RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the
Company proposes to sell an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock (the “Firm Shares”), par value $0.0004 per
share (“Common Stock”) in a public offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to that certain underwriting

the Underwriters an option to purchase up to 375,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”);
and

 

WHEREAS, upon
the closing of the Offering, the Company has agreed to deposit an aggregate amount of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000)
from the proceeds of the Offering to be received by the Company with the Escrow Agent in an escrow account, to be held, uninvested and
disbursed by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement.

 

    	 		 

     

    

 

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises, and further consideration of the covenants set forth hereafter, it is hereby agreed mutually as
follows:

 

ARTICLE 1

ESCROW DEPOSIT

 

1.1. Receipt of
Escrow Property.

 

(a) Upon
the execution of this Escrow Agreement by each of the parties hereto and upon the Closing of the Offering, the Company shall cause to
be deposited $250,000 into a United States Dollar denominated account (the “Escrow Account”) established by the Escrow
Agent. The Escrow Account is set forth below:

 

Manufacturers &
Traders Trust Co.

ABA# [●]

A/C# [●]

A/C Name:
Phoenix Motor Inc.

Attn: Ellen
Jean-Baptiste

 

(b) The
Escrow Agent will hold the deposit in the Escrow Account, together with all investments thereof and all interest accumulated thereon
and proceeds therefrom (the “Escrow Property”), in escrow upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Escrow Agreement
and shall not disburse funds from the Escrow Account except as provided herein.

 

1.2. Investments.
The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Property un-invested, without interest thereon. In the event that market conditions are such that
negative interest applies to amounts deposited with the Escrow Agent, the Company shall be responsible for the payment of such interest
and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct from amounts on deposit with it an amount necessary to pay such negative interest. For
the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification protections afforded to the Escrow Agent under Section 3.1 of this Agreement shall cover
any interest-related expenses (including, but not limited to, negative interest) incurred by the Escrow Agent in the performance of its
duties hereunder.

 

1.3. Disbursements.

 

(a) The
Escrowed Property shall be held by the Escrow Agent for the purpose of satisfying the initial $250,000 of the indemnification obligations
of the Company, with respect to the Escrow Property, pursuant to Section 3(o) of the Underwriting Agreement, for a period of
24 months from the closing of the Offering. Disbursement of such Escrowed Property upon a claim of indemnity pursuant to the terms of
the Underwriting Agreement shall be determined by an independent third-party intermediary (who shall have the requisite experience in
determining indemnification claims) to be chosen by mutual written consent of the Company and the Representative. If the Company and
the Representative are unable to agree on such intermediary within 30 days upon a written claim for indemnity by the Representative,
such intermediary shall be a single arbitrator (with the requisite experience in determining indemnification claims) selected by the
American Arbitration Association’s New York office.

 

    	 		 

     

    

 

(b) In
the event that any litigation or proceeding arising out of any matter in connection with the Offering and the Representative acting in
its capacity as the representative of the Underwriters (which matter would be covered by the Company’s indemnification obligations
under the Underwriting Agreement) within 24 months following the Closing Date and in which the Company, the Representative, or the Escrow
Property becomes the subject of such litigation or proceeding, the Representative and the Company hereby authorize the Escrow Agent,
at the Representative’s sole instruction upon Representative’s written notice to the Escrow Agent, if not otherwise so required,
to release and deposit the Escrow Property with the clerk of the court in which the litigation is pending, and thereupon the Escrow Agent
shall be relieved and discharged of any further responsibility hereunder and this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to the terms hereof.
The Company and the Representative further hereby authorize the Escrow Agent, if it receives conflicting claims to any of the Escrow
Property, is threatened with litigation in its capacity as escrow agent under this Escrow Agreement, or if the Escrow Agent determines
it is necessary to do so for any other reason relating to this Escrow Agreement or the Offering, to interplead all interested parties
in any court of competent jurisdiction and to deposit the Escrow Property with the clerk of that court and thereupon the Escrow Agent
shall be relieved and discharged of any further responsibility hereunder and this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(c) In
all instances, if either (i) no claim for indemnity is made by the Representative during the 24-month period from the closing of
the Offering or (ii) it is finally determined that the Representative is not entitled to any disbursement (or any further disbursement,
as the case may be) of Escrow Property by the conclusion of the 24-month period from the closing of the Offering, the Escrow Agent, upon
receipt of a Written Direction, shall disburse to the Company the full balance of the Escrow Property then held by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account designated by the Company.

