2. Closing. The closing of the sale, purchase and issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon, and shall occur substantially concurrently with, the closing of the Transaction, but shall occur immediately after the Reverse Share Split (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) and immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Merger (the date the Closing so occurs, the “Closing Date”).

The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Elong, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls Elong (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 any Resale Registration Statement, in any Prospectus or in any preliminary Prospectus, or in 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 in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of Class A Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

c. Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) 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 (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party 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 (1) 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), (2) 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, or (3) contains any statement of fault or culpability.

 

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 Class A Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

 

 
 

 

e. If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 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 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, in any action in question, 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 7 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the liability of the Investor pursuant to this Section 7 be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Class A Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to this Subscription Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation, and such obligations of the Investor shall be several and not joint.

 

8. 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 or (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement (the termination events described in clauses (a)–(b) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”); provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful and material breach of any covenant, agreement, obligation, representation or warranty hereunder prior to the time of termination, 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 and material breach. Elong shall notify the Investor in writing of the termination of the Transaction Agreement as promptly as practicable after the termination of the Transaction Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any monies paid by the Investor to Elong in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) business days) following the Termination Event be returned to the Investor.

 

9. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that the SPAC is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the SPAC and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in the SPAC’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated March 27, 2023 (the “Final Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of the SPAC’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of the SPAC’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of the SPAC, its public stockholders and the underwriters of the SPAC’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the SPAC to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Final Prospectus. For and in consideration of the SPAC entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to the SPAC’s public stockholders or to the underwriters of the SPAC’s initial public offering in respect of their deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account), and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of publicly traded ordinary shares of the SPAC acquired in an open market transaction, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such ordinary shares, in accordance with the SPAC’s memorandum and articles of association, as amended and/or restated from time to time, and the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and the SPAC, dated March 27, 2023, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed in writing with the SPAC, Elong or any of their respective affiliates to not exercise such redemption right.

 

 
 

 

10. Miscellaneous.

 

a. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder may be transferred or assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after notifying Elong, Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of Investor) or, with Elong’s prior written consent, to another person; provided, that prior to such assignment, any such assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms hereof. No such assignment shall relieve the Investor of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations.

 

b. Elong may request from the Investor such additional information as Elong may deem necessary to register the resale of the Class A Ordinary Shares and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Class A Ordinary Shares, and the Investor shall promptly provide any such information as may be reasonably requested to the extent readily available.

Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify Elong and the SPAC in writing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by email) if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations or warranties set forth in Section 6 above are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Investor shall notify Elong and the SPAC if they are no longer accurate in any respect). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Investor of the Class A Ordinary Shares from Elong will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein by the Investor as of the time of such purchase. Elong acknowledges that the Investor will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Elong contained in this Subscription Agreement.

f. This Subscription Agreement may not be terminated other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 above. The provisions of this Subscription Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto. No failure or delay of either party hereto 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.

 

 
 

 

g. This Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the schedules hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in Section 7, Section 9, Section 10.d, Section 10.f, this Section 10.g and Section 11 with respect to the persons specifically referenced therein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such persons so referenced are third party beneficiaries of this Subscription Agreement with right of enforcement for the purposes of, and to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to the applicable provisions.

 

h. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

 

i. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

 

j. This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including, without limitation, by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

k. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

m. Each party hereto hereby, and any person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary may do so only if it, irrevocably agrees that any action, suit or proceeding between or among the parties hereto, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, arising in connection with any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or any related document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (“Legal Dispute”) shall be brought only to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York or the federal courts located in the State of New York, and each party hereto hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it, he or she may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. During the period a Legal Dispute that is filed in accordance with this Section 10.m is pending before a court, all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute, including any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.
