The Sponsor, in connection with the Transactions, may (i) subscribe for additional SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and execute the Subscription Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or (ii) surrender SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and execute the Irrevocable Surrender of Shares in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, as applicable, as follows:

 

(a) if the investors in the PIPE Financing seek to purchase PubCo Ordinary Shares at a per share purchase price less than $10.00 per share (the “Benchmark Price”) , then prior to the Merger Closing, the Sponsor will purchase additional SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in cash or surrender SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares to SPAC, each valued at $10.00 per share, at an aggregate value equal to difference of (x) the aggregate value of the PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to such investors in such PIPE Financing valued at the Benchmark Price, and (y) the proceeds actually received by the PubCo in connection with such PIPE Financing, provided that if there is a Company-initiated Transaction Financing entitling the investors to receive or exchange for PubCo Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted basis) at a per share price lower than $10.00 per share, the Benchmark Price shall be adjusted accordingly based on the terms and conditions of such Company-initiated Transaction Financing as mutually agreed by the Sponsor and PubCo;

 

(b) if the SPAC Transaction Expenses exceed US$2,500,000 (such excess amount, the “Excess SPAC Expenses”), the Sponsor may surrender a number of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor to SPAC or acquire additional SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in cash at an aggregate value equal to the Excess SPAC Expenses, in each case, prior to the Merger Closing, with each SPAC Ordinary Share issued, purchased or surrendered valued at $10.00 per share (as appropriately adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations or similar events of the SPAC); and

 

(c) if the Aggregate Financing Amount equals or exceeds US$20,000,000 but is less than US$40,000,000, the Sponsor may, prior to the Merger Closing, at its discretion, subscribe for additional SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares at $10.00 per share (as appropriately adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations or similar events of SPAC) in cash in full in immediately available funds prior to the Merger Closing at the aggregate value equal to (x) US$40,000,000 minus (y) the Aggregate Financing Amount.

 

For the avoid of doubt, the satisfaction of the Sponsor’s obligations to purchase additional SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares or surrender SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 4.9(a), Section 4.9(b) or Section 4.9(c) above shall not relieve the Sponsor of any of its obligations under the other two subsections, to the extent applicable.

 

4.10 Transaction Financings.

 

(a) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the terms and conditions of any Transaction Financing shall be mutually agreed by the PubCo and the SPAC.

 

(b) Each of the Sponsor and SPAC agrees that the gross proceeds of any Private Financing pursuant to which investors will invest in SPAC shall be deposited in a segregated escrow account and be irrevocably and unconditionally released to PubCo at the Merger Closing (or another time mutually agreed by PubCo and the investors).

 

11

 

 

(c) The Sponsor agrees that it shall bear any and all economic loss or dilution to the Group Companies and Shareholders in connection with the satisfaction of any conditions or requests from the existing SPAC Shareholders in exchange for the Redemption Waivers.

 

(d) Prior to the Merger Closing, PubCo shall cause the other Group Companies or its Shareholders not to consummate any equity financing of (i) VSUN or (ii) the Company, other than the Transaction Financings.

 

4.11 Transfer to Fuji Solar. The Sponsor hereby agrees that it shall use its best efforts to effect and complete (i) the Transfer of 100,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares by the Sponsor to Fuji Solar (x) immediately prior to the Merger Closing, provided that the Merger is reasonably expected to be consummated, or (y) upon the Merger Closing, and (ii) the Transfer of 400,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares by the Sponsor to Fuji Solar as soon as reasonably practicable and prior to the Merger Closing.

 

4.12 Confidentiality. The Sponsor hereby agrees that during the term of this Agreement and, in the event that the Agreement and Plan of Merger is terminated in accordance with its terms, for a period of two (2) years after such termination, it shall, and shall cause its Representatives to: (i) treat and hold in strict confidence any Group Company Confidential Information, and will not use for any purpose (except in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger or the other Transaction Documents, performing its obligations thereunder or enforcing its rights thereunder), nor directly or indirectly disclose, distribute, publish, disseminate or otherwise make available to any third party any of the Group Company Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Group Companies; and (ii) in the event that the Sponsor or any of its Representatives, during the term of this Agreement or, in the event that the Agreement and Plan of Merger is terminated in accordance with its terms, for a period of two (2) years after such termination, becomes legally compelled to disclose any Group Company Confidential Information, (A) provide the Group Companies to the extent legally permitted with prompt written notice of such requirement so that the Group Companies may seek a protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with this Section 4.12 and (B) in the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Group Companies waive compliance with this Section 4.12, furnish only that portion of such Group Company Confidential Information which is legally required to be provided as advised by outside counsel and to exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such Group Company Confidential Information. In the event that the Agreement and Plan of Merger is terminated and the transactions contemplated thereby are not consummated, the Sponsor shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, promptly destroy any and all copies (in whatever form or medium) of Group Company Confidential Information and destroy all notes, memoranda, summaries, analyses, compilations and other writings related thereto or based thereon.

 

4.13 Consent to Disclosure. The Sponsor consents to and authorizes the PubCo or SPAC, as applicable, to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC or any other Governmental Authority or applicable securities exchange, and any press release or other disclosure document that the PubCo or SPAC, as applicable, reasonably determines to be necessary or advisable in connection with the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger or this Agreement, the Sponsor’s identity and ownership of the Sponsor’s Subject Shares, the existence of this Agreement and the nature of the Sponsor’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement, and the Sponsor acknowledges that the PubCo or SPAC may, in their sole discretion, file this Agreement or a form hereof with the SEC or any other Governmental Authority or securities exchange. The Sponsor agrees to promptly give the PubCo or SPAC, as applicable, any information that is in its possession that the PubCo or SPAC, as applicable, may reasonably request for the preparation of any such disclosure documents, and the Sponsor agrees to promptly notify the PubCo and SPAC of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by it specifically for use in any such disclosure document, if and to the extent that the Sponsor shall become aware that any such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.
