For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of an individual; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, each Company Shareholder shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of the Company during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote any Locked-Up Shares.

(d) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the Locked-Up Shares, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such Transfer would constitute a violation or breach of the Lock-Up Restrictions.

(e) The Company shall remove, and shall cause to be removed (including by causing its transfer agent and The Depository Trust Company (as applicable) to remove), any legends, marks, stop-transfer instructions or other similar notations pertaining to the lock-up arrangements herein from the book-entries evidencing any Locked-Up Shares at the time any such share is no longer subject to the Lock-Up Restrictions (any such Locked-Up Share, a “Free Share”), and shall take all such actions (and shall cause to be taken all such actions) necessary or proper to cause the Free Shares to be consolidated under the CUSIP(s) and/or ISIN(s) applicable to the unrestricted Company Ordinary Shares or so that the Free Shares are in a like position. Any holder of a Locked-Up Share is an express third-party beneficiary of this Section 6.1(e) and entitled to enforce specifically the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 6.1(e) directly against the Company.

6.2 Earn-Out Provisions.

(a) If the Company Per Share Trading Price at any point during the trading hours of a Trading Day equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any consecutive thirty (30)-Trading Day period at any time commencing on or after the Closing Date and ending on or prior to the Earn-Out Expiration Date (the first occurrence of the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Minimum Share Price Milestone,” and the date on which the first occurrence of the foregoing occurs is referred to as the “Minimum Share Price Milestone Date”), then the Company shall issue, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Minimum Share Price Milestone Date, to each Company Shareholder its Minimum Earn-Out Shares for the aggregate par value of such Minimum Earn-Out Shares.

(b) If the Company Per Share Trading Price at any point during the trading hours of a Trading Day equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any consecutive thirty (30)-Trading Day period at any time commencing on or after the Closing Date and ending on or prior to the Earn-Out Expiration Date (the first occurrence of the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Maximum Share Price Milestone” and together with the Minimum Share Price Milestone, the “Earn-Out Milestones,” and the date on which the first occurrence of the Maximum Share Price Milestone occurs is referred to as the “Maximum Share Price Milestone Date”), then the Company shall issue, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Maximum Share Price Milestone Date, to each Company Shareholder its Maximum Earn-Out Shares for the aggregate par value of such Maximum Earn-Out Shares.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if the Maximum Share Price Milestone has been achieved, but the Minimum Share Price Milestone has not been previously achieved, the Minimum Share Price Milestone shall be deemed achieved on the Maximum Share Price Milestone Date, and (y) Earn-Out Shares in respect of each Earn-Out Milestone will be issued and earned only once.

(d) Upon the Earn-Out Expiration Date:

(i) if the Minimum Share Price Milestone has not been achieved, none of the Minimum Earn-Out Shares shall be issued and the contingent right to receive the Minimum Earn-Out Shares shall be forfeited for no consideration; and

(ii) if the Maximum Share Price Milestone has not been achieved, none of the Maximum Earn-Out Shares shall be issued and the contingent right to receive the Maximum Earn-Out Shares shall be forfeited for no consideration.

(e) In the event that after the Closing and prior to the Earn-Out Expiration Date, there is a Company Sale (or a definitive agreement providing for a Company Sale has been entered into prior to the Earn-Out Expiration Date and such Company Sale is ultimately consummated, even if such consummation occurs after the Earn-Out Expiration Date), then if the per share value of the consideration to be received by the holders of the Company Ordinary Shares in such Company Sale equals or exceeds $12.50 per share and the Minimum Share Price Milestone has not been previously achieved, then the Minimum Share Price Milestone shall be deemed to have been achieved, and if the per share value of the consideration to be received by the holders of the Company Ordinary Shares in such Company Sale equals or exceeds $15.00 per share and the Maximum Share Price Milestone (or both the Minimum Share Price Milestone and the Maximum Share Price Milestone) has not been previously achieved, then the Maximum Share Price Milestone (and, if not previously achieved, the Minimum Share Price Milestone) shall be deemed to have been achieved; provided, that if the consideration to be received by the holders of the Company Ordinary Shares in such Company Sale includes non-cash consideration, the value of such consideration shall be determined in good faith by the Company Board; provided, further, that with respect to such Earn-Out Shares that are not deemed achieved as of the consummation of such Company Sale pursuant to this Section 6.2(e), none such Earn-Out Shares shall be issued or deemed issued and the contingent right to receive such Earn-Out Shares or the consideration therefor upon the consummation of such Company Sale shall be forfeited for no consideration. In the event either the Minimum Share Price Milestone or the Maximum Share Price Milestone would be deemed to be achieved pursuant to this Section 6.2(e), the applicable Earn-Out Shares shall be issued or deemed to be issued immediately prior to the consummation of the Company Sale and such Earn-Out Shares shall receive the same consideration per share as the shares of Company Ordinary Shares receive in the Company Sale.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, before the Earn-Out Shares are issued in connection with an Earn-Out Milestone or in connection with a Company Sale and registered in the Company’s register of members, the contingent right to receive the Earn-Out Shares: (i) does not provide the holders of such contingent right any rights of a holder of Company Ordinary Shares, including any right to vote or receive dividends; (ii) does not bear interest in any form; (iii) is not a “security” and is not assignable or transferable, except by operation of law, will or intestacy; and (iv) is not represented by any form of certificate or instrument.

