NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

Agreement

  1.

Sale of Shares; Shares Purchase and Sale; Closing.

(a) Forward Share Purchase. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4, on the three (3) month anniversary of the date of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Business Combination Closing Date”), the Investors may elect to sell and transfer to the Company, and the Company shall purchase from the Investors, up to that number of Shares (including any Additional Shares) that are then held by the Investors, and have been continuously held by the Investors since the Business Combination Closing Date, but not to exceed 5,000,000 Shares (including any Additional Shares) in the aggregate unless otherwise agreed in writing by all Parties, at a price per Share equal to $10.15 per Share (the “Shares Purchase Price”). Each Principal Investor shall, and the Principal Investors shall cause the Non-Principal Investors to, notify the Company and the Escrow Agent in writing five (5) Business Days (as defined below) prior to the three


(3) month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date whether or not such Investor is exercising such Investor’s right to sell any of the Shares (including any Additional Shares) held by such Investor to the Company pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Shares Sale Notice”). Any Investor that fails to timely deliver a Shares Sales Notice in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have forfeited its right to sell any Shares (including any Additional Shares) to the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Shares Closing. If a Shares Sale Notice is timely delivered by any Investor to the Company and Escrow Agent, the closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated in each such timely delivered Share Sales Notice (the “Shares Closing”) shall occur no later than the three (3) month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date (the “Shares Closing Date”). On the Shares Closing Date, each selling Investor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Shares (including any Additional Shares) subject to the applicable Shares Sale Notice free and clear of all liens and encumbrances to Escrow Agent and, in exchange therefor, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to each such selling Investor(s) an amount equal to (i) the Shares Purchase Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares being sold by such selling Investor (with respect to any particular selling Investor, the “Investor Shares Purchase Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent shall, (i) without delay, release from the Escrow Account to each selling Investor on the Shares Closing Date, for such selling Investor’s use without restriction, an amount equal to such Investor’s Investor Shares Purchase Price, and (ii) promptly deliver such sold Shares to the Company.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Principal Investors. Each Principal Investor represents and warrants to GigCapital4, severally and not jointly, and Meteora (and not Glazer) represents and warrants to GigCapital4 on behalf of the Non-Principal Investors as follows, as of the date hereof:

(a) Organization and Power. Such Investor is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

This Agreement, when executed and delivered by such Principal Investor will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Principal Investor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”).

(c) Governmental Consents and Filings. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of such Investor in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”) other than disclosure reports regarding such transactions that such Investor is required to file in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Act (as defined below).

(d) Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by such Principal Investor of this Agreement and the consummation by such Principal Investor and the other Investors of the Transactions will not result in any violation or default (i) of any provisions of its organizational documents, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iii) under any note, indenture or mortgage to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iv) under any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or (v) of any provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to it, in each case (other than clause (i)), which would have a material adverse effect on such Principal Investor or any of the other Investors or its or their ability to consummate the Transactions.

(f) Disclosure of Information. Such Principal Investor has had an opportunity to discuss GigCapital4’s and the Company’s business, management and financial affairs, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as well as the terms of the Business Combination, with GigCapital4’s management.

(g) No Other Representations and Warranties; Non-Reliance. Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in this Section 2 and in any certificate or written agreement delivered pursuant hereto, neither any Principal Investor or any person acting on behalf of such Principal Investor nor any of such Principal Investor’s affiliates (collectively, the “Principal Investor Parties”) has made, makes or shall be deemed to make any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such Principal Investor or the other Investors, and the Principal Investor Parties disclaim any such representation or warranty. Except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made by GigCapital4 in Section 3 of this Agreement, in any certificate or written agreement delivered pursuant hereto and in any public filings, the Principal Investor Parties specifically disclaim that they are relying upon any other representations or warranties that may have been made by the GigCapital4 Parties (as defined below).

3. Representations and Warranties of GigCapital4. GigCapital4 represents and warrants to each Principal Investor as follows:

(a) Organization and Corporate Power. GigCapital4 is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

Such public disclosure shall disclose the name of the Principal Investors as having entered into the Agreement.

