ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Indemnification of Purchaser. The Company (solely with respect to claims made under this Section 10.1 prior to the Closing), and the Shareholders hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, each of its Affiliates and each of its and their respective members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, attorneys and agents and permitted assignees (the “Purchaser Indemnitees”), against and in respect of any and all out-of-pocket loss, cost, payment, demand, penalty, forfeiture, expense, liability, judgment, deficiency or damage, and diminution in value or claim (including actual costs of investigation and attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses) (all of the foregoing collectively, “Losses”) incurred or sustained by any Purchaser Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with (a) any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment or the alleged breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company contained herein or in any of the Additional Agreements or any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto, (b) any actions by any third parties with respect to the Business (including breach of contract claims, violations of warranties, trademark infringement, privacy violations, torts or consumer complaints) for any period on or prior to the Closing Date (c) the violation of any Laws in connection with or with respect to the operation of the Business on prior to the Closing Date, (d) any claims by any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any period or event occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, or relating to the termination of employee’s employment status in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the termination, amendment or curtailment of any employee benefit plans, (e) the failure of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay any Taxes to any Taxing Authority or to file any Tax Return with any Taxing Authority with respect to any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, or (f) any sales, use, transfer or similar Tax imposed on Purchaser or its Affiliates as a result of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The total payments made by the Shareholders to the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to Losses shall not exceed US$30,000,000 (the “Indemnifiable Loss Limit”), except that the Indemnifiable Loss Limit shall not apply with respect to any Losses relating to or arising under or in connection with breaches of Sections 4.1 (Corporate Existence and Power), 4.2 (Authorization), 4.5 (Capitalization), 4.6 (Certificate of Formation and Operating Agreement) 4.23 (Employees), 4.24 (Employment Matters), 4.25 (Withholding), 4.26 (Employee Benefits and Compensation), 4.29 (Tax Matters), or 4.31 (Finder’s Fees) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) or any of clauses (b) through (f) of this Section 10.1, provided that Losses with respect to such Fundamental Representations and clauses (b) through (f) of this Section 10.1 shall be limited the Closing Payment Shares. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 10.1, any Losses incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee arising out of (x) the failure of any Shareholder to perform any covenant or obligation to be performed by it at or after the Closing Date or (y) the fraud or willful misconduct of a Shareholder, shall not, in any such case, be subject to or applied against the Indemnifiable Loss Limit; provided, however, that in the case of clause (y), such Shareholder shall be severally liable for any and all Losses arising from such fraud or willful misconduct that exceed the Indemnifiable Loss Limit. Any liability incurred by the Shareholders pursuant to the terms of this Article X shall be paid first by the return for cancellation of the Escrow Shares in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

10.2 Procedure. The following shall apply with respect to all claims by any Purchaser Indemnitee (an “Indemnified Party”) for indemnification:

(a) An Indemnified Party shall give the Shareholders’ Representative or Purchaser, as applicable, prompt notice (an “Indemnification Notice”) of any third-party action with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1 or 10.2 (a “Third-Party Claim”), which shall describe in reasonable detail the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. The failure to give the Indemnification Notice shall not impair any of the rights or benefits of such Indemnified Party under Sections 10.1 or 10.2, except to the extent such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of the Shareholders or the Purchaser, as applicable (any of such parties, “Indemnifying Parties”) to defend such claim or increases the amount of such liability.

(b) In the case of any Third-Party Claims as to which indemnification is sought by any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the sole expense and liability of the Indemnifying Parties, to exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Parties, within a reasonable time after the giving of an Indemnification Notice by the Indemnified Party (but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter), shall (i) deliver a written confirmation to such Indemnified Party that the indemnification provisions of Sections 10.1 or 10.2 are applicable to such action and the Indemnifying Parties will indemnify such Indemnified Party in respect of such action pursuant to the terms of Sections 10.1 or 10.2 and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, shall do so without asserting any challenge, defense, limitation on the Indemnifying Parties liability for Losses, counterclaim or offset, (ii) notify such Indemnified Party in writing of the intention of the Indemnifying Parties to assume the defense thereof, and (iii) retain legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) If the Indemnifying Parties assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.3(b), then the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties in any manner reasonably requested in connection with the defense, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be kept fully informed by the Indemnifying Parties and their legal counsel with respect to the status of any legal proceedings, to the extent not inconsistent with the preservation of attorney-client or work product privilege. If the Indemnifying Parties so assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Parties have agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the named parties to any such Third-Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties in the conduct of the defense thereof, and in any such case the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties.

