AMENDED AND RESTATED

SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement, dated as of [●], 202[●] (this “Agreement”), is made by and among (i) Newegg Commerce, Inc., a business company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (the “Company”), as assignee of Newegg, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Newegg Delaware”), (ii) the Persons whose names appear on the signature pages hereto (collectively, the “Newegg Shareholders”), and (iii) Digital Grid (Hong Kong) Technology Co., Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (“Digital Grid”), Hangzhou Lianluo Interactive Technology Co., Ltd., a corporation incorporated in the Peoples’ Republic of China, and Hyperfinite Galaxy Holding Limited (collectively, the parties in this clause (iii), “Liaison” and, together with the Newegg Shareholders, the “Principal Shareholders”). Each of the parties hereto is sometimes referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties” in this Agreement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Newegg Delaware, Digital Grid, and the Newegg Shareholders entered into that certain Stockholders Agreement on March 30, 2017 (the “Original Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Newegg Delaware, the Company (under its former name of Lianluo Smart Limited), and Lightning Delaware Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 23, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub merged with and into Newegg Delaware (the “Merger”), with Newegg Delaware surviving as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company; and

WHEREAS, as a condition to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, the Original Agreement must be amended and restated and replaced in its entirety by this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties intending to be legally bound agree as follows:

Article I.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS

Section 1.01 Resale of Shares.

(a) General Restriction. The Principal Shareholders shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, not Transfer all or any portion of Company Shares without first complying with the provisions of this Article I and applicable Law.

8

(b) Affiliate Transfers. Notwithstanding Section 1.01 or Section 1.03, a Principal Shareholder and its Affiliates may Transfer Company Shares to an Affiliate (an “Affiliate Transferee”) so long as such Affiliate Transferee executes a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A (a “Joinder”) hereto agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement which bind such Principal Shareholder as if such Affiliate Transferee were such Principal Shareholder for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Permitted Transfers. Each of the Principal Shareholders may Transfer all or any portion of its Company Shares to a Permitted Transferee without approval of the Board only in compliance with this Article I and only if such Permitted Transferee executes a Joinder agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement which bind such Principal Shareholder and such other documents and instruments as the Board may reasonably request as necessary or appropriate to confirm such Permitted Transferee as a stockholder in the Company.

(d) Transferrable Rights and Obligations. Upon a Transfer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by any Principal Shareholder of a portion or all of its Company Shares, the Permitted Transferee shall (i) be bound by the obligations of the Transferring Principal Shareholder hereunder and (ii) shall have such rights of the Transferring Principal Shareholder under this Agreement as the Principal Shareholder shall assign in its sole discretion.

Section 1.02 Pre-Emptive Rights.

(a) In the event that the Company intends to issue any Company Shares or other Equity Interests (including securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for Company Shares or other Equity Interests) after the date hereof, other than any Excluded Issuance or in connection with a Public Offering (the “New Securities”), the Company shall give written notice (a “Preemption Notice”) thereof to the Principal Shareholders, which shall, as set forth below, provide each Principal Shareholder the right to subscribe for its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities.

(b) Each Preemption Notice (i) shall set forth the price (or formula by which the price will be determined, which may refer to a future contingent event) and terms on which the Company proposes to issue the New Securities, together with a calculation of such Principal Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share of the New Securities (the “Preemption Terms”), and (ii) offer to issue to each Principal Shareholder up to such Pro Rata Share of the New Securities on the Preemption Terms, which offer must remain open until at least the close of business on the 15th Business Day following the date on which the Principal Shareholder receives or is deemed (pursuant to Section 5.07) to receive the Preemption Notice (the “Preemption Election Period”). Each Principal Shareholder exercising its preemptive rights must, within the Preemption Election Period, advise the Company in writing (the “Preemption Exercise Notice”) whether it is exercising its rights (in whole or in part) hereunder and deliver payment in full for the New Securities it elects to purchase. If a Principal Shareholder fails to deliver a Preemption Exercise Notice, together with payment for the New Securities, within the Preemption Election Period, then such Principal Shareholder shall be deemed to have waived its purchase rights under this Section 1.02 in connection with such offering of New Securities (and, for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not operate as a waiver with respect to any future offerings of New Securities).

