WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, the Investor desires to subscribe for and purchase, prior to the closing of the Transaction but following the consummation of the Recapitalization (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), such number of ordinary shares in the Issuer, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Shares”) set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Schedule I hereto for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price”), for the aggregate purchase price set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Schedule I hereto (the “Subscription Amount”), and the Issuer desires to issue and sell to the Investor the Shares in consideration of the payment of the Subscription Amount therefor by or on behalf of the Investor to the Issuer, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, the Issuer is entering into separate subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Other PIPE Investors,” together with the Investor, collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), which are on substantially the same terms as the terms of this Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which the Other PIPE Investors will agree to subscribe for and purchase in cash, and the Issuer will agree to issue and sell to the Other PIPE Investors, on the Closing Date, Shares at the Per Share Purchase Price.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Investor, the Shares, on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for herein.

2. Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the closing date of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”) and be conditioned upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof. Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) the Issuer to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”) that the Issuer reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on an expected closing date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to the Issuer, (a) three (3) business days prior to the expected closing date specified in the Closing Notice, the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account in an escrow bank specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice, to be held in escrow until the closing of the First Merger, or (b) on the expected closing date specified in the Closing Notice, the Subscription Amount to an account specified by the Issuer, or otherwise mutually agreed by the Investor and the Issuer due to regulatory reasons that apply to such Investor, by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds. As soon as practicable following, but not later than one (1) business day after the Closing Date, the Issuer shall (i) issue the Shares to the Investor, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under applicable securities laws) and subsequently cause the Shares to be registered in book-entry form in the name of the Investor on the Issuer’s register of members and (ii) provide to the Investor evidence of such issuance from the Issuer’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”). For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York, the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong SAR and People’s Republic of China (excluding, for the purposes of this Agreement only, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan, “PRC”), are authorized or required by law to close. If the Closing does not occur within ten (10) business days following the expected closing date specified in the Closing Notice, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Issuer and the Investor, the Issuer shall promptly (but not later than two (2) business days thereafter) cause the return of the Subscription Amount in full to the Investor by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Investor, and any book-entries for the Shares shall be deemed cancelled (to the extent the Shares are issued); provided that unless this Subscription Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 6, such return of funds shall not terminate this Subscription Agreement or relieve the Investor of its obligation to purchase the Shares at the Closing upon delivery by the Issuer of a subsequent Closing Notice in accordance with the terms of this Section 2. Prior to or on the Closing Date, the Investor shall deliver to the Issuer any other information that is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the Issuer to issue the Shares, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name such Shares are to be issued and a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable.

5. Registration Rights

5.1 The Issuer agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, it will file with the SEC (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof; provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligations to include such shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Investor furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Investor, the securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Shares, and Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement as permitted hereunder.

5.2 The Issuer agrees to, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Shares to be issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, or (iii) on the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) without the public information, volume or manner of sale limitations of such rule (such date, the “End Date”).

5.3 Prior to the End Date, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the Shares for listing on the applicable stock exchange. The Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to the Issuer upon request to assist it in making the determination with respect to Rule 144 described in clause (iii) of Section 5.2 above. The Issuer may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form F-3 at such time after the Issuer becomes eligible to use such Form F-3. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer may suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that in order for such registration statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act.

5.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered shall be reduced (a) firstly, pro rata among all the selling shareholders other than the PIPE Investors; and (b) secondly, only if the number of Shares to be registered for the selling shareholders other than the PIPE Investors has been reduced to zero, pro rata among the PIPE Investors, and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable and as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended.

5.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the Investor not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if (a) the use of the Registration Statement would require the inclusion of financial statements that are unavailable for reasons beyond the Issuer’s control, (b) the Issuer determines that in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, (i) an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act or (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Issuer or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event that the Issuer reasonably believes would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Issuer’s board of directors to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”). Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Investor agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Issuer shall not include any material non-public information in any such written notice. If so directed by the Issuer, the Investor will deliver to the Issuer or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in the Investor’s possession.

5.6 Indemnification.

(a) The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor, its directors, and officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Issuer by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein or such Investor has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any other law, rule or regulation thereunder; provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this Section 5.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid by the Investor in settlement of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or out-of-pocket expenses if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Issuer. In no event shall the liability of the Issuer be greater in amount than the dollar amount received by the Issuer under this Subscription Amount.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, the Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of the Investor shall be several and not joint with any Other PIPE Investor and in no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Investor upon the sale of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel it elects in its sole discretion. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the indemnified party and shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

10

(d) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

(e) If the indemnification provided under this Section 5.6(e) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by or on behalf of, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 5.6(e) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Any contribution pursuant to this Section 5.6(e) by any seller of Shares shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any party be liable for consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages in connection with this Subscription Agreement.

6. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms without being consummated, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, and (c) March 15, 2024, or, if the Termination Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) is extended by the parties thereto, such later date, if the Closing has not occurred by such date other than as a result of a breach of the Investor’s obligations hereunder; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination (for the avoidance of doubt, the Investor shall provide basic information as required for the ODI Approval, and shall not be deemed as in breach hereof nor be liable in the event that the Investor fails to obtain and complete the ODI Approval despite that the Investor has provided such necessary information), and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. The Issuer shall notify the Investor in writing of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement. Upon the termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with this Section 6, any monies paid by the Investor to the Issuer in connection herewith shall be promptly (and in any event within two (2) business days after such termination) returned to the Investor.

No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.
