
with the SPAC continuing as the surviving company of the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Pubco (the “SPAC Merger
Surviving Corporation”) and the separate existence of the Merger Sub 1 shall cease, and (ii) on the Closing Date and immediately
following the SPAC Merger, Merger Sub 2 shall be merged with and into Maius (the “Acquisition Merger”, together with
the SPAC Merger, the “Mergers”), with Maius continuing as the surviving company of the Acquisition Merger as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Pubco (the “Surviving Corporation”) and the separate existence of the Merger Sub 2 shall cease.
The Mergers and each of the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and other Ancillary Documents (as defined
below) are collectively referred to as the “Transactions.”
Effect
of SPAC Merger on Merger Sub 1 Share
At
the SPAC Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the SPAC Merger and without any action on the part of any party hereto or the holders of
securities of Merger Sub 1, each share of Merger Sub 1 that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective
Time shall automatically be converted into one ordinary share of par value US$0.0001 of the SPAC Merger Surviving Corporation (and the
shares of the SPAC Merger Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub 1 are so converted shall be the only shares of the
SPAC Merger Surviving Corporation that are issued and outstanding immediately after the SPAC Merger Effective Time).
Effect
of the SPAC Merger on SPAC Securities
Subject
to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the SPAC merger would have the following effects
on SPAC Securities, among others:
| (i) | immediately
prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, each SPAC Unit that is outstanding immediately prior
to the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof
shall be deemed to hold one SPAC Ordinary Share and one SPAC Right per SPAC Unit held thereby
in accordance with the terms of the applicable SPAC Unit (“Unit Separation”),
which underlying securities of SPAC shall be adjusted in accordance with the applicable terms
of the Business Combination Agreement; |
| | |
| (ii) | immediately
following the Unit Separation, all SPAC Units shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically
be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist; and the holders of issued SPAC Units immediately
prior to the Unit Separation shall cease to have any rights with respect to such SPAC Units,
except as provided in the Business Combination Agreement or by law; |
| | |
| (iii) | immediately
prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time and immediately following the Unit Separation, in
accordance with the terms of the applicable SPAC Rights, for such purposes treating it as
if such Business Combination had occurred immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective
Time, and without any action on the part of any holder of a SPAC Right, every seven (7) SPAC
Rights (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes the SPAC Rights held as a result of the
Unit Separation) that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective
Time (A) shall automatically be converted to, and the holder of such SPAC Rights shall be
entitled to receive, one SPAC Ordinary Share; and (B) shall no longer be outstanding and
shall automatically be canceled by the terms thereof and each former holder of SPAC Right
shall cease thereafter to have any other rights in and to such SPAC Rights, except as provided
in the Business Combination Agreement or by Law; |
| (iv) | at
the SPAC Merger Effective Time and immediately following the Unit Separation and the conversion
of the SPAC Rights detailed above, by virtue of the SPAC Merger and without any action on
the part of any party hereto or the holders of securities of the SPAC, each issued and outstanding
SPAC Ordinary Share (including each SPAC Ordinary Share converted from SPAC Rights as described
in the Business Combination Agreement and each SPAC Ordinary Share held as a result of the
Unit Separation, other than the SPAC Excluded Shares, SPAC Redeeming Shares and the SPAC
Dissenting Shares, in each case as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) shall be
converted automatically into one Pubco Ordinary Share (as defined in the Business Combination
Agreement); and |
| | |
| (v) | at
the SPAC Merger Effective Time, all SPAC Ordinary Shares shall cease to be issued and shall
automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and the holders of issued
SPAC Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time, as evidenced by
the register of members of SPAC (the “Stockholder Register”), shall cease
to have any rights with respect to such SPAC Ordinary Shares, except as provided in the Business
Combination Agreement or by law; and each holder of SPAC Ordinary Shares listed on the Stockholder
Register immediately prior to the SPAC Merger Effective Time shall thereafter have the right
to receive the same number of Pubco Ordinary Shares only. |

The
foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms
and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and
the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The
Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of
the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made
for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the
parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement has been included to provide
investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the parties to the
Business Combination Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Business Combination
Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Business Combination Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit
of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including
being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Business
Combination Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the
contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the SEC. Investors should not

of facts or condition of any party to the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information
concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the Business Combination
Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in SPAC’s public disclosures.

hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
The
foregoing (including Exhibits 99.1) is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and will not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section
18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise be subject to the liabilities
of that section, nor will it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, regardless
of any general incorporation language in such filings. This Current Report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any
of the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions
of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained
in this Current Report, including statements as to future results of operations and financial position, planned products and services,
business strategy and plans, objectives of management for future operations of the Company, market size and growth opportunities, competitive
position and technological and market trends, estimated implied pro forma enterprise value of the combined company following the Mergers
(the “Combined Company”), the cash position of the Combined Company following the closing of the Transactions, SPAC
and the Company’s ability to consummate the Transactions, and expectations related to the terms and timing of the Transactions,
as applicable, are forward-looking statements. Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking
words, including “anticipate,” “expect,” “suggests,” “plan,” “believe,” “predict,”
“potential,” “seek,” “future,” “propose,” “continue,” “intend,”
“estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “would,”
“may,” “will,” “forecast” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology
although not all forward-looking statements contain such terminology. All forward-looking statements are based upon current estimates
and forecasts and reflect the views, assumptions, expectations, and opinions of SPAC and the Company as of the date of this current report,
and are therefore subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties, some of which are not currently known to SPAC or the Company
and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Some of these
factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination
of the Business Combination Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against SPAC, the Company or others
following the announcement of the Transactions, the Business Combination Agreement and other ancillary documents with respect thereto;
(3) the amount of redemption requests made by SPAC public shareholders and the inability to complete the Transactions due to the failure
to obtain approval of the shareholders of SPAC, to obtain financing to complete the business combination or to satisfy other conditions
to closing and; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Mergers that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws
or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Mergers; (5) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards
following the consummation of the Transactions; (6) the risk that the Transactions disrupt current plans and operations of the Company
as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Transactions; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions,
which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain
relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the business combination;
(9) risks associated with changes in applicable laws or regulations and the Company’s international operations; (10) the possibility
that the Company or the Combined Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) the
Company’s estimates of expenses and profitability; (12) the Company’s mission, goals and strategies; (13) the Company’s
future business development, financial condition and results of operations; (14) expected growth of the global digital trading and investing
services industry; (15) expected changes in the Company’s revenues, costs or expenditures; (16) the Company’s expectations
regarding demand for and market acceptance of its products and service; (17) the Company’s expectations regarding its relationships
with users, customers and third-party business partners; (18) competition in the Company’s industry; (19) relevant government policies
and regulations relating to the Company’s industry; (20) general economic and business conditions globally and in jurisdictions
where the Company operates; and (21) assumptions underlying or related to any of the foregoing. The foregoing list of factors is not
exhaustive. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section in the annual
report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2023 of SPAC, and the “Risk Factors” section of the Registration Statement
relating to the Transactions which is expected to be filed with the SEC, and other documents filed from time to time with the SEC. These
filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially
from those contained in the forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither SPAC nor the Company presently know
or that SPAC or the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the
forward-looking statements. In light of these factors, risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed
in this Current Report may not occur, and any estimates, assumptions, expectations, forecasts, views or opinions set forth in this Current
Report should be regarded as preliminary and for illustrative purposes only and accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon
the forward-looking statements. SPAC and the Company assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.
Additional
Information and Where to Find It
In
connection with the Transactions, SPAC and the Company intend to cause the Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC, which will
include a proxy statement to be distributed to SPAC’s shareholders in connection with its solicitation for proxies for the vote
by SPAC’s shareholders in connection with the Transactions. You are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus and any other
relevant documents filed with the SEC when they become available because, among other things, they will contain updates to the financial,
industry and other information herein as well as important information about SPAC, the Company and the Transactions. Shareholders of
SPAC will be able to obtain a free copy of the proxy statement when filed, as well as other filings containing information about SPAC,
the Company and the Transactions, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov. This Current Report does not contain
all the information that should be considered concerning the proposed business combination and is not intended to form the basis of any
investment decision or any other decision in respect of the business combination.

No
Offer or Solicitation
This
Current Report is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect
of the Transactions, and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of SPAC, the Company
or the Combined Company, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in
which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of

Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 that has been requested by Pubco, SPAC, the Company or any applicable
withholding agent, or any withholding on compensatory payments made in connection with this Agreement) which notice shall include the
basis for the proposed deduction or withholding, and (b) provide the relevant Company Shareholders and the SPAC Shareholders with a reasonable
opportunity to provide forms or other evidence that would exempt such amounts from such deduction or withholding under applicable Law.
Any amounts so withheld shall be timely and properly paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority by Pubco, SPAC, the Company or the applicable
withholding agent. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all
purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

