Financing Agreements

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Purchaser has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to, within sixty (60) days following the date of the Merger Agreement:

(A) enter into definitive agreements (i) with certain investors pursuant to which such investors will purchase shares of Purchaser Common Stock at a purchase price of ten dollars ($10.00) per share, and/or (ii) with certain “beneficial owners” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of Purchaser Common Stock pursuant to which such Purchaser stockholders shall agree not to redeem their shares of Purchaser Common Stock in connection with the Merger and to waive their redemption rights under the Purchaser’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; provided that the combination of proceeds under (i) and (ii) shall be equal to an aggregate of at least ten-million dollars ($10,000,000) held inside or outside the Trust Account immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (the “Equity Investment”); and

(B) enter into definitive agreements with certain investors pursuant to which such investors will purchase convertible notes of Purchaser with an aggregate principal funding equal to thirty million dollars ($30,000,000), in a private placement or placements to be consummated immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (the “Debt Investment” and together with the Equity Investment, the “Transaction Financing”).

The Debt Investment

Senior Debt. In connection with the Debt Investment, Purchaser entered into a non-binding Term Sheet dated as of May 6, 2022 (the “Term Sheet”) with funds and accounts managed or advised by Cohanzick Management, LLC (“Cohanzick”) and CrossingBridge Management, LLC (“CrossingBridge”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Cohanzick and CrossingBridge will agree to fund $17,142,857 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Convertible Notes, consisting of aggregate cash to Purchaser of $15 million and an original issue discount (“OID”) of $2,142,857 (the “Senior Debt”), which Senior Debt will be issued in a single closing that will occur concurrently with the Closing. If the net cash to the Purchaser’s balance sheet after paydown of debt, fees and expenses in connection with the Merger is below $30,000,000, the OID of the Senior Debt shall be adjusted as follows: for every $1,000,000 below $30,000,000 (and above $18,000,000) in net cash to the Purchaser’s balance sheet, the OID shall increase by 0.33%.

Interest on the Senior Debt will accrue and be paid quarterly at the rate of 9.00% per annum in cash based on a 365-day year. Unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased, all principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest under the Senior Debt will be due and payable 36 months after the issuance date of the Senior Debt (the “Senior Debt Maturity Date”). The repayment of the Senior Debt will not be amortized. Prior to the Senior Debt Maturity Date, the holders of the Senior Debt may, at their sole discretion, elect to convert the Senior Debt into Purchaser Common Stock. Initially, the conversion price of the Senior Debt will be $13.00 per share (the “Senior Debt Conversion Price”). The Senior Debt Conversion Price will be subject to reset to the lower of a 5% premium to the market price of Purchaser Common Stock 6 months and 12 months after the Closing, subject to $5.50 per share floor. The Senior Debt will contain customary mandatory prepayment provisions, including prepayment with net proceeds of certain indebtedness, asset sales, and casualty events, provided that the holders of the Senior Debt shall have the option to waive any such prepayments. In addition, the Senior Debt will also be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments and “make-whole” increases in connection with certain fundamental changes. The Senior Debt may be prepaid at par after 18 months from the issuance date upon 30 days’ notice.

Upon closing of the Senior Debt, the holders of the Senior Debt shall receive warrants of Purchaser with 10% warrant coverage and an exercise price equal to $11.50 per share (such warrants, the “Senior Debt Warrants”). The Senior Debt Warrants will be exercisable for a period of 5 years from the Closing. The Senior Debt Warrants shall be issued pursuant to the warrant agreement governing the Purchaser Warrants (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and shall be subject to the terms and conditions thereof, as modified (whether the terms such modification are reflected in the terms of the Senior Debt Warrants issued at the Closing, or in an amendment to or exchange for the Lender Warrants (as defined below) consummated after the Closing).

Junior Debt. Pursuant to the Term Sheet, Craig-Hallum Capital Group and Roth Capital Partners (the “Placement Agents”) will use their best efforts to place $16,666,667 in aggregate principal amount of secured convertible notes, consisting of aggregate cash to Purchaser of $15 million and an OID of $1,666,667 (the “Junior Debt”). The Junior Debt will be subordinated to the Senior Debt through an intercreditor agreement among the lenders. The principal, interest and any other amounts owing under the Junior Debt shall be secured by second priority security interests, and liens on all present and after-acquired assets of Purchaser and subsidiary guarantors, including, but without limitation, a pledge of the equity interests directly or indirectly held by Purchaser and its subsidiary guarantors, as to be set forth in the security agreement to be entered into in connection with the closing of the Junior Debt, subject to customary exceptions.