9

(c) In the event any Principal Shareholder fails to give the Company a Preemption Exercise Notice within the Preemption Election Period, or elects to purchase fewer than all of its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, then, the Company shall give written notice of any such unsubscribed New Securities to any Principal Shareholder who has elected to purchase all of its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, and each such Principal Shareholder shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Company within 2 Business Days of receiving or being deemed (pursuant to Section 5.07) to have received such written notice from the Company, to purchase its Pro Rata Share of such unsubscribed New Securities on the Preemption Terms, and such right shall continue to apply repeatedly and iteratively until all New Securities have been allocated to the Principal Shareholders or none of the Principal Shareholders have elected to participate in such further purchase. If, at the end of such process, there are New Securities that have not been subscribed for by the Principal Shareholders, the Company may, for a period of time not to exceed 60 days, sell such unsubscribed New Securities, on the Preemption Terms, to a Third Party Purchaser. If, however, at the end of such 60-day period, the Company has not consummated a sale of any of such unsubscribed New Securities, the Company shall no longer be permitted to sell such New Securities without again complying with this Section 1.02.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any issuance of Equity Interest (other than an Excluded Issuance) by any Subsidiary of the Company other than to the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed an issuance by the Company of its Equity Interests to which the preemptive rights under this Section 1.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis.

Section 1.03 Right of First Refusal.

(a) In the event that any Principal Shareholder or any of its Affiliates (a “Transferring Shareholder”) receives a bona fide offer from one or more Persons other than an Affiliate Transferee (each, a “Third Party Purchaser”) to acquire any or all of its or its Affiliates’ Company Shares, and such Transferring Shareholder desires to Transfer any or all of its Company Shares (the “ROFR Shares”) to such Third Party Purchaser pursuant to such bona fide offer (a “ROFR Sale”), then (i) the Company shall have the right (a “ROFR Right”), but not the obligation, to elect to purchase all (and not less than all) of the ROFR Shares proposed to be Transferred to the Third Party Purchaser, at the same price, and on the same terms and conditions offered by the Third Party Purchaser (the “ROFR Terms”), (ii) in the event the Company does not deliver a ROFR Exercise Notice during the Company ROFR Exercise Period, or delivers a ROFR Exercise Notice for less than all of the ROFR Shares, then each of the Principal Shareholders other than the Transferring Shareholders (each, a “ROFR Shareholder”) shall have a ROFR Right to elect to purchase all (and not less than all) of its Pro Rata Share of the ROFR Shares proposed to be Transferred to the Third Party Purchaser on the ROFR Terms. In the event that a ROFR Sale is in exchange for non-cash consideration, then the ROFR Right shall be exercisable based on the Fair Market Value of such non-cash consideration.

(b) The Transferring Shareholder shall notify the Company and each ROFR Shareholder in writing of any ROFR Right at least 60 days prior to the date (the “ROFR Sale Date”) on which the Transferring Shareholder expects to consummate the ROFR Sale (the “ROFR Notice”). The ROFR Notice shall set forth (i) a copy of the written bona fide offer, if any, (ii) a copy of the stock purchase agreement, merger agreement or any other agreements entered or to be entered into with the Third Party Purchaser with respect to the Transfer (if available), and if not available, a summary of the material terms and conditions pertaining to the Transfer, (iii) the proposed amount and form of consideration and other material terms and conditions, and (iv) the ROFR Sale Date.

10

(c) The Company may exercise its ROFR Right by delivery of an irrevocable written notice (the “ROFR Exercise Notice”) to the Transferring Shareholder and each ROFR Shareholder, within 30 days following receipt of the ROFR Notice (the “Company ROFR Exercise Period”), accepting the Transfer of all (but not less than all) of the ROFR Shares on the ROFR Terms.

(d) In the event the Company does not deliver a ROFR Exercise Notice during the Company ROFR Exercise Period, or delivers a ROFR Exercise Notice for less than all of the ROFR Shares, then each ROFR Shareholder may exercise its ROFR Right by delivery of a ROFR Exercise Notice to the Company and the Transferring Shareholder, within 30 days following the first to occur of (i) the expiration of the Company ROFR Exercise Period or (ii) receipt of a ROFR Exercise Notice from the Company which relates to less than all of the ROFR Shares (the “Shareholder ROFR Exercise Period” and, together with the Company ROFR Exercise Period, the “ROFR Exercise Periods”), accepting the Transfer of all (but not less than all) of its Pro Rata Share of the ROFR Shares on the ROFR Terms. Such ROFR Right shall continue to apply repeatedly and iteratively during the Shareholder ROFR Exercise Period until the time when all ROFR Shares have been allocated to the ROFR Shareholders or when all of the ROFR Shareholders have elected not to make further purchases of ROFR Shares.

(e) If the Transferring Shareholder receives one or more ROFR Exercise Notices for all of the ROFR Shares prior to the end of the applicable ROFR Exercise Period, then the Parties shall consummate the sale of the ROFR Shares on the ROFR Terms.