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

consistent with such characterization. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
parties acknowledge and agree that no party is making any representation or warranty as to the qualification of the Transactions under
Section 351 of the Code or as to the effect, if any, that any transaction consummated on, after or prior to the Closing Date has or may
have on such Transactions. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal
and tax advice with respect to the Transactions, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any Taxes that may arise
if the SPAC Merger and the Acquisition Merger do not qualify as exchanges described in Section 351 of the Code. None of SPAC, the Company,
Pubco, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 or their respective Affiliates has taken or will take any action (or fail to take any action), if such
action (or failure to act), whether before or after the Effective Time, would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Transactions
from qualifying for such Intended Tax treatment.
(b)
Each of SPAC, the Company, Pubco, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and their respective Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns consistent with
the Intended Tax Treatment, and shall take no position inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment (whether in audits, Tax Returns or
otherwise), in each case, unless otherwise required by a Tax Authority as a result of a “determination” within the meaning
of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Each of the parties hereto agrees to promptly notify all other parties of any challenge to the Intended
Tax Treatment by any Governmental Authority.
Section
8.04 Tax Opinion. In the event the SEC requires a tax opinion regarding the Intended Tax Treatment, each party will use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati and Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP (each a “Tax Counsel”)
to deliver such tax opinion. Each party shall use reasonable best efforts to execute and deliver customary Tax representation letters
to the other party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each Tax Counsel.
Section
8.05 PFIC Reporting. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each taxable year of Pubco, Pubco shall (1) determine
its status as a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code (a “PFIC”),
(2) determine the PFIC status of each of its Subsidiaries that at any time during such taxable year was a foreign corporation within
the meaning of Section 7701(a) of the Code (the “Non-U.S. Subsidiaries”), and (3) make such PFIC status determinations
available to the shareholders of Pubco who were shareholders of SPAC as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. If Pubco determines
that it was, or could reasonably be deemed to have been, a PFIC in such taxable year, Pubco shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to provide the statements and information (including without limitation, a PFIC Annual Information Statement meeting the requirements
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-1(g)) necessary to enable Pubco shareholders who were SPAC shareholders as of immediately prior
to the Effective Time and their direct and/or indirect owners that are United States persons (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code) to comply with all provisions of the Code with respect to PFICs, including but not limited to making and complying with
the requirements of a “Qualified Electing Fund” election pursuant to Section 1295 of the Code or filing a “protective
statement” pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-3 with respect to Pubco or any of the Non-U.S. Subsidiaries, as applicable.
Section
8.06 Conflicts. To the extent of any inconsistencies between any provision of this ARTICLE VIII and ARTICLE XI,
the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII shall control.

in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent details are known at such time) and in writing by notice from a non-breaching

the Company shall indemnify and defend each of SPAC and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “SPAC

any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the SPAC Indemnitees based upon or arising out of or by reason of:
(a)
any inaccuracy in or breach of any Company Fundamental Representation, as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date as
though made on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent they refer to another date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will
be determined with reference to such other date);
(b)
any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in ARTICLE V (other than any Company Fundamental Representation),
as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent they refer
to another date, the inaccuracy in or breach of which will be determined with reference to such other date);

Contract or violation of any applicable Law pertaining to wages and hours, worker classification, workers’ compensation, work authorization