Interest on the Junior Debt shall accrue on all outstanding principal amounts at the rate of Prime + 6.50% per annum PIK or cash, payable quarterly at the election of Purchaser. The date of maturity of the Junior Debt shall occur on the latter of the 40th month anniversary from the Closing, or 120 days after the maturity of the Senior Debt (the “Junior Debt Maturity Date”). The repayment of the Junior Debt will not be amortized. Prior to the Junior Debt Maturity Date, each holder of Junior Debt may, at its sole discretion, elect to convert the Junior Debt into Purchaser Common Stock. Initially, the conversion price of the Junior Debt will be $11.50 per share (the “Junior Debt Conversion Price”). The Junior Debt Conversion Price will be subject to reset to the lower of a 5% premium to the market price of Purchaser Common Stock 6 months and 12 months after Closing subject to $4.50 per share floor. The Junior Debt will contain customary mandatory prepayment provisions, including prepayment with net proceeds of certain indebtedness, asset sales, and casualty events, provided that the holders of Junior Debt shall have the option to waive any such prepayments. The Purchaser will have the option to prepay (the “Optional Prepayment”) all or any portion of the Junior Debt at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest, upon 30 business days written notice, in cash or in stock at any time after 18 months from the date of issuance if the Daily VWAP of the Purchaser Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days exceeds $18.00. Notwithstanding, the Optional Prepayment may not be paid in cash while the Senior Debt is outstanding.

Upon closing of the Junior Debt, the holders of the Junior Debt shall receive warrants of Purchaser with 100% warrant coverage and an exercise price equal to $20.00 per share (such warrants, the “Junior Debt Warrants” and together with the Senior Debt Warrants, the “Lender Warrants”). The Junior Debt Warrants will be exercisable for a period of 10 years from the Closing. The Junior Debt Warrants shall be issued pursuant to the warrant agreement governing the Purchaser Warrants (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and shall be subject to the terms and conditions thereof, as modified (whether the terms such modification are reflected in the terms of the Junior Debt Warrants issued at the Closing, or in an amendment to or exchange for the Lender Warrants consummated after the Closing).

Cohanzick agrees and is obligated to backstop the $15,000,000 of Junior Debt to the extent the Placement Agents are not able to place the full $15,000,000 (“the “Backstop”). Cohanzick will receive 90,000 Purchaser Common Stock from the Placement Agents that are otherwise due to the Placement Agents as part of their placement agent fee on the Junior Debt. For every $1,000.00 that is purchased by parties other than Cohanzick (the “Junior Debt Note Purchasers”), the Placement Agents will receive 6.00 shares of Purchaser Common Stock from Cohanzick, up to a total of 90,000 shares of Purchaser Common Stock.

At Closing, Cohanzick will receive 50,000 newly issued shares of Purchaser Common Stock as a commitment fee in return for backstopping the Junior Debt. In addition, at Closing, Cohanzick will receive 250,000 newly issued shares of Purchaser Common Stock (the “Bonus Shares”). Cohanzick will transfer the Bonus Shares, pro rata, to the Junior Debt Note Purchasers.

The closing of the Junior Debt shall be subject to closing conditions customary for debt facilities and transactions of this type.

General. The Debt Investment described above is subject to the negotiation and entering into of definitive agreements for the Debt Investment. Such definitive agreements are expected to include customary provisions for high yield debt financings and will contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, financial reporting requirements, negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants included in the definitive documentation for the Debt Investment will impose restrictions on the ability of Purchaser, the guarantors and their subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, make acquisitions, declare and pay restricted payments, prepay junior or subordinated debt, sell assets and enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case, subject to certain customary exceptions. In addition, the Debt Investment will require compliance with certain financial covenants, specifically a monthly minimum revenue covenant and a minimum liquidity covenant. We will file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing the terms of any material definitive agreement entered into by Lakeshore relating to the Debt Investment and we will file such material definitive agreements as exhibits to such Form 8-K.

Based on majority vote of the Senior Debt and the Junior Debt, and subject to the terms of the Financing Agreements, the debt holders will name one representative to the Purchaser’s board of directors following the consummation of the Merger.

There can be no assurance that Purchaser will be able to arrange the Transaction Financing.

Escrow Agreement

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser, HGP II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the representative of the Company Stockholders, and an escrow agent will enter into an Escrow Agreement pursuant to which Purchaser will deposit a number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to three percent (3.0%) of the Merger Consideration in escrow for post-closing adjustments (if any) to the Merger Consideration as contemplated under the Merger Agreement.
