Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Revised Backstop Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement” or this “Subscription Agreement”) amends and replaces, in its entirety, the terms and conditions of the Backstop Subscription Agreement entered into by the parties hereto as of February [___], 2022, and shall constitute, from and after the date of execution hereof, one of the Backstop Agreements referred to below for all purposes referred to hereunder and under any other Backstop Agreement. In connection with the contemplated business combination (the “Transaction”) between Delwinds Insurance Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with any successor, the “Company”), and FOXO Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Target”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among, the Company, Target and certain other parties named therein, the Company is seeking commitments to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Purchase Price”).  The Company is offering shares of Common Stock in a private placement (the “Offering”) in which the Company expects to sell and issue a number of shares of Common Stock pursuant to backstop commitments through subscription agreements on substantially the same terms hereof for an aggregate commitment amount, when combined with the commitment hereunder, of $10,000,000 (together with this Backstop Subscription Agreement, the “Backstop Agreements”) to ensure that the Company will have at least Ten Million U.S. Dollars ($10,000,000) in cash and cash equivalents (the “Threshold Amount”) as of the Transaction Closing (as defined below), including remaining funds in its Trust Account (as defined below) after redemptions of Public Stockholders (as defined below), but prior to the payment of the Company’s transaction expenses and other liabilities (and without double-counting Convertible Debt as described below); provided, that the Threshold Amount will be reduced by up to Five Million U.S. Dollars ($5,000,000) for (a) the issuance by the Company at the Closing, whether to the Subscriber or other investors, of convertible debt financing (the “Convertible Debt”) upon terms and conditions generally no worse to the Company than those set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, and (b) any portion of the deferred underwriting expenses owed as of the date hereof to the Company’s underwriter(s) from the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) which are reduced or paid in equity securities of the Company by agreement with the underwriter(s), or some combination thereof (the aggregate amount of clauses (a) through (b), the “Threshold Reduction”); and provided, further, that the Subscriber’s obligation to purchase shares of Common Stock hereunder may reduced or, as applicable, eliminated (i) with Target’s prior written consent or (ii) in the event that, prior to the Transaction Closing, the Company has entered into one or more backstop, non-redemption, forward purchase or similar agreements pursuant to which investor(s) have agreed to purchase or hold (as applicable) and not redeem (or reverse redemption requests with regard to) shares held by Public Stockholders in connection with the Transaction Closing.

In connection with the foregoing, the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”) and the Company agree in this Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) as follows:

1. Subscription.  As of the date written above (the “Subscription Date”), the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company up to such number of shares of Common Stock as is set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement (together with any equity securities that may be issued in exchange therefore in connection with the Transaction, the “Shares”) at the Purchase Price per Share and on the terms provided for herein.  The number of Shares to be purchased by the Subscriber shall be calculated by first determining the cash and cash equivalents available to the Company on the Closing Date (as defined below), after redemptions of shares held by Public Stockholders but prior to the payment of expenses and other liabilities of the Company, and prior to any issuances under this Subscription Agreement or any of the other Backstop Agreements (the “Available Cash”).  If Available Cash plus the Threshold Reduction is less than the Threshold Amount, the Subscriber shall purchase such number of Shares at the Purchase Price per Share (the “Threshold Contribution”) as shall represent seventy-five percent (75%) of the excess of the Threshold Amount over the sum of the Available Cash plus the Threshold Reduction (subject to a maximum number of Shares as set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement).  In the event the Available Cash shall equal or exceed the Minimum Cash, the Subscriber shall have no obligation to (and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be entitled to) purchase Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

6. Registration Rights. 

(a) The Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing, the Company will file with the SEC (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Shares (together with any other equity interests received in exchange therefor, the “Registrable Securities,” as further described below), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. The Company agrees that the Company will cause such Registration Statement or another registration statement (which may be a “shelf” registration statement) to remain effective until the earlier of (i) two (2) years from the issuance of the Registrable Securities, (ii) the date on which Subscriber ceases to hold the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or (iii) on the first date on which Subscriber can sell all of its Registrable Securities under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such equity interests that may be sold. Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of the Registrable Securities to the Company (or its successor) upon request to assist the Company in making the determination described above. The Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the Registrable Securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. If the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Company’s Registrable Securities by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, (i) such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Company registrable securities which is equal to the maximum number of Company registrable securities as is permitted by the SEC and (ii) the number of Company registrable securities to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. The Company will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to Subscriber for review reasonably in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless required or requested by the SEC; provided, that if Subscriber is to be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. “Registrable Securities” shall include the Registrable Securities acquired pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and any other equity security of the of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the Registrable Securities by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise, but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any other equity security of the Issuer owned or acquired by Subscriber. For as long as Subscriber holds the Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Company will (A) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (B) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents with the SEC required under the Exchange Act, as long as the Company remains subject to such requirements, and (C) provide all customary and reasonable cooperation necessary, in each case, to enable Subscriber to resell the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 (when Rule 144 becomes available to Subscriber), as applicable.

(b) The Company shall, at its sole expense, advise Subscriber within five (5) business days: (i) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein do not include any untrue statements of a material fact and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in the foregoing clause (iv), except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(c) The Company may delay filing or suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that the Company (i) may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two (2) occasions or for more than seventy-five (75) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve (12) month period, and (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by Subscriber of such Registrable Securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

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 Outside Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement); 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 and (ii) the provisions of Sections 7 through 10 of this Subscription Agreement will survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement and continue indefinitely. The Company shall notify the Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement.

Subscriber hereby represents and warrants that it has read the Prospectus and understands that the Company has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of the IPO and the overallotment securities 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 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 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 eighteen (18) months after the closing of the IPO, subject to extension by an 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 dissolution expenses, or (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 on behalf of itself and its affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, neither the Subscriber nor any of its affiliates do now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Subscription Agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Released Claims”). The Subscriber on behalf of itself and its affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Subscriber or any of its affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement with the Company or its affiliates). The Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Subscription Agreement and specifically relied upon by the Company and its affiliates to induce the Company to enter into this Subscription Agreement, and the Subscriber further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Subscriber and each of its affiliates under applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall not affect any rights of the Subscriber or its affiliates to receive distributions from the Trust Account in their capacities as Public Stockholders upon the redemption of their shares or the liquidation of the Company if it does not consummate a Business Combination prior to its deadline to do so.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights or obligations 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.

(b) The Company may request from the Subscriber such additional information as the Company may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of the Subscriber to acquire the Shares, and the Subscriber shall provide such information to the Company promptly upon such reasonable request, it being understood by the Subscriber that the Company may without any liability hereunder reject the Subscriber’s subscription prior to the Closing Date in the event the Subscriber fails to provide such additional information requested by the Company to evaluate the Subscriber’s eligibility or the Company determines that the Subscriber is not eligible.

(c) The Subscriber acknowledges that the Company and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement. 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, such that the conditions set forth in Sections 3(b)(i) and 3(b)(ii) would not be satisfied as of the Closing.

(f) This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought.

(i) 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. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(j) 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.

(k) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. 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.

Subscriber will promptly provide any information reasonably requested by the Company for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the Transaction (including filings with the SEC).

Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts seated in New York County, New York (and any appellate courts thereof) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (c) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court, and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other Proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in Section 9(o).