(d) If the Indemnifying Parties elect to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.3(b), the Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand arising from such asserted liability unless the Indemnifying Parties withdraw from or fail to vigorously prosecute the defense of such asserted liability, or unless a judgment is entered against the Indemnified Party for such liability. If the Indemnifying Parties do not elect to defend, or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the Indemnifying Parties fail to adequately prosecute or withdraw such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, at the Indemnifying Parties’ expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indemnifying Parties shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party (at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties) shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of (x) that part of any Third-Party Claim (i) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, or (ii) to the extent such Third-Party Claim involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party or (y) the entire Third-Party Claim if such Third-Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the Indemnified Party in an amount which is greater than the amount as to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. In the event the Indemnified Party retains control of the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(e) If the Indemnified Party undertakes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.1 or 10.2 and proposes to settle the same prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Parties prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to participate in the settlement, assume or reassume the defense thereof or prosecute such appeal, in each case at the Indemnifying Parties’ expense. The Indemnifying Parties shall not, without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Third-Party Claim (i) in which any relief other than the payment of money damages is or may be sought against such Indemnified Party, (ii) in which such Third-Party Claim could be reasonably expected to impose or create a monetary liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (such as an increase in the Indemnified Party’s income Tax) other than the monetary claim of the third party in such Third-Party Claim being paid pursuant to such settlement or judgment, or (iii) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant, person conducting such investigation or initiating such hearing, plaintiff or petitioner to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim and all other actions (known or unknown) arising or which might arise out of the same facts.

10.3 Escrow of Escrow Shares by Shareholders. The Company and the Shareholders hereby authorize the Purchaser to deliver the Escrow Shares into escrow (the “Escrow Fund”) pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. For purposes of this Article X, the Escrow Shares are valued at US$10.00 per share.

(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 Shareholders shall be entitled to vote the Escrow Shares on any matters to come before the shareholders of the Purchaser.

(b) Distribution of Escrow Shares. At the times provided for in Section 10.4(d), the Escrow Shares shall be released to the Shareholders’ Representative for distribution to the Shareholders, pro rata based on each such Shareholder’s percentage of ownership in the Company immediately prior to Closing. The Purchaser will take such action as may be necessary to cause such certificates and notes 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 to the Shareholders’ Representative and all fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.

(c) Assignability. No Escrow Shares or any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, sold, assigned or transferred, including by operation of law, by the Shareholders or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of the Shareholders, prior to the delivery to such Shareholders by the Shareholders’ Representative of the Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent as provided herein.

(d) Release from Escrow Fund. Within five (5) business days following expiration of the Survival Period (the “Release Date”), the Escrow Shares will be released from escrow to the Shareholders’ Representative less the number or amount of Escrow Shares (at an assumed value of US$10.00 per Escrow Share) equal to the amount of any payments made pursuant to Section 10.6 and any potential Losses set forth in any Indemnification Notice from the Purchaser with respect to any pending but unresolved claim for indemnification. Prior to the Release Date, the Shareholders’ Representative shall issue to the Escrow Agent a certificate executed by it instructing the Escrow Agent to release such number of Escrow Shares determined in accordance with this Section 10.4(d). Any Escrow Shares retained in escrow as a result of the immediately preceding sentence shall be released to the Shareholders’ Representative promptly upon resolution of the related claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article X.

10.4 Periodic Payments. Any indemnification required by Section 10.1 or 10.2 for costs, disbursements or expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Action shall be made by periodic payments by the Indemnifying Parties to each Indemnified Party during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or costs, disbursements or expenses are incurred.