(f) If the Transferring Shareholder does not receive ROFR Exercise Notices sufficient to sell all of the ROFR Shares within the applicable ROFR Exercise Period, then all of the ROFR Exercise Notices shall be null and void, and the Transferring Shareholder may effect the Transfer of all of the ROFR Shares to the same Third Party Purchaser identified in the ROFR Notice on the ROFR Terms on or prior to the later of (i) the 60th day following the date of the expiration of the applicable ROFR Exercise Period and (ii) if applicable, the 10th day following the receipt of all necessary governmental approvals, but in no event later than the 90th day following the date of the expiration of the applicable ROFR Exercise Period. If the Transfer of the ROFR Shares is not consummated within such time period, then any proposed Transfer by such Transferring Shareholder shall once again be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.03.

Section 1.04 Void Assignment. Any purported Transfer of any Equity Interests of the Company in contravention of this Agreement shall be void and ineffectual and shall not bind or be recognized by the Company or any other Party, and the Company shall not record such Transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Equity Interests as the owner of such Equity Interests for any purpose. In the event of any Transfer in contravention of this Agreement, the purported transferee shall have no right to any profits, losses or distributions of the Company or any other rights of a Principal Shareholder.

11

Section 1.05 Cooperation. In the event of a potential sale by a Transferring Shareholder to a Third Party Purchaser pursuant to the terms of Section 1.03, the Directors and officers of the Company shall (i) permit such potential Third Party Purchaser, after executing a reasonable confidentiality agreement in customary form, to conduct a due diligence review of the Company and its business, operations, prospects, assets, liabilities, financial condition, and results of operations, and (ii) make available the officers and technical personnel of the Company, during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice and at such Transferring Shareholder’s sole cost and expense, for the purpose of making presentations to, and answering questions from, such potential Third Party Purchaser.

Section 1.06 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Principal Shareholder shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with this Article I, and any Principal Shareholder effecting a Transfer pursuant to this Article I shall reimburse the Company for any expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith.

Article II.

LIQUIDATION; VOLUNTARY TERMINATION

This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the complete liquidation of the Company, or otherwise with the written consent of each Principal Shareholder; provided that such transaction is duly approved pursuant to, and complies with, the other provisions of this Agreement and applicable Law.

Article III.

LOCKUP

Section 3.01 “Market Stand-off” Agreement.

(a) Each of the Holders agrees not to directly or indirectly sell or otherwise Transfer or dispose of any Locked Up Securities held by such Holder, if requested by the Company and an underwriter of Equity Interests of the Company, for a period not longer than (A) the 180-day period following a Public Offering and (B) the 90-day period following any subsequent public offering of Locked Up Securities declared effective under the Securities Act, in each case beginning on the effective date of the registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act if, and to the extent, requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of an underwritten public offering (which period may be extended upon the request of the managing underwriter, to extent required by any rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.); provided that if such offering includes a primary underwritten offering by the Company, all directors and executive officers of the Company enter into similar agreements; and provided further that if such offering does not include a primary underwritten offering by the Company, the Holders shall only be required to enter into such agreements if such Holder is selling shares in connection with such offering.

12

(b) If requested by the underwriters, the Holders shall execute a separate agreement to the foregoing effect. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares (or securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said period. The provisions of this Section 3.01 shall be binding upon any transferee who acquires Locked Up Securities.

Article IV.

INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Section 4.01 Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.

(a) Indemnification. Except as limited by applicable Law or the amended and restated articles of association of the Company, and subject to the provisions of this Section 4.01, the Directors, and the directors or managers of each Subsidiary thereof (each an “Indemnitee”), shall not be liable for, and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against, any losses, liabilities and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (each, a “Loss”), arising from proceedings in which such Indemnitee may be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of he or she being a Director of the Company, or director or manager of any Subsidiary thereof, or by reason of his or her involvement in the management of the affairs of the Company or its Subsidiaries, whether or not he or she continues to be such at the time any such Loss is paid or incurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall not be held harmless or indemnified under this Section 4.01 for any Losses arising out of the fraud, dishonesty, intentional misconduct, or knowing or reckless breach of Indemnitee’s obligations under this Agreement, or bad faith of such Indemnitee. The rights of indemnification provided in this Section 4.01 are in addition to any rights to which an Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of Law. Without limiting the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification by the Company against reasonable expenses (as incurred), including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of any action to which the Indemnitee may be made a party (without regard to the success of such defense), to the fullest extent permitted under the provisions of applicable Law.

(b) Payments Prior to Final Disposition. Except as limited by applicable Law or the amended and restated articles of association of the Company, expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any proceeding (except a proceeding by or in the right of the Company or any Principal Shareholder against such Indemnitee) shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding, upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if such Indemnitee is determined pursuant to this Section 4.01 or adjudicated to be ineligible for indemnification. This undertaking shall be an unlimited general obligation of the Indemnitee but does not need to be secured unless so determined by the Board.