 

(d) In
the event that Escrow Agent makes any payment to any other party pursuant to this Escrow Agreement and for any reason such payment (or
any portion thereof) is required to be returned to the Escrow Account or another party or is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a receiver, trustee or other party under any bankruptcy or insolvency
law, other federal or state law, common law or equitable doctrine, then the recipient shall repay to the Escrow Agent upon written request
the amount so paid to it.

 

(e) The
Escrow Agent shall, in its sole discretion, comply with judgments or orders issued or process entered by any court with respect to the
Escrow Property, including without limitation any attachment, levy or garnishment, without any obligation to determine such court’s
jurisdiction in the matter and in accordance with its normal business practices. If the Escrow Agent complies with any such judgment,
order or process, then Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either Party or any other person by reason of such compliance, regardless
of the final disposition of any such judgment, order or process.

 

    	 		 

     

    

 

(f) Each
Party understands and agrees that the Escrow Agent shall have no obligation or duty to act upon a Written Direction, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A, delivered to the Escrow Agent for the disbursement of Escrow Property under this Escrow Agreement if
such Written Direction is not (i) in writing, (ii) signed by, in the case of Company, any individual designated by Company
on Exhibit B-1 hereto or, in the case of Representative, any individual designated by Representative on Exhibit B-2
hereto (in each case, each such individual an “Authorized Representative” of such Party), and (iii) delivered
to, and able to be authenticated by, the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 1.4.

 

(g) Upon
request, the Escrow Agent will furnish monthly statements to each Party setting forth the activity in the Escrow Account.

 

(h) A
party may specify in a Written Direction whether the Escrow Property shall be disbursed by way of wire transfer or check. If the written
notice for the disbursement of funds does not so specify the disbursement means, the Escrow Agent may disburse the Escrow Property by
any means chosen by the Escrow Agent.

 

1.4. Written Direction
and Other Instruction.

 

(a) With
respect to any Written Direction or any other notice, direction or other instruction required to be delivered by a Party to the Escrow
Agent under this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent is authorized to follow and rely upon any and all such instructions given to it from
time to time if the Escrow Agent believes, in good faith, that such instruction is genuine and to have been signed by an Authorized Representative
of such Party. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty or obligation to verify that the person who sent such instruction is, in fact, a person
duly authorized to give instructions on behalf of a Party, other than to verify that the signature of the Authorized Representative on
any such instruction appears to be the signature of such person. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it is fully informed of the
protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting instructions to the Escrow Agent, and that there may be more
secure methods of transmitting instructions other than the method selected by such Party. The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility
or liability for any loss which may result from:

 

(i) any
action taken or not taken by the Escrow Agent in good faith reliance on any such signatures or instructions;

 

    	 		 

     

    

 

(ii) as
a result of a Party’s reliance upon or use of any particular method of delivering instructions to the Escrow Agent, including the
risk of interception of such instruction and misuse by third parties; or

 

(iii) any
officer or Authorized Representative of a Party named in an incumbency certificate, Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2
delivered hereunder prior to actual receipt by the Escrow Agent of a more current incumbency certificate or an updated Exhibit B-1
or Exhibit B-2 and a reasonable time for the Escrow Agent to act upon such updated or more current certificate or Exhibit.

 

(b) Company
may, at any time, update Exhibit B-1 and Representative may, at any time, update Exhibit B-2 by signing and submitting
to the Escrow Agent an updated Exhibit. Any updated Exhibit shall not be effective unless the Escrow Agent countersigns a copy thereof.
The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to a reasonable time to act to implement any changes on an updated Exhibit.

 

1.5. Income Tax
Allocation and Reporting

 

(a) Each
Party agrees that, for tax reporting purposes, the Escrow Property shall be deemed to be the property of the Company and all interest
and other income from investment of the Escrow Property shall, as of the end of each calendar year and to the extent required by the
Internal Revenue Service, be reported as having been earned by such Party, whether or not such income was disbursed during such calendar
year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to prepare or file any Federal or state tax
report or return with respect to the Escrow Property, except for the delivery and filing of tax information reporting forms required
to be delivered and filed with the Internal Revenue Service. With respect to the preparation, delivery and filing of such required tax
information reporting forms and all matters pertaining to the reporting of earnings on the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent shall be
entitled to request and receive written instructions from the Company, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively and
without further inquiry on such written instructions. With respect to any other payments made under this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow
Agent shall not be deemed the payer and shall have no responsibility for performing tax reporting. The Escrow Agent’s function
of making such payments is solely ministerial and upon express direction of the Parties.