(d) Governmental Consents and Filings. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local governmental authority is required on the part of GigCapital4 in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, other than disclosure reports regarding such transactions GigCapital4 is required to file in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Act.

 

3


(e) Compliance with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance by GigCapital4 of this Agreement and the consummation by GigCapital4 of the Transactions will not result in any violation or default (i) of any provisions of its organizational documents, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iii) under any note, indenture or mortgage to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iv) under any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or (v) of any provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to it, in each case (other than clause (i)), which would have a material adverse effect on GigCapital4 or its ability to consummate the Transactions.

(h) Most Favored Nation. The material terms of any Additional Investor Agreements (as such term is defined below) already entered into by GigCapital4 are no more favorable to such Additional Investors (as such term is defined below) thereunder than the terms of this Agreement are in respect of the Investors hereunder.

(i) No Other Representations and Warranties; Non-Reliance. Except for the specific representations and warranties contained in this Section 3 and in any certificate or written agreement delivered pursuant hereto or in any public filings, neither GigCapital4 or any person on behalf of GigCapital4 nor any of GigCapital4’s affiliates (collectively, the “GigCapital4 Parties”) has made, makes or shall be deemed to make any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to GigCapital4, the Company, the Transactions or the Business Combination, and the GigCapital4 Parties disclaim any such representation or warranty. Except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made by the Principal Investors in Section 2 of this Agreement and in any certificate or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, the GigCapital4 Parties specifically disclaim that they are relying upon any other representations or warranties that may have been made by the Principal Investor Parties.

4. Additional Agreements.

(a) No Short Sales. Each Principal Investor agrees not to, and Meteora agrees to cause the Non-Principal Investors not to, engage in any transactions involving any Short Sales involving any securities of GigCapital4 or the Company. For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”).

(b) No Redemptions; No Tenders. Each Principal Investor further agrees not to, and Meteora will cause the Non-Principal Investors not to, (i) request redemption of any of the Shares (including any Additional Shares) in conjunction with GigCapital4’s stockholders’ approval of the Business Combination, or (ii) tender the Shares (including any Additional Shares) to GigCapital4 in response to any redemption or tender offer that GigCapital4 may commence for its shares of common stock; provided that (x) all of the Additional Investors shall be bound by a substantially similar restriction as set forth in this Section 4(b) in the Additional Investor Agreements (as defined below), and (y) the Shares subject to this Section 4(b) shall not represent more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate number of shares of common stock of GigCapital4 subject to such restriction (or a substantially similar restriction) pursuant to this Agreement and the Additional Investor Agreements provided, however that in the event that fewer than an aggregate

 

4


of 10,000,000 shares of common stock of GigCapital4 are subject to such a restriction (or a substantially similar restriction) pursuant to this Agreement and the Additional Investor Agreements, the number of Shares set forth in Section 1(a) shall be reduced ratably such that the aggregate number of Shares subject to such restrictions shall be no more than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of shares of common stock of GigCapital4 that are subject to such restrictions pursuant to the Agreement and the Additional Investor Agreements, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing.

(c) Option to Purchase Additional Shares and Certain Derivatives. GigCapital4 hereby acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Investors from purchasing from third parties prior to the Business Combination Closing Date additional shares of common stock of GigCapital4, including shares that have previously been tendered by third parties for redemption at their original redemption value in conjunction with GigCapital4’s stockholders’ approval of the Business Combination, to the extent such third parties unwind such tenders for redemption (the “Additional Shares”), or any warrants, convertible notes or options (including puts or calls) of GigCapital4; provided, the aggregate number of Shares and Additional Shares owned by the Investors and subject to Sections 1, 4(b) and 4(c) shall not exceed 5,000,000 shares of common stock of GigCapital4, unless otherwise agreed in writing by all Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, all Additional Shares shall be deemed Shares for all purposes hereunder and shall be purchased by the Company in accordance with Section 1.

