At any time during the period commencing from the 12-month anniversary of the Closing and ending at such time that all of the Shares may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (as defined below) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) and the Shares are not then registered for resale by the Subscriber under the Securities Act (a “Public Information Failure”) then, in addition to such Subscriber’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Subscriber, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Shares, an amount in cash equal to one (1%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Subscriber’s Shares on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30th) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) (“Monthly Liquidated Damage”) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Subscriber to transfer the Shares pursuant to Rule 144; provided that in no event shall the Monthly Liquidated Damage hereunder plus the monthly liquidated damage defined in the Registration Rights Agreement shall exceed one (1%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Subscriber’s Shares. The payments to which the Subscriber shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 6(b) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments”. Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required hereunder and under the Registration Rights Agreement to pay to such Subscriber an aggregate amount that exceeds 6.0% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by such Subscriber for its Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

 

(c) Public Disclosure. The Company shall (a) by 9:30 am ET on the business day following the date hereof, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (“Disclosure Time”), and (b) file a Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Transaction Agreement as exhibit thereto, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company represents to the Subscriber that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Subscriber by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement. In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates on the one hand, and any of the Subscriber or any of their affiliates on the other hand, shall terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the neither party shall publicly disclose the name of the other party, or include the name of the other party in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of the party being disclosed, except (a) as required by federal securities law in connection with any registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b) shall be made to the other party.

 

13

 

 

(d) Non-Public Information. Following the Disclosure Time or otherwise as required by applicable law, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other person acting on its behalf will provide any Subscriber or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Subscriber shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential. The Company understands and confirms that the Subscriber shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company; provided, that each Subscriber shall be solely responsible for its compliance with federal, state and foreign securities laws.

 

(e) Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use commerically reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and prior to the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares on such Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

 

(f) Subsequent Equity Sales. From the date hereof until 90 days after the date Effective Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6(f) shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance. “Common Stock Equivalents” means any securities of the Company or the subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Common Stock. “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by the board of directors of the Company, (b) securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of the Closing to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term of such securities, (c) equity securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by the board of directors of the Company, provided that such securities are issued as “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144) and carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection therewith during the prohibition period in this Section 6(f), and provided that any such issuance shall only be to a counterparty (or to the equityholders of a counterparty) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities, (d) shares and securities issued in connection with the Transaction and (e) shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to Other Subscription Agreements on the same terms and conditions hereunder entered into after the date hereof and prior to the earlier of (A) the initial filing of the registration statement required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and (B) the Filing Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). No Other Subscription Agreements will be amended in any material respect following the date of this Subscription Agreement, and each Other Subscription Agreement reflects the same Per Share Purchase Price and terms that are not materially more favorable to such Other Subscriber thereunder than the terms of this Subscription Agreement.

 

14

 

 

(g) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. The Subscriber covenants that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will (i) execute any purchases or sales of any of the Company’s securities or (ii) will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Company; in each instance during the period commencing at the time that the Subscriber first learned of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 6(c). The Subscriber covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 6(c), the Subscriber will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Subscriber makes no representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 6(c), (ii) the Subscriber shall not be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) the Subscriber shall have no duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 6(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case that the Subscriber is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Subscriber’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, “Short Sales” shall include, without limitation, all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges (other than pledges in the ordinary course of business as part of prime brokerage arrangements), forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, swaps and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker dealers or foreign regulated brokers.

 

15

 

 

(h) Subscriber Undertaking. The Company may request from the Subscriber such additional information as the Company may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Subscriber to acquire the Shares, and the Subscriber shall provide such information to the Company upon such request to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with the Subscriber’s internal policies and procedures, and provided that the Company agrees to keep confidential any such information provided by the Subscriber.

 

7. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of: (a) the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (b) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; or (c) written notice by either party to the other party to terminate this Subscription Agreement if the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated on or prior to the earlier of (i) July 31, 2021 and (ii) the “Outside Date” as defined in the Transaction Agreement, as it may be amended; provided that (i) nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Company shall notify the Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement and (ii) the provisions of Sections 8 through 10 of this Subscription Agreement will survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement and continue indefinitely.

 

16

 

 

8. Trust Account Waiver. The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants that it has read the SPAC Prospectus and understands that the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the overallotment shares acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders (including overallotment shares acquired by the Company’s underwriters, the “Public Stockholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the SPAC Prospectus, the Company may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Stockholders in the event they elect to redeem their Company shares in connection with the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the SPAC Prospectus) (the “Business Combination”) or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (b) to the Public Stockholders if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 18 months after the closing of the IPO, which has since been extended, upon the execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreement, to April 30, 2021, and subject to further extension by amendment to the Company’s organizational documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 in working capital obligations and (d) to the Company after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Subscriber hereby agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subscription Agreement, Subscriber does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have, and waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claims of any kind it has or may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Shares, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account (or any distributions therefrom directly or indirectly to Public Stockholders (“Public Distributions”)), and agrees not to seek recourse or make or bring any action, suit, claim or other proceeding against the Trust Account or Public Distributions as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Shares, regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. To the extent the Subscriber commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, as a result of or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Shares, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against the Company or its Representatives, the Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Subscriber’s sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account (other than Public Distributions) and that such claim shall not permit the Subscriber (or any person claiming on its behalf or in lieu of any of it) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 8 to the contrary, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the Subscriber’s right, title, interest or claim to the Trust Account by virtue of the Subscriber’s record or beneficial ownership of Common Stock acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, including but not limited to any redemption right with respect to any such securities of the Company. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Representatives” with respect to any person shall mean such person’s affiliates and its and its affiliate’s respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, agents and other representatives.

 

9. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Transferability. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Subscriber hereunder (other than the Shares acquired hereunder, if any, subject to applicable securities laws) may be transferred or assigned by the Subscriber without the prior written consent of the Company, and any purported transfer or assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Closing the Subscriber may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to an affiliate of the Subscriber, or to any fund or account managed by the same investment manager as Subscriber, that is an Accredited Investor or an Institutional Account, so long as the Subscriber provides the Company with at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice of such assignment and a completed Investor Questionnaire duly executed by such assignee; provided, further that (i) such assignee will be deemed to have made to the Company each of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Subscriber set forth in Section 5 as of the date of such assignment and as of the Closing Date, and (ii) no such assignment by the Subscriber will relieve the Subscriber of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement, and the Subscriber will remain secondarily liable under this Subscription Agreement for the obligations of the assignee hereunder.

 

17

 

 

(b) Company Reliance. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company, the Placement Agents, the Target and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement, provided, however, that the Closing may only be enforced against the Subscriber by the Company. Prior to the Closing, the Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate in any material respect.

 

(c) Survival. All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

(e) Entire Agreement. This Subscription Agreement, with the Registration Rights Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company and the Subscriber in connection with the Offering).

 

(f) Successors and Assigns.

(g) Severability. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

 

(h) Counterparts. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

 

(j) JURY TRIAL. THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE.