13

(c) Heirs and Representatives. The indemnification provided by this Section 4.01 shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of each Indemnitee.

(d) Officers and Agents. The Company may, at the direction of the Board, indemnify and advance expenses to any officer, employee or agent of the Company or its Subsidiaries to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance expenses under Section 4.01(a) and Section 4.01(b).

(e) Not Exclusive. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Section 4.01 shall not be exclusive of any other right that a Director or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.01 may have or hereafter acquire under any Law or provision of this Agreement.

(f) No Shareholder Personal Liability for Indemnification. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company and shall not cause any Principal Shareholder to incur any personal liability or result in any liability of any Principal Shareholder to any third party.

Section 4.02 D&O Insurance. The Company shall purchase and maintain director and officer liability insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was a Director or officer of the Company, or any director, officer or manager of any Subsidiary thereof, against any liability asserted against such Person or incurred by such Person in any capacity identified in Section 4.01 or arising out of such Person’s status as an Indemnitee, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against that liability under Section 4.01.

Article V.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 5.01 Confidentiality.

(a) Each Party agrees and acknowledges that the Principal Shareholders may receive confidential, non-public information about the Company and any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) No Party shall disclose any information relating to the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (the “Confidential Information”) without the prior written consent of the Board (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed); provided that (i) Confidential Information may be disclosed if required by applicable Law, legal process or any stock exchange or other self-regulatory organization (subject to the provisions of Section 5.01(c)), or in connection with the making or maintaining of any claim by such Party, arising under this Agreement or asserting or enforcing any rights hereunder and (ii) each Party may disclose Confidential Information to its Representatives that are actively engaged in the monitoring or oversight of such Party’s investment in the Company and its Subsidiaries, so long as (x) such Representatives agree to keep such information confidential (or the Party directs such Representative to keep such information confidential, in which case such Party shall be liable for any failure on the part of its Representatives to so keep such information confidential), and (y) the sharing of such Confidential Information with such Representatives does not violate any applicable Law; provided, further, that the Newegg Shareholders and Liaison, their respective Affiliates, and their respective Representatives shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information to financial institutions, investment bankers and prospective purchasers (who are bound by a customary non-disclosure agreement approved by the Board) in connection with soliciting, marketing and effecting a permitted Transfer of its Company Shares. The term “Confidential Information” does not include information that (A) is or has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a direct or indirect disclosure by a Party or any of its Representatives in breach of the provisions hereof or (B) was within the possession of a Party or any of its Representatives from a source other than the Company prior to its being furnished to such Party by or on behalf of the Company; provided, that in the case of (B) above, the source of such information was not known by such Party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Company with respect to such information.

14

(c) In the event that any Party is required by applicable Law, regulation, legal process or any stock exchange or other self-regulatory organization, to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent any Party from honoring a subpoena (or governmental order) that seeks discovery of the Confidential Information if (A) a motion for a protective order, motion to quash and/or other motion filed to prevent the production or disclosure of the Confidential Information has been denied or is not made in a timely manner; provided, however, that such Party shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which such Party’s outside legal counsel advises is required and that it exercise commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the remainder of the Confidential Information; or (B) the Company consents in writing to having the Confidential Information produced or disclosed pursuant to the subpoena (or governmental order). In no event will any Party or any of its Representatives oppose any action by the Company to obtain a protective order or other relief to prevent the disclosure of the Confidential Information or to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the Confidential Information. The Company shall promptly reimburse the Party for any reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with any action that the Party may be required to take, or is requested by the Company to take, under this Section 5.01. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no prior notice, consent or other action shall be required in respect of any disclosure of Confidential Information made to any banking, financial, accounting, securities or similar supervisory authority exercising its routine supervisory or audit functions, provided that such disclosure is made in the ordinary course and is not specific to the Company.

Section 5.02 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective legal representatives, heirs, legatees, successors and permitted assigns.

Section 5.03 Specific Performance. Each Party, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by Law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the Party’s rights under this Agreement. Each Party agrees that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by the Party of the provisions of this Agreement and each Party hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate.

15

Section 5.04 Governing Law.

(a) The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

(b) The Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the courts of the British Virgin Islands shall have exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any dispute, suit, action, arbitration or proceedings (“Proceedings”) which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the above courts for itself and in respect of its property with respect to such action. The Parties irrevocably agree that the venue would be proper in each of the above courts, and hereby waive any objection to Proceedings in the courts of the British Virgin Islands on the grounds of venue or on the basis that the Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum. Delivery of any process required by any of the above courts in accordance with Section 5.07 shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against each Party, without necessity for services by any other means provided by applicable Law.

Section 5.05 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