 

(b) Prior
to the execution of this Escrow Agreement, or within two days thereafter, each Party shall provide the Escrow Agent with certified tax
identification numbers by furnishing appropriate forms W-9 or W-8 and such other forms and documents that the Escrow Agent may request.
Each Party understands that if such tax reporting documentation is not provided and certified to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent may
be required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to withhold a portion of any
interest or other income earned on the investment of the Escrow Property.

 

    	 		 

     

    

 

(c)
To the extent that the Escrow Agent becomes liable for the payment of any taxes in respect of income derived from the investment of
the Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent shall satisfy such liability to the extent possible from the Escrow Property. The Parties,
jointly and severally, hereby indemnify, defend and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against any tax, late payment, interest,
penalty or other cost or expense that may be assessed against the Escrow Agent on or with respect to the Escrow Property and the
investment thereof unless such tax, late payment, interest, penalty or other expense was finally adjudicated to have been directly
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. The indemnification provided by this
Section 1.5(c) is in addition to the indemnification provided in Section 3.1 and shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination of this Escrow Agreement.

 

1.6. Delivery and
Authentication of Written Direction.

 

(a) A
Written Direction must be delivered to the Escrow Agent by one of the delivery methods set forth in Section 4.3.

 

(b) Each
Party and the Escrow Agent hereby agree that the following security procedures will be used to verify the authenticity of a Written Direction
delivered by any Party to the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement:

 

(i) The
Written Direction must include the name and signature of the person delivering the disbursement request to the Escrow Agent. The Escrow
Agent will check that the name and signature of the person identified on the Written Direction appears to be the same as the name and
signature of an Authorized Representative of such Party;

 

(ii) The
Escrow Agent will make a telephone call to an Authorized Representative of the Party purporting to deliver the Written Direction (which
Authorized Representative may be the same as the Authorized Representative who delivered the Written Direction) at any telephone number
for such Authorized Representative as set forth on Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2, as applicable, to obtain oral
confirmation of delivery of the Written Direction. If the Written Direction is a joint written notice of the Parties, the Escrow Agent
shall call back an Authorized Representative of both of those Parties; and

 

    	 		 

     

    

 

(iii) If
the Written Direction is sent by email to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent also shall review such email address to verify that it appears
to have been sent from an email address for an Authorized Representative of such Party as set forth on Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2,
as applicable, or from an email address for a person authorized under Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2, as applicable,
to email a Written Direction to the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Authorized Representative.

 

(c) Each
Party acknowledges and agrees that given its particular circumstances, including the nature of its business, the size, type and frequency
of its instructions, transactions and files, internal procedures and systems, the alternative security procedures offered by the Escrow
Agent and the security procedures in general use by other customers and banks similarly situated, the security procedures set forth in
this Section 1.4 are a commercially reasonable method of verifying the authenticity of a payment order in a Written Direction.

 

(d) The
Escrow Agent is authorized to execute, and each Party expressly agrees to be bound by any payment order in a Written Direction issued
in its name (and associated funds transfer) (i) that is accepted by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the security procedures
set forth in this Section 1.4, whether or not authorized by such Party and/or (ii) that is authorized by or on behalf of such
Party or for which such Party is otherwise bound under the law of agency, whether or not the security procedures set forth in this Section 1.4
were followed, and to debit the Escrow Account for the amount of the payment order. Notwithstanding anything else, the Escrow Agent shall
be deemed to have acted in good faith and without negligence, gross negligence or misconduct if the Escrow Agent is authorized to execute
the payment order under this Section 1.4. Any action taken by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 1.4 prior to the Escrow
Agent’s actual receipt and acknowledgement of a notice of revocation, cancellation or amendment of a Written Direction shall not
be affected by such notice of revocation, cancellation or amendment of a Written Direction.

 

(e) The
security procedures set forth in this Section 1.4 are intended to verify the authenticity of payment orders provided to the Escrow
Agent and are not designed to, and do not, detect errors in the transmission or content of any payment order. The Escrow Agent is not
responsible for detecting an error in the payment order, regardless of whether either Party believes the error was apparent, and the
Escrow Agent is not liable for any losses arising from any failure to detect an error.

