(b) if the SPAC Transaction Expenses exceed US$2,500,000 (such excess amount, the “Excess SPAC Expenses”), the Sponsor may surrender a number of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor to SPAC or acquire additional SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in cash at an aggregate value equal to the Excess SPAC Expenses, in each case, prior to the Merger Closing, with each SPAC Ordinary Share issued, purchased or surrendered valued at $10.00 per share (as appropriately adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations or similar events of the SPAC); and
(c) if the Aggregate Financing Amount equals or exceeds US$20,000,000 but is less than US$40,000,000, the Sponsor may, prior to the Merger Closing, at its discretion, subscribe for additional SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares at $10.00 per share (as appropriately adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations or similar events of SPAC) in cash in full in immediately available funds prior to the Merger Closing at the aggregate value equal to (x) US$40,000,000 minus (y) the Aggregate Financing Amount.
For the avoid of doubt, the satisfaction of the Sponsor’s obligations to purchase additional SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares or surrender SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 4.9(a), Section 4.9(b) or Section 4.9(c) above shall not relieve the Sponsor of any of its obligations under the other two subsections, to the extent applicable.
4.10 Transaction Financings.
(a) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the terms and conditions of any Transaction Financing shall be mutually agreed by the PubCo and the SPAC.
(b) Each of the Sponsor and SPAC agrees that the gross proceeds of any Private Financing pursuant to which investors will invest in SPAC shall be deposited in a segregated escrow account and be irrevocably and unconditionally released to PubCo at the Merger Closing (or another time mutually agreed by PubCo and the investors).