(d) Open Market Sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties agree that the Investors shall, commencing on the day after the date by which shares of common stock of GigCapital4 must be tendered for redemption in conjunction with GigCapital4’s stockholders’ approval of the Business Combination (the “Redemption Date”), have the right, but not the obligation, to sell any or all of the Shares (including any Additional Shares) in the open market if the sale price exceeds $10.00 per Share prior to payment of any commissions due by the Investors for such sale. The Principal Investors shall, and Meteora shall cause all selling Non-Principal Investor to, give written notice to the Company and Escrow Agent of any sale of the Shares (including any Additional Shares) pursuant to Section 4(d) within three (3) Business Days following the date of such sale (each, an “Open Market Sale Notice”), and each Open Market Sale Notice shall include the date of the sale, the number of Shares sold, and confirmation that the sale price per Share was greater than $10.00 per Share prior to the payment of any commissions due by the Investor for the sale. If the Investors sell any Shares (including any Additional Shares) in the open market after the Redemption Date and prior to the one (1) month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date at a sales price per Share that is greater than $10.05 (such sale, the “Early Sale” and such shares, the “Early Sale Shares”), then, within five (5) Business Days of the Company’s and the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such Open Market Sale Notice, the Escrow Agent shall release from the Escrow Account (x) to each selling Investor an amount equal to $0.05 per Early Sale Share sold by such Investor (the “Early Sale Premium”) and (y) to the Company an amount equal to $10.10 per Early Sale Share sold in such Early Sale.

(e) Escrow.

(i) Simultaneously with the closing of the Business Combination, GigCapital4 shall deposit, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which GigCapital4 hereby acknowledges, into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”), subject to the terms of a written escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto and to be entered into on or prior to the Business Combination Closing Date, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $50,750,000 and (y) $10.15 multiplied by the number of Shares and Additional Shares held by the Investors as of the closing of the Business Combination, including after application of any ratable reduction as provided for in Section 4(b) (the “Escrowed Funds”). The Escrow Agreement shall irrevocably cause the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account the aggregate Shares Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1 and the aggregate Early Sales Premium in accordance Section 4(d). The payments to be made by the Escrow Agent to the Investors in accordance with Section 1 or Section 4(d), if applicable, will be made solely with the Escrowed Funds.

 

5


(ii) In the event that any Investor sells any Shares (including any Additional Shares) as provided in Section 4(d), upon receipt by the Company of an Open Market Sale Notice, the Company may issue instructions to the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account to the Company for the Company’s use without restriction an aggregate amount equal to the number of Shares (including any Additional Shares) sold multiplied by $10.15; provided that if an Investor sold any Early Sale Shares, within five (5) Business Days of the Company’s and the Escrow Agent’s receipt of the applicable Open Market Sale Notice, the Escrow Agent shall release from the Escrow Account (a) for the selling Investor’s use without restriction an amount equal to the Early Sale Premium with respect to the Early Sale Shares sold by such Investor, and (b) for the Company’s use without restriction an amount equal to the number of Early Sale Shares sold in the Early Sale multiplied by $10.10.

(iii) In the event that any Investor elects not to sell to the Company any Shares (including any Additional Shares) held by such Investor by either (A) a Principal Investor delivering a written notice to the Company on behalf of itself (or Meteora delivering a written notice to the Company on behalf of the Non-Principal Investors) stating such Investor’s intention not to sell any Shares (or any Additional Shares) to the Company, or (B) such Investor failing to timely deliver a Shares Sale Notice to the Company pursuant to Section 1(a) for all of its Shares, the Company may promptly issue instructions to the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Account to the Company for the Company’s use without restriction an amount equal to (x) $10.15 multiplied by (y) the number of Shares held by such Investor.

(f) Notification. The Company shall promptly notify the Principal Investors of the occurrence of any event that would make any of the representations and warranties of GigCapital4 set forth in Section 3 untrue or incorrect at any time between the date of this Agreement and the Shares Closing Date, except where the failure of a representation and warranty to be true and correct would not have a material adverse effect on GigCapital4’s or the Company’s ability to consummate the Transactions.