10.5 Right of Set Off. In the event that a Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Article X, Purchaser shall be entitled to set off any amounts owed to the Shareholders pursuant to Section 10.2 and/or against the amount of such indemnification. Any such set-off will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

10.6 Payment of Indemnification. In the event that a Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Article X the Purchaser Indemnitee shall be paid first from the Escrow Shares. In the event that at such time Purchaser is unable to set off such indemnification pursuant to Section 10.5 and the Escrow Shares are no longer available, the Shareholders shall jointly and severally pay the amount of the indemnification (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 10.1) in shares of Purchaser Ordinary Shares at US$10.00 per share. Any payments by the Shareholders to a Purchaser Indemnitee will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

10.7 Insurance. Any indemnification payments hereunder shall take into account any insurance proceeds or other third party reimbursement actually received.

10.8 Survival of Indemnification Rights. Except for the Fundamental Representations, which shall survive until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations with respect thereto (including any extensions and waivers thereof), the representations and warranties of the Company, the Shareholders and Purchaser shall survive until twelve (12) months (the “Survival Period”) following the Closing. The indemnification to which any Indemnified Party is entitled from the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 10.1 or 10.2 for Losses shall be effective so long as it is asserted prior to: (x) ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including all extensions and waivers thereof), in the case of the representations and warranties referred to in the first sentence of Section 10.8 and the breach or the alleged breach of any covenant or agreement of any Indemnifying Party; and (y) the twelve (12) months following the Closing, in the case of all other representations and warranties of the Company, the Shareholders and Purchaser hereunder. The obligations of the Company (but not of the Shareholders) in Articles VI and VII shall terminate upon the Closing.

No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved party whole with respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any other breach.

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

(d) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, neither shall any party seek, nor shall any party be liable for, punitive or exemplary damages, under any tort, contract, equity, or other legal theory, with respect to any breach (or alleged breach) of this Agreement or any provision hereof or any matter otherwise relating hereto or arising in connection herewith.

13.3 Arm’s length bargaining; no presumption against drafter. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s-length by parties of equal bargaining strength, each represented by counsel or having had but declined the opportunity to be represented by counsel and having participated in the drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the parties, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any party in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Agreement or such provision.

13.4 Publicity. Except as required by law and except with respect to the Purchaser SEC Documents, the parties agree that neither they nor their agents shall issue any press release or make any other public disclosure concerning the transactions contemplated hereunder without the prior approval of the other party hereto. If a party is required to make such a disclosure as required by law, the parties will use their best efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or public disclosure to be issued.

13.5 Expenses. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided however, that if the transaction contemplated hereby is consummated, all such costs and expenses shall be borne by the combined entity.

13.6 No Assignment or Delegation. No party may assign any right or delegate any obligation hereunder, including by merger, consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise, without the written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be void, in addition to constituting a material breach of this Agreement.

13.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

13.8 Counterparts; facsimile signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon delivery to each party of an executed counterpart or the earlier delivery to each party of original, photocopied, or electronically transmitted signature pages that together (but need not individually) bear the signatures of all other parties.

13.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Additional Agreements, sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements related thereto (whether written or oral), all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement or any Additional Agreement may be explained or qualified by any agreement, negotiations, understanding, discussion, conduct or course of conduct or by any trade usage. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein or any Additional Agreement, there is no condition precedent to the effectiveness of any provision hereof or thereof. No party has relied on any representation from, or warranty or agreement of, any person in entering into this Agreement, prior hereto or contemporaneous herewith or any Additional Agreement, except those expressly stated herein or therein.

13.10 Severability. A determination by a court or other legal authority that any provision that is not of the essence of this Agreement is legally invalid shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to substitute (or cause such court or other legal authority to substitute) for any provision so held to be invalid a valid provision, as alike in substance to such invalid provision as is lawful.

13.11 Construction of certain terms and references; captions. In this Agreement:

(a) References to particular sections and subsections, schedules, and exhibits not otherwise specified are cross-references to sections and subsections, schedules, and exhibits of this Agreement.