 

    	 		 

     

    

 

(f) When
instructed to credit or pay a party by both name and a unique numeric or alpha-numeric identifier (e.g. ABA number or account number),
the Escrow Agent, and any other banks participating in the funds transfer, may rely solely on the unique identifier, even if it identifies
a party different than the party named. Each Party agrees to be bound by the rules of any funds transfer network used in connection
with any payment order accepted by the Escrow Agent hereunder.

 

(g) The
Escrow Agent shall not be obliged to make any payment requested under this Escrow Agreement if it is unable to validate the authenticity
of the request by the security procedures set forth in this Section 1.4. The Escrow Agent’s inability to confirm a payment
order may result in a delay or failure to act on that payment order. Notwithstanding anything else in this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow
Agent shall not be required to treat a payment order as having been received until the Escrow Agent has authenticated it pursuant to
the security procedures in this Section 1.4 and shall not be liable or responsible for any losses arising in relation to such delay
or failure to act.

 

1.7. Termination.
This Escrow Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) [●], 2024, or (ii) pursuant to the terms of Section 1.3(b);
provided that if the Escrow Agreement terminates by its terms on [●], 2024, at such time the Escrow Agent is authorized and directed
to disburse the Escrow Property in accordance with Section 1.3 (Disbursements). Upon termination pursuant to the terms hereof, this
Escrow Agreement shall be of no further force and effect, except that the provisions of Sections 1.5 (Tax Allocation and Reporting),
3.1(Indemnification), 3.2 (Limitation of Liability), and 3.4 (Compensation) hereof shall survive termination.

company (“Lender”), and Phoenix Motor Inc.., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Lender.

 

WHEREAS, Lender and Borrower
desire to establish an intercompany loan arrangement, as described below, to provide for working capital and for any other purpose deemed
necessary by Lender and Borrower.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual promises, covenants and conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

	 	1.	Loan and Repayment.

 

(a) Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, Lender agrees to lend up to an aggregate amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Maximum
Principal Amount”).

 

(b) Unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by the parties, the Maximum Principal Amount and any Cash Advances (as defined below) shall be loaned on an unsecured
basis.

 

(c) At any time
and from time to time while this Agreement is in effect, Borrower may request to borrow from Lender an amount up to $250,000. Each amount
actually advanced to Borrower under this Agreement is herein called a “Cash Advance” and shall be listed on Exhibit A hereto.

 

(d) Each request
made by Borrower for a Cash Advance (a “Cash Advance Request”) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached
hereto and delivered to Lender at Lender’s address indicated in Section 6 below, or at such other address as Lender shall have
designated by written notice to Borrower. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Lender shall, within 5 business days after
receipt of a Cash Advance Request, deliver to Borrower the amount of the requested Cash Advance by check or wire transfer, in accordance
with Borrower’s instructions.

 

(e) Borrower shall
repay the Cash Advances on the terms set forth herein and such other terms as the parties shall agree upon. Unless otherwise agreed to
in writing by the parties, the Cash Advances shall mature and become payable on the Termination Date (as defined in Section 2 below).

 

(f) The unpaid principal
amount advanced hereunder shall accrue simple interest from the date of each Cash Advance until payment or conversion in full at a rate
equal to 100% of the “Applicable Federal Rate” for long-term obligations prescribed under Section 1274(d) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any successor provision with similar applicability), as in effect from time to time.

 

(g) If all of the
obligations outstanding under this Agreement have not been previously converted (as provided in Section 3 hereof), then the outstanding
principal amount advanced hereunder plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts accrued under this Agreement (collectively,
the “Balance”) shall be due and payable on the Termination Date (as defined below).

 

(h) Borrower may
discharge the obligations it has undertaken hereby, at any time, by repaying the Balance, without penalty. Borrower may, without penalty,
make a partial prepayment of principal plus interest in any amount at any time and may thereby reduce any required future payments hereunder.

 

(i) Any payments
to Lender in satisfaction of Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall be applied first to the amount of accrued interest hereunder
until such accrued interest has been paid in full, and then to any outstanding principal balance.

 

2. Term of Agreement.
The initial term for which this Agreement shall be in effect shall expire on the second anniversary of the date hereof; provided, however,
that this Agreement shall automatically be renewed for successive one year terms thereafter unless either party shall give written notice
to the other party not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of any term notifying the other party that such party is terminating
this Agreement upon the date on which the current term expires (the “Termination Date”).