Section
11.03 Limitations; Effect of Investigation. The indemnification provided for in Section 11.02 shall be subject to the following
limitations:
(a)
The maximum liability of the Company under this Agreement, including this Article XI or otherwise in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, shall in no event exceed an amount equal to 15.0% of the Closing Date Share Merger Consideration (the
“Indemnifiable Loss Limit”). Further, the SPAC Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this
Section 11.02 unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses to SPAC Indemnitees equals at least $125,000 (the “Basket”),
at which time, subject to the Indemnifiable Loss Limit, the SPAC Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses above
the Basket. The Company shall have no liability or obligation to indemnify the SPAC Indemnitees under this Agreement with respect to
the breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement based on any matter, fact or circumstance known to SPAC
Indemnitees or any of its representatives or disclosed in the information set out in any Schedule to this Agreement.
(b)
Notwithstanding the fact that any SPAC Indemnitee may have the right to assert claims for indemnification under or in respect of more
than one provision of this Agreement in respect of any fact, event, condition or circumstance, no SPAC Indemnitee shall be entitled to
recover the amount of any Loss suffered by such SPAC Indemnitee more than once, regardless of whether such Loss may be as a result of
a breach of more than one representation, warranty, obligation or covenant or otherwise. In addition, any liability for indemnification
hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability, or a breach
of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, as applicable.
(c)
The determination of the amount of Loss arising from (but not the existence of any inaccuracy in or breach of) any representation or
warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Company Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained
in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.
(d)
The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company (or the other Company Parties, as applicable), and the SPAC
Indemnitee’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the SPAC Indemnitee (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the SPAC Indemnitee
or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by
reason of the SPAC Indemnitee’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may
be.
(e)
Payments by the Company pursuant to this ARTICLE XI in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or
damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually
received by the SPAC Indemnitee in respect of any such claim, and each SPAC Indemnitee shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to
recover all amounts payable from an insurer or other third party under any such insurance policy or Contract.
(f)
If the amount to be netted hereunder from any indemnification payment required hereunder is determined after payment by the Company to
a SPAC Indemnitee of any amount otherwise required to be paid as indemnification pursuant hereto, the SPAC Indemnitee shall repay, promptly
after such determination, any amount that the Company would not have had to pay pursuant hereto had such determination been made at the
time of such payment.
(g)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no SPAC Indemnitee, nor any of its Affiliates, shall have any
right to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to, or based on, Taxes to the extent such Taxes (i) are attributable to any
Tax period other than a Tax period (or portion of a Straddle Period) ending on or before the Closing Date other than any such Taxes attributable
to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.15(d), (e), (f) and (i), (ii) are due to the unavailability
in any Tax periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date of any net operating losses, credits, or other Tax attributes
from a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, or (iii) result from any transactions or actions taken by
SPAC or any of its Affiliates (including without limitation the Company) on the Closing Date after the Closing that are not contemplated
by this Agreement.
Section
11.04 Third-Party Claims.
(a)
If any SPAC Indemnitee receives written notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not
a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such SPAC Indemnitee
with respect to which the Company is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the SPAC Indemnitee shall give the Company
reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the SPAC Indemnitee becomes aware of
such Third-Party Claim. The failure to give such reasonably prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Company of its indemnification
obligations, except and only to the extent that the Company incurs material impairment of material rights or defenses by reason of such
failure. Such notice by a SPAC Indemnitee shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, to the extent such details are then
known, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, to the extent such amount
can be reasonably estimated at such time, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the SPAC Indemnitee.
(b)
The Company shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to SPAC, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim
at the Company’s expense and by the Company’s own counsel, and the SPAC Indemnitee shall cooperate in good faith in such
defense; provided that the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of, but shall have the right to participate
in, any such Third-Party Claim to the extent that such Third-Party Claim seeks as a material remedy thereunder an injunction or other
equitable relief against the SPAC Indemnitee. In the event that the Company assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to
Section 11.04(d), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make
counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the SPAC Indemnitee. The SPAC Indemnitee shall have
the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Company’s right to
control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the SPAC Indemnitee; provided
that if in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the SPAC Indemnitee, (A) there are material legal defenses available to a SPAC Indemnitee
that are additional to those available to the Company or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Company and the SPAC Indemnitee
that cannot be waived, the Company shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the SPAC Indemnitee in each jurisdiction
for which the SPAC Indemnitee reasonably determines different counsel is required, subject to the limitations contained herein.
(c)
If the Company elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim, fails to reasonably promptly notify the SPAC Indemnitee in
writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim,
the SPAC Indemnitee may, subject to Section 11.04(d), pay, compromise and defend such Third-Party Claim, and seek indemnification
for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior written
consent of the SPAC Indemnitee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as provided in this Section
11.04(d). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other
obligation on the part of the SPAC Indemnitee and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each SPAC Indemnitee
from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Company desires to accept and agree to such offer,
the Company shall give written notice to that effect to the SPAC Indemnitee. If the SPAC Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer
within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the SPAC Indemnitee may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party
Claim, at its own expense, and in such event, the maximum liability of the Company as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the
amount of such settlement offer. If the SPAC Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such
Third-Party Claim, the Company may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party
Claim. If the SPAC Indemnitee has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 11.04(b), it shall not agree to any settlement without
the written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(e)
The SPAC Indemnitee and the Company shall cooperate in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of a Third-Party Claim, including
by providing reasonable access to each other’s relevant books and records, by preserving such books and records and by making employees
and representatives available on a mutually convenient basis during normal business hours to provide additional information and explanation
of any material provided hereunder. The SPAC Indemnitee and the Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts to avoid production of
confidential information (consistent with applicable Law), and to cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing
any party to a Third-Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privileges.
Section
11.05 Direct Claims. Any Action by a SPAC Indemnitee on account of a Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct
Claim”) shall be asserted by the SPAC Indemnitee giving the Company reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event
