The escrow account shall be established with an escrow agent and on terms and conditions mutually agreeable to Ideation and the SM Shareholders’ Representatives, provided that the cash exercise price so delivered shall be released to ID Cayman upon written notice from the SM Shareholders’ Representatives following the Closing, at which time the shares underlying such warrants (the “Warrant Shares” ) shall be issued to the Persons who have so elected such exercise (each, a “Sponsor Warrant Holder” ).

Such purchases shall be made pursuant to a purchase agreement in reasonable and customary form and substance for a transaction of such nature, which shall include customary registration rights with respect to the shares acquired, which rights shall be pari passu with other registration rights granted to holders of ID Cayman Securities.

The exercise price per whole ID Cayman Share of such New Warrants shall be US$7.8815, and the aggregate number of shares underlying such New Warrants shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Such issuance shall be conditioned upon the execution and delivery by the holder of such an Acquired Share or Sponsor Warrant Holder of a purchase agreement in reasonable and customary form and substance for a transaction of such nature, which shall include customary registration rights with respect to the ID Cayman Shares underlying such New Warrants, which rights shall be pari passu with other registration rights granted to holders of ID Cayman Securities. Each holder of Acquired Shares and each Sponsor Warrant Holder shall be a third-party beneficiary to this provision for so long as he or it holds any Acquired Shares or is in escrow pursuant to Section 12.10 (a) with respect to any Warrant Shares.”
