ARTICLE 1 - E8 Fees
The Parties hereby agree that E8 shall receive special fees in the event of a Liquidity Injection (hereinafter, the “Fees”), under the terms and conditions set forth in Article 2.
The Fees are related to the completion of a Liquidity Injection, in the event of which Allego NV would perceive Proceeds from a Third Party.
The amount of the Fees shall correspond to the Applicable Rate (as defined below) multiplied by the amount of the Proceeds received under a Liquidity Injection.
ARTICLE 2 - Applicable Rate
2.1 The applicable rate for the calculation of the Fees (the “Applicable Rate”) shall be determined by applying following formulas:
| • | If VT < 1.2 x VI then the Applicable Rate is zero, |
| • | If 1.2 x VI <= VT < 2.5 x VI then the Applicable Rate equals to (10% x (VT – 1.2 x VI)) / VT, |
2
| • | If 1.8 x VI <= VT < 2.5 x VI then the Applicable Rate equals to (6% x VI + 15% x (VT – 1.8 x VI)) / VT, |
| • | If 2.5 x VI <= VT then the Applicable Rate equals to (16.5% x VI + 20% x (VT – 2.5 x VI)) / VT |
where:
VI (or initial value of the Allego NV Securities) equals to €240 million, it being specified that this value shall be adjusted, if applicable, at the time of a relevant Liquidity Injection (except for the amounts received under the SPAC Transaction), for the purpose of adding any amount received in connection with previous Liquidity Injections.
VT (or earned value of the Allego NV Securities) corresponds to the value of all entities comprising the Allego Group following completion of a relevant Liquidity Injection (post-money).
By way of exception, with respect to the first Liquidity Injection following the completion of the SPAC Transaction, VT will be equal to the greater of (i) the value of the Allego NV Securities at the time of the SPAC Transaction (i.e., on the basis of $10.00 per common share) and (ii) the value of all of the entities comprising the Allego Group at the time of the completion of such Liquidity Injection (post-money).
2.2 In the event that an initial Liquidity Injection is followed by one or more additional Liquidity Injections, the calculation of the Applicable Rate shall also apply to each such event in accordance with the following formulas, for the application of which:
VTn = value of the VT variable at the time of the n-th Liquidity Injection.
| • | if VTn <= VTn-1, VTn-1 being the earned value (VT) at the time immediately preceding the n-th Liquidity Injection, then the Applicable Rate for the n-th Liquidity Injection is zero. |
| • | if VTn > VTn-1, VTn-1 being the earned value (VT) at the time immediately preceding the n-th Liquidity Injection, then the Applicable Rate for the n-th Liquidity Injection equals to the rate of the Applicable Rate calculated by applying the foregoing formulae, using the VTn value. |
2.3 In any event, the amount of the Fees shall be paid to E8 no later than fifteen days after completion of the Liquidity Injection by Madeleine.
ARTICLE 3 - Rendez-vous clause
In the event that a Liquidity Injection into any entity of the Allego Group other than Allego NV (an “Alternative Transaction”) is contemplated, the Parties shall meet and discuss in good faith the adjustments to be made to this Agreement to reflect the Alternative Transaction in the determination of the Fees.
ARTICLE 4 - Entry into force
The Parties agree that this Agreement is entered into on the date hereof.
ARTICLE 5 - Term
This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) 30 June 2025 and (ii) the date on which Madeleine would cease to own, directly or indirectly, any Securities of Allego NV.
This Article 5 is without prejudice to the provisions of Articles 1 and 2, so that if one or more Liquidity Injections would occur, the rights granted to E8 under these Articles shall be fully enforceable, without it being possible to invoke the effects of termination of the contractual relationship.
3
ARTICLE 6 - Acting in good faith
6.1 If any of the provisions of the Agreement becomes void, unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it shall not call into question the validity, enforceability or legality of the other provisions of the Agreement. In such event, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in order to substitute the void, unenforceable, invalid or illegal provision with a lawful provision corresponding to its spirit and purpose thereof.
Likewise, the Parties agree that if, notably for technical reasons, the mechanisms provided for in this Agreement cannot be implemented or cannot be fully implemented, they shall negotiate in good faith any adjustments that are to be made in compliance with the spirit of the Agreement.
6.2 Each Party undertakes to regularize any deed or document necessary to implement the operations provided for in the Agreement and to communicate to the other Party all information necessary for this purpose.
6.3 The Parties agree that in the event of disagreement concerning the application of the formulas referred to in Article 2 above, they shall appoint by mutual agreement an independent expert whose mission shall be strictly limited to determining the result of the application of the said formulas (the “Expert”). If no agreement on the appointment of said Expert is reached within fifteen days following the date on which one of the Parties shall have indicated to the other its wish to proceed with the appointment of an Expert, the latter shall be appointed by the President of the Commercial Court of Paris, referred to by the most diligent Party.
The decision of the Expert shall not be subject to appeal, except in the event of manifest or gross error on his part or violation of the law and regulations in force.
The costs of the expertise shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, be borne equally by the Parties.
The Expert shall notify the Parties in writing of his findings as soon as possible and where possible, within thirty days of his appointment.
ARTICLE 7 - Notifications
Any notices or communications under this Agreement shall only be effective if made in writing and sent by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt (or any equivalent regarding international mail), or by fax (the fax shall be confirmed on the same day by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt) to the address and attention of the Party concerned.
Such notice shall be deemed received, in the case of faxes, on the business day following the day of sending, in the case of registered letters with acknowledgement of receipt, on the third business day following the day of sending and in the case of notice delivered by hand, on the day of delivery.
In the event of a change of address or recipient, the Party concerned shall notify the other Parties in the aforementioned forms.
ARTICLE 8 - Waiver of Article 1195 of the French Civil Code
Without prejudice to the other provisions of Article 6 hereof, each Party agrees that the application of the provisions of Article 1195 of the French Civil Code to its obligations under the Agreement is excluded and acknowledges that it will not be authorized to invoke the provisions of Article 1195 of the French Civil Code.