not later than thirty (30) days after the SPAC Indemnitee becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written
notice shall not, however, relieve the Company of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Company incurs
material impairment of material rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the SPAC Indemnitee shall describe the Direct
Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, to
the extent such amount can be reasonably estimated at such time, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the SPAC Indemnitee.
The Company shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The SPAC Indemnitee
shall allow the Company and its Representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and
whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim, and the SPAC Indemnitee shall assist the Company’s
investigation by giving such information and assistance as the Company or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If
the Company does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, then the Company shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in
which case the SPAC Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the SPAC Indemnitee on the terms and subject
to the provisions of this Agreement.
Section
11.06 Determination of Loss. Once a Loss required to be paid in cash is agreed to by the Company or adjudicated (as finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable judgment) to be payable in cash by the Company pursuant to this ARTICLE XI,
the Company shall deposit, or cause to be deposited with the applicable SPAC Indemnitee, the amount of such Loss to be satisfied in cash
pursuant hereto by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by SPAC in writing. The parties
hereto agree that should the Company not make the full cash payment within ten (10) days of such agreement or adjudication, as applicable,
any amount payable shall accrue interest from the date of agreement of the Company or adjudication to the date such payment has been
made at the Interest Rate.
Section
11.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The parties agree that all indemnification payments made under this Agreement
shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the aggregate Transaction consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required
by Law.
Section
11.08 Exclusive Remedy. Except as provided in ARTICLE VI or Section 12.07, the indemnification provisions of this
ARTICLE XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the SPAC Indemnitees following the Closing for any and all breaches or alleged
breaches by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, or any other provision of this Agreement;
provided, that nothing in this Section 11.08 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief
to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 12.07 or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s willful
misconduct or Fraud.
Section
11.09 Escrow of Escrow Shares by Escrow Participants. The Company hereby authorizes the Pubco to deliver the Escrow Shares into
escrow (the “Escrow Fund”) pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. For purposes of this Article XI, the Escrow Shares are
valued at $10.00 per share of Pubco Ordinary Shares (the “Escrow Share Value”).
(a)
Escrow Shares; Payment of Dividends; Voting. Any dividends, interest payments, or other distributions of any kind made in respect
of the Escrow Shares will be delivered promptly to the Escrow Agent to be held in escrow (the “Escrow Income”). The
Escrow Participants shall be entitled to vote such Escrow Participants’ Escrow Shares on any matters to come before the shareholders
of the Pubco. It is intended that for U.S. federal income tax purposes that while the Escrow Shares are held by the Escrow Agent, the
Escrow Participants shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Shares, and to the extent required by Law, the Escrow Agent shall report
in a manner consistent with such treatment.
(b)
Distribution of Escrow Shares. At the times provided for in Section 11.09(d), the Escrow Shares shall be distributed to
the Escrow Participants. Pubco will take such action as may be necessary to cause such certificates to be issued in the names of the
appropriate persons. Certificates representing Escrow Shares so issued that are subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities
laws will bear a legend to that effect. No fractional shares shall be released and delivered from the Escrow Fund and all fractional
shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
(c)
Assignability. Other than for estate planning purposes, no Escrow Shares or any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, sold,
assigned or transferred, including by operation of law, by the Escrow Participants or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process
in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of the Escrow Participants, prior to the delivery to such Escrow Participants of the Escrow
Fund by the Escrow Agent as provided herein.
(d)
Release from Escrow Fund. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days, following expiration of the
Survival Period (the “Release Date”), the Escrow Shares will be released from escrow to the Escrow Participants less
the number of Escrow Shares (at an assumed value equal to the Escrow Share Value per Escrow Share) reasonably necessary to serve as security
for Losses set forth in any Indemnification Notice delivered by the SPAC Indemnitees prior to the expiration of the Survival Period that
remain pending and unresolved. Prior to the Release Date, the Shareholders’ Representative and the SPAC shall jointly issue to
the Escrow Agent a certificate executed by each of them instructing the Escrow Agent to release such number of Indemnification Escrow
Shares determined in accordance with this Section 10.3(d). Promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days, following
the resolution in accordance with the provisions of this Article X of any claim(s) for indemnification that remain unresolved
as of the Release Date the Shareholders’ Representative and the SPAC shall jointly issue to the Escrow Agent a certificate executed
by each of them instructing the Escrow Agent to release to the Escrow Participants the number of Escrow Shares retained in escrow following
the resolution of such claim(s) and not released to SPAC.
11.10
Payment of Indemnification. In the event that any SPAC Indemnitee is entitled to any indemnification for any Losses pursuant to
this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall make or cause to be
made the indemnification payment by (i) delivering a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares from the Escrow Shares (at an assumed value equal
to the Escrow Share Value per Escrow Share) to such SPAC Indemnitee, and (2) causing Mingfeng Shi and Xingwei Xue to deliver a number
of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the remaining portion of the indemnification for any Loss, if applicable, to such SPAC Indemnitee,
in each case, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XI. Any payments to SPAC Indemnitees from the Escrow Shares
pursuant to this Section 11.10 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Closing Date Share Merger Consideration payable to the Escrow
Participants for U.S. federal income tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law.
ARTICLE
XII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section
12.01 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which the parties are party constitute the entire agreement
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with
respect to such matters, except for the Confidentiality Agreement which will remain in full force and effect until the Closing. The parties
each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length
negotiations, and all parties specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify
any expectation beyond that of an ordinary buyer and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction. The sole and exclusive
remedies for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including any representations and warranties set forth herein,
made in connection herewith or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement) or any claim or cause of action otherwise arising out of
or related to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be those remedies available at law or in equity for breach of contract against
the parties only (as such contractual remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement,
including by Section 11.08 if the Closing occurs), and the parties hereby agree that no party shall have any remedies or causes
of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) for any statements, communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, or representations
or warranties not explicitly set forth in this Agreement, except in the case of willful misconduct or Fraud. All representations and
warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein.
Further, no Person is asserting the truth of any factual statements contained in any representation and warranty set forth in this Agreement;
rather, the parties have agreed that should any representations and warranties of any party prove inaccurate, the other party shall have
the specific remedies herein specified as the exclusive remedy therefor, except in the case of willful misconduct or Fraud.