(g) Most Favored Nation. Concurrently with, or shortly after, the execution of this Agreement, GigCapital4 may enter into separate agreements with other investors (the “Additional Investors”) for the purchase and sale of GigCapital4 common stock imposing restrictions on dispositions of GigCapital4 common stock by the Additional Investors similar to those herein ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Additional Investor Agreements”). GigCapital4 agrees not to provide the Additional Investors material terms in the Additional Investor Agreements that are more favorable to such Additional Investors than the terms provided to the Investors in this Agreement. In the event that GigCapital4 provides the Additional Investors with material terms in the Additional Investor Agreements that are more favorable than the terms provided to the Investors in this Agreement at any time prior to the Business Combination Closing Date, GigCapital4 shall promptly inform the Principal Investors of such more favorable terms, and the Principal Investors shall have the mutual right to elect to have such more favorable terms included herein, in which case the Parties shall promptly amend this Agreement to effect the same.

(h) Security Agreement in Escrow Account. To secure the obligations of GigCapital4 and the Company under this Agreement, GigCapital4 and the Company each grant to the Principal Investors a security interest in, and lien on, all right, title, and interest of GigCapital4 and the Company in and to the Escrow Account in respect of all funds required to satisfy GigCapital4’s and the Company’s obligations hereunder, the Escrow Agreement, all rights related thereto, and all proceeds, products, and profits of the foregoing. In the event of a default by GigCapital4 or the Company under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, then, in addition to any other rights the Principal Investors may have under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and applicable law, the Principal Investors shall also have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York. GigCapital4 and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file such UCC financing statements or other documents as reasonably directed by the Principal Investors with respect to their security interests.

 

6


(i) Indemnification. GigCapital4 (referred to as the “Indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify the Investors and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders (collectively referred to as the “Indemnitees”) against, and hold them harmless of and from, any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket outside counsel fees, which the Indemnitees may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding, in each case, brought by a third party creditor of GigCapital4, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries asserting that the Investors are not entitled to receive the aggregate Share Purchase Price or such portion thereof as they are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1(a) and Section 4(d) of this Agreement, in each case unless such action, claim or proceeding is the result of the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Indemnitee.

5. Closing Conditions. The obligation of the Company to purchase the Shares at the Shares Closing under this Agreement shall be subject in all respects to the consummation of the Business Combination, such Shares being free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances as of the Shares Closing and such Shares being continuously held by the Investors from the closing of the Business Combination through the three (3) month anniversary of the Business Combination Closing Date.

 

  6.

Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:

(a) at any time by mutual written consent of all Parties;

(b) automatically if the stockholders of GigCapital4 fail to approve the Business Combination; and

(c) prior to the closing of the Business Combination by mutual agreement of the Principal Investors if there occurs a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement); provided that, solely for purposes of this Agreement (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the Merger Agreement), the failure of the counterparties to the Note Subscription Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to fund or cause the funding of 25% or greater of the aggregate amount of the Notes (as defined in the Merger Agreement) when required to do so pursuant to the terms of the Note Subscription Agreements shall constitute a Company Material Adverse Effect.

In the event of termination in accordance with Section 6(a), 6(b) or 6(c), this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of Glazer, Meteora, GigCapital4, or the Company and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, or stockholders and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all rights and obligations of each Party shall immediately cease; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6 shall relieve any Party from liabilities or damages arising out of any actual fraud or willful breach by such party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement prior to termination of this Agreement.

This Agreement, the entire relationship of the Parties, and any litigation among the Parties (whether grounded in contract, tort, statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its choice of laws or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Any dispute arising from or relating to the relative rights of the parties hereto and all other

 

8


questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement, shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) or, to the extent the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the appellate courts having jurisdiction of appeals in such courts (the “Delaware Federal Court”) or, to the extent neither the Court of Chancery nor the Delaware Federal Court has subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”), and, solely with respect to any such action (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action in the Chosen Courts, and (iii) waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party hereto.

(k) Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except with the prior written consent of all Parties.

(l) Severability. The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any Party or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its terms, the Parties agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives such that it is enforceable, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which commercial banks in New York are obligated by any applicable law to close. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If a Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

 

9


(o) Waiver. No waiver by a Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.

(p) Specific Performance. Each Party agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed by any other Party in accordance with the terms hereof and that the other Parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