(g) Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, if any of the terms of the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement (the “Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, between the Company and Silver Crest Management LLC in respect of the Sponsor Covered Shares are less restrictive than those agreed to herein (or such terms and conditions are subsequently relaxed including as a result of a modification, waiver or amendment), then the less restrictive terms and conditions shall apply to the Earn-Out Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if the Minimum Target (as defined in the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement) shall have been achieved, then the Minimum Share Price Milestone shall be deemed achieved, and (y) if the Maximum Target (as defined in the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement) shall have been achieved, then the Maximum Share Price Milestone shall be deemed achieved.

6.3 If, during the period between the Closing Date and the Earn-Out Expiration Date, the Company Ordinary Shares outstanding as of immediately following the First Effective Time shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any share capitalization, dividend, distribution, combination, reverse share split, share consolidation, split, subdivision, conversion, exchange, transfer, sale, cancelation, repurchase, redemption or reclassification, or any similar event shall have occurred, then (x) the Company Per Share Trading Price specified in each of Section 6.1(b)(xv), Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.2(b) and the per share value of the consideration with respect to any Company Sale specified in Section 6.2(e) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change, and (y) the number of Earn-Out Shares issuable pursuant hereto shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

Article VII
General Provisions

7.1 Termination. This Agreement shall be effective the date hereof and shall immediately terminate upon the earlier of (x) the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms and (y) the date on which none of the Company, SPAC or any holder of a Locked-Up Share and/or a contingent right to an Earn-Out Share has any rights or obligations hereunder; provided that, in the event that the Merger Agreement is not terminated pursuant to its terms prior to the Closing, Article II, Article III, Article IV and Article V (other than Section 5.3, Section 5.5, Section 5.6 (solely with respect to 8.05(b) (Confidentiality; Publicity) of the Merger Agreement) and Section 5.8 which shall survive indefinitely) shall terminate upon the Closing. The termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liability arising in respect of any willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement (or any portion thereof), this Article VII shall survive indefinitely.

7.2 Capacity as a Company Shareholder. Each Company Shareholder signs this Agreement solely in such Company Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of the Company, and not in such Company Shareholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company, if applicable.

7.3 Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally or sent by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) to the Company and SPAC in accordance with Section 11.02 of the Merger Agreement and to each Company Shareholder at its address set forth set forth on Schedule A hereto (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified by like notice).

7.4 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes any other agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto.

7.5 Assignment. No party hereto shall assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except that, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with a transfer of any Subject Shares or Locked-Up Shares (as applicable) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, transferee to whom such Subject Shares or Locked-Up Shares (as applicable) are transferred shall thenceforth be entitled to all the rights and be subject to all the obligations under this Agreement; provided, that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any attempted assignment in violation of the terms of this Section 7.5 shall be null and void, ab initio. For the avoidance of doubt, no transfer of Company Ordinary Shares, Locked-Up Shares, Earn-Out Shares or Free Shares shall be (or be deemed to be) an assignment of this Agreement or the rights or obligations hereunder.

7.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal substantive laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts entered into and to be performed solely within such state, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of laws of another jurisdiction. Any dispute, controversy, difference, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including its existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination, or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”) under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. There shall be three arbitrators. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. The law of this arbitration clause shall be Hong Kong law. For the avoidance of doubt, a request by a party hereto to a court of competent jurisdiction for interim measures necessary to preserve such party’s rights, including pre-arbitration attachments, injunctions, or other equitable relief, shall not be deemed incompatible with, or a waiver of, the agreement to arbitrate in this Section 7.6.

7.7 Enforcement. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by it, money damages will be inadequate and the other party will have no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by it in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other party and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which the non-breaching party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

7.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (any of which may be delivered by electronic transmission), each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