Section
12.03 Amendment; Modification and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived if, and only if,
such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment or modification, by SPAC and the Shareholders’
Representative, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, however,
that after the adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Company Shareholder Approval, no amendment shall be made that by Law requires
further approval by the Company Shareholders without obtaining such requisite approval under the Cayman Companies Act, except to the
extent the approval of the Company Shareholders can be given by the Shareholders’ Representative under applicable Law. No failure
or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or
partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
Section
12.04 Successors and Assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under it may be directly
or indirectly assigned, delegated, sublicensed or transferred by any of the parties, in whole or in part, to any other Person (including
any bankruptcy trustee) by operation of law or otherwise, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, without the prior written consent of
the other parties, and any attempted or purported assignment in violation of this Section 12.04 will be null and void. Subject
to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by each of the parties and
their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and assigns (including, with respect to any trust,
any additional or successor trustees of any such trust).
Section
12.05 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits,
remedies, obligations or liabilities upon any Person other than the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors,
legal representatives and permitted assigns; provided, however, that the provisions of ARTICLE XI are intended to be for the benefit
of, and shall be enforceable by, each Covered Person and each SPAC Covered Person, as applicable, and each such Person’s heirs,
legatees, representatives, successors and assigns, it being expressly agreed that such Persons shall be third-party beneficiaries of
such sections.
Section
12.06 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a)
This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution and delivery or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause
of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement) shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without regard to its applicable principles of conflicts
of laws that might require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
(b)
Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction and
venue within the State of New York (“New York Courts”), and any appellate court from any decision thereof, in any
Action that may be based upon, arise of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution and delivery or performance of this
Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of any such Action shall be heard and determined in the New York Courts, (ii) waives,
to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any Action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution and delivery or performance
of this Agreement in the New York Courts, including any objection based on its place of incorporation or domicile, (iii) waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action in any such court
and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. Each of the parties consents and agrees that service of process, summons,
notice or document for any action permitted hereunder may be delivered by registered mail addressed to it at the applicable address set
forth in Section 12.02 or in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.
(c)
EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO
INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH
PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY DISPUTE BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION
OR VALIDITY THEREOF OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NONE OF THE OTHER
PARTIES NOR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS HAVE REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTIES WOULD NOT, IN
THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS
WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS OF THIS Section 12.06(c). ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF
THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
Section
12.07 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate
remedy at law in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise
breached or threatened to be breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such failure
to perform or breach. It is accordingly agreed that without posting bond or other undertaking, the parties shall be entitled to seek
injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which
they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event that any such action is brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement,
no party will allege, and each party hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. The parties
further agree that (a) by seeking any remedy provided for in this Section 12.07, a party shall not in any respect waive its right
to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such party under this Agreement and (b) nothing contained in this Section
12.07 shall require any party to institute any action for (or limit such party’s right to institute any action for) specific
performance under this Section 12.07 before exercising any other right under this Agreement. If, prior to the Outside Date, any
party brings any Action in accordance with this Agreement to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof
against any other party, the Outside Date shall be automatically extended (i) for the period during which such Action is pending, plus
ten (10) Business Days or (ii) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action on good cause shown,
as the case may be.
Section
12.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to constitute an
original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement, and may be delivered by facsimile or other electronic means intended
to preserve the original graphic or pictorial appearance of a document.
Section
12.09 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application
thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is found by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid
or unenforceable, (a) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not
be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability
of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction and (b) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted
therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision.
If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as would
be enforceable.
Section
12.10 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement are consummated, all the SPAC Transaction Expenses shall be borne by SPAC, and all the Company Transaction Expenses shall be
borne by the applicable Company Party; provided, however, that if the Closing occurs, each party’s direct and indirect costs
and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the SPAC Transaction Expenses
and the Company Transaction Expenses, will be paid from the capital of Pubco.
Section
12.11 Shareholders’ Representative.
(a)
In addition to the other rights and authority granted to the Shareholders’ Representative elsewhere in this Agreement and except
as expressly provided herein, by participating in the execution and delivery of this Agreement and receiving the benefits thereof, including
the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Company Shareholder
(which, for the purpose of this Section 12.11, shall also mean each Company Shareholder) hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints Shareholders’
Representative as agent, attorney-in-fact and representative to act for and on behalf of such Company Shareholder regarding any matter
under this Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and
stead of such Company Shareholder and to act on behalf of such Company Shareholder with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby,
including in any amendment of or dispute, litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement and to do or refrain from doing all such
further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as the Shareholders’ Representative shall determine to be necessary
or appropriate in conjunction with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This power of attorney and all authority hereby
conferred is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and shall not terminate or otherwise be affected by the death, disability, incompetence,
bankruptcy or insolvency of any Company Shareholder. Except as expressly provided herein, no Company Shareholder shall directly have
the right to exercise any right hereunder, it being understood and agreed that all such rights shall only be permitted to be exercised
by the Shareholders’ Representative on behalf of the Company Shareholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Shareholders’ Representative has full power and authority, on behalf of each Company Shareholder and such Company Shareholder’s
successors and assigns, to: (i) interpret the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the documents to be executed and delivered by
the Company Shareholders in connection herewith, (ii) execute and deliver and receive deliveries of all agreements, certificates, statements,
notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments, and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection
with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) receive service of process in connection with any claims
under this Agreement, (iv) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, assume the defense of Third-Party Claims,

