Exhibit 10.4 


 


PRIVATE
PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT


 


THIS PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS
PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of October 28, 2021 (as it may from time to time be amended and including all exhibits referenced herein,
this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between Project Energy Reimagined Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted
company (the “Company”), and Smilodon Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”).


 


WHEREAS, the Company intends
to consummate an initial public offering of the Company’s units (the “Public Offering”), each unit consisting
of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Share”), of the Company and one-half of one
redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share. The Purchaser
has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 8,150,000 warrants (or 8,900,000 warrants in the aggregate to the extent the over-allotment option
in connection with the Public Offering is exercised) (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each Private Placement Warrant
entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share.


 


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:


 


AGREEMENT

On the date of the consummation
of the Public Offering or on such earlier time and date as may be mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Company (the “IPO
Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, an aggregate
of 8,150,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $8,150,000 (the “Purchase
Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company in accordance with the Company’s
wiring instructions at least one business day prior to the IPO Closing Date. On the IPO Closing Date, the Company shall either, at its
option, deliver certificates evidencing the Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Purchaser on such date duly registered in the
Purchaser’s name to the Purchaser, or effect such delivery in book-entry form. On the date of the consummation of the closing of
the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering or on such earlier time and date as may be mutually agreed by the Purchaser
and the Company (each such date, an “Over-allotment Closing Date,” and each Over-allotment Closing Date (if any) and
the IPO Closing Date being sometimes referred to herein as a “Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the
Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, up to an aggregate of 750,000 Private Placement Warrants, in the same proportion
as the amount of the over-allotment option that is exercised, at a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of up to
$750,000 (if the over-allotment option in connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full) (the “Over-allotment Purchase
Price”), which shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company in accordance with the Company’s
wiring instructions at least one business day prior to such Over-allotment Closing Date. On the Over-allotment Closing Date, upon the
payment by the Purchaser of the Over-allotment Purchase Price payable by it by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Company,
the Company shall either, at its option, deliver certificates evidencing the Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Purchaser on
such date duly registered in the Purchaser’s name to the Purchaser, or effect such delivery in book-entry form.

(i)            The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized and approved by the Purchaser. This Agreement constitutes

of any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject that would materially impact its ability to
perform its obligations hereunder.


 


C.            Investment
Representations.


 


(i)            The
Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the Shares issuable upon such
exercise (collectively, the “Securities”), for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only and
not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.


 


(ii)            The
Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated
pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.


 


(iii)           The
Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration
requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and
the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the
availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities.


 


(iv)           The
Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning
of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act.


 


(v)           The
Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating
to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to
ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities
involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed
investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Securities.


 


(vi)           The
Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made
any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Purchaser
nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.


 






    


     


    

 


(vii)          The
Purchaser understands that: (a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or
(2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement,
neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities
laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. While the Purchaser understands that Rule 144 under
the Securities Act is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination
related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company, the Purchaser understands that Rule 144
includes an exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met: (i) the issuer of the securities that was formerly
a shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (iii) the
issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12
months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and
(iv) at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.


 


(viii)         The
Purchaser has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, understands the high degree of risk associated with investments
in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment
in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the amount contemplated hereunder for an
indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and will have
no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser can
afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities.