(b) The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and, unless the context requires otherwise, “party” means a party signatory hereto.

(c) Any use of the singular or plural, or the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, includes the others, unless the context otherwise requires; “including” means “including without limitation;” “or” means “and/or;” “any” means “any one, more than one, or all;” and, unless otherwise specified, any financial or accounting term has the meaning of the term under United States generally accepted accounting principles as consistently applied heretofore by the Company.

(d) Unless otherwise specified, any reference to any agreement (including this Agreement), instrument, or other document includes all schedules, exhibits, or other attachments referred to therein, and any reference to a statute or other law includes any rule, regulation, ordinance, or the like promulgated thereunder, in each case, as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time. Any reference to a numbered schedule means the same-numbered section of the disclosure schedule.

(e) If any action is required to be taken or notice is required to be given within a specified number of days following a specific date or event, the day of such date or event is not counted in determining the last day for such action or notice. If any action is required to be taken or notice is required to be given on or before a particular day which is not a Business Day, such action or notice shall be considered timely if it is taken or given on or before the next Business Day.

(f) Captions are not a part of this Agreement, but are included for convenience, only.

(g) For the avoidance of any doubt, all references in this Agreement to “the knowledge or best knowledge of the Company” or similar terms shall be deemed to include the actual or constructive (e.g., implied by Law) knowledge of the Key Personnel.

13.12 Further Assurances. Each party shall execute and deliver such documents and take such action, as may reasonably be considered within the scope of such party’s obligations hereunder, necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

13.13 Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof confers any benefit or right upon or may be enforced by any Person not a signatory hereto.

13.14 Waiver. Reference is made to the final IPO prospectus of the Purchaser, dated April 5^th, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). The Company and the Shareholders have read the Prospectus and understand that the Purchaser has established the Trust Account for the benefit of the public shareholders of the Purchaser and the underwriters of the IPO pursuant to the Trust Agreement and that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Purchaser may disburse monies from the Trust Account only for the purposes set forth in the Trust Agreement. For and in consideration of the Purchaser agreeing to enter into this Agreement, the Company and the Shareholders each hereby agree that he, she or it does not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and hereby agrees that he, she or it will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any claim it may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Purchaser.

13.15 Shareholders’ Representative. By virtue of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder by the Shareholders and without any further action of any of the Shareholders or the Company, Norma Chu Ka Yin is hereby appointed as the “Shareholders’ Representative”, the exclusive agent and attorney-in-fact for each Shareholder, (i) to give and receive notices and communications to Purchaser for any purpose under this Agreement and the Additional Agreements, (ii) to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to any indemnification claims (including Third-Party Claims) under Section 10.1 or other disputes arising under or related to this Agreement, (iii) to enter into and deliver the Escrow Agreement on behalf of each of the Shareholders, (iv) to authorize or object to delivery to the Purchaser of the Escrow Fund, or any portion thereof, in satisfaction of indemnification claims by the Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, (v) to act on behalf of Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement, the securities described herein and any other document or instrument executed in connection with the Agreement and (vi) to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Such agency may be changed by the Shareholders from time to time upon no less than twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser, provided, however, that the Shareholders’ Representative may not be removed unless holders of at least 51% of all of the Company Ordinary Shares on an as-if converted basis outstanding immediately prior to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement agree to such removal. Any vacancy in the position of Shareholders’ Representative may be filled by approval of the holders of at least 51% of all of the Company Ordinary Shares on an as-if converted basis outstanding immediately prior to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Any removal or change of the Shareholders’ Representative shall not be effective until written notice is delivered to Purchaser. No bond shall be required of the Shareholders’ Representative, and the Shareholders’ Representative shall not receive any compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Shareholders’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from the Shareholders. The Shareholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable business judgment. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders’ Representative shall, for all purposes hereunder, constitute a decision, act, consent or instruction of all of the Shareholders of the Company and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of the Shareholders. The Shareholders shall severally indemnify the Shareholders’ Representative and hold him harmless against any loss, liability, or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Shareholders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder.