and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of
the foregoing, (v) give and receive notices and communications, (viii) assert the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Company
Shareholders with respect to any communications that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated hereby, (ix) deliver to SPAC
any and all Ancillary Agreements executed by the Company Shareholders and deposited with the Shareholders’ Representative, upon
the Shareholders’ Representative’s determination that the conditions to Closing have been satisfied or waived and (x) take
all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Representative on behalf of the Company Shareholders
in connection with this Agreement.
(b)
Service by the Shareholders’ Representative shall be without compensation except for the reimbursement by the Company Shareholders
of out-of-pocket expenses and indemnification specifically provided herein.
(c)
Notwithstanding Section 12.11(a), if the Shareholders’ Representative believes that he or she requires further authorization
or advice from any Company Shareholder on any matters concerning this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby, the Shareholders’
Representative will be entitled, but not obligated, to seek such further authorization solely from such Company Shareholder.
(d)
From and after the date hereof, but except as expressly provided herein, each of SPAC and the Company is entitled to deal exclusively
with the Shareholders’ Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. A decision,
act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Representative constitutes a decision of all the Company Shareholders in respect
of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Such decision, act, consent or instruction is final, binding and conclusive
upon each Company Shareholder, and each of SPAC and the Company shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any
kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Company Shareholder by the Shareholders’
Representative, and on any other decision, act, consent or instruction taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Company Shareholder
by the Shareholders’ Representative, as being fully binding upon such Person. Notices or communications to or from the Shareholders’
Representative will constitute notice to or from each Company Shareholder.
(e)
The Shareholders’ Representative may resign at any time, and may appoint a new Shareholders’ Representative to act in his
or her stead, and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of the Company Shareholders holding a majority
of the Company Ordinary Shares as of the date hereof; provided, however, in no event shall the Shareholders’ Representative
be removed without the Company Shareholders holding a majority of the Company Ordinary Shares having first appointed a new Shareholders’
Representative who shall assume such duties immediately upon the removal of the Shareholders’ Representative. In the event of the
death, incapacity, or removal of the Shareholders’ Representative, a new Shareholders’ Representative shall be appointed
by the vote or written consent of the Company Shareholders holding a majority of the Company Ordinary Shares as of the date hereof and
a copy of the written consent or minutes appointing such new Shareholders’ Representative shall be sent to SPAC, such appointment
to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such notice is received by SPAC; provided that
until such notice is received, SPAC and the Company shall be entitled to rely on the decisions and actions of the prior Shareholders’
Representative as described in this Section 12.11.
(f)
The Shareholders’ Representative shall hold and be entitled to use the Shareholders’ Representative Fund, defined below,
for the purposes of paying for, or reimbursing the Shareholders’ Representative for, any and all costs and expenses (including
counsel and legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Shareholders’ Representative in connection with the protection, defense, enforcement
or other exercise or fulfillment of any rights or obligations under this Agreement (collectively, the “Shareholders’ Representative
Expenses”). The Shareholders’ Representative shall hold the Shareholders’ Representative Fund in a segregated bank
account and shall not comingle it with any other funds (the “Representative Fund”). At such time as the Shareholders’
Representative deems appropriate, the Shareholders’ Representative shall distribute to the Company Shareholders (in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Portion) the remaining Shareholders’ Representative Fund. The Shareholders’ Representative
will be promptly reimbursed by the Company Shareholders (based on their respective Pro Rata Portion) for Shareholders’ Representative
Expenses not covered by the Shareholders’ Representative Fund upon demand.
(g)
The Company Shareholders, severally and not jointly (based on their Pro Rata Portion), agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholders’
Representative (in his or her capacity as such) for and from any Loss or Liability he or she may incur or be subject to as a result of
his duties hereunder or any of his actions or inactions as such, except as may result from the Shareholders’ Representative’s
actions that would constitute fraud or willful misconduct.
(h)
The Shareholders’ Representative shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on behalf of any Company Shareholder shall otherwise exist
against the Shareholders’ Representative. The Shareholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any Company Shareholder
relating to the performance of the Shareholders’ Representative’s duties or exercise of any rights under this Agreement for
any errors in judgment, negligence, oversight, breach of duty or otherwise except to the extent it is finally determined in a court of
competent jurisdiction by clear and convincing evidence that the actions taken or not taken by the Shareholders’ Representative
constituted actual fraud or were taken or not taken in bad faith. The Shareholders’ Representative shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Company Shareholders against all losses, including costs of defense, paid or incurred in connection with any action,
suit, proceeding or claim to which the Shareholders’ Representative is made a party by reason of the fact that the Shareholders’
Representative was acting as the Shareholders’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Shareholders’
Representative shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder to the extent it is finally determined in a court of competent jurisdiction
by clear and convincing evidence that the actions taken or not taken by the Shareholders’ Representative constituted actual fraud
or were taken or not taken in bad faith. The Shareholders’ Representative shall be protected in acting upon any notice, statement
or certificate believed by the Shareholders’ Representative to be genuine and to have been furnished by the appropriate Person
and in acting or refusing to act in good faith on any matter. The Shareholders’ Representative, solely in his capacity as such,
shall not be liable to SPAC or any Affiliate of SPAC by reason of this Agreement or the performance of the Shareholders’ Representative’s
duties hereunder or otherwise. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Shareholders’
Representative or the termination of this Agreement.
Section
12.12 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Company Shareholder and the Company acknowledge
and agree, both for themselves and their respective Shareholders and Affiliates, that no recourse under, based upon, arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any documents or agreements referenced herein may be had by any of them against any Affiliate of SPAC not
a party to such document or agreement, any other Person or any such Affiliate’s or other Person’s respective direct or indirect
former, current or future, Affiliates, general or limited partners, Shareholders, controlling persons, equityholders, managers, managing
companies, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, Representatives, advisers, successors or assigns, actual or prospective financing
sources or arrangers, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute,
regulation or other applicable Law.
Section
12.13 Company Disclosure Schedule.
(a)
The “Company Disclosure Schedule” means the disclosure schedules delivered by the Company to SPAC and accepted by
SPAC on the date hereof in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (and as the same may be modified from time to
time in accordance with the terms hereof).
(b)
It is specifically acknowledged that the Company Disclosure Schedule may expressly provide exceptions to a particular Section of ARTICLE
V notwithstanding that the Section does not state “except as set forth in Section ‘__’ of the Company Disclosure Schedule”
or words of similar effect.
(c)
Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any
specific item in the Company Disclosure Schedule is intended to vary the definition of “Company Material Adverse Effect”
or to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material. Unless this
Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained
in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Company Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that such item or matter,
or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business.
(d)
Each Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule is qualified in its entirety by reference to specific provisions of this Agreement and
does not constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations, warranties or covenants of any party, except as and
to the extent provided in this Agreement. Certain matters set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule are included for informational
purposes only notwithstanding that, because they do not rise above applicable materiality thresholds or otherwise, they may not be required
by the terms of this Agreement to be set forth herein. All attachments to the Company Disclosure Schedule are incorporated by reference
into the Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule in which they are referenced.
Section
12.14 No Rescission. Following the Closing, no party shall be entitled to rescind the transactions contemplated hereby by virtue
of any failure of any party’s representations and warranties herein to have been true or any failure by any party to perform its
obligations hereunder.
Section
12.15 Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the SPAC Prospectus. Each Company Party acknowledges and agrees and understands
that SPAC has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering
(the “IPO”) and from a private placement occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time
to time thereon) for the benefit of SPAC’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by SPAC’s underwriters,
the “Public Stockholders”), and SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances
described in the SPAC Prospectus. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Company Party hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its representatives
that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company Parties nor any of its Representatives
does now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account
or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether
such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship
between SPAC or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and, the Company Parties or any of their Representatives, on the other hand,
or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability
(any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Trust Account Released Claims”). Each Company
Party, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims
that it or any of its respective Representatives may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in
the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, or Contracts with SPAC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse
against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement
with SPAC or its Affiliates). For the avoidance of doubt, (a) nothing in this Section 12.15 shall serve to limit or prohibit any Company
Party’s right to pursue a claim (including for fraud) against SPAC for legal relief against monies or other assets of SPAC held
outside the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the Transaction
(including a claim for SPAC to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of
the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to any exercise of the SPAC Shareholder Redemption Right by any SPAC Shareholder)
to SPAC in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) and (b) nothing in this Section 12.15 shall serve to
limit or prohibit any claims that a Company Party may have in the future against SPAC’s (or its successors’) assets or funds
that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been
purchased or acquired with any such funds, in each case following Closing). This Section 12.15 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement for any reason.

