NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Lock-Up.
(a) During the Lock-up Period (as defined below), the Holder irrevocably agrees that it, he or she will not transfer, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the Lock-up Shares (as defined below), enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such Lock-up Shares, whether any of these transactions are to be settled by delivery of any such Lock-up Shares, in cash or otherwise, publicly disclose the intention to make any transfer, offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement or to effect any of the transaction specified above, or engage in any Short Sales (as defined below) with respect to any security of Purchaser.
(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser will (i) place an irrevocable stop order on all Lock-up Shares, including those which may be covered by a registration statement, and (ii) notify Purchaser’s transfer agent in writing of the stop order and the restrictions on such Lock-up Shares under this Agreement and direct Purchaser’s transfer agent not to process any attempts by the Holder to resell or transfer any Lock-up Shares, except in compliance with this Agreement.
(c) For purposes hereof, “Short Sales” include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-US broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.
(d) For purpose of this Agreement, the “Lock-up Period” shall mean, (i) with respect to the Lock-up Shares other than the Earnout Shares, the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is one (1) year thereafter; and (ii) with respect to the Earnout Shares, the period commending on the date of the issuance of such Earnout Shares and ending on the date that is one (1) year thereafter.
The restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to: (1) in the case of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust or other entity, transfers or distributions to the Holder’s current general or limited partners, managers or members, stockholders, other equity holders or direct or indirect affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) or to the estates of any of the foregoing; (2) transfers by bona fide gift to a member of the Holder’s immediate family (for purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean with respect to any natural person, any of the following: such person’s spouse, the siblings of such person and his or her spouse, and the direct descendants and ascendants (including adopted and step children and parents), in each case, of such person) or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is the Holder or a member of the Holder’s immediate family for estate planning purposes; (3) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of the Holder; or (4) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, provided that in each case such transferee, distributee or devisee shall agree to be bound in writing by the terms of this Agreement prior to such transfer or disposition.
In addition, after the Closing Date, if there is a Change of Control, then upon the consummation of such Change of Control, all Lock-up Shares shall be released from the restrictions contained herein. A “Change of Control” means: (a) the sale of all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of Purchaser and Purchaser subsidiaries to a third-party purchaser; (b) a sale resulting in no less than a majority of the voting power of the Purchaser being held by person that did not own a majority of the voting power prior to such sale; or (c) a merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reorganization of Purchaser with or into a third-party purchaser that results in the inability of the pre-transaction equity holders to designate or elect a majority of the Board of Directors (or its equivalent) of the resulting entity or its parent company.
2. Early Release.
(a) If after the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date (in the case of the Lock-up Shares other than the Earnout Shares), the VWAP of the Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares over any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty (30) Trading Day period is greater than or equal to $15.00 (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalization, subdivisions, reorganization, recapitalization and other similar arrangements), 20% of the Lock-up Shares (other than the Earnout Shares) shall be released from this Agreement and no longer be subject to the restrictions set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the early release arrangement contemplated by this Section 2(a) shall not apply for more than once and no more than 20% of the Lock-up Shares (other than the Earnout Shares) shall be released from this Agreement.
(b) If after the date that is six (6) months after the date of the issuance of the relevant Earnout Shares, the VWAP of the Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares over any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty (30) Trading Day period is greater than or equal to $15.00 (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalization, subdivisions, reorganization, recapitalization and other similar arrangements), 20% of such Earnout Shares issued on such issuance date shall be released from this Agreement and no longer be subject to the restrictions set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the early release arrangement contemplated by this Section 2(b) shall not apply for more than once and no more than 20% of such Earnout Shares shall be released from this Agreement.
