This SPONSOR VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of August 30, 2022, by and among Vision Sensing LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), Vision Sensing Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“VSAC”), and Newsight Imaging Ltd., an Israeli company (the “Company”). Terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS, contemporaneously herewith, VSAC, Newsight MergerSub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and the Company entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into VSAC, with VSAC continuing as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), and as a result of which, among other matters, VSAC shall continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and, in connection therewith, each share of VSAC Common Stock (including shares of VSAC Class B Stock held by Sponsor) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive an equal number of Company Ordinary Shares, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Sponsor owns 472,000 shares of VSAC Class A Stock and 2,530,000 shares of VSAC Class B Stock (all such shares of VSAC Common Stock and any shares of VSAC Common Stock of which ownership of record or the power to vote is hereafter acquired by Sponsor prior to the termination of this Agreement being referred to herein as the “Shares”); and
WHEREAS, in order to induce the Company and VSAC to enter into the Business Combination Agreement, Sponsor is executing and delivering this Agreement to the Company.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Sponsor, the Company, and VSAC hereby agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Vote. Sponsor, with respect to the Shares, hereby agrees (and agrees to execute such documents or certificates evidencing such agreement as VSAC and/or the Company may reasonably request in connection therewith) to vote at the VSAC Special Meeting and any meeting of the stockholders of VSAC, and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of VSAC, to approve the Business Combination Agreement, all of the Shares (a) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and this Agreement in accordance with the Insider Letter, (b) in favor of any other matter reasonably necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and considered and voted upon by the stockholders of VSAC (including the VSAC Stockholder Approval Matters), (c) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Equity Plan, (d) for the appointment, and designation of classes, of the members of the Post-Closing Company Board of Directors and (e) against any action, agreement or transaction (other than the Business Combination Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby) or proposal that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of VSAC or Merger Sub under the Business Combination Agreement or that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement from being consummated. Sponsor acknowledges receipt and review of a copy of the Business Combination Agreement.
2. Transfer of Shares. Sponsor agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, except as otherwise contemplated pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with the Insider Letter, (a) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), redeem, lien, pledge, distribute, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of the Shares or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing (unless the transferee agrees to be bound by this Agreement), (b) deposit any Shares into a voting trust, enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement, (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer (including by operation of law), redemption or other disposition of any Shares (unless the transferee agrees to be bound by this Agreement) or (d) take any action that would have the effect of preventing or disabling Sponsor from performing its obligations hereunder.
3. Waiver. Sponsor hereby waives (and agrees to execute such documents or certificates evidencing such waiver as VSAC and/or Company may reasonably request) any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the certificate of incorporation of VSAC of any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to the VSAC Class B Stock (whether resulting from the transactions contemplated hereby, by the Business Combination Agreement or Ancillary Document or by any other transaction consummated in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby).
4. Representations and Warranties. Sponsor represents and warrants for and on behalf of itself to VSAC and the Company as follows:
(a) The execution, delivery and performance by Sponsor of this Agreement and the consummation by Sponsor of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any Law or Order applicable to Sponsor, (ii) require any consent, approval or authorization of, declaration, filing or registration with, or notice to, any person or entity, (iii) result in the creation of any Lien on any Shares (other than pursuant to this Agreement or transfer restrictions under applicable securities laws or the Organizational Documents of Sponsor) or (iv) conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute a default under any provision of Sponsor’s Organizational Documents.
(b) Sponsor owns of record and has good, valid and marketable title to the Shares free and clear of any Lien (other than pursuant to this Agreement or transfer restrictions under applicable securities Laws or the Organizational Documents of Sponsor) and has the sole power (as currently in effect) to vote and has the full right, power and authority to sell, transfer and deliver such Shares, and Sponsor does not own, directly or indirectly, any other Shares.

6. Miscellaneous.

(c) If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
(d) This Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement, the Insider Letter and the Ancillary Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise). This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any respect, except by a written agreement executed by all of the parties hereto.
4 |
(e) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
(f) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with this Agreement when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Order.
(g) This Agreement and any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any federal court located in the Southern District of New York, New York (or in any appellate courts thereof) (the “Specified Courts”). Each party hereto hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto and (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in Section 6(b). Nothing in this Section 6(g) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
(h) This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(i) Without further consideration, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such additional documents and instruments and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
5 |
(j) This Agreement shall not be effective or binding upon Sponsor until such time as the Business Combination Agreement is executed by each of the parties thereto.
(k) If, and as often as, there are any changes in VSAC or the VSAC Common Stock by way of stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification, or through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or business combination, or by any other means, equitable adjustment shall be made to the provisions of this Agreement as may be required and are agreed upon by the parties so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to VSAC, Sponsor and the Shares as so changed.
(l) Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Paragraph (l).