AGREEMENT
1.

sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant

In furtherance of the foregoing, during the Lock-up Period, the Pubco will (i) place an irrevocable stop order on all the Lock-up Shares,

of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or to the estates of any of the foregoing; (b) transfers by bona fide

Agreement shall remain subject to this Agreement, (f) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the

limitation, the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence) to the same extent as if the transferee/donee were a party hereto;
and (ii) each party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) shall not be required by law (including without limitation the disclosure
requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to make, and shall agree to not voluntarily make, any filing or public announcement
of the transfer or disposition prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.
(f)
If any Prohibited Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Prohibited Transfer shall
be null and void ab initio, and Pubco shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Lock-up Shares as one of its equity
holders for any purpose.

any provision of this Agreement or the Business Combination Agreement or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any person in
connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry into the Business Combination Agreement.
5.
Waiver. The Sponsor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any rights of appraisal, dissenter’s rights and any similar
rights relating to the Business Combination Agreement and the consummation by the parties of the transactions contemplated thereby, including

right to vote or share in the voting of any SPAC Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of SPAC after the date of this Agreement

of SPAC and the Company as of the date of this press release, and are therefore subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties,
some of which are not currently known to SPAC or the Company and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed
or implied by such forward-looking statements. Some of these factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event,

proceedings that may be instituted against SPAC, the Company or others following the announcement of the Transaction, the Business Combination

cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. There may be additional
risks that neither SPAC nor the Company presently know or that SPAC or the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause
actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In light of these factors, risks and uncertainties,
the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this press release may not occur, and any estimates, assumptions, expectations,
forecasts, views or opinions set forth in this press release should be regarded as preliminary and for illustrative purposes only and
accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. SPAC and the Company assume no obligation and do
not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise,
except as required by law.
